CHAPTER 15

Amethyst's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and a white ceiling was the first thing that I saw.

"Where am I? What happened? Am I in the hospital again? The bed is soft, huh, infairness." These were the questions that immediately entered my mind.

I can't really remember where I am.

I looked to my left but saw nothing next to me.

Wait, why is there so much space? Is this a big bed that I'm sleeping on?

I turned to my right and saw a man standing with his back to me, obviously folding his arms as he looked out of the glass window that was almost the size of the wall of the room.

"Oh yeah! I'm with Aivan now and we're here at the hotel of his friend!" This was the answer of my mind to my questions earlier.

I think he felt that I was awake so he shift his gaze to me. But after a while, he just looked outside again.


"You're awake," he said in a low tone.

“No, I'm not. I'm just sleep talking,” I whispered.

He lightly turn his gaze to mine.

"What?" I can see that his eyebrows met even though I can only see his side view.

What kind of ears does he have?

How strong is this jerk's hearing?

"I said, yes. I just woke up," I replied as I rolled my eyes. Dang it.

He turned in front of me and then put his hands behind his back.

He was topless and he was only wearing boxers that only reached half of his legs. And because his hands were placed behind him, his plump abs and big breasts were more highlighted.

Wait, what am I thinking?!

"Quit your job," he immediately said in a commanding tone.

"H-huh?" What he said was really deafening.

"Do I need to repeat myself?"

"Are you serious?" My forehead furrowed even more as my eyes looked at him in disbelief.

"Am I look like a clown?"
Oh wow, look at this dork, oh. I don't know what he's up to.

He's different! He's extreme!


"Excuse me, Mr. Just to let you know, it''s hard to find a job now," I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Resign immediately tomorrow," he coldly said. What the?!

"Just a reminder, okay? Our so-called deal is only two months and I also don't know why I agreed---" "

Because you know if you refuse, you and your family will die." He cut me off to what I was about to tell.

Other than being a brutal, he's also rude.

I just sighed.

I just love my family. No one can blame me. I will do everything to protect them and give them a nice life. I still want to step up and rise even though it looks like impossible. I even want to hear mama being called 'madam'.

"You're getting too much! I should still have personal space and you shouldn't have the right to my decisions!" I raise my voice.

"I have the right. You're fully mine or you're going to die. Choose." I just massaged my temple because of what he said!

We were consumed by silence for a while.

I am just thinking what else could I say.

Of course, my answer is I will choose to live about his question earlier.

"It's been one week since our deal. All right, if I leave my job tomorrow, after our so-called deal, I'll have a hard time finding a new job again?" I said emphatically.

"My friends and I are going on vacation at Tristen's townhouse." He just looked at me straight in the eye.

"Are you listening?!" I asked with my one eyebrow raised.

"Every each of us needs to bring woman for our good." The fudge?!


A group of a*sh*les!

How can I escape from him?! Well, if death is just the only way, then I'll still think other ways!

"Eh? Why don't you just look for someone from somewhere there duhhh, or you'll think of other way to have a girl with you. There are many other girls out there, but not me!" And I rolled my eyes.

"We'll stay there for a week," he continued.

"What?!" I asked in frustration.

He looked outside again by just tilting the side of his head. That's why I can still see his front body.

"If you quit your job and will agree to go with me, I'm going to give you fifteen thousand a day, and give you some additional when we do something else." My eyes widened for a moment because of what he said.

What he said made me think a little.

I was just staring at his perfect jawline and perfect body.

"What do you think?" He looked at me again and I got caught by the sea colored of his eyes that can make anyone drown!

"Are you paying me ?!" I just asked angrily.

"How many times do you want me to say that, I don't give you money because I'm buying you or what, maybe this time will be like yes but no. Consider this as help. Think about it." His foreign eyes glazed over at me.

I think for a moment.

If ever, that will be fifteen thousand a day, then one week. fifteen thousand multiply by sevenit will be...

One hundred five thousand pesos?!

Then there's the additional fee when we do something?

"What now? Just consider this then as your new work." I come back to reality from his speaking.

My family was the thing that pop up in my mind. Their smiles and relieves.

"Can we already leave tomorrow?" The fudge, self! Did I just really?!

Fortunately, he has no reaction.

"So, you are fine with it." He just turned his back on me and he looked outside again.


"I just don't have any choice," I replied.

We were swallowed up for a moment by a deafening silence but there was no awkwardness.

"Go back to sleep," he suddenly said.

"Wow, nice one, asking someone to sleep even though they just woke up," I said sarcastically.

"You think I will let you go home?" he questioned me while he's still looking outside.

"Why not?" I also asked him.

"It's already one am." He sighed.

I picked up my phone which was placed on top of the small table next to the bed so I can check the time.

I felt like I got awakened even more when I saw that it was already 1:12 in the morning. I'm not sure if our gate and door are still open but I have to go home. Because if it's still open, then someone may enter our house and do their thing!

