Make it Last

"You have to marry me, Av" he said and it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

"What the hell are you saying?" I spat in disbelief, no, I am more in rage! "You're saying I need to marry you so that I can have the fucking blueprint?!"

He's still in his swivel chair across his office table, and just looking at me there darkly and crazy enough how this man just became more damn attractive. I don't have the time to appreciate this man but watching him from my place almost makes my knees weak. But that's the last thing I want him to know right now.

"Then are you asking me to give my blueprint..for free?" he said mockingly and I almost gasped when he stood up and walked in my direction.

"Give me a damn price! I could pay for it without asking me to do such a crazy thing!" I almost screamed at him, I'm giving him this defense that he should not mess with me or he can't just come close to me because he is now fucking towering me! "Ohh don't come closer!" I said as I pushed his chest.

"That's the problem with you, baby. You think everything has a price.." he huskily said and he didn't even budge as I'm trying to push him now. "Well maybe you are right, you're gonna pay for what you've done to me." he said threatening me, making my heartbeat leap.

"I didn't do anything.." I said almost whispering, because my heart right now is beating so fast and I'm afraid he could tell it. I looked him in the eye and that didn't help me at all, I just became more nervous.

"Really..baby?" he whispered and I lowered my gaze into his chest and I can see how his chest moving like he is in containing his..anger? He tilted my chin and he's looking for my gaze but it's hard to look him straight in the eyes. "Fucking..look at me-you don't remember leaving me without a word? Now you're coming back like nothing ever happened huh?" I can feel pure anger in his voice. He let go of my chin and he walked back to his table grabbing some pile of papers.

"You need to marry because that was the dying wish of your grandfather and it was stipulated in his last will before you'll inherit all his assets. And you can only renovate the mansion with my blueprint." he said and handed me the last will of my grandfather..and it was even notarized! As I was scanning it I realized it's a binding contract, damn it! I stood there in horror.

"I cannot believe this." I'm still holding the contract and out of words.

"You can't do anything about it..unless you want your inheritance rotting." he said evilly and I almost forgot I should be angry with him.

"I don't care about the inheritance or the money, all I care about now is my promise to lolo that I would take care of the mansion."

"And you can only do that because of my blueprint, I was there. You promised him you would take care of the house only with my blueprint." he's now grinning and I couldn't help but glare at him. This is unbelievable. "You now realize, you left no choice.." Yes, I fucking did.

I don't know what to say as I'm left with no choice but to follow what's in the contract. I cannot believe that lolo did this to me, but I can't blame him as he's witnessed my past with this man. I stare at him and I can't see any emotions or remorse in his face, he just stares back blankly at me. Oh God, I am screwed.
