" I thought you said this was a bad idea, then why the hell are we here now?" I whispered to Rodrigo as I looked into the darkness, there was nothing to see.

“ Why are you whispering? We're inside the car,” He said as he looked at me before opening the car door and stepping out and I did the same.

" We're so going to get in trouble, what if that man wants to kill me and bury my body?”

" Can you just shut up you troll, call him, tell him you're here,” he said,

“ I'm calling him now,” I said as I placed the phone to my ear. It rang for several minutes and I looked around the bridge he asked me to meet him.

“ He's not picking," I said as I looked at Rodrigo with a shake of my head,

“ Try again," he said,

“ This is annoying seriously," I said as I tried again,

“ He's still not picking," I said,

“ Why do I have a feeling that he's watching us right now and he knows I'm here with you that's why he's hiding and we're not seeing anyone," he said,

“ That makes sense but he didn't give any instructions that I shouldn't come with anyone," I said as I looked around hoping to catch a glimpse of somebody lurking around but there was nobody.

" Wait, look, I think he messaged me,” I said as I passed the phone to my best friend,

‘ Apologies, but I don't think we can meet today,’ he read out,

" He definitely knows you're not here alone, let's go, let's go,” he said as I quickly rushed to the passenger's side and got in and he entered the driver's side.

Rodrigo started the car and drove us out of the damn place.

“ See why I said we shouldn't even consider this in the first place," Rodrigo said and I turned to him with a glare,

“ Excuse you, you were the one that advised me that we should go find out what he wanted to say. I brought it up and you said it was a bad idea but we ended up going and now you're saying it's my idea," I said,

“ One of us should have at least been the sensible one," he said,

“ Good to know you accept that you're senseless," I said,

“ Can you just shut it, You're giving me a headache, I'm trying to concentrate here," he said and I kept quiet as the car became quiet for a second before both of us burst out laughing,

“ You're so stupid you idiot how can you come out late at night to meet a man who just told you the color of suit you had on,” Rodrigo said as he laughed,

" You supported the idea that's why we ended up coming you dumb ass,” I said,

“ Okay but joke aside now, what if he's really that stalker, don't you think we should tell it to the police?" he asked,

“ No, I don't think want to," I said,

“ But you're not making sense Lilly, if anything like this happens again I'm telling the police with or without your permission, I'm being serious," he warned,

We both knew this was going to happen again, that stalker has been following me since highschool, I don't think he's going to just go away.

" Let's see about that.”

Rodrigo dropped me home before he drove off and I took a breath in before walking into the house.

I climbed up the stairs and was immediately greeted with my parent's voice arguing.

It wasn't something new, I was already used to it.

I just ignored them as I walked to my room to get my night's rest.

I had a tiring day and didn't want to butt my head in their problems.

They were adults after all.

I woke up with a groan as I stretched my hands before getting out of bed.

I walked to my bathroom as I did my morning routine before walking out of the bathroom and heading to my closet.

I decided to wear a red above the knee dress as I tied my hair up in a ponytail then I wore red heels to match and also a red bag.

I looked at myself in the mirror and was satisfied with my look before walking out of the closet as I picked my phone from the bed and walked out of my bedroom.

“ Good morning Mom did you…” I stopped when I saw who was in the dining room with my parents.

" What are you…" I was about to ask when I remembered that my parents were here and they already see him as their son-in-law.

“ Good morning Antonio," I gritted through my teeth as I walked to my mother's side to sit down but she stopped me,

“ A woman's side is beside her husband,"

“ We're not married yet,"

“ Practice makes perfect," she said and I almost rolled my eyes but I grudgingly walked towards the man I hated the most and sat down beside him.

“ What do you want?" I whispered so only him could hear me,

“ Patience future wife, you'll find out soon," I'm sure he knows how I hate the future wife endearment that's why he keeps using it.

“ We're glad you decided to have breakfast with us this morning," my Mom said as the maids started serving, my appetite already disappeared at the sight of this man.

“ Mom, I think I'll skip breakfast, I've got something to take care of in the office," I said and was about to stand up,

“ What nonsense, your fiance came to have breakfast with us and you want to leave, sit down," my Mom said and I heard Antonio chuckle.

“ Fine," I sat down with a groan,

“ Please make sure you don't skip meals, I don't want you getting sick," the bastard had the audacity to say as his hand touched my cheek.

“ Get your fucking hands off me," I whispered with gritted teeth and he only chuckled.

“ Don't they look so cute," My Mom said and it angered me even more.

" What do you want in my life? Why won't you just fuck off?" I asked in spite, once again for only his ears.

“ Why don't you wait till Saturday, your questions would be answered,"

Saturday?

Fuck, another painful reminder that we were supposed to get married Saturday.

Fucking hell!
