HEARTFILIA'S POV
I jolted awake as my cellphone alarm started blasting. Darn it! I clutched my head—the pain was excruciating. Ouch. it hurts so much.
I squeezed my eyes shut again, holding my head as if it was about to explode. My entire body felt heavy and sore, like I had been physically beaten.
Fuck. what happened last night? I couldn't recall a thing. Slowly, I peeled my eyes open.
Wait. where am I?* This wasn't my room. *Hold on—who is this hugging me?
I looked down; it was Jharied. What was this? Was I dreaming?
I looked again to be absolutely sure. I swallowed hard at what I saw: he was sleeping soundly, like a harmless lamb. But of course, he was still a beast.
Wait. why is Jharied beside me? How did this happen?
Slowly, I looked down at my own body-I swallowed again. I wasn't wearing a stitch of clothes.
Wait. I really don't recall anything. What exactly happened? Did I lose my virginity?
"You fcking beast!" I shrieked at him, tearing his arm off my waist.
"What is it, Filia.you're so loud. Can you quiet down?" he complained, keeping his eyes closed. He pulled me closer by the waist, making me press against him even more.
"Let go of me!" I yelled again. At that very second, the door swung open-my mom and dad were standing there.
"Why? What happened? Do we have a grandchild yet??" they asked immediately.
"Damn it, they're not even done making one, and you're already asking for a grandchild?" my mother-in-law interjected.
"Why are you screaming?" my mom asked me.
I was tongue-tied. All I could do was stare at the four in utter bewilderment at the scene.
"Gosh, we are really going to have a grandchild!" my mother-in-law said, beaming at me.
"Come on, let's go—continue what you were doing!" they announced, bidding us farewell as if they hadn't seen a thing. They went out and shut the door.
What kind of parents do I have? They act like they have a screw loose.
I looked at Jharied, still fast asleep. Did this mean.
I wasn't a virgin anymore?!
"YOU, YOU JERK!" I shouted, repeatedly hitting his arm.
"What's wrong with you, Filia! You've been making such a racket all this time—I'm really going to kiss you," he said, frowning upon me.
"You fcking beast! Give me back my virginity!" I screamed. This couldn't be happening. This wasn't part of our deal!
"Are you stupid? That can't be returned. What do you want, should I put this back into you again?!" he replied with a wicked smirk, pulling me to his side again.
"You cad! Release me! You just used my weakness against me!" I began to struggle, trying to pull away.
"You're the one to blame for why this happened," he accused. I grew even more infuriated. Why me?!
"What do you mean, ME?! It was you! You're blaming me?" I rebutted, casting the blame right back at him. How could it be me? He was the man! I was the weaker one!
"Why are you acting like that? You still aren't satisfied?" he teased. l could feel the heat rush to my cheeks.
"You wanted what happened. What's the problem with that? I wanted it too. So you shouldn't worry about anything," he added.
What did he mean, I wanted it?! I didn't want it! I shouldn't get pregnant and I shouldn't have given up what I was keeping for someone else to him!
"What did I want?! You jerk! You got me drunk!" I retorted. He just smirked.
"Do you know how many rounds we had last night? You're actually quite a powerhouse. Go take a shower; we still have school," he said, fixing his hair.
Damn it. Filia, why did you surrender to this man? You ought to give it to the one you love, not that kind of guy.
"Oh, why are you looking at me like that?" he asked. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Nothing," I responded shortly.
"Maybe you want us to shower together?" he added with his signature mischievousness. I flared up with annoyance.
"Hmph! Pervert!" I yelled. I grasped his shirt and put it on. I went running to the bathroom, though **the pain in my. *arrrgghh*** was unbearable.
"Even if you try to hide it, I saw all of it last night!" he shouted back, followed by a loud laugh.
You cursed man! He even boasted about it. My whole body ached, like I'd been split in two. But I needed to take a shower.
It's over, and it cannot be taken back. I was filled with deep regret. I should not have drunk last night. I should still be a virgin right now.
After twenty minutes, I was done showering and changing into my uniform. I stepped out of the bathroom, still feeling the soreness in my private area.
I turned to Jharied. He was already dressed. Why did he look so clean and appealing in our uniform?
"Let's go," he invited. I just nodded.
He opened the door for me. We left the room together. When we stepped out—there they were: our crazy parents. They were all smiling.
"Good morning!" they greeted us as if nothing out of the ordinary had taken place. The wide smiles on their faces showed quite clearly that their plan was accomplished.
Jharied and I exchanged a look. We ignored them.
We went downstairs and went to the kitchen. They followed us. We ate in silence.
"Mom, I know what happened last night was a setup," Jharied suddenly said.
Our mothers looked startled.
"We really want a grandchild, Jharied," his mother replied smiling.
He replied only, "Tsk." The others said nothing.
We got up after eating. We went out of the mansion. I would have opened the car door, but he did so before me.
I stared at him. Was he still drunk?
"What's the meaning of this? A miracle—you opened the door for me?" I asked. He rolled his eyes at me.
"Obviously. We're at my mom's house," he answered.
There it is again. Why do I even get my hopes up, Heartfilia?
I got in. He got in too. He started the engine.
"Ready?" he asked, and I nodded.
He drove the car, fast. I just looked out of the window. I used to be scared of his speed. Now. it was just what I was used to, thanks to him. Many things have changed since I married this jerk.
He suddenly further increased his speed. I was startled when he shouted.
"I think I'm falling for you, Heartfilia!"
I instantly looked at him. Was that true?
Or did I simply not hear him? I don't know, maybe I was just hungover. I chose to let it be; it is probably one of his silly jokes.
I didn't want to assume. It would be too embarrassing, especially since. I gave in to him last night. I felt a fresh wave of annoyance.
When I looked out after ten minutes, we were at school.
I was about to open the door, but he held my hand. Suddenly my heart raced. Why is my heart doing this?
"I'll open it," he said seriously. He got out.
Ser—seriously? What is going on with this guy?
This is all an act, and we are in a public place. Don't read too much into this, Heartfilia.
He opened the door. As I stepped out, all the students looked at us.
"I'll hold this," he said, taking my book.
He put his arm around my shoulder as we walked down the corridor.
What happened to this jerk? Was he seriously possessed or what? It's creepy.
"Are you running a fever?" I asked. He frowned.
"No. Why?
"You're acting strangely. You've been like this all morning," I answered and laughed. Maybe the alcohol really did affect this guy differently.
"We're in a public place!" he replied grumpily. I just raised an eyebrow at him.
Psh. Are you sure? Or are you starting to like my beauty? Hmm. Keep denying it.
I could hear the students whispering:
"Is this real? They're together?
"They're so sweet, though."
"Do they really have a relationship?
"So she is pregnant?
"They actually look good together."
I just deadma them.
We went to their favorite hangout place. His friends were all a little crazy and were already there.
"Oh? What's going on? Is that for real? You guys are so sweet!" Arman teased.
"Is it wrong to be sweet to my wife?" Jharied replied gruffly.
"The wind's blowing in a different direction," joked Rey, whistling. Jharied didn't let up. He pulled me to sit down on the sofa. He put his arm around my shoulder again. "We are not in a public place anymore, so take that off!" I complained. I was getting irritated as I wasn't used to him being this sweet.
"Don't be so dramatic. I just want to put my arm around you." He became sweet all of a sudden, and I didn't know why. Did it really possess this jerk?
What happened to my husband?
