"No Christian!! Please!! Please don't leave me!"

I hugged him tightly from his behind. The back of his shirt was drenched because of my heavy teardrops.

"Let go of me, Lixien..." He says in his deep and raspy voice.

"Chris, you can't do this to me...Please.." I shooked my head and begged.

"Don't make things harder Lixien. Let go of me now."

"Please Christian, don't leave me!"

"It wasn't my desicion, It was my Parent's! I love you Christian and you know that!" I continued while sobbing in front of him.

He scoffed at my words.

"As if..."

My heart hurt so bad listening to those two words.

I loosened my hug to him and he turned to face me.

"What do you mean as if?! I really do love you! With all my heart..." I came closer to him and my hands touch his chest.

"Then leave your family here and come with me..."

I looked at him and saw that he was dead serious.

"Christian please, you know I can't do that. My parents need me."

Then he pushes me away from him harshly almost making me stumble.

"Ch-christian..."

"You just answered me, Lixien. You are such a waste of time. I can't believe I spent my two years of my life with someone like you!"

My heart shattered in pieces.

"Christian..." I cried.

"Stop it already Lixien. I hope you and your 'husband' live happily. Goodbye."

He looked at me for one last time uand quickly made his way out of our shared house ignoring my screams.

He left me.

-3 Months Passed/Wedding Day-

"Do you, Lixien Chua, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

I stood there in silence. My body was there but my mind wasn't.

"Lixien..." I came back to reality when I heard the voice I hate the most calling out my name softly.

I looked around to see many people whispering ang waiting for me to speak.

I looked back at the priest.

"I'm sorry, what was that again?" I asked not feeling anything.

"Do you, Lixien Chua, take this man, Randall Echavez to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest repeated.

I looked beside me. Finally my eyes met his. His eyes were full of sparkles while mine are full of hatred.

"I...I d-..." I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I can feel how Randall's hand touched mine and intertwined them softly transferring some of his strength to me.

"I do." I finally answered.

I waited for Randall who was unlocking the front door of our new house, a wedding gift from our parents.

"Why are you so slow?" I was starting to get annoyed at him.

"Sorry. It's my first time here. I don't know which one is the key..." He said while I just rolled my eyes.

"It's hot out here, make it fast!" I raised my voice now feeling really irritated.

He finally opened the door. "Sorry to keep you waiting, my love." He caressed my cheeks.

My body stiffened due to his sudden action.

My heart started beating fast and I looked at him, angry.

"Don't you dare touch me, Randall." I harshly moved his hand away from my face.

The both of us went inside and I rushed upstairs to the masters bedroom. I pushed the door open and I saw him struggling to put the luggage down.

"What are you doing?" I crossed my arms on ny chest.

He put down the last luggage on the ground. "Why, do you need anything?" He stared at me with his pupoy doe eyes, softly smiling at me.

"Yes, please. I just wanted to remind you that we are not going to share the same room. I will be sleeping here. You sleep at the guest room." I explained with my blank facial expression.

I saw how his face changed. His soft smile slowly faded.

All I can see now is sadness plastered in his face.

He slowly looked down. "What if our parents come here?" He asked me slowly.

"We'll figure it out later." I reply to him and went to sit on the edge of the bed.

He nodded and slowly picked up his luggage.

Walking to the door, he stopped his tracks and looked at me.

"It's okay, I understand. You can take as much time as you need. I will always wait for you." He smiles at me again. I gazed at him with my furrowed eyebrows.

"Take some rest. I'll prepare us breakfast tomorrow. Don't hesitate to come to my room if you need anything." He said, smiling.

"See you tomorrow, I love you." And he walked out of the room.

I let out a deep sigh. His words kept replaying on my mind.

Why is he so nice to me? Who is this guy? Why did mom and dad forced me to marry him?
