"What about my father, where is he? What happened to him" Becky thundered.

  He's fine Miss Lawd. Everything at home has been resolved and you can come back home now" my father informed Becky while bowing his head down.

  Of course, she is still that proud arrogant bitch that she has always been. I'm glad I didn't make the mistake of sleeping with her.

  We got our important stuffs and went back home with my father

  ************************

  I was really happy to be back home at last with my father and so was Becky. All the problems surrounding "THE LAWD" had been resolved and Becky was safe again.

  "THE DRAGON HEAD" rewarded my father for protecting Becky by promoting him to becoming one of THE LAWD'S honourable bodyguards.

  He also made me Becky's junior personal bodyguard working alongside a professional but I refused, which of course I will.

  Making me stay around Becky every hour of every day is not a reward, it's just a punishment.

  I could have been beheaded for saying "NO" to THE LAWD but I took care of his daughter for over a month. And so he should cut me some slack.

  My father's promotion would make him move over to "THE DRAGON'S BREATH" which just means I won't be seeing him as often as before.

  But I just got my dad back after thinking for so long that he was badly hurt or worse dead.

  I needed to be around him. I needed to tell him how much I've missed him and hear all about how he escaped the chaos.

  But I guess when you're poor, your wishes can never come true. Nobody cares about your wants. All they care about is "you doing your job"

  My dad moved out and I became home alone. Of course I can move to THE DRAGON'S BREATH with him but I just preferred not to be anywhere close to the LAWD'S family.

  And besides, I'm an adult, I can manage just fine without my father being with me all the time.

  But I miss him so much and I wish we could at least have some time to ourselves before he resumed working.

  But barely two days of our return home, my father was called to duty.

  At least, they should allow us to heal first. we're human beings too and I almost lost him.

  They should be considerate rather than pushing for him to resume work quickly.

  *****************************

  My father had gone to the LAWD'S home and that afternoon, while sitting down on porch, Becky's chauffeur came to pick me up.

  "Miss Lawd instructed for you to come with me" the chauffeur said

  I don't understand why Becky summoned me but since I couldn't say "NO" again, I decided to obey instructions but the moment I got there, I wished I'd just stayed back home.

  FREEN'S POV

  When I got to the house, the maid told me that Becky was expecting me in her room and so I went there.

  I knocked on the door and she responded, asking me to come inside, which I did.

  But what I saw made me turn around and quickly rushed out of the room.

  "Stop. Don't do that." She said in a hurry making me stand still backing her.

  "I mean, don't you know that it's rude to see a woman's nakedness and just work out like you don't like what you're seeing?

  Stop being a baby Freen and just come over here.

  Something was going on between us before your dad came and interrupted us and until now I can't seem to get my mind off it.

  So maybe I'll stop thinking about doing it after we've done it. So Freen please have sex with me.

  I really want to do it with you pleeeaasssss...." Becky said smiling at me being all childish and cute.

  I turned around and bent my head down, barely looking at an almost naked Becky in that robe

  Is she crazy? She's practically naked and demanding that we have sex. She's so comfortable in her skin even though she's naked.

  It makes sense though. She has the perfect body. Her skin was so clear and smooth and I just can't stop staring at it.

  How can she be so perfect? Every curve was just perfect and sexy just like I pictured her naked body to be.

  Wait why am I even picturing Becky naked? I must be stupid and an hypocrite.

  I claim to hate Becky and yet I can't stop dreaming about her. I can't stop remembering our kiss and wish that we had sex before my dad came to get us.

  I shouldn't be thinking about sex with Becky right? or should I?

  I've been wishing to be up close with her like we were in the cabin but now that she's here, should I proceed? No! No!! No!!! I shouldn't. Maybe just this once.

  I moved a step forward but then I turned around to leave. But I stopped and turned towards Becky again.

  I was so confused and didn't know what to do. My body was accepting Becky's invitation but my brain was telling me otherwise.

  What should I do? Should I listen to my brain or my body?

  I was unable to make a decision, going back and forth. It was clear to Becky that I was confused.

  I looked at her for a split second and saw her smiling. I became shy because we both knew that I wanted her and I was really bad at hiding it.

  She started walking towards me. Seeing her coming towards me made me shiver.

  I was both scared and excited. I just turned around and shut my eyes, not knowing what to do or how to react.

  When she got to where I was, she slowly hugged me from behind and inhaled my scent.

  Then she rested her head on my back;

  "You don't have to be scared around me. I know that I've always been mean and hateful towards you but that was because I didn't really know you.

