Debby’s POV 👠
The next morning….
I stand in front of the full length mirror in Andre’s room and check out my outfit….a frown appear on my forehead and I pout.
I wore a floral blouse and shin-length pencil Sk-irt, showing off my thin legs, my entire look ending with ballet flats.
My brown hair cascaded smoothly down my back, outlining my slim jawline.
I don’t know if this is responsible enough to visit Andre’s parents…. like I don’t wanna embarras-s myself.
Right then, Andre steps out of his closet and I turn to him.
“Andre, do I look good in this?”
“Perfect!”
“Are you sure? I don’t want your parents to think I’m some irresponsible girl”
“I don’t nee-d their approval” he said bluntly.
It’s no use talking to him….I just pray his parents doesn’t look down on me.
I look at him, he’s dressed in his usual business suit.
“Are we going after work?”
“Yes… it’s lunch, Angel”
“Oh!” I forgot. “Let’s go to work then!”
I reach for my purse and we head out, just when we got to the living room, my phone beeped.
Maybe it might be Lucas…with Andre standing very close to me I don’t think I can check it now, I don’t wanna deal with his mood swing.
“Your phone”
“It’s not important”
We got to the dinning room, he pu-ll-ed out a chair for me and sat next to me.
I dropped me phone and purse on the table and begin to eat. Not up to two minutes my phone beep again…. before I could reach for it, Andre did.
From his expression I can tell it’s Lucas.. he slams my phone on the table and I pick it up.
But I guess wrong, it’s a text from Anna.
*Hey, Debby…. I have a new couple design, I was wondering if you and Lucas can come over to try it out tomorrow*
Damn me for not having a pas-sword!
“Lucas?! You have an appointment with him?!”
Does it look like I have an appointment with him…. the text was obviously Anna inviting us.
“Andre…..”
“You’re not going!”
Ugh! It’s too early to argue with him, I simply nod.
“Fine, I won’t go…. let’s eat”
He begin to stab on his salad angrily. I secretly replied Anna that I’ll be there…. Since I have no qualifications, modeling might be a good choice for me.
***********
We arrived at Knight’s milling Inc…
*Good morning, Mr Knight*
*Good morning, sir*
Everyone greets as they saw Andre and I walk in….. Andre arrogantly walked past them without acknowledging their greetings.
I rolled my eyes. I smiled politely at them and mutters silent good mornings to them.
Andre and I entered his pri-vate elevator…. I cleared my throat.
“Why didn’t you reply their greetings, Andre?” I asked him.
“I don’t have to!”
“You have to… Ignoring them like that is rude!” I scold him.
We stayed silent for a few minutes.
“I’m not familiar with them, how do I reply them?”
“A simple smile would do…. or you can just nod at them”
He sighed.
“Ok, next time” he said.
I nod and pat his back like a proud mother.
“Good boy!”
He glared at me…. pla-yfully?
“I’m a man!”
I rolled my eyes again.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever!”
We arrived at our floor and we stepped out of the elevator.
.
.
Time fly by and soon it’s time to meet Andre’s parents.
We’re currently in Andre’s car going to his parents’ house….I feel like this place looks familiar as he drives in.
Wasn’t this the house I c@m£ four days ago and was offered money to marry their son?
He parks in the garage and open the door for me and I c@m£.
He leads me towards the main door and rang the doorbell…
I’m suddenly feeling nervous… I know I’m just doing this to help him, but it feels like I’m meeting my in-laws.
I keep having these thoughts… What if they don’t like me? What if I say something wrong and offend them?
“Are you ok, Angel?” He asked putting his hand on the small of my back.
I exhale slowly and nod stiffly.
“Y-yeah” I said in a short stutter.
“Relax, I don’t care what they’ll say… All I know is you are mine!”
His words made me relax a little but his way of comforting someone is extraordinary.
He rings the doorbell again.

