BETROTHED TO A MISANDRIST - CHAPTER 40&41
°° THE GAME °°
She slapped him hard across his face and he held his stinging cheek, not surprised at all.
Another back hand slap landed on his other cheek and he held it as well.
“How dare you??” She grabbed his collar with her two hands, raising him up as she stood up as well.
Her eyes had turned red in anger, “you bàstard! Despicable fool! How dare you??” She slapped him again and he staggered back before smiling, looking unaffected by the slaps.
It made Yolanda’s blood boiled more. She wanted slap that dirty smile off his face…
“Slapping me won’t stop me from coming close to you, it won’t stop me from kissing you again either… Can’t you see… It will only make me come closer.” He began walking closer to her.
“We’re meant to be, forget that I came late, that motherf-__-ker doesn’t deserve you Landa… It should be you and I, Landa… Fernando and Yolanda, Fernanda… Even our name sounds perfect, don’t you think?” He asked with a smile. He was standing just two steps away from Yolanda who was staring at him disgustingly as he spoke gibberish.
“Say something Landa, I know you’re heartbroken right now but not to worry, I’m here for you, I’ll mend your broken heart… Just give me a chance in your life.” He spouted and Yolanda face only scowled up even more.
“You disgust me.” She managed to say, staring at him like he was a psycho… A maniac, coz she couldn’t just understand how someone will just wake up one morning and start professing love… Who does that??
She turned back and started walking away but Fernando held her wrist, pulling her to himself.
She collided with his chest , and he smiled. “I won’t let you go, not yet.” He said.
“WTH!! Let go off me you maniac!” She yelled and tried to free herself from his grip but he was d@mn too strong.
“Let go of me!!” She yelled and kicked his groin with her knee.
He yelped in pain, his grip on her loosen up and he finally let her go, falling to the ground, groaning in pains.
She was breathing heavily as got away from his hold, hastily wiping the tears on her face, she glared at him one last time before running away.
“Lan…” He stuttered, groaning in pains.
°°°°°
Miguel was still looking for Yolanda, he has gone to the restroom, she wasn’t there… He had checked all the places around that vicinity but no trace of her could be found.
“Where could she be?? Or have she gone back to the hotel?? No she can’t leave without me.” He shook the thought and resumed to continue searching for her when his phone beeped.
He hurriedly brought it out, thinking it was a message from her but his eyes dilated at what he saw.
It was a photo, sent from an anonymous… He zoomed the pic and gasped.
The girl’s face was clear but not the guy’s.
“That rascal!!” He gnashed his teeth in anger, having a clue of who it could be.
He quickly pocketed his phone and began running outside, he already knew they’ll be outside after seeing the picture.
He stopped running when he got outside, he looked around, eye searching Fernando.
He frowned when he saw. “Scoundrel!!” He yelled and Fernando who was backing him, turned… A wry smile on his face.
He was back on his feet again, with the smile on his face, it could easily be guessed right that he was waiting for Miguel.
Miguel began walking to him in a slow mo, like he was about going on a deadly war, his face as cold as ice… His intense anger could be felt.
“The look on your face shows you’ve seen…” Before he could complete his sentence, Miguel grabbed him by his collar, roughly.
Fernando chuckled.
“My suspicion was right after all! You rascal! How dare you?!” He hit his groin with his knee. Fernando yelped in the same pain for the second time as he fell to the ground.
Were they tryna kîll him??
“Animal!! You should be ready to go meet your ancestors today coz I’m sending you to them right now!” Miguel said in a husky voice and grabbed his collars again, making him stand on his feet with his legs wobbling.
“How dare you??” He punched him on the face and Fernando staggered.
He touched his lips, it already got a cut as a result of the punch, his eyes darken.
“Bastard!” Miguel punched him again and he fell on the floor, he didn’t waste time before pouncing on him, beating him black, blue, purple and green until Romina came.
She couldn’t find a trace of them in the party so she had to rush out and her eyes dilated at the sight before her.
“Miguel stop this!! Stop this madness right away!!!” She yelled at him, but he didn’t listen… He kept on beating Fernando who was at the edge of passing out, his groan was becoming low.
“Stop!!!” She yelled and held his hand, trying to stop him but he fling the hand, throwing her away and she landed on her butt.
