After dragging myself from bed around six a.m, I went for an early morning run in order to clear my head. The last three weeks has been a disaster! I feel like I’m drowning at this moment. Prince treats me as if I’m his property.

All he does is boss me around and bark at me every chance he gets, it’s not like I can do anything, since the contract clearly states that I should respect and do exactly as he says. Whenever I try to do something good for him all he does is get mad. I’ve never met someone more rude and self centered. I haven’t been out of the house since we got married, today was the first. I just couldn’t stay there and drown any longer.

When I got back to the house, Prince was busy on his phone Talking, as usual. He has on a grey business suit. When his eyes caught me he hung up and approach me.

“I’m going to work today. Don’t call or text me. I don’t care if you are dying. Don’t call me” He says pushing me out of his way. I roll my eyes at him and enter the house.

“I’ll get you a cup of tea Mrs. Criv-, I mean Cheska” Hannah said moving towards the kitchen.

“Thank you Hannah, I’ll go take a quick shower then I’ll help you clean.”

I ran upstairs and took a quick shower, then I came back downstairs. I sat at the table and started drinking my tea. I am so bored. Sitting here everyday scrolling through I*******m or watching N*****x is becoming depressing. God, it’s making me depressed. I seriously need to talk to slug face about slowing me to work. That’s one of his many nicknames. You would be surprised how much terrible names you can come up with just by being around him for a few seconds.

It’s not like I can go out and work. My contract with Prince mom strictly forbids it. I feel like I’m a prisoner to all this. Well, technically, I am. After I finish eating, as I stood up to take my plate to the kitchen, I notice a container of food on the table.

“Whose is this?” I asked turning to Hannah.

“Oh, Mr. Crivelli left it there Ma’am”

“I’ll take it to him!”

“Are you sure about that? I don’t want him to get angry with you” she says in a concerned tone.

“Don’t worry Han. Slug face will be alright”

“Slug face?” She asked raising an eyebrow. I nod my head and smile. “That’s his new name” I say getting up. I took my cup to the kitchen, then I left for Prince office. Don’t ask me why I chose this stupid decision. I guess I’m just dumb, nosey or desperately want to get out of this house.

I rush upstairs and freshen up, then I head out. Maybe after dropping this off I can meet up with my brother. It’s been a while since we spoke. I’ve actually been avoiding his calls.

Axel

I walked out of my meeting and went to my office. I am finally at peace. That wife of mine is making my life hell. She’s just like all the women I sleep with. All she wants is money. She even went to the lengths to convince my mother to marry us. Just another gold digging … hmmm … When I’m done with her she’s going to regret the day she decided to beg my mother to marry us. I’m gonna turn her life upside down and break her into a million pieces. She will be unmendable.

My thoughts were interrupted when the telephone rang. No one calls me on this line but my PA.

“What now?” I bark

“Your wife is here, sir,” She replied. I clenched my fist. Speak of the devil. Is she trying to annoy me? The more I tell her to keep her distance the more she involves herself in my life.

“Send her in.” I order.

In less than a minute the door of my office open and she walked in. My eyes pop out of my head. She was dressed in a short strapless pink dress that exposed all her legs. It clung to her body showing off curves. I couldn’t help but notice how sexy she looks, but I wipe the thought from my mind.

I got up and walked towards her.

“What are you doing here and what are you wearing?”

“I … I came to give you your breakfast.”

“What are you wearing?”

“It’s called a dress.” “Don’t mess with me woman!”

“You can’t tell me what to wear, Prince”

“You are my wife and I can tell you what to wear. I am the head of the house. Practically your boss! Do you know how many men will be looking at you? It’s not appropriate! No wife of mine should be looking like a stripper!”

“What do you care if men look at me? We are not even sleeping in the same bed.”

“Listen to me, and listen carefully. I a-“

“Just shut up” she say shoving the container of food in my hand. “I won’t let you treat me like a fool. I’ve had enough of that growing up.” She muttered under her breath. “You think you’re better than me because you’re rich?”

