102. She will never understand.
"If that was true. Why are you crying for him?. You believe you don't have feelings for him?." I asked. He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him.
"You can deny to me, but all I want is to stay true to yourself," I said as I stood up."Let's go home. I have to pick my stupid wife." I said as I extended my hand. He grabbed my hand and stood up. He drove me to the Lawrenson mansion but stopped the car at the front gate."You are this scared of seeing him?" I asked with a smile."Seeing me only ends up making things worse." He replied with a low tone while looking at the mansion."For you or for him?" I asked while raising my eyebrow."...For him." He replied with a small tone."I hope you find the truth soon," I said before I got out of the car."What truth?" He asked as he leaned to see my face."You'll find it... soon." I smiled before leaving the place.<Bab terkait
Married To My Rival. 103. The fort of lies.
The next day, I woke up with joy that I would get a call from Ralph telling me what happened at dinner. Did he confess.... or at least kissed? But there was nothing.'He must be busy with his work.' I thought before heading into the gym.I did my workout and got ready for the tiring and soul-piercing work. I had breakfast and hopped into the car. Martin seemed unusually silent, today. He at least greets me. As I was thinking the same, Martin turned towards me and greeted me. He's acting weird.The afternoon came and the meeting was held. All the time the meeting happened, I found myself getting constantly stared at two people. One.... is my asshole husband Adam who seemed to be surprised as he saw me showing interest in my job and the second...Mr. Brown.My skin was crawling as I saw his stares. They were like daggers and I can feel him looking at every inch of my body. God, I encountered perverts in my life but never met a combination of assh
Married To My Rival. 104. He cares for me.
The next morning, I had breakfast with mum and dad and I really wanted to meet Ralph. I was trying till later afternoon but this idiot isn't responding to any of this. I'm really angry with him now. Gosh, why is he behaving like this?. I have a plan to talk to him if he can't answer my calls. I threw my phone on the bed and walked downstairs. I was spent some time with my parents and was about to implement my plan when mum called me. "Eve. Didn't you want to meet Ralph today?" Great timing mum. She helped me a lot. Thanks for the hint. "Yeah. Can you prepare the carriage?." I asked. "I'll make it in 10 minutes." She said while standing up. It's already lunchtime so I thought of having lunch with Ralph. "Mum, can you make it two?. I'll have lunch with Ralph." I asked and she nodded her head before leaving the living room. I pretended to look for my phone and finally stopped. "Dad, I think I forgot my phone upstairs.
Married To My Rival. 105. Adam's mysterious coldness.
"Why didn't you stop him?. Ralph no one can love Martin the way you do. Your love's true, why didn't you stop him?" I asked the same question over and over. "I couldn't. I will give him only pain if I stop him. You saw me suffering from my first love..... and he's still suffering. How can I ask him to let go and love me when he's first didn't die in his heart?" He asked. "Wise words from a wise man. I wish, Martin understood you more." I said with a soft tone. "He understood me enough, to take care of me. He never told me to stop loving and I won't even if he asks." He replied while fidgeting his hands. "One side love leaves pain. I never thought Martin is this selfish. How can someone do this even after kissing?." I asked him more like I asked that question myself but Ralph didn't reply. "What was your kiss like?" I asked as I turned towards him. "What?" Ralph asked with disbelief. "A kiss can tell

After a few minutes, I got a call from Celine. "You took time," I said as soon as I answered the call. "Come on. The makeup was too heavy, I called as soon as I finished." She whined. "Fine. Listen, I met Ralph an hour ago." I said and she sighed. "Did you ask him what happened?. What was going on with him?" She said with a worried tone. "It's....." I started and explained everything. "Oh my. I never thought Martin to be like this." She said the same thing as me. "Me too. Let's see what Adam says. I guess that bastard takes his friend's side. But I'm really confused about their relationship." I said with a confused tone. "What do you mean?" She asked when I heard the cutlery sound. "When we first met, Adam introduced me to Martin as his friend. But back in the office when we were at the meeting with Mr. Brown he introduced Martin as Martin Harrison the other heir of Harrison's family. Doesn't it sound different?
Married To My Rival. 107. I did it for him.
He finished talking and we walked back to his cabin. I followed him slowly but carefully and saw him sighing and as soon as he sat back on his chair. I watched him through the glass door as he ran his palm all over his face to clear his mind. His mood changed to gloomy within seconds.What is he an actor to change his emotions?. I guess. As I watched, his gaze shifted from the computer screen to the photo frame. He halted his work and started watching it with an emotionless face. He slowly grabbed the photo frame and ran his hand through the photo in it giving a faded smile."Was he his first love?." I muttered.His face gave away emotions that showed distress and suffering. A tear ran down from one of his eyes. I was taken back, he really is suffering.I knocked on the door and he quickly wiped his face with his fingers to remove the tears that didn't seem to stop. "Come in." He said after clearing his throat. I opened the door and his face plastered the smile.
Married To My Rival. 108. Not mine anymore.
"Why love him even after years?. Didn't seeing that make your heartbreak?. Seeing him with other woman, leading a happy married life and soon becoming a parent?" I asked with a worried tone. I thought it was Ralph and only Ralph who was suffering but it's been Martin along with Ralph too. "No." He said softly."He's been through a lot. Suffered enough. He's finally happy and seeing his smile is enough for me." His words moved me."Aren't you the one whose suffering with him?. Doesn't your suffering matters?" I asked."He helped me a lot. Save me and gave me a life I'm grateful to. It's a gratitude I can give." He replied. "Then why suffer, Ralph?. Isn't your tears enough that you're trying to shed his too?" I asked when I saw Ralph's happy face in the photo."I'm keeping him distant. So, the pain of not loving back doesn't hurt him. I can't love him.... with the other in my heart. I'm sorry for all the tears I made him shed. I'm sorry." His words were soft but th
Married To My Rival. 109. I'm sorry.
"You really have no concern for others' health, don't you?" I said with a smile."Boss' orderes. He insisted on picking you up. Mrs. Harrison." He said with a teasing smile."What for?" I asked as I turned my head back into the files."To have lunch. What else?." He said as he came towards me."He didn't ask you to accompany me earlier. Why now?" I asked as I closed the flie and turned towards him."Well... your husband needs something to talk about, I guess." He said with a smile."He's no-" Martin stopped me before I can continue and came close beside my ear."Walls have ears." He whispered. I cleared my throat before I spoke."Coming." I said after looking around and stood up."What is it. He wants to talk?" I asked as we walked towards the elevator."I don't know. I know as much as you know." He said while shrugging hsi shoulders."What do you mean by that?. Aren't you his brother?" I said with a confused tone."And you are his wife." He retor

The next morning went all gloomy. Evelyn didn't even pay attention to me, not that I seek it, but still I'm her fucking boss.I hate her..... more now. Why can't she understand the mere sentence of why Martin did what he did. Fuck. The days went on and her gloominess was in rage. I let the thoughts be it too.But one day, I was in cabin doing my work and discussing the contract with Camellia when my doors were opened and I saw Evelyn coming in with a coffee cup. I sent Camellia away and Evelyn sat in front of me. I dind't believe with the next thing. She apologized to me, ha. An arrogant and head strong woman like Evelyn apologized saying it was my mistake to conclude before thinking. Great. I liked it when she was fidgeting in her seat as she apologized. I was glad Martin didn't mention any name. I wouldn't mind even if he tells my name too. It's just pople will assume bad things even worse about Martin and it's the last thing I would want. I can't afford to make him cry or suffe
