"Bitch...What the hell did I tell you and what did you do??" The moment I swiped my screen to lift the call, his screeching sound echoed in my ears. I closed my eyes, a way of my own to let me calm down. I can't be pissed off...! To talk to a scumbag like him, I need a lot of patience. Anyhow, to be honest, no matter how many times I tried to teach myself, I still can't help but grit my teeth. This man is sick. "Young master..." I said respectfully after gulping down the disgust for him, forcing whatever patience was left in me, but I was instantly interrupted. "Shut that heck up... There's no need to suck up to me. I know you very well." he barked and I clenched my skirt. His words are sharper than a knife. "Slut...I am very well aware of what you are and I warn you to stop bringing that bitchiness of yours to me..." I gasped, my eyes pooled up but I didn't want to shed those tears for him. Taking a few breaths, I gripped myself. "Listen to me, Young Master..." I started, trying to explain to him, but no, that moron wouldn't listen to me at all. "You listen to me first, bitch...!" he barked and I clenched the phone. I know what will come next. "I don't know what you will do, just disappear from the world or just go die somewhere, I don't care...but remember one thing bitch...I don't want to see you on that day...Did you hear that...! If you still dare show up..." he paused and I quivered internally. What!! Will he kill me? His bride!! I gasped, fighting back the urge to shout at that shameless man. Why can't he just understand that I am not dying to marry him...! Why can't he just go to his father to cancel this arrangement?? "What?? Will you kill me?" I smacked back but instantly regretted it. He was indeed capable of doing even that. After all, this man is my fiance, and despite his reluctance, we are engaged and unfortunately, will be married in a week. And I don't know what he would do to me once I am at his mercy. There was silence on the other end, which I didn't expect. I continued, again fetching the minimum respectful words for him, "Young master Logan...if you really want to cancel our engagement, you can just go talk to your father..." I said through my gritted teeth. I know he can't do this, and as usual, I was interrupted again. "Shut the heck up, you whore..." he barked again, and I literally wanted to smash that phone on his handsome face, if possible, but I know...I couldn't. "Do you think I don't know what you are up to? I know what kind of slut you are..." I felt that my ears would start bleeding if I heard his crab even for a second more. Do hell with his status. Do hell with respect...! "Mr. Logan Davis...I have had enough of your nonsense...If you want to say anything just get your ass back to Newyork and talk to your father...." I yelled back, above my lungs. I feel like crying whenever I imagine living with a man with such a venomous tongue. "Bitch...don't you dare talk to me like that ever again, or you'll regret being alive..." he said furiously; I could hear his teeth gritting. I pursed my lips. Was I rude? Yes, of course I was. But was he being reasonable to begin with? I mean, who the hell talks to his fiance in that tone? He starts his words using the word bitch and ends with some other curse. How could I be respectful to a jerk like him who had been threatening to kill me? "Now listen to me carefully..." He smacked me out of my daze, "Don't you dare show up on the wedding day next week, or I will make sure to be single again within just a month after this marriage...and trust me that won't be something that you can even imagine..." he spat a warning, and I knew what he meant. "You know what I mean, don't you?" he sneered and I felt a chill run down my spine. He hung up the call after that without even listening to me. I slumped on the floor, my phone fell beside me. That man won't bat an eyelid before killing me and I know it. I know very well that he would. How could my life be so miserable? What did I do wrong to deserve this...! I joined Davis Group as the secretary to the CEO just for the elegant salary they offered, but I never thought that my efficiency at work would lead me to this disaster. God...! Shouldn't goodness rewarded with something better? Why is my life turned upside down instead? I was unfortunate enough to be chosen by the chairman as his daughter-in-law. I saved that old man once and he liked me so much that he wanted me in his family. Doesn't it sound like a Cinderella story? But in reality, it isn't. Though that old man, Johnathan Davis, is a very good person, his second son, Logan Davis, is a scumbag, a Playboy, and a ruthless monster. He is far worse than my cold ex-boss, the eldest son of the Davis family, Mr. Nathan Davis, the CEO of the company. Though Mr. Nathan is arrogant, I never heard him use abrupt language to address anyone, unlike his brother, that scumbag, Logan, who never treats anyone with respect. It had been a month since the chairman had announced this engagement, and that scumbag didn't even come to visit his father after this, let alone visit me. We never met. I never saw that man in person except for some of his pictures that the company magazine had. And I am sure that he never saw me either, not even my pictures. I heard that he lives abroad and seldom returns. I understand that it was a forced marriage for both of us, but at least he could act like a human being instead of a jerk. However, no, he won't! At first, I tried so much to be humble and talk things out with him but no...! There's no way to talk to a jerk like him. From the moment the matter of this wedding was settled, he had been persistently calling me just to threaten me, warn me, insult me, day and night. I guess I have become his only phone friend nowadays. I don't even know if that scumbag could talk normally. All I heard from him was his curses and his bull shit...! At that moment, I wanted to talk to someone. I desperately wanted someone who could comfort me. I fetched my phone and scrolled down the screen only to find the familiar number again. Anna. I need her. But as usual, I couldn't reach her. She had been on a world tour with her boyfriend, and so her phone was unreachable. It had been a month, and I missed her so much that I cried listening to the busy tone accompanying me. Taking a few deep breaths, I wiped off the tears and got up. Walking towards Dad's room to try my worst luck again. How I wish I could just cancel this wedding and pursue my dreams. How I wish I could just run away from this damn ordeal...! Just get away from that marriage, that family, and that so-called Fortune...! I