“I am better than you. In every way”

“Oh shut up slug face”

“What did you just call me?”

“I wasn’t born twice to repeat twice” I step closer to her and grabbed her chin.

“This is not a game you want to play with me wife. So I suggest you be respectful, and keep your mouth Shut. Just keep in mind that you’re living in my house and off my money.”

“Whatever” She turns around and walks out. A few minutes later I left my office. As I Was walking to the elevator I realized three men in a corner talking.

“She’s really hot.” One of them said.

“Yes and those legs. Boss is really lucky to have her for himself. The things I would do to her if she was mine … “

“What are you talking about?” I interrupted them. They swirled around giving me a frightened expression.

“No … nothing boss. Just work related stuff.”

“My wife is work related, stuff?” They shook their heads simultaneously. “Keep her name outta your mouths” I say walking off. The last thing I need is my workers fantasizing over her.

Jane

I put on my shades as I walk out of the bus. I am meeting Drake, my brother for lunch. I could feel my legs shaking as I walk inside the restaurant. I made my way to where he was sitting, and pull out a chair.

“Bro”

“I sent you so many messages, over the past weeks. But you ignored them”

“I’m sorry, things have been … awful”

“You should never have agreed to marry him sis.”

“I know, I know. But you know the situation. I had to.”

“I will try to get you out of this contract. I promise you”

“Ugh, I feel like I’m losing my mind living with him. By the way, how’s mother?”

“Losing her mind about you not sending her money since you got married”

“That’s all she cares about”

“Well, I’ll be moving out tonight.I’m done with her, and you should be too” I shrug my shoulders and look away from him.

“Maybe she can change”

“I doubt that” As I opened my mouth to respond Drake spoke. “Don’t look, but Prince is making his way over here. By the time I turn my head he was already behind me. He leaned over and kissed my cheek, then pull out a chair.

“Well, it’s a family reunion I see. Planning ways to steal my money, yeah?”

“Leave us alone Prince… “

“Yeah, maybe next time wife.”

“Talk to my sister like that again and I promise you I’ll make your face unrecognizable” Drake threatens. Prince chuckles and leans forward.

“Oh how I would love that. You know, I prayed your slut sister would’ve violated the contract so I could immediately be through with this marriage, but no. Because I’m going to break her, and send her back to you in pieces. Now, if you don’t mind. I would like to take my wife home, since I had to come here and get her stupid was because she decided to take the bus. This world you’re living in, it’s different from what you’re used to.” He stretches out his hand for me to take. “Come wife. Smile for the camera.”

  • MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN   Epilogue

    Cheska The thought of Drake purchasing a gun still bothered my mind the entire night, but I decide not to question him again about that. I keep wondering why he suddenly decides to carry it now. We've been living in California for two weeks, and so far, everything is fine. This morning, he leaves for work, as usual. While I'm about to finish blow-drying my hair inside my bathroom, I hear footstep sounds from downstairs. That makes my heart thump hard against my chest. Ever since the incident of Andrew breaking into our house in England, the smallest sound and the slightest movement can make me become a paranoid again. I'm sure that Jake has locked the door, so if it weren't him, who else would enter this house? Slowly, I step out of my room and head downstairs, almost tiptoeing so that I won't make too much sound. My pulse quickens as I finally reach the ground level. When I see the person entering the living room, I yelp in surprise. My eyes widen as I see Prince standing before m

  • MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN    67

    Prince I open my eyes, only to find an unfamiliar ceiling. My vision is still quite blurry, but then, it becomes better. My head pulses with pain, but it’s so much better than what I felt before. Abruptly, I sit up and find that I’m sitting on a bed that’s not mine. What the hell has happened to me? I snap my head around and find Jake standing in the doorway, leaning against the door frame. “Shit,” I involuntary curse. “You passed out,” he says, as if it can’t be any clearer. “When I still saw you again this morning, I thought you were crazy. You looked like shit.” “How could--” “Cheska,” Jake answers before I can finish my question. “You’re lucky. She found you, brought you inside and treated you.” I freeze for a while before a sigh leaves my mouth. So, it’s not a dream. It’s really her. I thought that I was hallucinating. Damn. I even thought that I’d died and entered heaven. Cheska stayed here, by my side. She saved me. I suddenly feel so stupid for not waking up at that ti

    Cheska The moment I close the door behind me, my sobs finally break. I’ve never thought that I would say those words to him, but I had to. We can’t be together anymore. I’ve promised myself that I’m going to forget everything about my painful past, about him. I need to be strong, and I can only be so without him. I’ve planned my future, and he won’t be in the picture. Our future doesn’t work together. Mine will destroy his. Drake leans back against the wall, his arms crossed on his chest, his eyes closed. He has heard everything as well. When he turns to me and walks closer to hug me, I bury my face in his chest and cry my eyes out, hugging him back. I can’t bear the pain anymore. Hurting Prince breaks my own heart, worse than when he broke mine. He came all the way here for me. He waited for days, standing on the street outside. He still waited for me even when the rain had been pouring hard on him. He was crying when he said that he loved me. But then, I just crushed him with m

    Prince It’s been three days since I arrived in California, and the first thing I do once I get up this morning is to visit Drake’s house again. I look up to the same window, only to find that the curtain is still shut. Drake steps out of the house to go to work again, but this time when he looks at me, he just sighs, shaking his head in disbelief. He gets into his car and drives. Clenching my fist on my sides, I call her again, “Cheska!” But still, there’s no response. I find myself standing alone on the street again, but my yearning to see her doesn’t change. In fact, it becomes even stronger. I will wait, Cheska. I will. I will still be here. The afternoon passes by, and now, the sky has become dark. Earlier, I was away just to grab some lunch, and now, I’m still standing in the same spot, in front of this house. I turn my head when I notice Drake’s car pulling in. And the first thing he does after he comes back from work is scrutinizing me. He shakes his head again before wal

    Cheska As soon as Drake comes back from work, he visits my room. I sigh, closing my laptop. Drake leans back against my door frame, still in his office attire. “ Are you sure, Ches?” he asks me the question once again. I nod. This past week, I've been spending time with my laptop to figure out what I'm going to do with my life. And finally, I've found a light, filled with hope for my future. A way to achieve my dreams. "You know, I never thought that something like this would ever happen, but-" he falters, and I give him a hopeful look. A soft smile touches his lips. "As long as it makes you happy, I'm fine with it." Relief washes over me. I thought that he would be reluctant to accept my idea at first, butI always know that he's going to be supportive, as long as it's the best for me. I stand up from the chair, approach him and hug him, making him sigh. "Thank you, Drake. I always know that you're gonna be on my side." When we pull away, I do see the sadness in his eyes. Regrets

  • MARRYING A RUTHLESS MAN   63

    Cheska Later in the afternoon, Fiona and I finally finish settling all my belongings in place. It's time for her to get back to her apartment, and I can sense that Jake's mood darkens once he knows that she's going to leave soon. Too bad for him, Fiona doesn't seem to consider another option. There's this mystery about Fiona that makes me understand why Jake is drawn to her. It's like she's doing this push-and-pull thing with my brother, which rarely happens because girls usually fall hard and fast when it comes to him. There's definitely so much more than meets the eye between them. When he sends her off at the front door, Drake says, "Thanks, Fiona. Couldn't have done it without your help." "No problem, Drake." Fiona smiles, and haven't I told you before how breathtaking her smile is? It's the kind of smile that belongs to the supermodel Barbara Palvin. So pretty. "Bye, Cheska." She waves her hand at me, and I wave back. Drake looks like he wants to give her a goodbye kiss, but
