“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
Unknown Man's Pov ~~28 years ago~~ "I'll be leaving for school now mum," I said while waving to my aunt as I was dressed in my new uniform and had my bag strapped on my back. "Where do you think you're going, Young man?" She asked putting on an irritated expression. "To school," I answered straightforwardly though I knew somewhere beyond my heart that problem would break out with my aunty glaring at me like that. "Young man, you had better go and pull off all that trash you're putting on and get back to house chores because I hope you're aware of the fact that no one is paying your fees." My uncle burst and I know this is the kind of situation that would make a teen break down in tears, well cheers to us that always have a plan B. "I don't need anyone to pay my fees." I declared dreamily with excitement written all over me. "Yeah, see...I was right when I said he wants to be a thief." Ophelia scoffed and I wished I could roll my eyes to her as. much as I wanted to but I c
Mr. Hawthorne and Mr. Salvatore approached Claw, their faces etched with worry as he kept explaining things that belonged to the past. "Claw, please, you have to leave," Mr. Hawthorne urged, his voice low and serious as he glared at Claw who just sat relaxed on the chair in the dining. "This is an engagement dinner for my son, Jayden, and Diamond, Salvatore's daughter. Your...reputation could ruin the evening and this isn't the best time for you to come here. Whatever you want to share with me, you can do that later." Mr Hawthorne urged as his eyes accessed Claw's cold and domineering ones. Claw, a rough-looking individual with a mischievous glint in his eye, smirked. "Oh, come on, Hawthorne. I'm not that bad. I promise I won't cause any trouble. I just want to talk and maybe eat." He stated as he smirked and locked the gaze between him and Hawthorne. Mr. Salvatore, his eyes pleading, added, "Please, Claw, listen to us. This is a night for celebration, not...not whatever it is
“Good morning Marina." Marina heard both women greet them immediately she descended the stairs and she couldn't help but roll her eyes in disgust. She was already fully dressed and ready for work because Aiden had left for work even before she woke up. With the days passing by, Marina got more and more frustrated as she began to see less of her husband each day and the act made her as furious as she could be. She tries calling him but if he ever picked her call up then she'd have to spend at least 30 minutes dancing to a victory song. "How convenient. My day is ruined just by seeing both of the scowled faces on top of the morning." Marina commented and she walked over to the water dispenser and drew a cup of water that she had to swallow down in one go so she at least hang on to the humanity that she thought she still possessed at least. "Oh, you're not happy to see us. I suppose not." Amira chuckled as she put on her second strap of earrings while Summer helped arrange her dress
"John, can I come in?" Samantha beckoned from outside of his office closed walls and doors. That was a plus for Marina as she believed that every worker was entitled to their personal space unless the ones who loved to be a pest naturally so she made each of them have their own offices."Miss Samantha," he called as he unlocked the door from the inside and she flashed him a very bright smile, "Is there anything I can help you with?" He questioned and she cleared her throat before smiling again and answering the question. She was more than prepared for this."Yes, there's a way that you can help me but I'll also be helping you out too so it's a fair business proposal to me. May I come in and state it?" She asked and he nodded before pushing the door wide open so she could come in while he shut the door."John, what I'm about to tell you is top secret and I can't risk anyone hearing of it by mistakenly coming at the wrong time and opening the door abruptly. Please, can you lock it?" She
