Warning: Matured scene ahead!

"You want a deal?"

He stifle a dreadful laugh that made me almost shrink from fear. However, I remain in my composture.

"Yes, if you want me to be your wife then I have terms and conditions."

He laughed, but this time it was full of sarcasm. "Terms and conditions, huh?"

"Of course." I wasn't born yesterday. Kung gagamitin niya ako para sa sarili niya, then might as well I'll use him too to fulfill my own desire.

Desire...

Confucius was right, life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Why? It's becuase of our unending desires where needs becomes unworthy and wants becomes worth a blood. And this man desires me yet I desire my freedom.

I almost bit my tongue when he suddenly leaned closer to my face, his arms were swift enough to cage me inside. His eyes were calculative yet enticing. Hindi ko maitatangging gwapo ang lalaki sa kahit anong anggulo at kung isa siguro akong tangang babae ay baka kanina ko pa pinirmahan ang marriage contract na iyon pero iba ako.

"What if I don't?"

I mentally smirked. Just as expected.

"Then, kill me instead."

Sandali kaming nagsukatan ng tingin nang siya na ang mismong sumuko. He sighed and that made me silently shouted victory. Tama nga ako, ang lalaking ito ay hanggang sa pananakot lang ang kayang gawin but I know he can't pull the trigger of the gun he's pointing at me.

"Spill it out, doll. Bilisan mo bago pa magbago ang isip ko." Tsk. Mainiping lalaki.

"Once I became your wife, I want you to promise me three things..."

"What?"

I showed him my three fingers. "First, you have no rights to go against the things I wanna do. Second, you won't do something that'll violate me. When I say no, it means no. And third, when I say you need to come, whatever you are doing, you have to be there."

The man snorted and even crossed his arms. "Is that all? I'm on it. You just discussed a husband's duty." He whispered the last line but I clearly heard of it. This stupid guy thinks highly of himself.

"I'm just starting, sir." I stated that made him jolt in his position, pati ako ay nagulat.

"May I remind you, Mrs. Ynares, hindi business contract ang kasalan natin. Tigilan mo 'ko dahil hindi ako madadala sa utakan mo dahil kahit hindi mo sabihin, gagawin ko ang lahat para sa 'yo," he winks at me.

Ew. What a disgusting line.

"May I remind you, too, hindi ko pa pinipirmahan kaya Ms. Shilton pa rin ako." Napaisip ako. "And if we get married, I can't use your surname in my work."

Natigilan ang lalaki sa sinabi ko ngunit pagkuwa'y sinamaan ako ng tingin.

"And, why not?! Kaya nga kita pakakasalan kasi gusto kong malaman ng lahat na akin ka 'di ba. I don't agree with that term," he pouted. Now, he's acting like a child.

"I'm doing this for your safety."

"Not a biggie, I can handle my self. At tsaka insured ako."
