BETROTHED TO A MISANDRIST - CHAPTER 44&45
°° 4 YEARS AGO °°
Miguel tighten his eyes before opening them immediately, the pain on his head was excruciating but that wasn’t important right now.
Landa!
“Ahh!” He winced as he sat up, he touched the wound on his head, it hurts…
He looked up and gasped immediately he saw the goon walking away with Yolanda, his eyes widened.
He immediately got on his feet but staggered back. He picked the stick on the floor and began walking to the goon in a quiet but fast pace.
He hit him hard on his head and the man groaned. He grabbed Yolanda from him, pushing him roughly and he fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
Bella eyes dilated, she didn’t even notice when he woke up.
“SpongeBob.” She called, rushing to him.
“What happened??” She asked but Miguel shook his head.
“Call the cops and get me this foøls arrested.” He instructed and began walking away.
He carried her in a bridal style, taking her to their room while Bella did as he instructed.
He got to the room and laid her on the bed.
His head was still hurting alot. He went into the bathroom and came out with a cup of water, which he sprinkled on her face.
She batted her lashes but didn’t wake up. The sedative was really strong.
“Please wake up.” He panicked.
Maybe he should call a doctor, he thought.
He brought out his phone to put a call across but realized he wasn’t in Mexico.
Darn it! He should call Mr Leonard instead.
With that he dialled Mr Leonard’s number but it wasn’t connecting.
Damnit!
He looked at Yolanda who laid lifelessly on the bed.
It was just a sedative, she’ll be alright. He tried to allay his worries with that thought but it wasn’t helping at all.
“Please wake up, please.” He mumbled.
f-__-k!
He groaned touching his back head, he was bleeding seriously. The stick which he was hit with was very strong, he guessed.
She suddenly batted her lashes and his face beamed.
“Landa?” He called, adjusting on the bed.
She fluttered her lashes open and closed it back. She opened it again, looking around as if trying to register what happened earlier ago in her brain.
She gasped when she suddenly remembered and sat up immediately. She was in their room right??
“Landa!” He hugged her, taking her unaware.
She didn’t hug him back. He broke the hug and held her hands.
“Those men… They-”
“I know everything… They tried to abduct you but not to worry, they’re in the police custody right now.” He said and she arched her brows.
“Why will they want to kÃdnap me??” She asked suddenly, from the way they approached her, it looked like they were hired…
“I don’t know, I think we should just wait for the police to interrogate them… I’m happy you’re alright, you don’t know how scared I was.” He said, hugging her again and she chuckled.
“I’m fine now.” She told him.
They broke the hug. “I’m happy about that, you should rest now.” he suggested.
“Rest? But I just said that I’m fine.” She argued.
“Even if, you need to rest.” He said standing up to go return the cup.
She gasped immediately she saw him bleeding.
“Miguel!” She called and he turned back.
“Yes?”
“You’re bleeding.” She said, getting down from the bed.
“Oh… I-”
“How can you be so careless? Where’s the first aid?” She asked no one in particular.
“Seat here, let me get the first aid.” She said and Miguel sat on the bed.
She left the room and came back a while later with a first aid box.
She sat beside him and opened the box. She took out an antiseptic and a cotton wool and went behind him.
She cleaned the blood with the cotton wool.
“Are you always this careless or you are, only when I’m around?” She asked as she was done treating the wound and wrapping a bandage around his head.
Miguel smiled.
“When you’re here, why should I be careful?” he asked, holding her hand and he twirled her, making her sit on his lap.
She blushed.
“Miguel?”
“Yes sassy queen?” He called and she faked a frown.
“You’re still gonna keep calling me sassy queen?” She asked, still with the fake frown.
“Yes, you’re my sassy queen.” He pecked her lips and her eyes widened.
“What?? It was only a peck, what if I had kissed you?” He smirked and she hit him playfully.
“But seriously, I’m wondering when we’re gonna have our wedding kiss? You denied me of it. ” He pouted and Yolanda faked a cough and tried standing up from his lap but he didn’t let her.
“Don’t try to avoid this conversation, you’re still holding my wedding kiss… I’ve been waiting for long, isn’t it too much.” He pouted.
“Ermm… I-”
“Maybe I should have it now.” He grinned and her eyes widened.
“Uhmm…” Her words got stuck in her throat as he leaned closer.
Her heart began racing crà zily in her chest. She gulped down nervously and her eyes slowly closed on it’s own, anticipating the kiss.
She felt his hot breath on her neck making her shudder. His head suddenly fell on her shoulder and she opened her eyes quickly.
She began hearing his low snores, that was when she realized he was sleeping.
She chuckled.
“Crazy fellow.” She mumbled, before making him lie on the bed.
She tucked him well on the bed before leaving the room.
°°°°°
Slap!
Romina eyes widened as her head fell as a result of the slap, her cheek burning up.
She raised her head to look at Fernando who was staring murderously at her.
“How dare you slap me??” She roared.
“I warned you not to try to harm Yolanda, didn’t I?” He barked at her and she swallowed hard.
“You didn’t listen, you went ahead and tried to abduct her!” He yelled.
“How could you think such a thing?! Why would I abduct-”
“Oh quit the pretence liar! I know you too well crafty wÃtch to know that you did it… Well I’ve got no time for long talk, have a good time in jail.” He said and immediately the door of his room opened and the police came in.
