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.

Tatiana Kamerie

I walked out from Deandre's room and suddenly there's a lot of guards entering the room with all my stuff. That confused me.. They asked me where to put it and I asked them to put in the middle of the room.

"Thankyou."

"Your welcome, Miss.."

"Just call me Tatiana." I said.

"I'm sorry but Mr. Romeo won't allow us to call-"

"Ms. Kamerie." I cut him and he nodded.

"If you need anything Ms. Kamerie, just press that button." He pointed at the black button on the wall. I nodded and he walked away. Why didn't they help me earlier? Gosh. I walked into the room and plopped my body to the sofa. I felt the hot patch is starting to warm up a little bit.

Wait.. is he really going to the strip club? That suddenly came across my mind. I opened my eyes and scoffed disbelief. I turned my head to the bed and it invited me to sleep there because.. I'm damn tired.

My situation now makes me really sleepy.. and I really need a lot of sleep. I dragged myself to the bed and laid there. I inhaled the manly scent from the bed, it made me more sleepy than before. I closed my eyes and flew to dream land.

My nose caught a really strong scent of alcohol and my eyes opened widely. I jumped immediately from the bed after seeing Deandre's body beside me. I got up and turned my head to the clock. It's 5 in the morning.

I turned my head to my stuff and saw it scattered all over the floor. I turned to Deandre completely ready to kill him. I sighed big time and put all my stuff back first. I decided to take a shower because I felt my body was so sticky.

I took my fresh clothes and walked to the bathroom. I locked the door and took off my clothes. I turned my back to the mirror and four patches on my back instead of one. I raised my eyebrows.

Did he put more patches when I was asleep?

I took it off slowly from my body and jumped into the shower. I used the body soap that Deandre has and washed up my hair with his shampoo too. After that I took the fresh towels to dried myself and I put my clothes on.

I walked out the bathroom and looked at my stuff. I sighed big time because I hate to put it in place. I'm not a neat person.. I tend to put everything randomly. Don't judge me.

I sat down on the sofa and checked my instagram and all the social media that I have. I pressed the photo of me and Eric. I missed him but he broke my heart. I need time to heal myself.

I will contact him later on.. I need more time. I froze when I heard Deandre shifting his position in his sleep. I continued to play with my phone until my alarm went off. My eyes widen and I quickly stopped it.

"Damn it!" I heard him hissing. I gulped nervously and froze myself. He sat up slowly and he opened his left eye. He saw me and he opened the other eyes glaring at me.

"Sorry." I said whispering.

"There's no use for whispering!" He said coldly and got up from the bed. He walked to the bathroom and before he closed the door.. he opened it again.

"Did you shower here?" He asked as he turned his head to me.

"Yeah."

"Wipe all the water on the floor and put the shampoo and soap back!" He hissed and then he closed the door. I glared at him planning to kill him big time.

What a jerk! I'm so not going to marry you! You'll see..

I got up and walked out of the room. I walked downstairs and tried to find the kitchen. My stomach growled and I sighed. I looked around the house and I felt like I'm in a cage.

I sat down on the bench and looked around the garden. I closed my eyes and felt the wind hitting my face. My eyes drifted to the photo frame on the table beside the bench. It's Deandre when he was a kid with his parents.

He smiled on his dad's shoulder with her mom holding his tiny hands. Seeing this picture makes me smile because of the happiness that shines from Deandre's eyes.

"Who told you that you can touch my stuff?" I looked up to see Deandre looking at me coldly. I put the photo down and got up.

"Where's the kitchen?"

"There's no kitchen." He said simply without any expression.

"What? Why?" I asked him in disbelief. He has a really big mansion but he doesn't have a kitchen.

"Put your stuffs into place before I come back again.. I hate seeing it scattered on the floor not organized." He hissed at me coldly and then he walked back in. I sighed.

"Deandre!" I followed him and he turned to me.

"I don't want to marry you.. I can't." I said the last 2 words in a small tone.

"Then get out from my eyes and go live on the street." He said simply and he made me speechless once again.

"I told you not to talk about it again right? Since you talked about it.. bring your stuffs out and try to find a cheap apartment or an officetel around here." He said coldly and then continued to walk again. I ran to him and stood in front of him.

"Why are you trying to make my life miserable?!" I bursted at him angrily because I'm damn pissed off.

"Are you done?" He asked, completely not interested.

"Why suddenly you came and invested in my dad's company with a condition that I have to marry you? Why? I'm engaged and I will get married with Eric in 6 months!" I am completely angry.. I took a deep breath to calm my anger.

"Get away." He said and he looked at me coldly.

"I'll give your money back by tomorrow.." I said and then I let him walk again. He walked past me and left the mansion. I scoffed and I sighed. I put my hands on my waist and closed my eyes.

I need to talk to my dad.
