The Matchmakers Choice

Lines drawn

"Why are you running away from me? Are you trying to ignore me? "

"What?" Rain said in confusion. When he looked into Ziva's eyes, he saw the same hatred and disgust she had for him yesterday.

Ziva continued, her voice dripping with arrogance, "I know Phayu was forced to marry you, but I don't know what cheap trick you used to convince his family." She then gave him a condescending look. "Whatever it is, I don't care what dirty trick you used, but I want to make one thing clear. I've been with Phayu for a long time, and we have loved each other since childhood. So don't even think about playing any games, because you will never come between us. I hope you understand your place."

Suddenly, the image Rain had of Ziva and the sympathy he had for her disappeared. He started laughing, looking at her face. "So, as you already said that you believe Phayu, I don't think you need to tell me anything," Rain said in a sassy way. "I didn't want to marry him, but it was just an incident, so you don't have to worry. I will never come between you, and as you both trust each other, just carry on with that. You should trust Phayu."

Seeing how Rain responded so easily and carelessly, Ziva's expression twisted with annoyance. She sneered, "Yes, I believe him, but I can't ignore the fact that Phayu is incredible. Everyone wants him. You're not the first and won't be the last. So, whatever your name is, let me give you a warning: stay away from Phayu. He only loves me, and he won't even look at someone like you.Have you seen yourself? Low-key, poor people like you always try to allure rich men. You're just one of them. Phayu is a man of status and name, completely out of your league. I am his first and last love. Don't even try to come between us. I will soon make sure you exit from his life. This is my place, not yours. I will be his wife, not you. Just because you married him, don't think you have any claim over him. If I find out that you've tried anything, I won't let you off easily."

Her arrogance was palpable as she continued, "I'll tell him that I don't like him staying with you. I'll make sure he stays with me and leaves this place, and you won't ever see him again."

Although, pride and confidence, was clearly visible on her face, Rain could feel that Ziva was also feeling angry and helpless. Rain didn't like her at all, but he still felt pity for her. Maybe it was the drawback of rich families that they couldn't marry their choice, and Rain felt bad for her. But if she was so sad, why was she hiding it? And why did she come to him instead of Phayu? She should talk to Phayu, not him. Right now, Rain was feeling like he had made a wrong decision by marrying Phayu. If he had known things would be this complicated, he would have never married him.

Rain took a deep breath. "If Phayu wants to live with you, then I will be happy for you both. You can surely ask him to move out," Rain said.

Ziva really hated Rain. The more she saw him, the more she hated him, especially how someone like Rain could marry Phayu. No doubt rain was beautiful in appearance and looked like an innocent person, but she believed that those who looked innocent were often the most dangerous.

Ziva shot him a venomous look. "Just wait, and yeah Don't get too used to the luxury you are experiencing here. Soon, it will all be taken away from you" she said before turning on her heel and storming out of the house.

That night, when Phayu comes home, there was a weird silence in the house. He couldn't see Rain anywhere.

"Where is rain?" Phayu asked a maid.

"Khun, master is in the bedroom."

Phayu went to the room but didn't think that entering the room he would see Rain's naked ass, as he directly opened the door, and Rain was changing his clothes. When the door opened, Rain jumped in fear and shock.
