Chapter 3

Ivan glanced back and his eyes quickly scurried off to a lady in a wedding dress. The dress looked simple and lovely…But in contrast to her pretty dress, her face was unbearable to look at. She looked as horrible as a female ghost. Her eyes were red and swollen, her hair scattered, and her mascara had been ruined by her tears which shed her eyes, leaving a large black patch underneath her eyes, just like she had been punched in the face. And her face was smeared with lipstick. The lady was drinking to stupor and because of her choice of outfit…almost everyone at the bar was staring at her… “Do you see? The lady in the wedding dress, isn't that God's way of making it clear to you?" Xavier took a sip of his wine and laughed. "Most of the women who come to the bar are here to have fun like the rest of us, and she'll be wearing a revealing bikini, but not a wedding dress." “Ivan, maybe this is your Mrs. Right.” Xavier continued to scoff. Hell! Mrs. Right? This ugly woman in front of him? Fate was in his own hands, and not even God could change his taste in women. The thought of spending his life with this ugly woman made Ivan cranky and want to get the hell out of here. "I'm going to the bathroom." Ivan tugged his tie away in annoyance and, without waiting for Xavier's answer, left the seat with his long legs. "Li...Liam, why! Why did you betray me?!" Ivan came back from the bathroom, just to see the ugly woman who had just worn a wedding dress crouching in the corridor and crying out. He couldn't help but frown. Why is this woman always around him like a ghost? He didn't want his eyes to be tainted. He wanted to get out of here, but this woman was blocking the only exit. Shit! Maybe it was time to get his bodyguards to throw this woman out. "Liam...you said you loved me...we were together for four years and you said you wanted to spend more years with me...you said you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me...what went wrong?”The woman continued and her face got even worse. Ivan pulled out his phone. He didn't have time to listen to stories here, and he just knew that committing to a woman was a pain in the ass and this ugly woman was the perfect example. “I wore this dress today so you would see how serious I am about marrying you…do you know how many times I practiced how to propose to you…why did you turn me down?What about the promises you made to me? Why did you hurt me just as my father had broken my mother?” The woman's voice got louder, and she cried hysterically. A proposal of marriage? She planned to propose to a man? Ivan hated women who took the initiative. No wonder she had been dumped, he was even more certain that even if she was the only woman left in the world he would have killed her rather than choose to marry her. The phone rang three times but none answered the call. Damn it, Ivan kicked at the wall in annoyance. Was this his bad luck day? How dare his personal bodyguard not answer his phone the first moment it rang. Maybe his bodyguard just wants to be fired. Ivan hung up the phone irritably and pulled the woman up. "Get...." OFF Before “off” was even uttered, a bad taste of alcohol took over his mouth. What the fuck! What happened? Damn, this woman forcefully kissed him? She must have gone completely mad, and he was certain that she was unable to see the sun of tomorrow. He had thought of a hundred ways to make this woman die. Just as he tried to push her away, the soft touch of her lips instantly acted like the great aphrodisiac, bringing all the senses together to his dick. The bad smell of alcohol completely disappeared, and all he could feel now was his dick twitching inside his trousers. He wanted to penetrate her! This woman tasted damn sweet! Without much thought, he pulled the woman closer, his large hands tightening to imprison her in his arms as he moved the kiss deeper into her. "Let ...go of me." The woman struggled in his arms, because the smell of this man was unfamiliar. He’s not Liam, and she assumed that Liam had followed her to the bar out of caring. But how could that be? How could he still care about her after he had gotten her best friend pregnant? No, she shouldn't be thinking about such scum! Cheating will never ends, and her dad was the best proof of that. She shouldn't forgive such asshole. "Ah, that hurts!" As if to punish her for not paying attention, the man bit her lip. The pain woke her up and she opened her eyes before she realized what a ridiculous thing she had done! She had actually forcefully kissed a strange man in a bar! There was no denying that the man was damn good looking! Liam, who was known as the school hunk, was not even a match for him at all. But obviously, this extremely handsome man is an indecent hooligan! Look what he's doing! He's lifting her skirt?! "Let go of me! You rascal!" She whimpered, trying to pull her head back, her little hands kept slapping the man's chest, but the man's chest seemed as hard as a boulder. A rascal? This woman had the nerve to call him a rascal when she had taken the initiative to provoke him. He would punish her and let her know that he was not her puppy who can be randomly treated. He is her master, and he is the only one who can decide the whole thing. "Let go? Too late!" Ivan said coldly, his large hand caressing up her ass. The smoothness gave him a pleasure he had never felt before, and he wanted more ... However, the phone in his trousers sounded untimely. He tried to ignore it but the caller seemed to be up against him and kept on calling. Damn, if there wasn't a good reason for this call, he would have chopped the caller up and fed him to the dogs! The caller ID was Xavier. Fuck, he had forgotten that Xavier was still waiting for him. He pressed the button, and the woman took advantage of this moment and bent her knee to kick hard at his manhood. Before Ivan reacted, the woman hurriedly put her skirt down and quickly ran away. "Ah!" "HEY, Man, what's going on? Do you have hemorrhoids? What took you so long to go to the bathroom! Your bodyguard is already crying like a six year old little girl because he can't find you!" Xavier joked on the phone daringly. "Can you imagine that? A two hundred pound man was crying like a little girl." Xavier continued to mock. "Bathroom!" Ivan popped one word out coldly through his teeth. *************** "That’s hilarious!!!" After Xavier figured out the whole story, he was in hysterical laughter. Ivan's bodyguard, however, was not that lucky. He awaited the emperor's punishment with fear; he dreaded to think how disastrous his consequences would be; the last bodyguard who had failed to answer his boss's call in time had gone to feed the mosquitoes in the rainforest. "Ivan, but, this woman is different right? How dare she attack the emperor who dominates the economy of this country? She must be special." "Only a woman like her would be worthy of you. Ivan Grayson, don't struggle anymore. Marry her!" Ivan stared at Xavier, and if eyes could kill, Xavier have already been dead and his gravestones might have been worn away... "Get lost!" Ivan spat out coldly. His words sent a chill up Xavier's spine. He couldn't mess with Ivan anymore. Thinking of the sexy woman who was still waiting for him on his bed, he quickly left the bar. "I want all the information about that woman at 8.30 a.m. tomorrow," Ivan stared at the bodyguard who was still shivering, "otherwise you can prepare your last words."