“Wh-what’s going on here? Fernando what’s this?” Romina stuttered in fear.
“Miss Romina GarcÃa, you’re under arrest for the attempted kÃdnap on Mrs Yolanda Miguel Gonzà lez. I advice you remain silent as wh@??ver you say or do will be used against you in the law court. You have a right to a lawyer, if you can’t afford one, the state will do that for you, now move!” The inspector instructed and Romina shook her head.
“You can’t arrest me! Fernando!”
“Handcuff her!” The inspector said to a sergeant and he quickly did as he was told.
“No, no please!” She cried as she was dragged away.
Fernando sighed.

< CINEMA >
They bought their popcorn and walked into the hall, they were dressed in a matching couples outfit.
The movie had not started when they got there, so they simply took their seat.
“I can’t wait for the movie to start.” Miguel said with a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
“Why are you more excited than I am? I literally dragged you down here.” She said and he smirked.
“Maybe because I love romance movie, steamy.” He whispered the last word in her ear and she shuddered.
Just then, the lights came on and the large plasma TV in front, switched on.
The name of the movie, ‘TO DIE FOR LOVE’ appeared on the screen.
“I wonder why you chose this movie, To die for love… It sounds like an emotional movie.” He scoffed and she chuckled.
“Wanna watch an emotional movie, I just feel like crying.” She said and he looked at her weirdly.
Crying?? Was she okay?
He thought.
The movie began playing while they munched on their popcorn as they watched.
Just like expected, it was an emotional film. A teary one at that.
The ML and the FL in the story had a complicated love story. Their families were rivals, so their love story wasn’t accepted by their parents… They were been pulled apart several times.
“Oh no.” Yolanda mumbled and Miguel rolled his eyes.
This wasn’t the kind of movie he expected, it wasn’t steamy at all… Just playing with someone’s emotion, mtcheeew.
He hissed and began pressing his phone but stopped when he began hearing low sobs.
He raised his head and his eyes widened in surprise to see Yolanda crying.
Seriously??
Was… Was she really crying coz of a movie?? He wondered.
“Hey… What’s wrong??” He asked and her tears only increased.
He looked around to see if people were looking at them, luckily for him no one was.
“He shouldn’t have died. Why did he die? This movie is so emotional, heartbreaking! I feel sorry for Elsie.” She cried more and Miguel face palmed himself.
At times he wondered if this was the same Yolanda he got married to, coz she keeps surprising him.
So she could be this emotional but keeps acting all cold, tch!
“It’s okay, he didn’t die in real, it’s just a movie…” He tried to pacify.
“You won’t understand, it looks so real…” She hiccupped and he gave her his handkerchief since she won’t stop crying.
“Let’s just go from here, I can’t handle this movie any longer.” She said and stood up.
Miguel stood up as well and they left.
All through their drive to the hotel, she kept soliloquizing.
It was just a freaking movie, not like he died in real but she won’t take that.
“Why do I feel your tears has nothing to do with this movie any longer?? Coz you’ve been crying for hours now.” He said when they got to their room.
She sniffed.
“You won’t understand.” She said, trying to stop the tears, her eyes had become red already.
“Then make me understand.” He urged.
“It’s late already, goodnight.” She sniffed before walking into the bathroom.
Okay, this was it! Will she say something already??
°°°°°
Few minutes later, the two had gone to bed. Yolanda slept on the bed while Miguel on the couch, just like they did.
Suddenly, she began having her usual nightmare, but this time it was clearer.
“Please, don’t do this Nico, help!” She yelled as he kissed her neck forcefully.
His hands moved to her back and he began unzipping her gown.
“No!! Please!” She begged and tried to push him but his hold was too strong.
“Shut up!” He yelled, frightening her.
Her eyes glistened with tears that it became hard for her to see with her glasses.
She kept struggling with him and he pushed her on the bed. “Please.” She whimpered as he joined her on the bed.
“Don’t act like a novice Yoyo, you love me right?? Then let me have you just this once.” He said but she shook her head..
“Please Nico, I’m not ready.” She said and immediately got down from the bed but he caught her before she could try to run.
“You’re not going anywhere, you’re mine!!” He yelled, pushing her back on the bed.
He began kissing her violently. She managed to break the kiss and bit him hard on his chest.
He screamed in pain and let her go. She quickly got down from the bed and began running to the door.
It was locked but the key was there, so she just twisted it backwards, before she could open it, Nico dragged her from behind and pushed her roughly.
She fell, hitting her head in the cupboard which she held for support.
“BÃtch! You’re not going anywhere until you satisfy me!” He roared and came for her but she was already furious.
Her eyes met with the glassy flower vase on the cupboard and she held it. Immediately Nico turned her to face him, she smashed the vase on his head.
And blood filled everywhere.
“Ahh!!” She sprang up in fear. Miguel rushed to her.
“Landa??” He called. She was panting heavily, tears rolling down her eyes.
“Landa… You’re crying, what’s the problem??” He asked but she didn’t answer.
A while later, she gave Miguel the glass after drinking the water and he took it.
“Are you ready to share this disturbing nightmare with me now??” He asked.
They were currently seated in the balcony staring at the stars in the sky.
She wasn’t crying again and her sniffles had reduced.
“It all began four years ago, when I got into the college…” She started.
TBC…
