Done with his selfish actions and intimidations, I decided to not see him at all so I kept my distance throughout the party.“Goodbye. Take care.”We bid our last guest, sighing in relief that this fake event, all his efforts to clear this ruthless image worked well and everyone believed that he changed.Because of me.“Bless you guys. Bye.”The second we were alone in the main hall of his enormous mansion, we rolled our eyes, tired from his event.“Tsk.”Turning, I grabbed my dress and turned to leave but he grabbed my arm, sending a shiver down my spine, worrying me about what he wanted now.“Now, where the fuck do you think you are going?”His low, warning tone came and I was too tired to confront him at his point. Returning a glare, I tried to leave my hand.“Leave me.” “No.”Not caring about his hard grip over me, he began to drag me with him to our room. I growled at him, how ‘affectionately’ he was acting and the second the party ended.He came back to his usual ruthless self.

Finally, after bearing that shameless motherfucker in my office after he took away my wife, I was going to teach him a lesson he would remember for the rest of his life.I got my deal now I would start my revenge.“Are you Jared Raz?” The cops came to my enormous workplace. Though it was heartbreaking for me to have them over yet I bore with it.“Yes. What can I do for you, Officer?” He smiled, looking up at them. With that damned smile with which he stole Veronica.“Jared Raz. We have an arrest warrant against you in case of money laundering.” He spoke seriously, dropping his smile.“What?! This- This has to be a mistake. I have been loyal to this company for the past five years. I didn’t do anything.”A dark smirk came to my lips as I leaned on the wall against my shoulder from afar. In my white office shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbows, indulging in the pleasing view.“Sir, please don’t create a scene and come with us quietly.”But a scene was made, everyone saw and they took him

Before I knew it, time passed quickly. It had been two months of our marriage and things were how they were on the first day. Nothing changed. I was not dying to rush into things either so for the time being, I continued to work. I came home early after work and when I was about to enter, I heard Saafia's sister speaking on the phone. “Come on, Saafia. It’s been two months since your marriage and you are still where you started. Heck, you don’t even call him by his name.” “I don’t want to. I will speak his name when I feel safe with him. I don’t. He scares me sometimes.” Well, I won’t deny. I could sense her fright as well most of the time but decided to not react and listened further. “Why don’t you end this?” Her sister offered, bringing a scowl on my face. Like I would let it end this easily. “No. Why would I? I gave him a year and I will complete it. I don’t back away from my words.” My rage faded instantly when I heard it. Finally one thing in common! We both are stubb

“That is none of your damn concern.” My body froze when I sensed his presence behind me. A terrible shiver went down my spine when I sensed his wrath and the glare he sent in my direction.Gulping, I turned and saw him. In his white office shirt, his sleeves rolled roughly and two buttons opened with slightly scattered hairs, indicating he was already stressed.And I enhanced it.“Mr. C-Cannedy?” Calling worriedly, I got up quickly.My heart began to pound. As much of a possessive man he is, I knew he wouldn't take it lightly. Coming closer with an intimidating aura and dangerous eyes, he walked up to us. His hands in his pocket, emitting a dominance I had never seen before.“B-Boss, she called me. I swear, I-I didn’t do anything.” Jared stammered, rising from his seat, losing his breaths in horror.His fatal eyes traveled to me. My mind stopped functioning, my heart pounded rapidly, brimming tears in my eyes as I moved back.“You are coming with me.” He growled in a low, deadly voi

DARIEL’S POV‘Now I think she did the right thing by leaving you!’ Shut up. Shut up.I grit my teeth when her face sobbing, hitting my chest came to mind. My jaw clenched. I was in the hall, my one leg resting over the other, opening another button of my shirt.I was already stressed because of work and my image I ruined by sending my employee Jared to jail and coming here, I ended up frightening her as well.“Uh… Sir?” Sam called, noticing the stern expression on my face.“Hmm?” I hummed, leaning my head back, rubbing my temples.“Are you alright?” He asked, arching an eyebrow as I only hummed in return.“You better keep Jacey happy at all costs.” I warned him, shifting my gaze to him.“Yes, Sir.” He nodded quickly, sitting farther away from me. He was obviously intimidated by my very presence.But, at the moment my only concern was Saafia. The sound of her sobs was echoing in my mind. I frightened her in the lift as well. “I.. will go and see Jacey.” I couldn’t help it, I had mad
