chapter 2

-Vleen Xivey Villamor's point of view-

"Dad, what you are making me do is hard." I spoke irritatedly in front of Dad.

We are here now at his company's office. Yes, we have our own company, a real estate company. But I don't work here. Actually, I really want to work here, but Dad is the one who doesn't want it. So now I am working in another company. I am a brand manager at a fashion company. My co-workers know that my Dad has his own company. I can't say it's my company because I don't have any shares or contributed to it.

Dad's is not mine, he doesn't want to just give everything he's worked for even though I'm his daughter. Look, there is a condition for him to bequeath all his property to me.

I understand him, he just doesn't want me to be lazy and he doesn't want me to depend on him. Dad is like that, you should be independent.

He has a saying in life. Walking alone makes you stronger.

Little by little, I'm also convinced.

"I didn't tell you to rush your search. Maybe you really want to get all my possessions." He replied while his attention was on his laptop.

I sighed.

"It's not like that, Dad." I defend myself.

But it's like that HAHAHA!

"Just what?"

"I just want to secure my future, Dad. Besides, it's so that you can rest from running this company. You're telling me you're getting tired of it, aren't you?" I answered with a smile.

He nodded but still didn't pay attention to me.

"Why are you here?" He asked again.

"It's like I'm begging you to change your condition. Can you just not get married. It's hard to find Dad!"

"We've already talked Vleen. Let's start a family. So that I can see my grandson before I weaken completely."

"Dad!"

"Finding a spouse is a process. That's why I didn't give you a deadline, right? Because it's not easy. You still have a lot of time, take your time Vleen." This is a serious response.

OK! I said he won't just give away his possessions.

"If you can't give me what I want. Everything I have now will go to the charity your Mom used to support." This is a more serious response.

I was stunned.

I will not agree to that!

"Did you find anything?" Briar opened up to me. I was lying on my bed.

"You alone? Where is Pearl?"

"There is still work. So did you find something last night?" He asked again.

I sighed.

"I just slapped!" I almost screamed.

I heard her laugh.

"Told you there are no sensible women in the bar."

"But bro! The girl who slapped me is my type." I sat up suddenly when I remembered Cadillac.

Briar was eating while looking at me.

This man is obviously very hungry. It looks like he hasn't even chewed what he's eating, he swallows immediately!

"You're not bored?"

I smiled.

"It's like in the past I was looking for someone who was modest. But when I saw her, what I wanted immediately changed. Shit!" I bit my lip while imagining Cadillac in front of me.

"I wish I didn't come home right away to see how you were slapped. Hahahaha!" He laughed.

I took the pillow next to me and threw it at him with all my might. He roared when the food spilled.

"You idiot Vleen! You saw me eat!" He shouted.

I'm the one laughing now.

"Olol! Laugh at me! Pearl would have slapped you too."

"Me? Pearl will slap me? She loves me bro!" Now Briar was smiling.

Crooked! If I'm corny, this one is even cornier.

"Love you? Maybe you're still asleep?" I'm teasing.

"Tch!"

"If I were you, I would confess that to Pearl. Because I will go ahead of you if you don't form that." I'm joking.

He looked at me.

You stupid devil!

"Not yet..." his voice replied weakly.

I would have teased him because he looked serious. It's still scary to joke when talking about Pearl.

"Come with me later!" I'll change the subject.

"Where?"

"Go back to the bar, we'll look for my future wife."

"The one who slapped you?"

"Yes, I will take revenge on him." I said with a smile.

"Huh? You're going to spank too?"

"Yes, will be slapped on the bed HAHAHAHA!" I laughed out loud.

He grimaced as if he didn't understand what I said.

"Gosh, that's why no woman gets rid of you, you're so arrogant."

I stopped laughing.

"That's real talk!"

"Yes, that's legit."

"Nothing will really last for me bro. Because I didn't take any of my girlfriends seriously."

"You're really proud."

"Get used to it!"

I stood up and patted his shoulder.

"Where are you going?"

"It looks like you have no intention of accompanying me to the bar. I'll be alone, I'm independent after all!" I teach myself.

He grimaced.

"Okay, come back right away, I'll wait for you!" I heard his reply before I finally got out of the condominium.

"Boss! Go back!" The bartender smiled at me last night.

It was afternoon and there were a lot of people going to that bar. It's just a fact that many people are boring in their lives.

