Marrying Gray (VIB SERIES # 2)

Kabanata 3

I'm biting my lips as I heard the host calling my name along with his name. I unconsciously clench my fist. I can feel it sweating. My mind is clouded of running away at this god damn party.

Time passes by rapidly and it's our engagement party. How funny it is that we were just talking about the merging of our companies and planning about our wedding, arranged wedding. How the Cantellon negotiates with Dad and how dad deals with all of their terms. Am I really his daughter? Their daughter?!

I  step in the stairs case and the guy beside me hitch up my breath, his proximity makes my system insane, which is I find weird... The greek God is beside me, his cold aura is digging up in every inch of my body and system, it's making me frozen. He didn't even manage to glance at me as I stare at his sinful handsome face. I wonder how many women run after him, surely hundreds of them or many as I don't know.

His height stands tall, about 6 feet. His manly scent invaded in my nostrils and it's fucking addicting like a drug, his presence can make any woman's knees tremble and lost their sane mind.

I exhale and try to calm myself why am I reacting like this, he is even a stranger to me.

"LET'S WELCOME MR.ERRON GRAY CANTELLON AND MS.SCARLET AURORA GONZANO! "

We both climb up the stairs. Smile plaster in my face as we come out from the curtain.

All guest clap their hands like they were please at what they saw, but not me, I don't love this guy. Every single girl's dream is to get married to a guy they love, the guy that they wanted to spend the rest of their life with. After we're married surely the marriage will not work out, not even spark happen. I don't even know this guy, any single thing of him. I only know is that he is a freaking god.

My breathing stop when I feel warm fingers intertwine with mine. I bite my lips as I only know one person who's holding it. His name screams and coated my mind. My cheeks flush as I slowly look at him beside me, but he's just staring at the people with no expression, his usual cold eyes are staring at the people like he does nothing to my hand. Parang walang nangyari, parang sanay na sya na magpakita ng ganoon sa harap ng tao. Does he even know the rapid beating of my heart because of what he did? And why the fuck my heart is thumping like crazy. It should only beat fast like this to the man I love.

The host talk again but I didn't hear him. I was just standing immobile. Thinking of the guy beside me who's holding my hand. Does he know how he affects me?

The next thing I knew is that, we go down from the stage as we go to our respective tables. My mom smiled at me but my dad just keeps silent as he stare at me well he's grumpy again. I roam my eyes but the Greek god was gone again. He's MIA.

Still, that greek God clouded my mind because of the warmth of his hands. How did he affect me like that?!

Many businessmen greeted my congratulations. If they just knew that this is just fucking arranged. That I don't even know the man I'm marrying.

I want refreshment so I went to the garden to grab some fresh air and tranquillities.

"So this is the real reason why you broke up with me... " I stilled at the voice I've heard. I can't move from my standpoint.

My heart beats incredibly fast and I can't move. Anxiousness clouded my mind as I heard his steps coming beside me.

I slowly turn my head to the side and there he was standing. The man who owns my heart for the past years and now. Sebastian. I miss his green eyes, his face, all of him. I miss everything about him. Oh god how can be my life sucks very much. If I could choose a man to marry, I would've chosen him.

My heart clenched in pain as I saw his smile tug on his handsome face still the same guy I love. I didn't tell him that I'm marrying someone and that is Gray Cantellon. My fear eats me up that he might reject me but the pathetic choose the worst option of breaking up with him.

I can still remember how he kneel in front of me to stop me from breaking up with him, how we cried that night. How many pails of tears I cry because of so much pain. I still love him. I'm the most stupid woman for letting go of a guy like him. A guy who always understands and supports me at everything I do.

I let go of the guy I love to marry someone I don't know. To marry that Gray Cantellon. Sebastian is my everything, he worth everything to me. I didn't expect that we would meet at my engagement party.

He is the reason why I always go to bars and get wasted every night. Hindi ko makakalimutan na itong lalaking ito lamang ang nagmamay-ri ng puso ko. Itong lalaking 'to ang mahal ko, kahit ngayon. Itong lalaking 'to ang gusto kong pakasalan.

His handsomeness screams more because of the black triple suit he's wearing. This man is the one I love indeed. The eyes that used to spark and scream with so much glee because of me, change. His eyes express agony, loneliness, grief, and pain. My heart stings as I know who's the reason behind that. It's me. It's you, Scarlet Aurora. I bit my lips to prevent my tears from falling.

"Seb..." I uttered his name with the pain I'm feeling. My heart is clenching because of pain because of his presence. I want to hug him so tight. I want to hold him. I want us back. But I know better. I would hurt him more if I'll stay.

"Sebastian.....I'm sorry..... " My tears fell as I stare at his pair of green eyes with so much pain.
