"Why not? Your Dad seems Like me so much! And it's weird but I feel home at your Family"
That's what she said when he asked her unbelievably with Her agreement at his statement-marriage the day after tomorrow.
He dialed his trustful lawyer's number...
"Arrange a private meeting with us tomorrow, we need to settle things before our marriage."
"yes noted Mr. Tycoon" and he ended the call already.
Ohh there's an odd thing here...Well, Air breathed deeply first before heading inside the mansion already.
He just got in the mansion by the way after sending Sassy home.
Mr. Timenez's Office...
"Air..." Mr. Timenez is sitting at his swivel chair while holding a notebook which is new to his sight but well he didn't bother to ask him already if what was that notebook about.
"Mr. Timenez...The day after tomorrow is our wedding" Mr. Timenez faced him with a smile at his lips. It's an odd for Air coz Mr. Timenez wasn't like that in his usual aura.
"So you had really settled things starting from that already Air? That's great, I'll prepare my grandacious suit already then" that!
He seems so excited in every detail about their wedding specially when he's talking about Sassy.
Oh yes he's not like that in usual. Maybe he's just being too excited, Old people are just like that in usual...am I right?
He convinced himself not to think unusual at Mr. Timenez and just think of his success later on.
"Of course, things are always settled for me. Soon enough we'll gonna sue Mr. Sanchez already and have our revenge...Mr. Timenez" then he smirked with that.
Sassy at the mansion seems wasn't yet moved on with what just happened an hour ago. She just took a shower lately and wore her usual night wears already then excitedly wore the ring again.
"look, looking so perfect huh. Seems like this ring was destined to be mine... " she said while looking at her finger where she placed the ring from Mr. Timenez.
Knock, knock...a knock interrupted her.
"Come in" she responded and the door opened the next. It was the new maid who named Sara "Miss Sassy...Manang is asking if you had eaten dinner already?"
"hm I've eaten dinner already with Mr. Timenez" Sassy answered without facing her so she didn't see what a reaction Sara has at her face the next. Sara seems feeling butterflies at her stomach for her boss! They didn't expect that the two will be having a date or should they think a romantic date!
"wow that's great Miss Sassy I'll report it to manang then"
Sara was going to walked out at her room already when Sassy asked...
"Did my phone received anything?" she asked while still looking at her fingers.
Sara suddenly stopped and remembered one thing.
"Ah yes Ms. Sassy. Your Dad called you several times...hmm should we give him a call back then?"
Sara's about to walk again coz Sassy didn't say anything so maybe she should move already and take her phone for her and make a call. But...
"No...no need let alone call him back, thanks for informing me. All of you can rest already" and there Sara just nodded and walked out her room already.
Sassy stopped focusing herself at her finger and started to think something.
Why would I call him back? I more love this days that he's not here. He should still take another long vacation indeed...
Then she remembered the scene lately again with Air's Dad. That was the first time she hugged someone's called Dad.
Coz honestly ever since she was born she haven't yet felt being hugged by a Dad, her Dad. She didn't felt him being her Dad.
That's why when she felt comfortable and even felt home at the Timenez's.
She finally decided that she would rather have them as her family than what she has right now. Feels like she found her long lost true Dad's presence already in her life.
So about the said marriage? She decided to agree with it already as Air was the son of Mr. Timenez whom she wanted to be a family already.
"It's a win win situation by the way. I'll be a part of their family with the sense of true Dad's presence and I'll be tying myself to the man I've ever loved." then she looked at the other ring from Air which is placed near the ring from Mr. Timenez.
And there she suddenly frown
.
"What the-is it Dejavu? You seems familiar to me huh" she asked at the nonliving thing ring from Air.
That ring seems familiar for her so she tried to remember where she had seen it. But then 30 mins had passed she haven't yet remembered where. So she finally surrendered as her eyes demanded to close already for a sleep...
The next day...
Sassy was woken up by a ringtone of her phone. Someone's calling her that 6 early in the morning and it was...
