Chapter Four: Kent Davins Laporma

In the morning I thought Dennise would forget what she said but I didn't expect that she would wait for me.

"My gosh! You make me wait, Ariz! No one dared to wait for Harrington not until you came!" She exclaimed while hitting my shoulder, I just woke up and I was on my way to the kitchen to drink.

"W-what?" Her lips quivered while glaring at me.

"You have a photo shoot for today's schedule, I need you to perform for it!"

"I didn't apply."

"But your husband did, go ahead and get dressed before I lose the sports car!" She held my hands, Deive passed by but immediately avoided looking when I looked at him.

"You can go first big sister, I'll gonna drive my wife and fetch her, or I'll be with her for her first work." Deive interrupted, I looked at him.

Wtf?!

"But you have a big project for this day, right? You told me that in Cebu." I raised my brows, he sighed.

"That can wait."

"That's my first day at work."

"Exactly why I need to be there. I want to be with all your first hon, in your first projects, in your first success, your first cry, your first in everything." All my hair stood up when I heard that to him with a husky voice.

"Okay, gotta go first. Make sure before 9 you two are there." Deive nodded lazily then pulled me to the kitchen, we both didn't say a word.

Mom and dad (Deive's parents) were there, they were discussing a thing but when they saw us everyone immediately left. Deive was so powerful in this family that even his parents would always rely on him, of course except to eat Dennise who will fight for what she wants.

Even Sky and Dawn, who were busy with their own world, immediately arranged a seat when they saw their older brother's coming.

It's true, he may be gentle and soft but he's intimidating as always with others, even with everyone. So I wonder why he’s soft when it comes to me when he’s not in love with me.

I was about to sit when he grabbed the chair and let me sit, very kind. I awkwardly smiled and sat there, he sat next to me. I inhale his scent.

He was wearing only a blue navy polo with three buttons that exposed his broad chest. I rolled my eyes and let myself eat this time.

We all ate quietly, only chewing, the rattle of forks and spoons could be heard and the footsteps of the maids. It's like they know what they can do, what they should, and what the family wants for breakfast.

After eating breakfast, they decided to go to the backyard while I'm preparing for my shoots.

I was in the middle of choosing when Deive opened the door. I just got a towel then, I turned to him. It's the first time that he sees me like this, usually, I will dress in our bathroom but now it is. It is hard to choose what to wear this time.

He looked at my legs towards my face, he averted his gaze then cast a spell and muttered something I didn't hear. I just continued even though I was nervous in his presence.

"Are you still there?"

"Hmm," my mouth twisted.

"What do you want to wear?" The bed sank, he was sitting there.

"I don't know what's good looking on me," I pouted, he looked away.

"Fvck!" he muttered a curse that received a dark glare from me, he gulped when he saw my eyes. "I'm sorry for the curse, but everything good looks to you hon." He said softly, I rolled my eyes.

"I want a sexy one but not too revealing!"

"Your body is sexy," scanning my body, "So, everything is sexy to you." He licks his lower lip, why do I find it fvcking hot?

I shook my head, I finally decided what to wear. This is my first work here so I can't be ugly, so I went to the bathroom.

This is the simplest, I don't want them to think that I was getting this ready to off. A floral split dress would do, I came out of the bathroom and he was still there.

I give him a half-smile and go ahead. We bid our farewell to the family, we use his roll royce with a black bladge.

"How about your Bugatti?"

"I'll let Edgar fetch that."

"You really don't want to go to Cebu?"

"Then after the shoot, you will go."

"Why?" He pressed his remote and when his car light and let it open we immediately went there to enter.

He starts the engine, "I want you to come with me." I just stared because his words can't sink into my mind.

I didn't speak, we were close to the place so it diverted my attention a bit. I'm nervous, of course, I am.

When we got out of the car all the reporters became noisy. Deive looked at me full of admirable and toughness that he can say to me, I didn't say a word then just thought to myself. Can I really do this?

They probably thought, I got in here because of the help of my sister-in-law but I didn't expect this!

My husband guided me, he made my hands hold his broad shoulder while his hands were traveling into my waist. I was tickled so I just smiled in front of the camera.

David Keive Harrington is the most handsome engineer in town, unfortunately, married. They talked about our wedding because he was tied to me early but when they see how beautiful and fantastic his wife is, that's when they realize we are married because of money and that's the truth.

But I know it's not just because of money, both our companies are successful. Even without both families by their sides, we will be rich. That's when I think that something is wrong with it, something is valuable for it. I couldn't understand but when I looked at Deive who was happy while holding me, my chest suddenly throbbed.

No, I shouldn't be in love with him because that's what I promised to my mother a long time ago and that's what she wants.

