Schuyler's P. O. V.I held tightly on Ezekiel's hand when he opened the door and a woman's hand quickly came flying across in front of me. I flinched and tried to cover myself, but Ezekiel was quick enough to catch her hand."Ezekiel!" She shouted with so much anger for him.When I had a clear look at her face, I immediately noticed the small resemblance that she has to my husband. I wasn't the st*pid to not know that she might be Ezekiel's mother."How dare you bring that woman here!" She shouted and even tried to get to me, but my husband quickly pulled her away from me. "Let go of me! Have you not learned anything?""Stop it, mom!" Ezekiel hissed and let go of her before he pulled me to his side. "Show some respect. You'll be meeting my wife for the first time and you want to greet her this way?""Wife, huh?" She smirked and glanced at me before she faced him back. "Have you lost your mind?!"I wanted to cover my ears for how loud she screamed at us, but that'll look insulting for

Schuyler's P. O. V."Ah, 'Risse.." I called when I saw her in the living room and receiving a massage from the maids.She furrowed her brows at me. "What?""I was wondering if you would want to join me to lunch—""Save it!" She asked the maids to stop before she stood up and went in front of me. I'm already disgusted with the fact that I have to join you every breakfast and dinner time, and now you're asking me to also join you for lunch? Ha!" She sarcastically laughed while looking at me. "Don't you have any sense of disgust in yourself, Schuyler?"I lowered my head for what she said when I suddenly felt her grabbing my hair to meet her eyes."Why? Does it hurt?" She asked when I flinched at her touch. "You'll get a lot more of that if you don't stop lurking around my cousin, you got it?""W-What do you mean?""I mean, go and divorce him now!" She snapped at me and pushed me to the corner. "I really don't understand what Zeke saw in you. I mean, you're not even from a noble family or

Savannah's P. O. V.Under a deep sleep, I felt when someone moved beside me so I unwillingly woke up and quietly roamed my eyes around.In front of the closed veranda, Ezekiel was already standing there while talking to someone over the phone. His voice was too low and I could barely hear him despite the deafening silence around us.I quietly sat down on the bed, thinking that he doesn't know that I am awake now. But then, he turned around and our eyes locked to each other. He said something more to someone he was talking to before he dropped the call and went back to bed.I brushed my eyes a little as Ezekiel sat in front of me."Did I wake you up?" He said in a low voice.I stopped moving when he reached out to tuck my hair behind my ear and I was left staring at him."Was it for work?" I asked as he continued to caress my hair. Ezekiel stopped what he was doing before he looked back at me and released a deep sigh. He doesn't seem to want to answer my question."The call, was it fo

Schuyler's P. O. V.The moon was exceptionally beautiful tonight. I couldn't help, but keep on praising it. Or is it because I was merely trying to divert my mind with the fact that I am meeting my husband's father for the first time tonight and I feel so fr*making me nervous right now.I released a deep sigh and wandered around even more. Anytime now, he'll be back home and we'll have to dine together. His wife left me here to fetch Marisse somewhere, not caring if I'll be all alone here with the maids. They all feel weird, honestly. They watch me everytime they have the chance, as if I am someone they should always be wary of.It was a good thing that they decided to leave me after some time and I had the chance to go to this backyard.There's a huge barn on the left side and a tree on the right. Although I feel curious what's inside the barn, I don't think I am allowed to go in there, so instead, I went to the tree, but the moment I did, I saw a track around it, something I didn't

Schuyler's P. O. V."Dad, let my wife eat first." Ezekiel said in an authoritative voice.His father glanced at him, matching the way he looks before turning back to me. Watching them together, I can say that their resemblance can never be questioned. They look exactly the same, just that Ezekiel has a younger feature and has his mothers eyes.Midnight blue eyes. It looks terrifyingly cold and cruel whenever he would lay his eyes on me, but dangerously menacing as he faces everyone. Or maybe, that's just really how I view it after everything he did for me."Schuyler.." His father called, snapping me back to reality. "What do you know about my son?""Dad.." There was a dangerous threat in my husband's voice, like his father just awakened something he shouldn't have inside him.But.. What do I know about my husband? I turned to Ezekiel and carefully looked into his eyes before answering to his father."He's my husband, we're married.." His emotionless face never changed as he listened
