Gwen woke up early in the morning because of loud ringing outside her door. Today is yet another Saturday.
Her doorbell kept on ringing, so she stormed out of her room and opened it. Surprisingly, she saw her mother along with her little brother. Her mom was smiling in all ears before hugging her so tightly. Her little brother on the other hand jumped at her and showed her his loosed tooth.
Gwen frowned and let them in. "What are you guys doing in here? it's only Saturday," she said and placed her brother on a single chair. And she must meet up with Evander later to plan out their first encounter as a fake couple.
"Your brother wants you to accompany him to the doctor, you saw his tooth, right?" her mom said and pinched Gunner's cheeks.
Gwendolyn sighed and nodded, surely this will not take long right? She will just accompany Gunner and then meet up with that rock. She changed clothes and said goodbye to her mom as they go down the elevator.
She has been living alone for the past two years after going back from England. Her father wanted her to study the ropes around their empire, but she just does not fit in all that. She wanted to live free. But her dad being as commanding as he is, He did approve but with conditions.
She does not really know what yet, but she is sure he will be coming for her eventually.
Gwendolyn glanced at her brother and smiled." Shall we go young master? " she said and grinned mischievously. Her brother nodded and pulled her out of the building and entered their family car.
Gunner has his own personal doctor, and he particularly knows where his office is. And usually he goes here with Mr. Paul, His personal bodyguard. So, she does not really know what Gunner do there aside from a checkup.
Gunner stopped in the last aisle, there was only one door, so Gwen thought that is supposed to be where they are going. Gwen checked the name on the door — 'Dr. Mark Evander Vasquez' it is not the same man she knows right? This might just be someone with the EXACT same name.
Gwen was still lost in her thoughts when she noticed Gunner was already going inside and talking with his doctor. She excused herself and sat on the visitor's chair, but the moment their eyes met she froze on her seat.
Damn she knew it! Why did she even doubt? Gwendolyn looked at her peripheral vision and saw Evander still staring at her. She eyed him saying that he should keep his mouth shut about the agreement right in front of her brother.
But the latter did not change his expression and just ignored her like she is a piece of dust. Gwen scoffed and faked a laugh before giving Evander a glare.
"Doctor, do you like my sister?" her clueless little brother snorted suddenly after noticing how his doctor is staring at his sister.
Gwen almost exploded in embarrassment. She abruptly looked at her little brother and faked a smile, but that did not happen because she saw how this man's expression who is always blank is showing yet again another strange reaction.
Evander looked so flustered, or shock? His ears are red again as well. What the hell is he thinking right now? Why isn't he clearing up the misunderstanding? wait—
"You," she suddenly blurted out.
His eyes diverted at her, Evander's expression was still the same and it seems like his ears are getting redder and redder every minute.
"Are you sick? why are you so red?" she said and placed her hand on his forehead. But as if she has some sort of virus, Evander suddenly moved away as far as possible.
What is his problem? She is just checking whether he has a fever or not. And why move so far? Gwendolyn scanned his whole body to look for anything disturbing him, and her eyes landed on his crotch. Her eyes widen, out of embarrassment she looked away.
"G-Gunner I think it's best if I wait outside, you go talk to your doctor about that loose tooth you have," she said and stormed out of the room without shooting a single glance at Evander.
The moment she was out she grabbed a handful of her hair and breathed out. What she saw earlier, it is what she thinks it is right? And why would she have to meet him like this?) She knew Evander was a doctor, but she did not know he was her brother's personal doctor!
The universe sure is giving them every chance it gets to make them keep on meeting unexpectedly like this. Gwendolyn sat outside frustrated, meanwhile back inside –
Evander was calming himself as well as his hard boner below, he did not know how and why but the moment he saw Zosia in regular clothes, his shaft instantly got hard. When he finally cooled off, he glanced at the kid who is still looking at him.
He has been his patient ever since, but he did not know she was his sister.
"I was right, aren't I?" the child suddenly blurted out.
He looked at him blankly and said no response like he always does. The kid just shrugged and slid himself closer to the table.
