“I love you” I whispered and he went rigid, his head snapped up and his blue eyes darkened. “Don’t you ever say that” he growled, clenching his fist “Why?” I asked and held his hand, he averted his gaze, staring at his former love grave. “I can’t love” he said, “I am just a zombie, My heart died with her years ago” Arthur said, pointing at the grave, he looked at me studying my face, “Just don’t say that again please” “It’s okay” I said softly, “But it just don’t change the fact that I love you. And I am ready to be a good wife” I said, Arthur gaze hardened. “That’s your problem,” Arthur said, “I don’t want you to say that, and know your place” His statement hurt, but I faked a smile, and he nodded and walked away, I stared at his lover’s grave and dropped my necklace on it. Maybe she was worthy to wear that more than I.
View MoreAs we walked into the private elevator, we both remained silent as different things ran through our mind. I wasn't a jinx, else, I would have been able to decipher what he was thinking. The only thing I was sure of at this moment was the fact that my head was running a hindered miles a minute as I tried to understand what was going on.Getting out of the elevator, we walked into his office and Arthur waited till I had gone inside so he could eventually lock the door by himself.“Okay, so I don't understand. Why was it so important that I saw this particular guy?” Arthur asked as he sat on top of his table waiting for me to give him details and I had to rub the center of my forehead before analyzing it inside of my brain and give him an answer that was reasonable.“Leia called to my attention that the guy was with Vladimir yesterday so I thought that seeing him in the company today was kind of absurd. Now we know his face, he might be one clue and lead that we have now.” I stated and A
"To be very honest, I didn't even know that he was with anyone when he walked up to me. It was in your office that u even realized that hr had some escorts with him. Is there something going on?" I asked Arthur's face and though he tried so hard to conceal it, it was quite visible."No, not really." He answered heaving a sigh as he walked to the back of his table and sat I'm his rocking chair, placing his fingers on his temple; he closed his eyes like.somene in deep thought and then I knew that there was definitely trouble in paradise."What's going on? You know you can trust me right?" I asked, my voice suddenly breaking and he snapped his eyes open."Get over there." He ordered in a stern voice and I immediately obliged.As I got to him, he turned his laptop back on and navigated to the tab that held all the CCTV footages of the company and he clicked on a particular video that was from yesterday."Here is the video of Vladimir arriving the company in his black mustang but what I
Fire bridled on our tongues as we kissed each other passionately but yet urgently. More like we had been starved of each other, every thought that had been running through my mind flew out the window."Arthur." I moaned as my eyes rolled to the back of my head while he nibbled roughly on my lower lip, out tongues intertwining in a kind of uniform arrangement."I love it when you moan my name and now, you'll listen to me explain." He whispered and for a moment, I was restored back to reality.He was doing all this so he could have the chance to explain and not because he really wanted to do it. I must be a fool to believe that he ever wanted me.I was about pushing him away when he tightened his grasp on my waist and trailed kisses from my neck down to my shoulders."I'm sorry I yelled at you at the office earlier, that one was quite personal." He whispered as he fondled with the loose rope at the back of my dress."I'm sorry you had to meet such a horrible sight when you returned home
"Wow." That was the only sound that could proceed out of my mouth as I stared at Leia without her clothes on, straddling my supposed husband.I should have known better when she declared with all solidarity in her heart that Arthur didn't love me.She knew much better than me and for the first time in a while, I felt stupid.The both of them froze, remaining immobile as we exchanged stares.The only thing Arthur did was to push Leia off his body while he stared at me with guilt filled eyes.Exactly! That's exactly what he should be feeling; GUILT!"Morgan, it's—""No, boss. You don't need to even say a thing, just go ahead and enjoy yourselves, trust me; I'm not restraining you from doing anything." I assured trying my best to keep my voice in check so I don't let the tears that were at the brim of pouring down my eyes, slid down.That would make me a total wreck and an emotions piece of shit.."Morgan, listen—" Arthur tried explaining but I just shut the door as I pressed my back to
