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
Schuyler's P. O. V.'Where are we?' I tried to roam my eyes around me, but I couldn't guess where we really were. I remember that we're in a secluded area and that the gates were heavily guarded, but I still can't make a guess what place this is.I tried to stand up to take a walk around, but just as I did, the guards around me suddenly became alert. I knew that wherever I go now, they would be there to follow me. Ezekiel had made sure to have me guarded before he left with Hunter.I sighed before sitting back down. I feel so uncomfortable being around these men that I was never familiar with. And on top of that, they even looked like criminals to me.When the door finally opened after an hour, I first saw Hunter before Ezekiel entered the room. His face was too dark and can give anyone the impression that he's willing to kill any time he wants."Ezekiel.." I stood up and waited for him to reach me. "Are you done here?"He threw a quick glance to everyone who was watching him and just
Schuyler's P. O. V.Ezekiel looked away from me and I had to sigh deeply before slightly pushing him away. He didn't do anything and just let me get away from him.I picked up the paper bag I brought with me. Coming here was a mistake. I shouldn't have run to him after what happened. Why did I even do that?I could feel my tears forming in my eyes when Ezekiel was about to face me and I immediately turned around so he could not see me."I-I'll go back to your house now," I bit my lip after saying that.How foolish of me to think that Ezekiel is someone I can run to and bring comfort to me. I was wrong! He only wanted me for himself just so he could have an heir. That's probably the reason why he was mad at Georgi. Of course, we have a contract and he clearly wouldn't want to care for someone's child.I went to the door without looking back at him and after I got out of the room, I saw Hunter there, standing and just waiting for us. My face darkened after seeing him, but Hunter doesn't
Schuyler's P. O. V.Ezekiel stepped on the break of the car after turning to a vacant way. He pulled something out from his back, before checking on it. My eyes widened in shock and my lips slightly parted while watching him check on his gun.I gulped before Ezekiel averted his eyes on me. He looked too serious and his eyes were screaming danger, but despite that, I couldn't feel any fear for him, but rather, I felt worried about what he might do next.I was about to ask him when I covered my head in shock after hearing a gunshot from the backseats window."F*ck!" I heard Ezekiel hissed in anger before I felt him pulling my arms and guiding me to look at him. "Schuyler!" He angrily called my name. And when I eyed him back with tears cascading down on my face, he was taken aback before he clenched his jaw and looked away from me. I couldn't say anything when Ezekiel sighed deeply before his hand cupped my face and he wiped my tears."Stay here, I'll take care of everything." He whispe
