Aaron’s POV

"What the fuck are you doing here’" she asked me angrily, looking at me in disbelief.

‘This was the only room available’ I said tiredly as i was just waking up. Her eyes sparked, what I said made her more angry and agitated, if looks could kill I would be 6 foot under the ground now. Thank God it couldn’t.

‘And what gave you the right to come in and lay on the bed?’ she asked catching me off guard. I felt offended.

‘Excuse me?’ I questioned immediately.

‘You could have laid on the floor or the couch for all I cared’ she said and I scoffed and I immediately left the room and house. I was angry but I couldn’t show my anger, not in front of her.

The thought of her face when she was angry calmed me down a little. Her messy hair and a little drool by the side of her lips. It only made her prettier, her face appeared before me, and I smiled. Even though I was angry at her, I couldn't help but think about how beautiful she was.

I drove to my house to freshen up. After I did that, I made a quick breakfast and headed out. I headed to my go-to cafe that I went to whenever I needed to clear my head. I entered and saw Chloe was already there.

She was my fling, I went to her whenever I needed to have sex, I was a man, and I needed these things. I went ahead to my regular seat and tried to avoid her, but she saw me and headed to where I was seated.

‘Hi Aaron, it’s been a while’ she said as she leaned forward in a seductive manner, normally my cock would have stirred and I would have dragged her off to somewhere quiet and had sex with her, but I couldn’t, all I could think about was Lois.

‘I am married now Chloe’ I said to her, and she just smirked.

‘Being betrothed never stopped you’ she said, and I felt a hint of guilt. She was right. It never stopped me, and I actually felt disgusted with myself right now.

‘I am off to get us coffee, I will be back’ she said as she walked away. I sat in silence and thought of ways to get rid of Chloe. I couldn’t keep her near me again, I would never do anything to hurt Lois, never again.

I felt some pairs of eyes on me and guessed they were Chloe’s. I looked up and saw they were Lois’s. She stared at me intensely, and I stared at her back. It felt like a staring contest.

Her name was called, and she proceeded to get her coffee. I was a little bit disappointed. That was the most interaction I have had with her in a while, without being shut out.

Chloe came back with the coffee, and I felt disgusted.

‘I would leave now honey’ she said and planted a kiss on my lips catching me off guard, I looked over at Lois praying she didn’t see this, but she did and immediately stormed out of the cafe.

I pulled away from Chloe.

‘Don’t you dare try what you just did again’ I said angrily and stormed out. She tried to say something, but I didn’t wait to hear. All I could think about was Lois.

I was already in a tight spot with her, and this just made it worse. I noticed she had already left the cafe and figured she would have gone home, so I immediately went straight home.

I was right. When I got home, her car was packed out front. I entered the house, scared. Yes, I was scared of Lois, she was really scary when angry, I can only imagine now.

I entered the room quietly and noticed she was sitting on the couch. I couldn’t say anything because the atmosphere was so tense, so I just entered the bathroom.

I took a cold bath and felt more relaxed. I came out and saw she was still in the position I left her, her hair in disarray and her eyes showing slight anger. It made her more cute and beautiful. I summoned everything in me to tell her exactly what happened so that she would not misunderstand.

I noticed she wasn’t even looking at my face she was looking straight at my abs, and I smirked.

‘You can stare all you want, I am your husband after all’ I said, and her face immediately became so red, and I chuckled quietly. She was so pretty when she blushed.

‘You wish’ she hissed and proceeded to leave the room, but I hadn’t explained the situation to her.

‘Wait’ I called her out, and she turned back at me.

‘I am sorry about the cafe, she kissed me, I was caught off guard, I used to date her’ I said rushing all I had to say.

‘And why would I care? Like I said, this isn’t a love marriage, so you can do what you want’ she said, and something in me just snapped. I wanted her to stop feeling like this towards me, I wanted her to know I will always protect her, I wanted her to know only she had my heart, I wanted her to know I was head over heels for her.

I slowly moved towards her, with my heart pounding violently against my chest.

