The house I was standing inside had to be one of the prettiest villas that I usually see on television. It was decorated with different flowers on the outside which had made me imagine what the inside was going to look like and now that I was inside it, I thought the building did not suit this man’s aura at all.If it had been painted in black and had no aesthetics at all, I wouldn’t mind at all.I almost doubted that it belonged to him till he had said so which I even ignored him for.“Hey, Gina,” I raised my brow unconsciously as he said to the caller.“I know you saw the news. Guess where I am right now,” he said with a smirk on his face.“Come on, I am in Bali right now.”The conversation had gone on till I snapped my brows when a statement caught my attention.“Of course, Amore, same hotel. I will be there.”He was going to meet another woman… NOW?!I didn’t say anything. I was not going to say anything till he turned to look at me and said he was leaving.I knew it was none of m
“Where is your wife?” I ran my hand through my hair as I heard my mum ask.I pointed my hand at Gina, warning her to not say anything, and then moved to the balcony.Why do I feel like I was caught cheating?Of course, I was. However, I do not need to feel that way.Why should I?“You are not answering me, Logan, where is your wife? I called her number now and it is not going through.”“Mum, I don’t know, I am not with her,” I finally answered with a furrowed brow.“Where did you go? Did you not arrive like… some hours ago?”“You should have assumed we are tired and need to rest then. What is the call for?”“Give the phone to your wife.”Your wife. Your wife. Your wife.I knew she was my wife, so I did not need my mum spelling it out to me.Whenever I had called that woman ‘wife’ to her face, it was mainly to taunt her. I knew she did not like it when I called that. No, she hated it very much and I find it more fun doing that.“Mum. Can you not…”“Don’t tell me you left her alone in
I guard my hands around my body possessively as his lustful eyes trail down my body. I felt so uncomfortable that I had to scream in his face to get out of the room.This man was not having any of it, instead, he walked over to the bed and settled on it, his eyes not leaving my body.“Don’t worry about a thing. I don’t find you attractive… okay?” That sounds like he was telling me to let go of the towel and get dressed in front of him!I sneered at his words and glared at him.“I don’t care how you see me, just get out.”“For the record, I like my women thick and curvy. You are practically so slim that I can see through your bones,” he said and pointed his hand at me.This irked me a bit. How dare he body shame me in such a manner?What? He loved his women thick and curvy? Does he think I would give a damn about what he said and get pained by it?“That is awesome, just get out,” I swallowed in anger.“I have no reason to leave this room for you, Wife. You can go back to the bathroom
I woke up as early as usual the next morning and then turned around to look at Emerald who was sleeping quite soundly for a person who slept on the floor.She could definitely sleep underwater.I did my morning business in the bathroom, dressed into a casual fit and as I was about to leave the room, I shook my head as I watched her sleep.It would not hurt if I woke her up to go to the bed, would it?I bent beside her and called her name gently. When she didn’t answer, I shook my head and looked at her face.This face was so opposite to her attitude whenever she was not sleeping.Right now, she looked so peaceful that anyone would assume she was as peaceful during the day.“You are a very stupid person and I hope you know that!” It took every bit of energy in me to not laugh at her pained, bittered word and kept mute till she was finally silent and probably asleep.There was no dull moment with this woman as she was so easy to tease and make fun of. She takes everything so seriously
I fluttered my eyes when I heard his last word and fondled my hand. I don’t have a choice?Does he need me to show him that I do have a choice?At times, I wonder how little this man thought of me to have said some words to me.If he knew I was Sapphire… if he knew how I was being treated in that house, then the disdain would be more than this.“You think?” I finally raised a brow as I stared at him intensely.“Dear wife, you have got no choice. When we get out there, I would advise you to stay on your best behavior and go with the flow. I do not want to hurt you,” he said and I sneered evidently at his words.“You do not want to hurt me? How much could you possibly hurt me? Would you hit me? Would you slap me hard across the face and…”“Don’t get on my nerves,” he cut me short.“I will do whatever I want and I do not need you to tell me what to do and what I should not do,” I said.“Emerald, you know what happens when you break the contract,” he said and rubbed his forehead.He looke
“I thought you wanted a kiss as you would not stop staring at my lips,” I moved away from her and stood upright after her outburst.Her face had turned red and I did not know if it was because of embarrassment or because she liked it.It was definitely not the latter.She looked like she was going to slap me across the face out of annoyance and I was prepared for it.Even though she was very easy to tease, she had quite a foul temper too.“Let’s go,” I finally said and resumed walking.It was after I took a few steps before she started to walk behind me.I walked slowly for her to meet with my pace and when she did I looked at her and she looked away hurriedly.“Don’t tell me you’re taking that seriously. It is just a kiss, wife,” I teased again and she threw her head in my direction.“Just a kiss?”“Is it not?” I raised a brow.“Whatever.”“Emerald,” I called and she didn’t answer me.Seems like my wife is mad at me.==As the party went on and Emerald and I had greeted almost everyo
EPISODE 21. I WILL HURT YOU.It was not something I had wanted to notice but I did eventually. Emerald has a pair of hazel eyes but right now, I was staring at something different.The pair of eyes I was staring at was almost familiar but yet very different.Those eyes fall between yellow… orange… and gold on the color wheel.I placed my hand on her chin and raised it slowly just to stare at it again. Her eyes were definitely different.She frowned and then moved away from me gently.“What are you doing?”“I should be asking you the same. What are you up to?” I asked.I don’t know if that was the perfect question I should have asked but I asked either way.Deep down, I had always thought that she was different and might as well be another person or perhaps had a personality disorder, but staring right at her now, I thought I might be right.“You are not her,” I said in a whisper and she shook her brows.“I am not who?”“You are not Emerald, are you? You are not the woman I was su
The moment I got behind the closed door, I allowed the wave of shivering that had been waiting to take over me to finally take over. My legs weakened. I fell to my knees and buried my face in my hand. When Magdalene had prepared to go to the grocery store, I offered to follow her as I was bored. I’ve been here for a week and I don’t think I have ever been bored my whole life. After the party that night, Daniel had left without a word and even Magy did not know when he was going to return. I didn’t see the need to use my lenses. I mean, he has not been home for three days and he was mainly the reason I was using it. It did not even seem like the woman was aware of it or anything. Entering the room and meeting Daniel had to be one of the most extreme jumpscares I had ever received in my entire life. I began to palpitate as my hands shook. However, when he finally mentioned it, I thought I was going to enter the ground because of the fear I was feeling. Yet, I stood on my ground.