“I’ll kîll you today bàstard!!” He screamed.
“Help… Me… He’ll kîll…” Fernando stuttered but was cut off with a punch.
“No… He’ll kîll him for sure.” Romina said and quickly stood on her feet, she started screaming for help.
She edited the pic very well, she made sure Fernando’s face was blur in the pic so how did he find out??
In no time, people had already gather in the scene and they were able to separate Miguel from Fernando.
“Let me kíll this animal… He dare to kiss my wife??” He struggled in their grip.
“Thank your stars this people came to save you, otherwise I’d have kîlled you and happily surrender myself to the cops! Rascal, stay away from me and my affairs!! Away!!” He yelled, before walking away.
“SpongeBob!” Bella who was amongst the crowd called, running after him.
The crowd began dispersing, murmuring amongst them. Romina crouched before him.
“You fool! Didn’t you know better than to stand and let him beat you up!! Are you that daft?!!” She scolded.
“Do… don’t you… dare… Sco… old me” He warned in a stuttered and Romina laughed at him.
“You still got mouth to talk! Silly fool! You better look for a way to get to your room, idiot!” She scoffed and walked away, leaving him in pains.
°°°°°
< ROOM 303 >
She was still crying in the balcony were she sat on the floor when the room door opened, she turned swiftly to see who it was.
The way the room was from the balcony side, one could see what was going on in the room through the window by mere looking back.
Immediately she saw it was Miguel, she rushed to him.
“Lan…” A dumbfounding slap cut him off.
He held his cheek in shock, raising his head which fell as a result of the slap, he stared at her in bewilderment.
Why did she slap him??
“What did you say?? That you were gonna me the love and attention… I promise to be there for you, to give you that love and attention??” She mimicked in his voice.
“But what were you doing there?? You… What was I expecting??” She sobbed, obviously heartbroken.
“Landa, you’re getting the whole thing wrong… I…”
“Getting what wrong exactly?? The fact that I saw you kissing someone else?? Or the fact that you broke a promise?? Is that what I’m getting wrong?? You betrayed me as well…”
“Landa no…”
“I thought you were different, why do you all give hopes and shattered it into piece??” She questioned rhetorically.
“Landa, this is all their plan to set me up!” He yelled but she wasn’t ready to listen.
“I thought it was time to let go of the uncalled h@??, to let go of the past… I wanted to start a new beginning with you,,, but again, I’m being betrayed… Let go of me!” She yelled as he grabbed her arms, holding her tightly to himself.
“You’ve been talking since, now it’s my turn to talk while you listen!” He said, authoritatively.
“Let… go of me… Let go of me…” She kept mumbling in his hold.
“I didn’t betray you or anything… It was all a set up… Those rascals planned everything, for reason I don’t know… Romina was supposed to kiss me why Fernando kissed you… Yes!” He answered immediately she gave him a questioning look.
“I understood everything the moment they sent that pic… Knowing the kind of person you are, I was sure it was a plan… They’re daft to think I won’t know.” He said in a rush.
“Pic??” She asked, furrowing her brows.
“Yes… I got a pic sent from an anonymous… Here.” He stretched out his phone, showing her the pic and her eyes widened for the umpteenth time that day.
“I swear he forcefully kissed me, I didn’t…”
“I know.” Miguel cut her off when she tried to explain herself.
“I didn’t give you the name sassy queen for nothing,,, I know what you can do and what you can’t… It’s just pitiable that those people think I don’t know you very well and try to create a misunderstanding, tsk… Their bad.” He smirked and Yolanda’s tears increased.
She didn’t trust him but he trusts her so much!
“Hey, hey hey, why are you cr…” He was taken aback as she hugged him.
It took him some time before he hugged her back.
“I’m sorry… For not trusting you, I’m really sorry.” She pouted and he smiled, patting her head.
“It’s not fine.” She broke the hug.
“You didn’t even wait to hear my own story, you just knew I couldn’t stoop so low but I… I…”
“Shush. C’mon, stop crying now, I said it’s fine.” He wiped her tears with his thumb but she held it, looking him in the eye.
“I’m bad, very bad! So bad!” She cried.
