Consideration

"I will not say no to this, since you are the one who offered. But I sincerely thank you, Hunt. I know that I have been rude to you, and I also know that you know why I become like that. To be honest, I hated you and cursed you down to hell and even wished you to vanish right then and now, however I thought of a new beginning, I expect the better you who treats me better and respects me as your wife for two years." She spoke while they were still in the car, travelling on the longest road. Certainly, she wants assurance from him.

Hunt didn't expect to hear such words from her but it somehow calms him. He felt like he was released from being a sinner of her. "Let's be mutually cooperative, Krizzia. I bet two years with you will not be as boring as I thought." He said as he faced her. "I assure you that I will treat you better, and will never bully you." This sounds ridiculous coming from him. "I won't repeat the same mistakes, and if I do, please punish me. I won't protest."

Krizzia laughed at what Hunt said, especially the last one. "Really? You're willing to put yourself under me just for me to give you a lesson?" She exhilarately asked. Hunt seems to be serious although she can't help but laugh.

His brows furrowed at her reaction, "Do I exactly look like a living clown to make you laugh that much?" He's embarrassed because she almost shed tears while laughing, so he thought it that way.

Krizzia waited for herself to regain her composure before answering, she also wiped the tears which were camping in her eyelids. "It's not about it, Hunt. Don't overthink it." How could he think about it. That was hilarious!

"Then, what?" He's voice was frigid. A sign of his mood has gone bad. But it didn't affect her though. How could she tell him not to overthink it? It bothers him so why wouldn't he?

She lets herself enjoy the scenery from the outside as she outweighs a long sigh, "You're a man who can't fathom letting other women underestimate you, Hunt. I know because it was the personality I met before now. So, you can't blame me if I laughed hard. Apart from that, I'm just glad that you made such considerations and adjustments for me. I appreciate it."

The car stopped at Ark Ville, she and Hunt visited a certain house that was being prepared by the villa's staff, they must be really looking forward to Hunt's appearance.

It's an attractive three storey house with a modernized design. It's extremely large and huge that Krizzia couldn't afford to live in. Despite being cozy, only him and Hunt will live so, she suggests to him to find a simple that will be suitable for both of them. Nevertheless, it is for temporary living for two years.

"We will not take this house, thank you for touring us Mr Vin." Hunt said with a cold professional tone.

"I understand, Sir Hunt. Thank you also for visiting our villa here in Ark Ville." The staff in charge said politely.

Krizzia extended her hand as well to him, "Thank you for assisting us, Sir Vin." She expresses her gratitude to him politely.

"It's our pleasure, Ma'am."

After touring the Ark Ville they went to several villas but none among them passed to her liking. Hunt was just dependent on her, and he never protested. As of the moment, Krizzia and Hunt are eating lunch in a nearby Elysian house's branch.

"Can't we find another restaurant?" she asked with a glint of sly face.

He frowned, "Why? Don't you like what's written on the menu?"

She shook her head, "Everything looks tasty, it's just the price. It's expensive." She stated. The price is so much that she couldn't handle it, it cost her three or four times her salary! Money can't be wasted for just a mere food!

"It's on me, you don't have to worry about it, Kriz." He battered and called the waiter after.

Krizzia just sighs in defeat. Hunt neverminds about the cost, she forgot that she's with her so-called husband. A few moments later, the food was being served and they were eating silently.

"Hunt, I will be busy tomorrow. If you're going to search for me, I suggest you ring a call to me instead." She was the one who broke the silence between them, "And I have to clear things on my parents..." Leaving her parents without any reasonable explanation would definitely cause a heart attack to her father. She needs to prepare a long story to have their approval. Maybe, a thousand lies?

After all, she can't just tell them about Hunt. She knows her parents, they might be old but they are strict and traditional. It's not a precise idea if she will introduce him to them, when they are just in a contract relationship.

"I understand, I spare you a day or two to settle all the work you need to finish, because when we live together, I can't allow you to go to work anymore." He's like a possessive husband who creates a huge fence around her.

She darts her fork towards the juicy meat, munching it afterwards. "I can compromise you to quit my job in the club, but can you spare some work to be left on me? I can't be at home while you go to work."

He suddenly stopped eating and gazed at her, "What work was that?"

"It's not about the club, it's about a kid who I was teaching." She formally uttered.

"Teaching? What do you mean?" He furrowed his brow while intently keeping his eyes on her.

"I tutor."

The long day has ended, Hunt dropped her by the hospital where her mom was confined. Though, they were not able to find a suitable home which according to her taste and Hunt needed to call the day off for them because he has a meeting to attend overseas.

Before she left the car, "Thank you for today, Hunt. Have a safe flight." It was a formal goodbye before they parted.

"I'll be meeting you up the day after tomorrow, don't forget." He reminded, which makes her nod equally.

"I will remember. I'll go now." She was about to get out of the car when he grabbed her wrist. She looks back at him with a confused face. "What is it?" She asked innocently.

His eyes seemed frosty and domineering as if he was displeased by something she couldn't name. "Hunt, I will be going out now. If there's nothing you will say, then free my wrist already." She's been occupied by him the whole day, Sunday was supposed to be her time with her parents but because of what happened, she purposely gave it to Hunt and settled things with him.

He avoided gaze with her and pulled his hand from her wrist. Looking straight ahead of the road. "Quit being a club dancer, I don't want you to dance anymore." He spoke which made her smile.

"I will."
