—JENNIFER—And when exactly has my fate sided with me?? Never. Duh!! I clenched my jaws seeing Christian walking towards us with Alex by his side. All my prayers and bargains of not reading smut and eyefucking the hot guys ,with God and his angels went into vain. At Least you got saved from the deadly promises!! My conscience giggled and I shooed it away focusing on the devil in front of me. His eyes met mine with the matching glare that I was throwing his way. But we got interrupted by Matthew. “ Where the heck were you two?? “ He barked, stepping towards the guys. “ We were caught up in something urgent. Let's get it over with. “ He said and without giving anyone any chance to speak or even think, he entered inside the Lawyer's Chamber leaving us all with hung jaws. “ This stupid goblin!! “ I hissed, stomping my feet on the floor. “ I literally thought he ditched you. “ Cally whispered beside me. “ I wish he would. “ I gritted the words out and followed everyone inside. T
— JENNIFER—Saying goodbye to Alex, Anya and Mathhe, I followed Christian towards the same Black Mercedes that I once had the urge to break. I didn't expect him to open the door for me like a gentleman, and he didn't disappoint me. Walking towards the driver's seat, he climbed in and sighed before getting inside. I doubt he would wait for me to get in and won't drive away. The car ride was silent, scaringly silent. And since I'm not a very fan of silence, these were the hardest fifteen minutes of my whole existence. My tongue was itching to speak but the human rock beside me didn't even glance to check If I was alive or not, even if I was present beside him or not. The devil he is. Only when the car entered inside a society and he parked it, my soul reentered in my body. At Least I can talk to the walls of his house now!! He climbed out of the car and just like a gentleman that he is, headed towards the lift without waiting for me. He even left the car unlocked so that he wouldn
—JENNIFER—“ He left?? “ I asked in disbelief. “ I, er… yeah. For A week or more maybe. “ She explained further, hesitantly and I couldn't do anything except stare back at her. “You were sleeping so he must n't have wanted to wake you up. “ Of course!! She tried to explain and make the situation a little less embarrassing for me. I scoffed mentally at myself and nodded towards Mary before taking a seat on the dining table. Eating the dinner in silence I stood up with my dishes. “ I'll take them. “ Marry said before coming and taking the dishes from me. “ Er, Marry!! Since I'm alone, can you stay the night?? “ I asked, making her turn and face me. “ I'm really sorry Mrs. Brown but I've a two-year-old daughter at home. I can't leave her alone all night. “ She gave me an apologetic look. “ Oh, it's alright. “ Saying that I headed back to my room and called Cally. She picked up at the sixth ring and barked sleepily. “ Missing me already, bitch?? “ “ Actually!! Can you come over?
—CHRISTIAN—I drove my car straight towards Dad's office with clenched jaws and white knuckles. This woman never leaves a single chance to piss me off. The fury in those chocolate orbs and the sharpness of that tongue of hers is driving me crazy. And definitely not in a good way. I might have killed her if she hadn't closed her door after saying those words. The audacity!! I choked the steering wheel, thinking it's her neck, nearing Dad's office. Finally I'm going to get what's mine, what I deserve. Parking the car, I climbed out and headed inside his building, only to meet with so many smiling faces. As soon as I entered inside, a small blast happened, making me hault in my tracks. "Surpriseeeeeeee" Everyone shouted together as the confetti rained on me, filling my hair and clothes.I looked to find the whole office gathered In the office entrance. As they parted sideways, a big cake was revealed with ‘Congratulations’ written on it. Another reminder of my doomed life. My anger
—JENNIFER—I was a little disheartened when he left me here all alone, until I realised that HE LEFT ME HERE ALL ALONE, with my books, his balcony, his terrace, his fridge and his househelp. Like damn!! I always had a regret of spending so much money on my food since I didn't know how to cook and mom would get pissed at my unhealthy eating habits. And now, I had Marry here to cook for me and the saved money I would spend on my books. Isn't amazing. It's been six days since I got married and my Husband Dearest left me here to die. That's what he must have thought. Hah!! But these days has to be my best fucking time period. The days would be spent in university and after coming back, I would explore this bigass luxurious penthouse. Ah, the balcony. I had spent most of my time there only, with my books and chocolates. I would call Cally and Anya even Alex over here to accompany me and we all would have so much fun together. When they got to know about Christian leaving me, they we
—CHRISTIAN—SIX PEACEFUL DAYS, without any mention of marriage or my wife. What more could I have asked for in my life after this torturous time period of getting reminders of me being tied to her. I finally felt a bit light after a long while and because of it I could focus on my work here. The only way I feel relaxed is doing my work in the best way and having it successfully done. After working my ass off for all these days, finally the deal with Walkers, London's most influential name in the food industry, has been locked today. This merger between the two companies for a project was hell of important for me and finally I can sleep peacefully tonight. Right now I was in the hotel, where a party to celebrate the finalisation of our deal is being held. “ Cheers to the new beginning!! “ Devis Walker, the CEO of Walkers Group, raised his glass in the air to give a green flag to the celebration. We all chased his action before sipping our drinks. “ Alright,your business avtar is a
—JENNIFER— I spent a perfect weekend with Cally, Anya and Alex while watching movies and eating junk before all of us started to drift away to sleep. It was past 1:00 A.M. when my stupid, inconvenient stomach chose to growl loudly. Sighing annoyingly, I looked around to find all the clowns sleeping peacefully on the floor with their backs resting on the couches behind in the living area. My stomach growled again making me snort as I got up and headed toward the kitchen. I had just exited the living area and was about to enter the kitchen when the voice of clicking the door knob landed in my ears. My eyes snapped up toward the main door while my body froze in its place as a tall figure appeared there. My overthinking mind couldn't help but think of the worst scenario possible which had me standing there with a hitched breath. A thief?? Possibly!! The amount of money Christian Brown makes, it's not hidden from the world. From thieves, definitely not. The first thing that came to
—JENNIFER—I waved a bye to the trio with a hammering heart as the door to the elevator got closed, making them disappear. If only I could just go with them. I couldn't muster the courage to go back inside and face the person who's my husband now. It's been one week since our marriage but his absence kind of made me forget the reality that I'm married now. That too, to a person who hates me. Not that I've any different thing in my mind for him. “ Are you planning on sleeping outside?? “ Hot breaths hit my neck, making me jump at the sudden intrusion in my thoughts.I unconsciously turned back to face him and found him breathing down at me. His dark eyes staring in mine as if trying to make a way to my soul. His one brow was slightly raised and head tilted sideways.“ No. “ I mumbled before taking a step back then walking past him. Or, I tried. Because before I could, he caught my wrist and next I knew that I was pinned on the wall. His both hands were holding my wrists, not so tig