knocked desperately for the umpteenth time, but there wasn't any response from him. As I pushed the door, it wasn't locked so I entered straight only to see him enjoying himself, listening to his favorite loud music using the headset. What a dear loving father...! I stared at the figure sitting on his desk, staring at his computer screen excitedly, without even the slightest care for the torture I had been through. He looked up at me and sighed. All his excitement vanished into thin air. "What the hell are you doing here, Ericka?" I felt a lump forming in my throat. I had to speak to him. "Dad..." I began, almost choking on my own words. "If it's about canceling the wedding, you can save your breath..." he groaned in displeasure. **************Author's point of view... "Good Luck, Darling" Ericka read the message from her dearest friend and despite the tension, a smile instantly crept on her beautiful face. Anna was always so supportive. "Sorry I couldn't make it but we'll have a good girl-to-girl after you pouch this job" Ericka's face lit up and she replied with a loving emoji. As she was about to keep her phone back into her wallet, another message notification caught her eyes. The smile on her face instantly faded away. "Get out of there, right now!" She frowned. It was an order from her dear husband. Unlike the best wishes from her friend, he was actually commanding her to leave the interview and get out of there. "Unbelievable!!" Ericka muttered, "What's the deal with this man!!" She had been holding up with all his antics but this was far too much. This interview was a very good opportunity for a rookie model like her. Her life will be settled. Why would he ask her to leave the interview? She w
Author's point of view... Just as Ericka was about to enter the stage, two of the employees stopped her from entering. âWeâve decided to change the order of the models at the last minute,â the supervisor announced, eyeing her oddly. Ericka frowned. She was shoved to the last, behind everyone. She closed her eyes, controlling the urge to lash out at them. âWould the next group please prepare yourselves? Youâll be up shortly. Get ready, please.â he announced to the next group. The other girls smirked, clearly getting that this entire thing was deliberately orchestrated. They shared glances at each other before rolling their eyes at Ericka. Ericka ignored their annoying before. She can't care less about them, anyway. As soon as the man finished speaking, he looked at Morgan and Mia with an adoring smile as if asking them. âAre you both satisfied with this arrangement?â They smiled back at him, nodding their heads slightly. âTotally satisfied,â Mia said with a thumbs-up g
Author's point of view... Mocking me? No way...! Ericka had heard enough of their rubbish. Morgan pursed her lips, hiding the smile creasing on her face. She assumed Ericka would be unable to bear those remarks and would leave the interview, and even if she did decide to go, she would be unable to perform effectively due to her unsettled mind. This was quite gratifying. But little did she know that the Ericka standing in front of her was no longer the crybaby. Ericka grew up to be stronger and more courageous. These three years had been so tough on her, making her resolve like a strong mountain. Instead of becoming agitated, Ericka smiled and stood firm. Ericka's height was even more noticeable with everyone barefoot, giving her the appearance of a professional model despite her status as a novice. She gave a small grin as she looked down at Mia and Morgan. That smile includes obvious derision. "Oh my god, look at you, guys, are you like... five-three or five-four? You do not e
Author's point of view... As soon as Luke parked his car, he noticed a familiar vehicle glide into the garage and pull into the VIP slot. He raised his eyebrows, amused. He walked over quickly, his eyes lighting up as he saw Nathan through the window. "Nathan, why are you here?" Luke asked, both pleased and puzzled to see him. When he called Nathan to accompany him for the interview earlier, Nathan swiftly denied and now he was here, all dressed up as if he wasn't the one who denied earlier. What's up! "Didn't you call me earlier? Isn't today the interview for the models for the cosmetic brands?" Nathan replied, a cigarette dangling lazily from his fingers. Smoke drifted up, briefly veiling his chiseled features. "I thought you would mess up so I had to come" Nathan added. Luke chuckled, "What!" he couldn't help but laugh out louder, "I had been in this for four years. Are you serious!" He couldn't believe that he was accused of messing things up. Then suddenly as if u
Author's point of view... That night when Nathan saw Ericka at the club, his face darkened. Even he never goes to those kinds of places for the shabby rules of these places hold and here she was, swaying around with her friend. Did she even know where she is? Once he saw Ericka storming out of the hall, fuming in anger, Nathan exhaled frustratingly. He should pay more attention to his wife's whereabouts from now on. The next morning was the day of Ericka's interview, and for that, she got up early, got ready and was about to leave. As she stepped out of her room, she saw Nathan sitting on the breakfast table as elegantly as ever, as if he wasn't the one to bark at her the previous day. Ericka rolled her eyes. What a calm personality!! She muttered to herself. Who would believe that this person behaves like a tyrant around me!! From the corner of his eye, Nathan caught a glimpse of her coming down the stairs. She wore a light blue chiffon skirt pairing it with a pink ha
Author's point of view... While getting out of the club, Ericka was still in a daze. Her mind was full of the flashes of that one thing, his kiss. Nathan kissed her! But why would he? He isn't interested in her as she knew better than anyone else that he wanted to divorce her. Than why?? Smacking herself out of the stupor, Ericka thought it through. There was no way Nathan was interested in her. He was just teasing her in front of his so-called friends. He might just want to show them that he could flirt with women and that victim, was unfortunately her!! She sighed as the realisation sunk in. She should be really careful to not cross paths with him in the future. What if he wants to prove something else to his friends? She can't be a victim of his actions every time! She shook her head and walked ahead. She wasn't the only one dazed though. Anna had been unusually quiet since they left the club. The frown on Anna's forehead deepened. Ericka noticed the unusual silence
