IVAN

A half-week of bliss without a demon that kept on bossing me around. It was quite surprising that he was busier than his usual day, and it ended up that he had lesser time to nit-pick on me.

Of course, I missed his nagging.

I was up early, I gazed out of my window at the golden-like sky and was pleased to fix myself before the training starts.

My gaze went back to the bed where I looked at the side where that alien sleeps. It was lonely nights without his sleeping karate, I guess.

I went back to the bathroom to fix myself even more. I stood at the sink and applied some powder on my face. The bathroom door suddenly creaked open slowly. I turned around immediately to see who it was because I need to make sure it is not an intruder.

"Slow response. You'll be dead before you check who it was," Boss popped up behind me, and practical, I jumped out in surprise.

I clicked my tongue and turned my back at him. I focused myself putting powder on my face.

When I glanced at his reflection in the mirror, I met his eyes. "B-boss, may kailangan ka?" I asked and paused, waiting for his response.

He stared at me briefly before he turned his gaze away from my reflection. "Go out with me," he mumbled which made me look back at him.

Holyshit! "Kasal naman tayo, Boss?" I queried yet still embarrassed to answer his question.

He frowned before he cleared his throat. "I mean, you'll going with me... somewhere," he said and suddenly walked away.

His words confused me that I only watched him slowly walking away.

Nakain nito?

"Sa'n?" I asked and started to fix my hair.

He suddenly flashed back behind me to help fix my hair. I blinked many times as I watch his serious reflection in the mirror.

"Dress up, but no too much," he whispered in my ear as he put both of his hands on my shoulder and stared at our reflection.

I nodded my head slowly as I tried to hide that my heart went flip-flopped.

Puso ko, kalma lang before you jumped out of my mouth.

Boss opened the passenger door for me after I finished fixing myself.

"Boss, wala akong training maya?" I queried when he went it the driver's seat.

He looked at me briefly. "Of course, after this, probably, this midnight," he answered and started the engine.

Wtf?

It took almost a half-day until we arrived, Boss opened the passenger door for me. I frowned at his gesture.

"Trust me, no matter what happens," he said as he offered me a hand.

The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated—especially for couples. Plenty of warm yellow lights were scattered, candles that paired those lights.

Boss led me to a table for four people. A flashed of smile immediately beamed when his mother and I met our gaze.

I sat down at the table after the boss offered it. "Hello, ma'am—madam?" I greeted shyly.

She smiled widely at me as her eyes locked in mine. "You're looking good like me. It's nice that you're doing well with my son or else, I'll beat him up until he can't walk, again," she stated with a beautiful smile.

Again?

I bobbed my head in response because I couldn't find a better word to reply to her jest.

"Babe! I missed you."

My eyes widened when a leech wrapped her arms around my husband's neck and buried his face in her foamed breast.

I faked a smile in front of her when her attention landed on me.

"Oh, and she is?" she asked, pointing her fucking finger that I wish I could break it right now.

"She's my maid, a precious one," Boss answered that made me slowly turning my gaze at him.

I spluttered in response. "Yeah, precious one," I repeated and faked a smile.

"I see, our maid-of-honor," she said, emphasizing the "maid". "So, what are we waiting for?" she said and took a seat beside my fucking husband. She giggled irritatingly. "When we'll be our wedding, babe?"

I flinched and glanced at the boss that calmly smiling back at her.

I laughed slightly, facing away from them.

Yeah, I forgot. Our wedding was a secret.

I wondered maybe if we went back home, he'll divorce my gorgeous self.

I held back my emotion when I recalled my twin brother. Why did have to suffer under this demonic-bastard alien?

My attention when back when there was food served. My hand immediately reached for my glass of drink.

I almost dropped the glass of juice when that leech sneaked a kiss on my bastard husband.

I can't take this anymore!

"Excuse me, I need to answer a call," I said and excused myself, faking a call. Good thing that someone invented the phone.

I sighed heavily when I got out of the restaurant.

"Grabi, kaloka," I muttered, wiping my sweats.

My eyes flew up when a man was standing in front of me.

"Nathan?"
