Tatiana Kamerie
"Don't talk to me!" I pushed Eric away and took my luggage out from my apartment.
"Tatiana.. listen to-"
"Listen? Listen? You agreed about me marrying that bastard? Are you crazy?" I bursted angrily at him.
"Tatiana.. listen to me.. listen to me.." He grabbed both of my hands forcing me to listen to him. I pulled my hands away from him and took my luggage with me.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Away from all of you!" I hissed as I walked into the lift. I pressed the L button and closed the lift door. I walked out from the lift and my eyes widened to see Deandre standing there leaning to the wall. He smirked at me and then he walked to me.
"Going somewhere, Tatiana?" He asked.
"Just leave me alone." I said as I walked past him. He caught my wrist and I turned to him.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"You're my fiance remember?" He said as he pointed at the ring. I sighed and I know I can't run away like this but I need time to process everything. Yesterday was a really crazy day for me.. I can't believe that my dad sold me to this bastard and then my own fiance agreed that I should marry this crazy sick bastard and then divorce him after my company get enough money to pay him back.
"Can I.. can I go to LA for 2 days? I promise I will be back here."
"No." He said coldly.
"Tatiana!" I turned my head to see Eric walking towards me and Deandre.
"What the heck is she doing here?" I turned my head to Deandre when he said that. Did he just say she?
"Let's just go.. you're moving into my house." Deandre took my hand but I stopped him. I pulled my hand from his grip.
"Tatiana.." Eric caught my wrist.
"What is she doing here?" Deandre asked in a cold tone and it made Eric turn to him.
"You! You rui-" I stood in front of Eric when he was about to punch Deandre. I glared at him hard.
"Tatiana.. look."
"Don't even think about talking to me.. we're done." I said straight to his face. I walked out from the building and turned my head to Deandre.
"Where's your car?" I asked him. I turned to the valet chauffeur and the chauffeur ran to take his car. He walked towards me and stood beside me.
"I don't want to marry you." I stated and I turned to him. He ignored me and all I want to do know is to kill him. My phone rang and I took it out of my bag. It's my dad and I turned my phone off.
When the car came right in front of us, Deandre walked to his driver side and I opened the passenger seat by myself. It's not that I want him to open the door for me but he's acting like a cold jerk. I threw my luggage to the back and put my seatbelt on. He started to drive away..
"Where are we going?" I asked and he ignored me once again. I asked him once again but he ignored me.. again. What's his problem?
His phone rang and he put on his ear piece on accepting the call.
"Hey buddy." He smiled when he said that. I can't believe my eyes to see him being cold and then he turned into another person in a split second. Oh god..
"No.. I'm off to somewhere. Yeah.. I'll just see you at dinner.. Hey Crystal.." Crystal? He knows her?
"Okay.. I'll see you at dinner, L. Bye!" He ended the call and threw his ear piece back to the small drawer.
"You know Crystal? Okay if you don't want to answer that.. at least can you tell me where we're going? Are you trying to kidnap me? Deandre Romeo!" I asked and he suddenly stopped his car on the side of the road. He turned to me with his cold eyes and vibe.
"Do you always ask this many questions?" He asked as he leaned closer to me. My eyes stuck on his and I leaned backwards. I gulped nervously and suddenly he pressed the open button of my seatbelt. He smirked and opened his seatbelt. He opened the door and got out from the car.
I took a breath of relief and got out from the car. I closed the door and he immediately locked the car. He gestured to me to follow him and I walked to him. He lead me to a.. wedding dress store. I was speechless. He gestured to me to enter the store first and I entered it.
"Good afternoon, what can we do for you?"
"I want you to find the perfect wedding dress for her." Deandre said in a cold tone and I looked at him disbelief.
"Let us talk for a second." I said to the employees and they leave us alone. I turned to Deandre.
"What's with all this?"
"You and I will get married in a month." He said simply like it was nothing.
"What? Look! I can't marry you! I don't love you and I don't even know you!" I hissed coldly and looked around because I don't want other people to hear my private conversation with him.
"Do I look like I care?" He raised his eyebrows and I was kore than speechless to face this jerk.
"Do you want my dad's company that bad?" I asked and he ignored me. He walked inside and gestured to the employees to help me find a wedding dress.
I tried to look around the store and glanced secretly at Deandre once in a while. I'm planning to run away because I don't want to deal with Deandre nor my dad nor Eric now. I hate all of them. They all treated me like trash.
"I'm smart enough to know that you're trying to runaway, Tatiana. Runaway from here.. You will see your dad and Eric in the street without a piece of clothes to cover them." He said in a cold tone and I looked up to the ceiling.
