Elaine's Point of ViewThe bag slipped from my hands when I saw a woman lying in the pool. It's like the woman was drowned by a person. I can't stop shaking while going down to confirm who the woman was, but when I saw her, she looked like she just lost her consciousness.For me, It's not a big deal, but Louis will get mad when he sees who it is.Because it's Mariella, the woman that he loves the most.It's been two weeks since Louis brought her into the mansion and every time that they were here, I felt like I'm just a bubble.I let out a sigh when I realized that it's also been a year since I signed the contract as proof that being his fake wife will be the payment of my father's debt to him. The contract will last until he gets an heir from me so he could get his inheritance from his father. And besides, he married me because he doesn't have any choice. It's his parents' order, not because he loves me.“Mariella, wake up
Third Person Point of View“Shit, why now that we're almost near? Wait a sec, Boss Montemayor,” Brennon said as he quickly got out to check the car, but Louis Montemayor hates waiting. Today is the only day that he would be available to scrutinize the person they captured who was stopping their business. The person was not admitting what he did yet, and it angered Louis more.Brennon scratched his head while looking at the car. He was Louis's assistant in the organization. He's a racer who can avoid bullets while driving. He opened the door, still scratching his head because he knew that Louis would be angry. “Bossing, I'm sorry. But we need to bring this car to the nearest repair shop to be fixed.”“Fuck, what do you want me to do, fix the car?” Louis angrily asked. Brennon got nervous and reached for his phone in the compartment and called Kaizer.“Fuck you, mate. You need to go to Shevereign Street. The car needs fixing!” he shouted on the phone. Louis loo
Elaine's Point of View“Leave my apartment, you worthless people! You guys are a burden! You need to pay for the rent today, not tomorrow!” Mang Pedro angrily shouted at us. The truth is, we don't have enough money to pay for the rent. My father only works as a tricycle driver because he was laid off from his previous job.They told me that we had a good life when they're still working for the Montemayors. But unfortunately, they were replaced by workers from France, the reason why they have a ton of debt to the Montemayors. When my mother died, my father changed and spent his money aimlessly. The only thing that was left in me was this necklace my mom gave me.“Mang Pedro, can you give us another chance? We're going to pay today, please,” I pleaded while kneeling. I will find a job that will pay me even if it's little. My father's salary is not enough for both of us. It's a relief that I'm a scholar, but in return, I had to study hard, get an extra curriculum. In
Elaine's Point of View“W...w-hat?” I asked, still confused. We're still looking at each other and I can say that he's so handsome. If another waitress were in my shoes, she will probably think that this man is an actor. I turned my gaze to the woman he was with. She was looking at me like she's gonna eat me alive.Did I say something wrong?“Baby, what are you saying?” the woman asked and held his hand that was on the table. Oh, she's his girlfriend. I thought she was his mother. Kidding.“Are you his girlfriend?” I asked. The woman looked at me and was about to stand when the man spoke.“Leave,” he authoritatively said while pointing at the exit of the restaurant.Does he want me gone?“Didn't you hear it? He said leave!” the woman shouted and held my shoulders. People went to us.“Perry, get out!” the man shouted. The woman with too much makeup on her face turned her head at him. And what did he say? Perry? Who's Perry?“What
Third Person's Point of View“Boss, please forgive us. We didn't know that she was your wife.”Louis didn't listen to them. Anger was covering his whole system. His father's instruction was to look out for Elaine because they wanted him to marry Elaine so he could get his inheritance. And that was not his only reason. There's something deeper than that.And besides, they ripped Elaine's shirt and kicked her. His patience was growing thin. He thought that the woman was not Elaine.He carried Elaine to his car while Brennon was looking at them. “Sir, she's the woman who—”He just told Brennon to leave the car and laid Elaine on the seat. He saw her pink brassiere that angered him more. He should be the only one who can see this. If he didn't come early, maybe Elaine, his soon-to-be wife, got raped by them.He removed his jacket and covered Elaine's body with it. Through the course of his life, this is the only tim
Elaine's Point of ViewI sighed when Montemayor still hadn't put me down no matter how hard I tried. Looks like I don't have a choice but to talk with Kaizer in front of him.“Kaizer, what are you doing here? How did you know I was here?” I asked because I don't know why he suddenly showed up here in Montemayor's mansion when I haven't called my father yet because I'm afraid he would panic.“Wife, how did you know him?” Montemayor asked with his brow tugging upwards.I don't like our position. He was holding my waist while I'm on his shoulder. And I'm facing Kaizer like a freaking snake.“I'm not your wife. And can you please put me down?” I said while moving my body again, but he changed my position. He's now carrying me like I'm his bride. What was he doing? Kaizer might think something!I tapped my forehead because of embarrassment, but Kaizer pulled my hand. “Elaine, we're going home. You want to
Third Person's Point of View“What do you need, asshole? You're ruining my dinner with my wife,” Louis said to Tyron, his cousin who owns a hospital. Aside from it, Tyron is an investigator.“Really, you have a wife now? As far as I remember, you hired me to find where Mariella was and now that I got the information, you're mad at me,” Tyron answered while in the garden. Louis didn't want Elaine to hear what Tyron was saying, especially that his father will visit him to talk about the wedding.“Where is she?” Louis asked. He wants to see Mariella. Because he only got some information now about Mariella after he broke up with her.“At my hospital. By the way, can I have your wife as the payment?" Tyro directly asked. But Louis showed his gun and pointed it at Tyron.“What did you say, fucker?” he asked, angry. He doesn't want anyone meddling with his belongings.“What? As far I know,
Third Person's Point of ViewElaine gasped and pushed Louis away. She doesn't know what to feel. “Get out, Louis,” Elaine said. She's still angry because of the name Louis had mentioned. She doesn't have the right to get angry because she doesn't have a position in his life. She was only a payment for her father's debt to the Montemayors.She also knew that the man who entered the room earlier and informed her that she shouldn't wait for Louis because he's with Mariella— doesn't like her as well.“Wife . . . I'm sorry, I know it's you,” Louis whispered. She could feel Louis' breaths on her neck. It gave her an unexplainable heat.“Louis, you're drunk. Get out!” she shouted, but the truth is, something's want to get out of her heart. Louis lowered himself to whisper in her ear.“Your scent is like a drug to me. When I smell it, I can't stop looking for you,” Louis said. Elaine doesn't know what t
