Chapter 12
Even once in my life, I have never thought about killing a person out of my anger. Never did I expect myself to imagine a brutal image of me being a killer, but this time, I think that's what I would love to do.
I am staring at the man who made me feel worse. Seriously, what exactly is wrong with him? His mouth does not even rest for a bit and kept talking bad things that made me feel more angry and devastated. He's still in the mood of rubbing all my mistakes in my face instead of comforting me. Does it make him less of a person if he tries to be a little kinder to me? Or, does he loathe me so much that he acts this way?
I fisted my hand. He glanced my way as he drove his car and then he flashed a smirk at me.
"Would you please stop annoying me?" I asked him, irritated that I can't even do anything other than to throw dagger looks on him.
My ragged breathing became more evident as the annoyance I am feeling deep within is just eating me up. I am still controlling my emotion as I do not want to create a scene here given that he just saved my ass a while ago. I am still owed him and that is a sad truth. I badly want to strangle him but I just don't have the courage to do so.
"Hmmmn, Risha Nathalie Saavedra, a reckless driver... That sounds wrong," he grinned devilishly and then glanced at me for a bit before he turned his eyes on the road. "Will you still be a Saavedra if you are put into jail? Since it is going to be
a minimum of one year imprisonment, I will probably marry you even when you are in prison. That will make you a Zendejas within a year or so..."
"I said shut the hell up!"
"Risha Nathalie Saavedra- Zendejas..." he whispered that made my heart jump, literally!
I pressed my lips together and clenched my jaw, and then I groaned out of my frustration. Does he really have to this mean to me? I put my palms on my face, wishing that I could just teleport and get home instead of hearing all the nonsense he's saying!
I can't believe that I am dealing with his ruthlessness right now, and I just hate the fact that I can't even punch him on his face because he saved me earlier!
I owe him something. That's how bad it is!
And what did he say? Risha Nathalie Saavedra- Zendejas?
Did he really think about marrying me even if I will be put in jail? That is bullshit! He is really out of his mind!
"So, are you proud that you became a hero just by saving me from all the mess I've done?"
He smirked once again.
Damn that wicked smirk!
Why does it suit his face even more, huh? How could he be so damn attractive? He should be ugly when he is trying to be a devil and not like this... sinfully handsome!
"No, I am just telling my own version of what if. Nevertheless, even when you're in jail or not, you will still be a Zendejas no matter what," he said coolly.
"What if I do not want to be a Zendejas? What if I refuse to marry you? What if I do not like you?" I asked him all the 'what ifs' I have in mind.
What would you do, Evan Zendejas? What if I do not want to be your helpless wife?
"Hmmmn..." the side of his lips curled up for a smile. He glared back at me, and then turned his eyes on the road again.
"What?" I asked.
"It is as if you have a choice, Rish."
His answer has triggered me. I screamed out of my anger while we are inside his car. I am truly mad at him!
He is definitely not a suited man for me! He is doing his best to annoy the shit out of me and for heaven's sake, it is really working! I have lost all my patience! The only thing I can do is to look at him angrily and kill him multiple times at the back of my head!
I hate it! The fact that I have no choice but to marry him! And I hate myself even more as I do not know how to feel about it! I am not even sure why I am interested in him but also angry at him at the same time! I mean, is that even possible?

I shook my head after so many screams I did just to make him shut his mouth. I breathed deeply and gasped.
What is more frustrating? That is the truth that I am still a loser in front of him. That's the biggest truth I want to just fade in the air. He has the power he needs to make me obey him. He has that kind of authority to me. Meanwhile, I am just Risha Nathalie, a powerless woman who he will own very soon.
"I swear you are going to chase me first! I promise that I won't marry you easily! I will definitely give you a hard time until you give up on me," I said to him, with a firm tone as I speak those words. "Sure, try me, Risha..."

"This is such a disgrace to our family, Nathalie! How did you become so reckless? You were lucky that Evan had come to save and help you! What do you think his family would say about this incident? I can't believe you just caused another trouble!" father scolded me with his voice raising because of the madness he feels.
I lowered my head as I bit my lower lip. I felt so nervous while in front of my father. I am in his office here at home and my parents have learned what happened earlier this afternoon.
Basically, Evan is just simple an asshole. He can't shut his mouth at all. He was the one who informed my parents about the accident that had happened earlier. I understand that he wanted to be honest with my parents but at least, he should have let me handled them instead.
"I am really sorry for this trouble, Dad..." was the only thing I managed to say to my father.
I don't have the right to defend myself because I admit that it was clearly my fault. I have never been into such a big mess like this and I understand how my parents reacted upon learning what really happened. This is the first time and will be the last... I promised myself that it won't happen again.
I pouted my lips as my parents continued to scold me. Why did I end up having that car accident, anyway? It was all because I let Evan Zendejas consumed my thoughts. I am really certain he has brought a bad luck into my life. "So, what are we going to do, Frank? Evan just paid a million to save our daughter from the possible imprisonment," mommy asked my father with her concerned tone.
"You have nothing to worry about, Mich. I will pay it back," dad answered firmly before looking at me. "And Nathalie, I need you to apologize to him formally for all this mess. This is really a shame on our part and I don't want his family to have a bad impression toward us!"

"W-What?"
"You heard your father clearly, Nathalie!" My mother snorted. "You are going to visit Evan in their house by tomorrow! You will apologize to your fiancé and that is final. Are we clear about this?"
I swallowed hard. I felt my heart trying to break my chest. I imagined Evan's cruel face and devilish smile once I visit and apologize to him. I don't think I could handle that. I don't want him to have a thought that I am chasing him... I can't do that.
"Nathalie!" Daddy called me in a mad tone when he did not hear me answer.
1 got startled. In the end, I just nodded slowly.
My mad parents have enumerated a few reminders to me and then they let me go afterwards. I sighed when I went out of their office.
I ran upstairs and went to my bed. Out of frustration and madness I felt this day, I grabbed the pillow and put it in my face. I let out another scream as I needed to release all this anger, because if not, then I would just feel it forever.
When I felt a little better, I looked at the while ceiling with all the thoughts I have in mind. The scenes that had happened earlier were all still vivid in my memory, starting from how I bumped into that car, how I called Evan, how he came and save me and lastly, how we ended up fighting inside his car.
He's truly a powerful man. In just one finger snap, he could have someone on bended knees and to worship him. However, he is not a kind person. He's still the arrogant guy from the very first time I saw him.
My lips formed a thin line when I remember how he humiliated me earlier. He was so full of himself and he thinks high of him just because he saved me. What an asshole!
I shook my head and shifted my position.
Now, tell me. How could I apologize to someone who is very cruel to me?