"I have something to ask."

"What boss?"

"I know you saw the scene last night."

He nodded.

"It must hurt to be slapped, boss." It's still a response.

Too much! To be honest, I still feel it to this day.

"Do you know the girl who slapped me?"

He smiled at me as a sign that he knew me.

"Is it always there?" I asked again.

He nodded.

"It's night here, boss."

"Why?"

"Because she's a waitress here."

I closed my eyes at what he said. I can't believe that woman works here.

"He's only been here for a week. I thought he was modest, but kicking and slapping him is terrible!"

I didn't notice what he said next when I spotted the girl I was looking for.

He came out of the kitchen of the bar. While walking she tied her long hair. I just stared at him until he finally sat on one side.

I left the talking bartender. I slowly walked closer to Cadillac. His attention was now focused on the phone in his hand.

I simply sat next to him.

"What the heck!"

I moved away a little when he spoke. He messed up his hair that he had just fixed.

I secretly peeked at what he was looking at on the phone. I also didn't see it because he turned it off suddenly.

"Are you okay?" I spoke there.

He looked at me, I could see his surprise.

"I-you!" He taught me.

I smiled casually.

"Your future husband."

He bit his lip and suddenly stood up.

"Hey just chill"

"Why are you here anyway?"

"Because you're here?" I also ask for a response.

He frowned, I also stood up so that we were both equal.

"What do you need from me?" This is an annoying question.

"yourself"

I know I can't get this girl that fast. But I'll try my best! I think if I offered him money, he wouldn't be able to refuse. I'm sure there is a big need for it. He wouldn't work in a bar if he was rich.

"We don't offer prostitution here, so you've come to the wrong place."

He was about to leave when I grabbed his arm. Even though he was surprised, he didn't show it.

"I need you desperately."

"What are you talking about? Aren't you satisfied with my slapping you yet?" This language is annoying.

I rolled my eyes.

"My face is now immune. Your palm will only hurt if you repeat it."

"I still have work, if you want a lot of women here, don't be me."

"200k a month!" I suddenly responded.

He was obviously confused by what I said.

"For what?"

"Be my wife" was the straight answer.

He walked away from me and couldn't believe it.

"Are you crazy!"

"300k per month?"

"Yah! I don't need that!"

"400k?"

"Are you wrong? You don't know me and I don't know you. Then you're going to ask me to be your wife? That's wrong."

"500k"

"W-what are you doing--" he stopped when I touched my finger to his lips.

"I'm serious Ms. Cadillac"

He blinked in shock. Maybe he was wondering how I knew his name.

"It's obvious to you that you need money. Just accept my offer. We'll just get married and we'll get divorced. Don't work for me in this place."

He was speechless right away.

"Deal? Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

"I-I don't know you."

"Then let me introduce myself. I'm Vleen Xivey Villamor. I need a wife to inherit all my Dad's property. And by the way, I need a baby too."

His lips touched.

I'm too desperate and I don't care!

"W-what do you think of me?" This stuttered question.

It was obvious that he was attracted to the money I offered him.

"I don't know you and I don't know anything about what you are going through in life, that's why you work in this place. But I feel that you badly need money. Be my wife, then the rest is your choice. It's up to you if you want to have a child with me or not I'll force you if you don't want to. Just marry me. Deal?"

Actually, even if he agrees to this, I will not agree that he cannot give me a child. I just said that the rest is her choice, so she wouldn't refuse.

"500k per month." I offer more.

I won't lose more than 500k, because I can get more from Dad when I give him a grandchild and show that I'm married.

"You're unbelievable..." he whispered to himself.

"Yes I am, if you don't want it's okay. I need to find another girl."

I pretended to turn back. But to be honest, I really like him! So I faced again.

"Argh! I can't find someone else! Can it just be you." I'm begging you.

Shit! I look miserable.

"S-Are you serious?" His voice is a bit weak.

I immediately smiled.

"I'm fucking serious miss!"

"500k?"

"Yes"

He swallowed. It is still hesitating and restless in its position.

"If I don't really need the money, I won't stop..." even though his voice was so weak, I could still hear it.

Tch! I'm right this girl has needs.

"Okay deal! It's just marriage! The baby, I'm not sure about that."

My smile widened. Smile success!

"Well, it's your choice. I won't force you."

As I said earlier, I will not allow him to not give me a child. I will do everything possible to get this girl together.
