Chapter 16 His girlfriend?

(His girlfriend?)

I really can't marry him, it'll be a great torment staying in one house with him. I won't marry him, I don't want to fall deeply for any man again.

"Come on, we can make this work out you know, I won't bother you," he tried convincing me, knowing I can't win against Damien Blacks

"Give me some time to think about it." I said and he frowned, he glared at me that I almost panicked. Why is he so mad? Any girl In my position will do the same right? Except for those crazy fan girls of his, I'm not that type.

"Only. Three. Days." He pointed out each words and I pressed my lips, what have I gotten myself into? Contract marriage with Damien Blacks is the worst thing I could think of now.

"Okay, 3 days then, if I refuse?" I asked

"You lose your job and everything that ever made you happy." He stated more like a threat

"Are you threatening me Mr. Blacks?" I asked him

"Yes, I am, what are you gonna do about it?" He replied and I swallowed.

"I want to go home." I demanded and he fleeted

"Of course, to your temporary home." He pushed my hair to the back of my ears.

Damien took me back home, I rushed to my house without a backward glance, how could he? I closed my door and took off my shoes. I entered my room and locked the door, Jane should be off to the supermarket by now. I angrily punched my pillow, I wanted to cry, I really want to cry, but there's no tears in my eyes right now. How could my life always get complicated and why? I can't tell what will become of me in this marriage. I need some fresh air, I can't continue like this. I decided to visit the bar nearby. I put on my shorts and a blue top. I strolled to a nearby bar, I sat down and the bartender walked over to me.

"What shall I offer you pretty?" He asked

"I need a bottle of burgundy wine." I ordered. He nodded and left. Soon, he surfaced with my burgundy wine

"How much?" I inquired, this is one of my favorite wine, I love everything about this wine, especially the taste.

"$75 miss." He answered, I fished out $100 and handed it to him, he left as I poured myself a glass and sipped from it. I was lost in thoughts, why is my life a joke? From a nasty family background to a cheating Fiance and now to the wife of a CEO I barely knew, why must it be me? I sighed and downed the whole content in the glass. The bar man walked over to me

"Your balance miss." He said to me and I waved at him to keep the Change, I'm in no good mood for talking right now. He left, there must be a reason why my boss wants me to go into a contact marriage with him right? I mean he can't just ask me to marry him without a reason.

I could remember that very day, that day Henry had proposed to me under a big oak tree, I smiled at myself as I gulped another glass, I was such a fool to believe him and listen to him. Now I'm in such a mess, gosh, memories of I and Damien that night flashed through my eyes, *Damien, what have you really done to me?* I can't place my mind on why I can't reject him no matter what, if I should marry him, how will my life become? Can I really get over him? Will I be obsessed with him? What sort of marriage is he planning for us? Will there ever gonna be any us?

"Argh! Stop messing with my mind!" I yelled at myself and I started feeling tipsy, did I really drink that much? I should better get going right now, I stood up and staggered half way to the door, I can feel some eyes on me, but I don't really seem to care. I fell but I wasn't on the floor, someone caught me, I looked up to see a pair of olive eyes, chocolate skinned and blackish grey hair. Only one man could look like that, I frowned and pushed him away in anger, how could he? He left me for Tessa and now wants to play the protective boyfriend, seriously? How dare he show up here, did he know how disgusting he is to me now?

"Don't.. You da..dare touch me Mr." I warned him with hatred and staggered away.

"Abby, you better play cool and good you hear me?" He whispered to me, his deep bass voice which once gave me tingles now irritates me

"Let go of me, do I know you? Who are you?" I yelled at him in anger

"What is wrong with you Abby? It's your boyfriend Henry." He said boastfully, really? What an egoistic man. I chuckled darkly like a mad woman

"My..My..boyfriend? Oh really? Well I don't have a boyfriend you hear me?" I stated and tried walking away, he then pulled me to a kiss which seems to make me more pissed off than I was. I slapped him hard on the cheek and smirked

"Does that hurt? That's a warning to you, stay away from me," I quickly stopped a taxi and gave the driver my house address

"How dare you!" Henry yelled about to chase me but I zoomed off. I arrived home and staggered to the door, I need my bed right now. I turned the door knob as the door opened, I rushed in and dropped on the sofa

"My goodness Abby, what happened to you?" I heard Jane asked

"What? Isn't my life messed up already, come on, it's not a crime to drink." I burped

"Abby," Jane called, gritting her teeth "Let's get you cleaned up first, when you wake up, get ready to spill." She warned as I lost my consciousness.