"Who's this?" she asked with irritated voice. Then in her surprise it was...
"Air. We have to talk later at my place with my lawyer" then he hung up already.
And Sassy finally noticed that her mouth is in O shape already. Oh did Air just called her without knowing how he got her number? It made her feel electricity suddenly when she thought that He must've STALKED her-his future wife!
"The hell! Stop dreaming Sassy will you?! Yuck let's go take a bath already tsk!" then she woke up fully already and headed the bathroom.
"Mr. Timenez we're so sorry for our Miss Sassy's...She'll go down later already don't worry.
Maybe she's just beautifying herself for you" manang explained. Sassy weren't yet done and Air had arrived an hour ago already to fetch her.
"it's Ok manang, it seems that she had all the time in the world" he said sarcastically. And turn his face at his phone where a text popped at the screen. Mr. Cruz updated him already that he's at his house already.
Damn it! Sassy you're so inefficient! I should have finished this thing this time already.
He then suddenly stood up and going to walk towards the stairs already when she finally walked out of her room looking teenager with her simple but cute get up. Sassy's wearing a black skirt above the knee and an orange off shoulder top matched with her white rubbershoes.
Then she walked peacefully down the stairs. And looked at Air who's looking serious and very formal with his expensive 3 piece suit at this modern days. He looked handsome as ever! But he looked like a 5 year older brother for her at her get up.
"You don't have any time management, let's go" then he walked out first already after scolding her. Well she just followed him, in fact she intentionally didn't mind the time management!
But then when she remembered one thing, she became excited and asked...
"Am I going to see Dad again? I missed him already" while observing the way they're heading while he's driving.
"No" he simply replied. Then Sassy stopped looking outside...
"Then where are we going? You idiot" she said without any hesitation.
"call me idiot again and you're dead, Sassy" Sassy just "tsk" then she just got silent all the way going in whatever they're going already.
After 30 mins they finally arrived at the place-Air's house...
Sassy suddenly stopped and didn't move... Just looking at the house from inside his car is so amazing. The house doesn't seem just a House itself coz it looks like a mansion!
"What are you still doing? Let's go!" Air impatiently said and Sassy came back with her senses again.
Well this isn't her first time to see a house which is like a mansion already, and FYI she's not an ignorant one. She was just kinda appreciating the design of his house. She seems loved the color red-orange with black motif.
She just followed Air then they stopped at the big sala and noticed a maybe 40 years old Man in black suit also but he wore loose one. Air introduced her to him and...
"I'm Mr. Cruz, Mr. Villion's lawyer, Miss" the lawyer introduced himself at her.
Ohh so this was his trustful lawyer...
Then they sittled already with each own master couches and the sofa for Mr. Cruz.
Mr. Cruz brought out an envelope and introduced to them the content of it about Marriage of Convenience.
Sassy didn't wonder anymore, that night they'd talked about having a marriage of convenience already. But still they're going to have a wedding ceremony, an exclusive one just for important persons.
"you just have to sign in here Ms. Sassy, Mr. Villion had signed his already." then Sassy took the pen and signed in there. Then his lawyer finished his work for that day already.
Well by the way Mr. Cruz is a professional lawyer and he was Air's Uncle, his Mom's cousin. So he trust him a lot.
"Congratulations for the two of you, I'll be heading out first already" Sassy just smiled while Air nodded.
Then they're left inside the house already. And no one started a conversation when Air suddenly opened up his rules and regulations.
"We'll be having a rules to each other In our married life. I had finished mine already and I can discuss it with you now. Do you have anything in your mind already" is he even asking? -_-
Sassy just frowned, she must think of her rules for a long period of time like duhh.
"Ok I'll tell you mine already" then he signaled his secretary Mr. Padilla to bring in front of them his rules hich is neatly printed at the paper inside of an envelope.
It was a two copy rules of him so they had each others paper to look for. But still Air have to discuss it so that they'll clarify things properly.
"I only have 5 rules as you can see... First is don't dare talk to me like we're friends" then Sassy frowned and commented l...
