Handsome, rich, so the target of many women makes Jerome Fernandez's life look so perfect. However, of the many women who wanted to be his lover, only Alanis Swan was not the least bit attracted by the man's charm. But who would have thought, Jerome and Alanis, who already had their own partners, had to accept the arranged marriages that their parents had planned since they were still small. United in a marriage bond that is based on love, they even openly wave flags of war against each other. Can the two of them survive the marriage bond? Or does one of them have to give up on the situation and finally separate?
The marriage of the only heir to the Fernandez family has just been completed. After holding a press conference and answering so many questions from the media crew, it was time for the bride and groom to leave to rest.
So while in one of the hotel rooms, both unwind. Looking for each other's position to stretch their muscles for hours stOliverng, serving the guests.
"Are you tired? You can sleep here with me." Jerome, the groom, deliberately patted his palms on the mattress. Suggesting that the woman who had officially become his wife a few hours ago lay beside him.
Of course, Jerome was playing around. How could he sleep with a woman he did not love?
"You should have given up and chose to sleep on the couch, Jerome Fernandez. I am a woman." Alanis pursed her lips. She didn't want to accept Jerome's invitation to sleep in the same bed.
Jerome laughed seductively. He loved seeing Alanis upset like she was right now.
"Oh come on, honey. Are you sure you don't want to sleep with me? I'm your husband. It's very common for husband and wife to sleep together and do the first night ritual, right?"
Alanis snorted indignantly. She felt like throwing up hearing Jerome's babbling. She swore she would kick the man out of the way if she weren't tired.
"Fine, if you don't want to give in, I'll sleep in another room. Doesn't this hotel have a lot of rooms?" said Alanis.
Jerome smiled in response to Alanis's annoyance.
"Please sleep in separate rooms, Mrs. Fernandez. So I'll make sure that tomorrow your name will appear in every news headline."
Alanis growled. Feels like everything she does looks awry. It was doubtful that he slept in the same bed as Jerome. Even though their current status as husband and wife, she didn't want anything wrong to happen between them. Even sleeping in a different room is not the right choice. Of course, the paparazzi made this a fine meal for their headlines. Ah, no way; it definitely can't happen until a crazy idea pops into Alanis's head.
The woman suddenly smiled broadly at what she was thinking at the moment. Hopefully, what she has planned this time will work. The next second, Alanis stepped confidently towards where Jerome was lying.
With confidence, she landed her petite body right beside the man. Adjust the position to face Jerome's body directly.
"Come on, husband, let's sleep. Don't you want to hug me, so I don't feel cold?" Alanis unexpectedly wrapped her arms around Jerome's waist and rested her head on the man's arm.
Suddenly, Jerome was taken aback. He didn't expect Alanis to reply openly to the game he deliberately created.
"Why daydream?" she asked. "Should I take off my pajamas first so that our first night goes perfectly?" Alanis brought her fingers to touch Jerome's cheek gently. While the man could only remain silent stiffly see his wife's behaviour now.
A moment later, Alanis straightened up. Then she began to direct her hands to unbutton the pyjama she was wearing one by one.
"What are you doing?" asked Jerome in between the hot activities his wife was creating.
Alanis smiled seductively at Jerome.
"Undressed all my clothes. So what else?"
Jerome took a deep breath and let it out harshly. He was suddenly frustrated with Alanis's behaviour.
"Stop it, Al!" ordered the man while holding Alanis's fingers to stop unbuttoning her pyjamas. "Okay, this time, you win. Please enjoy your bed. I will sleep on the sofa tonight."
Annoyed, Jerome stepped out of bed. He immediately lay down on the sofa bed available in their room.
"Yes!" Alanis shouted in her heart. She looked delighted because her game again made Jerome have to give up. Alanis is starting to understand what her husband's weakness is at this point.
"Don't be happy just yet. I swear I will repay you in the future!"
Alanis didn't seem to care. Choose to pull the blanket to cover her entire body. Leaving Jerome, who was still awake, feeling annoyed.
"We'll see, Mr Arrogant, who survives or finally gives up on this damn marriage!"
