Simon"

Actually, I don't have any intention about my inheritance. 

since I've heard that it will be given to all the orphanages all over the world. Maybe my father has some reason. Who knows what and I don't want to think anymore. let be bygone be bygone. 

Maybe he really wants me to settle down for good, that's why he's so persistent. 

I was thinking of building up another business. and stand up on my own. 

But something in her chocolate eyes changes my decision instantly. 

After we talked about anything regarding our marriage. 

Although Candy is still looking at me like she wants to kill me 

I shrugged it only

I invited them to eat breakfast. 

the two of them are in front of me. 

Giving me the right spot to study there features 

Mr. Yantisco is indeed much older than my old man and his white hair is visible already together with his wrinkles. 

He wears a white long sleeve and black slack. maybe not a day younger than sixty. 

I change my eyes on her daughter still staring like a dagger but something in her chocolate eyes reminds me of some familiar feelings. And her lips always remember the kiss that she already forgot. 

shit what am I thinking... focus 

"Simon, do you already read the contract regarding your marriage?"

I instantly looked at her father. 

"I think so but not all of the content," I said not really sure

I got ferocious that day because I couldn't finish reading it. 

"have you read the page regarding in order for you to marry each other you two need to fall for each other?" 

"What!" we ask shouting in union. 

"you know that would never happen, dad!" 

Candy said immediately 

"We don't have to fall for each other for us to get that money unless she really wants to."

I laugh 

"in your dreams!" 

she said rolling her eyes 

"But once you two sign up the contract someone of your father allied will instantly investigate the two of you. He will send someone and that was in the contract." 

"Your father is gone Simon but he already planned this years ago and paid all for this marriage to happen." 

I stop and think before I talk. 

"well, maybe we need to use our acting skills big time."

I said as I just lay flat on my back in my chair and relaxed. 

"right pretty babe I said and give her a wink."

she almost dropped off the spoon as I said that. She looks shocked or something. 

really? What is shocking about that? 

I smile at her and she's back from being frustrated. 

"If that's so and you are serious about your plan, let's make this wedding perfect." 

Mr. Yantisco said in a happy voice. 

"ok, what do you think of having a party to officially announce your engagement?"

"Me I remind you I'm not still approved for all of this shit!" 

Candy shouts and stands up from her chair. 

"don't be so stubborn, pretty babe all of the life of our company employees is in your hands now, always remember that." 

"and what is your main reason for not approving? cause you're in love with someone else? 

to that someone who betrays you and makes you mess last night?"

"Lucky you I'm the one who finds you at that bar full of many bad guys."

I instantly regret what I said when I saw her eyes glisten with tears. 

She looks at me with so much hate. 

"I don't wanna marry a guy I don't love. much more a stranger like you..."

after Candy saying that word I feel something heavy in my chest 

she turns around after saying that

her father remains silent as I excuse myself to follow her daughter. 

I sigh and follow her pointed out the garden. I inhale the fresh air coming from the garden before grabbing her wrist and saying... 

"Candy wait! I'm sorry ok I didn't mean to say that word."

"I hate you!" she said in a low voice and bowed. 

"Yeah I know it's visible"

I said slowly as I looked at her feet wearing only nothing. 

"shit! where is your shoe?" instead of answering my questions, she said. 

"I don't wanna marry you"

 I sigh

"you say that already"

"Why did you make this hard for me? huh?"

I comb my hair with so much frustration. 

"why did we at least try it? 

not for you nor for me but for the company."

"Is that company more important than your happiness?" 

I chuckle as I put my hands into my front pocket. trying to calm myself. 

"I don't know what happiness is until today. I'm doing this because I want to feel more of this in the future." 

I say what's inside of me

"You're such a confused guy, you know that?"

"I can't understand you. 

you will smile then get mad 

you chuckle but frustrated 

you will be playful than angry" 

"If you give us a chance you will know a lot about me in the future. "

"why don't you try maybe I can help you to forget or at least make you smile again genuinely." 

"I don't know.. I'm not ready to get married. I'm only twenty-three there's a lot of things I want to do. and marriage is not on my list." 

hahaha

"I'm soon to be thirty but still not ready. how odd is that?"

but inside of me saying that... 

I need to do it because if not I'm going to regret it all my life. 

"I don't understand you" 

"it's ok I don't understand myself too."

"Let's make a deal instead of getting confused with each other, pretty babe." 

stop calling me that way. 

"way what?" 

she sigh

"that pretty babe thing Simon 

I don't want to be called that way

"ha! that way... any particular reason?" 

"just don't want to stop asking ok."

"But I like you calling you that way."

"But I'm not"

"ok pretty babe"

"Simon!" 

"what pretty babe?" 

"aarrgghh I hate you!"

I laughed louder for her to get annoyed more...