Writer’s POV 👠
Nora rushes out of the kitchen when she hears the doorbell ringing…. She takes off the apron around her w@!st and toss it on the counter.
“Ed, Andre and his girlfriend are here!” She called Mr Knight.
Due to her over excitement, she didn’t watch were she’s going and bu-mped into ma Doris.
Ma Doris hissed and glared at her.
“Nora! Watch where you are going!”
Nora simply rolled her eyes.
“Sorry, Mom” she apologise… but obviously she’s not a big sorry.
“What’s the rush?”
“Andre and his girlfriend are here”
Ma Doris scoffs.
“Then what’s do great about it?” She asked glaring at Nora.
Nora too return her glare.
Mr Knight walks in the living room and saw his wife and mother in a glaring contest.
He cleared his throat and breaks their contest.
“I heard you say Andre is here, Nora?”
“Yes, and tell Mom to be nice!” She replied and rushes off towards the door.
Ma Doris huffed angrily and points here f!nger speechlessly at Nora’s back….
“Mom, plea-se don’t say anything that will offend Andre today…. He ha-rd ly comes home to visit us” Mr Knight told her.
“Fine! I’ll just ask his girlfriend some questions!” She turns and head towards the door too.
Mr Knight sighs and follows her.

Debby’s POV 👠
“Andre!! You’re finally here!!” A woman squeals.
“Mom!” Andre smiled and hvgs his mother.
I raised my head and my mouth was left hanging…how can it be? Her?
She’s Andre’s mother?! So, Andre was the son they wanted to pay me to marry?!
This world is really a small place!
“How have you being?” She asked looking at Andre all over.
“I’m fine” he pu-lls me close. “Mom, meet my girlfriend, Debby!”
That’s when she turns her gaze fell on me….at first she’s shocked, then she brokers into a wi-de smile.
“It’s you!”
I nod… before I could blink, I found myself in a very ti-ght hvg.
“I can’t believe it’s you!” She exclaimed happily.
Right now I can ha-rd ly breathe, but I didn’t complain.
“plea-se, don’t tell Andre about our first meeting” she whispers in my ear.
“Ok!”
Actually she didn’t have to tell me that first, I alre-ady know Andre’s kind of person.
She re-leased me as someone clears their throats…. Mr Knight and an old woman stands by the door.
The old woman folds her arms on her che-st….she must be Andre’s grandmother.
“Miss Debby?” Mr Knight asked in a surprise tone.
Andre furrow his eyebrows.
“You knew each other?” He asked.
“Yeah, we…..”
Mrs Knight cuts him off with a cough…she pu-ll-ed him back and whisper something in his ears.
Andre look between them but didn’t say anything.
“Good afternoon Mr and Mrs Knight” I greets them politely.
“Good afternoon, dear” Mrs Knight replies.
The old woman steps forward and nudge Mrs Knight with a smile….though I can tell it’s a fake smile.
“Aren’t you gonna introduce me?”
I caught Mrs Knight rolling her eyes, but she quic-kly put on a smile….hmm, I guess their relationsh!pis not good.
“Dear, this is Andre’s grandmother” she said.
I nod and smiled at her.
“Good afternoon, grandma”
She smiled slyly.
“Don’t call me grandma yet….we don’t know if you’ll stay!” Then she marched in slamming the door.
I turned to Andre, he’s glaring daggers at the door where his grandma just went….his jaw clenched and I can hear his teeth grinding against each other.
I held his arm and smile at him. “Calm down” I whisper to him.
I glance at Mr and Mrs Knight, Mrs Knight is eyeing at Mr Knight.
Ok, I guess this lunch is gonna be very fun… there’s gonna be lots of drama.
With a bit-chy grandma….well, I’m so re-ady for her.
Mrs Knight laughs nervously.
“Come on in, dear….lunch is getting cold” she said.
I nod. “Thank you”
“Andre, let’s go in” I told him.
