Zuriel POVI chuckled, seeing the news in the tabloid. She thinks by getting new investors for her company, she can win from me.Flashback"Sir, Mr. Fleming's call is there for you," Elvin said, showing me the phone.I nodded and took it."Long time but no see, Mr. Richardson," he chuckled."Can I say the same about you," I said chucklingMr. Fleming, I mean Jason Fleming, was my high school friend, but we didn't talk much after he inherited his father's company, and I was also busy with mine."So, your wife comes today, the man. She's so beautiful. You're so lucky to have her. She's definitely the beauty with the brain," he said.And I rolled my eyes. What did she have that everyone just went crazy over? I didn't see anything special in her.I even saw more beautiful girls than she."So," I said, raising my brows."Actually, she wants me to invest in her company, but seeing that her previous investors backed off because you told them to, I wonder if I should sign with her company or
Well, in that case, I've got a perfect dress for you. It's formal yet sexy. "Less formal, sexier" She beamed in happiness."I don't know..." I have this bad feeling. Maybe I should cancel it. Tell him I've got a paper cut and somehow I got an infection from it. ""Why?" She asked me as if I was out of my mind."Because Analia, you don't know him." I know I've just met him, not even two weeks ago, and everything about him screams trouble. "You didn't even believe it, but I've been in so much trouble, only because of him," I sighed.I still remember goosebumps erupting over my skin when I remember how near that variable was about to hit me two days ago. What if that had hit me in real? Then I would have probably ended up with broken bones with brain damage, or would have died."You are just thinking too much." He might just want you to be there for him for moral support.I would kill someone to be in your place, so shut up and let's get ready. " She clapped her hands together.Soon, that
Zuriel POV Sipping on the champagne, I checked the time again. She should be here any minute and that's when I saw her approaching us. To say I was stunned would be an understatement, I was gob smacked.I never expected her to look so... different. If I say I wasn't turned on I would be lying. This Brielle was completely different than the one I married. She completely stunned me.The dress she was wearing wasn't the most extraordinary dress I've ever seen but it suited her perfectly, showing right amount of curves, especially her long leg. I wonder how would her legs feel wrapped around my waist. My thoughts made me feel uncomfortable and I took a generous amount of champagne.She just made this night a whole lot worse than I actually planned to. What surprised me that even with her bold appearance, she was colouring deep root red with everyone's eyes on her. My guess is that no idiot ever told her how beautiful she actually is.She was still standing uncomfortably as we all took in
"Why?" She stuttered."Because you won't be able to eat. Right sweetheart?" Julienne said as she leaned closer and placed a seductive kiss on my cheek, lingering for a bit longer."Well, I don't care." She said dryly, looking away.I was surprised by the tone she was using. She is normally soft-spoken or that's what I think."Okay, number four for this lady please," Julienne said with a sweet smile before I could stop her from ordering. The waiter flustered and then noted down."So Zuriel how's Brielle as a wife?" Emma asked me ridiculously batting her eyes.I heard Samuel groan and I don't blame him since all we were doing was talking about her."There's a room for improvement," I replied bluntly, it's true though she could improve.She glared at me and I smirked. I'm sure she is using all kinds of 'sweet' words for me. Before she could say anything the waiters arrived with our meals. They placed in front of us and Samuel told them to refill everyone's flutes. I took a look at her pl
Brielle POVI knew something was off tonight, that's why I didn't wanted to go at all in the first place. How stupid of me to think nothing would happen tonight. From the moment he invited me I knew it. And yet I trusted him like a fool. I never ever felt so humiliated in my entire life. I agree I am not as rich as they were but that didn't mean they had to make me feel like trash.'I had it coming.' I felt like laughing but ended up crying more.I kicked an empty trash on the road furiously. I felt pathetic crying my eyes out for people like them. Ever since I left from there I kept thinking that why is god so kind to people like them? Why did he had to blessed them with so much money but didn't even bless them with a soul.Am I that pathetic that they had to insult me?Is my fault that is decided to marry him to save my dad's company for which he worked so hard for.Or was it my fault to believe maybe he is different. I really thought maybe he is hiding himself from the others. Mayb
Shit.I chose to ignore it. What if he tried something else? I don't even have my pepper spray with me and there wasn't even any houses around I could ask for help. I started to pick up the pace."I will pay you twice.""Get lost." I managed to say between my clattering teeth."Okay I will pay you thrice." This sentence made me rile up. I turned around and the driver stopped the car immediately."Listen you desperate prick... just go away." I cut my sentence when I realised it was Zuriel's friend, Samuel, who was grinning at meHe leaned over the passenger side and opened the door. He gestured me to sit inside. I stared at him not knowing what to do. He is after all his friend that I barely know but looking at the situation I was in I couldn't decline either. There was no sign of any other transportation."Thank you but I will manage." I replied him politely.He laughed at me loudly. What the hell? My deathly glare managed to stop him laughing."He is right. You are stubborn, even in
I went upstairs, not caring how awkward it must be for the two. As I was about to enter my room, I saw my reflection in one of the mirrors and grimaced at myself. I look like shit. No kidding, I had panda eyes from all the crying and my hair was fuzzy. I have to give credit to Samuel for not saying anything. I quickly took a shower and joined them. Surprisingly, Samuel and Analia were getting along perfectly. After some time, Samuel decided to go home."Isn't he just beautiful?" Analia muttered dreamily when he left, and I just laughed.She asked me about my night, and I told her everything. We never hid anything from each other back there in high school, so why now? Let's say she didn't take it in a good way. It took me one hour to explain that I was really fine and to make her get rid of the baseball she had in her hands.As I rested on my bed, I couldn't help but think about what Samuel told me. He said he had been through a lot, and I could tell by the way he would switch his mood
As soon as we came out of my car, I helped him to get inside the mansion.He can't even walk properly in his drunken state, so, after a debate with myself,I've decided to drop him off towards his room.It will be the very first time for me to go to my husband's room. We've already loved in separate bedrooms as this marriage is nothing but a contract which was destined to end after 19 months.I just don't know what happened to me, but this thought makes my chest squeeze, making me feel so uncomfortable aroundI was supposed to be very happy that, finally, I would be able to get freedom from him after 19 months, but then also, my heart was so hurting with this thought of leaving him.My feet involuntarily moved with his. He led me into his room and shut the door behind me.If you thought his living room was cool, wait till you see his bedroom. In the middle, there was the biggest size bed I've ever seen in my entire life. Adorned with black and grey sheets and cushions, There were few b
