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
Both of them woke up early and did their usual morning chores. Aaron came in the morning with his stuff. So they helped him to set up his new apartment. Soon after lunch, they bid their last goodbye to Aaron and Justin's old apartment. After a few minutes ride, the couple reached their new place. The house was the same as they saw it last time. It took them a few hours to explore the house properly and unpack the boxes. When Justin saw Fiona walking towards the guest room with her clothes box in her hand, he stopped her. "Hey! Where are you going?" "Another room." She said casually. "Um, we need to keep our clothes and all the other stuff together in the master bedroom." Justin told her. Her eyes were wide, and she looked confused. So he explained to her further, "I mean that I see that my parents like to have unexpected visits and not only my parents, but if anyone comes here, it will be difficult to explain why our belongings
