CHAPTER 2

Seeing Shiela and his evil mother-in-law leaving, he clenched his fist in extreme anger. He has a hunch that they are up to something. Whatever that is, he knew it concerns him as well. He walked silently until he reached out the outside of his room overlooking the ground floor of their house where his father-in-law was waiting for them and not too long, they got in his father-in-law's car and left. Without any hesitation, he followed them using his rusty bicycle.

It was a very tiring journey for Marco, but he knew that he had no other choice left. Curiosity led him to follow them. Two hours later, his father-in-law's car stopped, and the three of them walked into a huge modern building. Marco felt an extreme headache and a blurred memory suddenly came into his mind. He took his chewable medicine and felt relieve.

The building is owned by the Mr. Gonzales family who owned most businesses worldwide. However, Marco forgot that his wife brought him here few days later after he was found by his mother-in-law. Then, a very handsome guy dressed in corporate attire showed up and greeted Shiela. Marco felt jealous but he knew that it was not the right time to be reckless.

"What took you so long? Everyone is waiting inside already. To be exact, there are 20 people waiting inside a private room and some elders were not happy with you being late!" said the handsome guy as the smile on his face disappeared.

Simon, Shiela's father gave an apologetic grimace to the handsome guy. "Sorry, in as much as we'd like to come earlier, we were stuck in a heavy traffic!"

"That excuse is overused!"

Marco thought it would be useless to stay in this place so he left.

"Forget about it. Sit down and let us come inside!" uttered the handsome guy. There was an authority on his voice.

They entered inside the building and went to the 15th floor and an old guy appeared the moment the elevator opened.

"Grandpa, Mr. Gonzales said that as long as our family sends a beautiful lady to hang out with him, for a couple of days, then he would agree to lend us some money with low interest. To be exact, that is a whooping one hundred million. So we must do whatever he wants to make that happen!"

"Very well, Raymart. You are truly my incredible grandson," he turned his gaze to Shiela. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever soon so far," he turned to face her younger sister OIivia. "So do you!"

Shiela's face turned red upon hearing the unexpected compliment by a stranger. Now that your family is at stake, which one of you is willing to sacrifice?"

The frustration was plain to see in Olivia's facial expression. Therefore, she was the first person to react. "I am sorry, I am engaged to my longtime boyfriend. If the news goes out, my marriage will be ruined. Besides, I just got my period yesterday. Pardon me, but I can't do it... not now!"

Simon glared at Olivia but she unexpectedly cried. Inside her mind, she declined the offer because she knew that Mr. Gonzales would definitely choose her. She could still remember that her boyfriend was attracted to Shiela the first time they met each other. But she was happy to see her sister in a very miserable situation as he married a trash guy whom she thinks is the most stupid man alive.

Raymart's grandfather looked at Shiela. "Your family is in danger, would you want to see them suffer like this?"

"I am still married with Marco. If he finds out about this, my marriage would be ruined!"

Simon immediately butts in. "That stupid trash again? Did I not tell you that he is a useless person? You will need to divorce that guy so our family can have a much better life. If you are really worried about him, then let me disclose this arrangement!"

"Your father is right," said Elsie. "I don't like doing this, but our house is already for sale!"

"Nope! You can still keep your marriage with your husband, just don't let him be in our way. I believe Mr. Gonzales will not check your background history so there is nothing to worry about!"

Two men approached Raymart's grandfather and whispered to him and left.

"I am sorry, I need to go now. By the way, I am Mr. Ybanez and I look forward to seeing you in the conference, and do not force yourself to answer, Shiela!"

He left and Raymart escorted them inside the area where the party is being held. As soon as they sat on the chair, Elsie mumbled to Sheila after noticing her disturbing long face. "What is wrong with you, sweetheart? Are you not happy to be here?"

"I already made up my mind, I am going to date Mr. Gonzales if that's what we need to survive!"

Elsie and Olivia grinned, they do not expect that she would make an abrupt decision and date a guy whom she never met.

"That's what I would like to hear from you, sweetheart! You made the right decision to finally leave that trash husband of yours!" said Elsie.

Olivia knew that she would also benefit from the wealth of Mr. Gonzales and spoke out of excitement. "We should find Raymart's grandfather and tell him about this!"

"No... we will meet Mr. Gonzales in just a bit! There is no need to rush things, they will come!"

"Pardon me mother, I was so saddened to know that our house is already for sale. We have had built a lot of memories together in that house and it really makes me cry to see how things finally turn to our favor. Also, I wanted Marco to get out of that house. Our bad luck started to happen when we accepted that trash to be a part of our family!"
