Episode 2

Charlotte's POV:

After my meeting with Calix, I went straight home and relaxed on my bed. Not long after, My Father came with My stepmother. I run down quickly and jumped on her.

“Silly girl, You'll break mo bones” she said while giggling and patting my back.

“Not my fault, I missed you so much” I replied and pretended to pout.

“My bad, hehe. I missed you too” She said and kissed me on mh cheeks.

“Ehem!, I'm still here” Dad said shyly.

Me and Mom just laugh on how Father can be cute sometimes, hehe.

Even though she is my Step-mother, She is kind to me and always treat me right. We get along so much.

Dad went to his study to finish some documents while Me and Mom went to the Kitchen to make some food. When we're done, we ate together and discussed some things.

“Sweetheart, I thought you didn't want to get married yet?” My mom asked.

“Oh come on, Our daughter is already at the age of marrying, her best friend is already married a year ago” My Dad interrupted.

“But she's not our daughter” My mom coldly said to my dad.

“Honey 😢.. " Dad Fakely wipe his tears.

“Mom, It's fine. I already met Calix and he's a real gentleman. To be honest, I already signed a contract with him.”

As i said those words, The room fell into silence. My mom was so shock and My father is just speechless.

“Even though I'm the one who's forcing you to get married, I didn't think you'll agree so fast” “Calix is well-known for his Indifference and Coldness to others. I'm just worried that.. ”

Before dad could finish his words, i interrupted him and said “Dad, you don't have to worry, I know what I'm doing. He can't do anything to me. ”

My father just sighed in defeat, Even though he wants me to get married he also doesn't want me to be married and get maltreated by my partner. Just like those unfavored Concubines of the Ancient times. but it's different because.... I'm the Empress who rules the Emperor.

I'm going to meet Calix again tomorrow for the Pre-Nup. I hope everything will go well.

I woke up much earlier before the clock rang. I prepared my clothes and took a bath. Ana made some breakfast and I ate after i took a bath. When i was ready to go, a dazzling red Mercedes was parked infront of my Door. I wondered who it was, Then a Built Man wearing a white long-sleeves came out from the car. He went up to me and said--

“Change your clothes”

I don't know if I'll be grateful or I'll get mad.

“Why do you care?", I replied.

“It's too revealing”, He said and knocked my forehead.

I was so flustered that my face was so red and my heart was pounding so hard!!!. He smirked and signalled me to go back and change. I just pretended to be mad and turned my back on him.

“Hey”

“What now?!”

“Won't you let me in?”

“There's no need for that”

“Bohoo.. You're poor husband will be out in the cold” He said teasingly.

“N-Nonsense! W-Were not married yet! ”

“Yet” He was looking at me like he won and already heard the things he want.

He's not indifferent and cold at all!! He's a jerk!!

He purposely said those to make me blush!!

But.. He's handsome when He's smiling.. Ugh!!

I just let him in and went to my room and change my clothes. When i went downstairs, I saw him seating on the couch like he's at home. He was browsing through the Albums that he got from the shelf. I sat beside him and joined. We didn't notice it but we slowly got a little closer, we laughed and talked about our childhood. As time pass by, we ended up browsing all the photo albums from the shelf.

He offered to out it back since he's the one that took them out. Looking at his back, It's a beautiful sight. His face being kissed by small ray of sun from the window, It's Aesthetic. I guess he's not really that bad.

We ended up staying home and having the planner go to my house instead.

We talked about the style of the wedding, the gown, the guests, the reception area.

Everything was decided by him, because we have the same taste. All i did was to choose the styles and how will the event go.

We talked quite for quite a long time. Not long after the wedding planner left, Mom and Dad came back from the office and they Talked with Calix. He easily gained my parents trust and they are so fond of him. Maybe he has some powers to get people to like him? just kiddings.

After some bondings with Calix, we all ate dinner and Calix have to go home. I see him off to waved goodbye, But he came to me and hugged me real tight and gave me a peck on my forehead. I stood there dumbfounded and he already left.

He's really different from the time i met him and from the rumors. I wonder what's going on.. But this is unfair.. He's the one who made the Contract, and it clearly states that..

"Do not Fall in love with each other"

This is foul play, Calix. I hope you're not into something. Making this marriage contract but you're the one whose making me fall in love to you.
