I just sat quietly next to Byron while a few of the people here talked. I heard nothing but questions about me. Sometimes I answer when the question is right but when I'm not comfortable, I just keep quiet. I simply looked at Byron's hand that was still on my waist, what was happening to him? Is this person really like that when in front of a lot of people I am treated well and when I am not, I feel like I wind up with him again or maybe other people he doesn't know. I’m confused with him actually."Amanda." I turned to Kristine. Their cousin. "My last question to you." She stopped again and we were all waiting for what she would say, I was suddenly nervous. "Do you love Byron?" Everyone was silent and I, was unable to react immediately.I slowly looked at Byron who was now looking at me as well. With our faces so close, I felt weird. My heart beats faster because of his eyes looking at me. I don’t understand why and what that is but one thing I’m sure of now, is I’m dead later. From
Last day of preparation but he was still gone. The only ones I always have with me are his mother and his other cousins. It's good that I don't have a hard time being with them, even though it's embarrassing to act like they're there. I also have nothing to answer every time I am asked what is for the groom, only Byron’s mom answers because she is the one who knows.My gown had arrived as well and as I looked now in front of me. I cried, I didn't ask for it but gave it at the wrong time. If only Marla and Mariz were here, would they be happy that I was getting married? How are they doing? Will they come to my wedding?I was stopped when there was a knock on the door, I immediately opened it and Manang's face opened up to me."Yes?""Sir Byron is downstairs, looking for you." My forehead furrowed, I no longer just spoke and followed her. What else does he need?When we got to the living room, I was shocked someone called me and I couldn’t stop crying. I immediately ran to my two sister
I took a deep breath as I watched Byron's back go inside again. I didn't expect him to know me because he didn't exist at first. All he wanted was to marry a woman and have a child so that he could get their parent's wealth. Every day that is imprinted on my mind. On a daily basis as I repeatedly think about what my role really is in this world, I am shaken. It's tiring.It's only been a few days and everyone is really ready for the wedding except me. For a few days I really thought about backing out of here but I couldn't. I think my family if I leave the agreement, I promised something I didn’t want and I should keep you.Until our wedding day came, I felt nothing but nervousness and even more anxiety. What if Byron himself didn’t go? Will the agreement be lost but what about my family?"Sister, you're beautiful." I looked at Marla when she appeared at my back. She and Mariz are with me here in the dressing room."But it's better if you smile," Mariz seconded so I smiled slowly.Ear
I pulled away from him, backing away slightly. The two of us just stared at each other as if waiting for the next thing to say. I have nothing to say because I know that too. Why does he always make me look like I'm just not with him?I turned to the people as they all applauded, I looked at my two sisters who were now crying and at my parents who also averted their eyes. Are they happy because their debt has been paid? But why do I feel that this is not the only thing that will happen to me, the huge debt to Mama and I know that marriage is not enough to make it happen.In the evening, everyone went to the reception and I did nothing but watch the people having fun as if I was not part of it and I was not one of the reasons why they were here. My family also went to sleep because they were tired so here I am now, alone."Hey." I immediately turned around when someone stood beside me, it was Paul. "Are you okay?"I wondered why he came to me now, wouldn't he be with people. "Hello, ar
After the week Amanda and Byron were married, Amanda woke up from the soft bed and she saw the surroundings. She is in Byron's room, it will be her room too because they are completely married. Amanda sighed and got up, she still couldn't admit to herself that she was married to someone she didn't like. Amanda's family has also returned to their home. Now that she was alone with Byron and Byron's family, she needed to settle down. She thought that if the days came when his family would oppress her, she would not allow herself to be oppressed.After she got dressed, she went out and she found the whole house quiet as if it had not passed the party last week. Amanda turned to the helper who passed by and she called to ask where the people were.“Ma’am, they went to the office early. Sir Byron also tells you that you also need to get dressed and he will pick you up after lunch,” The helper replied. Amanda frowned, wondering what the helper was saying."Did he say where are we going?" Th
Amana had a difficult start to her day in Byron's company as a secretary. Byron's former secretary taught her but she still couldn't understand the other things as a secretary. Her constant question was why it was so hard to work for Byron. She's not really starting to be with Byron as her boss but she wants to stop right away. “You can do that, Ma’am. Maybe he won't scold you because you're his wife? ” Byron's former secretary asked vaguely.Amanda looked at her when she heard that. All the employees at the company knew that Byron's wife was Amanda, so when Amanda came to the company, they were confused and surprised to learn that Byron's new secretary was his wife Amanda. She no longer answered Byron's secretary and just looked at what was teached at her. She wasn't sure if Byron wouldn't scold her when she made a mistake, not because she was Byron's wife he was an exemption from Byron's wrath. People don’t know why they get married and what their relationship is. She will only do t
Amanda swallowed once while still looking at Byron, still not losing her astonishment at what Byron was asking and saying. Who would not? Byron will show her how much he hates her and after a minute, Byron will suddenly say something that made Amanda surprised. Like now, Byron says he doesn’t want to see Amanda talking to or with another man. Any woman would be confused by the displays of mixed signals from men.“It's true, I can't understand you and I don't seem to understand you anymore. Maybe it's better if you just talk to me the way you talked to me before. Stop giving me mixed signals, Byron because I can easily fail. ” Byron couldn't speak immediately when Amanda suddenly came out of the office, leaving him confused as well."What did I say?" Byron asked himself. He sighed and looked at the ointment cream he was holding,she didn't give it to Amanda so he did nothing but throw it on the floor.He was about to sit down again when he immediately turned around because the door sudd
The arrogant and always grumpy Byron was the only one who could just now stare at Amanda. She herself talks to the waiter of a small canteen. Byron, on the other hand, had a bad trip earlier because he was getting hot in his place. Only electric fan is the air inside. Byron was even surprised when Amanda took him to a crowded restaurant."First and foremost, why are we here?" Byron asked stiffly but weakly. When Amanda finished talking to the waiter, she turned to Byron with a smile on her face."It's delicious here and also, it's cheap—"“I can pay even if it's expensive, we should go to the real restaurant. Not here. ” Byron was about to stand up but Amanda immediately touched him, he looked at his hand which he immediately removed. "Don't touch me," he added.“Sit down first. Also, what do you think of it, the foods are fake. The food here is tastier than in the expensive restaurant. And anyway, I told you. I am your wife so I will be the one to follow. It's not like I'm afraid of
