"Lazel Hyrroz," I said her name firmly and coldly. I followed him until we entered his room. He unbuttoned his uniform after collapsing, dropping his backpack on the bed. "I'm tired. Don't bother me now," he told me coldly without looking at me. "That's why I'm asking you why you're here now and where did you go to come home at this hour?" I asked strictly. He completely took off his white polo shirt and left only the shirt he was wearing. "You know? You have so many roles in my life," he mockingly promised and faced me. His face was still emotionless and he didn't change the way he looked at me, as if he could see my soul as well. "You are no longer just a mother, sister and brother. Now, your role is that of a strict father who waited for his own son who didn't come home last night but only now thought of going home," he added at length and even grinned. "You've grown up, Lazel Hyrroz. Even if you are no longer in the power of your parents, remember that there is one more person who will worry about you," I stated the fact. "You? Are you the person who will worry about me? I'm just your wife on paper and I didn't ask you to worry about me. I told you from the very beginning not to interfere with me and I will do the same to you," he promised firmly. That's how he really is. His heart is so hard and he really doesn't care about me or even my feelings. "Lazel Hyrroz..." "If you have nothing more to say, go out, Grandma?" he said with an insult in his voice. This time he called me Grandma. I just sighed because of his bad behavior and his bad treatment of me. I turned back when he finally took off his white shirt. "You've already seen my body, so why are you still avoiding me? You liked what we did last night, didn't you? You took advantage of me while I was out of my mind and drunk," he insulted me and it was as if those words just slapped me. My chest rose and fell violently because of my shortness of breath. "Before you go to sleep, take a shower or wash your body and if you haven't eaten, just heat up the food I cooked earlier," I said and I heard her loud chuckle again and the bed moving, a sign that he sat there. "Yes, Manang." I closed my eyes tightly because of him calling me. I went to the door of his room and closed it softly. I stopped for a moment in front of the door and leaned. The corners of my eyes are burning and I feel like crying. Heavy in the chest. Is that why he just came home now? Because in over a year something happened to us only once? We were both drunk and I don't even remember what we did. I'm really asking myself. How long will we be like this, Lazel Hyrroz? When I wake up every morning, my uniform is neatly ironed on the sofa bed. Even my black shoes are ready. In the kitchen, there is food already prepared and there is a sticky note on the fridge. I took it and read what was written. His penmanship is neat and beautiful. Even so, I still don't like it. "Don't forget to eat your breakfast before you go to school, Lazel Hyrroz." Calysta After I read that I crumpled the paper and threw it in the trashbin. I opened the fridge and got cold water. I opened the lid and took out the contents. I even looked at the breakfast that was ready on the table but like I often do, I didn't touch it and I didn't even eat. I entered the university with an empty stomach. It's okay, Hanemira often makes fun of me. So I only eat my breakfast at school. "You didn't have breakfast again, did you?" I just smiled at his question and smiled slowly. At the same time he held my hand and gave me the spoon. "I still cooked that." His cooking was not that good but I still appreciated it. Because...she's the only girl I want. When I got home, I expected to find him sitting in the living room. He was drinking coffee and busy with his laptop again. "You didn't eat your breakfast again. You didn't even touch them," he told me. The corners of my lips rose. As long as he always said that to me, I memorized those words. "Who told you to cook my breakfast?" I asked him and I heard him sigh again. In fact, I have no feelings for him. I don't like her and I will never love a woman who is ten years apart from each other. We only got married because he was richer than my family and our company only needed him. That is the only reason why I put up with this crowded home. I ignored him and went up the stairs but before that I stopped to ask him about this matter. "For you, what is love?" He suddenly turned to me and was obviously confused as to why I asked him that. "Why are you asking me that?" she asked me back. "I just want to know your opinion. What is love for you?" I asked, curious to know his opinion. What is his view on love? "Love destroys a person's life." I raised an eyebrow at what he said. In what way is it damaging? "When it comes to your life, you will feel the gradual destruction of your life." "What a mess you said. I don't understand anything," I said. He stared at

Chapter 1 planned for our wedding

Chapter 1

CALYSTA DANIELLA CALVANTES' POV

I was just playing with the ballpen I was holding in my fingers. Papa and Grandpa Ced are inside my office. They were sitting next to each other while I was on the single sofa.

Grandpa sipped his coffee latte noisily and even asked my secretary to buy it at Starbucks. Papa, on the other hand, just distracted himself by reading the magazine. In the middle of my works, they actually sent me here.

"You will marry one of the sons of the Valdiviño family, Calysta," said my Papa.

Papa and Grandpa Ced and I have talked about it at the mansion but it looks like they are reminding me again. Because they seem to be in a hurry.

They are the two who will choose the man I will marry. I will not complain about their decision. Because they know I have no intention of settling down. Because I pay more attention to my company and work.

I don't have time to date guys I don't want to meet anymore.

"How many children does the Valdiviño family have, Papa?" I asked him. Honestly, I have no interest in that family.

According to what they also told me, the Valdiviño company is no longer operating properly and it seems that it is just a ship that is about to sink in the ocean while it is in the middle of a strong typhoon or crisis.

Their business is about to close so this is also one of the reasons why they planned for our wedding and to catch that family in the near crisis of their lives.

"Three, but that's the oldest son," answered my father and I looked at Grandpa. Maybe he will also answer my question.

"He is the eldest son, grandchild," Lolo Ced said with a smile. I nodded and didn't ask any more questions. They already said it.

