I don’t know why I am still standing here, letting her spout things from across me. I don’t know why I haven’t done anything yet. I want to. I want to make this woman shut the hell up but I don’t want to use violence to achieve that. Even though I can.

“Marco,” I call.

“Boss.” He responds to me.

“Take that phone from her and get every staff present tonight away from my home. Dismiss them for the night before retiring yourself. And please, leave her switched off phone on my office desk before leaving.” I notice the quiver of Lorelei’s body when I gave these orders. She’s terrified. Her boldness in the sight of terror is what amuses me. This woman is smart enough to calculate when she’s at a disadvantage yet despite that calculation, she doesn’t retreat. Not that she can.

Marco reaches for Lorelei’s hand which is behind her. Drags it to him then snatches her phone away, ignoring how his rough act affected her at all. I am the cause of this. It is my fault no one her

  • MY ARRANGED HUSBAND IS THE MAN I CHEAT ON HIM WITH    111

    - LORELEI - I do not know what to tell him now that he is being a literal human being. I thought I would sort this out with violence and tantrums but it went in the complete opposite direction. I take a deep breath, trying to steady my breathing and relax my nerves. I cannot deny that in all my boldness, I was indeed panicking inside and I could guess that he noticed that too. Maybe that was why he chose this route instead. I don't know. I can't tell. I cannot read this man nor do I understand him. I do not even bother to try to anymore. I thought he would be furious when Marco showed him my phone screen, I thought he would be rationally irrational, yet he wasn't. I know he does not care about me nor what I do so I always wonder why he bothered to stalk me that night and cares about what time I make it back home. Wouldn't his life be happier if I never existed in it? Doesn't it mean him more peace? Yet he seems to be bothered yet not. Maybe he just wants another means to let me un

    - LORELEI -I am chasing after waters I know I very well shouldn’t cross yet I am proceeding anyway. I know this man can ruin me in one breath if he chooses to. He can harm me with one word and I would be helpless against his antics yet I will not back down. Not when he has barely been there for me when I needed it. Not when he is a complete stranger to me despite me being his wife.Not when one day, he treats me nicely and with respect then turn on me for many days after. Not when he was the reason I fell into bad health and collapsed in an event I never wanted to take part in in the first place.I loathe his very existence and I doubt I have shown him enough how much I do. And he can rain hell on me. I have had my fair share and been through so much hell since I was a minor that whatever he does would just be a topping on the already made and messed up cake. I can see his rage fan out his body and I cannot deny the weight it has on me. I cannot deny that my heart beats violently in

    - ACE - I trot down the stairs hurriedly, hoping to be the first to welcome her at the door outside any of my servants. I can hear the sounds of footsteps and chatter echoing within the room as I advance further to meet her. Lorelei is on the phone. She’s relating how much she enjoyed her night and how she just got back home safely and how much she would prefer to meet this ‘Leonardo’ at his place the next time they meet. I am consumed with fury. Only she can vex me this much with just a few statements. The moment I sight her by the entrance I grab her phone, ignoring her advances to take it back from me. “Do yourself the favour and stay away from my wife, Leonardo or I will be sure to make you regret being born.” I mouth, and cut the call. My eyes drop to Lorelei as I hand her back her phone. She looks at me with so much hate and the smile that she had when she walked right through that door is gone. Not like I saw her smile, her tone was just way too cheery to not assume

    - ACE - I look at my phone for the fifth time this minute. The night is dreadfully long. I try to rest but I can’t. I try to sleep but I also cannot. I try to let my mind focus on anything else but it seems highly impossible. Even when she’s away from me, my mind is a complete mess because of her. When she’s near, I go crazy, when she’s afar, I am driving to madness, and when she’s unconscious, I seem to be insane. I just can’t with that woman. She drives me nuts in every possible way yet I cannot stop thinking about her. I cannot stop worrying about her. Caring about her safety because she surely doesn’t give two fucks about that. With the way she wanders off without informing anyone about anything in the middle of the night, you’d think she’s purposely trying to get herself killed. I let out a sigh, letting go of my phone and running my hands down my face in distress. I am up this late at night because of her. Damn her! Damn the moment I met her and the moment she insul

    - LORELEI - This is it, I think to myself as the car pulls out front the building I am supposed to be at. It looks fancy yet not as fancy as the last one we went to. Good thing I am putting on a simple dress and jewelry. I look down at my feet. The heels are a little too extra but there is nothing I can do about that right now. I sight Leonardo at the entrance. A smile immediately force its way to my lips and I try so hard to quench it. Not yet. I cannot be found smiling because of the present of a man. Now when the male species have shown me the worst days and weeks and months and years of my entire life. If anything, I should frown all night and make it hard for him to think he’s got a chance. But something tells me I won’t be able to keep up with that. While men have been a major disappointment to me my entire life, this one hasn’t. He shows up when he says he will and is nice to me even when he doesn’t have to. We just met yet I don’t feel that first meet awkwardness with h
