Rayver Chadrel Hillarca POV

Rayver Chadrel Hillarca's POV

They say reasons can change people. I thought it was just prose, but they could be right. Reasons why she changed her decision

"I-I don't want this anymore, Chad," shaking her head. "I can't pretend anymore."

"W-What are you talking about?" My forehead creased. "Are we still faking it?" I take one step forward." G-Gaile," she cried out in desperation.

"T-This is just a game, right?" Isn't it all just a game? Chad?" She said this while she was in tears. Right now, I'm the one shaking my head. I hold her firmly. Cursing out inside my head

"B-Baby... listen to me, hmm." I rested my head on her forehead. "Gaile, why is this?" She's trying to step backward, but I hold her waist firmly. collapsing into my body.

"C-Chad..."

"Baby, please don't do this to me; please enlighten me," she sobbed, wiping away her tears.

"I'm sorry, but I can't." she croaked. "I can't lie anymore."

"But we're not lying, right?" "I love you, Gaile; you love me, don't you?"

"N-No Chad," she said, shaking her head."I never loved you."

"W-What—"

"He's still Chad!" H-He's still…sorry." She then turns around... and enters my life. Three months. I gave her the space for almost three months because I thought she needed it. But for the first few weeks of August, she's kissing someone else.

at our secret place. "CHADRELLE!" Finally, I was called by name for the first time. But the thing is, even though she's hugging me, she's stopping me from hurting the man she's with. It f*cking hurts... I didn't think there would come a day when I would feel this kind of pain. It hurt to see her with someone else. "W-Who the f*ck is he?!"

"B-Bro, shouldn't I be the one to ask you that?" He laughed and answered me in a panicky way.

"Shut the f*ck up!"

"Chad!"

"What?! Gail?! "I gave you three months."

"You didn't give it to me, Chad!" "It's my own decision!"

"Don't be concerned, Gaile; just..."Don't make me feel like this."

"We can’t work, Chadrelle."

"You know that's not true!"

"See this ring in my hands!" Despite closing my eyes, the rings were still illuminated by the sun's rays.

F*ck.

"In the second week, I will get married myself!" So don't bother me anymore because we don't have anything!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. People were looking at us. I'm used to people staring at me, but this time. I'm not sure we're even being photographed openly. I can't yell at them like I used to. Right, I laughed and smiled bitterly. Here she is. The woman who transforms me into someone I never thought I'd be, Gail.

"C-Chad…let's go." When I looked up, I was hoping it was Gaile. But it's not.

"B-Brother Chad..." It was Hale. My best friend’s sister "H-Hey." "W-why are you crying?!" And why are you still standing here like an idiot? "Where is that Chad that I met so badly?!" she’s crying. I was lightly punched in the chest. When I touch my cheeks, she's right. I didn't know I was crying. I stopped her hands when Hale tried to slap me this time.

"I'm fine."

"You're not fine! Don't lie to me! You're not!"

"Hailene?"

Wince. Hale's brother, who was my friend before they even got close to me I turned around and left them.

"Brother Chad!" Hale shouted at me. looking at her caller ID. Should I call? I turned my engine on. Maybe it's true what they say, but it should be better if you tell the truth in the first place, because in the end, when it comes true, you can say it's just a joke. The contract was still in my hands... Gaile was right. Indeed, we are both just fooling around, and we don't have any. I was the first to bring up the subject.

"Don't ever fall in love with me."

"O-Of course! "I will never really be in love with the likes of you."

"For what? "I look like what?"

"You have so many hangers."

"Lots of hangers?" I frowned again at what she said. She nodded.

"Yes! You're rich, I'm just poor, and Cinderella isn't trendy, so don't worry. "I will read the contract, so let's work professionally, shall we?" putting her hands in front of me. Upon taking a handshake with her, I didn't expect her to have a smooth bare hand.

"Deal... sealed," I spoke. She wickedly nodded at me. The thing is, she was far different at some points for some girls. She didn't want to put on make-up or change her style. Wearing a skirt to school is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He always wears jogging pants or maybe pants with a plain shirt or sometimes a dress. When she thought of dressing, it was obvious that the ones she was using were old.

I pulled over to the side of the road and parked my car. I immediately went out, and upon stepping outside, I shouted. I was shouting in frustration. Shouting the pain inside my chest I hurt. It was so stupid of me to fall in love with her. Why would I threaten her if I am the one who, in the first place, will fall like this? I love her. But... in the end, it was still him. He's still the one she chooses.

And she's telling the truth. She was getting married when the second week came. "What happened, Rayver?" I thought that she was your wife. "Why is your best friend going to marry her, son?" Mama said as I walked into the house.

"Baby," her dad called her.

"No, Rezoir! Did he introduce her to us? And what is this?!" Mom was frustrated. Dad consoled her, whispering some sweet words in her ears. Dad looks at me intently, telling me to go upstairs and that we'd talk later. I collapsed on the bed, exhausted. So, if this is the end, She's tying the knot with Lacky.

