Violet Mercado
I was eating my breakfast when I heard someone knocking on my door.
"Who might it be early in the morning?" I asked myself while walking towards the door. "What are you doing here, Jun?" I asked when I saw who it was.
"We are now an arranged couple so I am here to fulfill my role as your future husband," He said, then tried to come inside, but I didn't give way for him not to come inside. "Hey, don't worry, it doesn't matter if your apartment is messy," He said then give me a nudge to the side and make his way inside.
Jun Villaruel
When I got in, I saw a lot of uncleaned dishes on the sink and table, there were dirty clothes everywhere, shirts, shorts, and undergarments, some of them were on the sofa, in the bed, in the bathroom, and on the floor. There is also some dirt that I have no idea what is.
I couldn't believe my eyes. I didn't expect a girl to live this way. Mom wasn't like this in our house, but why is Violet like that?

"Oh wow look? My house looks like a disaster," I said while looking at my messy house.
"It's okay. This is why we are an arranged couple, right? We need to help each other," he said, then went into my living room, while I stood there near my door.
I made an effort to make him think twice about whether he wanted to marry me. It's so annoying that he can accept a girl living this way, or the girl who he will marry.
He goes to my sofa, he removes all of the things on my sofa and puts them on the floor, he sets all the things on the floor on the side using his feet, and he puts his things on the floor.
I came back to the breakfast table and continued eating but it was interrupted because Jun came. While eating, I notice he is searching for something.
"Where's your broom?" Your sponge? And your laundry soap?" he asks continuously. I just ignored him and focused on eating, he said. He will never find those things because I disposed of them last night.
The truth is, I don't like messy and dirty things, but I needed to do it. I don't want to stick with him for the rest of my life.
"Nevermind, I'll buy a new one," he said, then went outside the house.
I just shrugged and let him do what he wanted to do. I finished my breakfast and went to my room. I packed my clothes and things. If I can't make him leave, I could be the one leaving this house. I have another house.
Jun Villaruel
When I came back to Violet's house she had finished her breakfast already. I looked for her all over the house but I couldn't find any sign of her. I just let her be because I know she will be back soon. She lives here.
Also, it will be easier for me to clean this house because she isn't around. I could also surprise her with the cleanliness of the house when she comes back.

I found out that there are visitors in the Gangster Arena because of Lester's text, even though I hadn't finished unpacking my things there and left my house. I left and went straight to the Gangster Arena.
"Hey, look at Felix," Lester pointed at Felix, who was now fighting in the ring. Felix didn't get my attention, instead, it is the one he is fighting with, Venice Sanchez, 17 years old, Rank one in Japan, the girl who wants me dead, and one of the reasons why my Mom is no longer here.
I'm getting excited about sparring with someone, but all I want to fight right now is that girl. I'm itching to beat her up.
"Japan wins to Singapore! Who else wants to fight with Japan? Is there any representative left?" the Mc asks the audience.
"Us," Jun and I said simultaneously and it made us look at each other while raising our hands.
"Oh! Two of the top-ranking gangs want to challenge the Champion from Japan! They are the gang that has been alternately taking the rank of one and two!" MC announces. That's why the audience got into an uproar.
"Do you know who their leader is? You look like you want to finish them off," Jenn said.
"If either of you win, they will be the new Rank One and the one that loses will be the new Rank Two. So either of you can start first. Who wants to go first?" the Mc asks us. Before I could even raise my hand, Jun raised his hand first. The MC looked at me, and I nodded to say that I agreed and would let them go first.
"Well! You can rest-" The MC didn't finish what he was about to say because Venice snatched the mic from him.
"Let me tell you this, I don't care if I just finished fighting awhile ago, I can fight both of you simultaneously, and I know I'll win," Venice told us.
"*smirk* What a brag," Jenn said beside me, smirking too because of what she said.
