Proof of Marriage THIRD PERSON's POINT OF VIEW Staring dumbfounded at the papers in front of him, Seth's thoughts traveled back to that time. 3 years ago, according to the papers laid in front of him including their marriage certificate, he and Sun got married three years ago through his uncle who apparently is a judge. In the middle of the night. After they met in a bar. '... so romantic.' He thought sarcastically while internally screaming. Yeah right, three years ago, the shittiest moments in his life. The thought alone of how messy and miserable he was back then including how foolish and naive he was makes Seth want to slam his head against the table and just lose consciousness, he can't do that though, not when in front of him is his husband. 'Damn..!' He's in real trouble. To think he was just thinking that this man holds no evidence and is completely bluffing, no, suddenly, a thought struck Seth. He examines the papers once again. 'What if these are fake?' He's sure it won't be difficult for this man to forge a fake document. He discreetly eyed Sun but only to jolt when their eyes met. He is looking at him almost unblinking with a big smile, he is literally beaming that Seth had to look away because Sun's shine is blinding. 'For an alpha, he's too weird!' "Uh," Seth's eyes slightly widen when his voice shakes that's why he cleared his throat before continuing. "Aside from these... documents, don't you have any more proof of your marriage?" He added emphasis on the word 'documents' hoping that Sun, the weird alpha, would understand he is having doubts. Sun nodded his head, it was rather too much for him who's about to go insane from his response. 'The heck, what more does he have for me?' He's trembling while waiting for Sun to hand him whatever other evidence he holds of their marriage. Yeah, sure he said he would give him a chance but deep down he is freaking hoping their marriage is nothing but a hoax, a lie. How could he possibly married a — "Here," Sun handed him a small envelope. With a slightly shaking hands took it while breathing deeply before his shaky hands started opening to see its contents. 'What could this be? Another document? Promissory note? Ugh! I'm gonna die!' The tension is too much for him that's why he quickly took the contents inside and his entire world shook once more upon the pictures inside. Still, with his hands shaking, Seth picks up one of the pictures that fell from the envelope, one of the pictures he dropped out of shock. 'Is this really me?' he asks himself but the picture itself is a confirmation. ''I mean, could I be more haggard in this picture? Damn, I literally looked like a pleasant next to him,'' he mumbled to himself while internally complaining how handsome Sun the weirdo looked in the picture while he's obviously haggard and drunk! He glared at Sun, "you didn't Photoshop this did you?" He asks with a squinted eyes. It's possible, right? Sun seems rich of course it's possible. Sun, on the other hand, doesn't look fazed by his question as if he expected this much doubts from him. Like he knows his issues. "If pictures aren't enough I have a clip of you talking while drunk." He said offering him the phone. Seth gulped before accepting the open phone and clicked the gallery, his hands shaking more. Seth may keep on denying it but his brain is screaming for him to stop what his hands are doing, to not watch the video anymore because if he does, his sanity and self-confidence may crumble. ...the pictures did a lot of trauma. He's not bluffing. Click... Sounds of noises and music can be heard while the camera focused on him while he is drinking cursed scotch or something. "Dash why I don't trust *hicc* alfassh... They're alll trassshhhsss, vas... *hicc* tards think they above niwan elssssh! PAK *hicc* YO ALFASSH!" He heard a chuckle near the phone. "... you're too adorable." Killed. Seth turned the phone off while frozen staring in the dead air. He looks beneath him while stomping his feet lightly on the floor. He didn't say anything. He remained calm, externally because internally... 'THE f**k KILL ME NOOOOW!!!!' ... internally he's actually dying of humiliation. Not only is he haggard in that video, but he's also acting so stupid too! 'UGHH!!!' "Seth?" He heard Sun's voice far, far away. 'Who's Seth? Me?' He's too shocked to the point that he's denying his existence. Adding the trauma from the pictures, Seth's humiliation is in a whole new level that he lost consciousness while his eyes are wide open from shock. That day, Sun, on the other hand, added another cute image to his collection. ~ After the little incident yesterday, Seth spent his entire day alone in the room thinking, contemplating on what to do next. Sun has given him enough proof of their marriage but he is still doubtful. This entire thing doesn't feel right for him — though what he did that night three years ago is worse — he also can't take back the words he said to Sun. He runs a hand on his face frustratedly, what was he thinking? Was he that drunk that he agreed to a spontaneous marriage and what was that man thinking too? To marry someone who's a complete stranger. They're both idiots! 