Ronald's POV
I do not even know the best word to describe what just happened now.
I never knew my offense in having sex with my supposed wife for the first time in two weeks since we started our honeymoon.
I still find it difficult to understand what is wrong with Grace. She looked so calm and loving.
For a moment, I was almost fooled to think that my mum must be a super woman for finding such a beautiful and wonderful lady for an arranged marriage.
Now, I know better than to think that the ladies of this generation are any different. They are all selfish and self centered creatures who are after their own benefits.
I knew that this honeymoon was over after her display today. I felt like stopping this immediately but sadly, I was forced to do away with my phone and any form of connection to the outside world.
We were both made to this by my mum. She wanted us to bond with each other on a deeper level. She felt that disconnecting us with other parts of the world will suddenly make us build a stronger bond. If only she knew that it would turn out to be something that neither of us could manage, she would have sought for a better alternative.
Well, I have to find a way to live with this devil, at least for the next two weeks before we return home and dissolve this whole idea of a fake marriage.
*****
Two weeks later
I woke up this morning to see the light rays entering my room through the little opening from the curtain on my window.
I could not believe it. Another new day with this stranger who I called my wife.
I picked up my phone and noticed that it was already few minutes past seven. Today is our last day in this island that was meant to bring us together but instead of bringing us together, it only destroyed any little connection that we have managed to build.
I stepped out of my room towards the living room and Gracewas there sitted watching some telenovela on the television.
"well, today is our last day in this island" I said to her not sure if she will bother to give me a response.
"I know, Ronald" she replied without even trying to look at me
"at least, I will not be spending any more time with a miserable soul" she continued after a while when I had totally forgotten that I started a conversation with her.
"it is quite unfortunate that we have to end our honeymoon this way" I said to her remembering the first day we got to this island.
"your honeymoon, you mean?" she asked me
"I do not understand what you mean by my honeymoon" I said to her
"it is your honeymoon because this whole idea of a fake marriage is just to achieve your selfish ambition, Ronald" she replied.
"you are trying to make me look like the devil here" I said to her
"you do not look like the devil, Ronald. You are the devil. Meanwhile, I need to prepare my things so I can leave here as soon as the driver arrives. If you are hungry, your food is in the kitchen. At least, I am not as heartless as you are" she said to me standing up and moving towards another room.
I do not know what the hell has come over this lady. This is certainly not the person I agreed to marry in the first place. Well, i will have my breakfast and go to bed until the driver arrives so we can go to the airport and leave Ecuador for good.

I woke up some few minutes past two in the afternoon when I heard a voice, I mean the voice of Grace
"the driver is here, mister. Get your things ready so we can leave here immediately" she said to me
"so soon!" I exclaimed
"well, it is some few minutes past two and we need to leave Ecuador today so we can arrive early" she said to me
I was so surprised and shocked that she did not crown her words with an insult
"I have heard you, Grace. Let me take my shower and prepare so we can leave immediately" I said to her.
"OK, at least I will not have to spend another day with you in this lonely and God forsaken island" she replied.
I stood up from the bed sluggishly to get my shower.
Few minutes later, I came out of the bathroom trying to dry my body and get dressed up for the long journey.
Soon, I was done dressing and I was busy starting at the mirror admiring how handsome I looked through the mirror.
I stared at the blue turtle neck tee shirt I wore along with my black Jean trouser.
My matching black boots made me looked like a prince charming in the real sense.
I am truly surprised that Gracewas so blind not to notice how good looking I was.
Well, it would all be over very soon.
I stood up and left my room, staring at the room that has been my home in the last one month, especially in the last two weeks that Gracehas been behaving like a stranger.
I left the room only to be met with a big surprise that I never saw coming.
I stared at Grace and I could not believe that I had spent the last two weeks with such a beautiful woman.
Obviously, she had dressed in this manner just to make me feel jealous about her
It seemed like we were both trying to get back at each other.
"you look… Beautiful" I said not realizing what I said until the last words slipped out of my mouth.
"you are not looking bad either. At least your mum will agree that I tried to be a gre
at wife until you decided to allow the devil in you to take over your heart" she said to me