"But I'll tell you this doctor, if you want to date my sister you have to go through me," the kid said and raised his eyebrow at him.
Evander pulled his drawer and fished out a bag of treats. "Would this do?" the kid's eyes shone and grabbed the sweets and gave him a thumbs up.
But he pulled away the packet before he could even open it. "But since you have a tooth problem, sweets are banned till they're better." he said with a smirk.
"B-But."The kid tried to reach out, but he said no.
"Doctor's orders. Eat them when you are better, I will even bring you more if you listen," he said and patted his head.
Gunner thought about it a bit and gradually nodded afterwards. After that they continued with the usual checkup.
After waiting for a while, Gunner came out with a sticker on his hand." Gwen, my doctor wants to talk to you about something," her brother said and went back to the car on his own.
Gwendolyn's heart raced at that thought, why is Evander looking for her? Gwen calmed herself and told it was nothing. She entered his office one again and felt his burning gaze piercing behind her head.
She unintentionally gulped and sat rather slow next to him at his mini lounge. Gwen could not make herself look at him, just by the thought of that gives her a tingling feeling.
"Coffee?" his raspy and low rumbling voice reverberate in her head.
Gwendolyn looked at him with a surprised expression but the moment she saw his smirking face, which was more than enough for her to lose her mind. How can a gorgeous man get sexy in a split second?
She was left in awe and did not knew what to do aside from admiring his smirking face. She woke up from her senses when she felt his hands cupping her face like how she did to him earlier.
"You, okay?" he asked. Gwendolyn blinked plenty of times and then realized their position. She backed out a bit and fixed herself, she smiled awkwardly and then looked away.
(What the hell Gwendolyn Zosia! You are an embarrassment!) she thought to herself as she beat herself up when he heard him speak once again.
"Number," he said while handing her his phone as he looks at the other side. She looked at him confused and saw his ear beet red again. Nevertheless, Gwendolyn grabbed the phone and entered their household number, maybe he is asking contact information for his brother Gunner.
After that, Evander stared at his phone for a while and then suddenly looked at Gwen with a determined face. His expressions surely surprise Gwen every time.
"Lunch?" he asked as he offered his hand like a prince who just got down on his majestic horse.
Is he asking her to have lunch with him? Is it a date? (Darn Gwen stop assuming things! Of course, it is for the fake relationship you are playing,) she argued at the back of her mind. It is just a friendly gesture anyone could ask for a meal if you know the person. So, she nodded and said, sure why not?
On the way out of the hospital Gwen noticed how every other staff pay their respects to the man beside her. Is he some sort of important person in here?
Her brother has already left without her, so she is literally stuck with mister doctor here.
Evander opened a seat for her and drove to the nearest restaurant which was a five-star hotel. Gwen was already ready to back out considering the price of meals there, but Evander kept going in like he owns the place.
They took a detour and stopped at a mini clothing store. What are they doing here? He picked out a pair of clothes and other accessories as well.
"I'll take everything but these." He said and pulled out his shining shimmering black card. Ugh it is blinding her, just who the heck is this man?
After packing all what he ordered Evander looked at her and pointed to all the paper bags. "For you," he said like he just bought a piece of candy.
"W-What? I do not need all of these!" she hysterically said. Gwen was losing her mind because of how expensive it all was.
Evander cocked his head. "Do you not like it? Should I buy at another store?" he asked like he would really do that if she does not say anything.
He is going to buy more. Damn it! "N-No need! I like them. Should we go? I am starving," Gwendolyn said and pulled him out from there before he even considers buying this building as well.
Considering all what Evander paid she is now sure he is no ordinary man, and she does not think he is just a random doctor either. She needs to figure this out herself.
But before they could actually get out, they were greeted by several flashes of cameras. Evander quickly used his body to shield Gwendolyn from the reporters.
(What the hell is this? Why are there reporters here? And how am I involved in these?) Gwen thought to herself.
"Is it true that you're together because your companies are merging?" one of the reporters asked.
"How did you two met?" another one added.
