As Hermosillo turned Nizsha's back facing the group of people. Her heartbeat oversounds her ears, and her breath she can't feel it. The moment her eyes meet qith Castine. She can feel the coldness of the air, it must be from the centralized aircon that surrounded the hall. Even she can't hear what Hermosillo said to those people because the pound of her heart was too deafining. But she was sure that she was introduce to them as Hermosillo's acquaintance. She even didn't give a word since she was pulled out by her kidnapper. She can't wake up until then a laugh resounds and the sound of the passing cars. She restore her consciousness and noticed she was inside the car and is now on their way back.
"Goodness I really can't believe they even fall for that. Your act was pretty good back there." Hermosillo laughs as he keeps on slapping her hands on the wheel.
Wait? What? What was these guy mean?
To gave you a little recap. Hermosillo was indeed the man who played girls heart. But beyond that he kept on bragging about a girl who was soon to be his wife. That he was betrothed by his parents when he was a boy. And he keeps on throwing these reasons everytime she breaks up with her ladies. Even his friends don't believe about the his fixed marriage since they knew Shantelle family exercise the freedom on choosing a wife.
Going back the time Hermosillo introduce Nizsha. It's true that Nizsha was introduce to his friends but there is an additional description there.
"These Nizsha Reville, my fiancee.." and that makes the group shriek in surprise. And leaves the crowd grinning pulling the also stunned Nizsha. And keeps on repeating on his mind. The stupid reaction of his friends.
"Why are you laughing?"
"No it's just nothing." Hermosillo denies while holding his breathe to stop laughing.
Nizsha then noticed the road Hermosillo was going on a wrong way. The path they've taken was very different to dark and quiet. There was no house and Hermosillo's smile was creepy.
She remembers that some movies theme with horror and thrill have these kind of set up too. The killers smile while driving the car taking their victims in a wild place and do there crimes. Because of these fear Nizsha slowly unfastened her seatbelt and placing her right hand to the car's doorhandle. Her mind keeps pn saying 'if the car stops don't hesitate to run.'
They arrive on a dull colored mansion. There was a howl of canines echoing the night. As the gate opened by itself it creates an eerie sound making her feel uncomfortable. The car drives passed the fountain slowing it's speed ready to stopped.
As the wheels stopped turning exactly at the mansions entrance, in flash Nizsha opened the door and run. Hermosillo was surprised to see Nizsha running away, instantly folowing her.
Nizsha runs slow since the broken heels she's wearing slows her down, along with the stapples keep poking her skin. Hermosillo grabbed her hand and asked where she's going. When Nizsha look back the fear was completely written on her face. It made Hermosillo guess it easily.
The guy laugh and let's go on Nizsha's hands. Because of his reaction she feels akward and calms down.
"Well ms. fearful lady. I would like to welcome you to the Shantelle's palace." Hermosillo announced.He invites her go inside and meet his family. Feeling ashamed she immediately follows.
As they entered the house a huge living room welcomed them. There awaits Hermosillo's grandmother seating on a wheelchair. Alongside was it's caretaker. He then pays respect to the old lady and Nizsha also do the same thing.
The old woman laughs knowing the girl also pays respect. "I never thought there are still kind and courteous ladies in these generation." she said.
Nizsha smiled awkwardly and signals Hermosillo a 'what's going on' look. Hermosillo only smiled to ease her. A second later his mother arrived and welcome them. Then a pretty face but posseses rude expressions followed his mother. She was introduced as Czahanara, Hermosillo's sister.
Hermosillo pulled her on the corner side and whispered on her ear. "Help me out just these moment. I'll pay you back with thousands. Just pretend you're my fiancee." Upon hearing Hermosillo Nizsha was shock.
"I know you don't like the sound of my idea. You're presence these whole time was just an act okey. I promise my grandmother to bring my fiancee. In which I don't have one. But promise I will really pay you a fair sum tomorrow." Hermosillo pleads amd offered her a diamond ring to wear.
Nizsha who doesn't like the idea of fake lovers had no choice. Besides she still has the fear of being killed since Hermosillo's looks was very not friendly. She then takes the ring and sarcastically smiled.Then goes to the couch to be be seated.
Nizsha can't believe an old lady could last until midnight cause it keeps on asking her questions about where they meet and how's his grandson. While she gaves honest answers and Hermosillo adds fantasy details to make her grandmother believe. Only miss Devine knew everything and was also relieve that Nizsha works with them.
Their conversation stops when Mrs. Devine pardoned her mother-in-law about Nizsha's rest since she still has a school tomorrow. That's then the old woman bids goodnight. Hermosillo followed his mother after then because he was asked to follow cause the grandmother has something to say.
Nizsha feels awoward to Czahanara's presence. Specially because it has nothing to do but keeps on staring at her making her uncomfortable. Base on it's looks it clearly shows she doesn't like Nizsha's presence on their family.
"Don't feel too welcome miss nobody. You're not the only one being brought by my brother introduced as her girlfriend." Czahanara sarcastically informed her.
Nizsha snorts and that adds up Czahanara's anger and dislike. She feels like Nizsha doesn't respect her and make her look dumb. When infact Nizsha can't believe Czahanara doesn't know she was just hired to act. She don't have a plan to tell her the truth cause she loves to fool too serious people.
"Girlfriend? So I doesn't count to one of those girlfriends. I am the fiancee. Your future sister-IN-LAW." She teased as if highlights the word in-law to make Czahanara burst in annoyance.
Just right in time Hermosillo fetch her to take her in her room. He asked her what they were talking about, but Nizsha lied and said, "She just express delight towards me being here." smiled scornfully to Czahanara. They leave Czahanara on the living room with irritation.
