Tessa POV
“I now pronounce you husband and wife” sounds of applause resonated in the whole church, eyes boring towards us, sounds of laughter and happiness entering my ears but all I could do is stare at my husband who couldn't give a fuck about me.
His stormy gray eyes stare in my green one without blinking. I couldn't trace any warmth nor love, cue the 'love' part because it is futile to consider about it in this 'lifetime'
I am so lucky..
He leans in slowly and I had to brace myself for the kiss. Callum cupped my face and grazed his lips in the corner of my mouth. He let it linger there for thirty seconds and pulled away, showing me the cold and hard look that is etched on his face permanently.
I couldn't looked away from his gorgeous gray orbs that look like a predator who is always on chase for its prey, part of me was happy I finally got to married the love of my life but the bigger part of me couldn't help but feel disappointed at his dismissing behaviour, he couldn't bear my presence in the same room for more than a freaking minute and that hurts me deep.
Hurt….. I mastered that subject, Dr. Tessa, head of the hurt department weds with Ceo of the Anderson Corporation.
Our wedding ceremony more like 'my wedding' carry on till the evening, my legs and feet are sore from all the dancing and walking(like a zombie) my mouth numb from greeting and smiling(with all my teeth on displayed)with every clients and guest from both the families, my mom is laughing and talking politely to every rich people; that scene sent a pang in my heart, my mom believed My husband and I are madly and incredibly in love with each other.
Three months ago, after I graduated from the University, I was ecstatic to hear about my engagement with the love of my life but he showed me a completely different side of him towards me, that is, anger and hatred. My hope and dream shattered when I realised Callum would never feel that way for me.
“Smile” Callum reminds me with a little nudging at my side, I could feel my small toes forming a blister, my lips grimace everytime I take a step while walking, meanwhile my husband never seems to acknowledge it,much less to care about it.
“Honey, I am so proud of you, you make me so happy” my mom hugs me tight to her warm, motherly embrace. I inhale her sweet scent, tears threatening to escape but I bit my lip to stop myself.
“I love you, mom” my voice is barely a whisper, the reason I don't put up a protest against my marriage is because of the look on my mom face when Callum's mom proposed it, they have been the best friends since kid and adore each other so much, I don't have the heart to disagree knowing she deserve some happiness. Callum has every right to disagree but he was the one who wanted a contract marriage between us for some reason I don't know, he let me sign the papers without the knowledge of our parents.
“You'll be okay, Callum is a good person” she whispered slowly in my ears. I resist the urge to roll my eyes at her words. Callum might be successful and Owns the Anderson Corporation and also my boss but he's far from good, he showed me that. He never gives me rest since day one.
“Bye mom”
She nods and gives me a warm smile rubbing her teary eye. Aunt Cassidy came towards us and with another warm embrace, Callum and I are off to his place where most of my stuff was moved to my new room.
Callum hugs my waist and leads me towards his black SUV car guiding me towards the back seat.
The two of us settle in the back and Callum motioning his driver to take us to his villa. The whole ride is uncomfortably quiet with only the sounds of slow music from the radio. Callum ignored my whole existence and typed in his laptop occasionally tapping his foot.
No surprise there.
Twenty minutes later, the car came to a halt and I gazed out of the window staring at the sight in amazement, my jaw dropped seeing the outing and the modern glass decorated mansion, my husband is freaking rich and of course I knew that.
“Peter will escort you to your room, I'll be returning next week and...goodnight” Callum said calmly like it was the most random thing to say on our WEDDING DAY. I was confused but more hurt that he didn't want to stay with me on our wedding night.
Contract marriage….. My subconscious added.
“Get out” he said harshly when I remained sitting in my seat.
“Where are you going?” I dare to ask with my voice,timidly.
“That's none of your business” he spat. He looked so handsome in his tailored black suit and his freshly cut hair but the only thing he needed was to keep his personality in check.
“You don't have to be so rude, Jerk” I mumbled low enough for me to hear but the way he was glaring at me proved that he indeed heard it. I regretted the moment I said it because not only he is my husband but he is also my boss.
“Just go before I lose my mind dealing with a spoilt brat like you” his voice is authoritative and so cold, I gasped at the intensity of hate he showed me while interacting with me.
Without another word, I step down from my seat, I watch his black SUV disappear from my sight leaving me standing on the gate of his mansion.
My supposed new home.
Peter came to escort me giving pitiful glances and stares. As I stepped my foot in the mansion I couldn't help but admire the way it is decorated in modern style, it looks too beautiful to be true.
