The Missing Element (Rich Daughters Series #2)

24

"I'll do the wedding."

After I found out who's the girl he was going to marry, I did the most impulsive decision, marrying the first daughter of Gleason Family.

Asha Faye Gleason.

I heard It was originally her sister, but she has a boyfriend, so Asha step forward to save her. It was unplanned. It seems that she forced herself to do it because her sister begged her. So I did.

She was my crush eversince I entered University of Roosevelt. That was when I saw her at the Paradise Cafeteria. She was with her three friends, Zierah is one of those. I knew Zierah because she is low-key famous, the daughter of Roosevelt. The girl that almost everyone never dare to picked on. Great! She has a best group of friends.

That time, Asha wasn't doing anything but just keep teasing her friend, and I found her cute already. After that, I admired her secretly.

Before, I believed that being in a relationship is just a piece of shit and a waste of time. I always reject those women who confesses to me, including those women that my friends arranged for me. If it's not Asha, then it's always a no, until it will be her.

It was a big win for me when It was her I am marrying, even if it's an arranged marriage. I was expecting that she might hate me, because of course! Of course she didn't knew me at all. I was getting ready to make her mine, no matter what it takes and how long it will be.

Our first encounter didn't go well. It was at the bar! I fucking bumped at her and even spill the liquor on her dress! I was cursing myself so hard that time. I even wanted to punch myself.

"You should check your way, miss."

I was so close of removing my fucking tongue when those words came out. Like what the fuck? Of all many things I could say, it was that trash sentence that came out. Bullshit!

After that day, I received the information that she was doing the wedding instead of her sister. I was kinda nervous this day, our dinner meeting with both of our parents. I was really nervous because of what happen in that bar. I hope she's not mad at me, but it was impossible.

When I got back from restroom, she was already there. She was surprised to see me. Maybe she doesn't know that it was me she's going to marry or she overlooked it. I wasn't surprised at all because I already knew her. She wasn't aware of that.

I pretended that I am not interested on her. And played cold even if I badly wanted to show off my fanboy-side over her. I badly wanted to show how much I love her from the first time I saw her, that she didn't noticed at all.

"I don't like you." She directly said. "Para lang alam mo."

It was a shot in my heart. I felt rejected by my long-time-crush, not even confessing. I pretended that I feel the same way when it's not. I don't want to scare her nor to bother her about my feelings. I wanted to take it slowly, and by process of making her fall in love with me, naturally.

To save myself, I ask her to get out of my way. But the fact is... I just wanted to leave already after hearing what she says. But she stopped me to say something that hurt me even more.

"Let's have an annulment right after the wedding." She directly said again with no fears at all.

For the second time around, I pretended that I agreed with it. But I badly wanted to object. We aren't starting yet, but she already hit my heart multiple times. I can't blame her at all.

I must not lose hope, not now... and never.

It was another big win for me because we are attending the same university. I got to see her around. I purposely go to the school cafeteria where there are no available seat. And of course, most importantly, she was in there. She was annoyed, but It didn't stop me from sitting with her. I was enjoying seeing her getting pissed on me.