Something about his presence made the while room tense up and I could feel goosebumps fill my skin up. I tried my vest to remain poise and maintain control as I forced a smile.“Good day sir, nice to see you again.” I greeted as I flashed my set of white, perfectly arranged teeth. Trust me, my teeth is perfectly arranged; Believe me when I say that.“Its such an honor to meet you again considering we didnt spend much time the last time we saw. Is your husband in?” He questioned and is suddenly became protective of Arthur. After all, Arthur had looked like he drank a pail of poison the first time Vladimir tried talking time“Unfortunately, I think this is bad timing. The CEO isn't in at the moment, is there any message you would like to leave for him? I'd make sure it reaches him.” I said clenching and unclenching my fist underneath the table."Oh that's such a shame. I would prefer to deliver my message to him in person so permit me to sit by and wait for him to return." Vladimir said
“Yes Kira. I just calls her Mrs Stone. Ma'am, I think you're in the best position to hold on to this file.” The guy who Arthur had briefed me as his right hand man, Liam walked over to me as he placed some documents in his hands and I smiled shortly.“Liam, we are in the company so right I'm just another of your colleagues.” I stated but this time ut was supported with a bright smile and he just scratched the back of his head, probably wondering how he was supposed to do that.“You both are very ridiculous. I knew this was your plan all along, to hook with Mr Arthur, the only part I didnt quite catch was that Liam was in on it. But let me make something clear, you can never ever qualify to be Mrs Stone. Not in this life and not in the next.” She warned, each note dripping off with a lot of sarcasm to the dge.“Yes ma'am, if you say so.” I just said stopping Liam from saying whatever it is that he was about to spew out while I walked out of the office.“Hey…” She called and I swerved
“I believe you heard my question!!” Arthur stated, punctuating each word with aver in his voice and I couldn't help but think of when he stated doing things that were in my best interest.As a matter of fact, I was trying to do my best to please him and get his mind off his late lover but this man seating across the dinning table, definitely isn't my husband. When did he transform that I don't know of?“Your secretary.” I finally said and he sat back resignedly on the chair. After staring at me for some minutes like he was studying me, he picked up his phone and punched in a few numbers.At the second ring, the recipient picked up the call and he bellowed into the speaker;“Tell Miss Kira to clear out her table before I get to work tomorrow and put up a vacance for—” He was instructing them to fire his secretary and no matter how that made warmth spread all over my chest, I didnt want the turn of events to be that way especially as I already mapped out a plan.“No, Arthur. You're not
Heads swiveled as all eyes turned to stare at the outsider who had just interrupted the meeting as I heaved heavily due to the adrenaline rush and all the running to this place which was actually worth it.“I'm sorry, sir. We would take the deranged lady out.” One of the security said as they rushed in dragging me out while I locked eyes with Alex who had his gaze fixated on me with shock.“You left the briefcase at home, I saw it contained some documents that you might need so I rushed over immediately.” I said whilst the guards dragged me out stretching forth the briefcase that I held in my arms like a newborn.“Liam, take your hands off her.” Alex growled and everyone left me immediately as he stood from his seat and approached me while other members stared in confusion as to what was happening.Of course, they didn't know I was his wife since we had a low and private wedding and I don't know if he was ready to let that public know of our marriage though it was arranged.Covering t
The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed as usual and I wondered how someone who slept so late could wake up as early as my husband Alex did and it was kind of frightening. The only thing that seemed to sit well with me as the fact that though he was a morning person and an early riser, he wasn't grumpy unless he wanted to feign it so he didn't have to talk with me which I had already gotten used to anyways.I got out of bed immediately and went to the bathroom, turning the faucet on, I scooped water and poured on my face, washing my face and at the same time trying to fully wake myself up.The bathtub was kind of heated and warm which made me know that he had probably taken his bath and was preparing for work. After washing my face, I walked out hoping to see him in the parlor but he wasn't there either and it made me all the more worried.This was clearly few minutes to seven am so there was no way he had already gone to work right?That was when I heard the soundof his car engin
