SKY POVIt’s been a couple of weeks, close to a month since I have officially been trapped in this hell hole that looked like a palace. We still fought like cats and dogs but in all honesty, it was mild now. We naturally stepped into our own lanes in order to avoid bothering each other, and it was almost peaceful. Since my last snap at his head and him owning it and apologizing, our days were the usual routine life of him getting early for his gym and having breakfast prepared by the maids (because I never wasted my time and energy cooking him breakfast unless I was feeling too merciful), and then leaving for work without a word. Sometimes when he felt like it, he would knock on my door for a small ‘good morning’ and then leave. In the evenings, he would either be very late that he finds me asleep, or he is way too early that I have to sit with him at the dinner table and try to keep myself from clawing his eyes out. See, it was all good. And frankly, the more I spent time with him,
WOLF POVJust who the fuck did she think she is? Some queen bitch delivered to my lap to make me angry almost 90% of my life?I just didn’t know what to do anymore. I have tried, I have fuckin’ tried to try to accommodate her and make her feel less shitty about her already fucked up life, but no, she had to defy me every minute of the day. She had this giant impenetrable wall built in front of her, and damn you if you ever tried to cross it.Skylar had boundaries, and she was fuckin’ firm on them. I get that, and I fuckin' respect it. Everyone has their boundaries, there are invisible lines drawn everywhere, lines to be observed and not crossed. But if she wanted to keep me off her back as much as she tried, then she fuckin’ succeeded. She didn't need to say more. Because as of now, I was boycotting all the things that started with ‘SKY’. Or else, I am going to drive myself into a mental asylum.For the whole day, I buried my head in work and tried very hard to forget her bitter words
SKY POV“See you tomorrow.” I waved at my team as everyone exited the door carrying their bags. In a matter of seconds, the whole studio was in eerie silence. I glanced around the empty studio and then stretched my body, before backpedaling to my little inn where I was finishing up the embellishments.Heaving out a huge sigh, I sat down on the stool and picked up my needle. I was tired. Matter of fact, tired didn’t even begin to describe it. It felt like there was a burning spear piercing through my back, and my ears were ringing loud as fuck. My feet were literally killing me and I was starving. Luckily, I was clever enough to order myself some food while everyone was still around.Now it was just me, and the rest of the work. I was glad though, that we managed to finish 3 costumes in just a matter of a few hours and this was the fourth one, which of course, would be finished by morning. Plucking on my little desk speaker, I played my favorite songs and then danced around. Fuckin
WOLF POVThe bad weather ensued for the following days, and for those days, I got to be the strong knight in shining armor and be there for Skylar. There was something about seeing the fierce Skylar all so vulnerable to the point where she cried and trembled uncontrollably.I don’t know if it had to do with my dad’s little pep talk a few days back, but all I knew is that whenever I saw her like that, I did but want to hold her tight and tell her it will be okay! Of all the things I came to learn about her from this dilemma, Skylar was still scarred by her sister’s death. I was not the only one still holding onto the memory of Samantha. Imagine my shock when Cassie told me that she named her fashion house after her deceased sister. That was... jarring.The realization of how I have never given her a chance hit me hard in the face, and I felt like a giant dick for everything I have done, everything I have said to her. Now I was all but inclined on righting the wrongs and getting to know
SKY POVThe morning arrived, and I woke up with a start. For the first time in a few days, the sun was actually dazzling bright and I could feel it in my bones that it was going to be a lovely day. Although it was a little moist from the heavy rain, I just loved the scent of freshness that swirled heavily in the air. I was scared of rain, I know, but goodness. That thing when it hits the ground is the best scent in the entire world. My mind churned when I realized that I was no longer in the closet where I had been hiding last night, but tucked safely in my bed.My memory of last night was in small remnants. I barely remember how I got out of the closet and got to bed, but I could have sworn that through the midst of fear and trepidation, I saw Kayden arriving and hugging me tightly. Or at least I felt him. But I couldn't tell, since it might have been the fear of rain playing tricks on my mind. It has happened before,Not wanting to dwell on the thought because it was all fuzzy, I j
WOLF POVThe whole day marched on post haste, but I didn't complain. Right when I was about to leave for the night, I stopped and sent a quick text to Kennedy informing him and the rest of the squad that I would be joining, along with my ‘wife’. Man how I wish I didn’t. My phone buzzed with a lot of notifications as they all commented. Everyone just had something to say about me and my marriage. And somehow they were all so convinced that one way or another, I was going to fuck it all up and shit. Something about the way they taunted me irked me in a way it shouldn’t have. I know Skylar and I were not married for love or the monochromatic 'happily ever after', but did they really have to slap me in the face like that? Frankly, it pissed me off. The fact that everyone was waiting for me to boggle this whole thing up all but made me want to puke. Didn’t anyone believe that I was actually capable of embracing the change and letting go of the past? Or that’s what I made everyone think?
SKY POVThe date with Kayden was surprisingly… awesome? I guess?I would be a big lying ball sack if I opened my mouth to say I didn’t enjoy it. Not only was the food amazing, but Kayden himself seemed to be out of his usual… Kayden-ated mood and was easy to have a decent conversation with.For the first time since I have known him and got married to him, my husband seemed to be interested in what I had to say. At first, when he asked me questions about myself, I was taken aback. And admittedly, it kind of clicked subliminally that I should keep up my defenses. For all I know, he could be fishing for something, anything that would later be used against me. I mean I couldn’t just let go of everything and just go with the wind thinking that I was living a long honeymoon.Nuh-uh. I had to be a good girl and keep my shield up.That's what I convinced myself. And then he had to go ahead and give me the ear, probe, and ask questions all expectantly with that look that told me he was really
SKY POVThe weekend arrived sooner than I had hoped. And for the nights before then, I had to overwork my ass to complete the sketches of the new design I needed to be done during the course of the week while I am away. I couldn’t slack off only because I was out having fun.Even if I was going to a massacre, I would still find my way to get some work done.Donnie-Lyn asked some maids to do some packing for me, but I wasn’t fond of the idea of people going all about on my things so I settled with taking care of my stuff. It was just a week-long trip, on the water to be exact. Apart from swimwear, there was really nothing much to pack. Saturday morning arrived and eventually, we piled out of the house ready to leave and go for a suicide mission, only to stop dead in my tracks when I saw Kayden next to his Lamborghini, dressed in a three-piece suit. AND A TIE. A fuckin’ tie…“Ehhhhhh…” I said dropping my trolley bag to the ground and watching him as he worked on something on the car,
