Chapter 18
Madeline dropped me off to my room and I saw my bags already inside the room next to the bed. I walked over to the windows that were stretching from floor to the ceiling and my gaze directly fell on Marcus’s room.]
He was sitting on the bed, tapping on his phone. His coat lying on the bed next to him and his hair was disheveled giving off a mouth dropping sight. His tie was loose and at the moment I wished I could run my hands on his toned body.[]
I watched him for a while and something made him notice it. He looked my way and I felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment. He quickly got out of the bed and closed his curtains and so did 1.
Gosh why was I staring at him?
Real question. Why was I checking him out?]
Conclusion. I was finally going mad.]
I woke up the next day and went downstairs to cat breakfast. I was really impressed by Madeline’s cooking skills and it was enough to give me a bright smile the entire day. And she told me Marcus left for work early in the morning which was even better.
After breakfast I left to
eft to see one of my stores before I drove to my office. It was morning but still filled with people.
The store was expensive, clothes are only made for snobby bitchy people who likes to spend a lot. Targeting the rich will make you richer. That’s something I learned in the time being.
I was questioning my staff about the sales when I saw Marcus walk in with a girl. She was beautiful and looked young. She dragged Marcus to the dress section and told him something. To my horror Marcus smiled at her.
Marcus ?
Smiling?
Is he attracted to younger people? Wait! Is he cheating on me? I felt my body boil with anger. Even though the fake I didn’t like it when he disrespects it. I’m not gonna wait and watch while he cheats.
I took long steps to where the girl was.
“Can I help you?” I asked politely and she glanced at me but her eyes tell she didn’t recognize me.
“Yes, I’m going on a date with him and I need a dress” she pointed at Marcus and giggled
“Oh amazing. Would you like me to show you a section with more beautiful dresses?”
marriage was
I went to another section after giving Marcus a glare. He better have a good explanation. The girl selected a dress and Marcus paid for it, leaving without even glancing at me.
I was beyond mad now. He had no right to cheat since both him and 1 were forced into this. At least he should respect it since I wasn’t the only one gaining something from this.]
I went back home in the evening hoping to see Marcus but he still hadn’t come back. I scoffed. He was probably enjoying his
date with an underage girl.]
I was sitting on a stool in the kitchen when I heard Marcus walk in.[]
He looked at me for a second and then started climbing up the steps.]
“That’s it?” I asked annoyed.]
He stopped mid way]
“What?”
“You’re not gonna give me an explanation?”
“Why would I? I’m not bound to you” He left me speechless.]
Bound? Was he kidding? He surely forgot that there was a marriage certificate in between.[]
I came here to make his life a living hell but it was my life that became hell.
I stomped my feet up the stairs and into his room. I opened his door with a loud bang. He looked at me from his bed, a scowl written on his face.
“Listen wo
you mister” I pointed my finger at him. “Don’t act like you are the only one forced into this marriage. I hate this with every single part of me. But I respect whatever we have now and I’m not gonna let you disrespect me or this marriage. I don’t want you to tarnish my reputation because you can’t control yourself. And I’m so not gonna be the one to get cheated on. You’ll be dead the next time you think of doing it.”
I shut the door and hopped downstairs to drink some water,||
“Miss
are you okay?” Madeline asked in concern.
“You mean okay as in okay my husband is cheating on me“]
At my words she gasped loudly and closed her mouth with her hand in utter shock.
“Miss that can’t be true. Sir never does that. He doesn’t even care about love”
“Well surely he does. I caught him today.“[]
“You caught him with a woman?“]
I nodded while sipping the water.[]
“Miss may I know what the woman looked like?“]
“Min well she seems like she’s 19 or in her early twenties. She had dark hair and eyes similar to Marcus. They were green“]
Madeline shook her head in disappointment.
“Miss it’s not his girlfriend“||
“Then who is it? She said that she needs to buy a dress for a date” I complained running my hands up in the air.
“And he shamelessly brought his booty call to my store“]
“Miss-”
“I’m disappointed“]]
“Miss-” I interrupted her again.]
