Chapter Seven: Threatening
"Storm, are you sure Diane Romero was really with me that night?" Treyton asked his bodyguard, Storm.The bodyguard thought for a moment. He did not expect his boss's sudden interest in what he had been with the night they went to the Enchanted Bar. Most of the time, he only delivers the woman he shared the bed with and at the same time gives a large amount of money in exchange for not showing it anymore.He didn't care why his boss always have women in bed, because for him that was normal for a rich man. Storm shook his head secretly and looked at the papers on her boss's desk. There is the information he gathered about the Romero brothers."Y—Yes, I asked her that night. And also based on the information I gathered, Ms. Daphne does not like to go to that kind of places, she is too conservative and workaholic." Storm responded.Treyton looked at the papers on the table again. He couldn't understand why nothing seemed to be new every time he saw Diane, but her sister Daphne was strange. He also cannot admit about his illness if he confronts them."Hey, what do you want, Buddy?"They looked at Claude who had just arrived. This is his best friend since they were in elementary school. He is known as a good lawyer but is also undeniably a womanizer.Treyton signals to Storm's bodyguard that he can come out. Storm immediately got what he meant so he bowed and then left the office. When he turned away from the door, he shook his head. He wasn't really sure which of the two brothers he had given the VIP ID to, because they looked alike. But all the information matches to Diane Romero.Treyton arranged the papers and laid them neatly in front of his friend. Claude frowned when he looked at it. He seems to be inspecting every piece of information and photo."Who's that beautiful girls? New toys?" Claude ffgvb aasked."Not a toys, but I need your help," Treyton pointed to one of the photos. "This is Daphne Romero, my fiancé—""Woah! Woah! Woah! Your fiancé? Really? Nah. Are you kidding me?"Treyton's poker face. "Do I look like joking or what? Look, Buddy, this is real. I'm getting married, and I need your help to make another contract.""Another contract? What do you mean?""My marriage is just arrange marriage, and I want to do a contract about me and my Father's deal once I get married to this woman." pointing to Daphne's photo again."Oh, okay? Just tell me what you want. And what about this other girl?" Claude took another photo with a smile. "Don't tell me, they are both going to marry you?""No. That girl... You'll take care of her. I would like to have someone else work for me, but I remembered that I have a friend who is a stickler for girls, and itʼs you.""That's great! What do you want to know?""If she's... the one who slept with me last last night, and please no sex as much as possible."Because he didn't know which of the two sisters he was with that night.“Okay, but I canʼt promise!”>>>.<<<"Doctor Romero, there is a man waiting for you in the lobby." said one of the nurses.Daphne frowned. She doesn't remember any friends to visit today. She also could not remember which other man could visit her."Who is it?""He didn't introduce himself, but he is handsome and had a great body build!" nurse said excitedly in front of her the she left.Handsome and had a great body build? She gasped as a perfect male face registered in her mind. It can't be that man waiting for her. She doesn't want a scandal and she doesn't want her work to affect her personal life.She hurriedly went to the lobby and there she saw the man she had in mind. Her back was leaning against the wall while staring and not taking his eyes off her. At that time, she felt like she was going to explode with annoyance."What are you doing here?" she asked softly but mixed with annoyance as she looked around, checking to see if anyone else could see."I'm here to see my wife's work place. Is that bad? Is it not possible?" Treyton said angrily."Don't call me wife because we're not married yet. Besides, I'm not giving my permission for you to visit me.""That's where we're going, I'll still be your husband," Treyton looked around the facilities. "Nice work place, huh? Do they know you're getting married? You want me to make the announcement?"Daphne felt an intense anger because of his behavior."Please, don't make a mess here. They're not even invited. And don't be so sure that I will marry you!""Oh, is that what you want?" Treyton brushed away a strand of Daphne's hair that was covering her cheek. But you also shook it off quickly. "You know what Doctor Romero? Mr. Casteñola, the Head Director of this hospital is my Godfather."Daphne suddenly felt scared. Is this what her Mama is saying that he can destroy the job she is keeping? Now she could clearly see the desperation in Treyton's eyes."I can sue you, Doctora Romero. And maybe you're forgetting? Once you don't agree to the marriage, the entire Dream Builders will go to us, and your Papa's name? Phew. It will disappear like a bubble.""N—No. . .""Yes, once you don't agree."Daphne wanted to yell at Treyton. Her anger grew stronger