After thinking for such a long time, Justin concluded that he should apologize to her for his harsh behavior. He should clear the air between them. When he was about to say something, Fiona's phone rang.
"Hey... Yeah, it's been good... I can't skip work for my marriage, you know... Even if... I miss you guys... (With a laugh). Awe, I love you too, Mason and Emmy... Hmm... Cool, see you at seven... Of course, I have been longing to have fun with my two best buddies; as it is, it has been a while since we have hung out... Okay. cool, see you then."
In the last part, where she talked about having fun, Justin felt extremely guilty and couldn't say anything to her.
But as for Fiona, she could finally enjoy herself after a long time. Hanging out with Mason and Emily always brings a smile to her face. So today, they decided to hang out at a DJ pub and, for once, she was going to let herself loose. She is not an alcoholic, but once in a while, she drinks.
Mason and Emily are Fiona's best friends. They had always stood up for her when she needed them.
Fiona was very excited about the night, so she didn't realize when they reached Justin's apartment. She hardly had any time left to get ready, so she quickly freshened herself up and changed her clothes. Then, Fiona took her sling bag and left the apartment. Mason was going to pick her up, and, knowing him, he always came early. So, she quickly had a last glance in the mirror.
Hmm, she looks good. Without even saying goodbye to Justin, Fiona left the apartment. But she did inform Grace that she would be late or might have a night out with Emily.
When they all reached the pub, she was immediately bombarded with zillions of questions about her marriage, to which she gave them diplomatic answers. Her best friends, Mason and Emmy, were giving her cynical looks, which she ignored. Soon, Emmy dragged her towards the dance floor, and they were dancing.
Justin was hurt when Fiona left their apartment, saying nothing to him. But he knew that he deserved it as he had given her the same treatment ever since they got married.
After a few minutes, his best friend, James, called him and asked Justin to go to the pub with him. As it is, he was bored and frustrated with the turn of the event, so he agreed to tag along with him to get himself distracted. He needs to put his mind together.
Justin and James soon arrived at the DJ's pub. When they entered, Justin caught the sight of Fiona dancing with a girl and a boy. And the boy was pretty good-looking. And suddenly, he was filled with jealousy. Lots of men were looking at his wife.
Fiona looked stunning. The dress she wore looked beautiful on her. Unfortunately, a lot of guys were staring at her, and that boy was dancing with her too close for his liking. So he rushed to the dance floor and dragged Fiona out of the pub. James was giving him curious looks, but he ignored him. She was tipsy, and Justin figured that she was drunk. She was trying to get free of him, but he was strong enough to put her in the car and drag her home. Mason and Emily exchanged puzzled looks. But they knew Fiona would be safe as long as she was with Justin. Unlike usual, she drank more than she normally does, so it would be better for her to be home with her husband.
The entire ride was filled with silence. But this time, Fiona's hand was curled into a fist, and she was giving Justin death glares. She was breathing hard, and it seemed that she was trying to control herself.
But as soon as they reached home, she snarled, "HOW DARE YOU? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF?"
To say Justin was stunned would be an understatement. Fiona was clearly was frustrated and angry. So, he didn't dare to speak. His eyes were wide, and he even flinched. He had never seen her angry. Not until now.
She continued poking her finger in his chest. "WHO GAVE YOU THE FREAKING RIGHT TO DRAG ME HOME? I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. FIRST, YOU GIVE ME YOUR FAMOUS COLD SHOULDERS, THEN YOU GO AHEAD AND ACCUSE ME OF BEING A GOLD DIGGER. SO MR CARTER, WHO THE HELL GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT I WANTED TO MARRY YOU OUT OF ALL OTHER MEN IN THIS WORLD? GOD ONLY KNOWS YOU MIGHT BE A MAN WHORE LIKE ANY OTHER MAN I KNOW. I JUST MARRIED YOU BECAUSE YOUR FATHER BLACKMAILED ME. SO WHY CAN'T YOU LET ME BE HAPPY? YOU ARE A JERK.
I thought at least we could be friends, but you ruined it (she whispers). YOU FREAKING RUINED IT. INSTEAD OF GIVING US A CHANCE, YOU STARTED BEING A JERK TO ME."
She was shaking with anger. But after a few minutes, she started crying. She was going to say more. But she rushed to her room in haste, keeping her hand over her mouth. So Justin followed her behind. She was barfing. Justin instantly helped her by holding her hair up. She passed out on him soon after, so he placed her on the bed, wrapped her in a warm blanket, and left the room.
It is necessary to sort this problem out. Justin didn't want to, but he had to. He needed to clear his mind of all those jumbled thoughts and put the missing pieces of the puzzle in their appropriate place. If not, then the matter could only get worse.
Justin needs to get both of them out of this complicated situation, and that, too, very soon. And only one person could help them.
