Chapter 1

Chapter 1 earlier Tay what? Will you marry me to a man I don't know? "My voice was confused and high after he said that he planned to marry me to Mr. Flaumel, a man I don't know. Son, listen to me. He's rich and there's nothing wrong with that. It's for our family." "But Dad, do you hear what you're saying, you're going to marry me to a man I don't know just because of the money. It's like you sold me then!" "It's for our son's family. Nothing, I've been trying to find a job since I was fired from the Auto company, just in case. I'm old, they don't want to take me anymore. Your siblings are still small. I can't afford it. revive them. " A white royal alms car came after me that night. It's a car with long body. A typical car for royalties. Two men came after me and a driver and they're also looking expensive. Only in their posture and dress. After about an hour's drive, I fell asleep but I also fell asleep immediately and the two agents of Mr. Flaumel busy gossiping. So she's the one Boss will marry. She's so beautiful and has a slender body. She's sexy." Promise the other one."You're right but I pity her. She looks innocent. In dress and manners alone it's obvious she doesn't know anything about now." Promise one before they laugh. You're right, knowing that she's a provincial too. She seems innocent and naive. There's no way that she can handle Boss Argus." Hey, poor woman. She's just miserable in Boss's hands. It will be bloody for her." After saying that, they laughed again.She will just be a toy to him. She will be ripped into pieces like f*cking tender juicy chicken when Boss gives her a taste of the whip of an Argus Flaumel." They laughed again so I replied that even though I was really scared of what they were saying."Hmm, excuse me. Who are you again?" My sarcastic promise "Ah we are Boss Argus's personal agents Ma'am." I see. So what are you guys talking about?" "Hah Ma'am no." C'mon, tell me!" Ma'am w-that's not it.Really ?! You were saying I'll be ripped off into pieces right? And what made you so sure that he won't ripped you two also into pieces once he finds out that you're talking behind his back and you're disgracing his bride? " I boldly promise reason for them to fear and apologize to me. You'd better hold your heads up and mind your own business if you don't want your Boss to remove your itchy tongues when I tell him what you're doing." I said again before I sighed as I played with my fingers in nervousness and fear.After more than ten hours of driving we arrived. I was asleep then so the two of them woke me up. I got out of the car nervously and holding my breath when I realized the place where we were. We are in an Island. I'm not sure where it is but it looks like we're at a Santorini Beach resort. Look alike. That's exactly the same. I can see only the sea, mountains, and white infrastructures and I was even more surprised when I looked back at where we're heading to. It's like a palace, not just like the palace then. It's modern and mostly made with glasses. It's too wide and too high. I don't know how many floors and how wide but I'm only sure of one. We are just ants compared to this. Ma'am, let's go inside." I promised a PA before they both carried my suitcases. We first walked about a hundred kilometers before we reached the entrance of the mansion which is 3 times bigger than the mall's entrance.The gigantic chandelier and made of glass stair that is extra high and large from the entrance opened immediately. At the entrance there are white women lying on either side. They nodded at the same time when we got there.Later, a woman approached, I think it was the head or manager. Welcome, Ma'am Sabina. You're finally here too." He smiled promise. I was surprised because he knew my name but I was speechless because of my mixed feelings. Sir Argus is out of town so he's not here. But, even if he's here, he won't earn you money not in that state." He made a promise before looking at me from head to toe. It's a rule here that you have to be as clean as crystal before you approach him. Your wedding is in one week so for 7 days you have nothing else to do but clean your body. You will undergo a spa, from head to toe, facial, and other treatments and medical proceedings to make sure that you are clean, healthy, and qualified enough to become his wife. I am in charge of you so come with me. I'll lead you to your chamber where you will stay for one week while undergoing improvisation. "He said that's why I was just swallowed up by twitter. By the way, ladies, you already know what to do with her things." He balked at the maids who were there. Not to mention, they are all good looking. They are like beauty queens. There is nothing ugly about them. Yes Madam, I will follow." The women answered and took my gear heading different way so I was surprised. "Ah, what are they going to do with my things. Shouldn't they follow that with me." I asked Ivanka, the manager. "We are sorry to inform you but you can't bring any of those in this household. They will throw that away." He promised that's why my eyes widened. W-what? But those are things!" Yes Ma'am, but as I was saying, filthy things are not supposed to enter this premise. Actually even the clothes you're wearing right now will also be thrown away. I have prepared everything for you here. So don't worry . " He explained but … "I still protested but she hushed me putting her index finger or my lips. "Ma'am just say thank you and Sir Argus didn't see you like this, but he will hate you. Look at around you, everything is white and crystal clear. He doesn't like dirty. Please get used to it." He said that's why I