“You’re not bad.” He said.
“Don’t try to pacify me, I know I’m bad.” She cried.
“Say you’re bad again and I’ll smack your face.” He warned and she hiccupped.
“I’m…” She looked at him and they both bursted into an erupt laughter.
“Bad!!” She completed and took to her heels immediately.
“Come here! I’m gonna smack your face!!” He yelled, running after her.

Day runs so fast and so today is the last day of the cooking contest and they were left with three contestants with Yolanda and Miguel being among.
🎙️As we all know, today is the final day of the contest and we are left with just three contestants… Well unlike the other four days, today’s contest is different and special… You all will love it, lots of fun loaded for you all.” He winked.

He asked and the yes reply was enough to bring down the building.
🎙️I asked the couples, not the audience please… Don’t bring down this roof!”
🎙️The title of the game we’ll be playing is, ‘who knows your your spouses more’… What do you think??
🗣️ Yesss!!!
🎙️Can you all stop being the couples’s mouthpiece?” He complained.
The audience laughed.
🎙️Who knows your partner more?? Is it the wife or the husband?? We will know today. Staring from contestant three… Over to the husband… What’s your wife’s favorite show??” He asked and the guy who was asked bit his lower lip.
He looked at his wife, questioningly but the lady giggled, looking away.
🎙️No eye gestures, that’s cheating.” He said and the guy sighed.
“Fashion shows.” He replied, with a shaken hope.
The emcee looked at the wife questioningly.
🎙️You should know that by lying, you’re spoiling the fun, so is he correct??” He asked and the wife shook her head.
“This darn dude knows nothing about me at all! It’s Romance drama dummy! Which fashion shows?!!” She queried, hitting his chest and they laughed.
The emcee asked the next couple before it got to Miguel and Yolanda’s turn.
🎙️ Contestant seven! Who knows your partner more?? Over to the husband… What’s your wife’s greatest fear??” He asked and Miguel’s brow scowled up and he looked at Yolanda who was smirking.
Greatest fear?? She has numerous fear, which is her greatest??
Yes!
Cat!! That’s her greatest fear for sure.
“Cat!” He smirked looking at Yolanda, the emcee looked at her as well.
🎙️Is he correct miss?? No cheating please.”
“Wrong… Very wrong… I’m not even scared of cats and he calls it my greatest fear, really Miguel?” She threw tantrums and Miguel’s eyes widened.
“I thought… No I know you’re scared of cats, what are you saying??” He asked.
“He’s lying sir, he failed us.” She face palmed, acting dramatically.
🎙️So again the husband failed, does this mean that the husbands doesn’t know anything about their wife??”
“We do!! It’s just our wife who wouldn’t be honest!!” They defended, including Miguel.
“Why are you lying sassy queen??” He whispered.
“I can’t let you win me in this game.” She whispered back and he mouthed an ‘O’…
This girl??
She smirked.
The emcee asked the other contestants and it got to their turn again, this time Yolanda was the one being questioned.
🎙️ What does your husband like doing??” He asked and Yolanda cleared her throat, making Miguel wonder what she was about to spout.
“What my husband loves, what my husband loves… Well, this dude here loves stalking me, yes! He loves always being around me, he loves sniffing in my scent like a dog, that’s how much he loves being around me and that’s what he loves the most. Right hubby??” She smirked and Miguel eyes widened…
If someone had ever told him that sassy queen could be this loudmouthed, he wouldn’t have believe but TF was she doing?!!
The audience was laughing out their àss already.
“Sir, she’s lying here!” Miguel immediately countered.
🎙️I didn’t ask you, I strongly believe that she’s telling the truth.” He said.
“What?? This isn’t fair!” Miguel said and Yolanda smirked at him.
“It is Mister.” She whispered.
“I’ll get back at you, for sure.”
The game got to their turn again and Miguel was being questioned.
🎙️How was you guys first kiss?? Mind sharing the experience with us??” The naughty emcee asked and Miguel smirked.
Yolanda looked at him.
“We haven’t had that yet but we don’t mind having it now and telling you the experience.” He smirked and Yolanda’s eyes widened.
He looked at the emcee, waiting for his say on it.
🎙️ Sure then, go ahead.
