Chapter 2

"You really tolerated her!" Czeya scolded her boyfriend, Zues, her two brows almost touching. Galaxie and she had not spoken since their "firing moment" three days prior. Czeya and her boyfriend had also gone three days without speaking. She didn't want to talk to Zues because her rage was stronger.

Zues, on the other hand, was unable to send an update to his girlfriend due to his high fever; fortunately, he is now well.

Due to the noise made by his girlfriend, he simply scratched his head. He knitted his brow and rolled his eyes quietly. "Babe, why don't you simply comprehend Galaxie?" he questioned calmly.

"What?! Understand?! For real? Why would I? She should be the one understanding me, not me!" Her emotions were already carrying her away. She kicked the floor hard as she let out her sentences one by one. She despises Galaxie so much!

"Babe, come on," Zues got up from the plush sofa of the apartment he just rented yesterday, and didn't hesitate to hug the one he loves to calm her down, "She can ruin us," he even added this just to make her feel completely at ease. However, it did not appear to work.

Czeya's mind was filled with question marks and exclamation points, "Ruin us?! What do you mean?" she asked as she pulled Zues away from her, refusing his lovely hug.

"Well, what do you expect? She knows we're hiding, she knows we're in a relationship, she knows this relationship could ruin both of us, she knows we're forbidden; she can just report this to Daddy whenever she wants, and tell him that my relationship with her is fake, and she would definitely expose our relationship," Zues replied.

After struggling for a few seconds to comprehend what he had said, Czeya sighed, "That witch-bitch is a menace!" and turned her back on him after gnashing her teeth and tightening her fist.

"Why are we cousins? Why are we meant to be cousins? Why do we have to pretend? Why do we have to hide? Why is it like this? Why is there Galaxie? Why?" she wondered. She had the realization that if her boyfriend's evil best friend Galaxie stays with them forever, neither she nor he will ever be free.

Czeya was irritated as she thought of these things, "I shouldn't make Galaxie angry, ugh! That witch-bitch is certainly a virus!" she thought to herself as she realized Galaxie had the potential to ruin her relationship with Zues. That's correct, Galaxie was a bug or a pest in the love they've sown, but Czeya had to live with it because otherwise, it was a goodbye to their relationship.

"Cheer up, self. You are Zues' cousin for now, but his wife in the future," she said to herself, secretly smiling. They may be having challenges right now, but she was confident that they would be happy at the end of their journey.

Czeya ultimately consented to go along with Galaxie's ideologies, despite how much it upsets her. Czeya trusted Zues when he said that they would one day stop keeping their relationship a secret from everyone. Following their discussion, they and Galaxie proceeded to Zues' house to enjoy supper as a family.

It was supposed to be simply Zues and his phoney girlfriend. However, Zues' mother considered inviting Czeya as she was currently close to Zues. Meanwhile, the father wanted Galaxie to be the sole lady at their family meal, aside from the mother, because Galaxie is Zues' girlfriend and therefore part of the family. Czeya was only... you know, not a full member of the family.

However, Czeya was persuaded to attend the dinner by the mother.

The fake couple, Zues and Galaxie, was sitting together while Czeya was in front of them. She could clearly see how sweet Galaxie was to Zues. It irritated and pissed her off.

And for Galaxie, it was her tactic to annoy Czeya. She no longer had any reason to like Czeya as a result of what had transpired to them during the previous several days. She made the decision to irritate her even more and to turn it into a pastime.

Galaxie took Zues' hand in hers, and he didn't reject it. She quietly observed Czeya to see how she would respond to her actions. It was satisfying to witness Czeya's annoyed look.

Czeya was plainly envious, but she shouldn't show it since, dammit it, she's only a cousin.

The mother looked at her son and his girlfriend who were holding hands and said, "You two are very sweet."

Galaxie let out a teasing smile as she glanced at Czeya, checking if she's pissed off already. "Be pissed. Be pissed. Be pissed." Galaxie repeatedly said to her mind.

"So, when's the wedding?" the father questioned, surprising everyone.

Czeya was the most surprised. After hearing the question, she unwittingly let out a series of coughs. She now has everyone's attention as a result of it.

"Take some water, you shouldn't have eaten so much," the mother stated as she offered her a glass of water.

Deep inside, Galaxie was already giggling uncontrollably. She believed she had succeeded.

While Zues felt sad for his girlfriend. He realised the cough was in response to his father's question. He sighed quietly as he bowed his head slighty. In their current predicament, how will they be able to breathe?

Once they had done eating, Zues drove Czeya and Galaxie to their separate houses. Zues was driving, Czeya was with him in the front seat, and Galaxie was in the backseat.

Galaxie chuckled and continued, plainly teasing Czeya once again, "You ate a lot Czeya, such a dead hunger."

"Shut talking. Don't think that Zues will marry you. You've already assumed that you're his girlfriend; don't tell me you're going to assume again," Czeya remarked irritably. She appeared to have forgotten what she had told herself before, that she would not upset that witch-bitch.

Galaxie just chuckled at Czeya's statement, "The two of you won't get married."

Zues pulled over and yelled at Galaxie in the rearview mirror, "Galaxie, what are you talking about?!" with a knitted forehead.

"She's saying gibberish, don't heed that witch, babe" Czeya muttered, crossing her arms.

"The two of you are cousins. The whole world will be against you. You have to face that truth," Galaxie rolled her eyes, her malicious smirk was still on her pink lips.

Zues and Czeya were stunned.
