Chapter: Chapter 88Carly “And then you lost your manners, and forgot to knock when it isn't your room,” Celia scorned, her demeanor changing like she wasn't the sweet Celia who was talking to me a while ago. But then if someone had tried drowning me, I would hate them too. “Come on Celia, you should boil down your anger. We haven't seen each other in years, that’s a whole lot of time for anything to happen, and change, right sister in law.” Celia, rolled her eyes." “Is that your new engraved mask?” She laughed, not the usual one, but a very awkward laugh. “Try again Selena, because though you have a new one, I'm sure your old one is still there.” She pointed at her chest. “The little part where the scheming little bitch is, can never be fixed.” Celia's voice is belittling, but Selena's? She only smiled like nothing was getting to her.As I watched both of them, one radiated anger, anger surrounding her space, and the other held a facade, and I wondered how deadly the deed was behind it. “Now tha

Chapter: Chapter 87Carly Everyone started eating, and not wanting to seem rude, I joined in, picking at the food. I couldn’t just bring myself to eat. “Hm, sorry to cause disturbance, but Master Arthur asked to give this to Lady Carly.” A servant walked in with a little bowl in her hand, her eyes weaving, looking at us. Her hands clung to her apron. She was shy. And then her words settle in. Arthur prepared something for me? I looked at her, and our eyes met. Everyone seemed to have the same thought. “Master Arthur said you shouldn’t eat anything, since you ate breakfast. It’s better not to upset your stomach.” She said in one breath, her tone deepened as she tried imitating exactly how the message was delivered. Though nervous, she walked to me and dropped the plate in my front. Then bowed before leaving immediately. Looking at the plate, it was just sliced apples on it. If he was here, I had properly reminded him of what he prepared this morning. But there Arthur was being thoughtful, prepa

Chapter: Chapter 86Carly “Celia, mind your language!” Older Wilder scolded with a frown. He stood up. “Everyone invited here is family, don't act that way.” “But grandfather-” Older Wilder cock his brows at her, and she zipped up. Though she wanted to say more. She turned, sulking, and walked out of the room, not without sparing me a glance. Whoever had arrived wasn't someone she liked. I turned to Arthur, but he held no expression. “Come child, my kids aren't so well-behaved.” Older Wilder stopped in front of me, waiting for me to follow him. I didn't even know he had walked to me. I stood up and followed him, and with Arthur walking behind us, slow, taking his time. We passed two servants who bowed at us, and I don’t miss the way they steal peeks at Arthur. And that sent a feeling I couldn’t understand to my stomach. They are humans, and should look at anyone, however, there should be decency. We walked passed them and headed downstairs. “Father,” A lady stood up from the couch, as she turne

Chapter: Chapter 85Carly The ride to the mansion was loud. Not from us talking, but because Arthur decided to blast our space with music, and worse? He sang along, every bit, every piece. While I could only stare at the window. Not giving in to his words about me joining. At that moment, he had looked exactly like the Arthur of the past. We arrived in front of the Wilder mansion and stepped out of the car, then followed Arthur in. Only to be welcomed with another round of music filling the house, only that it was country music. My brows knotted, feeling annoyed at having sensitive ears. “Who did hell turn on that shit? I swear Celia.” Arthur suddenly yelled by my side and then moved passed me, heading upstairs, and leaving me behind. What was wrong with him today? He was so high-spirited. “Oh my goodness. I didn't know you were in already.” Celia came out from a room at the side, a grin spreading over her face. “We just came in,” I spoke as she came to stand in front of me. I’d only found out ab

Chapter: Chapter 84CarlyI opened my eyes to the bright room. It was yet another day of our honeymoon. And I couldn't wait for it to be over. I sat up on the bed. Letting everything settle in. My eyes went over the bottle of drugs which I had taken from Arthur last night. I’d be scared thinking that I lost it, but then, getting down to get my phone, I suddenly saw Arthur entering with it in his hand. My heart had picnic, but then I remembered that I’d turned the drugs into my vitamin bottle after taking it from my mansion. I never knew he was a scary cat. Guess you can never trust the muscles and height. And the food has been good. Surprisingly so. Mother’s food was the only one I could taste fully, but now he has added to it. Evelyn has said it was because of my past with him. And I believed it, with how my body responded to his touch last night. If he had gone further, I’d turned to a needy mess. My core twitched. I groaned closing my thighs. I needed not think of such in the morning. Gettin

Chapter: Chapter 83 ArthurShe had reluctantly sat down. She must have caught on earlier that I won’t be freeing her if she doesn't. I placed the two bowls of rice and soup with perfect vegetables on the table, in front of her. Carly may want to deny it, but her body and her eyes won’t stop following me around. Dropping the glass of water on the table. I turned, leaving for my room, but I knew my dear Carly's gaze was fixed on me. She would think I was upset, but hell no. Though my heart twisted knowing she was touched, but from whatever’s word, it wasn't successful. His stupid ass even promised to do better, I’d cut off his dick before he does that. He was going to replace me? I scoffed. Remembering the bullshit he uttered out of his mouth. Yes, he was attractive, but he wasn't Carly’s type. He wasn't man enough. I'm the only one good and better for her. I entered my room. Taking off my clothes, then entered the shower, bathing off his presence from my body. I wondered if Carly was eating. I wo
