Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 45: Her stupidity

Madi's POV:

"You accepted his marriage proposal?" Sandy asked me when she noticed the ring on my finger.

I nodded.

"Why?"

"What do you mean, why? It's part of the deal." I avoided her gaze. We're 15 minutes early as usual before our official time and she's now in my office.

"Yeah, part of the deal, but your heart and your feelings shouldn't be involved in that game. Madi, you know the truth behind his story and you know he's still can't get over his past!"

I sighed and leaned back in my seat.

"Tell me, do you have feelings for your 'fake boyfriend? Are you already in love with him, Madi?"

I didn't say anything, I just put my face on my both hands as I rested my elbows on the table and sighed heavily.

"So, it's true? You're in love with him and that was why you accepted the deal in the first place."

"No! I mean, yes at first I agreed with his proposal but I don't feel anything for him by that time. I-I just don't know when it's started. And I'm confused Sandy because sometimes I can feel that he cares. In his kiss, I can feel something with it, and every time he's calling me love. I-I don't know, Sandy. I hate this! I hate this feeling!"

"Fuck! Madielyn Davis!"

I looked up as I felt the heaviness in my heart. "And we're getting married next week."

"What?" she slammed both her hands on the table. "Are you insane? I only pushed you to agree with his game before because I didn't expect you to fall in love with him! And marriage, Madi? Are you sure of that?"

"It's just for papers and only for two months."

"Shit! Madielyn! Don't tell me, you also agreed with that?" Her eyes went wide. "Fine, you realized you're in love with him by the time you're already helping him, but to marry him now that you developed your feelings with him and he's still chasing his ex-girlfriend, that's a huge of stupidity, Madielyn!"

"Sandy, you're not helping me!"

"I'm helping you, actually! I'm helping you to wake up before your good sleep turns into a nightmare! Back out Madi, now that you still have time."

I looked at her and shook my head.

"I-I can't. I can't, Sandy."

"So you've made up your mind. Well, it's yours, Madi. You're no longer a child. You already know what the difference between good and bad for yourself."

"Why is it easy for you to give me such advice? You too are in love, like me and we have almost the same situation."

"Nah-ah!" she said shaking her head. "We're different Madi. Yes, we're both in love, but we have a completely different situation. I admit I'm in love with someone who's also in love with someone else and that someone else is you. But we don't have an agreement, we don't have a contract and I will not push myself to him. Unlike you, you know you're in pain but you choose to stay!"

"Sandy..."

"What? Does it hurt to hear the truth? If he's in love with you he will drop his plan against her and focus all his time with you, but he's not doing any of it, right? So, what are you--- a stupid or idiot?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Huh! That's harsh, Sandy!" I gasped with her blunt words.

"Because that's what you need to hear to wake up! Madi, you can't compete when you don't compare!"

I just gulped and avoided her eyes. It's the first time, I've seen her bitchy side and heard her sarcastic comments. When I looked up at her, I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. Well, I've already figured it out. Stupid, foolish and idiotic.

****

Saturday morning. Out wedding day. I didn't listen to Sandy's advice. I continued to be stupid and signed my name at the Civil Registry office as Mrs Madielyn Davis-Wilsons, wife of Mr Gabriel Wilsons.

After signing the contract, we headed straight to his lawyer's office for a little ceremony and Jhon, his driver and Vincent, one of his bodyguard were our witnesses. We exchanged the ring, a simple vow and kiss that sealed my life to a new chapter of challenges.

After that simple ceremony, we ate at a restaurant and went straight to my apartment to pack my things. John and Vincent helped me pack some stuff that I will use over the next few months. When I was about to exit my room, Sandy came and hugged the life out of me. She was still sulking when I waved my goodbye until I lost sight of her.

We stopped in front of a huge house with four security guards standing inside the black gate.

Although, I am used to such things, but my eyes couldn't believe how many luxury cars he owns. Jhon opened the side of my door and pulled my three large bags. At the entrance, we were greeted by his

four maids who helped me carry my things.

"Madi, I'll show you your room," he said placing his hand on my lower back.

"Thanks," I said and smiled at him.

My room is just in front of his room. It's a bit spacious and doubles the room size in my apartment, but it's actually the size of my room at home... in Florida. It's also painted in white, beige and brown and has a complete set of furniture inside.

"Are you okay with this or do you want something bigger---"

"No, it's fine. I'm fine with this." I said and walked further into the room. As I opened the door of the walk-in closet, a frown painted on my forehead when I found a lot of dresses and shoes inside.

"That's all yours." I heard him said behind me.

"But I have my clothes." I turned around and only to be surprised because our face was within inches of each other.

"Sorry," I muttered casually and walked past him to look in the other drawer.

"You don't have to apologize, you know."

"And you don't have to follow me, Gab."

He was about to speak when we heard his cellphone ring. I looked around and decided to walk out of the closet. I left him talking to someone, and I don't want to know who's that someone in the other line.

"It's Stacey. She wants us to meet today." I turned around and looked at him as if it was just a simple thing I heard.

"Good." I shrugged and started to unpack my things, so I missed the kind of look he gave me. "I mean, it's good that she's the one pulling herself into your trap."

I noticed him walking in front of me, but I continued unloading my clothes from the suitcase

"We're fine, aren't we?" he asked lifting my chin.

I chuckled when I looked up. "Of course."

"We're friends?"

"We're friends." I smiled, but it hurt me inside. Friends... that's all he can give me, just a friend.

"Okay, I have to go."

I nodded. "Bye."

"Uhm... Madi, don't wait for me tonight. You can ask the maid whatever you want, they will help you." he said when he's already at the door.

"Okay, don't worry about me. I can manage." I smiled and waved my hand. Then he walked out the door.

I sighed and fell back into the bed. I reached for my phone and searched for the number of a person I want to talk to right at that moment.

"Hi, Mom."

"Ohh, my baby. I thought you already forgot your old mother." I chuckled as I rolled over.

"Mom, you know that's not true. I missed you."

"Hmph! I missed you too, my baby. How are you? How's your business?"

"I'm fine, Mom, and my business... well, it's doing great."

"Hmm... so when are you going to visit your old mother?"

"Mom, stop saying your old!" I exclaimed and I heard her laugh on the other line.

"But it's true, I'm now old, my baby, and I wish you could find your prince charming who would wait for you in the altar."

I bit my lip as I brushed my face with my palm.

"I actually found someone, Mom."

"Really? That's good! When are you going to bring him here and introduce him to me?"

"Uhm... I'll try to ask him, he's just kinda busy. He's a businessman." I told her some details about me and Gabriel, except about the deal, the arrangement, the proposal and our marriage. I'll just make a story about our relationship, but I won't mention my situation.

After thirty minutes of talking to my mother, we said our goodbyes and I continued to unpack my things. I need to do some things to avoid thinking about what he and his ex doing at the moment.