'Three months... I told him I will give him three months.' Considering that, three months is short and he might remember just what happened that night. If that happens he will be relieved once he knows what truly happened and what he was thinking. 'It couldn't be that bad, right?' Sun's face appeared in his mind, Sun is an alpha but he seems different from other alphas out there. He must have seen that he is different from others three years ago too that's why he agreed to their marriage — or he's utterly drunk to the point of stupidity — anyway, Sun might have helped him. He stood up then opened the door of his room, the long hallways still amazed him, it's like he is walking on the palace of the cartoons and movies he watches when he was young, it's simple but elegant at the same time. Sun sure is rich. Once he reached the living room, he finds the butler, Sun's personal butler walking his way towards him. Clark, Sun's personal butler slightly bowed as a courtesy. "Master Sun will arrive shortly." He said while Seth just nodded his head in response. Shortly after that, Sun arrived and sat in front of him while butler Clark served him a cup of tea like him. He can feel Sun's eyes staring intently at him, waiting for what he is about to say but he can't look at him, he finds him too handsome for what his sanity can handle so as much as he wants to indulge himself and look at him as if he's a piece of art, he stopped himself. He heard the sound of the cup clicking the saucer as Sun placed the cup back. He heaved a deep sigh before he looks on Sun. "So, I saw the evidence yesterday, and just like what he talked about, I will give you the chance you asked." He looks away again, see, Sun is too handsome! He's basically shining even though he's not doing anything! "Three months, you have three months to achieve whatever it is that you wanted from me. Before that, we have to establish rules. I think you're aware how wary I am of alphas like you." He concluded glancing on Sun. He caught him smiling before Sun responded. "I know and I understand. Clark, please get us a paper and pen." Sun commanded to which Clark obliged without saying anything. Once Clark left, none of them said anything. Seth personally doesn't want to say anything, he doesn't know what to say. This is the side-effect of living alone and rarely going out of his apartment while having only one friend, he doesn't know how to strike a conversation! He's better in conversation during his live sessions because he wears a mask but right now, he can't formulate proper words to say! "Once the rules are established, what do you want to do? Let's go buy you something to wear then let's eat outside. There's a newly opened restaurant nearby and I heard their food is good." Seth looks at Sun in awe. Amazing, how can a person said that calmly to someone who shouted at him as if they're long-time friends. He's amazed at how easy for Sun to start a conversation. He must have a lot of friends, unlike him who's a complete loner without Viv. His eyes widen upon remembering Viv! She must be going crazy because of him! "Ah! I have to get some of my stuffs in my apartment and call my friend too." He caught a glimpse of Sun's phone in the pocket of his sweatpants. "Can I... borrow your phone? I have to call my friend." Sun smiled at him then handed the phone. "021518, the passcode." "Oh," He just gave him the passcode of his phone as if it's nothing. Sun's phone is a known cellphone brand internationally but the model of his phone doesn't look familiar. It doesn't look like the latest release too. After dialing Viv's phone number which he memorizes, after five rings, she finally picked up. "Who's this?" Seth winced. Her voice sounded sharp and annoyed. "Hey! Who's this?" She asked again. "Uh, it's me—" "b***h WHAT THE f**k WHERE ARE YOU?! I'VE BEEN CALLING YOUR PHONE NONSTOP!!! I'M ABOUT TO GO TO THE POLICE TO FILE YOU AS MISSING PERSON RIGHT NOW!!! EXPLAIN SETH! EXPLAIN TO ME WHERE YOUR b***h SELF IS!" Seth winced and take the phone away from his ear. When he thinks that Viv calmed down he spoke, "Sorry—" "SORRY MY ASS! I'M SO CLOSE TO GOING CRAZY BECAUSE OF YOU BIIITCH!" Then, silence. On the other line, Viv heaved a deep sigh. "What happened? Where are you? Are you safe?" Viv asked consecutively. Seth couldn't help but smile. The way her mood changes amazed Seth all the time. "I'm fine, I'm safe. I'm, uh, staying at a friend's house—" "— friend? Who?" Seth