Chapter 5

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.

Chapter 6

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.

Chapter 7

Tatiana Kamerie

I walked into my dad's office and he got up from his seat when he saw me. I walked to him with anger ready to crush him into pieces.

"I want you to give the money back to Deandre." I said seriously and he shook his head.

"Tatiana, it's our only way to say the company."

"You sold me to him without even hearing my side! Is this company more important to you than your own daughter?" I bursted big time and he sighed.

"He's rich and you'll be happy." He said simply like it's nothing.

"Dad! I love Eric and I can't believe you trade me for money.. that's crazily insane."

"Just use him.. you can get all his money by marrying him." He said as he looked at me seriously. I can't believe my dad just said that. I scoffed big time and looked away from him for a second and then turned back to him.

"Use him? Dad! We can't use someone like that! I'm not marrying him and that's it.. I want you to give him back the money.. we can find a way to-"

"There's no other way!" My dad cut me and that got me good. Tears came out from my eyes. I still can't believe my dad pick money over me. We still can find a way to get the company back stable but instead of doing that.. he took a big shortcut to get it.

"Is money everything for you?" I asked him and he sighed.

"Just get married with him.. he's rich and he will make sure you won't starve or-"

"I don't care about the money!"

"I CARE, TATIANA!" He bursted angrily at me and that was enough to keep my mouth shut.

"You just lost your daughter, dad. I can't believe you're doing this to me." I said completely disappointed.

"Take all the money and I hope you're happy that your company is back on track." I said in a sarcastic tone. I turned my body and walked to the door. I sighed and walked out. My dad didn't even try to say a word or try to talk to me.

"Tatiana.. let's talk." Eric was already waiting for me. I nodded lightly and he led me to his office.

"I'm sorry, Tatiana." He said and I looked up to him.

"Sorry for what?"

"I wasn't thinking at that time.. I shouldn't have said it. I'm sorry. Let's start over again, okay?" He said and I sighed.

"I need time.. I still can't process everything right now. It came all to me like a tornado." I said honestly and he nodded. He walked close to me, closing the gap between us and he hugged me.

"I'm sorry. Please talk to me after you clear your head." He said and then he kissed my forehead. I nodded lightly and walked out from his office room. My eyes widened when I saw Deandre come out from the lift bringing 4 people with him.

I ran to him and stopped him before he reached my dad's office.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I spread my hands out.

"Move!" He hissed coldly.

"What are you doing?" I asked once again and he shoved me to the side. I stopped him before he can open my dad's office.

"Please stop.."

"I'm a man with my words, Tatiana. I never play with things that I said." He said seriously and he looked with angry, crazy, sexy eyes. I took a really deep breath.

"Please.." I begged because I know how much my dad loves his company. I know he literally traded me for the sake of his company but I don't I can bare to see my dad go crazy and depressed because of it.

"Get out of my way, Tatiana." Deandre said coldly to me. I closed the gap between us and I cupped his face and crashed my lips to his. I kissed him slowly.

"I'll marry you.. I will marry you if you want to marry this second." I said looking right into his eyes.

"Tatiana." I turned my head to see Eric looking at me speechless. I looked at him with a really mix emotion inside my heart.

"If you change your mind one more time.. I will crush your dad that second, Tatiana." Deandre whispered to my ear and I turned to him. He's currently smirking to Eric.

"You bastard! You're the on-"

"Stop.. Eric." I said and Eric stopped walking.

"I love you so much but I can't believe you and my dad give me away-"

"He only wants your company, babe. He doesn't want you and by the way.. your ex-fiance here has been cheating on you with a girl named Jesslyn." Deandre said in a small tone but it was loud enough for Eric to hear it too. I looked at Eric completely broken-hearted.

"I don't think I need to ask you if it's true or not because I realize it now." I scoffed looking at him.

"Tatiana.. listen to me first! How come you trust him more than me?!" He bursted.

"You're the one who suggested that I marry him and then later on get a divorce.. You love money more than me, that's so obvious. I hope you and my dad are happy that you get all the happiness now!" I said and suddenly Deandre held my hand tightly. I turned to him and he looked at me softly. I sighed.

"You deserve more than this jerk, babe." Deandre said and I glared at him too.

'You're a damn crazy psycho jerk too! You and him are the same! D*ckface!' I hissed and cursed him with all the curse words out there inside my heart. Deandre intertwined his hands with mine. I looked down and he pulled me away from Eric and away from my dad's office. We walked into the lift and he released his hand.

"Don't try to play with me, Tatiana. You won't like it."