‘What are you doing’ she asked as she slowly backed away from me till she hit the wall and I got really close to her.

‘What is should have done since the beginning’ I said as I planted my lips against hers. I kissed her slowly and passionately, and she slowly responded. Everything was going perfectly till it was not, and she broke the kiss and landed a slap on my face before heading out.

    Lois’ POVI stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind me. My heart was pounding, and my hands were shaking. I was so mad I could barely breathe. I couldn’t believe I had let my guard down like that. I let him kiss me. Worse, I kissed him back. I couldn’t even say he forced me because I responded. And that made me even angrier—with him, yes, but more with myself.How could I be so stupid?The drive home took about an hour, but it felt longer. My thoughts were all over the place. I kept replaying the kiss in my mind. His hands, his lips, the way he looked at me. I hated it. I hated that it felt good. I was supposed to be in control. This marriage wasn’t real. It was just a deal. But now I wasn’t sure anymore, and that scared me.I pulled into the driveway and parked. I sat in the car for a minute, trying to calm down. I was hoping to come home, lie in bed, cry maybe, and just be alone for a while.But the second I looked up and saw a very familiar black car in front of the hous

    It had been two days since my mum came to see me. I hadn’t left my bed since then. I felt like I was rotting in it. I barely ate anything. There wasn’t much food in the house, and honestly, I didn’t care enough to fix that. I didn’t go to the family dinner she invited me to. She could go to hell, for all I cared.The worst part was, I hadn’t gone to work. That was a big deal for me. I never missed work. I hardly even used my vacation days, and I always made sure to do my duties as the CEO. But this time, I just couldn’t bring myself to go in. I called my personal assistant and asked her to handle things for now. I told her I’d be back soon.That morning, I woke up to the sound of the doorbell. It was strange because I hadn’t told anyone where I was staying. Only my mum knew, and I doubted she would show up this early just to check on me. Still feeling tired and heavy, I dragged myself to the door.When I opened it, I froze.It was Aaron.He looked really good—almost too good for this

    Aaron’s POV It has been two days since Lois left home. She didn’t come back since then and I felt really bad because I knew it was because of me. Her mum told me where she was yesterday, but I felt it would be intruding to just barge to her place. But here I was standing in front of her house with flowers and a pack of food. I rang her doorbell, and she appeared minutes later. She looked pale and fragile. It looked like she had been crying. I felt bad. The present Lois I know wasn’t the one to cry easily. I felt really bad knowing she cried because of me. She looked at me softly, I could see a hint of relief in her eyes, and her face softened as she saw me. ‘Hi’ I said softly. ‘Hi’ she replied back with an unsure tone of what I was doing in front of her house. ‘I am sorry I came without telling you’ I quickly pitched in so that I would not be misunderstood in any form. These are for you’ I said as I handed the flowers I brought to her. ‘Come in’ she said as she stepped

    I buried myself in work and tried to think less of Aaron. He had been calling me for the past week, but I just ignored all his calls. I couldn’t face him, not after what I saw. The threats with my mum had gone stronger when she realised I still refused to go back home. I did not care.The hatred I had for Aaron in my heart grew stronger and stronger. I mistook his kind gestures, I thought maybe, just maybe, he had a soft spot for me, but I was mistaken. He was Aaron, after all. The guy who watched me got bullied for years with no interference. ‘You have an appointment with the CEO of Jacob constructions’ my assistant said, jolting me out of my thoughts.‘Jacob constructions? The soon to be partner of Carson robotics? I asked surprisingly. Dave Aaron was one of the potential investors Aaron stole from me, I tried everything to get him on board with my company, but it was all to no avail.‘Yes ma’am, he finally viewed our proposal and decided to give you a shot’ she said, and a wide s

