—CHRISTIAN—I fought the urge to break something, but there was nothing in my sight except for the woman who is my wife now. Though for most of the time I just want to snap her neck but it won't be very favourable for my public reputation. I raked my hair for the sixth time in the last two minutes as I struggled to get the word out of me. But I guess, apologising is not made for me. It's a foreign concept to me. But her thanking me for saving her life had pushed me into guilt for over reacting on our engagement day. A day before yesterday I met Alex and he told me about the situation he found Jennifer in that day or I might say that he blamed me for her condition and had threatened me to apologise for being an ass to her. These were his words and although I care a damn about his threat, I just can't stop thinking about whatever he had said to me and here I am, finally trying to do the unimaginable. But her growing smirk is not helping the case at all. “ Are you,.... Trying to apol
— JENNIFER—It was another day of waking up because of the devilish husband of mine. But unlike the other days it wasn't him barking over the phone but his sickly sweet smile and closeness to me in my dream. And it has to be the shitiest dream in the history of my shitty dreams. Another difference was that it was still midnight. As if last night wasn't enough to fill in the quota of my embarrassment, he had to come and scare me in my dreams also. That too, in this weird way that I think I was liking. Arghhh!! For fucking sake. My broken sleep was definitely not bringing out my bestest mood. And whenever I'm in a bad mood, I get hungry. So cursing the handsome devil and my stupid mind to have dreamt about him, I headed for the kitchen. My heart dreaded to step into the darkened lobby but a small reflection of light coming from Christian's study gave me a little relief and a pat to keep on walking. When I entered the kitchen my feet stumbled seeing a tall silhouette there. A gasp l
—CHRISTIAN— "For the furniture, we recommend exploring brands like Knoll, Herman Miller, and Vitra. These brands offer high-quality and stylish options that can elevate the restaurant's aesthetic." One of the employees who was giving the presentation, said. I was barely focusing on the screen or his words. And this is the first time in my life since I've joined the business that I can't concentrate on work and that too because of a certain brown eyed creature living in my house. "Great! What about the overall layout of the restaurant?” Someone asked as I completely drifted to the alluring flashes of last night and the words of the presentation room faded for me. The only thing I could focus on was her in my arms and her chocolate scent filling my senses. It's not like I was holding her for the first time. But the damned position was so intimate that I couldn't sleep the whole night. A current ran in my blood and some certain parts of my body remembering the way her soft curves we
—JENNIFER—“ Shut the fucking hell up. “ He growled, pressing me mercifully into the wall and him which had me wincing.“Why do you like getting yourself in danger?? “ “Ah!! Leave me. “ I winced again as a wave of dread in my spine. “ Why?? You wanted answers, com'on!! Ask now. “ He gritted through his teeth. My brows furrowed in annoyance and jaws went clenched as I tried to push him away. But his hold was stronger for me to break free. The proximity was thrilling. “ You are an asshole.” I chewed out with a glare and his angry frown disappeared instantly. His hold on me loosened as he stared at me. He pulled his hands away from my arms and placed them on either side of my head while resting his forehead against mine. I went still and all I could hear was both of our loud heartbeats and heavy breathes echoing in sync with each other as we both kept staring at each other. His strong cologne filled my lungs as I felt his his hot breaths teasing my skin. Inhaling deeply he pulled a
—JENNIFER—WHEN I didn't budge from my place due to a battle going inside me over if I should do it or not, he mouthed ‘Com'on’ and I found myself walking towards him. Thankfully his legs were getting into the way to keep me at safe distance from him as I started working his tie with shaking hands. His closeness always does stupid things to me. His eyes were fixated on my face while I tried my best to not look up and focus on the tie. I could hardly reach his neck, partly because of his height which was even more now because of the stool and partly because of his legs. But for me, it was like a blessing because I could stay at a safe distance. Now we can't trust the hulk in him when he's already angry. The phone call was disconnected and he threw the ear phone on the counter once again.“Calm down princess!! you aren't defusing a bomb. It's just a tie.“ He said, holding my shaking hands while opening his legs. Clearly inviting me to go and stand between his legs. My heart thumped
—JENNIFER—“ Thank you so much.” I said my 5389264th ‘Thank you’ while suppressing the urge to bark a ‘Fuck off’ instead in the answer of anyone's ‘congratulations’. If I had known receptions are this much shitty to tolerate, I would have never gotten married. But again, I didn't have the option in the first place. I sighed loudly when the old couple who had been talking with us left. “ Fucking heels!! “ I muttered, shifting my weight from one leg to another continuously. “ Why did you wear them in the first place?? “ Christian snorted beside me. “ Because of you, Mister. “ I accused, giving him a stink eye while pointing my index finger at him. “ Excuse me?? “ He raised both his eyebrows, demanding an explanation while turning to face me. “ Will you be okay with the news highlighting my comfy cheap sneakers paired with this expansive charming gown?? “ I squinted my eyes at him. “ If I was you, I wouldn't give two fucks about news over my comfort. “ He answered, stuffing his h
—JENNIFER—A woman in her late forties dressed in an expensive dress and a complimenting handbag was walking towards us like a Queen. A big smile spread on her lips as she kept her eyes trained on Christian. I sighed in annoyance. “ There we go again.” I suddenly winced in surprise when Christian grabbed my arm harshly. “ Let's go!” He said while taking a step in the opposite direction from the woman. “ Wha- No. It's rude. A thank you wouldn't take much. “ I said, trying to free my arm when my eyes caught his face. His jaws were clenched and the vein in his forehead was ticking like a time bomb. His eyes were deadly glued on the woman, coming towards us. “ Is anything-“ How are you, Son? “ Before I could ask, the woman was standing before us with a big cheeky smile. “ Won't you introduce me to my daughter-in-law?? “ She asked him and my face snapped towards her at the speed of light. Daughter-in-law??I turned to Christian who didn't say anything but his glare was clearly scre
—JENNIFER—My cheeks turned red because of all the unholy thoughts that had been trying to enter into my head since he invaded my personal space. Or might I say, he made me invade his personal space. I couldn't even move and just stayed frozen in my place as he rested his face into my neck while hugging me. “ You are impossible!!” He spoke up after a minute or two and seemed to return to his normal state. “ What?? “ I asked, confused by his comment as he pulled himself back and faced me. FROM CLOSE!! I didn't know where to look. His eyes were distracting and his lips were distracting even more. Don't even get me started with the protrusion on his throat. Kill me, please. “ You were just telling your husband about your thousands of crushes. “ He gave me a look of disbelief and in a hurry to distract myself from his features, I didn't realise my next words before they were out. “Why?? Are you jealous?? “ I clamped my mouth shut immediately and looked away. I could feel his hot
