Chapter eighteen [Part two]
I eyed his palm warily for a few seconds before letting my eyes slide lazily to his face. His facial expression was unreadable, no surprise there though, and his grey eyes were looking pointedly at something else. I crinkled my eyebrows together and tilted my head to the side, following his gaze.
Two men in business suits and a woman in an expensive tulle dress stood a few feet away from us. I caught their scrutinizing stares before they quickly averted their eyes. Their faces were somewhat recognizable like I had seen them before. I felt a little cold tingle at the back of my neck at the thought of them watching us...
"I think they're watching us," I muttered, voicing out my thoughts and whirling my head back to Mr. Asshole.
"You think?" he said with a low chuckle. "Miss. Greene, they are watching you."
I looked at him, bewildered and my face contorted into something that I was

My eyelids twitched and a deeper frown pulled on my lips. With my peripheral vision, I noticed a figure a few feet beside us; a woman with short jet black hair in a dark blood red dress that literally swept the floor around her. Something looked off about her, and it looked like she was glaring at us. I slowly tilted my head towards her but-"You can't dance and you can't see too?" Mr. Asshole said, pulling my attention back to him. "Beautiful combination, Miss. Greene. Beautiful combination."You're an asshole and you're an asshole too? Beautiful hybrid, Mr. Asshole. Beautiful hybrid.I smiled a little too widely and tried to hold back my sarcasm. "What crawled up your ass now, sir?"His expression didn't falter, to my disappointment. "Your dinosaur heels don't know the difference between linoleum floors and leather shoes.""What?"He let out a

"Ivan Trevelyan, famous Business tycoon; Chief Executive Officer and sole owner of Trevelyan Enterprise Holdings and several other worldwide branches; who holds the record for Most Eligible Bachelor in the whole of America, is getting married today," the news anchor, a middle-aged woman with ginger hair, said. "A little birdie, whose identity is better off anonymous, tipped off his wedding location and here we are, currently outside the-"My thumb that was previously hovering over the mute button of the remote, unconsciously slammed into it, shutting the news anchor up. I gawked stupidly at the flatscreen TV, even though my mind wasn't really into watching the news. A light sigh escaped my lips and I felt the reality of the whole situation weigh me down and make my heart sink into my stomach.That day was the day. The day Isabelle Greene becomes Isabelle Trevelyan. The day Mr. Asshole drops the

I turned the shower knob counterclockwise and the little strings of warm water drizzling from the showerhead ceased to exist. The unsettling feeling in my stomach increased as I padded out of the bathroom with a fluffy just-laundered towel wrapped around my body and a smaller one around my head. I strolled into the hotel suite and shuddered a little at the drastic temperature change even though it was nothing I couldn't handle.Kate was right in the middle of the hotel room when I walked out. Her arms were folded across her chest, her eyebrow was cocked high, and her gaze was unmoving from me. She wasn't there when I went to have a shower is my immediate guess was that she walked in while I was in the bathroom.I eyed her posture suspiciously and gave her a look. "Hey," I said, unsure about why she was standing statuesque in the middle of the room staring lik

The rest of the ceremony went by in a breeze and I didn't actually pay much of my attention to whatever the hell the officiant said throughout the ceremony because I was focused on calming my nerves. The ceremony wasn't that long and soon enough, it was time for the most dreaded part of the wedding (at least it was dreaded for me): The vows."Do you, Ivan Trevelyan, take, Isabelle Kimberly Greene, as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, fit or fat, for the rest of your life?"Silence.I raised my gaze to look at him, his face was taut and expressionless.He looked bored.I felt a flicker of hope in my chest.Please change your mind, please change your mind, please change your mind.The Jamaican officiant cleared his throat awkwardly again. "I said-""Is this really necessary?

(Author's Note: hey. Sorry for the delay. I had to go back to school and my school's like a boarding school, you know? Some students in my school caught covid and it had to be shut down. But the main thing is that I'm back, yay!)*My facial muscles had already started to cramp from smiling too hard at well-wishers and my eardrums were wearied of hearing the same words over and over again:'I wish you both a happy married life with a lot of children.''You should be the couple of the year!''Ah, you look so cute together.'The last one had me choking on air. If only cute could mean me wanting to strangle him.Crystal had become a lot more suspicious after witnessing the whole scene Mr. Asshole and I pulled off

(A/N: I owe you guys this <3)*I made a stupid mistake of trying to look up while trying to get out of the limo. I tripped air and my own wedding dress, stumbled, and plunged straight to the ground. I braced myself for the impact but something incredible happened.It never came.It took a few moments for it to dawn on me that two bony arms had wrapped around me to avoid me from kissing the ground. I fluttered my eyelids closed and forced out a breath."I'm sorry, ma'am," Jonas' voice resounded in my ears as the two skinny arms pulled me up to standing position. His ears were tinged with a little hint of pink and he avoided my eyes.I stared at him weirdly, wondering how those skinny arms could pull me up so easily. I pulled my undone hair away from my eyes with another breath escaping my mouth. "Thank you," I told him sincerely with a smile.He smiled back and stooped low to pick

(a/n: the last chapter was a bit too long so I divided it into two)*"What?" I repeatedHe had turned fully to me at this point and his head was slightly tilted to the right. "I believe I said that quite audibly enough for the human ear."I blinked once, then twice, and again till I lost count. My mouth opened as if it had a mind of its own, not before my brain picked up and commanded it to slam shut again. "I- I don't know what to say.""Great," he said. "Then, don't say anything at all. Are you done now?" He eyed my dumbfounded expression for a while before adding, "The plan was to have a quiet ceremony, but since you decided to experiment and called in the media, I decided that you'll bear any additional impromptu cost by having your

I couldn't sleep.I didn't know whether it was because that I was mildly insomniac, or that my room was freezing cold, or maybe because my bed was harder, way harder than the normal, average bed needed for normal people to sleep in.I had a feeling it was because of all three.Groaning a little louder than needed and successfully managing to sound like a female gorilla during labor, I rolled over to the extreme edge of the bed only to roll back to my previous position. I wiggled my hips deep into the bed trying to find a way to make my stone-hard bed somewhat comfortable to my behind.Goosebumps trailed over my arms as I sat up straight and rested my back on the rock-hard headboard of my rock-hard bed. And somehow, it felt like the headboard was less hard than the bed itself. I wrapped the night robe of my silk nightdress tighter around me and shoved my legs deeper into my thick, soft comforter. The pad
