Chapter 2

Shane Justin who was in the door didn't expect of what he is seeing. Shane knew Ira in his entire life, her dad and me is the only man she knew, he is sure of it. How could this random man easily kissed her like it's nothing, his lips twitch in displeasure. I did everything to be worthy of her I even try my best to be promoted as a director in their company, then plan to court her and right now his plan is ruin by this mediocre man.

"Hi, Ira, how are you doing? I didn't meant to disturb your rest I just want to know if your already well" while picking the box that fell from his hand and walk straight to Ira's bed.

"Thanks for the visit and concern Shane, I'm already well its just that the doctor didn't allow me to discharge yet... uhm... Shane I would like you to m---"

She was cut off by Shane and disregard the person who is with Ira.

"Ira, here's my gift to you hope you would like it, its ginseng tea and this fresh flowers for you"

"Thank you... uh... Shane"

He grabbed Ira's hands and he saw that her body stiffened because of this cheeky bastards action and even pretending that I am not here. He always cutt her off whenever she try to introduce me, what a child.

"I have a big news, I've been promoted as a director in your company!" I have to let this mediocre man know that I am a high profiled person that he is not worthy for her and to know how lowly he is.

"Congratulations" she said awkwardly while slightly pulling her hand but instead he get it back and tighted his grip.

Tsk, this man is getting on my nerves I may look like a rag in his eyes but his hurting Ira I can't make like this situation goes on. I have to stop this man and Ira looks uncomfortable.

"Hey" while grabbing the man's shoulder " I think you should already let go of my fiancée hand and she's hurting" and trying to break the hold of the man's hand but he even tighten his grip to her hand and I tighten my grip to his wrist to loosen his grip on Ira's hand. He face him up with a fake smile of my face.

" Weren't kids anymore to play tag right? So, please let go your hurting my fiancée." he even spell it out for him to understand it clearly.

He loosened his grip, shove his hand away and angerly looking at him.

"Who are you to dictate me?! Fiancée? Someone like you?" while mockingly pointing his finger to my face " you've gotta be kidding me, as far as I know only her father and me the only male she knows how can you be her fiancé?"

"And now it's three, I convince her to marry me and she said yes, so I'm her fiancé"

He turn to Ira to asked if it is true "Ira, is he really your fiancé?"

She is still in dilemma about her decision a while ago but she already said it yes to him.

"Yes,"

Shane mouth slightly open in shock, how can it be? "I never thought you already have a past long relationship with a man."

"No, I just meet him today."

"What?! How can you agree with it, without a thought?"

"I don't know, I just said yes to him"

"Have you even thought that he might to do something bad to you? or your family perhaps?"

"Hey, you! Are you after for her money or trying take over their company"

"I'm not after for her money as well as to be part of their company and I didn't know that she is rich. I'm contented with my job and I want to have a simple life with my wife."

"I know what kind of type of people like you, they hid their intentions while back stabbing the people that trusted you without their knowledge."

"I didn't think like that and I am a professor why should I lower myself just to destroy my reputation"

"A professor?" he said mockingly "oh, you said, you want to have a simple life with your wife? Don't drag Ira in your simple ambition in life she grow up in a noble family, how can you give the luxury that the family has given to her?"

"She doesn't need those, I may can't give her the luxury that she grown up to but I can teach her the beauty of the world she lives in. She's been like a prisoner all her life and I can give that freedom to her."

"You!!!...how dare slander their family as if they are a criminal."

"No, I don't said that you said that," he pointed it out "I didn't mean that way. What I'm trying to say is, why is that a beautiful maiden like her haven't gone out from her castle? That maybe develops a phobia or maybe some experiences that can cause her severe trauma that would impossible for her to heal.

"What makes you say so, you just have met her ? Are you also psychiatrist?"

Ahhh...this man is really irritating I have to end this discussion, he is only making excuses so that Ira would have a bad impression on me.

"No, but why do I have to explain myself to you, you're not a family member"

"You!!!...." in his anger he grab his collar and was about to punch him when the door open and suddenly Ira's sister enter the room speaking joyfully.

"Hi, sis! Did you already meet the---" what she about to say is hung on her throat of she about witness a gang fight in the midst of her sister's room. She saw Shane that is about to punch a man that looks so innocent and timid like her sister is.

"Shane, what happen? And what are doing here?"

"I'm here to visit and I want to know her condition if she's already okey but this scumbag tries to slander your family!"

She look at her sister who is now trembling and scared. "Ira is it true?" but she didn't answer and lowered her head.

To her surprise the innocent man hold both of her hand and gently squeezed "did I scare you...." in a smooth calm voice "I'm so sorry, I will watch my actions from now on" and continue to soothe her until he made her calm down.

She nod shyly, slowly move her face to face him up and a little smile form from her lips.

He tuck the hair that falling from her face "are you okey, now?"

Gosh, this two is been non stop flirting from each not bothering of who's the people around them "ahem..."

The two of them stop, like they were waking up from their own dimension of the world. Ira's face turns red like a ripe tomato, huh, got you! now I have something to tease you.

"William, thank you.... and this my sister Mira"

He hurriedly stand up and made a 180 degree bow "I'm really sorry that you witnessed a bad state circumstances, I'm asking for your forgiveness and will surely reflect my actions."

Surely this man is so sincere, she waves her hand that said she didn't mind at all. He can ease and calm my sister easily and I think my sister like him though she can easily see through it hahaha she's so transparent so cute.

"You are..."

"William Nelson." he extended his hand for a handshake.

She accept his handshake and then she remember the of the man who made the first appointment "oh... so you are Mr. Nelson a professor from NU. Nice meeting you here Mr. Nelson."

"Just William, Mr. Nelson sounds really old"

She laugh "I never thought that you can make a joke, William" she smile.

"No, not really... It is really nice meeting you Mira I hope we can get along in the future."

"Sure"

"Uhm... I have something to tell you though I know that it is too early, I truly like her and uhm... I asked the hand of your sister and she said yes. I am very happy that she will be part of me that I will cherish for the rest of my life, my family and to the future"

She's really is shock how did this man convince her sister to marry him... I even have a hard time to convince her to stop pursuing things that doesn't exist anymore but this man is not half a day yet he already convince her to marry him. Is my sister out of her mind? marriage is not a simple thing she have already put some cords in her hands that she have to carry all her life. She look at her sister but she is calm as the water of the ocean and even smile at her...like... What?! What the...the look of her face is more like yes I do. Huh?!!.

"Uhm, Ira I think we should tell dad and mom about it first, marriage is a serious vow you know, you shouldn't take it lightly"

"Okay, I know... William it is okay with you to meet my dad and mom?"

"Yes, I understand I will meet them and.... I think I should go now" while looking at the watch on his wrist " I still have things to do in the University, Ira call or text me if your bored in here" he give her a calling card that's have his phone in it.

"Okay, thank you for the visit and see you next time."

"Sure, and I'll be in touch, bye..." he smile and wave his hand and went out through the door.
