Rosa's POV

*

I woke up to a pounding headache and a dry mouth, making it difficult for me to even clear my throat properly.

"Aishh..." I moaned, feeling my throat hurt with the sound I made.

"That's the sound of pain. Why do you love pain?" Gonzalo's deep voice came from beside me and that instantly wiped any trace of sleep from my system. Frowning, I slowly opened my eyes and they widened when I spotted the desk on his left side of the bed. I looked around and realized I was in his room.

How did I even get here?

Oh! I went out with Mia last night. The memories slowly came back like fleets into my head and I remembered everything that happened. From going to the club, to the talk I had with Mia and how we eventually ordered some strong drinks.

I remembered downing more and more shots of the drink as I restrained myself from telling her how I actually got married to Gonzalo even though there was this strong urge for me to do so. Because she told me the issues she was facing in her matrimonial home didn't mean I would tell her mine too.

Then I decided to dance a little to let out some steam but Gonzalo came out of nowhere not long after and dragged me out of there. I remembered everything.

But on the way from the club...I puked on his chest while in the car!

Shoot!

My eyes slowly moved to him and I snuck a peek at him through my lashes, pursing my lips as I tried to gauge his expression. His eyes were already on me and his gaze was fierce as if he wanted to drill a hole into my skull.

"Sorry for yesterday." I murmured, pulling the duvet over my torso properly.

"You finally realize what you did wrong. That's a good sign." He leveled me a stare, his tone reprimanding.

"It was my fault. I shouldn't have drank so much." I added meekly. Regardless of whatever was going on between us at the moment, we still needed to respect each other and set a limit to how far one could go in upsetting the other party.

But it came as a surprise to me when at my words, his face instantly pulled into a frown. "Drinking is fine Rosa, but drink responsibly next time because you are now a married woman. You embarrassed me out there."

Embarrassed him? Anger flared inside me at his words and I sat properly so I could face him.

"What the hell Gonzalo? I just apologized for my actions but it seems you're getting ahead of yourself and you think you can speak however you wish now. What do you mean by I embarrassed you? Who the hell do you even think you are to tell me I embarrassed you?" I asked with flaring nostrils, hating the fact that he was already being so annoying this morning. I winced at the slight throb in my head.

He huffed, his gaze still arrogant.

"You heard me just well Rosa. Thanks to you, our pictures are plastered all over the Internet and the whole world now knows you're married to me. Could you protect your image next time? If you drag yourself in the mud, you're dragging my name too in the mud."

How come this happened? Apart from Mia and her husband, the doctor and nurse at the hospital and the maids in the mansion, no one else knew we were married. How come it got publicized that we got married?

Ugh. I hate the attention people get when they become famous or when they get involved with a famous person. Did this mean I wouldn't have my own privacy anymore?
