I'm Married To Pain

Chapter 10

"I can't even say in words how proud I am of you, son." The president called us in his office together with his wife, Rose. "Don't get me wrong, honey." He turned to me. "I'm talking about Jared's being responsible in his own mistakes. You don't leave her, okay? Never."

I can't believe it. These billionaires are all infront of me, smiling like I'm some kind of lost treasure. I tried to return the smile back but I failed to hide my nervousness.

"Don't worry sweetie, we'll fix everything for you and the baby. Should we go for a shopping next weekend? I hate being with these impatient men with me." Rose laughed at her own joke.

It's funny, however, I am just too nervous to even laugh. I just smiled, anyway.

After that, Jared took me to my apartment, saying my mom is waiting for us there.

The nervousness infront of Jared's parents is triple infront my mom. But instead of giving me a slap, she pulled me in a hug. Gosh, I love this momster all my life!

"Actually, Jared came to Seattle last time and knelt down for your hand. He pleaded me to trust him but since I know he can make you happy, I gave him my blessings."

I looked at her green eyes that looked like Avril's but not like mine. "What about dad?"

She smiled. "No, darling. Don't worry about your dad. I already told him that. Though he sounded so jealous, he considered your feelings too. After what happened to Nathan, we only wished for your happiness to come back. And now, here it is." She looked at Jared, who bowed with all respect to my mom. I appreciate that, bad boy. "Are we still gonna hold it back to you?"

Well, if it's not obvious, my mom is still the greatest. I'm young for this but they accepted it.

I looked at Jared. Nate should never worry. I got a good man with me.

Months passed. My usual thing was to hang with Jared's mom and my doctor. Mom visited me only when I ask for her. She's very busy with my gown. And yep. She's kinda tailoring it for me. Everything else, Jared insisted to do the rest. His mom actually planned for everything with a little opinion from my mom. And no opinion from us. All I had to do is take care of our baby.

I am currently staying at Jared's apartment. So far, our relationship is almost like what Nate and I had. He gets to the office every morning and comes home to me. About his school, well...

"The university is not my school. It's my playground. My real school is the office, itself." That's what he told me before.

True story. He is trained in the office, hands on. So why bother studying at school?

Today is actually Jared's bachelor party. Unfair for me since he doesn't want me to have mine.

"What will happen to a bridal shower party when you only have Gina with you?" Jared told me that. It was painful, knowing that I have very few girlfriends... or girlfriend, reality wise. But that's the truth.

Actually, I am more concerned with my tummy. It's already five months now. And it's quite big. I'll look stupid with my gown. But I trust my mom. I know she made the best gown. Especially that the materials were bought from Paris by Rose and herself. Must have been really expensive. And I bet, mom's loving this whole rich and famous in-laws now. On the other hand, Dad's on his flight back here so I'm guessing he'll be here anytime soon.

*** Cley's POV

I entered the bar. Jared's throwing a party before his precious playboy time finally ends. He's getting married in two days. I'm gonna miss this dude. Everyone's lives are nearly boring now. Jcee's digging himself in his office, Jared will soon marry Ash, and Tyler... Tyler's in a big problem. Too big. And I'm left with nothing. I should probably go to Korea and find my inner self there.

But that's a joke. Sure thing, if I will be going to Asia, it will be Tokyo, where cars are wilder than beasts.

"Ey. Are we going to call Jcee?" Tyler interrupted my thoughts. I looked at Jared, who seemed to just push the idea away.

Tyler just shut his ass up. He better not say another word or Jared will glue his lips together.

We settled in a closed bar, inviting our whole organization body. Everybody's twirking, having body shots, some of them were under the influence of drugs, they put the whole place down.

A guy dressed like a bride, showing his ass in his wedding dress, took all our attention. These guys are all crazy!

"Delivery for Jared Wills!" Zack, our buddy, called out and everyone silenced. Though Jared is not as eager to look, he took a little peek at the door.

There, entered two sexy girls, dressed in a sexy formal attire, showing their cleavages and hot thighs. They approached Jared, which made him smile a little.

They are slowly taking their clothes off while doing a sexy dance. I envy this guy. Really.

"You didn't invite me?" Jcee's voice broke the gathering. Jared dismissed the two girls and looked at Jcee in a 'not so good' way. "Don't worry, I didn't come to mess with you. I came to escort someone who will surely mess your head."

Jcee is not a bad type. That's why, seeing him like this is making me want to punch him. I don't want to see him right now. Even Tyler is displaying the same face at him.

"Well, try and mess with me." Jared said, leaning his back in the couch. Jcee smirked at that.

And yep, he surely came with a great mess. I'm not sure of what to react or do next. All I can do now is to punch Jcee.

The sound of it echoed at the place, making everyone gasp. One look at them, they already left the place. Jcee smiled at me while wiping the blood off his mouth. This jerk! "I swear, I will never want to see your face again! You are out of this team!"

Instead of fighting me back, he looked at Jared, ignoring me. "I am good enough not to bring your tragic past to Ashley, because if I do, you will go through the same thing again."

With that, he left. Leaving the three of us and his little surprise to Jared. Stacy.

Yes. Stacy. That's why I punched that stupid Jcee.

Jared stood. His face full of hurt. At the same time, eager to have her again.

Before he can even step a foot. Tyler tapped his shoulder. "Don't let Jcee win this time. You have a Bride and a son now."

But Jared pushed Tyler off. "I can let him win this time." And pulled Stacy to a kiss.

Something that made Tyler and I leave. Screw this friendship! Screw this team! Screw them!

"You still going to his shitty wedding?" Tyler asked me before hopping to his car.

I thought of Ashley. "Just for the sake of her." Tyler just nodded.
