Bab 12: "..will completely depend on your performance.."
Only deep breaths can be heard in the place.
It came from the two people who had been fighting in the ring for three minutes now.
Each was trying to wait for the first one to move. Until one decided to make an attack.
"DUHHHH!" Lawrence was roughly hit down upon Akki's counter attack.
Bruises were evident on Lawrence body. His nose was bleeding while Akki was preparing to throw his final punch.
Lawrence got terrified on seeing Akki through his eyes. His eyes were merciless!
Akki was not furious because of Zowie's mother but largely because of their situation! As Lawrence had brought Zowie to conversation a while ago, he could not help but get enraged upon thinking that she will be the collateral damage out of her mother's doing!
He was angry with himself because he will be using the innocent lady! But he had no choice! She was the only way!
" Master Akki! Please have mercy! I just have to interrupt you because of your wife!"
Akki begun to come into his senses. ' My wife! WIFE…' The word was echoing on his mind.
"What about my wife? Didn't I tell you.." Akki was suddenly interrupted by Lawrence!
"I am sorry Master Akki!" Lawrence apologetically bowed. "Mistress Zowie said that if you will not be eating lunch with her, then she will not eat!"
The edges of Akki's lips curved. 'Silly stubborn wifey! She's a little bit possessive.' His eyes displayed a glimpse of brightening.
Lawrence was flabbergasted! He could not believe what he had witnessed! Akki was a little bit blushing!
'From a demon into a tamed puppy! What on earth is happening? Is this really happening?' He controllably thought from within.
"Master Akki can you pinched me?" He unmindfully said, trying to prove he was not dreaming.
"What?" Akki frowned. " Get yourself up Lawrence! You're acting like a child!" He coldly added and left him on air.
Lawrence felt like crying. He did not know what to feel now. Then, he exhaled his deepest breath.
" I guess I have to prepare myself for the worst in Master Akki's marriage!" Lawrence downheartedly uttered. Then he went to fix himself and followed Akki immediately.
Lawrence saw Akki's calm face but was still cold while talking to Red. And as he saw Akki leaving, he abruptly passed by on Red. Then, their eyes made a meaningful contact.
He almost ran heading to Akki's car.
As soon as Lawrence set himself on the driver's set. He was a bit sweating from nervousness, waiting for Akki's next words. He was still not sure if Akki was totally in better mood now or not.
"Let's not keep my wife from waiting Lawrence. Drive!" Akki instantly requested.
Lawrence let out a big smile as if the thorns in his heart had been pulled away. He became relieved.
Akki had called at the house. And they had stopped by on a flower shop before heading to the mansion.
The rain had stopped as they arrived at the mansion.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
"Come in!" Zowie unmindfully said. She did not care who was knocking.
The door opened and she can only see a big bouquet of assorted tulips.
"Clapsed!" The door closed.
Zowie's heart melted. She could not help herself from relieving her stress upon seeing the flowers. She could not explain why!
" Care to have our lunch as officially married couple Mrs. Araneta?" Akki sincerely smiled displaying his beautifully arranged white teeth.
'Oh how cute of you Akki!' Zowie secretly thought.
" What's with your smile? If I know, you are just forced to eat with me now because I was threatening you! Am I right Akki?" She sounded annoyed while holding both her arms up.
"Don't think like that Zowie! Anything for my wife!" Akki was controlling himself from hugging his cute stubborn wife. ' They say hugs can take away thousand stresses! I wonder if it's true!' The idea was totally new for him. He did not even know where the idea came from. Was he this pitiful?
Akki took her hands to plant kisses on them. But his face darkened.
"Take it off!" He lightly threw her hands and walked away a few steps.
Zowie got confused. ' What's with the sudden mood swing!'
Akki turned back and gave her an intense look, waiting for her to do his order.
He became impatient with Zowie's slow reaction. He took the ring on her hand and threw it on the window!
It was Lance' engagement ring! Zowie thought she had already lost it!
" I don't want to see you wearing any other ring that doesn't come from me!" Akki lightly shouted like a child.
Zowie was shocked!
'Are you jealous at this early? Huh! So childish!' She laughed unbelievably from within. But her heart was a little flattered.
"I am sincerely sorry Akki! I thought I have already lost it. Now will you stop acting like a jealous husband!" Zowie gave him a teasing smile.
"And what if I am a jealous? I am your husband now!" He coldly said while walking back towards her bed. And he whispered in a seductive voice, " I am possessive too." He said it like a sweet warning to her ear.
Zowie froze, her mind was not functioning well.
"Knock! Knock!"
She was startled.
"Lunch is ready Master Akki!" A female voice sounded.
"Oh! The lunch is ready! Shall we?" Zowie tried to change the atmosphere.
With no emotion seen on his face, Akki went to open the door and took the set table for lunch. Then, he closed the door without saying anything.
" I have talked to Dr. Robert. He said that you can be free from that dextrose stuff today. He will be here later to confirm it." He gave her the food.
Zowie gave him a confused look. 'Yesterday, he was sweetly spooning me to eat. But now, he's a heartless bastard! What a bipolar!'
"You are completely capable now than last evening so don't give me such look!" Akki straightforwardly told her.
They are silently eating their lunch when Zowie broke the silence.
"When I am completely healed, I want to work." She said while giving him a serious look.
"You are my wife now. I did not build and manage my company just to let my wife be pampered to work." Akki replied with annoyance.
"I will die, if I will not work! You must know that." She insisted.
"Okay, I will think of it after tonight!" Akki replied in an instant.
'Tonight?' Zowie innocently wondered and the next statement made her extremely agitated.
"My decision will completely depend on your performance tonight!" Akki firmly said while looking straight into her eyes and into her soul.
