STONE HEARTED C.E.O のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Fathima put dinner on the table anyways. I know she disapproved that he didn't eat at home. He ate a single piece of bread that's it. Even I was disapproving his life. He had too much money why should he work slave hours? But I kept quiet it is his life after all. I had no right to question him. Did I? I was a wife on paper.When I walked to my room I was tired. My mind is now a days in constant emotional turmoils. I had no idea why? Usually I get calmer after my periods. But I'm very restless. I had no idea what happened to me?Maybe it is because Dane was avoiding me a small voice on the back of mind reminded me. I tried to shut it up. But I know that could be a truth. We came close really close after my visit to his office. But now he had withdrawn. Maybe that was because I had hinted that he had feelings as a part of joke. How would I know that guy doesn't know to take a joke.I closed my tired eyes and the sleep evaded me as usual. A steady sleep at night is evading me. I fear it

Earlier he used to avoid me but now it is me. I take great pains to not to see him. Sometimes I see him passing and he tries to make conversation which I reply with minimum words. If he knows something he is definitely not showing. I put on my make up and curse when I find my foundation bottle was empty. Why do they provide such miniscule bottles when we have already spend half our salary on their pricy products it is the bane of our existence. I would definitely sue those firms if I had wealth like my husband.I went to the break fast table and saw that Fathima is not in her usual spirits. I didn't want a mother in law living with me in the place of house help . Speaking of mother in law I hadn't talked to Tom or Linda. They hadn't visited me. I wonder why? Maybe their equation with my husband is not that good. I don't know. Maybe he is incapable of loving his parents. Maybe he was narcissistic I have no clue. But one thing is certain I won't give myself for him to play with anymore.

"I remember that time when I caught him with his girl of the time. He was like stop disturbing us mom. The poor girl was so embarrassed I took her home", said his mom rolling her eyes."Mom that is not exactly a funny or embarrassing story at all", said Dane leaning back on his chair."I know the way you go through the woman is exactly the number of paper towels I use in the kitchen. I was scared for you. I thought you never find love", she said with a sad smile."But he did and he married her", said Tom sipping his beer."Yes and it made me happiest woman in the world", said Linda."Good for you mother because I don't want you to worry about me and lose your hair", he said with a smirk."You are annoying boy reminding an old woman of her falling hair", said his mother not seriously."I'm going to get another beer", excused my husband.I watched him go confused. Why hadn't he denied the fact that he married for love? He didn't do it for love. He did it because he wanted a child. The w

I was woken up by someone and there was a faint smell of coffee. I opened my eyes gently. I saw my mother in law smiling down at me. I sat up immediately. I have slept very late sometime early in the morning. I don't know if my husband slept at all. I heard the sound of laptop clicking away the entire time. I cried and cried silently but didn't once turn over to him. I knew I could find no support in him only accusation of not doing what he wants. I know he hates me. I hate myself too because I was so weak and pathetic to keep feelings and sex separate.If I could have I would have had sex with him. But I don't know if I ever could. I'm not that kind of person."Dane is already up and is adamant about going right away. He sent me to know whether you want to sleep in or follow him", she said kindly."No I'm up. I will go", I said already jumping from the bed."Sorry you must be tired. My son keeps early hours none of our family has that trait . Not even my mother in law from hell. May

When I reached at my work place I was greeted by our overworked receptionist. I gave her a weak smile. I had the proposal in my hand. I didn't have ta laptop which was an issue. But I'm thinking of borrowing one from Janine I saw her using one. As of now I have no time to do it. So here I'm with a handwritten proposal and hoping they like it. I'm sure Irene or Hana would never accept it willingly but I can at least try. The work was my excuse to get away from problems and miseries.I was the first one to join this time. Slowly our small committee had come to life. Irene came really late but I didn't call her on it becoming a bigger person. I'm showing her how it is done. But she might think that may be because I was a coward which is kind of True too. All in all I want this to be a fresh start. Let bygones be bygones."So what's on today's agenda?", asked Irene in a bored tone."I have made a mini proposal. It is my first time. So I just wanted to get a good grasp of things first, if
