Am I dreaming?!”“Isn't that the mysterious billionaire who can't stand women?!”“How is that even possible?!!”But Marco ignore every murmur and walked over to me, wrapping a firm arm around my waist. “Anyone who has any issue with my wife should talk to me directly.”Sarah had never been more white and Trisha had never looked more shocked in her life. Adrian looked like a man who had been dropped in another planted whole Vivian's eyes were as wide as saucers. Noah rushed over to Marco. “You're here!” He bumped fists with Marco. “These bad people have been mocking mummy. They said she's wearing a fake dress and they said she should be thrown out!”Marco's eyes darkened. “Is that so?” He turned to Adrian who remained stunned as he stared at none and Marco's now intertwined hands. He gasped like a fish. “W-What?! When did this happen?! Answer me, Len
They probably expected me to break. After all, it had been over two weeks since my divorce from Adrian. Two weeks of being away from these toxic people and my life had taken a literal breath of fresh air. Noah shifted uncomfortably, hiding behind me at the sight of the two snakes. “I have nothing to say to you.”Sarah's face hardened with irritation. “This is my son's wedding. I would not have you crash it!”Trisha sneered, “Especially not in that horrible and ugly fake version of Gendy's fashion line. People would think we allow any form of trash to enter our event.”“This is a high profile event, Lena. If you're looking for handouts, you're in the wrong place. Get out before I have security throw you and your little brat out.”Instead of cowering, I stood straight. Trisha's eyes hardened as she glared at me, expecting me to be the first to look away. I stared back at her, unfazed. “You think you're something now that you've left us. You're nothing, let me tell you. Nothing at all
“What are you talking about?” I asked, feigning cluelessness.His face was red with irritation and a tingle of shame. But it didn't stop him from glaring at me. “You staked the house and then left me to clean up your mess. What the hell?!”My brow arched in interest. I hadn't expected him to figure that out so soon, but the earlier the better. For the show of his downfall, I was sat. “Well, you should know about it. You signed the documents,” I kept my tone cool.His eyes blazed now. “I had no freaking idea! You lied to me. You took a stupid loan to build this nonsense and you want me to pay for it. Think again if you think I'm stupid!”Marco walked over to my side with Noah. A small smile settled on my lips when I noticed that Noah no longer shrunk in fear when he saw Adrian. He held Marco’s hand and stood firm.Marco's eyes were cold as ice as he glared at Adrian. “Is he giving you any trouble?”The sincere concern in his voice released butterflies in my stomach but I squashed eve
I cleared my throat so harshly that even the birds flying past seemed startled.Marco turned sharply as I walked to meet Noah. The confusion on his face made me glare at Marco. The strange lady with jet black hair has a frown on her face as she was shoved away by Marco.She was stunning, I had to admit. Yet, something about her character reminded me of Vivian and I just wasn't ready for another drama. “Lena, you're here,” Marco stated, walking in my direction. I took a step backwards. “Apparently, I should have found a better time.”It wasn't my intention to sound so cold, but words came out cold instead.A look that seemed like realization flashed across her face and she pointed a slender, manicured finger in my face. “You can't be serious, Marky-boo. She's the one you said you're getting married to?” The disdain in her voice was clear as day. “Stop calling me that and leave already, Fiona. You can tell my mum I got her message but I'm not interested.”Fiona's face grew red. “Yo
Vivian held her stomach, almost rolling on the ground as she laughed. “Oh my goodness, we've got a real nut case on our hands. How did we ever deal with you?” She asked between laughter. “Gosh, she really is crazy!” Adrian breathed out between laughter. Everyone else laughed hilariously. Someone brought their phone close to my face, laughing ridiculously. “I didn't get a video of it. Say it again, please. I know this video is going to trend like crazy.” Ignoring them, I turned to the saleswoman. “I'll take the dress.” Vivian's laughter died and a stern expression settled on her face. “What do you think you're doing? I want to get that.” “Well, I took it first. No one can read your mind.” Her face grew red and she turned to the saleswoman. “She’s just wasting your time. She can't afford to pay for it. I'm ready to pay cash right now.” The woman gave me an apologetic expression. “I'm sorry, miss. I'd have to sell it to the person who can pay.” “And what makes you think I
LENA'S POVGlancing at my watch, a sigh escaped my lips. Thirty days to the freeze. And seven days after I had agreed to marry Marco Steel. The foundation was set for a bunker thrice my original design based on Marco's requirements.Somehow, getting married to him gave me a sense of assurance. The size of the bunker was definitely an advantage but the way he came with his own requirements… they were almost final. I stepped into the high-end store, feeling awkward and foolish. I should be stocking up for the Freeze, not trying on a freaking wedding gown.“Mummy, you want to get a princess gown?” Noah asked when he saw the large ball gowns lining the shop. Forcing a smile, I nodded. “Something like that.”His eyes lit up. “That's amazing because you look like a princess already!”Before I could respond to him, a sharp laughter from a familiar voice stopped me in my tracks.“What are you doing in a store like this? Surely you can't be looking for a wedding dress too.” It was Vivian.O
