[ Myrtle's Point of View ]
"Myrtle Piena Saragoza, you are grounded for a week."
THIS MAN IS CRAZY! How dare he ground me?
"Hey! I am not your property! Also, I need to work! My mom's bills need to be paid!" I screamed at him while he was wearing his suit, preparing to go to work.
"You are staying in my condo, Myrtle. That makes you my property. So, don't you dare go out unless I told you so," he said and winked at me.
IS HE TEASING ME?
"By the way, your mom's bills at the hospital are paid," he added and went out.
That left me in shock. So, did he pay for my mom's hospital bills?<
[ Myrtle's Point of View ]"Hey, Myrtle, you okay?"I turned to Kristina as I was washing the dishes in the cafe."Yeah," I replied."You seem to be thinking of something. Is your mother alright?" she asked again, and I nodded. I just nodded because I really don't know mom's condition right now.Actually, I was thinking about Sean. He really looked so concerned or something along those lines.If he really does have feelings for me, why? I mean, he barely even knows me.Geez, Myrtle, stop thinking about him."What did you and Yohan do yesterd
/Myrtle's Point of View/We rushed to the hospital as soon as Sean told me about mom. The hospital said that a nerve in her brain punctured, and that's very dangerous."Drive faster!" I screamed at Sean as he was also panicking. I couldn't help but yell at him because I was very worried."Oh, heavens, please let my mom live," I whispered underneath my breath.It was already 11 pm when we arrived at the hospital. As I rushed to my mom's room, she was being operated on."Miss, we have to do the operation to prevent the worst-case scenario. We will surely update you once the operation ends," a nurse said to me.I cried the whole night while think
/ Myrtle's Point of View /"You don't have to pay for anything. Just be my wife."And there he goes again. Every time he says that, it makes me mad but flustered at the same time.I punched his chest and went away. I can't believe him. I'm in a middle of a dilemma, and he still has the guts to tell me that.I was about to march away when he suddenly grabbed my hand."Please, Myrtle," he begged like a puppy.I pulled my hand from him and glared nonchalantly. "I don't want to talk about it, Sean. I have a lot of dreams and ambitions. Marriage is not part of it. I'm sorry," I said and ran away.All
/ Myrtle's Point of View /"Could you stop being such a brat?!" I yelled at Sean while he was driving our way to the province. He was teasing me while I was literally overthinking about my family."What are you so scared about? It's not like you're too young to get married. I am twenty, and you are nineteen. After all, this marriage is just a deal, right?""I know, but I couldn't help but think of my family's reaction. They will definitely get mad at me," I spoke like a literal child."I'm here with you, Myrtle. Don't worry about it," Sean assured me. I don't know, but I feel comforted every time he tells me not to worry about anything. His words are like coffee that soothes my soul."The we
/Myrtle's Point of View/ We spent the night in our tiny abode. I wonder if Sean even slept well because I know he is not used to this setting. He slept on the wooden bench while my siblings, Papa, and I snuggled in the bed. The roosters' cock-a-doodle-doos woke me up. "Good morning, papa," I greeted Papa while brewing coffee. The aroma smelled so lovely. "Good morning, Myrtle," Papa said back. I glanced at my siblings, who were still cutely sleeping while their legs were tangled up with each other. I also glanced at Sean, but he was not at the bench. "Where's Sean?" I asked Papa. "Oh, he
/Myrtle's Point of View/And we're back at the city.My family came with us since they were invited to my wedding anyway.I wonder what Sean's parents' reaction be. Are they also lovely people?Sean said my family and his family are very different, but I believe they're still good people."Let's go buy the rings today," Sean muttered while looking at himself at the mirror, putting on his brown trench coat.Oh, yeah. I realized he didn't even propose to me.He proposed but not in the usual way where the man will kneel down and suddenly pull a ring from his pocket in front of the lady he loves.
/Myrtle's Point of View/Today is the day.A day that most people await.Today is my wedding.Bells, bells, bells.Flowers and roses everywhere.As I stepped inside the venue, all eyes were on me, as if they were really anticipating the bride of the billionaire.The place was just so magnificent. The decorations were full of white cloth and gold ornaments everywhere! Even if I expected something like this, I'm still surprised.Even if this wedding is so elegant, I don't feel love.I didn't feel anyt
/Myrtle's Point of View/Where am I?Did I pass out?I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the area.I'm inside a clinic and still wearing my wedding gown.What happened?A nurse came in, and I immediately asked her what was happening. She told me I had lost consciousness in the bathroom, and Sean brought me here.I messed up again.I can't believe the wedding was ruined because of me."Myrtle." Sean walked towards me and immediately hugged me. "Are you okay?" he asked.
