~ EIGHT ~

It took me a few minutes to process the words he had just said. I stared between Kaiden and Ally, blinking at intervals slower than normal.

"Oh, she's the one?" I smiled. Kaiden's smirk dropped. "What would you like to eat?" I asked Ally.

Ally and Kaiden shared a glance at each other then raised their eyebrows at me. "I'm in for

Meatballs?" She was unsure as she spoke.

I walked to the rest of the women whose clothes were almost equivalent to a ladies underwear. I squirmed at how disgusting they seemed. One of the women licked her lips, moving her body in a seductive manner.

Certain that Kaiden wasn't looking, I glared at her and whispered, "I'm his wife. Remember that." I shook my body and cleared my throat, wearing my fake smile once more. "What would you ladies like to eat?"

"Eat?" They also had the same questioning look. "Is she okay? Does she have a problem with her mental health?"

"You aren't ready to talk? Nevermind, I guess it's meatballs for everyone."

Firstly, I scuttled up the stairs to keep my bag in our room. The smell of ladies' perfume in it almost made me puke my guts out. What did Kaiden take me for? Was he mad or something?

I changed into a neat red dress and tied my straight black hair into a bun. Time for business!

I returned downstairs to the living room. They were talking about shit I wasn't interested in knowing but stopped when my presence was noticed.

"Sorry for the delay." I faked a smile. Kaiden drew his eyes in skepticism. I found my way to the gloriously gorgeous kitchen. Grabbing a big pot, I filled it with water, covered it, placed it on fire

I took a bucket from the kitchen's floor, located the flour, poured a large amount of Flour powder into it. I spotted the chili pepper then mixed the content well enough. The amount of chili added to it was extremely much.

After adding water to the bucket and mixing it well, I held the bucket in my hand then returned to the living room.

"What's up with her?" One of the women asked, chewing on a bubble gum irritably.

As Ally was about to turn to look at me, I raised the bucket above her head then poured the content of it over her head. She screamed like a high-school teenager as she was being bathed by the hotness of chili pepper and flour water. The spiciness of the chili pepper was even choking me as I poured it on her so I could imagine how much the spiciness was affecting her eyes, nose, and mouth.

"Kealey, are you crazy?!" Kaiden held Ally's shoulders after I was done with pouring it on her. She shook her head, looking so soaked and tears were streaming down her hot red eyes. The effect of the chili was taking place.

"Help!" The highness in her voice pitch was deafening.

"Baby, are you okay?" He asked, rubbing her eyelids as she continued screaming. She was dancing like a crazy person and was stupid enough to keep rubbing her eyes with her fingers.

I took a flower vase from the table, throwing the flower in it away. I held the upper part of it then shattered the bottom of the vase on the floor.

Everyone in the room flinched at my action.

"Leave now!" I screamed like a crazy human, panting and pointing the broken vase in their direction. "If you don't leave, I have a drum of water boiling in the kitchen. I wouldn't think twice before heading to the kitchen and emptying the hot water on the skin of you whores!" I threatened further. The women all looked so scared by my threat and I was loving it.

"Okay, okay, stay calm." They started picking up their shoes, bags and other things from the floor and couch then were walking out of the house.

"Kealey, what rubbish is this?" Kaiden had a forbidden frown on. He left screaming Ally then walked to me. The vein in his head and neck had already popped out and his exasperation was as clear as glass.

"I love you. You can't do this to me." I made my voice sound pitiful. There was no way he could do this. "I love you more than anything and I promise that I'll do anything to have you as mine alone."

"If you continue things like this, I wouldn't think twice before doing something you wouldn't like." He hollered, pointing his right index finger at me.

"Ally, leave!" I screamed, noticing she was still present, screaming like a gawk. I advanced towards her, quick enough to slip from Kaiden holding me back.

I still had the broken vase in my hand so I pointed it in her direction. She couldn't open her eyes fully but it was evident that I had something dangerous.

"If you dare try anything stupid with my husband," I emphasized on 'husband', "I'll ruin your life in ways you can never imagine." I whispered into her ear. "Leave now before this broken vase gets to your skin."