Fiona's words still stunned Justin. He sat on the couch thinking about all the things she had told him. She is the most beautiful person he has ever laid eyes on. It might sound a bit cliché, but it's the truth. This is not because of how he treated her, but because he still remembers the day when he first met her. He met his wife two months ago at a business party. He had heard about her through his father. His father, Daniel, was always babbling about her traits and sincerity towards her work. And if he gives it some thought, indeed, she is sincere and diligent. The presentation that she prepared was very promising. Fiona did her work cleverly. She has been working with his father for the past two years, but he couldn't meet her due to his work. But two months ago, Justin finally met her at a business party. Fiona looked pretty that day. She wore a red dress which fitted her perfectly. The dress was not too flashy. It was plain and simple, which looked beau
Fiona woke up with a nasty headache the following day. She was suffering from a terrible hangover. She was trying to sit up, but the pain in her head was not letting her. She wasn't even able to open her eyes. The hangover was excruciating. After a few minutes, she felt someone helping her to sit, who also gave her a pill and water. Her eyes were still closed, so she assumed it was Grace who was helping her; she willingly accepted it and drifted off into a peaceful slumber. Fiona woke up again, but at eight in the morning. Her head ached even more. She is a light drinker, and she drank a lot. That's the reason why painkillers have little effect on her body. She forced herself up, took a bath, and went to the dining area with her coffee. Only coffee could help her to get rid of this hangover. If not rid, then at least it would lessen it a bit. She took a cup of coffee and sat in front of Justin at the dining table. He was reading the newspaper and thre
Justin picked Fiona up in a bridal style and laid her down on the couch. Fiona felt some drops of water on her face. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the two worried faces frowning at her. After realizing that it was Justin, she frowned. But when she saw Grace giving her a concerned look, she asked. "What happened?" Before Grace could explain herself, Justin spoke up, "You fainted. You got us worried..." He was rambling too fast for his own good, which made him look cute. After a while, Grace interrupted him, "You fainted out there. I think it's because your BP is low. You even look pale." Fiona agreed with her. "Maybe. I am feeling exhausted and weak." She asked, "What you ate today? And you don't dare to lie to me." "Coffee," Fiona answered. Justin was silently listening to them. "Just coffee! No wonder you look pale and hungry. I cannot believe you, Fiona. A working girl like you should eat every two hours
Fiona was delighted at this moment. She didn't expect Justin to apologize to her, but she was glad that he did so. It was unexpected that he wanted to befriend her and wanted to start over. But, hey! Who is she to complain about it? She knows that his harsh behavior towards her was not acceptable, but everyone deserves a second chance. Justin was so relieved that she accepted his apology along with his friendship. Grace soon made her presence known in the room. She prepared soup for Fiona and also cooked spaghetti for her, which Fiona gladly accepted. After finishing off her food, Fiona looked way better than before, and her eyes were twinkling. She looked cute during Grace's lecture. Yes, Grace was lecturing her about how she shouldn't skip meals, to which she was nodding her head vigorously, which made her look adorable. She even lectured Justin about how he should treat her. Finally, Grace was interrupted by the doorbell. She stood up and opened th
Fiona slowly opened her eyes and turned to switch off her alarm. Her eyes were wide when she saw the time. "Holy crap! I am going to be late." She quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom. She took a bath and was simultaneously brushing her teeth. As it was Friday, Fiona could wear casual to work. So, she put on my black jeans and a casual gray top. When she ran towards the living area, she was stopped dead in her tracks. Justin was in the kitchen, cooking. When he felt her presence, he turned around to find a shocked Fiona looking at him curiously. "You can cook?" She asked him curiously. "Yes, pretty much. I enjoy cooking." Justin shrugged. "That is so cool; I would prefer to eat rather than cook." She stated. "Really, well, that's pretty unusual for a woman to say, but then it means I have more chances to cook. So it's a win-win situation for me." He cracked a grin. "By the way, what's the rush? You all dressed up." He aske
After the tour of their new home, they were both famished, so they decided to have a quick brunch at Mac Donald's. It is rare for girls to adore burgers nowadays since they have become so conscious of their figures. So, they have started to survive on salad. Nonetheless, it was unusual and refreshing for Justin to see his wife not be afraid to eat food she enjoys. 'This day could not get any better; first amazing house, then Mac Donald's. This was the very first thought when Fiona entered her paradise: Mac Donald's. "Look who we have here."Said a familiar voice. The shock would be an understatement when she turned her face. Well, guess what? Fiona spoke too soon about this day being amazing. She had mixed feelings. Shock, betrayal, hurt, anger, and the list goes on. "Long time Fiona, no see. So how are you, and who this hearty hunk beside you?" She smirked and winked at Justin, to which he frowned. She wasn't giving Justin any ki
Justin was getting impatient. He was pacing from one point to another. But after a few minutes, he barged into Fiona's room to see her silently sitting on her bed. He could see dried tears on her cheeks. So he went towards her and sat in front of her. Fiona looked at him with her glassy eyes. Then, before she could say anything, he engulfed her in a friendly hug. "Hey, it's okay. Relax, I am here with you." Justin tried to console her. Time seemed to fly by, but none of them bothered to interrupt their moments. Then, finally, they were sitting in this position; Fiona in Justin's arms, who protectively wrapped his arms around her. "I... am really sorry..." She stammered. "Hey... It's okay." Justin tried to soothe her down. He gave her a glass of water to drink. "I..." He interrupted her.
It was seven in the evening when they were almost done packing. It was because of the fact that they just needed to pack their clothes and stuff here and there. Justin's mom had already filled their new house with food and basic necessities, so they didn't have much to pack. Only Justin's office room was left. So they both headed there. They were listening to music while accumulating items and storing them in the boxes, just like in the other rooms. After keeping the last file in the box and closing it with tape, Justin stood up. He saw her in his workroom. Fiona was looking at some of his photos with a gleaming smile on her face. So he went towards her and sat beside her. Once she realized his presence, she said, " I am sorry, Ah, I saw this photo and…." Like always, Justin interrupted her, "It's okay, Fiona. You weren't committing a crime. And I won't mind sharing these pictures with you." In response, he got her beautiful smile. With each p
