Chapter 11: CHAPTER 11: I RATHER DIE! YOU HATE ME THAT MUCH ANYWAY!
"E-Ethan! I- I thought you will be staying in Paris for 2 weeks? Why didn't you tell me that you're coming home earlier than expected?" Aisha was astounded when Ethan came inside the room. He was supposed to come home by Wednesday.
"Am I not allowed to decide how long my business trip will take?" He icily answered. She smiled weakly. She was actually happy to know that he already came back. She didn't know but she kinda missed him. Just the sight of him made her happy even if he never laid his eyes on her. She didn't know why he hated her that much. But she decided to win him over again, for her sister? Yes, it should be for the sake of her sister.
"I, I am actually happy to see you." She mumbled, "I'll just prepare your shower." She hastily ran inside the bathroom. After that, she called him in.
"Ethan? What do you want to eat? I'll prepare something for you." She yelled.
"Anything" He lazily answered. Aisha went directly to the kitchen and prepared a sweet and spicy roasted chicken with sweet mashed potato. The house chef once told her that Ethan mostly eats any kind of dish made out of chicken.
When Aisha went in, Ethan already changed into his trunks --- "again?" She muttered. She placed the food tray beside Ethan and motioned him to eat. He looked at her surprisingly.
"Since when did you learn how to cook?" He mocked her. "Are you sure this is edible? You're not planning to kill me; I hope." He doubted her. Aisha let out a crispy laugh that echoed in the room.
"How would I dare to kill the most handsome man in the country?" she joked.
"'Then you should eat with me then," He taunted her.
"B-but I already ate earlier." She pouted. Ethan creased a brow as if judging her.
"Yah!" She stomped her foot in dismay. "Why are you doubting me!? Why should I try to kill my husband? Am I that insane in your eyes?!" She yelled. Ethan was not convinced at all. He just watches her with his arms crossed.
"Fine! I'll eat with you! Oh no! I will eat everything, just watch and don't you dare eat my roasted chicken!" Aisha sat opposite him with an irritated face. She took the chicken wings and started biting it. She kept eating, still upset. Ethan just watched her in awe.
"What?!" she looked at him, "Why are you not eating anything huh?! You still doubt me? Fine! Then you should starve! Oh no, that's not fair, you should take a bite so we will die together!" She eyed him frustratingly.
"You already ate half of the chicken, are you sure you're going to finish all of that?" He really wanted to laugh while watching her upset face, but he tried to mask it with his sarcasm.
"YES, I WILL! I will die from poison anyway, so why not consume everything while it tastes delicious!" She was yelling with her mouth full.
"Just give me that, you damn woman. You'll get sick in no time!" Ethan tried to pull the tray away from her but she held it tight.
"Why do you even care?!" She shouted. "If I get sick then that'll be fine! It's even better if I die quickly since that makes you happy! I RATHER DIE SINCE YOU HATE ME ANYWAY!"
"Will you stop spewing nonsense and give me the damn tray?!" Ethan got suddenly upset. "Do you think dying is a joke?!"
"Who do you think started that nonsense?!" She released the tray. Ethan saw the tears that started to build up in her eyes, but she looked away while pursing her lips. "Is it that hard to trust your wife?" She pouted. She was about to say something but Ethan cut her off by capturing her lips. Her eyes widened.
"D-did he kiss me? No! He is kissing me!" Aisha was shocked and her mind was in jumble. She cannot think straight. She froze.
"Would that be enough as compensation?" Ethan suddenly spoke when he released her lips. He didn't hear any response. Aisha froze, she was not even blinking. She looked like a girl character in an anime movie who was just kissed by her ultimate crush for the first time.
"Tsk! Will you stop acting as if it was your first kiss?!'' Ethan woke her in her daze.
"B-but that was my first kiss!" She muttered silently. She didn't know what to feel. She felt like killing him and at the same time kissing him again. She finally glared at him.
"Then don't eat if you don't want to!" She took the food tray in Ethan's hands and she strode back to the kitchen.
Ethan was perplexed by her sudden action. But he shrugged it away.
Aisha was in the kitchen when Caleb suddenly called.
"Why are you calling me at this late hour?!" She yelled.
"Oops! It seems like someone made you upset at this late hour, huh? Were you dumped by someone?" Caleb let out a mocking laugh.
"Shut up! Just tell me why you called?" Still upset.
"Aisha, I got a report that someone knew where you are right now, though I'm not sure if they knew your exact location. Sis, you are in danger. You better come back here so we can fully protect you!" Caleb was worried sick for Aisha's safety.
"Caleb I can't! You know that, right? I need to stay here until my twin sister gets better. I need to protect her and her family. You understand my situation right?" She explained.
"Aisha, I understand, I totally do. But if your enemies found out, their lives will be in danger as well!"
"They won't know. Nobody knew about my real identity. No one even knew that we are identical twins. As long as they don't discover it, I'll be safe. Don't worry. I'll make sure to watch my back. I will protect them with my life as well."
"Okay. I won't be able to persuade you anyway. Just be careful. And let me know if you need me there, okay?"
"Yes. Thanks." When the call ended, Aisha punched the kitchen wall in frustration, but she didn't notice the shadow hiding in a corner who heard their full conversation.