"Are we expecting a wedding from Vasquez and Lopez?" And their questions went so on.
Gwendolyn's eyes stung because of the flashes, the synchronized chatters from reporters are also beginning to irritate her ears.
After a couple of seconds, security guards arrived to help them escape the swarm of reporters following them. Evander was hiding her all the way out, protecting her from being caught in the camera. Gwen was only able to breathe properly after they finally got inside the car.
Gwendolyn heaved a sigh and glanced at Evander who is sitting beside her. "Care to explain to me about what just happened? How did they know me? Who are you really? You are not just a doctor, right? Crap! I think I will lose my head with all these shocking news," she said and rested her head.
Gwendolyn heard Evander sighed. "Your right, I am not just a doctor. I am Mark Evander Vasquez; I own almost all the hospitals here including ten more to other countries outside the continent." Gwendolyn was left in awe, how could she, A person who just wants to live normal be tangled with a billionaire whose known all throughout the country?
" Actually, he's one of the most sought eligible bachelors, but since he doesn't want the entire world to know that he didn't tell you,” A man from the back of the car suddenly said.
Evander rolled his eyes when he saw who it was. "Azul Vermillion at your service my lady. I am the one who just saved your asses from those cunning reporters. You're welcome by the way." Gwen accepted his hand and shake it with a fake smile.
How did she end up with these Billionaire's?
The ride did not take too long, they arrived in a very lavish subdivision. She saw Eleanor’s house across the street they had just stopped at. Evander guided her inside; these billionaires did not even knock on the door and just barged in. Tsk perks of being rich.She could already hear chattering and laughter from the doorstep. They continued walking until they reached the back yard. Gwen saw nine strikingly handsome men along with three ladies with them. There were also kids running around the park. When Eleanor saw her, she quickly ran to Gwen’s place and checked if she was okay." Are you okay? How did they know you were both there? "She asked continuously.Gwen sighed and massaged her temples. "Don’t start, Eleanor, I don't even know. Do you have water? My head is splitting, " she said and walked along with Eleanor.After she drank water, she sat down and rested her head on Eleanor’s shoulder. "This is Adrianna and Evergrace and that’s Callista, Clyde’s acquaintance, " Eleanor sa
After Gwendolyn’s stunt, Mr. Vasquez, Evander’s father clasps his hands and smiled. "I guess there’s no need to force both of you in marriage. Gregorio and I have been talking about this from a long time and I am very much thankful that I will not have to do anything bad to my children since you both agreed to marry, " he said and smiled again.Gwendolyn’s mind was in full chaos, so this was what her dad was aiming for. This is why he was so happy, so he could use her as another investment for his business. What was she thinking? That her father may have been worried about her? Damn he only knows about wealth and fame. Gwendolyn smiled bitterly and scoffed behind her head.After the dinner Gwendolyn went home with Evander. No one dared to talk, both was waiting for the other to mention about what happened earlier. But Evander was the first to break the ice."What happened back there? You knew about what was going to happen? " He asked quite pissed. Of course, he would be, he was not i
Gwendolyn was lost in thoughts; she didn’t know how she will handle this situation. With all the stress of seeing her mother and sister and now this. She massaged her temples, grabbed Evander’s hand, and dragged him out from there. They walked until she could no longer feel her feet. When she looked around, she saw herself standing in a children’s playground near a big park. She let out a sigh and glanced at Evander, who had not said a word since then. Her eyes widened when she saw Renji instead of Evander with her. Did she grab the wrong hand? She was sure everyone had seen them walking out together. What would the Vasquez’s think after they saw that? And mom, she’ll be disappointed again. Gwendolyn was panicking inside her head when Renji suddenly cupped her face and told her to calm down. “I already informed everyone about what happened, you don’t need to be worried, okay? Calm down,” Renji said as he caressed her cheeks. And Gwendolyn didn’t know, but all the stress she had been
