Arranged Marriage to Mr.CEO

Chapter 8

I shook those questions out of my head and answered his question.

"I wanted to thank you for the medicine and chocolate from yesterday. Really appreciate it," I coughed once again.

Jake nodded and continued staring at the screen in front of him.

"Well then," I said.

Jake was different, he was cold and serious. I was a bit frightened by his reaction. There was a minute of silence coming from both of us. All you can hear is the keyboard typing at a rapid pace. I can feel the thick awkward tension between us.

"Is that all?"

I look at him blankly before responding with a simple, "Yes."

He nodded again. I was getting really frustrated by this man and his constant nodding.

"Well are you going to invite your fiance for lunch or something or are you just going to nod again?"

"Kaitlyn, I don't need your comments right now. Can't you see I'm busy?"

I'm engaged to a jackass. Great.

I started coughing again like a maniac.

I stared at him with confusion and walked out of the building. There again she was. The attention seeking hoe. Seems like she's trying to get at my jerkass fiance but isn't getting nowhere with that. I smiled at the thought of it.

"Well who do we have here?" she looks at me.

"Honey your staring at this beautiful masterpiece, thank you for noticing."

"Haha, not even in a million years. You're not even close to being pretty. So don't flatter yourself."

At that moment, many flashback came back to me of when I was bullied for being 'Ugly'.

"Well guess I'm a natural because I don't need to cover myself in makeup in order for guys to find me attractive. Honey, if beauty is what you call yourself, you must be kidding because you're not pretty inside or out. I don't care if I'm sexy or not. At last I don't have that ugly personality of yours!. I could really care less. So you can keep talking but you're just literally wasting your limited precious words," I said without a regret before walking away.

She stomped her heel and let out a sigh of anger.

I walked away and before the elevator door closed, I smirked and waved her goodbye. I'm not scared of that bitch.

By the second, my coughing was getting worse.

I made my way to my car and got in. I quickly turned back when I felt the presence of someone near my car. I looked everywhere but I didn't see anyone. I felt stocked. I drived off and ignored it again. I began driving my way to my parents' house. I got there quick. I saw the mansion and i began to get butterflies in my stomach. When I arrived, I was greeted by Garrett My older brother and his wife Mandy. My brother hugged me and asked if I was okay. He looked worried sick.

"Are you Okay?"

"Yes, just a little sick and tired."

"Have you ate anything?"

"No."

"Come in, mom said you'd be here so she made breakfast."

"Yes, Thank you." I smiled

"So I heard you guys made up? Mom apologized?" He asked, his eyes filled in amazement.

"haha, yeah. She did," I smiled.

I began to cough again.

"Be careful, come on lets get you inside."

We walked in and as the day flew by, It was already 7:48 pm when I was about to leave. I talked to my dad and assured him that everything will be okay. I forgave him and we had a father daughter conversation for a while. I talked to my mom and she even brought up my wedding with Jake but stopped after she realized it was a bit too soon. I also talked to Garret. He asked if I wanted to work with him by managing the family's business. This meant that I'd have to quit my career of becoming a lawyer. It got to me at first but I realized that business was always my interest. My day had gone from okay to great. It was finally time to go home, I said my goodbyes and hugged everyone. I still didn't feel good and needed to get some rest. I left and as I was driving, I realized I needed some tampons. Good thing there was a walmart 5 minutes away from my parents' house. I parked and got out of the car. Suddenly, I again felt the presence of someone following me. I turned around and nobody was there. I turned back around and out of nowhere a man attacks me and presses a wet napkin against my nose.

After that, I fell into deep sleep...
