Chapter 6

• Eva
• Fred and I walk back into my parent's house, they have finished talking and it seems like they were waiting for our return.
• "Finally you guys are back!" Mrs Russell said.
• "Did you two have fun?" My mom asked.
• "Yes, Aunty!" Fred said quickly.
• I stare at him with my mouth wide open. Fun he said? When I was trying to start a conversation, when I was asking him questions he didn't answer any of them, all I got from him was a scolding. Now he's lying!
• I continue to stare at the way he told the lie fluently. He meets my stare with a challenging glare, I couldn't hold up his gaze, so I waver away.
• Fred's parents stand up from their seats.
• "So, we should get going Samuel. We have to meet up with our lawyer to start preparations" Mr Russell said.
• He shake hands with dad.
• " No problem!" Dad replied.
• "We'll see soon" mom said as she gives Mrs Russell a hug.
• I hear Fred mutter something under his breath, I don't know if I got it right. But it sounds like "thank God".
• Then he starts rushing towards the door, but his mom called him back.
• "Fred?"
• "Yeah" he replied grumpily.
• She look between Fred and I. Fred give her a confused look, me too, I'm also confused. Why is she looking at us?.
• Seeing that Fred isn't getting her sigh, she rolls her eyes and turns to me.
• "Eva, aren't you going back to the University today?" She asked me.
• "Yes, Aunty" I answered.
• "Then you and Fred should go together"
• "What?!" Fred exclaimed.
• Then everyone turned to face him, noticing everyone's gaze on him, he released a nervous laugh.
• "I mean, it's a very good idea, but I don't have enough gas in my car. I'm not sure it'll last for three hours drive" he said.
• "Oh, that's bad" his dad said and I see Fred smirk. "But you came with your credit card, right?"
• He taps his pants pocket, check his jacket's pockets then he shake his head.
• "No, I didn't" he said.
• I scoffed mentally. He's just looking for excuses not to go with me.
• "Well, I'm in a good mood today. So I'll give you my credit card, use it" his dad said and give his card to Fred.
• "But dad....."
• "Thank me later" his dad said.
• Fred glared at the card in his hand, his jaw clenched. Then he rushed out with a tight smile.
• Hmm. I pray this guy doesn't kill me after our marriage.
• I turn to my parents.
• "Mom, dad. I should go now, I'll call you guys when I arrive" I told them.
• They give me a brief hug and kiss my forehead.
• "Take care if yourself" my Mom said.
• I nod and head outside.
• Fred
• I walked out the house angrily, I enter my Ferrari and close the with a very loud slam. I'm so damn angry.
• Why must ugly Eva go back with me?
• I was trying to avoid her but dad wouldn't take the hint, that's why we don't get along.
• I see ugly Eva come out of the house and head towards my car. She reached for the back door. I wind down and stuck my head out.
• "Ugly, what are you doing?" I asked her through gritt teeth.
• "I.. I.. I.."
• Why the fuck is she stuttering!
• "Can't you talk? You're already ugly enough, speak!"
• I see her flinch back a little.
• " I wanna get in the car" she said almost in a whisper.
• " And what do you think am I, your driver?"
• " I don't.... "
• " Get in the damn front seat!"
• "Oh!"
• Then she brings her dumbass to the front and get in. Then I set off going on 99 MPH.
• Eva
• Fred didn't give me time to put on the seatbelt. My eyes grow wide in fear at the speed he is going on, my breathing became rough.
• I lean back on the chair and hold the seatbelt for dear life.
• "F-fred..."
• "Don't say my name!" He yells at me.
• I nod frantically trying to figure out how to address him, cause I don't wanna anger him more and make us crash.
• "Can...." I pause and close my eyes. "Can you please slow down?"
• I hear him laugh sinisterly.
• "Nope!"
• "But I'm scared"
• "That's not my problem"
• "But..."
• "Shut the fuck up! I don't want to hear your annoying voice" he yells then he slams on the brakes and I feel him increases the speed.
• "Do you have a death wish?" I asked.
• "With you, yes!"
• What kind of human being is he? Doesn't he care other people's emotions?.
• I open my eyes as I feel tears running down my cheeks.
• "Oh my God! We're gonna crash! We're gonna die! I don't wanna die! I'm too young, I'm too young to die.... "
• "Ugly! Shut up! This is how I drive my car, so deal with it!"
• I closed my eyes and starts praying for our safety.
• *******
• Journey that's meant to take three hours, took us only 1hr 30mins. And finally we made it to LA safely.
