—CHRISTIAN—I drove my car straight towards Dad's office with clenched jaws and white knuckles. This woman never leaves a single chance to piss me off. The fury in those chocolate orbs and the sharpness of that tongue of hers is driving me crazy. And definitely not in a good way. I might have killed her if she hadn't closed her door after saying those words. The audacity!! I choked the steering wheel, thinking it's her neck, nearing Dad's office. Finally I'm going to get what's mine, what I deserve. Parking the car, I climbed out and headed inside his building, only to meet with so many smiling faces. As soon as I entered inside, a small blast happened, making me hault in my tracks. "Surpriseeeeeeee" Everyone shouted together as the confetti rained on me, filling my hair and clothes.I looked to find the whole office gathered In the office entrance. As they parted sideways, a big cake was revealed with ‘Congratulations’ written on it. Another reminder of my doomed life. My anger
—JENNIFER—I was a little disheartened when he left me here all alone, until I realised that HE LEFT ME HERE ALL ALONE, with my books, his balcony, his terrace, his fridge and his househelp. Like damn!! I always had a regret of spending so much money on my food since I didn't know how to cook and mom would get pissed at my unhealthy eating habits. And now, I had Marry here to cook for me and the saved money I would spend on my books. Isn't amazing. It's been six days since I got married and my Husband Dearest left me here to die. That's what he must have thought. Hah!! But these days has to be my best fucking time period. The days would be spent in university and after coming back, I would explore this bigass luxurious penthouse. Ah, the balcony. I had spent most of my time there only, with my books and chocolates. I would call Cally and Anya even Alex over here to accompany me and we all would have so much fun together. When they got to know about Christian leaving me, they we
—CHRISTIAN—SIX PEACEFUL DAYS, without any mention of marriage or my wife. What more could I have asked for in my life after this torturous time period of getting reminders of me being tied to her. I finally felt a bit light after a long while and because of it I could focus on my work here. The only way I feel relaxed is doing my work in the best way and having it successfully done. After working my ass off for all these days, finally the deal with Walkers, London's most influential name in the food industry, has been locked today. This merger between the two companies for a project was hell of important for me and finally I can sleep peacefully tonight. Right now I was in the hotel, where a party to celebrate the finalisation of our deal is being held. “ Cheers to the new beginning!! “ Devis Walker, the CEO of Walkers Group, raised his glass in the air to give a green flag to the celebration. We all chased his action before sipping our drinks. “ Alright,your business avtar is a
—JENNIFER— I spent a perfect weekend with Cally, Anya and Alex while watching movies and eating junk before all of us started to drift away to sleep. It was past 1:00 A.M. when my stupid, inconvenient stomach chose to growl loudly. Sighing annoyingly, I looked around to find all the clowns sleeping peacefully on the floor with their backs resting on the couches behind in the living area. My stomach growled again making me snort as I got up and headed toward the kitchen. I had just exited the living area and was about to enter the kitchen when the voice of clicking the door knob landed in my ears. My eyes snapped up toward the main door while my body froze in its place as a tall figure appeared there. My overthinking mind couldn't help but think of the worst scenario possible which had me standing there with a hitched breath. A thief?? Possibly!! The amount of money Christian Brown makes, it's not hidden from the world. From thieves, definitely not. The first thing that came to
—JENNIFER—I waved a bye to the trio with a hammering heart as the door to the elevator got closed, making them disappear. If only I could just go with them. I couldn't muster the courage to go back inside and face the person who's my husband now. It's been one week since our marriage but his absence kind of made me forget the reality that I'm married now. That too, to a person who hates me. Not that I've any different thing in my mind for him. “ Are you planning on sleeping outside?? “ Hot breaths hit my neck, making me jump at the sudden intrusion in my thoughts.I unconsciously turned back to face him and found him breathing down at me. His dark eyes staring in mine as if trying to make a way to my soul. His one brow was slightly raised and head tilted sideways.“ No. “ I mumbled before taking a step back then walking past him. Or, I tried. Because before I could, he caught my wrist and next I knew that I was pinned on the wall. His both hands were holding my wrists, not so tig
—JENNIFER—" What the actual fuck?? " Christian shouted from inside the kitchen, making me snap my head up to look at him. Didn't he already leave?? As the kitchen was directly in front of the dining table, I could easily see the devil standing in front of the opened fridge with shock. In a moment, he was fuming in anger with his hands on his hips. "What happened ?? " Marry asked, walking up to him with a frown. "Why is my fridge looking like a chocolate factory?? " He Barked in annoyance and spinned to look at me. And I, like the guilty that I am, sat straight up and looked down at my breakfast to escape his accusing looks. Suddenly I was so interested in my breakfast, as If I didn't even hear him talking about anything. Oh look, there's a potato!! I had never seen them before. I poked it with my fork and hot steam emerged from it. Ooh, would you look at it? How intriguing!! Feeling an angry pair of eyes at me, I cleared my throat nonchalantly, taking a bite of my food and
—JENNIFER—Waking up on Christian hissing and barking at his employees early in the morning has become my habit now. But it doesn't stop me from cursing him in as many different ways as I can. After Doing my routine of cursing him while heading towards the bathroom, I took a shower and got ready for my university. The last three days have been really hectic for me. I've been busy doing my assignments. And in all this, Christian and I've been on silent terms. We don't talk or even argue. He ignores me and I ignore him. It's kind of been easy for me to live here but definitely not favouring my survival. Talking is my LIVE language and being here silent all the time is not at all making me feel normal. Although I have made myself comfortable with the wall and bookshelf of my room to talk, I believe human interaction is also important to remind yourself of being human yourself. But, who am I even kidding with? I don't actually live with a human but a living rock instead. “ A hot as fu
—JENNIFER—When I took my first turn the person behind me also followed, confirming my doubt that I was being followed. Trying my best to not give away the impression of knowing this fact, I picked up my speed. I heard loud footsteps behind me, which made my heart beat faster. I felt a layer of sweat on my forehead as I walked even faster matching my own heartbeat. I was almost running by now and eventually couldn't stop myself from looking back. My heart thudded in my chest at the sight of the three men I had argued with in the mall. “Fuck!! “ Cursing myself for my stupidness, I literally ran this time. I had shopping bags in my hands which made it even more difficult for me to run for long. The hell I'm throwing away my Santa caps!!Eventually my steps faltered when another turn came. But before I could fall and break my face, I was pulled with a strong grip on my arm and pushed into a dark alleyway. A loud shriek wanted to escape me but another hand muffled my mouth making it d
