Come With Me

I could still remember that right the next day, Robbie asked me out.

That was the first time that I had even seen him clearly. He looked tall and muscular with the suit that he was wearing. His face was chiseled and his lips were thin. I felt a sudden breeze of wind as I looked into his cold eyes.

His complexion was not fair, but somewhat similar to wheat. It looked good on him for it emphasized his masculine charm.

He seemed to give this kind of coldness that drove people away. And that made me feel suffocated with his overwhelming presence.

We sat down in a cafe. I ordered a cup of coffee, but Robbie didn't order anything. Without warning, he went straight to the point and said, "The person you need to marry is my brother, Rogelio. But as of now, he can't accompany you to get the marriage certificate, because he is a vegetable. He has been sleeping for almost a year now."

Upon hearing his words, I was stunned to my core.

However, Robbie continued with an understatement, "But then again, it's up to you. You can choose not to agree."

I didn't forget why I nodded my head and agreed to last night's deal! Because, I couldn't afford the price if I refused.

I thought for a while about what he said. With hesitation, I nodded in the end.

But I neglected one factor at that time. I had slept with Robbie. Why did he still want to marry me to his brother?

At that time, I just thought that since this marriage was not about love, then it was better to stay with a vegetable than to live with a stranger. Which was like what was happening between me and Robbie right now. In addition to the embarrassment, I could still vividly recall the scandalous pictures that were taken just last night.

Afterwards, Robbie accompanied me to get the marriage certificate—Rogelio Luo's and mine.

Right in my wedding day, there were no blessings from my family and friends, nor a simple meal which could have symbolized our wedding.

A marriage certificate, for other women, was the evidence to prove what their lifetime of happiness was. But for me, it was just like a leaflet from someone else when I went shopping.

After getting the marriage certificate, I was taken into the Luo family on that same day.
