Chapter 4

Ivys POV

I was awaken by a gentle tap on my cheek.

"Hey, wake up.."I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Gab's face.

"We're here," he said and walked away.

I adjusted my seat and looked outside, the semi-modern house. It's also very beautiful even though it has a provincial vibe because there are many trees.

I got out of the car and went to the trunk to get my suitcase, I was surprised when Gab suddenly pushed me aside, but it was gentle.

"I'll take care of this, here's the key to the gate and main door." while handing it to me.

I nodded and went ahead of him to open the gate. When I opened it, I saw a big dog.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" I screamed and ran.

The dog is barking and chasing me.

"Ivy, don't run!" Gab shouted.

I kept running, crying. I'm afraid of the dog, I looked back and saw him holding the dog when I suddenly tripped and fell.

"Ouch.." I said while adjusting my seat, my knee was bleeding.

"Ivy!" Gab ran up to me.

He looked me over. "Are you okay? Tell me where does it hurts?" he worriedly said.

W-what? The way he looks at me, there's concern.

He seriously looked at my knee, it was so painful. My tears fell, I looked at him because his hand was on my cheek, wiping my tears.

"Don't cry, I'm sorry I didn't mention there was a dog and I didn't know you were afraid of dogs," he said, approaching me and picking me up.

Really, he needs to apologize. He didn't even inform me that there was a dog or tell me to be careful so I wouldn't be surprised.

He was carrying me bridal style, and I was just staring at him. He really looks like a Greek god with his pointed nose, thick eyebrows, perfect jawline, and reddish plum lips. So tempting—.

"Done staring?" "she said while looking straight ahead.

"N-no way! Y-you have dirt on your face.” sh*t why am I stuttering.

He just smirked and opened the door, have I really been staring at him for so long that I didn't notice we were near the main door? He gently lowered me onto the sofa.

"Stay here, I'll just get the emergency kit to treat on your knee," he said, turning his back on me.

I scanned the surroundings, it's so beautiful here. Gab's family is also very wealthy. I guess it's bad if I say I'm happy that Gab and I are getting married, but I don't know what Ate will do next. Once she wants something, she'll forcefully take it.

Will she forcefully take back what was once hers? or am I the one who takes for Ate?

I heard footsteps, so I turned around. I saw Gab carrying an emergency kit. When he got closer, he knelt in front of me and treated the wound.

—

"Ouch!" Be gentle, it hurts and it's stinging," I winced and complained to him.

"Then bear with it," he said firmly.

I just kept quiet and endured the pain until it was over.

"Done, tomorrow my dog won't be here anymore. Be careful next time," he said while tidying up.

"H-ha? Don't move your dog from here, I'll just avoid your dog," I said.

It's embarrassing, he's going to move his dog for me, who is afraid of dogs.

"That's for you, I'll be in trouble with your parents once they see your wound. Your things are already upstairs, you can start tidying up," he said and left me.

I thought he was worried about me, but it turns out he just didn't want to get in trouble with Daddy.

I stood up from the sofa and headed to the stairs to go up.

—

There are so many doors, where did he put my stuff?

One by one, I opened the doors; there were four doors, but the two I opened were empty. Last two, I opened the door, and what I saw were the pictures of Ate and Gab. From their dates and so on .

I'm getting emotional watching this, they really suit for each other. Should I call off the engagement? I am the one who steal, I am the one who stole Gab.

"What are you doing here‽" Gab shouted thunderously.

"U-uhm, I-I'm looking for the—"

"Last room, now get out." He interrupted what I was about to say.

I hurriedly moved away from the picture frames when I accidentally brushed against the picture of Ate, where Ate was holding Gab's chest while Gab was staring at Ate.

"What have you done! I told you to leave, but what did you do? "said Gab while approaching me and gripping my arm tightly.

"S-sorry, I didn't mean to. I-I'll be going out too," I said, trembling, trying to remove his grip from my arm.

He glared at me and let go of my arm, but then he held my jaw so tightly.

He stared at me intently. "You have no right to enter this room. You're not allowed to touch anything. Your sister should be the one with me here, not you!"he said, then roughly let go of my jaw, almost making me fall.

I looked at him with tears in my eyes and ran away from him. I hurriedly opened the door to my room, closed it, and burst into tears.

I slid down behind the closed door. My arm, jaw, and heart hurt.

Is it really true that I'm hard to love?
