Mind-blowing idea

"ARRRRR!!"

In the afternoon, the woman's yell echoed the room.

Her hair was a mess since she just woke up. Memories from last night hit her like a bullet.

Ashamed of herself for proposing to Ezra Kingston. "Vera Charlene!! Why the fuck did you choose him out of these men?!!"

She scowled in annoyance.

Wanting to dig a hole and bury herself.

Vera seized her phone from the table promptly. Calling someone to make sure it was not a dream.

"Good afternoon, Miss Vera. Do you finally remember what you have done last night?"

Before she could even utter a word, the boy from the side spoke. "Aspennnn, please tell me it was all a dream"

Vera whined.

Sounding as if she was going to cry out loud in next second. "Nope. You actually did proposed to your ex-boyfriend's uncle" heartlessly, he responded.

Making the woman threw herself back onto the bed. Eyelids drooped in disbelief.

"I am so done with myself" she murmured. Shutting her eyes in annoyance.

While the boy on the other side of phone rolled his eyes at the reaction on the woman.

Seemed like she was regretting her decisions like usual.

He still remembered the day where she cried for three hours straight, just because she threw her purse in toilet's bin.

But Aspen kept the purse from the bin which contained cards and money.

Returning it back to her after when she was done crying, only to get hit by her with fists for not telling her earlier.

"Where are you by the way? Have you eaten?" Aspen queried, concerned about the woman.

"I just woke up. But I do not have any energy to eat for today after finding out what I did last night" Vera replied.

Squeezing her eyes in disappointment of herself.

"Come open the door then"

The boy commanded.

Surprising the woman totally. "Wait, don't tell me.." Vera sat up on the bed in hurry. Stepping out of the bed and running towards the door to open.

As it unlocked, Aspen stood there with a bag in his grip while another hand was holding the phone near to his ear.

"Why are you here?!" Vera frowned in puzzlement. Hanging up the phone.

"Don't sound so disappointed. I came here to send meal because I know you are gonna starve yourself" Aspen retorted.

"Little boy, I can take care of myself. You can just do your work and find money as you desire" she let him in. Settling down at the dining table.

"Quit lecturing, old woman"

Aspen taunted. Upsetting the woman entirely. "Don't call me old woman, you piece of shit!" She grumbled.

Furrowing her brows in irritation for getting called as a grandmother.

"I am twenty years old which makes you an old woman, grandma Vera" he continued teasing her.

Chuckling at her annoyed reaction.

Vera scowled. Being done with Aspen to talk. It caught the boy's attention.

Making him started taking out the box from bag to grab her attention.

"What did you buy?"

The woman asked in sarcastic tone. Taking a peek at the food which the boy placed on the table.

Even though, she found it annoying whenever he treated her as an old woman, the food on the table soothed her anger simply.

"Spaghetti" Aspen replied. Bringing up a smile onto the woman's face.

"Wait really?!" Vera's brows wrinkled. Gazing down at the plate which was filled with spaghetti.

"Oh my gosh! I like it! Thank you!!" She expressed gratitude.

While the boy rolled his eyes. She literally was complaining how much she loathed to be called as an old woman a second ago.

Now the food soothed her irritation easily. How amusing.

They two sat across each other at the table and commenced their lunch.

"I don't want to ruin the mood but Zane Kingston is getting married this weekend" Aspen informed.

It caused the woman to stop chewing the food. Her smile for food dropped instantly.

"Why are you mentioning about that dickhead?" Vera scowled.

Revealing her exasperation.

"No intention" Aspen shrugged. Saying he just required to report only.

Vera slightly glared at the boy. She swallowed the food but slammed the fork onto the table back when the thought of Zane Kingston interrupted her mind.

It irritated her wholly so that she could not even continue her breakfast in afternoon.

"Hey, I am sorry for mentioning about him. Don't throw your food away like that and eat it up" Aspen begged.

Earning a disagreement back. 

"Nope. I don't want to eat anymore"  Vera shook her head. Pushing the plate away.

While a sigh escaped between the boy's lips. He prevented eating also. Capturing the woman's attention.

"Why did you stop?" Vera frowned. Staring at him in confusion.