F*ck... why? What does Lacky have that I don't have? Am I not enough? "What's your plan?" Dad sips at his drinks.

"Should I run, Dad?"

"Are you giving up?"

"Maybe we don't belong to each other."

"That was the word I was saying when things were becoming a roller coaster between me and your mom." He spoke.

"What am I going to do then?"

"It's up to you, son." It is okay to run, but the thing is, will you be all right? "Will you still be okay when you run?"

"She doesn't love me, Dad." First of all, I know I'm not. I shake. I know that it's not me; it's another one if Lacky and I are based on Gaile. After all, I know Lacky is more... I care for her—in a hidden way. Dad stood up, and he patted my back.

"Do the things you think are right." Was running the right decision? I am not the man who can go to his best friend's wedding with my woman... So I chose to stay away; is it cowardly to stay away when the person I love did not choose me? I looked up at the sky. People say my father was the wildest beast among the Hillarca clan. That's what they said—that people know that I inherited everything from him. The talent, the physical appearance, and the approach when it comes to love Yes, I wouldn't deny that the contract I drafted was merely baited... but it was never a game. But Gaile sees the contract as the contract... that no matter how hard I try, it's all just a game for her. And while I fell for him for a long time, he also fell for my friend Lacky even more.

Lacky and I were beyond different. In prose, he was the dog, but I'm a lion. The marriage was convenient for business, and I didn't know that Gaile was close to the Romeros. That's why they chose her to marry Lacky; after all, the daughter of Romero was already tied to someone else.

"Brother Chad!" blinking my eyes.

"H-Hale? "What are you doing here?"

"You…brother? "What are you doing here?"

"I'm taking a vacation."

"Ha? It’s still early for a vacation!

"And you?"

"I run away!" she giggled.

"W-What?!"

"It's a good thing you're also going to Japan, brother! "I have a companion then!" she giggled.

"Why the f*ck did you run away?"

"I'm not part of their family anymore!"

"Wha—" "Our dear passengers, please settle down." I immediately touched the side of my forehead. I'm out of the country and able to take a breath, but fate didn't let me, huh? Why would I run into this jerk for all I know? I don't know why she ran away, but one thing is for sure: It's not good to be with her. And why am I taking her luggage then? "You should be with me, brother Chad," she exclaimed as she followed me. I don't know where or when I agreed to let her join me. I know I can't win an argument with her.

"Maybe fate sees us on this day!" She was so hyper for people who ran away. I shake my head, and what? A freaking sixteen-year-old just ran away just like that! I'd go insane if it was Rasha. For sure. I know I can't win an argument with her. "Maybe fate sees us on this day!"

"When will you go home?" I ask.

"When will you go home?" she mimicked me. Raising my brow at her

"Haileen Bielle."

"Rayver Chadrelle."

"Tsk."

"What? "I'm just as curious as you!"

"I'm not curious; I was just wondering when I could accompany you to the airport."

"Why would you accompany me?" "We can go home together!"

"Really?"

"Really!" I came to a halt, wondering why she had collided with me. I bend down to reach her face, piercingly looking at her. Even though she was flushed, I could tell this brat was similar to me.

"Did you follow me?"

Huh? N-No! "Why would I?"

"Look me straight in the eye then."

"I-I…"

"Hmm?"

"I didn't! "I run away from home!" He refused everything. But her actions were enough to confirm that she was. I take a deep sigh.

"Don't take a step away from me if you don't want to get lost."

"You're not mad?"

"I'm not mad."

"You're angry." I hissed. How can Vince live with her? She was so... never mind.

We arrive at our hotel. Our rooms are adjacent, as is my hotel number. Thank you! Tsk, is she running away, or did someone have a plan for this? Maybe it's Aunt Maddy, or so my mother thinks. Well, I'm here, or should I say we’re here? So be with it, hoping that this place will give you enough space or time to be at peace eventually.

NEXT day. "Coming!" I shouted. Someone is knocking on my door, and yet it is still so early. Who could it be? Of course, no one other than someone who can ruin my peaceful day can do it. "What?" I grumpily said. But I was immediately relieved when I saw that her tears were falling.

"B-Brother..." I thought she was just acting this time. "Hey, what's wrong?" "Are you sick?" I immediately felt her forehead to see if she had a fever. When it is revealed that she is not, "what's wrong?" "I frowned," he said. She pointed to his room.

"What? "Did someone haggle in your room?"I said this with wide eyes, ready to fight! But my shoulders immediately dropped when she said the next thing.

"There's a cockroach in my room!" That won't be the last time she knocks on my door.

"How do I use the telephone?"

"It's like this."

The shower in my bathroom is broken!

"Call the staff, Hale!"

"I don't have a shirt to wear!" "Where can I buy it?" taking a deep sigh. I washed my face. Why would the universe kill me in this manner?

"I'm coming!" when I opened the door. Hale's grinning face immediately appeared on the skin.

What was this time?

