16 Chapter 16

I felt a warm hand gently caressed my cheeks.

I moved a bit and slowly blinked as i began to open my eyes. My eyelids are still drowsy.

I remembered, i hadn't close the door and open the light when i came because i immediately fell asleep from tiredness.

I closed back my eyes intently when the reflection of the light hit me.

Who turned on the light?

Shit!

I had already an idea if whom it was but i chose to look and confirmed it.

I open my eyes again and caught Riege staring at me.

The expression on his face while watching me was soft, cocern, gentle and....... Angry?

Why he looked like angry again?

I lift my body from leaning the sofa when i noticed our position together. "Riege." i called him.

I robbed my eyes so i could see him clearly.

I watched his arms lying on the top of the headboard of the sofa behind me.

While the other hand is on my thigh. Shit!

I cleared my throat and swallowed hard. Because our distance is only an inch.

How do i looked like while i am sleeping then?

The embarassment i felt, hit me!

"How long have you been here? I was tired so i unconsciously fell asleep." i gently said.

And let his hand rested in my thigh. Oh this!

"Oh.huh....you did not turned on the light. You did not locked the door. And that's how you slept. What if someone will suddenly come inside and seen you in that state while sleeping? And what kind of dress are you wearing! I almost seen your whole breast! You could've stripped! " he said angrily.

He immediately adjusted the front top of my chest to cover up my chest which was slightly exposed..

I wore a Revealing dress. Right. That looked like it only covered the nipple of my breast.

I swallowed hard when i felt the touch of his hot fingers into the skin of my exposed chest.

Shit!

Is this the reason why he looked like angry?

If this weren't just a game, i might conclude that he's a good fiancee.

"I just take care of what is exclusively mine." he said and kissed me on the lips quickly.

The reason why my face was like a tomato in red. Shit!

Here he goes again with his kisses.

Is this the way how he handled all his women?

No wonder they fell hard for this asshole!" You didn't even call me first before you came." i said to make up the embarassment i felt.

"I will come whenever i want. I don't need anyone's permission. And it's a good thing that i didn't call you before i came seeing you in this state. Seeing how you slept while wearing that kind of dress and the door wasn't locked! It is very disgusting!"

"I told you i was tired. I fell asleep-" he cut me off from saying anything. Fuck this ruthless man.!

"Have you fixed your things so we can leave? Make sure, you packed all your things."

"I will not live in your condo for the rest of my life. I will soon come home here after our fictitious marriage, so i will only bring some of my important things and not all. We will separate eventually, so...." his face darkened.

"Let's eat first before we leave." he nodded.

I saw he took his phone from his pocket to call the restaurant to order some food for our dinner.

While waiting our order, i decided to opened the tv to watch something.

But The news was about my broken relationship with marco. I felt riege presence beside me.

The media is very noisy about my broken relationship with marco. I will be more intrigued because of this issue.! For sure!

I turned of the tv and rubbed my head and sighed.

" I don't think it is necessary to move on your condo so that people can see that we are really into a relationship, right?" i said after turning off the tv.

"How can people believed that we are really together if we can't act like a real couple? If we can't live under the same roof? Hmm?" asshole! Shit!

I have no right to question him!

Damn it!

Is this the way how to pay a sin? He moved closer to me. The smell of his expensive perfume mixed with his unique scent filled my nose.

I closed my eyes tightly and tried to stir up my anger.

Here, is the man trying to get even with me.

The man, who's trying to clear his name while literally forcing me to do such thing.

And here i am, can't do anything.

If didn't lie then, maybe his cherished reputation will not be tarnished.

He has changed a lot. Before he was cold and didn't use women for a moment of pleasure. The reason why we got into this point because he was so angry with me that i accused him for that.

Now, not just few women are issued with him because of his womanizer image and changing women one at a time.

He slowly caressed my chin with his index finger. And i felt clouded by his touched.

How can a man so savage and ruthless as him has this kind of gentle touch.

Like how he'd able to touch me years ago.

Like how he touched and caressed me inside his condo.

Like how i begged him to put back the job he took away from me.

And how he almost undressed me everything and afterall, he rejected me.

He pushed my chin up so i could see him.

I see threats, anger, and frustration in his eyes. And his lips pursed for a grinned. "You will living with me. We will live under the same roof. And that's final. Like it or not, you must deal with that!"

"Riege as you can see, i am into show business industry. Do you want a complicated life, filled with so many questions from the media because of your sudden relationship with me-." i didn't finish what i am going to say when he quickly kissed me to stop saying anything. Shit!

" We will live together. And that's final. Now, make yourself ready so that we can leave. We will eat our dinner at my condo. " he said. Ignoring my last call for his change of mind.

I sniffed and slowly nodded. I looked at him.

The sharpness of his stares that looking at me was very evident.

