Married for Revenge Chapter 24
Ethan's POVI phoned my men days ago to meet me at a restaurant, a place where we hold meetings. The air is finally cold between Amelia and I."Good morning," she greeted me before I left the house. "Good morning," I replied to her. I walked to the dining area to have breakfast. Pamela is finally stronger than days ago."Good morning," she came out of her room, looking fleshy and I nod at her, sipping from my mug. I left the house after some time and rushed to the office. From my calculations, I am almost late for work. Being a CEO does not justify me."Meet me at the restaurant," I said to one of my men over the phone. I asked him to bring the rest of the boys with him. It is almost a matter of urgency, afterall. "Okay, boss," he said before ending the call.I arrived at the office and hopped down from my car to see Roberts' car at the lot. "Again," I muttered to myself. "Who owns that car?" Although, I know. I still asked the worker for a clarifying reason. "Mr. Robert, sir," he sa

Luke's POVThese past few weeks have not been easy, I barely sleep and I don't have time for my woman, either.Boss had announced to me that I would be in charge of taking the ladies to the airport on the day they would leave the warehouse. I fidgeted, never have I ever done such since I started working as a distributor for him. "You learn to be perfect," he said, seeing the expression on my face. "Yes, sir," I said, fearing that I would lose my life if the police officers at the airport gripped me badly."I'd be travelling for a business trip soon, baby," I said to Scarlett when we settled on the bed to sleep. She looked at me, searching my face for the expression I was hiding. I faked a smile and she nodded, accepting what I had said. "Where are you going?" She asked and I was lost for words to tell her. Growing up as a man, I didn't find it too hard to lie, but the fear I had for this act took away the lyi

Luke's POVWe halted at the gate of the airport."Good morning," the cab man said to an official who waved at us. The girls' faces were expressionless and I urged them to smile, thoughts of getting caught causing me to fidget."Here," the man said, bringing his car to a stop far from the main gate of the airport. I greeted him, hopped down from the cab and saw the other car that was following from behind. One of the guards signalled me, asking me to come over."Don't move," I said to the girls who were still in the car. "I'd be back," I told the cab man and moved to the other car. The guard showed me the man that owns the big envelope I was given the day before, reminding me of the code I did not forget. How could I have forgotten? I would be in trouble if I did.I nodded at the men and moved back to the car where the girls sat still. I removed a few notes from my purse, throwing them at the cab man who smiled, picking the notes from where it had fallen. "Come on," I said to the girl
Married for Revenge Chapter 27
Amelia's POVI cooked in the kitchen last weekend when Ethan walked up to me."How are you?" He asked and I replied, "I am fine," I had imagined him hungry, but no, he had come to have a conversation."You came to get water?" I asked him, moving towards the refrigerator but I was also wrong. He obliged."Where is Pamela?" He asked, settling on a chair. I had sent her on a quick errand to help me get shampoo from the mall. The last one I bought was exhausted."I sent her out," I told him and he nodded. "I have given information to my men regarding Luke.""This is good news!"His words were a bomb in my head and I looked at him for one moment, expecting him to laugh and tell me it was a joke."You're serious," I confirmed, seeing he didn't smile and he kept a serious look."Y

Ethan's POV"I met with Scarlett today at the boutique," Amelia announced to me on the night of her outing with Pamela.At first, I thought it was a joke. Not a joke that she met with her sister, but she was at the boutique. "At the boutique?" I asked, I just had to be sure I heard her right."Yes, Ethan. Pamela and I went to the boutique." I looked at her from my own corner of the bed, searching for lies in her eyes. She nodded and moped at me in wonderment. "What is it?" She finally asked when my eyes did not leave her fair skin. "What did you go to do at the boutique?" I asked and she smiled for a moment, bursting into ripples of laughter. Something she never really did and I wanted her to laugh some more, at least, for the moment. "Pamela and I went to get some stuff for her." "With your money?" I asked again and she laughed. "Yes, Ethan. I am not too broke," she said this time and I laughed for a moment."I'm sorry." I had never imagined her as broke, but then, a boutiq

Ethan's POV"Hello, boss," Matthew greeted as he walked into my office.I sat on the seat meant for me. It was a sunny day and a chilled bottle of yoghurt stood at the rim of my table, the ice and chills ran down from the top and I looked up to my man, Matthew.Other men walked in after him and greeted me, I watched them sit without my permission. It was something they have always done, who am I to ask them not to? Besides, I had invited them to stop by for a brief rehearsal.Two weeks is almost elapsing as the investigation on Luke's case will arise. I asked that they visit the office, just so we can have a brief discussion on what and what not to do."Good morning, boys," I said to them after they had sat on the long couch in the office. They waited for a while before I finally joined them. "How are you?" I asked and they nodded. Matthew's hair is shorter, almost at the same level with his scalp, I noticed while I settled down. "We have come as you have ordered," James chipped in
Married for Revenge Chapter 30
Scarlett's POVI was hurt by Luke's recent behaviour, I don't know if I would call it a new habit, or it was an hidden character long before we got married.We have talked about it several times and he keeps apologizing. The last time, he refused to have a taste of my meal, his favourite treat. I had prepared the dish with the very last cash in my account.I had my bath on the morning of his trip, the next morning after the evening he left the house. I walked miles, searching for the best store to purchase the ingredients, every little savings I had at the time was all spent on making a pot of Luke's favourite dish."I am not hungry," he said that night after slumping on the chair like a log of wood. I walked up to him, inviting him to the diner and he gave the reply, "I am not hungry."I was shocked."I prepared your favourite," I told him severally, wishing my words would sink in his head and he would take a step to the diner to eat. He said his words repeatedly and finally got to h
Married for Revenge Chapter 31
Luke's POVI laid on the bed in our bedroom when I heard a car honk its horn.Scarlett. I didn't have to be told she had arrived back home from her outing. "Would you want to go with me?" She asked me hours ago before she left the house."No, baby. Go alone," I pleaded with her as I was very tired and recovering from my last experience and stress at the airport.I heard her hop down from my car. She was inside the house the next minute with a gloomy face. She barely greeted me and I looked at her, wondering. What did I do again? I wondered, sitting up on the bed to ask her my questions when I heard her speak_: "I saw Amelia at the boutique," it came as a shock to me, just as she must have been shocked. "What?" I asked, sitting more uprightly on the bed as I looked at Scarlett. She had a serious look on her face and I wanted to doubt her. "Are you serious, baby?" I asked and she nodded, throwing the nylon bag she came back with. She slumped on the bed next to me, panting in her b