• He stops the car in front of my apartment and I step out. I released a long breath that I don't even know I was holding.
• This is the worse car drive I've ever had. I turned to Fred and raise my hand to wave him, but he glared at me and I drop my hand. Just when I turned to head to my apartment, I remembered something.
• I turn back to Fred.
• "Excuse me, can I get your house address?"
• "Why?"
• "I'm supposed to move in this evening"
• He frown and look ahead for a moment.
• "I'll ask someone to come get you" he doesn't wait for me to say anything, he drives off in his insane speed.
• I sigh and head toward my apartment. I open the door and step in. Aubrey isn't home since I use my key to open the door, I guess she's at work right now. I hope she gets back before I leave.
• I slope on the sofa, and close my eyes to get some sleep. Whenever I'm on my period, I feel tired and dizzy. I hate my life.
• A little sleep and I'll get something to eat.
• ********
• I wake up to the ringing of my doorbell. I rub my eyes and peep through the window, a loud gasp leaves my mouth at once.
• The outside is dark. Then my head snap to the wall clock, it's already 6:53pm. How did I managed to sleep for that long?.
• I hurried to the door and see a guy almost my age, or maybe a few years older than me standing by the door, with his hands in his pocket. He has a smile on.
• "Hello" he greets me.
• "Hello, are you looking for someone?" I asked.
• " Yeah, she goes by ugly Eva!" He said.
• Ugly Eva? I unconsciously touched my face.
• He chuckled.
• " Ok, from your reaction I can tell you're Eva" he said.
• I nod wordlessly staring at him.
• "How did you know my name?"
• " Fred sent me. So where's your luggage?"
• Right. I almost forget about that. Wait.... I haven't even pack my stuff.
• "Can you please wait for, erm.... Ten minutes?" I asked him.
• " Yeah, sure" he replied.
• I close the door and dash to my room. I take out my luggage and start to pack the most important things I need. The first thing I put in is my pads and tampons, I don't joke with that, especially not now.
• I pack my body wash, hair wash, and towels. Pack some of my clothes, then I enter the bathroom to wash myself and change.
• Only girls can relate here
• I step out and drag my luggage out with me. Then I remembered that Aubrey still isn't back, I'll make sure to call her later.
• I open the door and step out. The guy takes the luggage from me and drag it to the boot. He opens the door for me and I enter the car, I smiled at him.
• "Thank you"
• "You're welcome" then he gets in and start the car.
• The drive is in total silence. I keep thinking about my life.
• Just yesterday I was a single girl who just admitted into the most popular University in LA. Now, I'm an engaged girl, who'll get married in two weeks. What a luxurious life!.
• The car slows down and park in a garage. I open the door and step out.
• The building in front of me is so big, with Russel written on top. I guess the Russells have this penthouse, after all they are filthy rich.
• I wonder how my parents get to know them in the first place.
• The guy lead me into the building, he use his key card to open the door and we both enter the house.
• I look around in awe! The living room is literally trice the size of my apartment. Just when I want to admire the beauty of the living room, I see Fred walking down the stairs towards us, well towards me. I didn't notice that the guy is long gone.
• "I see you are here" he said.
• I nod. I take in his dressing, he's dressed in all black. He is very different from what I saw in the morning, here, bad boy vibes surrounds him.
• This was how he was dressed the first time I saw him.
• "Good. I won't be here to give you a tour, cause I'm not even cut out for that. Your room is upstairs, count two rooms, the third one is yours"
• " Thanks" I take my luggage and made to go up, but he stops me.
• "I'm not done yet. If you wanna live with me in peace, you'll have to follow some rules"
• Rules? Really?.
• " 1. Don't call me by my first name, it's Mr Russell to you.
• 2. Don't touch my stuff.
• 3. Stay away from my room.
• 4. I have lots of girlfriends you are not allowed to question anyone when they come in.
• 5. Don't bring your friends to my house.
• 6. Don't let me see you anytime I'm around. Your ugly face is disgusting"
• I sigh. All these rules are not even reasonable. But it nod in agreement anyway.
• "Ok"
• Then he head towards the door.
• "I'm going to a club, I'll bring in one of my girlfriends. Don't let her sees you" then he left.
• Jerk! Even though I love him, I'll make sure to avoid anything that will sabotage our relationship.
• I drag my luggage upstairs to settle in my room. Wait... He didn't tell me if it's too room after or two rooms before.
• Ugh! What am I gonna do now.
• I enter the first room I see, then I fall into the bed and close my eyes. This better not be his room.