scratches his temple while clearing his throat. "Friend from..  daycare?" "..." "Ah...ha...ha..." Seth awkwardly laugh. "Dumbass. I won't pry but, are you sure you're not being threatened right now?" She pried, ironically." "Yeah, I'm sure." "No gun pointed in your forehead right now?" Seth squirmed glancing on Sun. "No..." Why is he still looking at him? He is almost unblinking! "Oh, why the hesitance? Don't tell me..." Seth let out a groan out of frustration. Sure, he loves Viv because she's his only friend and she's like a sister to him but at times like this when she is purposely teasing him knowing from the tone of his voice that he's in an uncomfortable situation, Seth wanted to give her a slap on the face, a friendly one that will leave a mark. "No one's pointing a damn gun at me, Viv. Seriously." "Aw, hope someone would." The audacity and she is his best friend! "Ya'know, as p*****t for worrying the living s**t out of me." Then she heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you are fine." "Yeah," he agreed, smiling. "If not a gun, a d*ck probably—" "— gotta go, bye." He ended the call and handed it back to Sun feeling embarrassed for no reason, oh, there is a reason, Sun is the only person with him right now and to think Viv said that over the phone while the phone's owner is just meters away from him, he is embarrassed by how vulgar Viv is! Here he thought he's used to it but he's obviously wrong. "Thank you..." He gratefully thanked him unable to look at his face. "Sure, no problem." Sun then stood up then reduced the distance between them, Seth, confused by his action could only look up to him from his seat. Then, Sun grinned. "Before we go out let's get you familiar with the mansion." 'Mansion... Of course, you have to say that word in front of a broke ass like me.' He internally shed tears for himself. Touring around Sun's mansion made Seth more dumbass than he already is. Seth's wealth is something beyond his imagine from how his mansion looks, it's a European architecture exterior but the interior is a mixture of European and modern design, it has a greenhouse, and a private swimming pool outside with a retractable transparent ceiling so if you want to soak in the pool you can enjoy the pool during sunny or rainy days. Seth is listening to Sun's explanation of the part another building on the western part of the compound, yes, Sun freaking own an entire compound as his residence at the top of a freaking hill in a renowned village of the elites, the land Sun owns as his residence blew Seth's mind that he doesn't bother asking how big his land is, just using an E-car to move from a stroll around is enough for Seth to know Sun is filthy rich. Sun has a private basketball court, tennis court, golf court, helipad, and gym on the northern part of the compound while the means to travel from the compound to outside uses an underground tunnel that connects the main road of the village to his compound. 'I want to faint... Damn... Too wealthy..' Yes. Sun's compound is so extra, Sun must be spending all his time in his own kingdom, Seth would if he could. Oh wait, they're married. 'Wait, what?' What did he just think of that? But yes, if Seth is being honest, if he lived in such a place he would still live like he is right now, cropped up in his own room, and won't be stepping outside for an entire year. After the tour, the two went back to the mansion in silence, Seth is too occupied to strike a conversation and he doesn't even know how to while Sun seems to be in deep thought. "Here are the rules I'd like to give." His rules are simple, he'd like to have his own space if he will stay with him for three months. Second, during his heat he wishes to be alone no matter what, he is too... wild when his heat strikes that he's worried for himself and Sun. Fourth, he would like to have his freedom despite being locked up in three months, and finally, Sun is not allowed to sexually touch him or force him to do anything. Seth watched as Sun's forehead creases, then, he placed the paper on the table turning to him with a serious face. "There is a mistake in your rules." This time, Seth's forehead creases, confused. "What do you mean?" Mistake? What could be the mistake in the rules he wrote? "Yes. Seth, you are not locked up in here but you're simply living with your husband." Sun corrected with a honey-sweet smile plastered on his lips. POOF Seth looked away while clearing his throat. Aside from being filthy rich, Sun is a flirt too! Now he needs to watch his back for temptation, especially Sun! The rules he established about being forced, he might end up breaking it and attack Sun instead! 'NOOOOOO!' He can't have that, at least for now. ~ Happy reading! (*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡ ...not edited...