He shakes his head in disagreement…. plea-se, don’t tell me he’s gonna throw his tantrums again.
“I’m not going in” he said.
“Huh?”
“Let’s go back!”
Mrs Knight holds his arm.
“Andre…..”
Andre cuts her off with a glare.
“She insulted my Angel, I don’t want to eat with her!” Andre said.
Mr Knight clears his throat. “Come on, Andre…just ignore her manners”
“No!” Andre replied stubbornly.
I sighed. I held his face in my hands and look him straight in his eyes.
“Andre, don’t be like that… we’re alre-ady here, let’s just eat”
“But she insulted you!”
“Don’t worry, her words didn’t affect me”
“But….”
“Shh… let’s go in”
He stays silent for a moment before he reluctantly agreed. He wra-p his arm around my w@!st and leads me inside.
bit-chy grandma? Let’s see what you got.

Debby’s POV
Silence.
We’re all sitting in silence, staring at our plates…. Well, Andre wasn’t, he’s alre-ady start eating.
I secretly nudge him and he paused, giving me his attention.
“They haven’t started yet!” I whisper yelled at him.
He looks around, everyone is staring at him…. Mr and Mrs Knight smiling, while his grandma…. Ugh! she’s glaring at him.
Andre turns back to me and put some rice on my plate.
“We c@m£ here for lunch, if they don’t wanna eat it’s none of our problem….” He locked gaze with his grandma. “Ignore them and eat!”
Mrs Knight sniffles a laughter and clink her fork on her plate.
“Yes, Andre is right…. let’s eat”
Andre and his Mom turn to their food, but his grandma huffed angrily.
“No manners!” She said.
I know she’s complaining about Andre. Well, since everyone is eating why not join.
Just as I was set to eat, the doorbell rang. Andre’s grandmother quic-kly sprint up and rushed to the door…. like she’s expecting someone.
“Did Mom invite someone else?” I heard Mrs Knight asking her husband.
“I… don’t know” he replied.
We suddenly hear grandma’s laughter from the door… then she mentioned a name that made Andre goes stiff.
“Oh, my sweet Olivia!”
Andre clenched his jaw and gr!pp£dhis spoon very ti-ght.
Ok, I don’t think this is gonna end well.
“Why did she invite her?” Mrs Knight snaps at her husband.
Mr Knight shrug and muttered something un-der his breath.
Andre made to get up but I pu-ll-ed him down and take his hand in mine, c@r£ss!ngit softly.
“Don’t worry, I’m here!” I told him.
“Let’s leave, I hate her!” He said… He sound very angry, his tone filled with so much hate.
Now, I really wanna see who this Olivia is…. She couldn’t be worse than Olivia Thompson.
“Let’s go, I might do something you wouldn’t like” he said.
“Don’t worry, just be a good boy and sit down… I’ll do the talking” I whisper in his ear.
He didn’t reply, but I can feel his anger….his whole b©dy is tensed and shaking.
“Come on in, dear” grandma ushered her guest in.
Their footsteps approach the dinning room. I sighed de-eply and gather all my strength getting re-ady to face whatever might come later.
“Hello, aunty and uncle!”
Oh no! It can’t be….this voice.
Looking up, my blood ran cold. So, the Olivia they’re all talking about is actually…… Olivia Thompson?!
Now I see why Andre is in this state, it’s because of her…..you see, Olivia is very good at manipulating others with her words.
She’s my worse nightmare…..now she’s my b©yfri£nd’s nightmare too.
Wait…..what did I say? b©yfri£nd?! Fake b©yfri£nd!
She bullied me then and I let her but not anymore….. now that she’s destroyed Andre, I’m not gonna let her off the hook!
“Oh? Is this Debby fv¢king Ryan?!” This pu-ll-ed me out of my thoughts.
I smiled slyly at her…. she’s good at giving nicknames, let’s see if she deserves a nickname too.
“Wow! Long time, no see…. Olivia slutty Thompson!” I fired back.
