I couldn't lean into the couch I was seated on, cause I couldn't trust it. What if there was a scorpion in it? It was made of an old, soft cotton, looking quite wretched. Rae's mom grinned at me, sitting on the couch opposite me. I knew she was trying to observe whether or not I was comfortable, so I was trying as much as possible to seem fine.
"Do you mind drinking tea?" she asked.
I shook my head. "No, no. I'm fine. I'm okay."
"Oh, okay." She grinned even more.
Leaning my elbows on my knees, I intertwined my fingers in each other, scrolling my eyes around the room, literally scrutinizing the place. To me, this place seemed like a container, not a house. Fine, it was neat, the interi

The more we stood here, the louder the crowd screamed, and the crazier they acted. One thing I knew for sure was, they weren't going to stop their madness. If we stepped back in, when we eventually came out, they would still attempt to attack us. We had to leave here, no matter what. Yes, this was awkward. But, the thing was, Tanya and I had a lot of fans. Tanya was a social media freak, so she always made me post our nice moments on my social media account. A lot of people liked seeing us as a couple. But, how could they be this crazy for us? Or, Tanya had hired some thugs to attack Rae? Because, this seemed too stupid to be true. I glimpsed at Rae again, feeling bad that she had to experience this, though she was the innocent one. Not knowing what to do, I grabbed her, and pulled her into my embrace, so none of those stup
Finally, the day was here. The day I was getting married. The day this matrimony would become finalized. It felt so unreal."It's so sad that I wouldn't be able to come over," my elder brother, Keith, said over the phone.I smiled. "It's not a problem, really. After all, our aunt and cousins are here with me. The point is, I've got a family member around.""Yeah, true. Anyway, I'll make sure to visit you once I can. It's been a year since we saw each other.""No problem.""Bye for now. Wishing you a happy married life.""Thanks." I hung up the call.
I heard the shuttling sounds of cameras. There was really no doubt that some of the guests or maybe some reporters were recording all that was going on.Furious to the ultimate point, I grabbed her arm, and pushed her off me. She almost rolled down the altar, but fortunately for her, she was able to control her movement. Well, her butt knocked against the floor, and she groaned. Not in this life, not in my next life, would I have expected Tanya to turn out this dangerous. I wouldn't have ever thought I would do something this violent to her.I beckoned at my men to come close, and get rid of her. But, before they could reach us, she stood up. She walked to Rae, grabbed her arm like a maniac, and in a blink of an eye, she hit Rae. This was too much to handle.
The stench of alcohol from my clothes made me scrunch my nose. I kind of had a lot to drink last night, even much more than I had expected. Well, getting drunk brushed off the killing emotions in my head. Partially.Opening the door of my room, I stepped in. I glanced at my bed, and for some reason, I shook my head. She was still here. I knew she was going to be here forever, but I just wanted her to leave already. There was nothing good that could come out of this marriage. She was just here for the sake of nothing.She yawned out loud, rolling on the bed like a ball on a field. Swiftly, like a maniac, she gasped, and sat straight. Again, I shook my head, and just walked toward the wardrobe. I grabbed a few shirts, searching for a good cloth to wear for the day.
She didn't listen to me. This got me so frustrated, because it had been long since I had met someone as annoying as her. She towed the duvet to hips, pulling it off me completely. The scowls didn't resist my facial expression, my fingers locking in a hard fist."You know I can throw you off this bed?" I threatened.She shrugged. The duvet settled on her chest, and she just shifted to the other side of the bed. She dunked into the soft foam, let out a sigh, and switched off the bedside lamp on the nightstand.Okay, first, staying on the bed with her wasn't a good idea. What if something had to happen between us? And, second, since she had the guts to disagree with me, I would let her know that that wasn't something she should do very often.
This was it. In less than thirty minutes, Susan would be in this place. In a really long time, I hadn't been this fearful for anyone. Because I knew how terrible she could turn out to be, I had made sure the security around me was solid enough to protect me. I had asked four of my men to stay with Pablo and Drake behind the door of my office, and of course, Jason was here with me.With widened eyes, he leaned into his seat, placing his hands on the table in front of me. "Where's Antonio? Did you really ask him to spy on Susan?"I nodded indifferently. "Who else can do that job? You?""Yeah, right." He chuckled. "But, dude, come on, she's only a person. She's just like one of the typical chics out there. You're acting like you're gonna encounter God."&nbs
I was trying to be nice. After having issues with Tanya, I had decided to turn back to my old self. But, for some reason, I still wanted to give life a chance. However, if this woman kept on nagging this way, she would push me to the edge of my irk."Okay, why couldn't you go out there to visit her?" I dropped my hands on my waist, glaring even harder.She squeezed her face like a frustrated old woman, and huffed. "Told you I don't wanna leave the mansion after that moronic chic embarrassed me at our wedding. She had that posted on her social media. She ruined my reputation.""Reputation?" I scoffed. "Who're you? What's your background? I know nothing about those. Getting married to you was only because my aunt told me you're a good girl, and your family is great. So,
My night had never been as stressful as last night. I made sure to work even more, and had only slept for like three hours. My eyes caught the small glass mirror on my table, and lazily, I grabbed it. As expected, dark lines were around my eyes. My hair strands were tousled like a forest, begging for a brush to pass through them. I was so, so exhausted. Standing up, heading to the kitchen to get something to drink, I sighed out hard, and put my hands in the pocket of my sweatpants. Last night, I had taken a shower to have a good sleep, but then, I felt the urge to leave the room and come down here. I didn't trust myself around Rae, being honest. She was one bunch of a hot pie. I could end up persuading her to let me touch her, and it wasn't something I really wanted. The loud chatter and laughter from the kitchen made
