Semua Bab I Hate You, Hubby: Married To My Father's Killer : Bab 31 - Bab 38

I shouldn't be mad at Diego for sleeping out. We weren't like every other couple who married for love. Well, not all couples, but most do... Maybe a few. Glancing at Matteo's wife from the corner of my eyes, I noticed she had an amused expression on her face. I forced a smile. "Did I over-talk?" She chuckled, shaking her head. "No. I like you already. If you'd said that you were living fine with Diego, I would have dismissed it as a lie. Diego can be really, really annoying," she said, placing emphasis on the 'really, really'. And she wasn't wrong about that."It just sucks," I pouted, taking time to admire her kitchen set-up. "There's no marriage that is a hundred percent flawless, okay? You just have to embrace each other's flaws and make the best out of it," she advised. Lowering her voice in a whisper, she added, "Even Matteo can be frustrating sometimes." I puffed out air from my mouth, letting out a deep sigh. "I don't think there's any need to get used to it since I'll be

For a moment, my body felt numb. I just remained in his arms, stiff."Push him away, Ellie!" My mind screamed. That was my intention, but my arms became too weak to move. My eyes snapped shut, savoring the impact of his lips on mine. I didn't kiss him back, but I didn't push him away either. "Oh my God!" I heard Anne's voice and that seemed to snap me out of whatever spell he had used on me.I pushed him away, and he landed on the other side of the bed. A groan escaped from him, but I didn't care. Standing up in my defense, I tried explaining it to them in case they got the wrong idea. "It's not what you think. We weren't kissing, he was trying to....remove dirt from my eyes. Why would he kiss me?" I jumbled up nonsense, blurting out whatever came to my mind.I darted my eyes between them, scratching the back of my hair nervously. "It's really not what you think," I muttered."You're so funny, Mrs. Fernandez. Why are you trying to explain it to us? What's wrong with a husband kissi

Marley's eyes glimmered with interest, he took a few steps closer to me. "What do you mean by Diego is sick?" He inquired, with a raised eyebrow. "That's all I've got to tell you," I replied, not wanting to give in so much detail. I hated Diego and I wanted to get revenge, but Marley doesn't seem like the right guy to tell all of those. I'd rather keep it to myself.He used a finger to raise my chin, making sure I maintained eye contact with him. He squinted his eyes, staring at me intensely. "Are you being serious? Remember, it's your mother's life on the line."I swallowed hard, averting my gaze elsewhere. "Stay away from my mom," I muttered."That depends on how you act, Ellie. Go ahead and tell me everything you know. Don't skip even the slightest detail, I want to hear everything," he urged me.I sighed deeply, feeling regretful and helpless. What had I gotten myself into?"I stumbled across a file in his study room. It's a diagnosis note from the doctor. I didn't get to read t

DIEGOMy gaze darkened as I entered the conference room. The first person my eyes fell on was Marley, who was standing in front of the board of directors. Our eyes met, and he paused, his eyes grew wide in surprise. Sure, he hadn't expected my presence so soon. I returned his shocking look with a faint smile.Marley swallowed hard, the corner of his mouth twitching like he was searching for what to say. He finally uttered, "Look who we have here. I never knew you as the type who would come late for important meetings like this. Did something happen?" His lips curved into a seemingly genuine smile, but I knew better.He added, "Or have you always been naturally irresponsible?" His words were harsh, but his smile didn't waver. That didn't make it less taunting. Rather, I'd say he sucked at it—trying to play a nice brother while dragging me through the mud and staining my image. "Thanks for looking out for me, brother. What matters most is that I am here now," I replied plainly, turn