  You're kind and fun and smart and I want to always be around you.

  Why else did I tell my father to make you my junior personal bodyguard?

  But you refused that and so I told my father to make your father a honourable bodyguard.

  Honourable bodyguards stays in the mansion. So by making your father a honourable bodyguard, he'll move into the mansion and so would you.

  I even made your dad resume work quickly just to see you but I discovered that you weren't moving into the mansion like your father.

  I've wanted to see you forever but no matter what I did, you just didn't come to me. So I used the direct approach on you.

  I know how you're feeling. You want me and I want you too so let's not fight it." Becky explained hugging me even tighter.

  So she is the reason why my dad and I had to live separately and she also made my dad resume work quickly just to fulfill her selfish desires.

  She's just as selfish and arrogant and full of herself as ever and I shouldn't be with someone like her.

  I freed myself from her her and turned around facing her being both angry at Becky and disappointed in myself to have ever considered her.

  "I'm also a human being Becky. You can't just demand something from me and change the course of my life just to get it.

  I have been so worried about my father and as soon as I got him back, you asked him to resume work.

  Did it ever occur to you that I might want to spend more time with my dad after almost losing him?

  NO!! You didn't think about that.

  You only think about yourself. That is why I don't want to associate myself with a LAWD.

  Becky, come back to reality because I'll never have sex with someone like you."

  BECKY'S POV

  Wait what just happened? Did I read her wrong?

  Just now it felt like she wanted to have sex with me but now she's being so rude to me?

  All I wanted to do was help her. I asked for her dad to be promoted and also give them a permanent residence in THE DRAGON'S BREATH but she's calling me selfish because I was trying to help?

  *****************************

  I like her and it's not because of sex. She just doesn't have any agenda.

  I've never been myself with anyone but that time we spent together at the cabin, was the only time that I was myself and she didn't judge me.

  YES!! she was being a bit mean to me but that is what even attracted me to her because she was real with me.

  People fear and respect me because of my father, some are friendly so that I'll talk to my father about investing in their businesses while others are friendly to feel important.

  But not FREEN. She was mean and scolded me even though she knew that she will definitely be dead if my father hears about it.

  When she was nice it wasn't because she wanted me to put in a good word for her father. She was just being sincerely caring.

  And when she was friendly, it wasn't because she wanted to feel important. It was because she saw the real me.

  She saw me as a human being, she corrected me when I was wrong and wanted nothing in return.

  Unlike every other person I've ever met who wanted something in return for being in my life.

  I like her for understanding me. She knew when I was sad, when I was lonely and when I needed scolding and she stayed by my side even though it wasn't her job to keep me safe.

  I don't know the meaning of the feelings I have for her but I know that I want her by my side.

  I know that I want to talk to her about everything going on with me and how I'm hurting because no one cares about my feelings.

  They all just make plans and expect me to just follow blindly.

  No one understands me. I've been alone my entire life, even though I had a mother and father.

  They only see me as a means to an end. Just like everybody else, their love comes with a price.

  And the price I have to pay this time, is to marry someone I don't love and have never met before.

  The only reason why my father got out of the mess that almost took his life was because of a frenemy of his, Mr Melendez (PAWA).

  Mr Melendez helped my father fight the rival gang and defeated them all on the condition that I get married to his son, PAPI.

  My marriage to PAPI will finalize without me even knowing or seeing who I'm getting married to.

  All I know about him is that he's really arrogant and brutal and never listens to the opinion of others.

  He kills any servant of his that makes him angry and he invest all of his time in trafficking hard drugs.

  I don't want to get married to a cold-blooded murderer and drug trafficker. But I can't say "NO" to my father because it won't make any difference.

  Mr melendez I've already made a bargain with him to save his empire and that is all he cares about.

  I have always known that I was only born to be sold out on some business deal and finally the deal is here.

  PAPI Is a heartless beast but my father didn't care about that. All he cares and think about is BUSINESS! BUSINESS!! BUSINESS!!!

  I needed someone by my side. Someone who would listen to me. I need someone who cares about the real me and not about the "LAWD" attached to my name.

  And the only person that sincerely cares is Freen but I don't know how to communicate with her because whenever I open my mouth, she just hates me more and more.

  Why am I so bad at communication? I don't know how to go about it. I don't know how to make her know that I need her and I'm not trying to play games with her.

  How can I make her understand that I need a friend, a true friend and in all nineteen years of my life, she's the only person that has shown me true and pure care.