My heart couldn't comprehend the fact that I was married… to my childhood crush, my boss - Who left me on our wedding night(I pray he grow extra penis)
I settle in my new room admiring every piece of furniture and painting. My feet and body felt too sore to unpack. As I sat on my bed, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed in front of the maids and Peter who is my supposed bodyguard. Their pitiful stares, and awkward looks. My eyes stung from the uncontrollable sadness rushing through my body.
With the need to forget whatever I am feeling right now, I took out the bottle of scotch from my bag and poured myself a drink downing it in one go.
Here's to my married life with my boss.
Epilogue Two years later, “Callum, Tyler needs to be fed!” Tessa screamed with her monstrous voice. I let go of Sharon's hair and tied the rubber at the end of the braid. “Daddy, Tyler's walking towards us,” she said pointing her fingers towards my one year old son. True to her words, I looked over and saw the little beast walking towards us,sucking his thumb, his shirt wet from his drool. “Da-da hmp- hmmm-paaa” he laughed,Sharon ran towards him and pecked his cheeks. “Mommy, bye-” she tucked her backpack and walked out of the door before I could ask her to kiss me. My daughter hardly stays at home because she is always playing with her best friend who just moved down a year ago. “Now, Mommy did ask me to feed you” I coo the younger Anderson who just continued sucking his thumb. I checked the milk and fed him,
Chapter 39Go back to BOSTON!?I followed him by hailing a cab without any hesitation. I knew for a fact that he was leaving again to that place where he always disappeared for the past two days but this time I was clever enough to follow him. Like every typical angry wife who was mad at her obnoxious husband, I instructed the cab driver to tail Callum’s cab but he refused to, which infuriates me.“Why the hell would you say no? Please follow that damn cab!Mate!” My anger is at bay with the way the bald head old man was shutting down my request.“I ain't your mate
Chapter 38 Three fucking weeks, that's how long I was waiting for Callum to call me,text me, or to come back so that I could demand a legit explanation with his stupidity. Aunt Cassidy and I continued our afternoon baking, it was like our own small world with Sharon. However, Callum never texted me but called his mom to inform him about his well-being but NOT ME! His wife. When it turned into a month, I was not having any of it. I booked the ticket for London and packed the luggage the night before my departure. Luckily, Alex told me the whereabouts of my husband which triggered me to carry out my lame decision. Aunt Cassidy doesn't have any idea about my supposed trip to London and I was hoping it would be that way. Six hours later, I walked into the huge hotel, and talked with the beautiful receptionist. I had a hard time un
Chapter 37 Callum Pov I ran after her feeling extremely lost and fear creeped up my soul. There was no way she could have known but then again Why would she run away. None of this makes sense, the visit, the interrogation and lastly Tess running away from me. By the time I reached the elevator, she was gone but I couldn't let her walk away. No now, not ever. I took the staircase running like a madman, my breath came out in gasp,another reminder that I was losing my shape. I knew calling her was unnecessary but that doesn't stop me from calling her number. As expected, it was turned off. Feeling defeated, I hopped in my car and entered the GPS, I knew there was one place she would go if she was trying to avoid me. God! I hope I am right this time. When I reached her childhood hom
Chapter 36 There were no other words to explain as I skimmed over the page for the tenth time. And each time I was hoping whatever I was seeing is none other than my nightmare rather than a reality but it was still there when I opened my eyes. And it shattered my hope and expectations. Is Callum capable of doing such things? My heart aches at the possibility of Callum doing such a horrible thing. I remembered him telling me about his anger issues and the things he did to his friend….. I shook my head out of my thoughts. There's no way he can do this … right? I stayed at home today,making up an excuse to clean the house instead of visiting Aunt Cass. As much as I enjoyed spending time with her, I can't comprehend the situation. I need answers and I am going to find one. I walked up to his office where he spent most of his days a
Chapter 35 Four days after the marriage, I strolled down the city and hailed a cab, and asked the Uber driver to take me to North Street. My hands are sweaty, I was a nervous rack with an incredible amount of sweet and Vitamin in my system. After the wedding night of my two best friends, I was house arrested for two days by my own husband. The reason : I was pregnant. I was still in my dream. The word pregnant didn't cross my mind until the bittersweet night. The bitter part was when I had to endure the excruciating pain and the sweet part was the news the doctor dropped on us. As my wombs weren't as fertile as Cass and my body had some complications I was discharged after making sure I would be okay. Callum cried like a baby and he went on a full speech on how I made him the happiest man in the world which is ironic since He made me happy and complete me like no one else does.