"That is...We're not really friends you should know that, but are we going to snob each other whenever those persons who knows that we're engaged-"
"You're so talkative. Of course that's exemption, we'll act as a couple In front of them but when they're not around we'll turn as strangers to each other. Got it? As simple as that Sassy, can you-"
"I know, just proceed tsk!" then Air continued.
"Second, don't ever nag me or else-" but Sassy cut him ahead "or else what?"
"Tsk! You'll know later on. Third, don't be too clumsy means don't ruin anything inside my place, you'll be living with me here soon so you should know how to behave well. I don't need ignorant people-"
"I'm not ignorant, you're too judgemental. FYI I'm rich as well like you, don't underestimate me" she demanded.
"Whatever. Fourth, Don't interfere with my hobbies-"
" I know already, I'll never ever interfere with your woman by the way"
"Tsk! Good then... And last, don't cheat or better don't betray our marriage"
"Huh? Don't cheat or betray? I should demand unfairness with that, your fourth rule you're cheating on there. And me I cannot? You're impossible!" she blurted and let go of her copy and crossed her arm at her waist.
"you don't get it. I thought you're not stupid. That fifth is acceptable, why? While you're inside of our marriage you should make a good image specially in front of my family and to my company's personalities, you get it?" Sassy didn't answer him.
She just started formulating her rules already. Then she took a ballpen at the side table, looks like ballpens are accessible at his house anytime coz he's a business man.
Then she started writing her rules at the back of her copy that he had given her lately already.
"Miss Sassy you shouldn't" Mr. Padilla-Air's secretary tried to stop her already when "let her" Air allowed her do what she wants. After 5 minutes Sassy finished already.
"Ok I have mine already too. Here" then she handed him the paper and then Air started to read already. And he only found out that it's just like his rules.
"I've told you already, you shouldn't follow my last two rules, Sassy. I'm dominant at this marriage. My Dad only wanted this to happen haven't you felt that?" then Sassy didn't respond coz she showed her poker face instead.
"This is none sense" Air lost his patience and is going to stand up already when Sassy asked "then what should I put in the last two slots? Can you give me any idea then?"
Air didn't move, he just looked at the paper again and remembered one thing that he didn't put at his rules that a woman should put instead. "You're the woman between the two of us, why didn't you think of forbidding an intimacy? Do you wished for an intimacy?" he then smirked at her. And Sassy suddenly felt her cheeks' hot...
"Huh? You wish! You're right, I'll put that at my rules" then she reached for her paper. But Air teased her.
"You didn't even put down there that there will be no sex between the two of us. Do you want me to give you a baby then?" another tease. Sassy's cheeks were really red that time already for sure.
"N-no! Stop being judgemental and give me back the paper!" then she used a lot of force to reach it and finally got the paper. But that moment is the only moment she had notice that they're in a wrong position already.
Sassy's at his lap already. So Sassy immediately stood up and acted like she's busy writing her rules again. And Air in the other side didn't move. And his secretary asked him...
"Are you alright Mr. Villion?" he then only remembered that he's still there. He must have witnessed the scene. So he felt irritated already...
"leave, I and Sassy will talk privately" his secretary just nodded and headed out already.
"there! I'm finished. Err here, fourth intimacy is forbidden and Fifth, sex is strictly forbidden. So we're done!" then she placed the paper above the table already and relaxed on her sitting position.
"Okay." then Air gathered the papers already and asked someone to reprint it. Then Sassy suddenly remembered one thing...
"Oh by the way, what will be the punishment then?" she asked normally to avoid the sense of awkwardness.
"About that. I prepared punishment already."
"Ok what are they then?" she prepared her ears to listen carefully already.
"It's just 2. First if you violated my rules you'll give me 5 hundred thousand"
"WHAT?! you're rich already right? Why money? And that's big already huh" she stood up while saying that. You don't know Sassy is very strict with money.
"Stop talking let me finish tsk!" then Sassy stopped and Air continued...
"I'll give you 1 million if I've violated yours. Happy?"