Olivia slutty Thompson….it might not make any s-en-se but at least I tried.
She looked around and saw an empty chair on the other side of Andre, she pu-ll-ed it out and sat down.
“Long time? We saw each other four days ago” she said.
Mrs Knight look between us with narrowed eyes….I know she’s trying to figure something out.
“You two know each other, Debby?” She asked me.
I wanted to say no, but Olivia spoke before me.
“Yes, Aunt…we are very good friends, we go way back…right Debby?” Olivia looked at me knowingly…a sm-irk on her pancaked face.
We are very good friends?! I smiled sweetly….and look around, everyone is staring at us.
“Yes…friends!”
Grandma scoffs unbelievably but I ignore her.
Olivia turns to Andre and smiled.
“Andre, I heard you’ve got yourself a girlfriend”
“That’s none of your business!” Andre snaps at her harshly but she laughs it off.
“Where’s her?” She looks around as if she’s looking for something. “Why don’t I see her?”
I tap the table….she turns to me and I smiled ti-ghtly.
“That’s because you are too blind to actually see her!”
She re-leased a loud sarcastic laugh.
“Who? You?”
“Yes!”
She turns to Andre and throws her arm around his shoulders….she puts her f!nger un-der Andre’s chin.
“Andre, I didn’t know you’ll become worse after I left…..” Andre’s breathing heavily, I can tell he’s trying to refrain himself. “Tell me, how did you manage to end up with this nerdy p@n-ts!”
I g@sped…did she just called me a nerdy p@n-ts?!
Just then I heard Olivia wince….. her arm around Andre’s shoulders is gone as Andre hold it in a ti-ght grip…. bending her arm with no care.
I tried so ha-rd to hold my laughter but couldn’t, I begin to laugh uncontrollably.
…. Mrs Knight join me.
“Let go of my hand!” She cries.
But Andre simply bends it more…. His grandma ban-gs on the table.
“What are you doing, Andre?”
Andre ignored her. “How dare you insult my Angel?!” He roared in her face.
She looked at Mr and Mrs Knight for help but they both looked away as if they aren’t aware of her situation.
“You can insult me but don’t you ever…. Ever insult my Angel!!”
Wow! Andre look so damn hurt right now.
“She’s a nerd…a dumb nerd!” Olivia growled.
He slammed her hand on the table very ha-rd and she howled painfully.
bit-ch! I think I should reward Andre for teaching her a lesson.
I pu-ll-ed Andre’s chair closer to mine and crashed myl-ips on his…. giving him a sweet short k!ss.
Olivia’s glare at me intensified….and I wi-nk at her.
“I’m a nerd and Andre loves me that way….” I k!$$£d Andre again. “At least I wasn’t the school’s popular slut!”
It’s surprising how I can actually stand up to Olivia now.
She ru-bs her hand slowly.
“Andre loves you?!” She scoffs. “He don’t! Andre doesn’t do love….he don’t have a heart!”
Andre wanted to react but I held him down and shake my head… telling him to let me handle her.
But I guess her statement also provoked Mrs Knight…..she ban-gs the table lightly.
“You don’t know Andre! And besides you’re apparently an unwanted guest here….leave!”
Olivia faces Andre’s grandmother….. hmph! I didn’t know she’s such a crybaby.
“Grandma, she’s asking me to leave!”
“Don’t mind them, sweetie… You aren’t going nowhere, I invited you!”
Olivia wore a smug expression… Andre’s grandmother faces Andre.
“Andre…look at Olivia, she’s such a good girl with proper upbringing” her gaze fell on me. “Unlike some worthless beggar!”
Andre got up abruptly, knocking off his chair….he gr-abs my hand and pu-ll-ed me up.
“Angel, I’m sorry I can’t hold it anymore” he turned to his grandma. “If you think she is a goddess then marry her!!” He turned to Olivia. “And you! Don’t ever show your face in front of me again!”