"There's a—"

"Hale," I called her name. I immediately grabbed her shoulder and stared at him for a long time. "You know what? Stay with me." "Share a room with me."

"Huh?"

The next day, she shared a room with me. Fortunately, the room I took had two rooms. We've been here in Japan for a few weeks, but we've only been to the hotel. So that very day, we thought of going out. I don't have a destination in the back of my head, so I didn't scream when he was right in front. Finally, we go to the location where her favorite manga or anime has been adapted into a film or comic book. In short, Japan became Hale's world tour. It was too late to go against her plan. "Ang cute," she commented while staring at those nails.

"Their fake nails here are beautiful." She looks at me.

"What? "You don't have money?" She snorted and immediately tormented me. My mouth dropped. This brat takes a deep sigh.

"What is it?" "Why are you rolling your eyes at me?" I raised my eyebrows, watching her.

"I have money." But I don't know how to," she pointed to the machine right in front of her."I want to buy these cute nails; don't you understand Japanese?!" I stopped her from jumping. I facepalmed. What a kid.

"Short of," following the instructions The person next to me is restless.

"Stop giggling, Hale," I commented. She snorted, so I shook my head. It's good that Wince still sleeps soundly at their house when his brother is there. Because the truth is... some days I didn't sleep well. Haileen is kind of troubled. He simply acts by what is going on around him. That's why I was curious as to how the f*ck she got away. knowing the fact that trouble is always with her.

"Watch out!" I scooped her up when she almost fell.

"S-Sorry."

"Watch your step!" "What are you looking at that you're not paying attention to?"I spat furiously. When I moved in the direction she was looking, she grabbed me and dragged me to the other side." I still need a pair of slippers!" she said.

"Aren't you buying that already?"

"I've seen something more beautiful over there!"

"Tsk!" I hissed. I sat on the couch, tired when we got back to the hotel.

"You okay?" he asked with a laugh. I looked at her badly; it looks like this is her plan. "My feet are tired."

I'm good."

"Where are we going tomorrow?" I groaned. "What? Shopping is so much fun!" That's her way. Nodding my head

"Yeah," I answered tiredly. I was taken aback when I saw how close she was to my face. She stopped moving her hands."What are you doing?" I asked with a frown.

"Massaging? Doesn't your head hurt?" she innocently asked. F*ck.

"I'm good."

But still, of course, she didn’t let me; she's now giving me a massage in my head. "Stubborn," I whispered.

"Yeah, that's me, Haileen, a. k. a., stubborn." She burst out laughing. I smiled.

"Hey, you smiled!" She tempts.

"I am not."

"You are! "I can see, that's it." It pricked my cheek at the same time. I immediately tickled her because she was out of control. She falls into my body. Before she can even leave, I grab her hands and scoop her up, easily. "W-what are you doing?" she stammered. I immediately removed the shoes he was wearing, as expected. There was a bruise on them.

"Let me clean your wound." my language This is the first thing I noticed when we first got here. She has a disease. "What happened to your toes?" I look at her, and she keeps her eyes away from me. "It's nothing." She answered sparingly.

"This is nothing." Tell me, Hale, why did you run away, hmm?" biting her lips. This time, she looks me in the eyes with confidence.

"Someone is following me..." I was fixed when I sat down and heard what he said.

"Someone is following you?" I said it again, and she nodded.

"When does it start?"

"I don't know when... but I noticed that every night someone was trying to open my door and window."

"A f*cking what?!"

"It's true! That is why I run!"I am not safe there anymore!"

"Why don't you tell your brother?"

"I attempted... but that person is aware... I was threatened!"So, I can't say!"

"Okay! That's it! "We're going home!" She immediately let go of my arms.

"WHAT? NO!" "

Hale list—"

"I don't want to, brother!" She shook her head.

"I don't want to go home!" He will kill me!" she's crying. I grabbed her hands and hugged her tightly.

"Baby, listen; hey, look at me," she says softly, her face caring."It's okay; you have me." "We will find the culprit, okay?"

"What if you get hurt?"

"That's not going to happen." Trust me, I will find the culprit and make him pay." The sudden urge to find the culprit was a big question mark for me. Why the f*ck have I been affected? Have I been affectionate towards her? Do I like her... or is it just unfortunate?

"I will marry her, Ma." And the plan is this: We're announcing that I've proposed to her and that this time I am now her fiancée. to quickly trace the culprit. But I never thought... I will eventually love her. I thought it was just a feeling toward my best friend's sister. I just thought I was hit because I cared for her as a sister. Damn, then he'll come back.

"What did you say, Gaile?"

"I love you, Chad. "I love you!"

"What the f*ck are you talking about?" "C-Chad... sorry, I didn't intend to"—she suddenly hugged me. Before I was able to push her, it was too late because Hale already saw it.

"Haileen!" I shouted her name.

"C-Chad..."

"Stop this f*cking game, Gaile! "I have Hale now; you have been too late to f*ck this game around!"
