Dalia's POV
The morning air in the West mansion smelt different. It was a mixture of oxygen and sadness. On normal days, the air wasn't pleasant but today, it was too quiet.As I packed my luggage, I figured out what made everyone like this. The only people in the house were Hera, Emily, Eros' parents and Eros- me.Eros was seated at the edge of the bed with a faraway look in his eyes. He was waiting for me to be down with my stuff. I gently stretched my back, signifying that I was done with whatever he wanted. It was time to face our married life and leave the West family behind."I am done."He got up without a word and pulled the box to a stand still. Then he rolled it out of the room while I scanned the room filled with sad memories. I have only been here for three days but none of them were pleasant.It was time to leave. "When are we coming here?""If there is no special event, considering what happened yestRelated chapters

Dalia's POV I tapped my left foot furiously as the search was taking longer than usual. Couldn't the day be any worse?! I eyed the officer as he adjusted his cap without an ounce of guilt on his face. Way to go, Dalia, on the first day of your so-called honeymoon. It wasn't anything to be happy about because I and Eros weren't exactly on a honeymoon. As the CEO, he was just giving himself two weeks while I was taking a much-needed break from the wedding stress. Like I did anything.. urgh. "My wife is pregnant." "We have nothing in the luggage." "It's just filled with our clothes." Eros used me as a cover to get out of this. I have tried as much as possible not to let people notice me because I was kind of ashamed of my body. Now, he just has to bring attention to me. I lowered my eyelids as I felt eyes bore holes into my forehead. Did he just say...? He didn't just use my pregnancy as an excuse! I though

Eros' POV I glared at everything they wore and looked for the slightest opportunity to fire anyone who fidgeted. The problem upstairs has been successfully taken care of to everyone's relief. A knock was heard and the door opened to reveal the woman from this morning. She nervously chuckled. "They did nothing wrong! Everyone was tired after a long night?" It was now I noticed that she had a bit of a southern accent to her tongue. They never did mind their business. I gave her my charming smile so that she would leave. "I understand ma'am. I hope your new room suits you now?" she could go and choke on her saliva for all I cared. She talked some more before closing the door behind her. I faced my staff who wore grim expressions. They looked better than this morning because if they didn't, I would have sent all of them home. They had families to feed so. "Let it never repeat itself again." I sneered, expect

Dalia's POV I don't know if I made the right choice by sleeping in a different room from Eros. He looked so happy tonight and sad when we said our goodnights. Poor Eros. We only spent a week in the Bahamas and then we were back to the bustling and hustling of Manhattan. So did my relationship with Eros go bland. "Let me get this straight," Emily sipped her drink one night. "The both of you have agreed to go back to normal?" I glared at Emily. She was mocking me. "Not really. We were doing so good until we crossed the border. He suddenly turned cold and I wondered why we weren't comfortable with each other's presence. Emily slid a drink to my direction. "Enough about Eros. Let us make ourselves happy. When was the last time you went to a club?" I groaned in frustration. "Like forever." I looked at my form. It wasn't club material. Emily read my thoughts because she already dragged my ass half across town, leaving n

The moment he laid his eyes on me, I knew there was going to be a big problem. His eyes were red, and his hands shook. What is his problem? "Have you decided to come home?" He asked rhetorically. I disliked his tone. I was taken aback by how bitter he sounded. Then he placed both hands in his pocket and breathed out. His breath came out in a puff of smoke. For how long has he been outside? The cold air was really something else at night. "Were you waiting for me?" I asked instead, worried about his red eyes. He scoffed. "Have you forgotten the contract? I said you must ask for my permission before doing anything! Is that so hard for you to understand?!" I couldn't take his harsh words any longer. "Why are you so upset?" He pointed accusatory fingers at me. "The fact that you chose today of all days to leave—am I making you uncomfortable that much?" My eyes widened incredulously. What is he saying now? Who knew wh

Eros' POV I glanced at the clock for the hundredth time. I had only just returned to hear from the maids that Dalia left with a friend this morning. None of them could describe who this friend was because they were too busy gossiping about the both of us. I recently hired three maids to cater to her needs so that she could never feel lonely when I am not around. Each of them had their own major duties. The first one catered for our cooking needs, the second catered for our cleaning needs, and the last one worked as her quarter maid. She had qualifications as a nurse, too. They made sure to come to the house three times a week. I threw my suit on the couch. The house felt empty without her fat frame waddling around it. It's only been a week since we came back from our honeymoon. She has been trying her best to adjust to the house and its functions. It was different from what she was used to. Every day, she asked new questions and caused trouble

Dalia's POV I pressed my ear closer to the door, but my baby bump didn't allow me to go any further. They were discussing something in there and I must hear. "You lied to me," Eros said and I was surprised at the amount of playfulness in his voice. He wasn't angry with her. "I had to! The way you were looking at me… I didn't want my composure to fall, you know." Bethany justified herself. I heard Eros sigh. "Fine. But is it true? And where have you been? I haven't been seeing you lately. There has been a lot going on and you were nowhere to be found." I raised my fist, imagining the door was Eros' face. What was that cliche line? I pressed harder. Are they having sex under the pretext of friendship? "You have a wife now. And we aren't exactly on speaking terms. You allowed her friend to plan your wedding?? I am a bit disappointed in you, Eros. If not for the fact that I have been with you for over twenty years, I would have

Eros' POV We were seated in comfortable silence, watching a silly show when the doorbell rang. I ransacked my brain, thinking of who I was expecting. No one came to mind. I glanced at Dalia who was eating peanuts. The last time I asked her to keep those damn peanuts, she had snapped at me, asking me to mind my own business. She was already shaking her head. Seemed like she wasn't expecting anyone today. It was the weekend. Last weekend we will have to ourselves before work starts. Part of me admired how strong Dalia carried herself. If her protruding stomach was evident enough, I would have thought she was just acting pregnant. The other part dreaded her simple glares and sharp words. It has become worse over the week. She needed no one's help but I saw how grateful she was when the nurse attended to her. She was truly magnificent. Even when she was silent, her face showed curiosity like she was trying to read the meaning i

Eros' POV "Of course I am!" Her bubbly laughter filled the air and I subtly breathed out a sigh of relief. I should end this conversation before it turns into something I wouldn't like. "I will have the maids prepare you something." Betty gasped. She would want to know about the woman who cleans my house every week. "Oh, you have maids now? What about the other woman who cleans the house three times a week?" I sighed, wanting to leave the kitchen. "That is her duty." I opened the door expecting to see Dalia but she was not there. I found her in the same position we left her, chewing peanuts. There was no way I could have heard wrong. She definitely scoffed. I eyed her suspiciously, expecting her vicious glares and cursing under her breath. There was nothing like that. If anything, she pretended like we weren't there. I had just instructed the chef to make Betty her favorite dish when Dalia announced she was