"What have I done?"
Deandre Romeo
"Lucas!!!" I said as I entered my bestfriend's office.
"Hey bud.. What's up?" He asked as he walked to the sofa. I plopped down on his sofa and he raised his eyebrows looking at me suspiciously.
"What?" I asked.
"You're acting weird.. What did you do?"
"I'm getting married next month." I said and he looked at me with a bored expression.
"Tell me who hit your head, I'll hit their heads back." Lucas said flatly.
"I'm not joking.." I said as I took out the invitation from my pocket. I threw it to him and he caught it. He looked at it and his eyes widened like it was going to pop up in a second. He turned to me in disbelief.
"Andre! You're crazy! She has nothing to do with this!" He bursted and I got up from the sofa.
"Lucas.. You and I might be an ex-mafia but the mafia blood still runs through my veins." I said in a cold tone as I put my hands inside my pocket.
"Keep it from Crystal until the day of the wedding. Help me out here.." I said and Lucas sighed.
"Andre.. this is too much." He said as he put the invitation in a secret drawer below the table.
"Don't tell Crystal." I warned him once again.
"I won't but you should think about it again. She was engaged."
"I don't care if she's engaged.. or married.. I don't fucking care!" I hissed coldly and took a deep breath. I saw Crystal coming from the glass walls.
"She's here." I said.
"Ugh! What are you doing here again?" Crystal said when she walked into the office. I smiled at her and sat down again.
"I miss my Lucas.. you took him away from me these days. I'm jealous." I said and her jaw dropped. I chuckled and turned my head to Lucas.
"You two have fun.. I have a lot of work to catch." I said as I got up again.
"Don't come here again!" Crystal hissed and I laughed.
"C, I can't. I love your boyfriend too much to not come here again.. sharing is caring." I said smirking and she glared at me. She gestured to me to go and I looked at Lucas one last time. He nodded and I walked out from the door.
I walked towards my car and my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket. I smirked big time to see who's calling me.
"Talk." I said.
"Let's meet up." Tatiana said.
"And why should I grant your wish?" I asked.
"Your office now." She ended the call and I shrugged. I put my phone back in my pocket and got into my car. I drove towards my office and was completely curious what Tatiana's offer would be because I know she hates the fact that I force her to get married with me but I don't care about how she feels.
As soon as I arrived at my office, I parked my car in front of the lobby to let my chauffeur take care of it. I walked inside and found Tatiana standing there in front of the information desk. She saw me and immediately walked to me.
"Let's talk in your office." She said and I walked past her. The security guard let me pass and they lead me to the lift right away. I entered the lift first and then Tatiana entered. I pressed my office floor and closed the door.
I walked out from the lift as the door opened. I gestured to my secretary to go and leave us alone. I entered my office and held the door for her to come in. I closed the door and locked in.
I walked to the sofa at the corner of the room and gestured to her to sit down. I sat down and she sat in front of me.
"I can give you anything you want but I can't marry you." She said looking right into my eyes. I raised my eyebrows and tilted my head a little.
"Too bad, I don't have anything in mind." I said as I gestured her to look at the paper on the desk. She took it and her eyes widened.
"You should listen to everything I say.. or else.." I smirked and she sighed.
"Why? Why are you trying to crush my family?" She asked.
"If you try to say about canceling the marriage again.. I will take my 5 million back and you can see your dad's world falls apart in front of your eyes." I said coldly and she looked down to the table. It was like she's battling with her own mind.
"If you don't want to marry me really bad.. then take off the ring.. go home.. wait.. you all won't have a home anymore if you go out through that door with no ring on." I said and she sighed.
"You marrying me will be a definition of hell." She said to me trying to make me back off.
"Oh darling.. I'm already living in hell."
"Why marry me when you know in the end there will be a divorce paper kissing your face?" She asked.
"Thankyou for thinking about the future but I don't really care about it to be honest." She scoffed and looked up to the ceiling. She laughed dryly and then she turned back to me.
"We don't love each other and marriage is once in a lifetime."
"Love? We don't need love in marriage, Tatiana. Marriage once in a lifetime? Oh come on.. Don't be naive, you can get married 4-5 times.. no one cares." I shrugged and her jaw dropped.
"Then find someone else!" She bursted angrily at me.
"I'm not interested in finding another one."
"You psycho!" She hissed angrily and she looked at me like she's going to kill with her long sharp nails. I just looked at her calmly but still cold.
"Move in to my house by tomorrow."
