“Go away!” the man snapped at the new voice.
With renowned strength, I pushed the man off me as I staggered and almost fell but strong and muscular arms caught me.
I giggled when I realized I was staring into beautiful green eyes or was it blue? It was difficult to tell, with how my brain was almost shutting down.
“You‘ re beautiful,” I giggled, touching his chiseled face that seemed to harden.
“You couldn’t just stay away!” the man snapped.

“Is he dead?” I asked.
The man shook his head, “No, he’s just unconscious. He’ll be fine in the

“You‘ re welcome, Miss. Now, where is your house? I need to take you back,” he asked.

“It will be alright,” he said.

I sniffled, “How? If only I could get married to a random stranger and present him to my family. After all, they’ve never met Javier.”
I giggled at my foolish thought and suddenly I clamped my mouth, my eyes widening in horror.
“What is it?” he asked me, alarmed.
But before I could speak, I threw up all
over him.
“Oops,” I giggled, then swayed slightly and passed out.

with bland decoration, it was obvious it was a man’s bedroom.
“Where am I?” I asked, aloud, looking around before my eyes landed on a handsome man with green eyes and messy brown hair staring at me. He looked like he was a few years older than me but he was still very good–looking.
“You‘ re awake,” he said.
“Who are you?” I asked.
He frowned, “You don’t remember?”
“Remember what?” I queried, checking the bedsheets and making sure I was still clothed.
“You owe me a twenty thousand dollar suit, wife, you threw up all over mine,” the man said.
I frowned, “Wife? What are you talking about?”

I shook my head as I stood up, “No, this is a mistake. Stay away from me.

His eyes gleamed with mischief as he stared at me, his lips curled in a smirk.
“What makes you think I want money?” he asked me.
“Well, what do you want?” I asked him.
“Maybe I want to stay married to you,” he smirked.
“That’s not possible, you don’t even know me. I’ll pay you any amount,” I

My eyes widened as I wondered what exactly I had told him.
“Who are you?” I queried.
