“Who the hell are you?” Jed glares at me while slowly recovering from the shocking experience when I slam the door behind him.

“I don’t play games here Jed Crawford” I spat.

“What do you want?” he glares evenly.

“I want you to back off about the agreement of us being married” I said. “So I see you’re Cheska” he smiles. Now, he looks weird. 

“And so?” the door burst open and standing there are some familiar faces, my parents, Jed’s parents and Rose. Oh come on! I thought they have some kind of business trip.

“Now, you finally met each other” dad said happily. I roll my eyes and glares at Jed who keeps on smiling at me. He’s being a creep, don’t he knows it?

“So, now we can talk about the marriage and ---““I don’t want to be married to him, he likes somebody else and I don’t like him” I cut Clarisse off. 

Our parents look at my direction but I didn’t let my guards down. On the other hand, Jed still keeps on smiling. “Why don’t you ask Jed for clarification?” I smile.

“I don’t want to cancel the agreement Uncle Robert” Jed told my dad. 

What on earth is he trying to say?

I look at Rose but she just stare at Jed, later Rose left the area. And from a moment I think she leave the place.

Jed has no heart and I don’t want him. What if one day I’ll gonna regret marrying to a man who has no heart at all?

“Cheska, I want to marry you” Jed smirks and I know that the smirks means something but I just roll my eyes and walk out. I need to breathe some fresh air.

I don’t want to marry him. Oh! I have so many plans and besides he loves someone else, I don’t to be a rebound or a choice. If only someone can help me or change my place. I look at the sky above for hope, how can I get rid of him?

“So you’re just here” I jump off from the bench to look at the man who’s talking, Jed. Now what, asshole day? “Both our parents left already, they just want to make sure that we met before they went to some kind of business trip”

I roll my eyes and sit down at the bench again, pretending that I didn’t hear anything. Praying that he will leave me the hell out alone, and then I was wrong. Instead of walking out, Jed sat down beside me. Ugh! Come on.

“Don’t think that I agree to marry you because I like you. The truth is I’m not” he said. Ugh! How can he say those things? Is he ridiculous? “I just don’t want to disappoint my parents”

“I want you to back out about the wedding” I snap. I look at him seriously and he did the same thing. “You understand? I don’t want to marry you”

“What’s wrong about marrying me? Aha! What if I don’t?” he smirks. This is seriously ridiculous; a young successful bachelor knows how to smirk?

What if he doesn’t want to back out? Well, I guess I might plan that but wait! “I will tell them that you propose to another girl” I smirk back. Now, let us see who the boss is. 

I thought he will get mad and back out the wedding but I’m so totally wrong. Instead, he smiles staring at me intently and move his face closer to mine. I can feel his breathe; I can see his lips closer to mine. I want to push him away but I can’t move, looking face to face to this kind of handsome guy? I clearly can’t just ignore his beauty.

“You won’t say a single word about my proposal to Rose or you’ll regret that you met me” he said seriously. “And don’t ever think that I will do some stupid things like kissing you” then he stand up and walk back inside the house leaving me shock but piss.

How could he possible say it to me? Over my live body, I will not be married to him! He’s pathetic. I want to yell at him, to let him know that I don’t like him. My phone vibrates, it’s a call.

“Hello?” I answer. “Hey, Cheska it’s me Jessica. I just want to let you know that the lot that we are planning to buy for our restaurant has been sold to Jed” “What the hell? But we already pay the owner, right? I snap

“I’m on my way to pay them but Jed bought it last night and he doubles the pay” Jessica sobs. “I’ll handle this, I will call you later” then I hang up.

JED CRAWFORD, you piece of shit! Revenge will be mine.
