Savannah's P. O. V.Under a deep sleep, I felt when someone moved beside me so I unwillingly woke up and quietly roamed my eyes around.In front of the closed veranda, Ezekiel was already standing there while talking to someone over the phone. His voice was too low and I could barely hear him despite the deafening silence around us.I quietly sat down on the bed, thinking that he doesn't know that I am awake now. But then, he turned around and our eyes locked to each other. He said something more to someone he was talking to before he dropped the call and went back to bed.I brushed my eyes a little as Ezekiel sat in front of me."Did I wake you up?" He said in a low voice.I stopped moving when he reached out to tuck my hair behind my ear and I was left staring at him."Was it for work?" I asked as he continued to caress my hair. Ezekiel stopped what he was doing before he looked back at me and released a deep sigh. He doesn't seem to want to answer my question."The call, was it fo
Schuyler's P. O. V."Hunter.." I walked towards him after spotting him making his way to Ezekiel's office. He stopped and waited for me to approach him. "Can I ask you something?"Hunter gave me a calculating look before he slowly nodded. "Anything."I smiled at him, "You're my husband's right hand.""Is that fact not to your liking, Mrs. Riego?" Hunter suddenly asked before I could even finish asking him. His eyes were sporting danger, as if he could end me in a snap if he wouldn't be pleased with my answer to his question.I tried to hide the uneasiness that I suddenly felt with him. Hunter's face never changed, he still looked mercilessly."That's not what I mean.. I was merely wondering why you're here and my husband is not? Aren't you supposed to be always with him?" I couldn't tell where I got the courage to act normal in front of him when all I want now is to disappear from his sight.How is it that Hunter looks cruel to me now, but his boss was the one who managed to put me in
Schuyler's P. O. V.The moon was exceptionally beautiful tonight. I couldn't help, but keep on praising it. Or is it because I was merely trying to divert my mind with the fact that I am meeting my husband's father for the first time tonight and I feel so fr*making me nervous right now.I released a deep sigh and wandered around even more. Anytime now, he'll be back home and we'll have to dine together. His wife left me here to fetch Marisse somewhere, not caring if I'll be all alone here with the maids. They all feel weird, honestly. They watch me everytime they have the chance, as if I am someone they should always be wary of.It was a good thing that they decided to leave me after some time and I had the chance to go to this backyard.There's a huge barn on the left side and a tree on the right. Although I feel curious what's inside the barn, I don't think I am allowed to go in there, so instead, I went to the tree, but the moment I did, I saw a track around it, something I didn't
Schuyler's P. O. V.The sunlight was hitting my eyes when I woke up. I could tell that it's already nearly afternoon because it was hurting my skin. I looked around me, but found no one.I don't even know where I am!'What happened to me?' I tried to sit on the bed, but my whole body was shaking so I instantly fell back on the bed. 'Where am I?'I tried to recall what I last remember, but all I knew was the fact that Ezekiel's mother hurt me after informing me that we'll have dinner with her husband!Oh, no.. The dinner! F*ck!Despite my trembling body, I quickly forced myself to stand up, until I ended up falling on the ground."Agh!" I thinned my lips after hitting the tiled floor. "Sh*t.."My face retorted as I felt the pain in my knees before I tried to get up again and sat on the edge of the bed. It took me a moment before I finally regained some strength to stand and made my way out of this bedroom that I was never familiar with!The maid gazed at me with shock in her eyes, she
Schuyler's P. O. V."Dad, let my wife eat first." Ezekiel said in an authoritative voice.His father glanced at him, matching the way he looks before turning back to me. Watching them together, I can say that their resemblance can never be questioned. They look exactly the same, just that Ezekiel has a younger feature and has his mothers eyes.Midnight blue eyes. It looks terrifyingly cold and cruel whenever he would lay his eyes on me, but dangerously menacing as he faces everyone. Or maybe, that's just really how I view it after everything he did for me."Schuyler.." His father called, snapping me back to reality. "What do you know about my son?""Dad.." There was a dangerous threat in my husband's voice, like his father just awakened something he shouldn't have inside him.But.. What do I know about my husband? I turned to Ezekiel and carefully looked into his eyes before answering to his father."He's my husband, we're married.." His emotionless face never changed as he listened
Schuyler’s P. O. V.I shut my mouth after hearing him say that, but while we were on our way, I couldn’t control myself anymore. I turn to face him again with a determined look in my eyes. Ezekiel didn’t even bother looking at me, he was focused on driving.“Can’t I just come with you?” I was hoping that he’d agree and just bring me along with him, but when his sharp eyes met mine, I knew that he wouldn’t bringing me along. “Ezekiel, please…”He clenched his jaw and I even saw when his hold tightened on the steering wheel. “No.” He said with finality in his voice.“Why not?” I asked while crossing my arms in my chest. “Can’t I know anything about your job—”“Not now!” He quickly cut me off before parking the car in front of the house. Hunter was there with a man beside him. Ezekiel got out of the car before opening it for me. I didn’t want to move. I really wanted to come with him, but Ezekiel was also determined not to bring me with him.He pulled me out of the car before closing t
Schuyler's P. O. V.After that call with Ezekiel, I had to patiently wait for him to come home. He didn't say anything to me and just dropped the call, as if he wasn't talking to his wife! Anne, on the other hand, was strangely watching my every movement. I don't know what got into her, but after hearing my conversation with Ezekiel, Anne's mood changed, but I can't even bring myself to care much for her.I sighed and started pacing back and forth again. Ezekiel had been taking so long. It's near midnight and he still hasn't come back. I know that he owns a huge business, but what are his employees doing for him to stay until this late hour just to finish the job?I was about to ask Anne to call my husband when we heard a car pulling over in front of the house. I quickly gathered my strength and hurried to the door. And when I opened it, I was beyond surprised after seeing Ezekiel covered with… blood? No, that was probably just paint!How could there be blood on him, right? He was st
Schuyler's P. O. V.Ever since I started wondering about Ezekiel's job, I slowly noticed how he was trying to avoid letting me know what his real job was. At some point, I felt really offended by what he was trying to do, but then, I realized that maybe he wasn't just willing to let me know about everything yet.. Or I'm really not deserving to know a single detail about his job?"Mrs. Riego, we're here," Hunter called me after parking the car in front of a restaurant.I glanced outside and saw Georgi standing there while holding a paper bag. He was looking around him, probably searching for me in the crowds.I opened the door and was about to go out when Hunter spoke to me."Should I come with you?" He suddenly asked, and when I turned to face him, I found him glancing at Georgi too. "Do whatever your boss says, Hunter." I blatantly said before getting out.I didn't look behind me or check if he followed and just went straight to Georgi. His face brightened after seeing me."Hey!" He
