chapter 1

Lyrice's pov:

I am Lyrice Y. Deluxe, 28 years old and I am already married for 3 years, oops, my mistake I should say 4 years. I married my husband when I was 25 years old, if you're wondering why I'm still 28 when it's supposed to be 29 since we're married for 4 years, the truth is our anniversary comes first than my birthday. May 6, 2018 was the day I married him, while my birthday was on October 12, 1994. My husband was a CEO in a company called Deluxe's company, he's always busy while I'm just staying in the house doing nothing.

"What a wonderful morning, look at the sun's light, it always gives me a hope to survive, and look at the blue skies it always gives me a courage to face my day without worries and discouragement", I smile while shouting thinking it would be a different morning. But as soon as I walked out of the room, I feel lonely, sad and I just keep on sighing.

Waking up early in the morning, taking a bath, eating alone in a large table, cleaning the house with my only nanny zhong, preparing a lunch box for my husband then deliver it to his company, they won't let me in to my husband's company that's why I have to find my husband's assistant named Lim Yung and asked him to deliver my homemade lunch box for Blake-my husband's name, I always wait outside of the company at 12:00 pm because I know that's when Blake's assistant go outside everyday just to buy a lunch for himself, after that I go home and stay in the house, eat alone, sketch some design for a dress (I do this sometimes when I get bored), clean the house again. In the evening, I prepare some dinner for the both of us, wait for him in the house for an hour, after that I'll receive a call from assistant Yung that Blake can't go home tonight because he's busy with the company's problem, then I'll ask my nanny to eat with me instead since I hate eating alone again, after that my nanny will take care of the dishes while I go to my room to sleep alone. That's how I spend my time/day everyday.

Sometimes I feel like my husband is cheating on me but I just think that it's impossible since he's always so cold to everyone. Maybe he just doesn't know how to express his feelings or maybe he's just shy when he's with me that's why he never go home. Or maybe he hates me because I'm not the person he likes to be with for the rest of his life?, just by thinking of it hurts me.

I like Blake since when we were highschool, he was pretty popular back then, he's good both academics and sports, he's handsome and most importantly he's rich even though he has this cold personality I still like him.

The first time I saw Blake I really am not interested about him, I'm always thinking what's so good being popular anyway? It's not like he's a god or something, he's just a person just like us. Seeing girls always fainted when they see him at school or anywhere, I get irritated, like they're so annoying. But even though I think or acted as if I don't care like that, I know deep inside of me that I was jealous of him.

What if I was like him, will people around me keep praising me? What if I was good at academics and sports, will I get famous??, I always pity myself because I'm not beautiful, not good at academics and sports, the only thing that I know is fashion design.

Blake and I met at the back of our school, I was being bullied back then because I'm not pretty, I always wear eyeglasses and my hair was always in a ponytail. I prefer this style since it looked like I'm just an ordinary person, I even hide the fact that my family was rich.

Blake saved me from those bullies, even though he didn't literally saved me but thanks to his presence the bullies run away. That's the day I fall in love with him, he's cool, elegant and awesome.

I could feel my heart was beating fast, "thump,thump", it was so loud, I wish he didn't hear it, it will be very embarrassing. I close my eyes because I was scared not because of those bullies but because of him. I'm so ashamed I always despised him because he's popular but right now he saved me, what should I do?

"Are you okay?", Blake ask me with a cold tone.

"Huh?, Oh, Ah, yes, I'm okay thanks to you," I was too stunned for a moment when he ask me if I was okay that's why I didn't answer right away.

"I'm just asking you if you're okay, so why are you so scared?", Blake ask me with a cold tone again but with an indifferent look.

"umm.. are you worried about me or not?, I asked him with an innocent look

"Nope, I'm not, I'm just asking you if you're okay", he just replied to my question bluntly.

This guy.......seriously...........does it make sense that there are people like that??, I was talking to my head while crumbling a paper and holding a book. I want to throw this bunch of books to his face and shouted to him. But I can't afford to do that to him, cause one mistake can lead my family to downfall.

While I was talking to my head he just walked away like he doesn't care if I was in the ground full of dust, he doesn't even bothered to give me a shirt even though he saw my uniform all crumpled and most of all he doesn't even give me a band-aid, or bring me to a clinic even though I have so many wound.

For a second thought, I take back what I said about him being cool, elegant and awesome. But I can't deny the fact that I still like him even though he's cold like that. From then on I keep on blushing like a pervert. It just feel like romantic to me.

Just thinking about the past really embarrass me, I didn't even think that I was like a pervert because I always blush.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha", I laugh so loudly that I almost can't breath.

Suddenly, I remember that my birthday is coming in next Monday. I am so excited. I always wish that Blake will go home to surprise me and celebrate my birthday with him. But I know that I shouldn't keep my hopes up or I will end up being disappointed.
