Chapter 3

Lois POV

‘‘What the fuck are you doing here?’’ I asked with my eyes wide open and the blanket covering my body. I was furious and agitated.

‘‘This was the only room available’’ he blurted out. oh my goodness. My parents really had to stoop this low and how can a house like this have only one room?

Jesus, I was infuriated.

They had to go out of their way to make me miserable even in their absence. I am sure this was my mum’s doing, I could bet with my life that it was hers.

‘‘And what gave you the right to come in and lay on the bed’’. I asked furiously

‘Excuse me?’ he asked with a confused glance.

‘You could have laid on the floor or the couch for all I care’ I said, and he looked at me weirdly, scoffed, and just left, without a word. Good riddance.

Who did he think he was? Just because he was the richest man in the country doesn’t mean he gets to act the way he wants around me. I wasn’t that small naive girl his friends bullied anymore. I was the heiress to the second biggest robotics company in the country.

I wouldn’t be staying here, but my parents also drafted a contract for me as well. It was either I stayed in this house or lost the company. They knew I was vulnerable whenever the company was involved and used it against me any chance they got.

Yes, I was a little too defensive with Aaron around me, a little too protective of myself, I couldn’t do all that in high school. My whole high school experience was ruined because of Aaron and his friends. I had to go to years of therapy before I could get my confidence back, so yes, I would protect myself from the likes of him now that I have the power.

I took a quick shower and headed out. Today was Sunday, so it meant a free day for me. I didn’t have friends, only people my parents wanted me to be associated with. I didn’t like them, and I can say the feeling is mutual.

They were all so spoilt and rotten, it disgusts me, they are too dependent and are so fake. I hated hanging out with them but couldn’t object because I was forced by my parents to.

I stopped by a small coffee shop to get coffee. Coffee was the starter of my day. I felt happier and refreshed after having a cup of coffee. I placed my order and waited for it to come.

While waiting, I spotted Aaron at a corner sipping coffee and sat elegantly. A strand of his hair was hanging down away from his perfectly sleeked hair, his lips were full and luscious, those lashes of his were perfect, I guess he got the 6th sense thing and caught me staring, I didn’t look away, he looked back at me with questioning eyes but I didn’t budge. It became a staring contest for some seconds.

I was called to come get my coffee, so I had to break eye contact. After retrieving my coffee, I left a generous tip and looked back at Aaron, only to find him kissing a random girl.

What the actual fuck? I stormed out of the shop furiously, I didn’t know why I was angry but I was angry, filled with so much anger that I could burst. I entered my car and immediately drove back home. I took a cold shower and drank some hot tea.

I felt a little bit relieved, but still wasn’t sure why I was angry, it wasn’t like I liked him or anything, I guess I just felt really disrespected and humiliated, I was his wife, he shouldn’t kiss somebody in my presence, he could do that behind me but not in front of me.

What was I expecting? He was Aaron after all, I heard the door slam and figured he was home already.

I sat on the couched with my legged crossed ready to interrogate him.

He came in shortly after, not saying a word and heading straight to the bathroom. That was it? He wasn’t going to say anything? What a jerk.

He came out of the shower shortly after, with just a towel wrapped around his waist, I gulped down hard and tried not to stare.

‘You can stare if you want, I am your husband after all’ Aaron said, catching me off guard.

‘You wish’ I said as I stood up to leave.

‘Wait’ he called out, and I looked at his face, trying really hard not to stare at his abs.

‘I am sorry about the cafe, she kissed me, I was caught off guard, i used to date her’ he said and a hint of relief swirled through me.

‘And why would I care, like I said this isn’t a love marriage, you can do whatever you want’ I said, then the look in his eyes changed, an expression formed on his face, an expression i couldn’t read.

He slowly moved towards me, and I slowly moved back till my back hit the wall, and he was so close to me. He placed his right hand on the wall, very close to my face.

‘What are you doing?’ I asked angrily but tenderly.

‘What I should have done since the beginning ’ he said and I immediately felt his lips on mine, his lips were so soft, just like I pictured earlier, he slowly moved his lips upon mine and I slowly responded, I was enjoying every bit of it, I wasn’t thinking of anything as the kiss grew deeper.

I immediately came to my senses. This mother fucker was kissing me and I was responding.

I quickly broke the kiss and landed a hot slap on his face before leaving the room.
