Chapter Three


I’m with Jed’s parents, were waiting for our flight bound to Seattle. They’re both excited for me and Jed and it’s actually safe to say that they’re more excited than me. Before I left at the house, my mom told me that I can come back whenever I want. Maybe she felt sorry for me but I don’t want to take the risk knowing that mom and dad end up fighting because of me.

And last night I’ve decided to give it a try. If it will work out then go but if not then sorry. But aside from that I already have a plan last night and it’s pretty cool. I will get some flaws that might end this ridiculous deal.

“Cheska, we’re going to take our private jet” Ben snaps me back into the world. “The flight is way too long to wait, but if it’s not okay with you then…”

“No, a private jet is awesome. And besides, I the one who was invited and you must lead the way” I smile.

“You’re part of the family now Cheska, please we know that this whole agreement was a shock for you but give it a try” Clarisse smile.

“Yeah, I will” I gave them a reassuring smile.

It just takes us one hour travel and a half drive to their exclusive villa. I’m so tired and lazy to move my body, but I have to. I don’t want to let them think that I’m in disgrace to my family and I can’t stand for myself. Besides, I don’t want to marry their son.

“We’re here Cheska” Clarisse announces.

I step outside the car and gaze at a very beautiful and huge mansion, just like ours. The difference was the façade of it, its light red and a grey. The front yard was fully maintained, it’s so cool. Well, who can argue? Mom told me that Clarisse is one of the best architecture and designer of their years.

“You’re house was so adorable” that’s only I can manage to say. But the truth is I’m speechless.

“Well, thanks but it’s not our house. It’s Jed and yours” Clarisse smiles.

My smile evaporates and it changes into a frown. What does she mean that the house was Jed and mine? But were not married and I don’t intend to. I just said that I give it a try means, know him better.

“You’ll be used to it Cheska” Ben whispers.

I look at him quizzically but didn’t say anything. After a moment, an old woman walks towards us and smile. She must be one of the workers of their family because she’s wearing a uniform same as the others.

“Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Crawford what a surprise visit” she greets. Then her gaze focuses on mine. “It must be? Miss Francheska Shawn?” she smiles. I nod without hesitations, how does she know my name?

“Mrs. Moore, can you usher Miss Shawn to her bedroom and everything?” Clarisse asks.

“Well, it’s my pleasure Mrs. Crawford. Let’s go Miss Shawn” Mrs. Moore invites.

“Are you two coming?” I ask referring to Clarisse and Ben who are still standing beside the car.

“Oh! No Cheska, We’re not staying here” Ben said. “We have a business trip along with your parents in Australia, we just come with you but we’re now leaving” he adds.

“Besides, Jed will be happy to see you here” Clarisse grins.

A big sigh erupts and the couple just laugh, I then nod at them and smile. Now what? I can’t change it anymore.

“Don’t worry, they will not let you starve here you know” Ben smirks.

They bid me goodbye and the car starts running away from the mansion. I then look around and follow Mrs. Moore inside the house. This is really tough but great.

Now that I’m alone I can do my plan to ruin Jed’s image to my family then the whole marriage thing will end. I will make sure of it; I don’t want to marry him. I don’t want to be part of their family. I have my own plans and I don’t want Jed to ruin it.

“Welcome to the house Miss Shawn” Mrs. Moore announces.

“Oh please, just call me Cheska Mrs. Moore” I smile.

“Then just call me granny” Mrs. Moore smile back.

And we both ended up laughing while she usher me to my room. I’m thankful that I’m not sleeping with Jed.