"I don't want to!"
"Try me, Tatiana. Try me.." I smirked and she looked away avoiding my eyes.
Deandre Romeo
My eyes stuck to see Tatiana moving around her things from the truck to my house. She pulled her hair into a bun and wore a big sweatshirt and shorts. She has no make up on too and for me I like to see her with no make up on rather than she has her makeup on.
She wiped her sweat from her forehead and looked at her things like she's counting it inside her head. She turned to me and I raised my champagne glass smirking at her. She looked at me coldly and then she walked out again.
I know I'm not being a gentleman by not helping her but it's quite amusing to see her carrying big things with her small and slim body. She's a model and I know she's been working out so.. I don't think she will have a problem carrying those things.
I heard she's groaning everytime she carries and put heavy stuff. She can't even put it with the usual posture so I'm assuming her back hurted. I walked to my medical kit at the kitchen and took one big hot patch.
I waited for her to finish all the moving by sitting at the living room sipping all my champagne. After she's done with everything.. She took a deep breath and closed the door.
I got up from my seat and walked to her. Her back was facing me and I held her shoulder.
"Wha-"
"Stay still." I said but she still tried to turn to me.
"I said stay still!" I hissed coldly and she stopped trying to get away. I pulled her sweatshirt up a little.
"What the f-"
"I said stay still, Tatiana!" I bursted and she stopped. I lifted up her sweatshirt and put the hot patch on lower back. I put her sweatshirt back down and then walked upstairs.
"Where is my room?" I stopped in the middle of the stairs and turned my head to her.
"My room?"
"So you made me come to your house to sleep on the floor?" She said in a sarcastic tone as she put her hands on her hips.
"Your room? You and I will sleep together." I said and her jaw fell.
"What?! No! I am not sleeping with a bastard jerk like you!"
"You can sleep there then.." I shrugged and I was going to go up the stairs again but she bursted.
"This is a mansion!"
"And I'm the owner of this mansion.." I said and she stomped her feet. I found it cute when she does that.. It reminds me of our first meeting.
"I swear one day I will curse you to be a frog!" She bursted angrily and I ignored her. I walked towards my room to take a shower because dealing with Tatiana gives me a headache.
I took off all of my clothes and jumped into the shower. I closed my eyes and let the hot water calm myself down. I took a really deep breath and started to wash myself up. I got out from the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around my lower body.
Suddenly Tatiana screamed and I jumped hearing her screaming like that.
"Tatiana!"
"Why are you naked?" She asked because she's closing her eyes.
"Are you serious?" I asked.
"Get dressed quick!" She said and I put my clothes on.
"Why? You never seen Eric naked before?" I hissed.
"I mean.. yes.. of course I've seen him naked before." She said and I rolled my eyes. I walked towards the table to take my phone and my car keys.
"Where are you going?" She asked and I turned my head to her.
"Strip club.. Why? Do you want to join?" She looked at me in disgust and she shook her head. I walked out from the room and went down. I looked at her stuffs and I took my phone out. I called my bodyguard, Zen.
"Mr. Romeo."
"I want you to help me carry all the stuff in the living room to my room. Bring others because there's a lot of stuff here."
"Will do, sir. Anything else, Mr. Romeo?"
"There's my fiance here and I want you to watch her. She can't get out from the house."
"Roger that, sir." He said and I ended the call. I walked out from the house and got into my car. I called my buddy as always..
"Hey Andre."
"Let's have a drink."
"I'm already here."
"See you there." I said and I drove towards my favorite bar in town. I drove there with a lot of thoughts inside my head. I need a lot of alcohol today. As soon as I arrived, I walked into the bar and found Lucas already sitting there drinking his favorite martini.
I walked down to the bar and sat beside him.
"It's unusual to see you alone." I said and Lucas chuckled.
"Crystal went to Autumn's house."
"And you're not worried?"
"Morris is there to watch them.. I have my tracker on." He said and I nodded. I ordered a drink.
"You okay?" He asked.
"She's at my house now."
"Andre, are you crazy?"
"Lucas, you kidnapped Crystal before. It's not weird for me to have a woman in my house."
"Are you serious? Like really serious that you will marry her?"
"I'm serious." I said as the bartender put the drink in front of me.
"What if she finds out?"
"She will know eventually.."
"What if you fall in love in the middle?" Lucas asked as he turned to me.
"Divorce."
"Andre!"
"You know I'm serious with my words, Lucas."
"I know.. that's why I'm worried." He sighed.
"Be my best man.."
"Of course, I will." He hissed coldly and I chuckled.