She still screamed in pain as she ran out of the house. Only then did I throw the broken vase away. I was going to call Bella to clean that up.

I shot daggers at Kaiden with my eyes. "Next time, it'll be you that'll be punished. I love you." I snorted with a proud smirk then left for my room. Sleep time.

***

I was starting to get worried. Kaiden hadn't gotten back home yet. What if he got too angry and decided to leave me? My life was going to be ruined. I had achieved my dream of getting married to Kaiden. I hoped I hadn't acted too fast and made him hate me even more that he might want to leave?

"Why did I say such hurtful words to Layla? She's the only one that can give me good advice in situations like this." I buried my face into a pillow then whimpered.

My phone chimed from the bedside table I had placed it on. I rolled over to reach for it. It was a call from an unknown number.

I answered the call then placed the half-destroyed phone to my ear. I had to make a list of the things I needed Kaiden to buy for me. How could I be a Billionaire's wife and still use this sort of shit I called a phone? The thought of being rich swung in my head and I almost did a happy dance. What a change of level from a poor orphan to a Billionaire's wife.

"Hello? Kealey here?" A familiar voice said into the phone.

"Who's this, please?" I sat up straight, placing three big pillows behind me to rest my back against them.

"This is Beth, the girl from college." Her cheerful voice beamed into the phone. It became my favorite voice from this point.

"Hi, Beth. How're you doing?" I grinned, locking the phone between my ear and my shoulder so I could pour water from the jug to the glass cup on the bedside table.

"I was wondering if we could probably hang out some other time."

"Hang out?" I returned the jug to the bedside table, held my phone to my ear, bringing the cup to my lips to gulp the water in one drought. I returned the cup to the bedside table afterwards. "Sure."

"Is Tomorrow night fine by you? We can go to a club, enjoy our lives, grab some men and drinks, spend the night in the hotel room with them." She smirked.

"Tomorrow night is fine by me." I cackled.

"Okay, then. I'll be expecting you. I'll let George know too."

I blew an air-kiss into the phone before hanging up. I loved that girl already.

The door's handle bent then I stiffened my body, knowing but yet hoping that it was Kaiden.

The room was painted in white and extremely large. When the black doors opened, the bed was directly in view because it was a straight line to the door.

I was feeling uneasy so I turned to face the beautiful ocean wallpaper on the wall the bed rested against. Somehow, it made me feel more uneasy so I lurched up from the bed, walking towards the right-hand side of the bed.

I heard the door open but I didn't dare to look back. Instead, I walked to the glass wall then stared outside of it.

The sun had started to set and the view from the transparent wall was very beautiful. The colors that were painted on the sky were gradually making me feel less bothered. There were beautiful trees. And at a very far distance through the view from the wall, I could see the pattern that some rocks formed. It was very beautiful and calming.

I gained the courage to look backwards. Kaiden was taking off his shoes, wristwatch, chain and jacket.

I fiddled with my fingernails by my side as I walked back to the bed in slow steps.

"Kaiden!" I said that out way louder than I had expected. "You're back?" I feigned surprise.

Kaiden ran his eyes all over me in disgust then snorted, getting to his feet. He picked his phone, car keys, from the bedside table, took a soft pillow that I guessed was his favorite and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" I snapped, automatically halting his movement.

"I'm leaving this room for you. Sleeping in the same room with you will only lift your hope, as it seems. Glad there are Nine rooms in this building, I'm leaving for one." He explained with a frown etched on his face.

"You can't leave me. I'll be lonely." I sounded desperate and was almost holding him. I moved closer, flashing him my puppy look.

To my greatest surprise, my puppy look didn't have a bit of effect on him. It did to many people, why not him?!

"First, that's a terrible look. Second, I'm leaving and there's nothing that can be done. Third, I'll pack my things away from this room tomorrow. Fourth, I might probably start bringing women home if I want to and you'll do nothing. Fifth, Dad is hosting a wedding party for this shit hole you might take as Marriage. A lot of important people will be there so you've got to look good and pretend like we're the best couple." With that, he left the room, leaving me so shattered and infuriated.
