Flashback
Xander completed his work soon than he intended just so he could go back home early.
He was worrying for his Triantáfyllo.
What she must be doing right now? Is she sleeping?
He reached the big black gates of his mansion.
He always dreaded coming home before as no one used to be there for him in that big house, no one waiting but ....she was there now.
His Triantáfyllo.
The lights were all off. Seeing his car, guards opened the gate.
Entering inside, he immediately went to his room. Thinking after freshening up, he'll go up check upon his wife.
It was strange. The lights in his room are on.

SCARLETT'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________"You are my wife." He grunted out."Noo...not to you." I still pressed.Putting his hands on my shoulder, he sighed,"Triantáfyllo.... don't do this now. You are getting late for College. Come I'll drop you off."I looked at the time.Yeah, I'm late. Five minutes late and it's gonna take another fifteen minutes to reach College.It's obvious, I'm gonna miss my first class now which doesn't bother me much as the first is Economics and I really don't like it much.I nodded my head and we both walked out.I waited for him at the entrance.He brought his car from the garage at the back.I've never seen that garage. Well, I've never been in the back side of the mansion.I've never fully explored this place. I was so much busy in assignments and pr
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________"Nice to see you again, Maria." The other lady greeted mockingly."What. Do. You. Want. Karla?" Maria enunciated coldly glaring at the other lady...aka Karla."Oh me? What could I want?" Karla laughed evilly.She flipped a red card with golden writings on the outside and threw it on the small table besides her."An invitation..to my new year party. I'm sure you would love it.""I'm not coming." Maria chipped out."Ohh no.. you'll come when your beloved Xander will come..."Karla was cut off by Maria."Xander will also not come.""But he will. Because it's not just a New year party but also a get together for all the prominent businessmen around. The new deal he did with that Mr. Lee, yes, Mr. Lee will also be there and Xander will have to come." Kar
SCARLETT'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________“WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?”He yelled out clutching his fists tightly.I was scared by this.I never saw him like this.But nonetheless I answered him.“It’s ...” I stared meekly but then it hit me there’s no reason for him to be angry.I’m also living here and I have every right to do whatever I want with the house.“What do you think it is? Can’t you see, Christmas decorations are these.” I spoke tauntingly moving my hands around the house.Oh wow! That rhymed....This is not the time to think how good you rhyme.My subconscious mocked me.But what you said also rhymed.Ohh no.no..this is definitely not the time to get lost in my head.Looking at him,
Xander's povWe came back early from the church.But I was still irritated at the way my stupid cousin tried to flirt with my wife.And she evensmiledat him.How could she?"Thank you." An angelic voice spoke beside me.We were at home now. I was doing my work in the living room.I didn't ask her again to remove all these decorations because I realized I may have over reacted.She doesn't know anything about me, my past.And I like how she feels free to do anything here. She regards it as her home. And that makes me happy.Our home.And I'm going to introduce to the world that she's my wife.This new year. After the party, I'll do that and would ask her for a new chance to this marriage.I'll remember what Badima said today.FlashbackTriantáfyllo was in her room upstairs getting changed.
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________"That lipstick stain was not of any other woman. It was of my wife.""What!"Scarlett was confused."What do you mean?" She asked him."The night of your reception party, Xander was in his office because of some emergency and I was out of the States in Australia for some business purpose. Beth, my wife couldn't reach me so she called Xander. She had a really severe pain in her stomach and when Xander reached, he picked her up to get her to the hospital. At that time, her lipstick mark accidentally got on his shirt. I'm really sorry for the being the reason of your misunderstanding, you guys fought because of a stupid thing..... I'm really sorry to ruin your wedding night and..."Before he could something more, she gushed him and spoke."How is your wife now? I mean she got to t
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________Xander didn't answer her for a moment.Scar got worried by this.She feared she might have asked something stupid, something which might make him suspicious of her.Might make him doubt her.She looked down and started eating her pancake silently when he spoke the word that both made her heart warm but her mind tense."No." His answer was a "no."This gave her a strange happiness. She felt good on knowing he won't divorce her but she wasn't able to quite identify the reason behind her being happy for this.She should feel frustrated instead for he won't divorce her but she's feeling happiness over that.It confused her to the core.Her own feelings were playing with her."But why?" She dared to ask him this.His eyes got hard at her question.
THIRD PERSON'S POV______________________________________________________________________________________Kat was happy to finally see her best friend be happy in her marriage life.In the one month, Xander has been away, Scar never admitted but she was upset by his disappearance. Yeah, she was mad but she never let it show to her friends.And now when he's back, Kat could see the glow and happiness on her best friend's face and she prayed it would remain like this only.Scarlett on the other hand was blushing hard. She was so embarrassed at being seen by her best friend like this. Xander groaned internally for he was so close to taste her lips, he was dying to kiss those soft lips of hers.On noticing Scar wasn't ready yet, Kat asked,"Scar, hurry up babe. We gotta leave soon."Scarlett quickly nodded and went upstairs saying,"I'll get changed."Xander was confused b
Scarlett's pov"I'm hungry."He looked at me for a moment before I saw his lips curving up into a beautiful smile which soon was followed by a full blown laughter.His deep laugh was so melodious. I was sure it was the sound I want to hear everyday.I didn't realize I was staring at him until his words caught my attention."My Triantáfyllo is hungry. Tell me what should I make?" He asked looking at me with a small smile on his face.And all I could utter was,"Oh my god!"His brows furrowed."Oh my god!" I repeated."I know almost every dish but I'm not sure if that's a dish, Triantáfyllo." He hesitantly said.I finally came to my senses."Oh my god! I heard you laugh."His face expression immediately changed. He stood still and stoic."Oh no. Why did you stop laughing? Your laugh is beautiful. You should laugh more." I said to him but quickly added,"Wait , no. You shouldn't laugh more because if you were in a meeting and you start laughing, now that won't look good, right?"He nodde
