JANE'S POV

I was left no choice but to follow Grey. I'm still not comfortable being called Future Mrs. Grey even though im wearing his engagement ring – yeah he gave it over dinner when our parents came over but its more of his mom asked him to hand me the ring ahahaha.

We also met the stylist, went with the flow of taking measurements and shit but we have agreed to wear our dress uniform on the day of the wedding which will be 2 weeks after my training.

1st attempt failed – still in shallow waters.

2nd attempt took a few more seconds before I fell – baby steps Jane, baby steps.

3rd attempt I was finally doing it right when I saw from my peripheral view how a banshee approached Grey and placed her hands in his arms. Yeah I fell – I don't know if this what you call being jealous but all I know is that I wanna strangle her and throw her to the bottom of the ocean but not without wrapping her in a trash bag and snapping her C1 vertebrae.

When she placed her hand in his bare chest and he didn't even move that's it. I brought my board on shore left it there then went for a swim and I didn't spare Grey a glance cause I don't wanna see whatever they're doing when I emerged from the waters I was quite far from the shore. People looks like ants from my point of view much better the erratic beating of my heart was starting to calm but the sun's burning my skin so I only lasted there for a couple of minutes.

I swam back and found Grey beside my board talking to someone else on the phone. He flashed me his toothy grin but I ignored it I was about to pass by him when he grabbed my arm and hand me his phone. I took the phone without asking who the hell it was

"yes?"

"princess, how are you?"

"Dad, im good and I missed you." I really missed my dad

"I was wondering if we can expedite your wedding?"

"ha? You know I can't skip my training and –" but I was cut short

"it'll be presided by a Judge then once training's over it'll be the church wedding." He said but I can tell he's a bit anxious

"what's the rush dad?"

"ah well you see the project Christian and I are working on uh another company from Japan took interest on that's why we I were asking if we could expedite the wedding so we can seal the deal within the month." So that's why

"I don't know Dad, it depends on what kind of wedding you have in mind cause I don't want –" I was cut off again arrggghhhh

"it'll just be before a Judge, you and Grey then us your parents after the ceremony signing of papers then we eat lunch then that's it." Sounds inviting but I know better than to assume

"who'll be there at the lunch?"

"us wit some friends." Just as I thought trust me when they say some friends that could mean the reception hall will be jam pcked

"then NO."

"ha? Princess? Please I beg you Chris as already agreed but he told me to ask you too." I plopped on the sand next to Grey then sighed

"on 2 conditions." I gave in

"anything princess."

"one, on lunch it'll just be me, you and mom then Grey and his parents NO ONE ELSE!!!! Two, it'll be this coming Sunday not any other day!"

"consider it done, princess. Your gown and Chris' suit will be delivered to your house later today."

"I love you princess, take care."

"love you too dad and regards to mom." Then he terminated the call

"are you sure you want to do this Jane?" Grey asked

"do I have any choice?"

"Yes, we always have a choice."

"Grey we both know that despite them holding us against our will they mean well – thousands if not millions will benefit from that project especially us Asians. And if my memory serves me right that's the main reason we agreed on this setup."

"initially yes that was my reason but now it has changed." He said as he held my hand I pulled my hand but he didn't let me go then the banshee returned

"Paul please don't tell me this – the banshee pointed her pink nails at me – is the best you could get as my replacement?" she paused as I glared at her "oh honey don't you worry youre just a temporary replacement." As she blew her nails as if drying it

Grey helped me stand but still didn't let go of my hand – he'd better be or else hmmm

"Amanda!" Grey said in a low cold voice

"what?" she asked feigning innocence – oh God forbid but I wanna rip her head off

"she's not temporary cause she is my fiancé and –" she cut him off

"bitch what did you do to Paul? I know you're just after his money and you'll dump him once you've got what you want." That's it ive had enough

"you can have him if you want but the question is DOES HE WANT YOU?" I said raising a brow challenging her when she said nothing

"that's what  I thought now get your sorry ass out of here!" I told her and when she didn't move Grey squeezed my hand and motioned me to go. We left the banshee alone.

I was fuming earlier cause of the show made by the banshee the caressing and all but it went flying to the window when this man beside me held my hand and introduced as his fiancé to that banshee and even told her that im not temporary.

Im ecstatic but still afraid and full of but's and if's. You cant blame me im new to this whole thing, I never had a romantic relationship prior this the closest I had to a relationship was with Paolo unfortunately he knew all along that I like him and he just go along with it – PAASA! But that was high school freshmen days and im way over it.

I know l like Grey and he's rubbing on me. Ive come to love his company but somehow distanced myself cause I really don't know how to act and all.

Over lunch he apologized for what happened. I noticed he's been feeding me like im malnourished

"do I look like a charity case to you?" I asked that made his brow arc

"ha?"

"you're feeding me as if im malnourished."

'oh that. Its because you'll need all your energy starting tomorrow cause training outside will start. No more classroom setups. You need to condition yourself not because you're my fiancé we'll go easy on you."

"I know that and don't worry I didn't expect you to. Anyway I appreciate the gesture but I don't wanna get indigestion." I said smiling

"so we'll get wed this Sunday?" he asked

"yeah, having second thoughts?" he smirked – not a good sign

"me? No never! Well as you can see after the wedding comes..." he paused then wiggling his brows and smiling like a mad man

"PERVERT!" then he just started laughing

"after the wedding nothing will happen and everything remains the same!" I said confidently

"there is, your last name and you will be Mrs. Celestine Jane C. Grey." He said sweetly and I love it

"correction, COLONEL!"

"as you wish Colonel Grey..." he whispered in my ear as his lips grazed my earlobe that sent tingles down my spine – I dock my head down to hide my redness but I think my ears gave me away
