MARYLYN’S POV“I am sorry Miss Smith I did not mean too-”My eyes shot up and I glared at the woman that had just quickly become the bane of my existence.Salem Grant.She was a nobody, an impoverished little rat…her family was so far in bankruptcy that they could never crawl out of that abyss even with a six ft. long ladder.So why was Atlas suddenly looking at her with interest? He had never gotten involved with my work before, but he had come to her defense, two times in a row! I looked down at what she was wearing.She looked a hot mess.A yellow shirt with the first two buttons open, and a pencil skirt that stopped right on her knees. Her shoes looked like they had seen better days.What did she have that I didn’t?How was she able to get his attention?I sneered at her “are you blind or are you stupid?”She froze “I am really sorry Miss Smith, I did not mean to… I was just rushing to return these documents and I didn’t see you….”I cut her rambling off.“I did not ask for your s

GALE’S POVUnder normal circumstances, I would have been gutted to have been thoroughly berated by my wife’s parents in this manner.Except, these were not normal circumstances.Salem still thought that the only reason that we were married was because she owed me, and her parents did not even have any idea that we were married. But still, it was not the best feeling on the world for your in-laws to rip you a new asshole when you were just within hearing range.Salem looked like a deer caught in headlights.And it would have been funny if he did not look so cute and I found myself lost in her gaze.The next thing I knew someone gripped my ear lobes tightly “you are the one who has decided not to let my little nugget get some rest?”Salem looked mortified.“Mum stop-”Her mum only twisted my ears tighter and I hissed in pain.“I am sorry ma’am” I said.Only then did she release my ears and cleared her throat.“So, little nugget will you tell your mother the truth? Am I over working you

SALEM’S POVRejoice sucked in her teeth and glared up at Benjamin like she was looking at shit stuck under the bottom of her shoe.“Are you always this much of a busy body?” she snapped.He sneered at her, having this air of importance around him. In his mind he was some sort of emperor superior and we were the issue, meanwhile he was the one who stepped out from behind his desk and walked all the way over here to stir up trouble.I heaved a sigh “what is the matter Benjamin, we are busy” I said.Benjamin was literally the spawn of Satan, and wherever he was, I just knew that there would soon be drama.His laughter was loud, cynical and no matter how much I tried to deny it, I hated how his laughter made me feel like an idiot.Now everyone was looking over, some tried to act busy while their entire being suggested that they were eager to see what would happen. But the others, they could not give a fuck.They stopped whatever they were doing and just stared in our direction.My entire

SALEM’S POVYou ever feel like you’re drowning?It’s the feeling of falling over and over again into this bottomless pit, with nothing to hold on to and no way to know when it is ever going to end. It feels like I am suffocating, my head is banging, and my breath is short.This feeling was worse than death.But when I thought that nothing could feel worse than this, I realized that I was delusional.What’s worse is not knowing the reason for this god-awful feeling, scratch that… I knew the reason, but it just did not make any sense to me.I had been holed up in my room all day, refusing to come out and face Atlas.After that our conversation yesterday, I realized that sooner than later he was going to request answers for the reason I was acting like this lately, answers that I could not give because I did not even know myself.And so, I took the coward’s route. The only time that I opened the door was when Martha came with breakfast and refused to move an inch until I cracked the door

ATLAS’S POV“Come on.”I muttered the words unenthusiastically as I opened the car door for Marylyn.More than that, I hated the way her eyes glowed because it meant that she thought my simple act of service was more than it was. And I was not in the mood tonight to go through the whole spectacle where I had to remind her that I was never going to marry her.For one, I could not stop thinking about the mood Salem had been in before I left today, and that was really fucking with me.She was avoiding me. That much was obvious, but for some reason, I could not figure out why. And if I did not know the reason, there was no way for me to fix it.I had tried talking to her, but she had practically locked herself inside her room. Even when I stood outside her door, she refused to come out.What the hell was I supposed to do with that?I had never been the kind of man who chased after people, but with Salem, I found myself doing things I would never have imagined doing for anyone else.But wi