at this. She didn't think he was this kind of person. It's a far from the man she spent one night with. Far from the man who carefully claimed and hugged her."Excuse me? Doctor Romero?"Suddenly the two looked at the man who had just arrived. When Daphne saw who it was she immediately straightened herself up. It's Doctor Cabrera, her suitor. Of all the days they'd been seeing each other, today was the most thankful because she could finally be free of Treyton.Treyton's vision quickly darkened. He could clearly see how the Doctor looked at Daphne who had just arrived. He didn't like the way he looked with lust."Your new patient?" he asked."Huh?" Daphne stuttered in reply then looked at Treyton who now looked angry. "Oh--""No, I'm her fiancé, and you are?" Treyton responded gruffly.Daphne looked at Treyton and Doctor Cabrera in shock. Daphne did not expect a direct response. It really won't miss humiliating her.The male Doctor grinned at what he heard."Are you her fiancé? No, it can't be, because she hasn't mentioned anything to us. And do you know that I've been courting her for almost two years and she still doesn't answer me. What about you?" The Doctor looked Treyton over from head to toe. He can't deny that he is handsome and strong, but he will not defeat him. "Suddenly appear and will say her fiance?"Treyton's smirked. He wanted to punch the Doctor. "Then, ask her," Treyton looked darkly at Daphne.Daphne didn't want to make the trouble worse. She felt that her tears would fall in just a few minutes. She did not expect that in an instant her status in the hospital could be destroyed. She was no match for Treyton.She bowed slightly. "True. He is my fiancé. I'm going back inside." Daphne walked away, and she didn't wait for the two to speak any more. She didn't go to the Doctor's quarters, she go straight to the restroom. Her hands were shaking as she looked in the mirror.A few seconds later she received a message."Good girl. You just don't want to get into trouble. Since now, you need to do what I want, if you want to protect your Papa's name, as well as the profession you are guarding."The tears that had been looming for a while fell completely. She needs to be strong. Not just one man will destroy her. After that bullsh*t marriage, she will make sure that her life will return to normal.Chapter Eight: Mysterious AttitudeOnly three days later Daphne was busy again visiting her patients. Fortunately, Doctor Cabrera did not spread the word about her upcoming marriage. After finishing her work, she received an unexpected call from her head Doctor."Hello, Doctor Romero. I don't know what you've done, but Director Casteñola wants to see you now."When she answered the phone call she did not know what the reason was. When Treyton's face registered in her mind, her hands got cold. She arranged herself nervously. And then forced to be normal. She left the Doctor's quarters with a smile on her face. She is ready to greet the people she meets with a fake smile.When she reached the Head Director's office, she did not hesitate to knock three times before speaking."Head Director?""Come in." when Daphne opened the door, the Head Director immediately looked up at her. "Oh, Doctor Romero! It's a good thing you don't have an emergency with your patients, and you allowed me to see
Chapter Nine: Hidden Agenda"It's good that you came here."Daphne looked at the woman who had just arrived. It's her Mom. As usual, she is still with her new husband."Just make up for what I did in the past.""You should, Daphne, because you're getting married in just a few days. And maybe you also want to get back at your sister? For lying just to get out of here?"Daphne smirked. "Until now, for you I'm still lying? Why didn't you ask her?""Do you think I didn't ask her?" her Mama replied annoyed but only in a low tone of voice."Oh, you asked here but of course she denied it, it's probably the ending that I'm the liar. Where is she now? I'm gonna talking to her myself.""S-She's not here, because she's busy with their upcoming exam."Daphne didn't say anything and just took a glass of wine from the waiter. She quickly put it down and hurried out of the mansion. She was sure that the mansion had a garden and she wanted to be alone, because she felt like she will going crazy if sh
Chapter Ten: Awakened BeastThe wedding went ahead that same day. Even against her heart and principles Daphne couldn't do anything. There is also a mansion ready for them. But Treyton just let her stay where she wanted to stay. That's why she stays in the guest room.Daphne can't sleep well every night because every night Treyton brings different women at home and noisily shares their body heat. She always lack of sleep when she comes to the hospital, she can't sleep because of their noise as if she is listening to their grunts and moans.Today she thought of not going out because she felt bad. She won't wonder why because besides staying up late, she's also tired from work. Here she got to know the maid who were with them better and Manang Sonya was one of them.Manang Sonya gives her whatever she needs. She also acted as her personal maid because she didn't want anyone else to enter her room. She is currently in the garden and breathing in the breeze. She noticed Treyton's car just
