“How is she so poor at everything?”

Edmond’s first words concerning me this week.

At least in my presence, but not to me.

His briefcase was in Kael’s hand and a man who I don’t know was hovering next to him, his face carrying a hint of a smile, both Edmond and Kael lacked.

Even though his eyes wouldn’t reach me, his words travelled far to where I was.

I guess Kael must have briefed him.

I walk towards Edmond, my feet stopping short in front of him.

He glances at me from the corner of hi

  • Cast Away By My Family; I Married The Ruthless Tycoon    If You Are In The Forest

    If I had a hole I could crawl into right now, I will not even hesitate one bit. I draw the belt of the robe tighter as if it could melt into my body.“Don’t.” she says softly.Her hand reach out to my back and I stare at her for a while, wondering if this is what it feels like to have someone that cares.Absoutely not.I shouldn’t fall for this. Not only is she Edmond’s staff but she was also sent by Edmond. She is going to go tell Edmond everything she saw. I bet you.I throw her hand away and step back.She glances at me with confused eyes.“You were mistaken.” I say.“There’s no bruise on my back. I would know since it’s my body.”“As for the help you want to render, I will have to stop you there.” I point to my dresser covered in gauze, methylated spirit, cotton wool, antiseptic wipes and bandages scattered all over it.Her eyes glances over it.“You seem well prepared.” She says to me.I shrug, “You never know when you might need such things. Along with food, medications should

  • Cast Away By My Family; I Married The Ruthless Tycoon    Does He Know?

    “What ------?” “What do you mean?” I stutter.Does Edmond Cozen know?Know that I’m not the wife he asked to marry?Know that he was deceived?Is that why he has a Knife next to him?!!!!Am I going to die today?!In a Kitchen? What an irony.Edmond smirks, leaning back.“I’m going to ask you that question every time I see you until I figure out who you are.”I exhale deeply.Good. He hasn’t figured it out yet.I’ve got time to warn mum and dad that Edmond is getting suspicious, as well as disappearing myself. Good thing he gave me the code today.I need to run away as soon as I can.It would be stupid to wait for Edmond Cozen to find out that he was deceived while staying in his house and eating his food.Edmond taps the table before standing up.He slides the knife to me.“Ah!” I scream.He squeezes his face, pressing a hand to his ear, “What the fuck was that for, Whittaker?” “No, ... nothing.” I hide my shaky hands in between my thighs.Who the heck slides a knife sharply at som

What an irony.Edmond smirks, leaning back.“I’m going to ask you that question every time I see you until I figure out who you are.”I exhale deeply, the breath coming out of my lips shakily.Good.

    “How is she so poor at everything?” Edmond’s first words concerning me this week. At least in my presence, but not to me. His briefcase was in Kael’s hand and a man who I don’t know was hovering next to him, his face carrying a hint of a smile, both Edmond and Kael lacked. Even though his eyes wouldn’t reach me, his words travelled far to where I was. I guess Kael must have briefed him. I walk towards Edmond, my feet stopping short in front of him. He glances at me from the corner of his eye. If he notices the large bruise that I’m sporting on face, he doesn’t say anything. “What do you want?” He pauses at the bottom of the stairs. “Err…” Suddenly, all my bravado flies out of the window. Where the heck is courage when I need it?! After acting like I can actually say something to Edmond about Priscilla, here I am stuttering like I’ve got hot coals on my tongue. It is embarrassing, really. “The — the code. I wanted to tell you thank you for it.” I say, avoiding the three

  • Cast Away By My Family; I Married The Ruthless Tycoon    TIME TO LOSE AN EYE PERMANENTLY

    The woman running this particular horror show introduces herself as Priscilla, an image consultant with a clipboard and the energy of someone who has never once in her life laughed at a joke that wasn't hers. "You supposedly are supposed to have a very specific public persona." Priscilla begins, flipping open a folder thick enough to double as a doorstop. "Outgoing with the kind of laugh that makes men feel important. Do you fake the persona outside?" She frowns at me. Great. So basically the opposite of everything I actually am. I don’t care about making men important. Whosoever that is actually important does not need my laugh to make them feel better about themselves but Priscilla and Racquel apparently seem to disagree. This is the point where I start to feel like Edmond got married because he wants a woman to seduce his clients for him? I really can’t tell what Edmond Cozen would have going on in his mind but this is the only thing Racquel can do effortlessly. "Precisely

  • Cast Away By My Family; I Married The Ruthless Tycoon    I LIKE TO WATCH PEOPLE PANIC

    Kael grins, wrapping his beefy arms around his chest.He leans on the wall, watching me run around the room, throwing everything into the closet to look at least a little presentable for the team."I like watching people panic in real time."My feet pause for a second, before my hands continue movement.Great.My husband hired a bodyguard with a sense of humor darker than his tattoo sleeves.“Birds of a feather flock together.” I murmur.“What was that?” Kael asks.“Nothing!” I yell.I’m not about to die before I can see Tom and explain to him what nonsense my parents got me into.And frankly, if he has any ideas to help me out.He really is my last chance and there’s nothing like being shameless in front of those who love you, right?I’m really grasping at the edge of straws now.I really hope I can find Tom.I shove the card into the lower drawer of my like it's contraband, because frankly, I might be doomed if I lose it.I head downstairs to meet the small army currently occupying
