LOGINWe were left alone inside his office while I breathed heavily. She pushed my buttons and I just had to retaliate and put her in her place. I didn’t notice Xavier staring at me with hungry, insatiable eyes.
“I have to rile you up more,” he said with a cheeky grin.
“Being pissed off just makes you hotter, huh?” he added before pulling himself closer to me. He p
RHEA’S POINT OF VIEWWalking down the aisle to the man I love felt surreal. The first time I walked down the aisle was to marry a man I didn’t love. But now Xavier Ackres, that same man I despised, is waiting for me at the end of the aisle.My eyes welled up with tears when I saw him wiping his tears from his face.The wedding was small and simple, but it was filled with emotions that were never present when we first got married.The ceremony felt like a flash. Standing side by side to Xavier, my forever partner, I felt at peace.“You may now kiss the bride.”He lifted my veil and kissed me on the lips. I heard the guests clapping. “I love you,” he whispered. I gazed upon
XAVIER’S POINT OF VIEWEverything was going smoothly with the wedding preparations. My wife was enthusiastically instructing everyone on what she wanted. I couldn’t help but be in awe with how commanding and authoritative she was.The perfect trait for the Ackres’ name.She was imperfectly perfect. Her temper that I can never predict, her playful antics, and the way she carried herself.I never knew I’d fall for her the moment I saw her.I thought everything was perfect.My blood ran cold when I saw the engagement ring on the side table of our bedroom. I approached the table slowly and grabbed the ring.“Rhea?” I asked an
“You heard it yourselves. My wife will never leave my side,” he announced. I softly smiled as he defended me.“As for you…” He stepped towards Georgia.“We’ll see how my father will react after finding out what you did,” he threatened with a bright smile. Her brows slowly furrowed as police barged in.They grabbed her by her arms and started pulling her away. “What is the meaning of this?!” she shouted while trying to get away.“You’re under arrest for the attempted murder of Rhea Ackres.”Gasps around us.My mouth dropped. What the hell just happened?“What?! I never! This is defamation!” 
The day after, we arrived at the event a few hours late. Let’s just say we couldn’t get out of the master’s bedroom because he wanted to ‘dance’ with me in our bed. I’m not exactly in the best shape after what happened yesterday in the boutique and earlier in bed.The moment we walked inside, all eyes were on us. My hand was holding onto his arm and this was the first time many people were focused on me. It feels awkward seeing how their expressions showed envy.“Everyone has a staring problem,” I whispered to myself in annoyance.I looked up at Xavier who was walking beside me nonchalantly, not even bothered by the slightest.“I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest,” I muttered. He looked at me with a smirk and chuckled.
After that day, I had no time to rest. We were invited to a gala hosted by one of his close friends that he couldn’t refuse. Of course, as his wife, I had to attend with him. I just didn’t expect it to be this irritating.“Do I really need a custom dress, mom?” I turned to my mother who was sitting down while enjoying her meal on the couch. It’s been hours since I was inside the boutique, just trying on dresses.“Of course!” she exclaimed.“I’m still mad that you told your husband to stop sending me money. Go and change again,” she instructed and I groaned. Why did I even bring her here in the first place?I got deja vu when I tried on wedding dresses back then.I wanted a bite of food but she re
My head was pounding against my head as I remembered what happened last night. My memory was hazy, I was so drunk I barely remember what we did. Until I remember he was taking me home.When we reached the bedroom and he placed me on the bed, I saw him taking off his clothes in front of me.But right after that… I just passed out.I slapped my forehead before screaming to a pillow. “Why did that have to happen?” I slapped my face again and stood up.He probably let me just sleep because I was so drunk.I pushed open the bedroom door and was startled to see a woman standing there. I thought my eyes were deceiving me for a moment but there was a woman standing there.
