"Marina, I need you to leave the room right now!" He warned and as she took several steps closer to him, he took several steps away from her till his back hit the hard wall."Marina, I said leave!!!" He yelled and the next minute, he was throwing the bottle of wine that was resting on one of the unbroken glass tables in the room."I'm going to hurt you and you don't want that so just leave while you still can," Aiden warned as the beads of sweat on his forehead glimmered under the white light in the room"Aiden, I know you want me to leave but you're right. I don't listen to instructions, they're not exactly my area of experience. Now do you mind telling me what's going on with you?" Marina pressed and Aiden stared at her in disbelief."Marina, please listen to me and leave." He yelled slamming his fist into a wall and Marina shuddered.She had to leave, she needed to leave for her safety. This looked like an estranged murder scene but for some unexplainable reason, she felt like it w
2 weeks of Amira's suspension days were over and she had returned to work but she had been pretty low-key as the Juniors didn't listen to her as much anymore because she was one of the newest employees that got suspended just a few weeks after employment.To them, it was a mark of disgrace and an everlasting one at that. A new employee getting suspended not even up to a month after she resumed work, if she ever got another suspension, according to the contract...her career with the company would be ending alongside."Amira, the boss wants to see you in his office right away." One of the interns casually informed her and was about to walk away when Amira called her back for a reprimand, the girl halted shrugging her shoulders at a comment made by someone else, and then flashed a smile to someone who had complimented her dress."Are you even listening to me?" Amira yelled and the girl swiveled to stare at her while twitching her brows."Perhaps, you'd just state why you called me back.
"Mr Wellington, I don't see any need for you to come to meet me at the office, I just want to finish up some files but it would take me all night." Marina stared into the speaker but when she didn't hear a reply from Aiden's end, it confirmed that he had slammed the receiver back to its stead and was probably on his way to meet with her.All through Aiden's drive in the car, Aiden felt like his head had been clouded and it infuriated him. It took only the willpower for him to see Marina which made him not get in an accident.Anger was coursing through his veins and he realized what that meant when he caught his hands vibrating like a machine and we were unable to grasp the car wheels. Good for him that he brought his pills alongside him.Popping two of the pills, he slipped it into his mouth and chugged down a bottle of water whilst taking a deep breath alongside.Allowing his mind and body to relax for a bit, he started the car engine that he had previously stopped driving towards Ma
Chapter 39"Okay, that's nice. But is discussing it by midnight the best time to have such an important conversation?" Marina asked as she lowered her gaze.She didn't know why but she couldn't look him in the eye. This wasn't the same man that had saved her from being a total disgrace at her failed wedding and this certainly wasn't the same man that had showered her with love and care ever since she got here.He was different and somehow, she couldn't see how it linked to Amira but this weird behavior started portraying the instant she asked Amira to come over and stay at their place.Though Amira hadn't moved in yet, so she wasn't sure if Summer had agreed to let Amira move in or they had decided against it."I would choose whenever I want to have a discussion and if I say Midnight is when I want to, then midnight it is." Aiden stayed and she nodded slowly."But I'm feeling pretty sleepy right now and yeah, you were right. I wouldn't have been able to do anything at the office as I'
“I admit to the fact that I make decisions that are weird for anyone to handle but it was a mistake, thinking that I'd be home with Amira and Summer already makes me feel like my head would explode anytime soon." Marina couldn't believe that she was begging the same man who had told her a few days ago that he married her out of pity, but at this point, she couldn't care less. He took her hands in his and as his gaze pierced her like there was something he was looking for in it, something he was searching for, she exhaled sharply hoping that for now; he would forget she talked about divorcing and staying at home with her. "Too bad, I'm not in the mood for any of that. Enjoy the rest of your day." He untangled their hands and made for the door, without sparing her a last glance, he walked out of the room. She could easily go to her store if she wasn't comfortable here but then she thought to herself, how long would she have to run away from her own house? His house, precisely!
With her food in hand, Marina exhaled sharply taking hold of her self-confidence wherever it was she had dropped it and walked out of the kitchen. "Amira told me you could get bitchy but I didn't know that it would get to this point of you being a total scoundrel." These ladies—she was certain, almost too certain—would be the death of her. Adding some ketchup to the pasta on her plate, Marina rolled it up with the cutleries and began devouring her food silently as she sipped on a glass of juice in between. "Are you going to pretend that you didn't hear?" Summer's voice was playing its drum beat in Marina's ear and she was swooning all over the table trying to get Marina to say something. "Doing that had better make her feel better because if it didn't, then her attitude would be a total waste of time," Marina muttered but it was loud enough for them to head. "When did I say I'm pretending to not hear you? I heard you perfectly well but there is a list of things that stopped me fro
"It hasn't gotten to this extent, trust me.""What extent is it at now?Amira, are you really that naive? Can't you see what's going on?" Summer yelled, as frustration laced in her voice.At this point, she didn't care if she was acting like a total psycho or if anyone could hear her in the whole area, all she wanted to do was get Amira back to her senses."What do you mean by that?" Amira kept on placing the clothes that she had unpacked from her box earlier into her suitcase as her heart wasn't in conformity with whatever Summer had to say."Can't you see what Marina is doing? She's been trying to create a drift between us and no matter how hard it is for me to admit it, she's doing a very great job." Summer glared at Amira who let the piece of jewelry that she was holding fall slowly to the bed."And how dare you stare at me with all those eyes like I'm a betrayer when you're aware that everything I'm doing is for you as my friend." Amira blinked back the tears that she didn't know
Chapter 43 "Oh, the over-exaggeration. I'm sure it isn't as heavy as he made it sound." Mr Hawthorne commented before emailing his way to leave the dining when they heard heavy footsteps thudding in their direction. "My Lord, it is as heavy as I made it sound I think I said it a little more too light to stress the statement." Mr Hawthorne turned to stare at the servant like he was looking for opinions or more clues. "A reunion is it? Or a dinner date?" His cold and hoarse voice spelled out as his face came into view and Mr Hawthorne despite being a hard man who wasn't easily frightened shuddered on the spot. "What brings you here, Clergyman?" Mr Salvatore questioned looking as frightened as Mr Hawthorne as he stood to his feet impromptu. The air grew stale and the atmosphere felt choking as both men began to perspire. The ladies just sat there looking confused and so was Jayden. "Did I interrupt your meal? Cause I'll be deeply sorry if I did." The man completely ignored their ques