I'm starting to feel the love that I want, there are so many what if's in my mind. I gulped hard and forgot about those things, I didn’t want to think them too vague.

"Hon?" My trance returned when he called my name, and that made me flutter.

H-hon. Fvck it!

"Hi sissy, good morning. Do you need something? Shocks! You're so beautiful in the floral dress but I bet this will be the best for you." She didn't let me speak because she easily grab my pulse and stop Deive from following. "Fvck brother! I know you're protective but not possessive!" That’s what I heard before entering their studio.

Designers, makeup artists, and other female models are already there.

"You need to be a fiercer, bolder as always, darling." She whimpered, I did what she said.

I'm used to that, especially since I was like that when I was in college it started when he left me. Fvck!

They finished fixing me, they will be choosing who’s the face of their company for the upcoming beauty advertisement. Almost everyone here is beautiful, some smiled at me while others were mocking and I didn't give them a damn.

When it was over they dressed me in a dress. It was a modest V-neck and exposed my left hips. I used to wear this to our prom which was even more revealing. Just now again because of work and it was needed.

When I came out, I saw them gasp and look so amazed while the other ones are secretly and burglary rolling their eyes at me.

"Okay, all done?" A few minutes later when Aunt Dennise came, she surveyed us and her mouth dropped when he saw me. "I thought I was in heaven, my brother would be in worst!" She laughed evilly, after all, she is the only one who is not afraid of Deive because they have the same aura and almost the same features.

One by one we were called to be pictured by the photographers. I was confident since I am photogenic but slightly nervous since it was when I was in high school. I even became the queen of prom and he's my king of fvcking-ah! Stop thinking of him, Ariz! You are fvcking married!

I don't know why I am always thinking about him now. It's fvcking a decade since he left me. Why can't I move on? Because you are still in love with him! Am I?

When I was about to be called I removed that from my mind, I needed to focus. I don't want to embarrass my sister, my husband is watching.

"Arianne Dela Rosa,"

A minute later, "Christina!"

"Prepare Aria Zious Harrington!" It was the first time when someone called me that whole name with his surname.

I’m used to Watson, now I’m just nervous!

"Next!" Dennise didn't mention my name but I knew it was me, so I went out.

Many people were there, I was nervous when they were all eyeing me. My eyes searched for Deive but he was talking to someone and they were both laughing. I averted my eyes then walked towards the stage, Dennise gave me a thumbs up.

I don’t know what or how this photographer seems to mean what my emotions will be with how I feel.

"Act like you're crying, miss." I looked at them again, I felt a pang in my chest.

You couldn't even watch your wife because of that woman who is revealing her boobs to you!

"Post like you are angry!" I clenched my fist when I saw the one flirty smash my husband's stomach while my husband seemed unhappy.

How dare she fvcking touch my husband?!

"Give us your sexy smirks, Harrington." He shouted, I saw how Deive looked at me and so that when I looked at the camera and smirked sexily.

I saw how he gulped hard, but I was depressed when he left while his hands were clenching. What the heck?!

"You're so fvcking hot!" Big sister shook her head, it made me blush but it suddenly disappeared when I looked at Deive and he was not there.

The girl is gone too! Why do I fvcking know where they are headed?

"Next!" The photographer shouted, I immediately went off the stage and headed somewhere.

Dennise called me but I didn't turn back and just kept running! Fvck these heels!

When I was in the comfort room, I was very nervous, I didn't knock and slowly opened the door. Fortunately, there was no one in the men's bathroom. I gulped so hard, I started panicking when I heard someone groan.

"Fvck! I'm cumming! Shit!" I immediately ran when I heard that growl at the man, I didn’t have to ask who it was.

Wow! The speed of his exit!

I don’t know where I’m going, I have no idea why I am hurt! I'm used to it, but why does it hurt now?

Do I have feelings for him? Is that why am I in pain? I removed the heels, I can’t run properly because of it, I don’t know where it will take me but I want to get stuck in this place.

I have no life while walking on the side of the highway, I look like a fool while walking, staring while I'm in my dress. Everyone is watching me, but who cares anyway?

Why do I still feel this way? Why do I have to be fvcking in love with him? Am I? No! I am not! I should be in love with my boyfriend and not with my husband! No! I can't accept it, I can't.

I haven't eaten yet, my stomach is making a sound. This is shit, this is really not me!

But my world literally stops when he moves out of his Bulgari. My mouth fell while looking at him, his disheveled hair, perfect jaw, bridge nose, wet lips. My fvcking first love is looking at me with a dark expression.

He looks so expensive, Kent Davins Laporma.

"Ari." his full voice that always makes me nervous, that didn’t change even decades ago.

This is a fvcking mess!
