" here sir" I handed the cab driver my phone to show him the location, I couldn't speak Korean so I tried my luck by handing him the address. He knew exactly where I was heading and we reached the Korean restaurant in just an hour. The cab driver told me it was pronounced " Genwa Korean BBQ ", I thanked him for the help. I looked everywhere for Alisha but she was running late, which was usual. After 30 min without waiting any further I went inside and ordered some bibimbap. I was starving since I didn't take breakfast and when the food got served, oh boy! It looked mouth-watering. After taking a bite the flavors melted in my mouth like cotton candy, it was spicy but the egg in it perfectly balanced the flavor.
" oh look! There she is " someone from behind said. I looked back and found Alisha with...Gena.

" why didn't you invite me, Gena? " I asked
" because I didn't want to " she replied
"Please! What did I do wrong to you? " I pleaded to know
" Nothing, I like seeing you miserable " she replied
"How could you," I said slightly hitting her shoulder.
" You dared to touch me!? Do you know how expensive this is? " she replied pushing me onto the ground.
" let's give her a makeover " Gena continued with a smirk and her minions held down my wrist on the ground. Gena took out her lipstick and started drawing on my face, I struggled to be freed but I couldn't protest against four people. She grabbed a pair of scissors and started cutting my hair, something I have always loved. Angry tears were rolling down from my eyes and I had it, I pushed them back with all my strength but it resulted in the scissors stabbing my stomach. The look on Gena's face made it clear she was horrified, she ran away with her minions and I don't know how much time I spent laying there before passing out. But life was not done with me with a permanent ugly scar I woke up in the hospital next to my pissed of stepfather whose bill I accidentally increased, that was the second time I have witnessed him in a rage. When the cops asked me who did it I didn't tell them about the fight, we were just sixteen, we were young, and going to jail would've ruined Gena's life.

I couldn't swallow water when I saw Gena looking at me, the same way she looked at me one of those miserable nights of my life, they walked towards me and took a seat. Alisha ordered some teobboki ( a type of rice cake made in gochujang sauce), jjigae (Korean stew), Jajangmyeon, fried chicken, and Bulgogi for us all. I looked Alisha dead in the eyes while the waiter cleared my table and took my barely-eaten bowl of bibimbap. She explained how she ran across into Gena and insisted on taking her here, I was shocked, Alisha knew everything and I never expected her to behave so odd.
" you don't mind what happened years ago, do you serenity? " Gena asked
" ofc I don't " I replied with a dollar coaster of emotions crashing me down every minute.
That was the only conversation I had with both of them, they kept talking and talking pretending I didn't exist. When I quietly went and got back from the restroom, they didn't even notice. I realized they were far close than me and Alisha.
" Serenity, can you pay for us? You see I forgot my wallet " Alisha pleaded.
" but you said it was your treat " I replied
" don't be stingy serenity, pay up, " Gena said.
" just this once, please please please " Alisha pleaded even more and I was out of words. I was looking for my card at the counter when suddenly a tall man with a familiar voice appeared next to me and handed a black card to the cashier.
" Pay with this for my wife's bill. "
I looked up and found Val looking at the cashier, I always looked so tiny next to him.
" you don't have to " I hesitated
" I insist, my lady," he said with a slight grin on his face and I blushed.
" so introduce me to this little friend of yours," he said suddenly grabbing my palm and despite the urge to take it back, I didn't. My palms melted in his, for the first time I realized how long his palm and fingers were and it kinda made me feel secure being next to him always. He was warm and suddenly the scenario of him kissing me clouded my mind and I blushed even more. He looked down and asked
" what are you thinking, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐? "
" nothing " I replied "Oh! Here " I stopped by our table and took a seat, Val put down his coat on my freezing knees. Short dresses are always a bad choice when winters are near.
" Alisha and Gena, this is Val myโ " I continued
" The CEO of multi-international companies and the youngest rich bachelor " Alisha uttered interrupting me
" not anymore " Val replied with a clear sign of displeased written on his face. His cold self was back and it kinda felt good, for the first time. Maybe I was being selfish but I wanted his warmth to me and me only.
" oh yes. serenity told me about the contract " Alisha said
"What contract? " Val asked
My throat went dry, I did not tell him that Alisha knows everything. He looked at me and continued
" you are still mad at me, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐? " he asked
"Mad? " Gena asked
" oh yes, we had a tiny argument and I think my wife doesn't wanna accept me as her husband now " he replied while his palm slide down on my knees and he grabbed and squeezed my inner thigh. I blushed so brightly that I had to look away while trying to get his hand off down table, when I couldn't take it, I stood up and asked Val to take me back to the mansion.
" but you should spend some more time with us serenity," Gena said
" yes you should, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ " Val agreed with a slight smirk on his face which was obvious that this day is going to get worse.
" let's go shopping Val " Alisha suggested
Val looked at me and I agreed. We went back to that horrifying Mall. This time as husband and wife, it's been a matter of barely a month and we were already married.
" let's go shopping!! It's on serenity, right " Gena looked at me with a smirk
" ofc, right serenity? " Alisha looked at me and somewhat she was different.
" Sure, spoil yourself " Val replied on my behalf, and just when I tried to resist but he pulled me closer and looked right into my eyes, something about those beautiful eyes was telling me to stay calm and so I did, not like I had a choice.

We went from store to store. Gena and Alisha went all in and bought so many things, unnecessary ones like an air fryer Alisha didn't even know how to boil an egg. Gena's behavior made more sense because she did not like me but Alisha was literally born in a silver spoon and yet she acted so unusual, I was embarrassed. When it was time to check out both of Val's bodyguards were covered with bags which made the scene more miserable and when the bill came all of it was worth a million, my jaw dropped to the ground but Val didn't even flinch, just how rich was this guy to give away a million so easily? He casually handed the cashier his card and on our way out he stayed quiet.
" you got some spoiled friends " he leaned onto me and whispered on the back of my ears and I clinched onto his shirt to support my half-bent posture. When he withdraw himself back he looked at the two buffed men and signed them to put the things in the other car's trunk. We said bye to Alisha and Gena and I finally took a sigh of relief. By the time we were done, it was evening and I can't lie but I enjoyed the way he treated me. Maybe something in me still likes being spoiled.
" since when did you get two Bugatti," I asked
" ever since you were 10 " he replied
" I see U N C L E!! " I chuckled
Val looked at the driver and he stopped the car and headed out. I looked at him puzzled when he pulled me closer to him and pinned me down.
" I dare you to the day that again " he looked at me, seriously. I couldn't reply to him, I was just hopeless around him.
" I said to say that again ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ " he continued rolling down his hand on my thigh and spreading my legs. I couldn't help but blush and try to resist the urge to not want him. He pulled me on his lap and I clinched onto his shirt.
" you know you drive me crazy ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" he whispered so low that only I could hear it. He grabbed my waist and grinded me onto his lap while his other hand slowly unzipped my dress. I leaned onto his shoulder and clinched harder onto his shirt, I almost tore it up. We were so close that I could feel his thumping heart as every second went by. The urge was too hard to resist
" Val we shouldn'tโ " I said
" We shouldn't, what ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐? " he asked while kissing every inch of my neck
" the thing we are doing... " I replied burying my face in his chest
"You don't want it? " he stopped and asked me
" I don't....it's too early" I replied, hesitant.
" as you wish ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ " he replied while letting me go which was unexpected, he had loads of self-control. He helped me zip my dress and the whole ride turned into an awkwardly silent trip, maybe I should've allowed him to do so.