"If you are not eating, then I won't too" the boy affirmed.

Making the woman rolled her eyes. "Shut up and continue. I am just full enough"

Vera retorted with a scowl.

"Liar" a word from the boy made her sigh tiredly.

"You are right. I was lying. I mean, consider about it! That dickhead toyed with me for four years! And now he is marrying to live happily ever after with his fiance?! Like where the fuck is my ebullience?! This is not fair! I want to destroy his happiness!"

Vera grumbled through gritted teeth.

"Maybe you may not have encountered your real one yet. Come on. Forget about him and fill your empty stomach"

Aspen suggested.

But the woman shook her head. Declining to eat. Her mind was processing of a way. A way to step onto that jerk's joy.

Slowly and slowly she commenced to discover the genius way yet risky also.

To be honest, she should thank her drunk self from last night for proposing to Ezra Kingston. It was like a mind-blowing idea ever.

"That reminds me of, I feel like what I did last night was not wrong. My choice was accurate" she stated.

Hushing down the boy for some seconds. "I can see your scheme, Miss Vera Charlene. Don't you dare to accomplish it"

Aspen warned.

Concerning for her since she was his one of important people in his life.

"No, think about it!" Vera shouted with a big smile.

"Ezra Kingston is Zane Kingston's uncle! Not to mention the fact that he is in the highest position right now. Also he is searching for a wife! I can marry him and show Zane Kingston how much he fucked up!"

She proudly stated. A grin displayed on her face. "You are wrong! Ezra Kingston is basically a crime lord! He can harm you!"

Aspen grumbled. The words from him did not appear to pass through the woman's ears.

"So what?! At least, I can make that dickhead regret!" Vera retorted.

A sigh escaped between the boy's lips. Clenching his jaw in annoyance.

"I will find a man for you to marry if you require that much. And if there is no one, I will be your fake husband. So calm the fuck down and throw the plan of marrying Ezra Kingston!"

Aspen protested.

While the woman only smiled. "Awwn, look at you worrying about me. How lovable"

With a sweet smile, she stared at him.

"I am being serious, Vera. I don't want to see you suffering in wolves field" Aspen stated. Brows wrinkling in concern.

"Awwn, admirable!" Vera clapped.

Whooping at the boy warning.

It angered Aspen entirely. Causing him to clench his jaw in vexation.

When Vera discovered the boy remaining silent in fury, she chuckled.

"Don't be upset. This is what I require anyway. So I can't acknowledge other things right now. All I care is to make my ex-boyfriend regret"

Vera declared. Standing up from the seat as the boy peered at her with cold gaze.

"Are you actually going to do it?"

He queried. Hoping the woman to deny even though he could guess the answer.

"Yes." The confirmation from Vera disappointed Aspen. Like a lot.

"Well, what can I do?" He sighed helplessly.

Fingers running through his ash blonde hair while brows wrinkling in annoyance.

"What?"

Vera questioned, with a slight frown. Facing the boy who stood up from the seat. She pondered the meaning behind the boy's words.

"Guess I will be helping you to marry Ezra Kingston then" Aspen shrugged, along with an annoyed expression.

It shocked the woman, she did not expect it to be honest. She thought he would leave her and talk with her next time after soothing his rage.

"I knew it. You can't resist me at all"

Vera chuckled and stepped near to the boy. Linking her arm with his arm, only to see him rolling his eyes.

"Just because I don't have money to make your funeral" Aspen retorted. Stunning Vera wholly so that her hand automatically progressed.

Slapping the boy's head, not harshly though.

He literally said he would like to help her achieving the plan so she would not die from heartbreaking situation.

"Where did you get that attitude from, little boy?" the woman queried. With a slight glare on him.

"Born with it, so endure with it" Aspen shrugged. Making the woman rolled her eyes in disappointment.

"Anyway, I have a plan but you will also have to follow with me" Vera stated.

"For what reason?"

Aspen queried. Staring into the woman's eyes with a frown of confusion.

"Because I would like to accomplish my plan in short amount of time" Vera responded. Perplexing the boy totally.

"What is your plan?" He asked.

"You will see" Vera smirked.
