In the evening, I organized the whole room before he could come so it wouldn't bring a scowl on his face.Everything aside, I could understand he returned exhausted and judging his behavior, it would infuriate him to find his things out of their way so as an act of kindness, I did it.Humming to myself, I was using my phone, waiting for him and the second he entered, I put my phone down immediately, rushing to his side.“Oh, you are back. Welcome home.” I greeted with a smile which brought bewilderment on his face.“You look awfully excited to see me in one day.” He mumbled, scanning me with stress, placing his bag to the correct position, checking the room as well.“You cannot imagine the deadly silence of this place. How did you manage living here alone?” I whined, going after him, noticing the sigh which escaped his lips when he saw the neat room. “I am accustomed to it.” He shrugged calmly, back facing me.“Maybe that is why you are so sour.” I mumbled, sitting on the couch to ge
Humming to myself, I was setting the duvets, knowing he would be home anytime. I didn’t mind setting our room, he did it too in the first week and it was ‘our’ room so I had responsibilities too after all.As I was lost, the door flung open, surprising me as he was early.“Welcome-” He spoke out of the blue, utterly serious, “Let’s go and see your Father.”“Right now?” I asked, checking the time.“Yes. I won’t have time otherwise for the rest of the month, I’d be busy. Come, I will take you today.” He explained nonchalantly.“I can go alone-” I was about to shrug my shoulders and not think deeply but he frowned, coming closer with a scowl coming to his face, confusing me.“So that people can say that I am not seeing my wife’s father because they are lower than me? No thank you. Don’t try to degrade my image.” He mocked, turning his head to the side, taking the other side of the duvets and setting it as I sighed in frustration.“You are unbelievable, you and your image- Fine. Give me
I started avoiding him after what happened at the hospital. I felt stupid to feel better by his words. “I should have known he was insincere to everyone.” I muttered, wearing my hoops. A grimace lingering on my face. I got ready for the event he organized to show the world our so-called happiness. We wore matching maroon outfits too. “Are you ready?” Irritated like always, he entered and his eyes fell on my maroon mermaid dress, observing me from top to bottom. He was wearing a three buttoned suit jacket, spelling opulence. Hairs combed perfectly, holding an assertive frontage. Looking handsome as always but his appearance was deceptive. “Why did you dress up like a doll? Is it for our guests? To attract others? Because I don’t see you putting in any effort for me at all.” Ignoring his stare this time, I put my hand on my waist with a frown. Resting his hands in his pockets dominantly, he walked closer, standing before me to intimidate me. “And then you say you are not wait
After leaving him, hoping to stay away from him as far as possible, I was in the corridor, leaning against the wall.This was becoming heavy for me. He was… testing me.“What are you doing here?” Breaking my unwanted thoughts, I looked up and saw Jared there. Him being here only enhanced my frustration. It was all his fault.Of all the people, he found that stone’s wife to cheat on me with.“What are you doing here?” I scoffed, straightening my back to regain my composure and folding my arms at my chest.“You looked troubled. I could tell by your face.” Shrugging his shoulders, he came closer, checking me out slowly which made me uncomfortable. “Leave me.” I muttered, looking away.“No, I won’t. I know I did wrong and it’s my fault you got in this mess too. All I wanted to do is help you. Please, tell me,” He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.I raised my eyebrow, “Tell you what?”“Did Boss… force you to marry him?” He asked bluntly.“What if I say yes? What can you do or wh
Done with his selfish actions and intimidations, I decided to not see him at all so I kept my distance throughout the party.“Goodbye. Take care.”We bid our last guest, sighing in relief that this fake event, all his efforts to clear this ruthless image worked well and everyone believed that he changed.Because of me.“Bless you guys. Bye.”The second we were alone in the main hall of his enormous mansion, we rolled our eyes, tired from his event.“Tsk.”Turning, I grabbed my dress and turned to leave but he grabbed my arm, sending a shiver down my spine, worrying me about what he wanted now.“Now, where the fuck do you think you are going?”His low, warning tone came and I was too tired to confront him at his point. Returning a glare, I tried to leave my hand.“Leave me.” “No.”Not caring about his hard grip over me, he began to drag me with him to our room. I growled at him, how ‘affectionately’ he was acting and the second the party ended.He came back to his usual ruthless self.
DARIEL’S POV:- “So you got remarried and didn’t bother to invite your Uncle, Dariel?” The man I resent the most complained on the phone. My father’s brother, Uncle Harry. “Hmm. So? What difference was your presence going to make?” I responded in a cold tone, having no concerns towards him. “Is that how you speak to your Uncle, Dariel?” He growled. Ignoring him, I entered my cabin where the man I called unwilling was present. “Yes, I do and if you have any problem then don’t call.” With a scoff, not in the mood to hear further of his whining, I cut the call before inclined on my throne as I stared dead at the blond man. Emitting my supreme aura to assert my dominance in the room, I placed my phone away and rested my one leg over the other. “There he is, Sir.” My most trusted man, my assistant Ian informed. Humming, I contemplated the guy with a sour expression. “Good Afternoon, Sir.” “Listen here, Peter. Starting tomorrow, you are going to teach my wife how to paint.” I
Finally, after bearing that shameless motherfucker in my office after he took away my wife, I was going to teach him a lesson he would remember for the rest of his life.I got my deal now I would start my revenge.“Are you Jared Raz?” The cops came to my enormous workplace. Though it was heartbreaking for me to have them over yet I bore with it.“Yes. What can I do for you, Officer?” He smiled, looking up at them. With that damned smile with which he stole Veronica.“Jared Raz. We have an arrest warrant against you in case of money laundering.” He spoke seriously, dropping his smile.“What?! This- This has to be a mistake. I have been loyal to this company for the past five years. I didn’t do anything.”A dark smirk came to my lips as I leaned on the wall against my shoulder from afar. In my white office shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbows, indulging in the pleasing view.“Sir, please don’t create a scene and come with us quietly.”But a scene was made, everyone saw and they took him
Bewildered at my wife running away after knowing the price of one of my suits, I went to my room. I mean, I am a billionaire, she should have expected that. Still honestly, It was one of the best but ah well.The second I entered our room and took off my watch and other ring- not the wedding one- she kicked the door open.“What the-” For a second I thought someone came to assault me but it was only her, holding a towel in her hand, stopping before me. The moment I opened my mouth to ask, she grabbed the collar of my shirt and brought me down to her level. “What are you doing?!” I gasped at her action, holding her wrist quickly to stop but I soon noticed her eyes fixed on my lapel.“What else? Clean this up!” She whisper-yelled, perturbation coating her eyes, wiping the soil. If it was any color, it would be fine but white…“Oh Lord, I had no idea that was this costly. I am so sorry.” She whispered. I didn’t realize I was holding her wrist, bent to her level. She kept me too close.
