ETHAN'S POV

“Fuck” I groan, biting my lips as if it will take away the pain I have in my fingers for knocking them against the steel table while trying to knock the blaring alarm off it.

Best way to start a day 101:

Get an alarm to disturb you the moment you start to enjoy your sleep, then while trying to shut the asshole of an alarm off bang your hand against the table instead.

“Stupid alarm” I mutter to myself while flinging it out the window.

Running a hand across my hair, my fingers tap furiously on the keys of my PC.

A sigh or relief escape my lips as today's schedule finally pop up on the screen.

After a quick but soothing morning bath, I throw on a grey pants and white pants I have no idea how it got into my closet.

“Good morning sir.” Rosalia bow slightly as we almost colode into each other at the hallway.

I wave my hand, dismissing her while my head authomatically snap to the right..

The door to the room is slightly open.

Don't go , Ethan.

Mind your damn business.

My hands curled into fist as I keep trying to control my curiosity but my legs won't listen.

I walk towards the door and peep in, there is no soul in it and as expected that sparks my curiosity even more.

I know I shouldn't be here but it's my damned house, right?

I push the door open and step in , immediately the heavy smell of strawberry fill my nostrils ,what the helly?

I'm also greeted by pink shrimps hanging all over the ceilings, pink wallpapers of some cartoon character girl with blonde is scattered here and there all over the wall.

A bedside table is sitting beside the wall with perfumes and half eaten snacks.

Then my eyes finally fall on the bed, as expected, its looking more like a bath of pink duvets and plushies.

I'm about turning when something catch my attention.

The duvets fucking move!

You must be hallucinating.

I tell myself but the duvet move again.

Did she sneak in a pet into my house?

The fact that she's my wife doesn't mean she can go against my rules!

With raised eyebrows, I walk towards the bed and pull the duvet up slowly and my jaw drop.

It's frickin Sophia!

Hee eyes fly open and at the moment I wish I had just mind my own damn business earlier.

“What the helly? What are you doing here” she ask, her eyes fluttering like a little birdie.

“Nothing…just doing some inspections…” I say, running my hand across my hair.

“Inspections? Thought you wanted us to mind owur businesses” she mocks.

“Yes, I did but it's my damn house, I gotta do—”

“I've heard you, you can leave” she cut in dryly with her back leaning against the board like a queen.

Who do she thinks she is?

“Hey, you don't order me around—”

“You don't want to break your own rules, inspector…inspection over, bye bye. Well you might wanna stay to enjoy my cute morning face” she Stick out her face.

Who told her she's cute?

That person must be high!

Sophia looks exactly like Baba Yaga.

Rolling my eyes,I walk out of the room ..

My stupid mind won't stop blaming me throughout my jog..

****************

“Good morning, Mr Blackwood. Johnson and brothers cooperation are ready to partner with us.” My Secretary, Lila sat as she collect my suitcase from the bodyguard behind me.

“I will attend to them later in the day, prepare those paoerworks and emails as well.”

****

“The team are waiting for you , Sir”

“Arrrgh!!” I groaned at my secretary's second email.

Send another email and you're fired.

Now I understand why father wanted me to be responsible before taking on the company.

It's mentally exhausting.

My fingers are literally aching from non stop replying of emails, sending and approving contracts deals.

And by the time I am done, my tie is already at the back of my neck.

The meeting is a fast one, whuvh I'm so grateful for.

******

“Aren't you going to pick yoir dad's call, common Ethan.” Vanessa whined.

“God…will you mind your business now?” I hand the phone over to my guard instead, “tell him I'm busy.”

I should have headed home from office but why go home when I can have this heavenly restaurant to myself, also with my personal bitch?

I can feel my dick getting hard as her ass rubbed over them in a lap dance—something she is no doubt so good at.

Our lips lock together for a while before the door fly open and I need no one to tell me who it is.

He is standing at the door, looking like he just escape from a wild animal cage.

“Oh hi..Theo.” Vanessa throw him a smile and we all exchange pleasantries.

“Nessa, go wait for me in the car.” Vanessa's face twisted like she is going to cry but who cares? Her ass jump behind her as she march out like a baby.

“Seriously Ethan?” Theo starts, looking at me as of I had committed the world's horrible offense.

“What now?”

“What do you think you're doing? You're fucking married!”

“Oh…so what do you expect me to do? Turn myself into a loyal faithful hubby because of who? And again remember I never wanted the marriage? I fuck whoever I want.” I roll my eyes.

“Yes, it's no news that you don't want this but you just have to adjust. Accept your fate, embrace it…just fake it till it becomes real.”

“Now you sound like a 90 year old grandma giving a do not steal lesson to her grandchildren.” I chuckle.

“I ain't laughing here, Ethan.”

“But you're funny!” I can't hold the laughter in my belly.

“Tell me what do you gain from fucking sluts every now and then?” he ask sounding like a professional therapist

“Talking as if you are not the one who introduced me into it.”

“Do you know how she's feeling about all this…seeing her man with different ladies?”

“And who cares about her damn feelings? To hell with them!”

“Seriously?” He ask and I swear, I'm beginning to get annoyed.

“You wanna hear something else? I bring them sluts to my house and fuck them right in her presence…whatchu wanna do?”

“Damnit! he's your wife Ethan, even if she's forced on you, you still have to show some respect!”

“No…I'm dome with this discussion…I don't care about Sophia, I don't care whether she cries or laugh. Even if I gave the chance, I will kill her. Dad won't force me to be with a dead body, right?” I ask but Theo just stare at me as if I have grown a horn on my forehead.

“We will talk later, best friend. We don't wanna fight over someone irrelevant. Vanessa's waiting.” I say, take a last gulo from the win in the cup and exit the room.

I'm not leaving to see Vanessa, infact I called my other driver to meet me up at the bazj if the restaurant.

All thanks to Theo,I've lost my urge to fuck any hole.

I have to just be alone or I will lost control on my anger and I don't want a fight with Theo.

I don't want us fighting over someone that unimportant.

We can fight over everything else but not Sophia.
