Marrying Gray (VIB SERIES # 2)

Kabanata 6

"Scarlet?" Reality hit me when I heard Antony's voice.

"Ha?" I mindlessly answered him

"Are you okay?" He worriedly asks. He's staring at me, observing every move I do. Like he's a reconnoiter.

I fakely smiled at him and nodded.

I look at them again and I saw how the woman always kiss Gray's cheeks. And my dumbass fiancee won't even mind.

Kita mo nga naman napakalandi ng gago. Paano kaya pag pumunta ako riyan. I will really glare infront of them and tell the lady 'Biatch, I'm his fiancee' I will not do that though. She's not a bitch as what I'm seeing. Not a bitch, I'm convincing my self.

I'm cutting ties with Seb but there he is dating any girls. I should do the same right?! How about I should find someone as a rebound! Not good.

Ang kapal ng mukha nyang maglagay ng rules eh.

Gaga ko din eh dapat binigyan ko rin sya ng rules, bibigyan ko rin iyang tanginang yan.

"Antony, let's go, I need to do more important things, eh." Pagdadahilan ko, I need to get out there. The air is suffocating me, I want to explode.

He shrug at me and nodded afterward.

I don't know if they notice us but I hope they didn't. I should not care about that Gray Cantellon. That pussywhipped jerk. He's just an asshole.

"Bye, Scar. Don't worry, I'll go to your wedding next week. "I waved at Antony as I open my car's door.

Sad truth it is but I only have a few days now to enjoy as a maiden then next week I'm tied up, tied to someone I don't love and I don't know. To an asshole who's a cheater.

I look up and it's raining. It's evening and it's fucking raining together with this goddamn traffic. How can this be more worst?

My phone lit up and a caller popped up on the screen.

Sebastian...

My body got froze. He's calling me. Sebastian is calling me. Good heavens, Sebastian is calling me.

I slide the green button and answer it.

"Seb... " Is the only word that came out from my mouth

My heart is thumping fast like it usually does when he's with me.

"S-scarlet..." My heart sank as I heard his voice. It's painful and my heart is clenching.

I miss him.

"Seb.." I look up to prevent my tears from flowing as I step on the gas to move the car.

"I miss you, my Scarlet." His voice screams pain.

I silently drive and didn't answer him, I can't handle the pain and my sobs.

"Babe, I love you still..." He added.

I bit my lips. I love you too.

"Please babe, I know you still love me, we can go away too. Far away from that nobody knew us. We can build a happy life, a family. Babe, just please don't marry that Gray Cantellon." His voice is full of determination that made me pool my eyes in tears.

This is why love sucks so much. We both love each other but like forbidden fruit, we're not allowed to do so.

I pulled off the car beside the road, I can't any longer drive because of the tears covering my eyes.

"Babe, I can't live life without you here. Baby, please... I'm willing to do everything. Just, please... P-Please, come with me." I heard sobs from the other line.

Sebastian never cries. He's always smiling and sweet towards me. He had been the ideal and the dream guy, I have wanted to marry. We were close friends in college and he courted me after I graduated. So as the story goes I answer him yes.

Our relationship was close to perfection. We rarely argue and he always understand me at everything, until dad found out about our relationship.

He wants me to break up with Sebastian and I don't know why! I love Sebastian. If terms are in money too, Sebastian is a De Vallejo.

De Vallejo has much businesses here in the Philippines and Dad should've known that. But No, the day comes and Dad told me about marrying Gray Cantellon for the merging of our construction company. I broke up with him telling him I'm tired and I fall out of love. What a convincing liar I am for crying In front of him that night.

"I-I....C-Cant." My voice broke with sobs.

Funny how we both cry because of me. Funny how we love each other but ended up like this.

"Babe please.." I grab a fistful of my hair. I never heard him beg. I don't want to hear his plea.

I can't take it anymore, I hang up and drive the car fastly to our house.

I cry and cry in my bed. Crying doesn't defy your weakness, sometimes it's better to cry to ease the pain.

Sebastian was my first boyfriend and I thought he was going to be my last, I should have thought the other way round.

Life is unfair, isn't it? How some people experience happiness. Can I experience that too? The life of freedom! I wanted to be free, free from these bullshits. Free from marrying that impudent guy.

Surely our marriage fucks, he's cold and a player, I'm a no gamer that I can play well. He has many women in his sleeves and he wants to control me. He's mysterious to me that I heavenly doubt our marriage will work out!

He's dominant. He wants everything to be controlled. And I don't want to be controlled by him.

I heard a knock at my door but I never mind it and I force myself to fall asleep.

Days passed by and the day of my wedding come, the day of my life that I don't like.

"Anak... " Mom called me while I'm having my makeup.

The make-up artist goes out and it's only me and Mom in the room.

"I'm sorry for forcing you this, but I hope you'd understand it's for you after all." Mom hugs me.

No, Mom, it's for you and Dad. I'm doing this for your will.

"Be good to Gray okay?" she wiped her tears and kiss my cheeks.

This is it. This is the day I am marrying Gray Cantellon. The day that I'll be tying myself to that bastard.