Chapter Eleven: The Reason Why"What did you do?! Answer me!"Daphne couldn't figure out why Treyton was so mad. He was very different from the normal Treyton she saw every day. Now it was as if he could afford to hurt her.She just shook his head in fear."N—Nothing. . . We didn't do anything.""Tsk. You think I'll believe it?!" Treyton's grip on her shoulder tightened.Tears gradually flowed from her eyes due to fear."You're just like cheaters! You're just like my Dad! And now, you should be punished!"Treyton dragged her upstairs. She almost screamed for help because of the fear she felt. Treyton was holding her hair, she couldn't fight anymore because she knew she would be hurt more. Her arms hit every gap between the handle on the stairs, the table and the door.She was surprised whe she directly brought him into his room and threw her on the bed. Daphne backed up to the end."T—Treyton... D—Don't act like you're a monster. . . I am s—sorry." she tearfully said when she saw her
Chapter Twelve: The Unexpected Surprise!"What's the news about your husband missing in action? There's still a surprise!?" Izzy yelled at Daphne as they ate in the cafeteria.She was tired."I don't want to talk about him. It makes me lose my appetite."Three months ago, no Treyton showed up and made her feel sad. She didn't know where it was, even his family couldn't tell her where is he. She still thought it was just a simple business trip and that her husband would return soon.Her husband? Did she really accept it? Oh, well. Maybe she would have accepted it if he came back and changed, but here it looks like she was just made to hope.It's like she's been waiting for him to come back, for the surprise he says. Until she got tired of waiting and lost interest in it. In fact, it is in her favor that he is not by her side because it seems that she is free again.It's just that his personal body guard always watches over her and followed her wherever she goes, just like now that they
Chapter Thirteen: Make Out On Airplane"He's really handsome, oh my gosh!""True! He's been there for a while now like heʼs waiting for someone!""Oh my gosh! I'm telling you whoever the girl is, she really blessed by God!"Those are just some of the whispers Daphne hears inside the Hospital. She just shook her head because most of them were nurses. Maybe they have seen someone handsome again so this is the headlines and they seem to be in love to that man."Bestfriend! I've been here for so long, waiting for you!" Izzy greeted with a growl.She was leaning against the wall near the door to the Doctor's Quarters. Boredom is obvious in appearance. She had just finished her rounds and didn't even notice the time. It's almost early in the afternoon but here they are just about to eat."Sorry, I forgot to check the time. Just let me get your drinks for free.""That's what I want from you! Hey, you can't take that away, huh?!"She just nodded while smiling then took the wallet from inside
Chapter Fourteen: What I want?••• Daphne"Oh, Treyton! You're here!" the old man said smiling when he saw Treyton.Treyton quickly came to his grandfather and hugged him. I think they are very close because I just saw Treyton smiling. But I couldn't lose my annoyance because my sister Diane was also smiling next to him."Why didn't you go with your Mommy yesterday?" asked the old man.Treyton came closer to me and then rested on my hip. Just now he held me like this almost, as if he didn't want anyone else to have me. I rarely looked at them, especially at other people I didn't know."Grandpa, I can't because I can just leave my wife. By the way, everyone meet Daphne Romero Fuentevalle. She's a Doctor and she's saving lives everyday and yesterday both of us have a hectic schedule. That's why we didn't go here yet." Treyton replied.His grandfather looked at me. I could clearly see the disappointment on his face and he faked a smile then looked away from me and looked back at Treyton.
Chapter Fifteen: Always Wrong••• DaphneWhat's with his look? It's scary.I looked at it a few times then bowed. It's like he's angry again. And I'm sure that's because of Theo again."Grandpa, let's go swimming!" shouted the young Hunter."Yes, we will go to the Island! You seem really excited, ah!" Lolo laughed and said.Island? Swimming? Oh, no. I can't swim."I'm excited too, Grandpa," Diane pretended to say.Did they know that she is my sister? Did they also know it was one of Treyton's girls? Unbelievable."Since we're done, let's go to the resort," Havoc said.They did their own actions and went back to their rooms to get the things. I was just sitting on the sofa. I don't want to come. I won't enjoy it either. Should I just say I have a fever?"Why aren't you packing your things?" Treyton said as soon as he entered the room."Ah, because-- can you just not come?"It looked at me for a moment, then shook its head."No way, Grandpa will be angry.""I-I can't swim, so I might no