    Aaron’s POVI woke up with my head banging and throbbing like crazy. I turned over to the other side, and I saw a slender figure laid right next to me and tried to remember what happened last night. Oh, yeah, Lois took me home from the club. That was all I could remember. So it had to be herI stood up gently from the bed, not wanting to wake her up. I entered the shower and took a well-deserved cold shower. After I was done, I took a towel and patted my body gently with it, then wrapped it around my waist.‘Hey baby’ I heard immediately I came out of the shower, I looked up and saw it was Chloe. How did she find out where I was living? I could not remember telling her that.‘What are you doing here?’ I snapped at her. ‘You need to leave before Lois sees you’ I said as I immediately started putting on my clothes.‘Lois? You brought me here, remember?’ she said, raising her voice slightly.‘No I did not’ I said, facing her‘Yes you did, you told me where you stayed last night at the

    Lois POVI finally closed for the day, and I was now on my way home. I thought about what Aaron did earlier, and my countenance changed. He really thinks I would be swayed by such acts of his. Memories of that night flashed before my eyes, and my temperature rose. I slammed my hands against my driving wheels and let out a loud grunt of frustration. I tried to calm myself down. Aaron sent a lot of text during the past week, but none was about that night, like he didn’t want me to know or he thought I don’t know about it.I know I said he could do whatever he wants, but not just in my front. But the thought of him doing things like that behind my back really angered me, and I could not explain why.I arrived at my house later. I was really tired and needed a good rest. I approached the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. I tried again, but it was the same thing. I then noticed that the locks had been changed, so that was why the keys weren’t working.I did not think far befo

    Lois’s POV I walked into the bedroom, grinning from ear to ear. I noticed Aaron was already fast asleep. I thought about the kiss. It was a good one, but nothing compared to the one I had with Aaron. The kiss with Aaron was passionate and got me feeling things I hadn’t felt before.I felt neutral while kissing Zach, but special. I always dreamt of having a date with a guy and ending the day with a kiss. Here I was after experiencing it. Instead of savouring in the moment, I was still thinking of Aaron. I looked over at his back as he slept and sighed. I felt a little bit disgusted staring at the bed, memories of him, and that lady flashed before my eyes again, I quickly shook it off and stood up. I proceeded to take a quick shower before going to bed. After I was done, I changed into my nightwear and then collapsed on the bed.I woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Sleeping next to Aaron really did something to me. I noticed he wasn’t in the bed again and figured he had alrea

Everybody were in their positions working, I smiled and nodded as I walked past them. I sighted my assistant walking towards me with a concerned look on his face.‘The chairman is here’ he said as he approached me. That explained the look on his face. What does this man want now?. ‘Did he tell you why he is here?’ I asked my assistant.“No sir” he said. I walked to the elevator with my assistant right behind me.

A cigarette would have calmed my nerves now, but I did not have any on me.‘Miss Anderson’ a voice screamed towards me, disengaging me from my thoughts.

Minutes earlier I looked forward to this moment but I was in no mood for that now‘Get to the point’ I said dryly as I rolled my eyes.‘I am here to apologize, I

    Lois’ s POVIt was finally the day of our wedding announcement party. Guests were pouring in from all directions. The biggest hall in the city was used, and still, it was filled to the brim with guests. The power of influence and wealth. I only knew half of the people here. They were my business associates, and the other half didn’t even look familiar. I got to invite very few people, and my parent’s did the rest. It was my party but I had a little influence over it, typical of my parents.I looked into the crowd to see if I could spot Zach anywhere, but I did not. Instead, I saw Mr Jacob’s wife. Bold of her to show her face here when her husband and daughter are sitting pretty in jail. I think she felt eyes on her because she spotted me and started walking towards my direction with a disgusted glare.‘What are you doing here?’ she asked as she pulled me suspiciously like I was an intruder.‘I should be asking you that question’ I said as I yanked my hands away from her grip.‘Did yo

He came out with his wife and daughter because of all the commotions. He looked shocked and surprised when he saw me come down from my car. I would pay a hundred grand to see that expression on his face again.‘What are you doing here?’ his scrawny daughter said with her annoying voice.‘To make you pay’ I said subtly. She moved closer to me and glared hard in my face.‘Do you know who my father is?’ she asked, and I looked over at the so-called father of hers. He looked terrified and in shock. I looked back at her and raised my brows with a smirk. ‘Yes I do, a pervert’ I spat in her face, and she slapped me. I held my face and let out a smirk.‘Nicole’ her dad said in a whisper.‘No dad, let me treat this wench a lesson’ she said as she dug her hands into my hair and dragged me backwards.

