Unexpected Encounter

Chapter 8

Recalling what happened last night, Leander's eyes become much more intense than before.

And when Shawn met his eyes, his heart beat sped up, and he started to panic.

Because the man's eyes were full of absolute desire, as he was his possession, already claimed and marked.

Shawn even have the illusion that he already grasped everything in his hands, and he knew exactly that he was coming today.

Which sounds so crazy, so impossible, he couldn't even believe that thought crossed his mind.

"Mr. Martinez," he bit his lip and was silent for a moment. Then he said, "you can asked anything, except to marry me..."

Before he could even finished talking, he immediately cut him off coldly, "Then we have nothing to talked about. You can go."

Shawn grit his teeth, clenched his fist and stood still.

Leander just watched him, without completely driving him away.

Both of them were silent. No one spoke, while they both watched each other intently.

After awhile, Shawn took a deep breath, his voice trembling. "If I marry you will you help my brother with his surgery."

Leander narrowed his eyes. "You agree?"

Shawn smiled bitterly. "Isn't that what Mr. Martinez asked? As long as you can cure Shane. I. I'll marry you.."

Looking at his helpless and bitter smile, Leander frowned, showing an unhappy expression on his face.

He walked up to him.

He reached out and pressed his hands lightly on his shoulders, his deep black eyes, serious. Word by word like a promised, he said. "Marry me. I promise you won't regret it. I will do whatever I can to give you all the affection you want."

*******

They got their marriage certificate quickly.

Using a special method, they immediately got their certificate without any hassles?

Looking at the certificate in his hands, Shawn felt like it's all just a dream.

Did he just get married?

Just like that?

He imagined it millions times, and expected it a million times. But he never dreamed it would occur under sich circumstances.

*****

After getting in the car, Shawn still felt he's on a dream.

Beside him, his new husband, Leander glanced at him. "Shawn don't look like you've lost something. You married a rich, handsome man, who will give you the honor and affection you want. You didn't lost anything."

Because their marriage had been his plan in the beginning, Leander couldn't help but felt guilty while he looked at his lost and depressed face.

Shawn turn his head, and looked seriously at the man he just marry.

Well, he does have a point. He's really handsome, and exuded a charm that he will not be able to resist, even though he doesn't have any feelings for him.

And he's filthy rich.

At first, he thought he's just a senior executive in their company. But now, he knew he's actually the President and the sole heir of a top giant company.

Zeus' family could also be considered as a wealthy and prominent family in Europe but ten of his family were still nothing compared to Leander's family. That's how rich they are.

And objectively speaking, the one who benefited the most in this wedding, was him not Leander.

The disparity between them was too big. They belonged to two different classes that shouldn't have met at all. Even if Leander is looking for someone to get married to, he should have chosen a lady from a prestigious family, not a man from an ordinary family.

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

*****

"Sirs, do I have to return to the company?" the driver asked respectfully.

"Do you want to go to the hospital to see your brother?" Leander's cold eyes glanced at him.

He looked at him, and nod his head. "Yes."

Hearing his answer, Leander look ahead then said to his driver. "Go to the hospital first."

Shawn hesitated then hurriedly said, "I can get a taxi, if its too much trouble."

Shawn was aware that he's a busy man.

When they leave his office, he saw that there's a lot of documents on his table.

Although they were already married, Shawn knew that it's simply a business contract. They do not love each other. So Shawn doesn't want to bother him.

But Leander didn't listen to him and said directly to his driver. "Go to the hospital."

His insistence caused Shawn to unable to refuse.

He was silent for a few seconds, then he silently whispered, "Thank you..."

As soon as he said that words, Leander's dark and cold eyes swept over him, he frowned then unhappily said. "Do you need to be so polite with your husband? Shawn I don't care how you're going to adapt as my husband, but next time, I don't want to hear those words from you again."

When he said that, his voice was low and supressive.

The atmosphere inside the car turned heavy.

Shawn was a little bit breathless, taking a deep gulp of air, while shrinking back, he whispered. "Okay..."

Shawn finally realized that he's married to a very rich and handsome man but he has quite a temper.

Surely no one was perfect.

*****

They finally arrived at the hospital.

When the car stop, the driver hurriedly got out first, then he opened the back door, and retreated respectfully.

Shawn thought, he just brought him to the hospital.

So he hurriedly picked up his bag, got out of the car and wave at Leander. "Then I'll go first. You, you be careful on the road."

Aish, he's really not used to his relationship with Leander yet. Because a while ago, they were just complete strangers to each others but now they are already a married couple.

He turned, ready to leave when he heard a majestic voice behind. "What's the matter, who told you I'm coming back to the company?"

Shawn turned around, then he saw Leander got out of the car, buttoned his cufflinks then walked over him.

"You..." he froze.

Leander came to him, stretched his hands and pulled him into his embrace.

Sorrounded by his warm and seductive breath, with his hands clasped on tightly around his waist, Shawn couldn't help but blushed from embarrassment.

When he pulled away, he heard him saying coldly, "Shawn, I wanted you to marry me not to be a fake couple with you. Now that we are married, it's only natural that I meet your family."

Shawn stiffened.

He already knew it.

Before they had gone to get their marriage certificate, he had said he wanted to be a real couple with him.

So any physical contact was normal.

He should not have pushed him away...

He froze in his arms, no longer struggling.

Leander smiled with satisfaction, holding his slender waist and tightening his arms around it slightly.

"Let's go, I want to see my 'husband's' brother."

When he used the word's husband's brother, Shawn stiffened once again.

Leander led him into the hospital, but Shawn suddenly tug at his shirt, stopping him in his tracks..

"Wait a minute, I have something to say...."