  "I really need you Freen. I don't want to marry PAPI but I know that if nothing is done, in two weeks, I'd be married to a beast In human form."

  *****************************

  I stood there as Freen angrily stormed out of my room. I didn't even know what I did to upset her so much but if the only person that I think cares about me can't see my pain, then I don't even deserve to be alive.

  FREEN'S POV

  I was so angry that Becky is so insensitive to my condition. She made my father resume work even before I got to spend time with him.

  I got angry and walked out of her room but I felt a bit guilty. I don't know why but I felt like she was in pain.

  Underneath all that arrogance rudeness and unruly behaviour, I felt like she was trying to talk to me but I wasn't listening.

  I shouldn't bother myself with Becky. Becky has always been Becky and will never change from being Becky.

  So I just went back home and continue living my life like I normally do.

  *******************************

  Two weeks had passed and my father was fired from his job. He came back home upset but he wouldn't tell me what happened.

  He was so angry with me but I didn't know what I had done wrong.

  I tried talking to him but he kept distancing himself from me. All he kept saying was "leave me alone, this is all your fault "

  I don't understand what I did wrong to get him fired.

  Wait did Becky do this? Did she get my father fired because I refused to have sex with her?

  She has been drawing herself close to me since we returned home.

  She always comes to visit me at home because I didn't move into the LAWD'S mansion with my father.

  Most time I pretended not to be at home so that she'd go away and other times, I ignore her throughout her visit. But yet, she kept on visiting everyday.

  Could she have gotten angry that I refused to reciprocate her feelings and decides to punish me by getting my father fired?

  It kept me up all night thinking. I kept on wondering why my father got fired and what it had to do with me.

  I stayed away from the LAWD'S family so as not to get my father in trouble but now I've gotten him in trouble and I don't know what I did to upset the LAWDS.

  Is it compulsory to be Becky's sex slave? Can't I have a life of my own without Becky detecting my every move?

  "Maybe it's not something I did. Maybe it's because of something I didn't do" I thought to myself

  I kept on thinking it over and over and just got more confused about everything.

  ****************************

  Few days after my dad lost his job, the police came to my home and arrested me. They claimed that I'd kidnapped Becky.

  What is going on? How did I kidnapped Becky when I haven't even seen her?

  What has Becky done again and what did she tell people to make them think that I kidnapped her?

  Wait kidnap? Does that mean Becky is missing? What could have happened to her?

  "I didn't kidnap Becky. You've got the wrong person. I'd never kidnap or hurt Becky.

  You're supposed to be out there looking for her real kidnapper. I'm not the one. Please let me go!!!!!" I kept on screaming as the police dragged me away.

  My dad was there but he didn't say anything. He already knew that Becky was missing and he knew that I'd be blamed for it but he didn't do anything and wouldn't tell me anything either.

  BECKY'S POV

  I don't want to get married to PAPI. But there was no way I was going to tell my father that.

  Maybe PAPI would understand where I'm coming from. He has also never seen me before, so maybe he also doesn't want to get married to me.

  I told my father about arranging a dinner date with PAPI so that we'll get to know each other better.

  My aim wasn't really to get to know him, I just wanted to tell him about my refusal of the marriage proposal.

  I wanted him to know how I felt about our arranged marriage to each other and I prayed that he also doesn't want to get married to me.

  My father arranged the dinner date and that evening, I went to see PAPI for the first time.

  When I got to the restaurant, I saw him sitting down, waiting for me.

  He was nicely and richly dressed. It was so evident that he has a lot of money from Just by appearance.

  When I saw him waiting for me, I presume that the stories I've heard about him weren't true.

  He must be a gentleman to have arrived early and waited for his date.

  I went to him and we exchanged pleasantries and I sat down opposite him.

  He called on a waiter who brought two wine glasses with a wine bottle for us to sip, while we went through the menu to pick our preferred dishes.

  We engaged in small talks while eating and then I brought up the topic which actually brought me on the date.

  "PAPI, how do you feel about getting married to someone that you've never met before.

  I have never imagined getting married like this.

  I'm not really a romantic type but I wanted to get married to someone that I fall In Love with.

  Or even though we don't fall in love, I just... I don't know, I... I wanted to get married to someone that I have known.

  Someone whose character was okay with me and who can also accommodate my character.

  What I'm trying to say is that, What do you think about getting married to me because we practically don't know each other?"

  I asked puppy try not to sound too rude.

  He stared at me surprisingly for a while and then burst into laughter. He laughed to his satisfaction and then said:

  "Love is for the weak. Getting married to someone I love is something I would never do.
