Chapter 10

"But Marcus, I really love Andrew. It doesn't matter that the whole world insults and looks down on me. Even though they all say I'm a sly bitch for money, I sincerely love Andrew and will stay by his side no matter what."

"Shelina." Andrew looked at me in disbelief. He must have been surprised that Shelina could speak so boldly in front of Marcus, the man who stared at me with so much hate. Andrew returned my grip tightly. We strengthen each other.

"Until whenever I will not bless you. I will do all kinds of ways to thwart the wedding and expel you from this mansion, Shelina Aston. Keep that in mind." Marcus immediately left after letting out all his anger. He was getting angry when he realized that Shelina was not afraid of all his harsh words.

"Marcus, you..." Again, Shelina held Andrew down.

"Never mind sis. Let him calm down first. If you are also angry then this fight will never end. And I don't want you to fight with your child."

"But Shelina's attitude has gone too far. The child is cold and likes to have fun but I didn't expect her to be like this to you. In the past, she was never disrespectful to any woman." Andrew's expression turned sad, he must have blamed himself.

"Calm down. I think Marcus needs time to accept me. And I'll be nice to him. I'm sure I can melt him and make Marcus accept me being here." My hand reached out gently caressing his left cheek.

"Yes, I hope so too. You know how much I love you, don't you. I don't want to see you hurt again. Let me take all the responsibility by marrying you. And I don't want anyone to get in my way." Andrew stroked my hair gently. My eyes were closed and my heart was calm. It was as if all my problems were washed away by the waves with just that caress.

"Yes. Thank you for loving me so much. I don't know what would have happened to me right now if you weren't present in my life. Maybe I'm already in a mental hospital or even dead." My eyes filled with tears. Andrew is everything. This man who saved Shelina from all my pain and dark life.

"Shhh, don't ever say that. I promise to give you happiness and I won't let you be sad or hurt again, Shelina." Andrew pulled me into his arms. My heart warmed and Shelina replied.

I woke up early in the morning to prepare breakfast. Since last night Shelina has been determined to do anything to deserve to be Andrew's wife and make Marcus accept my existence and status in this house. As a first step, Shelina will cook breakfast for Andrew and also Marcus.

Marcus.

I always stay silent for a long time every time that name crosses my mind. I can't deny that this man still has an impact on me. But Shelina is determined to close her feelings deep inside and tries to do the best for Andrew. This morning Shelina accidentally cooked sausage fried rice. One of Marcus' favorite foods. I hope he can melt and not be cynical to me. My fried rice is finally cooked. I put it on the plate when someone's voice startled me.

"What is this? You cook? Who allowed you to cook here?" I turned quickly. Marcus stood by the dining table with raised eyebrows, he looked at me with disapproval. It's like Shelina is an alien who can't set my foot in this kitchen.

"Andrew gave me permission to do anything." I ignored him and returned to setting the plates on the dining table not far from the kitchen counter. For almost two days, Shelina heard a cynical voice and a sharp look from Marcus, of course Shelina was getting used to it. Moreover Shelina will not show my weakness in front of him. I will not let him step on me more.

"Not yet being his wife, you dare to act like a great madam in this mansion. Should I remind you of your position. You are just an uninvited guest here."

I took a deep breath. How can Shelina be nice if Marcus is always cynical at me? Shelina really wanted to scream every time she saw his arrogance and arrogance. I turned around and folded my arms across my chest.

"How many times do I have to tell you, Marcus. Be nice to me, you don't want to get an evil and cruel stepmother do you?" My eyebrows rose one side mocking his behavior.

"You! You bastard...." Marcus growled sharply. Andrew's laughter stopped Marcus' swearing. The man was standing behind Marcus in his full work suit.

"Yes, that's true Marcus. Be nice to Shelina. You don't want to have an evil stepmother, do you," teased Andrew, which made Marcus' face even darker. Andrew walked up to me and quickly kissed my right cheek.

"Damn! Damn it. I won't let that happen at any time. I'm leaving." Marcus turned around and left us alone. He was very annoyed, his lips still cursing in a low voice.

"You don't want breakfast. I've cooked sausage fried rice for you." Marcus stopped walking, he was silent in front of the door. Looks like he's changed his mind. I remember that man always liked and was addicted to my fried rice.

But it turns out my guess was wrong. The man walked away without looking back. He has changed. No, he hasn't changed, but this is the real Marcus. A jerk who does anything to get a woman. Yes that's correct. How could Shelina forget all the pain Shelina went through because of him? The son of a bitch who just killed me.

Now Shelina is standing in front of a cafe with a big sign above the door. Wonderful Cafe. My eyes twinkled with happiness. Finally my dream has come true. Having my own cafe, although part of the capital of this cafe borrowed Andrew's money. But Shelina promised to return the money.