Gwendolyn woke up next morning with her whole body aching. She roamed her eyes around the room and saw the space beside her clean. She wondered where Evander was but there was no single trace of him. She also saw her clothes on the bedside, which looked like they were already washed and ironed neatly. Gwendolyn took a bath despite the pain in her lower part, she found breakfast on the kitchen table and a note saying that she should reheat it before she eats it. After eating, she found herself roaming around Evander’s pad, everything looked neat and organized, it was so like him. ‘Evander must be in his hospital, considering the schedules of doctors, he must have a lot on his plate. I should distance myself for the time being,’ Gwen thought to herself.As soon as she made sure everything was in the right place, she left the house and drove off to work. She stopped over at a boutique before going to her office. She might have been fooling around these past few days, but she does have a
Gwendolyn was busy tasting food; she should be there with Evander, but knowing their fathers, she was sure they hadn’t told him about this again. She glanced at Renji who was busy talking to the manager. Gwen sighed and continued with her work when the door suddenly barged open, revealing a furious Evander. ‘What is he doing here? How did he know I was here?’ Gwen thought.Evander looked at her, then to Renji’s location. She looked at him confused and was about to ask when his friends suddenly appeared behind him and pulled him out of the store. ‘Okay? What was that? It’s weird,’ Gwendolyn thought. When they returned, Evander was looking at her calmly now unlike earlier. Gwendolyn lost the chance to speak once again when Evander dragged her out and pushed her inside his car. She was confused about this sudden turn of events, and she saw Renji being dragged away by Evander’s friends as well.Gwen diverted her gaze at Evander, who was currently busy buckling his seatbelt. “What is the m
Evander took her back to his pad. After she said she'd give him space because she thinks he’s too busy because of his profession, here she is again, back to his place. But Gwendolyn felt relaxed after she dropped herself on the couch. She heard Evander going to the kitchen, so she made herself feel at home and went to his room to have a quick shower.Gwendolyn forgot she wasn’t on her own pad, so she had no choice but to borrow one of Evander’s clothes again. She’ll just wash it later. After taking a bath, she decided to check out what Evander was doing. She found him cooking something delicious. “What cha cooking doc?,” she said while leaning over the door. Evander glanced at her briefly before giving her a smile.“Our lunch, Milady. Now would you be kind enough and wait for this humble servant in the living room? Make yourself at home, master’s orders,” he said and winked afterwards.. Gwendolyn chuckled and saluted as a response. She walked back to where she was earlier and opened t
Evander and Genus are estimating each other’s scrutiny. It’s like their battling with their eyes. Gwen could only sigh and control her anger, but she could not just let this slide again. This scene has been happening for every man she meets, and every single time Evander butts in like he’s really her lover, which he is not.Gwendolyn’s famous poker face surfaced and Genus, who knew what it meant, suddenly averted his gaze so he could avoid this woman’s wrath. Evander found himself clueless as to why the man in front of him withdrew like an obedient little mutt. But when he felt a murderous stare beside him, he felt like all his strength left his body when he saw how furious his Zosia was right now. For him who experienced it firsthand, he could not help but to concede and lower his head.Gwendolyn closed her eyes and calmed herself down before looking at Evander, then to Genus. “I hope I made myself clear Evander, Genus,” Gwen massaged her temple then averted her gaze at Evander. “You
Gwen opened her eyes in a new room. She began by noticing her puffy eyes and the dried tears on her cheeks. She instantly realized why she had been crying. Gwen clinched her fists and made an effort to block off the memory of what had transpired that evening."I'm in love with Evander Vasquez," she said. Why would my heart throb for that man—who I shouldn't have liked in the first place—of all men? Why? Gwen pondered to herself.After that, Gwen wasn't sure what she would do. Last night, she heard a gunshot but chose to ignore it until Eleanor ran over to her carrying a sniper on her shoulder. She claimed that after hearing the news from her older brother, she shot Evander on her own because she was so furious. Attorney Radleigh, her husband, claimed that he attempted to stop her but was powerless to stop her if she was too enraged.After being married, Eleanor leaves the chaotic world behind, and Gwen is grateful to have a friend like her who would even shoot someone just because she
