Deal

Chapter 2

•Deal•

Astrea’s POV

Well, it wasn't that long before they found me, I knew it...

And therefore I am back home...

I believe I'm gonna get an earful scolding from my grandfather... and speaking of my grandfather there he is going down the stairs.

Then he sat down, looking at me seriously.

"The wedding is canceled." He simply said.

Well, I couldn't be happier to hear that news, it seems like that I'm too happy that I couldn't hide my smile...

"But...."

No, don't tell me there's a catch?! Damn...

"You have  Two Months to find someone that is your so-called 'true love' or whatever cheesy thing you call that." He said with a straight face.

I was amazed about this deal, but I think there's more to it...

"And you have to live like the commoners, I already got you a condominium and fixed your documents."

Wait, live like the commoners? Does that mean I won't be trailed by my bodyguards anymore?! I'm so happy!

"Anyways, since you'll be living like a commoner I already entered you to a company so you'd better work hard" He ended.

That's it? It doesn't seem too bad.

It's a fair deal, I mean I can work and live normally without my bodyguards who is always surrounding me, and I'll live alone! Wait—- live alone? Uhh.... okay.

"You'll tomorrow so you better pack your stuff that you'll be needing for two months." He added.

I quickly went upstairs to pack my stuff, I think I'm too excited to sleep after knowing I can live independently tomorrow.

But before I went upstairs, I saw a glimpse of my grandfather's smirk... how weird.

Percy’s POV

I wonder what's gonna happen to me this time for escaping that marriage on the spot.

Not too soon my father went down while fixing his sleeves...

He sat down while drinking a cup of tea when he placed the cup back to the table I can feel his intense gaze...

"You ran away..." he said.

I just kept my head down.

"You know there's a consequence since it canceled the wedding..."

I think I'm gonna be in trouble?

Or am i?

"But to make it up, you'll work at the company, you'll take my position temporarily within two months, is that a deal?"

"Deal," I said.

But that's too simple, just taking over his position temporarily, but what's the big catch?

"However, I want you to find a suitable woman for yourself..." I knew it there's a catch...

I doubt that within two months I could fall in love with someone, right? I'm pretty sure that I met and attracted every woman out there and sill I don't feel my heart skipping a beat for them.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not attracted to males either, I think that the person I'm looking for is still out there taking her time for the past 24 years which is my whole existence...

Suddenly I remember Kyle...

"You haven't experienced love, even tho a lot of girls is chasing you... and you're not attracted to them even if some of them are pretty..." he said and paused.

....Percy are you..." I cut him off before he could finish whatever he was about to say.

Damn... maybe my father also thinks of me like that? Oh hell no...

"Oh You're about to move out here tomorrow, and stay onto a condominium for two months..."

I guess that's fine, and this deal is fine.

But why do I feel like there's more to it like I feel like something bad will happen to me, I don't know I'm just getting that feeling...

Whatever since that's the end of the discussion, I went to my room and lay down onto my bed... I was overthinking that I have fallen asleep...

.

Why do I feel so cold?

And it feels like I can't move my hands or feet. I also feel like I'm—- gagged up?! What the—

And do I hear footsteps? And where am I? Am I kidnapped?

Astrea’s POV

"So you'll live here for two months, and you'll start working at the company I told you about.."

"Oh, My dear Astrea there's a hidden treasure in this apartment." My grandfather said with a laugh... and left.

What? What's with his laugh? I feel like my grandfather is planning something... or did he?

Whatever, anyways this condominium is good it's good for two people eh?

There's already pieces of furniture here, and there are 3 doors a bathroom and two bedrooms I guess... I went into the first door and it is a bathroom. I went to the next door and opened it, its a bedroom anyways what about the other room?

I was about to grab the doorknob and open it, but suddenly my heart started to beat fast, I feel like something is in there and it's making me anxious...

I hope my grandfather didn't do anything...

I slowly opened the door...

I can see the bed and there's a man?! What!

Did I saw that correctly a man?

Suddenly he moved and his eyes were on the door, those eyes are so familiar...

He's shirtless.... and you can see his body that is built...

But don't get some dirty thoughts, he's wearing black pants... and his feet are tied up, and his hands are handcuffed... damn. And his mouth is also covered...

Is this what my grandfather was saying?

I think I better call him...

*Ringing*

*Ringing*

While I tried to call my grandfather this man that is familiar to me is giving me glares to set him free as if I would help him out... I mean he could be a pervert right? Anyways WHY IS MY GRANDFATHER NOT PICKING UP?

I called my grandfather like ten times! And he didn't pick up, and I think this is what he was really saying... Uhm what do I do?