Without another word, he head for the door pu-lling me along. I smiled at Mrs Knight apologetically….she shakes her head and smile wi-dely.
“I like you, Debby…take care of Andre for me!” She call after me.
We stepped out and arrived at the garage where Andre parked his car. He opens the door, just when I was about to step in…I heard Olivia called me.
“Ignore her!” Andre tells me.
I shake my head.
“No, I want to hear what she have to say”
“No!”
“Andre, be a good boy and wait here for me, ok?”
He glared towards Olivia….I pout myl-ips and showed him my cutest puppy eyes.
He sighed and reluctantly agreed.
“Thank you!” I k!$$£d his cheek and rushed towards Olivia.
We’re like seven feet away from Andre….she pu-ll-ed me in for a hvg and whispered in my ear.
“I have always have all the good things in life…. Andre won’t be an exemption, you might have him now but I promise I’ll take him back from you!”
I smiled.
“Don’t worry, I won’t give you the chance to…. he’s Mine now!”
Woah! I sound kinda possessive.
“Really?” She huffed. “I had him once and I’ll have him again!”
“Well, let’s watch and see…..may the best lady win!” I pu-ll-ed away and wi-nk at her.
I turn away from her and head back to Andre…I enter the car and he jogged to the driver’s side.
He starts the engine and drives out of the compound.
“What did you two discuss?”
“Nothing of your interest….just girls talk”
He eyes me suspiciously but didn’t push it further.
I can’t believe Olivia Thompson is Andre’s ex….well, I have made up my mind not to let her bully me again…I won’t let him win this time.
I should tell Anna about this, she’ll help me come up with ideas on how to beat Olivia.
“Andre?”
“Yes, Angel?”
“plea-se drop me off at Anna’s….I have something to discuss with her!”
He snaps his head towards me and my eyes grew wi-de as I point at the road.
“plea-se, watch the road, I don’t wanna die yet!”
He faces the road.
“Anna? Is Lucas gonna be there?”
“No”
“I swear if Lucas is there I’m gonna kill him and you can’t st©p me!”
I rolled my eyes.
“He’s not there….and let me make something clear to you”
He kept quiet but I know he’s listening.
“You don’t have to get angry or possessive everytime I mention a guy’s name or everytime I smile at them”
“Why shouldn’t I?”
“Because they won’t take me away simply because I smile at them…. I’ll still be yours”
He glanced at me briefly.
“No! Not true!”
“Huh?”
“If you smile at them and always call their name, it means you like them and wanna be with them”
I frown.
“Where did you get that from?”
He kept quiet and set hisl-ips on thin lines.
“Olivia….she…..” He cuts himself off.
Olivia….what the hell did you do to this guy?!
“Andre, don’t listen to her. I can smile at hundred boys and call their names… discuss with them but I won’t love anyone! It’s not necessary to fall in love with our friends”
“Really?”
I smile and nod.
“Really….” I reach for his shoulder and give him a little squee-ze. “Not every girl is like Olivia….I love you and you alone, it doesn’t how many boys smile at me or speak with me… I’ll only love you”
I see the corner of hisl-ips quirk in a small smile.
“You promise?”
“I promise! There’ll be only you!”
He smiles brightly now. “Thank you, Angel”
He takes my hand and k!$$£d my knuckles.
Then I recalled my promise….. there’ll be only you!
Why did I say that…. hmph! Whatever helps him recover!
“So….are you gonna drop me off at Anna’s?”
“Yes!”
“Well, I have promised to be with only you…now it’s your turn to promise me”
“What?”
“Promise you won’t get angry…jealous… overly possessive whenever a guy smile at me or greets me….or hvg me?”
He grits his teeth and sigh.
“I promise you but no hvgging!” He said firmly giving no room for my unnecessary arguments.
I sighed and nod….at least we are going somewhere. We continue the rest of the ride in silence.
To be continued…
