Chapter 6Maybelline Walter POV"Did I keep you waiting?" Lily asked as she pulled over in front of the gate where I had been waiting for her for the past five minutes."Not really. Just five minutes of wait," I replied to her as I hopped in the front seat of the white jeep she brought."So, how is your husband?" She asked and stressed the 'husband' probably to tease me, but I glared hard at her, and she shrugged."Did I say something wrong? Mr. Miles is your husband now, and...""Whatever!" I rolled my eyes and fastened the seatbelt. "Are we going or not?""Alright, my lady. I'm on it," She rolled her eyes as she started the ignition and the ride began. I had no idea where she was taking me, but I hoped for it to be full of fun. That was the only thing I needed right now."Why did you take the day off work?" I asked out of the blue moon, and she glanced at me."Nothing. I just needed some time alone," she shrugged, and I nodded. She has been working hard and she really deserved that.
Maybelline Walter POV"Who is she, babe?" The young blonde-haired lady who looked the same age as me, asked as she looked at me disgustingly."Babe... That's May. My ex-girlfriend that I told you about,""The one that cheated on you?" My eyes narrowed when the lady said that and glared at me with pure disgust, and I scoffed unbelievably. Me? Cheated?"Is that what you told her? That I cheated on you?" I was going to cry out of pain before, but no way I was going to look pathetic in front of them, and even though I felt hurt inside, I had to brace myself up."Are you stalking me? Did you trace me here so you can beg me to take you back like you've been doing? I told you that I'm not interested, so why don't you leave me the hell alone?" He fired at me, and I was left dumbfounded. I wanted to defend myself, but I was even too shocked to do that, so I just stared back at him wordlessly."You didn't have to feed her with such lies so you can date her, anyway. It's very obvious you are try
Maybelline Walter POVI yelped and touched my bandaged head, but the pain was so much that I could barely keep my eyes open. The ceiling was blurry at first when I tried to open my eyes, and seconds later, I saw a familiar figure towering over me. It was Miles."Are you ok?" I heard his deep voice, and I groaned as I touched my head again and winced painfully."My head... It hurts," I groaned painfully as I rubbed my fingers on my forehead, but I felt him hold my hand."You have an injury there. It'll hurt if you keep rubbing it like that. I'll call the doctor to come and attend to you," He stated, and I sighed briefly. This time, my vision was finally clear and I realized that I was in my room. Wasn't I supposed to be in the hospital?"Where am I?" I mumbled as I finally managed to sit up on the bed even though he tried to stop me."You are in your room. How are you feeling now?" He asked, his eyes piercing at me with concern and worries written all over him, and I briefly sighed."I
Maybelline Walter POV"How are you feeling, sister-in-law?" The Miguel guy smiled at me, and I slowly nodded. Lily was busy gushing over him and it wasn't unexpected because she had always had a thing for cute guys."I'm much better now, thank you," I replied to him, and he nodded with a smile lingering on his face. "I'm sorry I came quite late yesterday," He apologized, and even though I had many questions to ask him, I nodded instead."Thanks for saving me," "It's my job to protect you as my brother's wife," He smiled at me, and I slowly nodded.The door opened and Miles walked in with his hands tucked inside his pockets."Adelie is making the food now. It'll be ready in a while," Miles said to me as he came to sit beside me on the bed after Lily quickly stood up. I looked over to Lily and gave her the 'Are you seeing what I've been telling you' look, but the stupid girl just shrugged."I will excuse you two then..." Lily said then came to hug me tightly."I'm sorry, but I need to
Maybelline Walter POVMy day was boring as I've been alone at home. Miles got a call from the company and he was yet to come back after he left in the morning.It was a beautiful evening and I had just finished having a cold shower when I came back into my room and found my phone ringing."Who is it?" I mumbled as I walked over to the bed where I left the phone earlier, and I checked to see the caller was my sweetheart, Lily."Hey, darling," I slumped on the bed excitedly. "I've been calling you all day but you never answered any of my calls," I whined."I'm sorry. I had to rush to the hospital after Mr. Miguel dropped me off earlier. There was an emergency at the hospital," "Oh... Hope it's settled now?" I asked her."Not really. The patient needed surgery, but the surgeon was not around, so she was transferred to another hospital," She replied to me, and I nodded."How is your husband?" She asked and snickered."We are just contracted couples...""He is the father of your baby, yo
Chapter 11Miles POV "I can't believe you made me do your dirty job on my first day here. I've been away for six years, is this how you are supposed to welcome me?" Miguel complained to me as I pulled over in front of the warehouse, and I rolled my eyes."Stop complaining," I replied to him casually as I pushed the car door open and alighted from the car. He did the same thing.Earlier today, I was in the office when I saw the video of someone being bullied online and I lost it the moment I realized that the person was May. My office was far from the park and since my brother said he was at the airport close to the park, I had to send him May's picture and the location so he could go take care of things there."Ugh! You are so annoying," He whined as he walked behind me. I tucked my hands inside my pockets as I strode toward the entrance of the warehouse, and the dark place welcomed us as soon as we walked inside."Where is he?" I turned to Miguel and asked once we were standing insi
Maybelline Walter POVI held my phone tightly contemplating on whether I should or not call Miles. Why was I worried about him, I had no idea. "It's normal to be worried. How will you get your balance if he doesn't come home?" I said to myself as I went to check the window again to see if he had already come in since I could see the parking lot from my window, but his car was not yet at the parking lot."Why is he taking so long?" I mumbled and finally dialled his number."Hey, wife," His deep voice sounded from the other end, and my heart missed a beat. I suddenly lost my voice and my breath hitched for a moment as my heart pumped hard."Are you there? May?" His voice sounded again and I pursed my lips and took a deep breath."Hmm. Sorry, I didn't intend to call you. I thought I dialed Lily's number," I rushed my words and quickly hung up."Fuck! What was that?" I breathed out and cursed as I held my chest. "You must've lost it for a moment, May. How could you have done that?" I wh
Maybelline Walter POVIt was the weekend and since I had nothing to do, I was going to sleep my ass off on the bed almost all day, but my plan was soon sabotaged by the knock on the door, forcing me to wake up."Who is there?" I groaned tiredly as I sat up on the bed."Good morning, ma'am. It's me, Adelie. Boss asked you to meet him in the gym," I heard Adelie's voice from outside and I yawned tiredly."Alright, I'll be there," I replied to her lazily and I heard her receding footsteps which I already assumed she was gone. I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes, and just like that, I was unconscious of where I was.I had no idea how long I'd been asleep until I heard a faint voice."Wife... Wake up," I was so engrossed in the sleep that I just tossed on the bed sleepily."I'm coming," I whined with my eyes closed."We need to go to the gym," I heard Miles's gentle voice again, and this time, I was forced to wake up. My jaw dropped when I opened my eyes and found him towering over me