"Take me home," I said to him.

He turned around to me.
"No," he said sternly.

"You should! I should get back home!"

"Go back to sleep,"

"Fine! If you don't want to take me, I'll go home by my own," I replied while removing my blanket but I also returned it immediately when I saw that I was still naked.

Oh, so is why I felt fresh a while ago?

"Turn around first! I'll get dressed!" I gave him a sharp look but he just smirked.

"No need, I've seen all of that before and surprisingly, they are not tiring to look at," he said to me with a smile.

A psycho! Terrible!

"Yet, as if we don't did something earlier," he added then sighed.

Is that right? Is that valid?

"Okay, Fine!" I bravely let go of the blanket that covered me and then picked up my clothes to get dressed... In front of him.

"Can't you see? It's already late, can't you just spend the night here?" he frowned as I feel cringed. Like: duhhh, as if he really cares.

"My mom might get worry if she wakes up and I'm not at home," I said while wearing my bra.

I looked for my shirt and found it on the floor that was now broken, which made me gasp.

"Lend me a shirt, you ripped off my shirt!" I pouted.

"Are you planning to destroy everything on me!" I added.

He didn't answer me, instead, he just put his hands behind his back again that's why his abs and chest got highlighted again and...

It looks like something is swelling in the middle, huh!

Traumatizing!

"No," his voice was still hard.

I just shrugged.

I wish I can win over him in any way. At least once!

"Fine, then I'm going home even though I'm just wearing a bra." I bravely turned my back on him.

I was only three steps away when I felt a hand on my arm.

I looked at him.

"You're a hard headed, huh?" he said while nodding.

"I still need to go in work tomorrow." I raised my eyebrows and said this with frustration.

He sighed in defeat.

Yes! I won!

"Fine. Wait a minute." He let go of my arm and then quickly put on his pants and shirt. He first took something from a cabinet.

"Here," he said while handing me a blue hoodie.


"Thanks." I immediately took it and put it on. It reaches up to my knees and its super baggy when it comes to me. And I like it. It looks good, comfy and cute!

"Let's go!" I smiled at him and I was the one who came out first from the unit.

Smile of victory!

How can I feel scared and secured at the same time while walking with him behind me?

We waited for the elevator to open and when it opened I was the first to enter, but it was he who pressed the button to the ground floor. He was just by my side as we boarded the elevator. We are both standing at the center. I can't feel any aura of him. He's good at hiding his emotions. I know that because I'm good at reading vibes and aura of the people! He looks like he doesn't care at anything.


We both just stared at the elevator door but I'm still trying to feel his emotion. But nothing really, nothing some or whatever.

It's like, I'm just with a stranger right now. And how I wish he would be indeed just a stranger to me.

As the door opens, the get out at the same time, no one was ahead and no one was behind.

As we exited the building, we were greeted by the cold wind so I put my hands in the pocket of the hoodie.

While heading to the parking lot, no one choose to talk and break the silence. We’re just doing our real goal and that is to get me home.

When we reached his car, he opened the door for me and I immediately went inside. A few moments later, he got inside and he immediately started the engine and then we left.

In just a few minutes of our trip I thought of opening the window. The cold wind is kissing my cheeks as I stare at the ambience of the city. I want to sleep but I don't trust Aivan. He'll may think of taking me back to the hotel if ever! I can't just totally trust him.


"Can you turn on the radio?" I said after a few moments. He just nodded and then turned on the radio.


The pre-chorus of Beyonce’s Halo greeted us.


-It's the risk that I'm taking
I 'ain't never gonna shut you out.

"Everywhere I'm looking now, I'm surrounded by your embrace," I sing along to the song.

I'm not in love but I do love queen B that's why I'm getting vibin' with her song. I just sing voice in a low voice but I know Aivan can still hear me.

Even though I was confident with my voice, I still chose to just look outside.

Dang it this destiny, because two more songs played next. And I can't stop myself but to sing along with 'Crazier' by Taylor Swift and 'Thinking of you' by Katy Perry.

Especially in Thinking Of You dang it! I relate to it a million percent! At the end of the song, we already reached our house.

I looked around first. It's for my safety too!

The lights in the car were also turned off so I think I was safe--- a little.

When I saw that no one was there, I breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, it's hard.

"Thanks for the ride." I turned to Aivan first before I opened the door of his car and then I got out.

"Amy," he called my name as I closed the door.

"Hmmm?" I looked at him and he did the same so we stared at each other.

"Good mornight, you do have an angelic voice. It felt like my ears just got blessed," he said while smirking.

I just shrugged my shoulders.

"I know but thanks anyway. Anyways, yeah, good mornight too." And I wave him good bye before I enter our house. Weird.

Wait, why it doesn't seem too painful now? I mean, yeah, I felt a pain but it wasn't that hurtful that's why I can still walk straight.

You know what I mean.
