Semua Bab MARRIED UNTIL MONDAY: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Third person (Narrator’s POV)Silence pressed down on them, heavy - enclosing them in its suffocating grip. She stared intently, wishing to be free, to be lost in the mist of the crowd that navigated through the cold streets of New York, to be encased in the illusion carved from happiness- yet the raw pain which stung her with every second, a reminder that she was far from anything bright and happy, told her she couldn'tHer gaze slided over to Kane, who stood afar, engrossed in his train of thought, probability on if the suspect being an insider ran through his mind. His jaw clenched so hard that she feared it might shatter into pieces; he shifted, leaning closer to the glass, his gaze sharp, calculating, fierce — unlike how it was in the hospital.She shuddered at the vivid remembrance of it. She was used to this cold, heartless and calculative Kane Callahan, not the fragile-weak one who was drowning in pain and self-blame.For the first time, he let his guard down, stripped himself

ARIAI tousled, flapping my eyes open as the sun rays welcomed me with a harsh sting. I shut them back, tossing away from the rays and into the comfort of the dark.I nudged, my lips fell open, letting out a loud yawn as I shook myself, stretching like a cat who had just awoke from a nap.An embarrassing scene, I would kill to avoid any other gaze.I turned back now fully adjusted to the blinding contrast of the room.Another beautiful day in Callahan hell holeI thought, sarcasm coated in each word.Only God knew what new twisted and partly dumb plans of my downfall awaited me.Not like my oblivion would change anything. They could bring whatever they want at me and I would squash their plans like soil under my fucking foot.Mindlessly, I dug my fingers into my rough hair, letting my fingers caress my skull in an unfriendly manner. I kept scratching; still, I was very well pleased with the damage I inflicted on my hair.I ducked back into the bed, my body still sore and aching.I did

ARIAThe silence that seconded the echo of my slap was terrifying, encaging us in its dreadful remains. I stared at him, anger boiling through my veins.Fuck him for thinking I was that fragile nimp who would cower at his sight, or be subdued with just a slap.He tilted his head, glaring at me, belief coloured his face. I ignored the pain that vibrated through my finger; his face was hard, it almost broke my fingers.“You slut!!!!.” He yelled, ready to launch yet another slap, when a hand held his mid-way. The person spun him around, landing a knockout punch that got him crumpling to the floor with his blood splattered on the tile.I froze.Kane??.KANETime stilled and every living person or thing evaporated into nothingness at Sibil's words. My step came to an abrupt halt.Heavens knew how insanely I drove here, I knew something would, I fucking knew it and this.I watched as Sibil spewed her usual nonsense.“......Bad habits run in the genes. Like mother like daughter.” She said c

ARIAKane's words revebirated like a slap to my face. The echoes still rippled through my ears.I reached out for my glass of water and gulped it down, but It did nothing to stop me from spluttering."Easy," he said running to my side.My hand flew up to stop him from touching me."I'm...fine," I choked out.But I was far from fine.Not when the walls I'd erected all this while threatened to crumble. Not when the business deal we had was threatening to turn into something more. Not when, I could feel myself sway under his touch and promises of protection.He felt... different. Different from the beast who ruined me.Different from the men who used me as a tool to win business deals. I looked into his expectant eyes. Something about them was different.He was no longer the kane Callahan I'd signed a contract with. His words seemed almost...true.I stood hastily still retching from choking. I needed to be alone. I'd rather die than walk open eyed into another Callahan's trap."Wait!"Ka

KANE“Rhea went into shock,” I told Aria weaving past her to get my keys. I grabbed them and flew straight to the car without warning. Just as I was pulling out of the driveway I heard Aria calling out to me.“Wait! I'm coming with you.“I had reservations about her going close to Rhea at this critical time but I could tell she was as worried as I was. I opened the door for her and she hopped in.The drive to the hospital was a blur. My mind toggled between hoping Rhea would stabilise and catching the son of a bitch responsible. We were getting closer to exposing them at least. I ignored the yells and loud honks from other drivers driving like a madman on rampage.By the time I parked, I could tell Aria was dizzy. She clutched her head and sat still, even after I'd gotten out of the car. Despite my hurry, I decided to open her door and extended a hand to her. She spilled out of the car without even a glance at my hand.I bang the door shut and stormed into the hospital. I had better t
