Chapter 82I sat with the board of directors in the conference room checking out the new headings of the magazine. I was asked to decide a design for the magazine font and the front cover. In my own sense, I want a guy model to this. It's a guy who fit this concept. They all wanted a lady for it. Since I am next to Ashley, I should say who I want to be on the front cover. Like what the heck? I leaned on the chair fiddling with the pen in between my fingers. I stared at the headings on the screen. It needed a little highlighter and a font which would suit it well. I kind of prefer that better. I need to be professional at this. To make this a little better. Ashley isn't here at at the moment She is still at home because of her ankle. I came to work alone. This woman called Anita won't stop throwing different glances at me and it feels so irritating. "So what are you suggesting?""Mr. Bromeo." Perky said. I cleared my throat staring at the screen in front of me. I moved my gaze aw
Chapter 83After the meeting, I went straight back to my designated office. I don't want anyone to disturb me. I wanted to create new ideas. Just then there was a notification on my phone. I didn't bother checking it. I knew what it was. It came after every conference meeting I attended. I am being paid twenty five million dollars for every sitting. But then another message came in. It beeped two more times. "What is that?" I asked absentmindedly. I took my phone and checked. Jeez! It's more than twenty five million. Another extra five million was added for me. Oh my goodness! It came directly from the management. I worked for it so I have every right to my money. I set my phone back on the table and began to sign some papers that needed my signature. At the middle of my signing, Anita walked in. What does she want now? She smiled at me. Let me just act normal. I want to get my mind off Ashley right? I shut my eyes trying to act normal. "Hey, good morning. You were amazing back th
Chapter 84ASHLEY'S POV"You are not getting out of this marriage do you understand? You are mine. I am the only one that is allowed to sit on your lap and not some whore." I yelled back at him dropping my bag on the couch. We have been arguing all the way in the car. He was trying to be silent but I am not going to let that happen. So he has been cheating on me since all this while? What have I been doing? How come I did not notice? "Are you trying to pick a fight with me because I am not ready for you right now. You can do whatever you want, okay? You can go out there and meet Lucas and continue from where you two stop." He replied back at me. Oh, who does he think he is?"Exactly what it is. Don't even try to bring in Lucas or you will regret. Don't try to pin this on me because I am not giving up. So tell me how long you have been fucking with her behind my back. Why don't you tell me?" He sighed running his finger through his already messy hair. I knew he was tired of me yel
Chapter 85We ate in silence the next morning. The silence was not what I wished for. When it got to a point, I got up on my feet and decided I was full even though I was hungry. I was too angry to care. My stomach grumbled and it almost embarrassed me. I grabbed my bag and made my way to the car. I don't care. I will treat him just the way he is treating me now. I will make him beg for my attention. In fact, I don't care anymore about what he does to other ladies. I don't care if he slept with half of the female in the office. Just for a year. I just have to make sure this issue doesn't escalate any further. Just for a year and this is just the third months of our marriage. I sat in the car and ordered the driver to go. "But what about, sir?" "He would come with the order car. Just go." "But ma'am -"I sighed. I hate when someone tries to question my decision. "Shut up and get out of this car!" "But ma'am.""You are fired." I said immediately. He was truly fired. I don't care
Chapter 86Aryan's POV"Tomorrow is my birthday. What would you get for me as the birthday girl?" She asked. "What do you want me to get for you?" I asked setting down my cup of coffee on the table. I needed to take a cup of coffee to relax because I would be working late tonight and I don't want to end up falling asleep. I know the reason why I am working late. Not just because of the work but also because of her. I don't like the silence between us this morning. It was at the same time awkward, funny and disturbing. The Ashley I know won't just want to give up like that. Why was she suddenly quiet like that? It was disturbing though. Just then I felt a hand waving over my face blowing a little air to my face. "Hey, are you okay?""What's wrong? Are you and Ashley not on good terms? If so then -""No, we are . My wife and I are okay. We are not fighting. We are in fact good enough for each other. We just want to maintain our distance at work and behave professionally. We are fine.
Chapter 87The silence became unbearable for me when she walked past me. I had to stop her and ask what was wrong with her. She stopped and turned right to me. "Are you talking to me?" She asked. What? Who else is in this house apart from her and as well as the maids. Just that the maids were not here. "Yes, I am talking to you. You have been acting weird and it is disturbing." I voiced out. Then she suddenly smiled and tucked her hair behind her hair. "What do you expect me to do? Yelling and shouting at you every damn night? Oh, you wrong. I have my own issues to face right now. You are not that important." She waved me off. I started to feel disturbed. No! This is unlike her. Something must be wrong somewhere. Is something wrong with her? She rolled her eyes and was about to go when I stopped her again. Was she seeing another man apart from me? Who is the guy? "What?" She lost it with me. "Are you okay?""Of course, I am okay. Do you see me crying or sulking up in a corner?"
Chapter 88Ashley's POVI suddenly felt sick dizzy and I can't even breathe. What the heck had been going on with me lately? I feel heavy especially my breasts. I crave for everything and it was getting annoying. In the middle of the night, I was craving for Seven stars' pizza. I can't even sleep well. I just hope everything is alright with me. I shifted to the other side of the bed. I felt sleepy but I just needed to go to the office. Today is am important day. I can't afford to miss it because I am not feeling well. That's not an excuse for me though. It's not an excuse. I turned around the room as I held my head. It was like the room was spinning. I fucking hate this. I struggled and got up on my feet. I selected a black and green outfit. In fact, I am not willing to search for any dress. I just picked up a green button up shirt and a black trousers. I took my bath and put on my clothes. My hair? I only brushed it like two times and dropped the comb on the table. What could be
Chapter 89No! I can't get pregnant. Not now, not now. I can't be pregnant. No, no way. What if it was for Lucas? What the heck am I going to do now? I can't be pregnant. The marriage between Aryan and I was just fake. I can't pregnant for anyone of them. Tears rolled out from my eyes and Olivia patted my shoulder. "No, I am not pregnant. I can't get pregnant at all. No, Olivia. You don't know what is at stake here.""We are not even sure yet. Don't cry. You are making me cry. Stop it!" She said trying to console me. I just hope so. I hope I am not pregnant. If I am pregnant then it is no one other than Aryan. I can't get pregnant for Lucas. My mom would finally make me marry him. I don't want to marry him. I got up on my feet immediately and Olivia got up with me. She then handed me a pregnancy test strip. "What am I going to do with that?""To be sure." She smiled. Why was she even smiling?"This is not funny." I told her. "Of course not. It's not funny but you need to be happ
