Gabriel Wilsons, the well known 'devil' in the whole business industry of Chicago. He has everything that you wish for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's in love. He's still in love with the woman from his past.
The same woman he has given everything he had before, but eventually betrayed him, left him and shattered his heart into pieces. And because of that, he turned into a cold, heartless, rude and an arrogant billionaire who will do everything to seek revenge and to show her that she's no longer important in his life. Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing.
That's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfil my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. Then he offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"She's pregnant." He blurted out and I almost fall from where I stood. I just grasped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart was unbearable but I managed to stay calm.
"Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement. Well, I can't call it as cheating because she's the real reason why we were pretending as a couple. And that's when I made the biggest decision in my life. Taking the biggest secret in me, that I've already fallen in love with him---- I left him. Then eventually I learned a lesson.
'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who can't see your worth and only uses you as his way to get someone he loves back into his life."

FALLING FOR THE MAN I MARRIED

Earlier this morning, I got a call from my three best friends-slash- managers. Noelle, George and Arielle. Well not actually from all of them, it's just Noelle... they wanted me to go to the mall for shopping, and shopping and non-stop shopping.


It's Saturday today, and it's supposed to be my 'no work', 'no stress', 'no waking up early' and 'no rolling my eyes' day. See? even rolling my eyes is included to this early moment. I usually do that 'mentally' in the office when I am in front of my jerk of a boss and sometimes in front of him when I know he's not looking.


But you know... thanks to these three girl-friends of mine, I had to wake up early, take a bath early and get ready for their non-stop pulling there, and everywhere. As if I have a choice.


Uhm.. have I told you I am a fan of shorts? Especially denim shorts. And that's what I chose to wear today, blue denim shorts with white spaghetti strapped-top. I just paired it with my nude flat-sandals and very light makeup.
