"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 thRelated chapters

"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

"Why is she sleeping here?" I asked as I removed my neck tie."Madam was waiting for you, Master." I didn't believe what the maid said for a moment."Did she had dinner?" I asked as I unbuttoned the cuffling."Madam said she will have dinner with you." The maid said."Okkay, heat up the food." I ordered and the maid left after bowing. Why was she waiting for me?. Did something happen?. Did her parents came home that she's acting like my wife?. God, if not then why is she acting this way?. I walked towards her and kneeled in front of her. To up close, she does look beautiful. She's annoying and arrogant but pretty. I give that. I stroked her hair and she mumbled something in her sleep. I smiled on her childish personality. I stiffened when I realized what I was doing."God damn it." I cursed in a whispering tone. I gently patted her shoulder but she didn't respond."Evelyn." I said as I shook her shoulder. She goraned and opened her eyes. She got up and immediately

"Fineee." I sighed."Guys, the ad shoots over. Let's have a treat, the lunch's on me." I shouted and everyone cheered."See, told you it's a good time." She said. Too confident hu?."Well, not really. Get changed." I said before leaving the place. I walked into the changing room and found Martin waiting for me."What are you doing here?" I asked as I started removing the make-up with the remover."Waiting for you." He sighed."What happened?" I asked as I turned towards him."Nothing. Just had a busy day." He replied still with a dull tone."Everyone are having treat at te restaurant. Come on, it will lighten up the mood." I said as I took my clothes and walked into the other room to change my doutfit. I wore my suit back and came out. "Come on." I patted his shoulder as I made my way out. We all.... I meant the whole company went to the nearby restaurant and we started having dinner. We had lunch and I paid the bill before we came back."When will we

"Coming." I head an old man's sound. After a minute, I saw the door open and saw Ron standng in front of me."Hai, Ron." I greeted."I was waiting for you. Come in." He said with a warm smile and I replied with a nod before I started walking in. I made myself comfortable on the couch and Ron gave me some water."Thanks, Ron." I smield as I took it. He sat on the chair in front of me."Where's Martin?" I asked as I looked around."He's in shower. He was acting weird for quite a few days. Even today, he ran downstairs almost tripping on the stairs and told me that you were coming and rushed upstairs." He explained. I chuckeld softly but that weird acting, it feels strange. He acted weird today, I agree. But why is he acting weird lately?."Weird?. Can you explain why?" I asked as I leaned a bit forward and looked at Ron."Well-" His words were cut off by Martin."Adam. You came early." He said as he walked towards me."The traiffc was less. Why are you i

"No, no, no. I'll do it." Ron said in a hurry and took the t-shirt from my hands."It's fine, Ron. I'm bored anyway." I smiled."But-" I stoped even before he can continue."I insist, Ron." I added and that's when Ron kept silent."Where did you sent, Martin anyway?. He's taking more than an hour to run errands." I chuckled as I started folding Martin's track pant."He's always liek that. Late and lazy. I'll make a call." Ron sighed in disappointment and grabbed his phone to make a call."Martin?. Where are you?" He started calmly."Why the hell are you taking so long to buy vegetables and meat?. Come quickly. Will you eat lunch at dinner time?" He shouted. I thought the call starts with this expression. I smiled as I listened to Ron's yelling at Martin. They haven't changed a bit. I shook my head thinking that. I grabbed a white shirt to fold but the size...... it's not Martin's. It's not mine either, Martin wears my clothes when he comes to my place, he never

"You're lying." He said slowly with an almost inaudible tone."It's true. Wy do you think it's a lie?" I asked."He can't move on easily." He siad while shaking his head sideways."Come on, buddy. You can move on, that doesn't mean he can't. He may already found someone else." I siad as I shruged my shoulders casually."Ralph will never move on." He said with a bit angry tone."And how can you say that?" I said with a pissed tone playing along."I just know." He replied soflty."I never thought you were naive. Ralph needed company till he got over his ex. So, he tried you. You told him to move and he's doing the same." I know they were wrong and I'm sorry Ralph. I don't mean anything. It's for your happines and so does Martin's."He's not like that." Maritn's anger came abck."And how cna you say that?" I asked as I folded ym hands towards my chest as I leaned my back towards the bed's head rest."I know how he is." He said clenching

Gosh, why is he this perv?. Even his looks stab me and give chills to down my spine. I was trying to go away but how can I?. He's the company's life savor, I need to act good for him. This project's important to Adam, I can't let him down. But, wait a second, why am I even bothered to think about him?. Why do I have to try hard to make him not to get down on company work?. Geez, this whole marriage shit is driving me crazy. I have to clear my mind. By the time, I finished thinking Adam came into picture saving my ass..... again. He sent me away for work, but even then he talks sweet.... I really wish Adam's this way with me even in the absence of Mr. Brown. But why the hell am I bothered about him anyway?. I tried my best to walk in those baggy clothes and not to trip and make more fun of myself. I went back to my cabin and the first thing I did was taking off the ridiculous coat from me. Looking at that stupid coat I got an idea. I was imaiging the ways to fix the dress, when I hea
