My Woman.

Lana had no idea what had just happened. A strange man suddenly kissed her and grabbed her waist tightly. Her body froze, and her mind immediately went blank. Her hands pressed against the man's chest and when she regained consciousness, Lana immediately pushed him away.

"What have you done?!" shouted Lana. She wiped her lips with the back of her hand, then covered them just in case she got another surprise attack. "You insolent man!"

The man just chuckled. Then answered in a relaxed tone. "I'm wiping my lips," he said.

Lana blinked in confusion. Her eyebrows shot up. "You must be crazy!" and the man smiled again. An annoying smile. "Why are you smiling? You think this is funny?!"

"I only took of mine," the man said casually.

"Yours?" Lana was suddenly attacked by anger and anger. "I'm not a cheap woman who―" Lana's arm was pulled towards the stranger before she could finish her sentence.

"Obviously you're not a cheap woman because I paid you a high price, Lana," he whispered right in Lana's ear.

Lana gasped in surprise. Her eyes were perfect. Her heart was beating very hard. All the memories that had happened in the past two years immediately came together like a train without brakes.

"You… you…." Lana's tongue felt numb even if only to mention the name of the man in front of her at this time. His dark eyes seemed to shackle Lana.

Impossible! Of all places and times. How could she meet the man who bought her two years ago? The man that even Lana wanted to forget.

"H-how come you are here?" she asked in a trembling voice.

"Same question, Lana. What are you doing here? Obviously, you didn't come here to see me because the last time I remember… you ran away."

"I'm not running away! Our agreement is only one night. Nothing more," Lana said frantically. She couldn't escape Darren when her arms were in his grip.

"You're acting like you've done a good job, hm? Do you think other men would behave the same way I did? An inexperienced woman like you will only be made"

"Enough. Stop it. I ask …." Lana pressed Darren's arm as she watched someone pass through the corridor on the other side. Luckily the man didn't walk towards them. Lana was really afraid that someone would come and hear their conversation. "We can talk about this matter elsewhere. Please… I will―"

"Escape from me again?" cut in Darren, "I don't like to be played with you, Lana," he warned.

"No. I couldn't have dared to do it. I'm really sorry to just walk away, but I have my reasons."

"That should be a decent enough reason to keep me from getting mad, Lana." Darren narrowed sharply.

"No. Trust me." Lana squeezed Darren's arm tighter. She pleaded while her eyes were busy observing her surroundings. Even though there was no one Lana knew at the party, Lana's heart was beating really fast.

"Okay."

"Come with me," Lana said, taking Darren to a quieter place without many people passing by. Having only walked a few steps, Lana was stopped by the appearance of a man and a woman from the direction of the stairs. The two of them are like lovers when viewed from the gesture of the man hugging the woman's waist.

"Lana?" The call came from the woman who looked confused to see Lana's whereabouts.

The man beside her was silent as he stared at Lana non-stop. Seeing that, the woman immediately wrapped her arms around the man's arm. With a mocking smile, the woman leaned her head on her lover's shoulder.

"Long time no see Lana. How are you?" asked the woman, "I didn't know you were going to the wedding today," she continued.

"I'm very good, Stella. And it's absolutely none of your business," Lana replied in a fierce tone.

"Oh… if you can attend your stepmother's wedding, of course, you can also attend your ex-lover's wedding. Right, right, Lana?"

Lana clenched her fists. Her friend and lover betrayed her by having an affair behind her back. And why did she have to meet two people she hated so much? Lana really couldn't stand this.

"For someone who has snatched someone's lover, you really have no shame, Stella."

Stella smiled mockingly. "Seize? I never took David from you because we liked each other. Shine, Lana! No man will ever like a woman like you. What a boring woman," Stella remarked scathingly.

"Seeing you guys here again… I became even more aware and grateful. That I was kept away by cunning people like you," said Lana while holding back anger. This is very painful. Their betrayal left a wound that is hard for Lana to forget. When she saw the faces of Stella and David, the bitter memories came back. The moment when she saw David and Stella in the same bed without wearing a single dress made Lana's tears want to come out. But Lana tried to hold it in. She had to be strong in front of the two assholes who had betrayed her. She must not look broken in front of them or they will mock her.

"How dare you!"

"Stella, that's enough. We're not here to fight," said David.

"But-"

"Stella, please." Stella then fell silent with a bent face. "Lana, I'm sorry."

David's voice sounded light in Lana's ears. The times when they were in a relationship flashed through her mind again, but then she was blown away by the harsh reality when she found out that David was in a relationship with her own friend.

"You came back here?" he asked.

"Yes."

"How are you?"

"Very well"

David fell silent hearing Lana's short and cold answer. Not knowing what to do, David held out his hand. He wants to shake hands to let go of longing because they haven't seen each other for a long time.

"Good to see you again, Lana," David said. His smile immediately disappeared as his hand was pushed away roughly by Darren. The man suddenly approached Lana and wrapped her arms around her waist area.

Darren rolled his eyes lazily. Then glanced at Lana who gasped in surprise when she felt a touch on her waist. She was about to protest but fell silent when Darren tightened his grip.

"I hate it when someone touches mine." Darren's eyes narrowed. His tone was deep and cold.

"Who are you?" asked David in a fierce tone.

"Someone who could kill you if you dare touches a strand of my woman's hair," Darren threatened.

Not only, Stella, but Lana was also surprised by Darren's sudden statement. While David just squinted his eyes in disbelief. Lana would almost limp if Darren didn't quickly hold her in his strong arms.

Since when did Lana become his woman?!