I don't care about the man they chose and especially his face. Even though I didn't know him or I didn't see it, I didn't have any interest. I can't be chosen either. It's just that I don't have time to entertain the lovers I used to have that I still have. Which I hate sometimes, especially when they send me flowers and chocolates. I'm not fond of that.

"Civil wedding first, Calysta. Then it's your grand wedding day," Daddy said to which I just nodded. Whatever they want, I will follow them. Like I said earlier, I won't complain. Then they won't vote for someone whose behavior they think they don't like.

"Aren't you going to ask us anything about the man you're going to marry, grandson?" Grandpa asked me softly. This is how he talks to me. I shook my head and just shrugged.

"We are the only ones who will tell you, son. Your Grandfather and I both know that you don't really care about a man's physical appearance.

Do you know Valiant University?" Dad asked. What is the connection of that school with the son of the Valdiviño family?

I know Valiant University, because I once saw it on TV NEWS that how beautiful the environment they have there.

"The university where the people who have the ability in life study?" Instead of an answer, I returned them a question. I licked my lower lip and gently nodded. "I know it's beautiful. So, is he a professor or President of VU? Dean?" I asked them and they both shook their heads. "If not, what is his job there?" I asked with raised eyebrows.

"He studies at that university, Calysta." I nodded again.

"Master of Degree? If that man was only my age, maybe he was in medical school or Law?" I asked now that I was curious about the job that man had.

"No," Grandpa answered quickly.

"If he is not among the ones I mentioned. Well, what is his job? Don't tell me a security? Because you said their business is going down," I said. I didn't even mean to say those words just came out of my mouth.

It's not like I'm poor, eh. I also help people in need but that's all I thought he could do at VU. But neither. Because he is still studying.

"He is still in his first year of college, school of Engineering," my father said and my eyebrows crossed. I let go of the ballpoint pen I was holding and it rolled to their side, before it fell to the floor Papa caught it.

F-First year college? I expected that man to be younger than me then.

"His age?" I asked once again.

"He's 18 years old, Calysta."

I can't believe I'm looking at them from side to side. "18... is it really 18 years old?" I asked with surprise still in my voice and I don't think I can get over it.

"Yes, Calysta. He is just a freshman at Valiant University," said Papa. I feel like I'm going deaf from Papa's voice that I hear over and over again.

"Is he really the oldest son in their family? W-Do you have no choice but...a child?" I'm sure. Maybe it's because he has an older brother than me, right?

"One of his brothers is already married, so we didn't take your Grandpa with us anymore. In fact he is a second child."

If he is 18 years old and now I am 28 years old. In that case...ten years. The age gap between the two of us is ten years?!

God... I don't know how I will deal with him when we meet. It's surprising. The gap between us is so big and I feel like I don't want to agree anymore. I want to back out immediately. I can't imagine that I can only marry a child?!

"'Pa, 'Lo... Are you sure about your decision to marry the 18 year old VU student to me? Aren't you just shocked?" I asked more and I immediately felt stressed.

"We are absolutely sure, Calysta." My jaw dropped to the floor because of the shock.

"Oh good God..." I exclaimed and it seemed as if any insect could enter my mouth because of its size.

Calysta Daniella Carvantes, 28 years old. I was only 21 when Dad turned over his position as president of Carva Home's Shopping to me. Our products are household items or any type of mansion.

I am also the only grandson of Grandfather Ced, so his company also went to me. I can manage all that well and they have confidence in me even though I'm a girl. Because being an entrepreneur is in our blood. Lolo Ced had two children, but it is said that he died of heart disease when he was still young. So he also had a grandson with Papa and that's me.

Then...I'm just going to marry an 18 year old student of Valiant University?! Doesn't that sound like child abuse? But neither. The man is of the right age.

But the fact is still a fact! He's too young for me!

I fell into bed and was exhausted from the day. This is the first day of school at Valiant University but the professors have already made us do a lot. I still expected that maybe there would be no class and only orientation but it was not.

Someone knocked on the door of my room and my younger sister, Yazel, peeked in there.

"What?" I asked him.

"Daddy wants to talk to you, Kuya. Mommy and I are in the library," he answered me and I sighed violently.

"Get out," I just said and before heading to the library, I took a shower.

I knocked on the door three times and only then did I turn it open when I heard Dad's voice.

"Sit down," he promised coldly and I followed suit.

Kuya Kazel is also here inside and I know what we are going to talk about today is important.

"Why, Dad?" I immediately asked.

"Do you know the state of our company, Lazel?" he asked me back. I shook my head because I had no idea.

All I know is that we only have a small business. That Daddy set up when he and Mommy were just before they got married. They both come from poor backgrounds but because of their hard work and perseverance, their lives and marriage have also been good. They were able to build a business and we, their children, also benefited.

"If it is compared to a fruit and if it has been harvested for a long time, whether it has been touched or not, it will still rot. Just like our company, the longer he goes on the longer he sinks like a ship in the sea. Especially if its only foundation is gone."

"What do you want to happen, Dad? Just say it straight," I said. Because I don't want to swim anymore. I want you to be straight so I can understand better.

"That fruit, Lazel. We are looking for someone who can harvest so that he does not rot on the tree." I know the words coming out of Dad's mouth have meaning but I still don't understand him.

"What's that, Dad?"

"And we need you to be able to grab it," Kuya Kazel replied and I looked at him. My eyebrows are raised because I can't figure out what they want to tell me without my confusion. "Dad and I have decided to unite our family with the Carvantes family," he added his words and at the same time my mother entered the library.

"I have already set a schedule to meet their family. Lazel, get ready to meet your fiancé." As expected, Mommy is like that. He is straight forward when he talks.

To Be Continued....