His lips parted as he looked down to my lips.

His every presence and closeness made my hearbeat faster. That the excessive force of its pulse seems that the bones around it are hurtin g too.

My breath became heavy when his fingers grazed the soft side of my face and i was already hesitant to question it.

"You told me to break up with marco and tell everyone that we're into a relationship and that we're getting married. We can't fool everyone! Everyone will expect more from that Riege. And that's too much! Afterall....." my voice became slowly weakened.

" I will be the one to decide if it is done or not. " what the hell? Really?

How selfish this man can be?

I pushed him away but he immediately recovered. I am so annoyed really.

" If you want to get even with me, fine! But not like this! There is so many ways. But not like this! If you want me to repay you from what i did, fine! I will! But not literally like this! You are willing to marry me without love just to get even with me? And to revenge as well? Riege i am willing to pay you anything. Even this! this! Even if i would ruin my own name in this business industry just so you can get even with me, but i won't allow myself or even you to get at this point. This is too much.! "

" You will not be the one to decide! " he calmly said. What the hell? The nerve of this asshole!

I almost cried and became conscious of our position.

Damn him!

Damn him to hell!

Damn this man and his demanding stares.

I am almost certain that he can hear my heartbeats or even hear my ribs hammering like a crazy.

"Why d-don't you court me first? Why do we need to get marry right away?" i closed my eyes intently and bit my lower lips because of my stupid question.

Shit!

Why am i asking him that foolish question?

I swear, i sounded so ridiculous at my request. Shit!

Fool cassie! You fool!

He snorted and raised his eyebrow. He didn't speak up for a while and i felt more awkward.

Cassie! You freaking damn fool! Shit!

"I'm not into courtship. Do you think i will make some stupid effort to someone for that non-sense thing?"

The bitterness poured out of me.

Of course, he doesn't do courting, oviously.

This damn asshole! His relationships with his women was not really that private.

The sales of some magazines got higher and sold out especially when he was the one in featured being together with different women.

And Most especially now that his company is very famous and of course, him, who is one of the most in demand engineer not only all over the asia but also in different parts of the world.

For sure, there's no woman will wait him to court!

His looks, masculinity, power and money is enough to seduce anyone.

He doesn't have to be nice or whatsoever.

Damn you Riege!

He tilted his head and loosened his grip. And caressed my hips gently with his touch before he speak again.

"I bought you some clothes. It's already in my condo. Not fancy as the clothes you model but i know it will perfectly fits on you. I don't want you wearing some dresses that exposing so much of your skin. You can only wear like that whenever i'm around."

" I'm a model and it's part of my job. You need to deal with that! I will take shower and then we'll go. "i went inside the bathroom hurriedly after what i said and locked myself inside.

I covered my face with my palm.

Damn him!

His really an asshole!

And cassie, you fool!

How dare you agreed in this kind of agreement?

I put down my hand and looked at my reflection in the mirror.

Shit! I looked like a lost child.

I was still annoyed while taking a bath. My mind was full of thinking about many things as i dressed up and dried my hair using blowdryer.

I already put on my dress inside the toilet before i got out because i knew that he was just outside waiting for me to finish my bath so that we can leave.

Why do i feel like he's too excited for me to move in his condo?

Can't he wait for me to move in, tomorrow? Or the next day? Or next month? Why so rush?

God! This freaking asshole is very demanding!

I wasn't mistaken when i came out from the bathroom, i immediately saw him sitting in my sofa confidently like a king waiting for his slave to come and serve him!

I rolled my eyes watching him sitting inside my room like this!

He looked at me sharply as i closed the door of the toilet.

I was a bit surprised of him here inside my room but i didn't let him noticed it.i can still act normal while dealing with him here. Shit!

I thougt he's waiting me in the living room.?

He really came inside my room just to wait me here huh?

Shit!

I could have lock the door of my room earlier before going inside the toilet to take a bath!

I felt like i'm going to faint because of his stares.

I am always confident in front of the cameras or anyone or at the stage but why i felt nervous when he's around?

One of these days, i am going to get some sample of his whatnots just so i can understand my kryptonite.

I looked straight ahead to avoid his stares.

I am just suddenly reminded of my own attitude when i am with him and when i am pissed.

He got up from sitting. And i walked through the veranda and stopped near at the door. I sat down in the sofa with a mini bar behind me.

He came near. I couldn't see but i can feel his arms took something behind my back.

I looked at the beautiful light from out side but i can feel his presence beside me.

He took the open bottle wine at the top of the counter table of my mini bar. He poured a little amount of wine to the wine glass and sipped it. After that, he moved And sit at the edge of the sofa where i was sitting. While me at the other edge.

Did he drink while i was inside of the toilet?

Feel at home?

I turned my gaze on him to speak and caught him already looking at me.

