"If you aren't ready in thirty minutes, I'm leaving without you," William says, forcefully slamming my room door behind him.William didn't tell me where we were going but I had prior knowledge that tonight was Ethan's birthday. He already told me a few days ago so I had enough time to get him a gift.I quickly curled my hair and slid on the light blue A-line gown. With my heels in hand, I hang my purse on my shoulder and pick up my gift as I rush to meet up with William just in case he truly decides to leave me behind.I get in the car with a few minutes to spare. I secure my seatbelts as William speeds out of the driveway to where Ethan's birthday is taking place.I slid on my heels and watched as the scenery went by. A couple of minutes later, we finally arrived at the venue which had me dropping my jaw.Ethan's birthday was taking place on a yacht. The yacht was by the dock, the bright lights on, giving it the allure of a party. William walked ahead, his face stoic as he boarded
William's P.O.V."Where are you off to?" Luke asked, walking into my office as I got up to leave."It's Ethan's birthday today. I can't afford to miss it with the multiple messages I've gotten from him.""Oh, that's today." He replied walking to my desk. "I just came to drop these, you can read through them tomorrow." He says placing some files on my desk. I nodded in agreement and we both walked out of my office together and parted ways in front of the elevator. I got off the elevator, unlocked my car, and began my drive to my home.I decided to park the car In front of the gate since I would be leaving again soon. I unlocked the front door and shut it behind me as I made my way upstairs to remove my work clothes. On my way to my room, hearing voices from Bailey's room, I paused in front of Bailey's room door and pushed it open, standing at the doorway. "If you aren't ready in thirty minutes, I'll leave without you," I said, slamming the door as I walked out of the room.A little u
Bailey's P.O.VI laid in bed, not in the mood to get up as I stayed recalling all that happened the night before, I couldn't think straight. I found it hard to fall asleep as I kept on tossing with my jumbled thoughts.Suddenly, I heard the sound of William's door closing and a few minutes later the sound of his car resonated in the building as he drove off to work.I still didn't move a muscle thinking perhaps I would fall asleep after an extra hour of tossing, I finally got out of bed and walked timidly into the bathroom to do my morning routine.I exited my room pausing on the stairs at the sight in front of me. Ethan sat at the stairs, His head raising at the sound of my footsteps. He stood up, making eye contact with me as he tucked his hands into the pocket of his slacks.How didn't I hear his car pull in? I thought, maintaining eye contact with him."Bailey." He utters."How long have you been seated here?" I ask curiously, not taking a step from where I stood."Not long." He s
I walked back to my room in a hurry, throwing on a pair of jeans and a graphic shirt. I rummaged through my bedside drawer for the visitor card I was given whenever I wanted to visit the office and my phone as I dashed out of the house, ordering an Uber.The Uber arrived not long after and I got in, thinking of how I was going to go about it when I got to his office, I was nervous. Would he even want to see my face? I wondered what exactly Ethan said about me that got William this cold and mad at me. Once the driver stopped the car, I hurriedly paid him as I dashed straight into the building. I went straight to the elevator. The security guard stationed there didn't stop me since he already knew who I was. I nodded at his greeting as I pushed the button for William's floor, the ride up seeming longer than normal.I released a breath as I walked out of the elevator, heading for Henry's desk."Mrs Armani," He says, greeting me as I approach."Bailey. " I said correcting him and smilin
CHAPTER 154BAILEY'S POVI was so annoyed with Williams, I don't know why he wouldn't just listen to me. I hadn't expected him to lash out at me just like that. He didn't even bother to give me a breathing space or even try to hear me out, he just kicked me out like I was nothing.My mind darted back to Ethan and everything that he said to me. I didn't want to think about it, but it was hard not to, especially with the fact that we had a massive fight yesterday. I can't believe he told William about that night.I knew that we had been together in the past, but that was just a one-night stand and nothing more and I had honestly thought that we had both moved past it, but now I'm torn between it all and there was William. “Arghh!” I groaned loudly, the thoughts were gonna make me go crazy.I quickly shrugged off the feeling of dread, reminding myself that he was probably drunk and whatever the case may be, he was still William's cousin and there was no way in hell anything would happen
WILLIAMS POV"What the hell is going on here?" I asked, after seeing the closure between them. It was rather unusual and suspicious because this was not the first time I had seen them in such a manner.They immediately disassembled and I could see that she was very embarrassed with the look on her face but I was annoyed at her behaviour, first she invades my privacy yesterday ranting about how she wants to tell me something, now she is here hugging my cousin in my fucking house. I agreed that this isn't a real marriage but that doesn't give her the right to hit on another guy after all we've been through especially not my relative."Um," Ethan spoke up. "We both were just discussing something which led to a hug. It's not what it looks like."He explained it all to me and I pretended to listen attentively like I cared about the shit he was spewing. "I think you've overstayed your welcome Ethan, it would be better if you left."He tried speaking up but I gave him a look and he just took
BAILEY P.O.VMy phone rang again for like the one-hundredth time, “Arghh,” I groaned loudly. I was so fed up, William kept bothering me with calls and There was no way in hell I would let him get away with all the horrible things he said to me.My phone rang again and I just couldn't take it, he was irritating me. I just couldn't handle the pressure that he was putting on me. I brought out my phone and switched it off once and for all.That'll teach him.I can't stand his arrogance right now, so what if I slept with Ethan, it was months ago and it didn't mean anything he had no right to say those things to me. I was so fed up with everything, there is so much of his horrible attitude I can take and right now he was the least of my problems.I wanted to clear my head a bit and after what had just went down, Williams's house was the last place I wanted to be. I felt so suffocated.I was about to cross the road to the other side when a blue car pulled over. I was confused as to who it wa
WILLIAM’S P.O.V"Please make me my usual coffee," I said to Agatha who was not too far off from the kitchen. It was an early day and I had to leave very early for work."Ok and good morning to you too," she greeted me and left to make me a cup of coffee. I waited at the dining table for her to bring when she was done making it, my attention was diverted when I noticed Bailey.She was still dressed in her pajamas and I couldn't deny, that seeing her morning hair attracted me a little bit but I just tried my best to ignore it, acting like it was entirely nothing to me."Good morning," she greeted but I just responded with a small nod. She didn't pay regard and just walked off into the kitchen.I didn't say much because I was still thinking about yesterday. She slapped me, walked out on me, and also dared to come back acting like it was nothing and I was the one overreacting.I acted like I didn't care when in fact I so fucking pissed that she did what she did. She came out a few minutes