was stunned and couldn't speak anymore. I was so shocked. Uhmm by the way, even with your words Ma'am it's a bit trashy and very street-based, Sir Argus won't like that so we have to improve that at least. "She said elegantly and walked as if she was on the runway for modeling so I just accelerated my walk. I can't believe it. What the hell did I get into!" I still promise myself. That's why I'm working, Dad. I'm saving now to follow Marro to Spain. That way, I can help our family more just like I promised my mother before she died." Eh when are you still a child. Just marry Mr. Flaumel. My decision is complete!" But Dad, Marro and I are getting married." abay kailan anak? You've been waiting for that Marrong for five years! Where is he not! Because we both hit the ground running, it's hard to save for your wedding. " Dad, even though Marro is just like us, I love him very much and he's the only one I want to be with forever. He's a hardworking and good person." You can't live with that love son. You can't live with that orphaned and beaten land of Marro. So marry Mr. Flaumel for our family. Do you understand me ?!" Dad, you're serious. Marro is a good person and it's not his fault that he's an orphan now because he doesn't remember anything about his past or who he really is. His foster parents have died so it's just me what he has, we. " "Can Sabina stop me from doing that. Forget about Marro because you're going to marry Mr. Flaumel!" He made a strong promise so I only shed tears "If you really don't want to marry him go ahead, I won't force you." He promised later. "T-really Dad ?!" I gladly promised but he walked to the door and opened it. Of course and the door is open for you because from now on you have no place in this household and you also have no siblings. You understand!" Dad, why are you like that. I don't know what you're saying." Oh then, just follow. His men are coming tonight to pick you up." "Dad, I don't want to!" "Then go away! If you don't want to do it, your brother will do it!" "P-po? Is it Chona? Dad, are you losing your mind? Chona was only eight-eight last month. She's still too young!" sister for your pity, I don't want to! Sister, help me. "Chona's voice was scared and crying as she told me that it was very close to the hem of my dress. "Dad, how can you do this to your children!" "I don't want a lot of drama Sabina. If you don't do it, leave and your sister will be ready. The one who will pick her up is coming." Sister !!! "Chona's voice promised me again while crying so I just hugged her. So this will be your chamber for the meantime as long as you are not married to Sir Argus. Here we will do what I said earlier that you need to do. I just silently watched the whole room where Ivanka and I are now. Its super size and breadth. The glass walls were covered by gigantic white-pearl curtains that were then open. There's also veranda overlooking the the seashore and mountains. Everything was in place. The gigantic white bed is on the center. There's also crystal chandelier hanging above us. Shocked? " Eventually Ivanka stopped me smiling at me.You know what Ma'am, you need to losen up. Nothing happens if you stay stiff. I've been an Argus attendant for 15 years since he came here to the Philippines. I know him very well and I'm telling you, your life will be easier when you quickly adjust and accept the changes in your life. Argus doesn't like people who are hard to deal with. His word is a rule that people must follow, when he said it, he said it. He promised softly so I just gasped. I know it's hard Ma'am, but here it is. There's no turning back. Either fight or die. I can be a friend, if you want. Believe it or not, I can be a friend for you to lean on."thank you. " I answered shortly. Well then … let's start. " He smiled at the promise and we started with the things we had to do. I could hardly recognize myself after a week of what the dermatologists and beauticians Ivanka had called for me were doing to me. Everything was changed. Well, obviously, I haven't been retouched but I somehow become luxurious and flawless. Somehow Ivanka and I also became close. Ma'am, are you ready? " Ivanka, didn't I tell you earlier not to call me Ma'am anymore. " I promised when he came closer to me and whispered to me. Sabina, don't ever say that around people here. Argus will be furious when he finds out that I don't respect you or call you Ma'am. " He whispered. Is that so, okay. Oh your speech too, you have to be elegant in speaking especially when you are in front of him. I understand. " I just promised and tightened my grip on the bouquet of white flower I was holding. It was really good and I graduated AB-English. At least I can speak English even if not so fluent but at least I can. While walking down the aisle of white roses petals I almost froze with extreme nervousness. I couldn't even look directly in front of where Argus was standing. This is the very first time I will see and meet him in person and I am very nervous and scared. Just based on the stories I hear about him I don't feel good. Because of the mixed thoughts and feelings that claim me I stopped halfway without realizing it. Sabina .. Ivanka called me in a whisper so I seemed to return to trance and continued walking. In a few moments, Argus was within my reach. I still didn't look at his face when he spoke while we're walking towards the Priest. You're so stiff, you better lose up! " He said firmly in a strong toned voice. I was devastated because of that before I gave him a forced smile."Good!" He promised more. He's voice is beautiful but it sounds like a threat to me so I'm scared. To be Continued…