Shit! Why he's alway staring with me like that?

How long he's been staring at me though?

And didn't even pretend to look away now that i caught him watching me!

Shit! This asshole is really freaking shit!

"Let's talk about this arrangement." i bravely said. And looked up at him so he could see that i am serious.

I have summarized it in my head already about my condition in this agreement. So i know what to say.

Riege wants to clear his name from the sin and controversy i made years ago.

So to clear his name, he want me to pretend that we're together. "Come closer then." he whispered sensually.

I blinked while looking at him. The evilness of his gaze was very evident.

I immediately moved closer to him so that i can prove him and to myself that this just nothing.

He laughed when he saw the distance of our body wasn't too close enough.

Shit! I couldn't take it anymore!

I move a bit and i was surprised when he also moved to push me closer to his body.

His hand behind me pushed my shoulder just so i could crash in his chest!

His right hand pushed my thigh to meet his left leg.

This time, i could no longer pull back and put some distance between us because his hand remained from where he had pushed me earlier towards him.

Damn him!

Whatever i am feeling, i know this is not because of my stupid actions but this is all because of him.

His presence affect me so much! Shit!

"Can't we talk without this being ridiculiously close?" i said in a pretending voice of annoyance.

"I want you being closer to me. Too close." he said in a drowl.

That attracted me and probably also the flower pot beside the door of my unit.

I looked at him sharply to challenge him but he was just looking at me.

"What's your plans?" i asked.

"Your moving to my condo. And we'll live together. Stay with me and all."

What the hell?

What does he mean, anyway?

He said all?

Does it mean sleeping with him on the same bed is included?

Well, maybe it doesn't matter for him if we sleep in one bed or not, right? It is better for me like that, then.

Because the only thing that matters him the most is to clear his name using this fake marriage. And to everyone can see that we are really into relationship..

So it doesn't matter if we sleep together or not, right?

Everyone can't see how we used to deal ourselves inside his condo, though.

We are just pretending after all.

I felt like i can fry an egg because of the hotness in my face.

I turned to him and i can't believe that there's no humor in his eyes when he said that.

Is he serious, then?

"Why can't we just tell people that we are into-"

"Shhhh..." he put his index finger softly in the middle of my lip just to stop me from saying anything.

Shit! I was stunned by his gesture. I can't imagine how stupid i can be when it comes to him.

Now, i do really realized that it was not just a simple attraction i felt for him.

And i knew he calculated all my moves!

And i can't even seem to find the right thing to do.

He held my waist and his fingers traveled down towards my chin and rested on my thigh. And turned his eyes on me, after.

He snorted and his red lips caught my attention the reason why i looked back.

Shit! This is so unhealthy!

I shut my eyes tightly to get any of my shit together.

Years ago, without physical closeness, not until he kissed me.

My desperation for Mike allowed me to do such stupid sin.

And now, we're even this close. I can only imagine what it will allow me to do.

"You expect me to say it softly when you're asking me to do some ridiculous thing, like this?" i said in more gentle.

I want to laugh because i was thinking about all the limits i have for myself about this arrangement.

Shit!

" I wonder how many women you get laid in your condo? My god Riege i can't imagine that! " i said. The annoying tone from my voice was really avident.

He smirked at me which made me more pissed.

"Oh. Someone has talking me about this."

"Excuse me! I just assumed because you've dated a lot and probably you're that kind of a man right? All the sales from different magazines shop got high especially when you were featured with different women, included! So you're just confirming that all your other stupid chics lived in your condo. " i said and controlled my bursting emotions.

I felt like i am some sort kind of volcano and were about to erupt because of anger.

" So where do you want to live then? Do you want me to buy a house for you? "he smirked.

What the hell!

Idiot!

" No need. We will split eventually. What for if you buy a house now? " i said and pushed him because i could no longer take of our closeness.

But before i could get away he returned me back from the distance where i stayed earlier.

He grabbed my two hands using his one hand and put it down to my thigh to prevent me from doing anything i was planning to do.

Now, we are even more closer. And his other hand reached my waist to get a hold of me.

"Don't waist your money. I am perfectly fine. You knew me already, right? So why don't you pick me up whenever we have to play this fake marriage and drive me home after? It's just the same and that would be more convinient for me since i don't have to..... Bring back my things whenever we're done from all of this!" i added.

" I don't bring woman in my condo unit. But if you want a house, then i will buy for you. But if you find my condo unit is convinient, then we'll stay in my condo. No buts. And no why. You have no any other options aside from that two. I will not let you live here in your condo while we're in this play. You can't live and stay away from me. We will live together and you will stay at my place. And that's final! Now, let's go! "

He said with finality in his tone and kissed me in my lips before he stood up and started picking all the laggages i need to bring in his condo.

Shit!