I was surprised when I heard I was going to Paris for the honeymoon, I thought we would just stay at home for a week before going back to work. I was not against the idea, I loved it. I have always wanted to go to Paris, it was my long awaited dream, but I never had to time to go since I was always so occupied with work not that money was ever the problem. I had dreams of staying in a five star hotel in Paris, going to a restaurant in the morning to have croissant and coffee for breakfast, going to see the Eiffel tower and of course having the time of my life in Paris.It is well-known to be the city of lovers, so that would make sense why my parents picked it out for us to go for our honeymoon, it would speak well to the press and will be good publicity for them. Typical.I rolled my eyes and

There is a lot of pending paperwork to sign, deals to seal. Today certainly was not my best day, I just needed a clear head and a noise free environment to work.That would have been possible if my dad was not in my office right now, blabbing about how the wedding announcement party would go and how we are to leave for Paris the next day for our honeymoon. Leaving work right now was the last thing on my mind, I basically neglected work last week and have a whole lot to do, and now I have to neglect work for a whole week again. I was not having it.But on the other hand leaving work for a week with Lois to go to Paris would not be such a bad thing. We would get to bond better, and I can use that serene environment to finally apologize and make things up to her. Get closer to her and just have the time of our lives away from all these shenan

Well, just people who have not seen me before.I still had not secured the deal with Zach. It seemed so sure before he discovered who I was. I still hope I get it badly because without that deal, my company would fall into third place, and I could not let that happen. The deal would solidify our position.

    Aaron’s PovI don’t know what happened or how I got here, but I was standing in front of Chloe’s house defeated. I sluggishly dragged myself to her front door and rang the bell. I needed to be with someone now, someone who was not Lois. A mistake? Last night was a life changing experience to me, and she had the audacity to cal it a mistake, UNHINGED. I felt devastated and defeated. I did not know why I was in Chloe’s house. But I was. Lois made me feel we had something going on, with the way she was always angry whenever I was with Chloe. I was so stupid and naive to even think that she felt something for me. I should have known better. Now that she clarified that last night was a mistake. I can now see clearly.She has always hated me and will not stop anytime soon. I did not know the extent of her anger for me, but this just proved it is much more than i thought. It is always about her and never anyone else, I was so angry, so furious.She opened the door, and her eyes slowly met

    Aaron’s POVI woke up to an empty bed. Lois was gone. Memories of last night came flooding in, and a smile formed on my face. I could still hear her screaming for me, and it felt good. Last night still does not define what we were. I still haven’t apologized properly, so I doubt she has forgiven me. But last night was a need. The tension between us was too strong, and we needed to burn the steam off.I stood up from the bed and stretched lazily. I looked down and saw I was erected, just the thought of Lois was doing this to me. I walked towards the bathroom, entered, and did my business. Today was a Sunday, so there was no work and no where to go to. Although I was not going to work, I still had a lot of work to do.I got a letter that the restraining order I filed against Chloe was finally here. I was relieved, I had to get it to her today, I don’t need her ruining things between me and Lois anymore.I quickly got dressed and headed out. I entered the car and drove off. I made a quic

He was the boss of his own, so his parents had no relation with my parents and I was really glad about that.He inspires me a lot, to be honest, to be free and not in the clutches of his parents' will. He gets to do what he wants. However, he wants to. I pulled up at the hotel and handed my car over to the valet. I proceeded to the room he told me he would be.I entered the elevator and proceeded to the third floor. Ladies around me kept throwing me weird glances. I just looked forward and ignored them. When I got to the floor, I walked till I located the room. I inserted the key I was given in the reception to open
