Ivanna
I cover my mouth in shock. Before I can do anything or call him again, Christian punches the guy in his stomach. Terror fills inside me as a crowd starts forming around us in the corridor.
"Christian," I yelp when I know he's not even listening to me.
He punches the next guy again across his jaw while dealing with the first one. Those guys are indeed physically weaker than Christian which leads them to wounds.
One of them abruptly attacks Christian and punches him in the face. My heart almost comes out.
"Christian, Christian please stop," I run towards them when he slams an on the floor kicking the other two on their stomach.
IvannaI'm left thunderstruck by his sudden action. He has never talked to me like this before. His cords are visible in neck when he glares at me."I—""Did you seek my permission before touching my stuff?" He sneers."I was just—" I try to elaborate, finding my voice to speak."You were just what?" He howls again, coming closer to me. It fills me with terror and I shiver. "You don't like me to interfere in your life. And you're interfering in my stuff. Why so double standard, Ivanna Rozario?"My eyes start burning and welling up. I gulp down, peering into his dange
ChristianI hope it's a prank. Though I don't like pranks, I badly want it to be a prank."I hope you know what you're saying", I try not to sound harsh."Yes, I know", her rose petal lips shiver. I don't know if I should get pissed at her words or stare at her. However, right now her words are pissing me off."You want to go back to Texas?" I ask again."Yes", she doesn't look at me."Do you think that's possible? And just leave it. Tell me what made you take such a decision", I groan.Even though I don't like discussing personal stuff in the office, I can't help arguing over it right here."It's my decision. I don't think I need to give you any explanation", she says.I slam the files, making a huge sound that quivers. She finally looks at me with two fearful eyes as I clench my jaw and storm towards her."You need to, Ivanna. As I remember there was nothing in the contract which said we won't behave like actual
Mr CEO, marry me on conditions.#Chapter_18 (He's not a pervert)ChristianShe's not at the dining area yet. I'm sure she's mad at me. But when is she not? She keeps having issues with me. However, today I feel it was intense. I shouted at her and scolded her like this for the first time. And her tears were telling me that she was hurt.Nonetheless, she should stop being so adamant all the damn time and stop forcing me to be a jerk."Call Ivanna", I say, slamming myself on the dining seat."She won't come", Mrs Fisher says, causing me a frown.
Ivanna "Finish the whole thing," Christian groans, gazing at my plate. I am hungry indeed but it's hard for me to swallow the entire lasagna alone when my head is still burning in wrath. "Don't spy on my food now. I know how much to eat" "No, you don't. You have shrunk so much in a month," he says, looking down at me. "You were much chubbier on the wedding day" I widen my eyes at him. Does he literally measure my body with his shameless eyes? I regret not adding another clause in the contract. Don't stare at me. Huh! But will he abide by it? "I thank myself for getting bulkier," I shrug. "It's been a month since I haven't visited the gym. It's a nightmare for a gym-goer to gain weight" "So? Why didn't you go? Did I stop you?" He blurts out. "No, but you have definitely made it impossible for me to step out in a public place. I don't like people to stare at me as if I'm an a
Ivanna I don't talk to him, I don't argue with him, I don't even expect anything good from him. The moment he broke the second rule of the agreement, I lost all the expectations. That agreement means nothing to him, nor my decisions. I have stopped going to the campus since I'm sure I can never complete my PhD here. Instead, I'm looking for work now. As soon as possible, I badly need a job to start working and pay the debt and get rid of this marriage. Days keep passing as I keep my attempts on to find a high paying job since the amount of the debt can be huge. I don't even know how much my father had taken from him, nor do I want to talk to Christian about it. I haven't talked to him since that night. Every night I sleep on the couch and find myself on the bed. Still, I keep dozing off on the couch. I don't wanna have dinner with him but he has some tough arms to carry me anytime and shift me here to there like a tennis ball. It feels
Ivanna "Say it," I sigh, keeping my eyes down as he comes closer to me. "Can you fulfil it?" "Sure. I can do anything. I'm going to Texas," I say, rolling my confident gaze at him, though my heartbeat is rapidly growing. "Not you, Ivanna. We," he replies as I frown, not understanding what he means to say. "We are going to Texas. Together" His words startle me as I question myself if it's actually true what he just said. I can't believe it. "Wh— what?" "I'm serious. I'm coming with you to Texas, Iv," he pulls
Ivanna I land in Texas with a huge smile on my face. I inhale a deep breath finally, tossing my eyes at the city I always crave. "Madam, the vehicle is in that way," the butler calls me as I nod. The butler, Colton and Kane have accompanied us to Texas. It's kinda embarrassing for me to realise that this alien literally shifted the entire staff. He's crazy. Mrs Fisher along with the house helpers stayed back then. I'm definitely gonna miss all of them. The thought of Christian and me staying all alone is already giving me minor attacks. He's on the call for an hour now. Not for a second, he left the call during the flight. It pissed me off at first but then Kane told me how stressful the entire p
Ivanna"We should get a new nameplate written 'Mr and Mrs Scott," Christian tells me, staring at the old nameplate of my apartment.I look back at him, discovering him grinning at me while leaning back to the pillar. Shoving my phone aside, I focus back on him, after trying Irene's number for the third time.I have been worried for her for an entire month. The last time I had talked to her was the night before her wedding. Her decision was indeed shocking to me. More than that I'm surprised to find her ignoring my calls. What happened to this girl?I scowl at Christian."You're weird," I shrug, leaving the nameplate aside and shoving the curtain from the window."You find me weird?""Of course, you are," I groan, opening the window and taking a look at the entire city."What makes you feel so?" He can't stop questioning. What should I say now?"Sometimes you're fine. And sometimes—" I halt."And sometimes?"
