CHAPTER 44

TAYLOR

“You will have to stay away from the company for a few days until the rumors die down. Then you can return afterward” Michael said to me after we returned to his office and I nodded my head before taking a seat on the chair before the desk.

“Yeah. I understand” I said while wringing my hands, unsure of what to say after he stood up for me like that in front of the executives. I was sure that I was supposed to thank him though.

“You can have more time to bond with your cat though,” he said and I looked up to see him smiling at me.

Anyone could tell that he was trying to make me feel better but what he didn't know was that I'd never felt better.

“That's true. I'm getting a cat” I smiled back at him and with that, he stood up to come toward me. Then he sat on the chair beside me and turned to face me while I wondered what he was up to.

“Talk to me, Taylor. Why do you look down on yourself so much?” he asked me very unexpectedly and I had no idea what to say because I n

    CHAPTER 45 TAYLOR I never knew that going to a pet shop with Michael would be so fun. Of course, he didn't touch any of them no matter how much I persuaded him to and after learning how to care for a cat from the pet store owner, I eventually chose a ginger cat. Then we left for my place, the mansion afterward and I couldn't stop smiling to myself as I continually reminded myself that I was now a cat owner. “Are you that happy? You have been grinning since we left the pet shop” he said and my grin grew even wider. “I'm just so happy. You made Cassia pay for what she did, you let me hit her to feel better and also got me a cat. Today is the first best day I'm having since I met you” I said without thinking through my words and I caught his expression faltering a bit before he continued to smile at me. “That's a good thing then. Enjoy your moment” he said and I nodded. Then the rest of the drive went on in silence and when we finally reached the mansion, the car came to a sto

    CHAPTER 46TAYLORMorning came faster than I anticipated and right by the foot of my bed was mane. He was awake already and when he saw me get down from the bed, he meowed.Smiling down at him, I reached for his back and gently ruffled his fur and he snuggled closer to my feet while he purred as I did that. So I took note that he liked it when he was touched.With that, I left for the bathroom to clean up and afterward, I slipped into a pair of jeans and a shirt before holding my hair up in a bun. Then I gave Mane a can of his food for breakfast before having coffee and toast.Afterward, I started to pack up my things and thankfully, they weren't too many so quickly, I was done and I called Michael to let him know.The doorbell rang an hour later and I dashed toward the door to get it only to see that Fernandez came along with the moving company and I was delighted to see him.“So you're moving in with the boss huh? You really are taking down his walls, aren't you?” Fernandez began wh

    CHAPTER 47TAYLOR The next day, Michael was gone when I woke up. He didn't have breakfast and the dinner I made was still there in the kitchen untouched.Feeling dejected and angry, I heated it all up in the microwave and before I fetched myself a little to have for breakfast, I gave Mane his breakfast first. Then I took my bath and grabbed a book from the little collection I had and began to read while keeping an eye on Mane who kept on scurrying back and forth in the huge penthouse.Thoughts about the previous night kept on invading my thoughts though. It made it difficult for me to focus on the book I was trying so hard to read and when I couldn't take it anymore, I snapped the book shut and tossed it aside.Then I stormed over to the kitchen to look at the pot of dish I made again and I got even angrier as I remembered how I took my time to make it just so Michael would like it.If only I knew the night was going to end up becoming a disaster, I wouldn't have stressed too much o

    CHAPTER 48TAYLOR “I should give the food out right? I mean, He yelled at me despite how I took my time to clean his wound for him. He didn't even tell me thank you. Can you imagine that?” I ranted nonstop to Mane who was busy with his lunch and I sighed as I rested my head on my knees. I'd never felt so helplessly angry and I wished there was a way I could let my frustration out.Sighing again, I ran my fingers through my rough hair, hoping it would help me calm down but it did nothing. All I felt was restlessness and I groaned out in even more frustration. Then I grabbed my phone and began to scroll through it endlessly while wondering what I could do to pass time until Fernandez would arrive and right then, I heard the door beep repeatedly.So I rushed out to see him and I stopped when I saw it was Michael. I stood by the passageway while he stood by the door and we both just stared at each other for a moment.“Aren't you acting too excited just to see Fernandez?” He finally spo

    CHAPTER 49TAYLORAs I walked into the living room, I couldn't raise my eyes to meet Michael's. The embarrassment was still fresh in the back of my mind and at the same time, I could also feel his eyes on me and it unnerved me.I wished I could run back into my room and lock the door but I couldn't.So I resolved to instead, be quick with dressing up his wound and dash away.So I returned to his front and knelt down before him. Inhaling and exhaling to steady my racing heart, I grabbed the disinfectant in the box to clean my hands and when I was done, I accidentally made eye contact with him only to see he was still watching me and I quickly looked away.“Please stop looking at me like that” I whispered and he bent to look me in the eyes. My heart stopped when he did that and quickly, I diverted my gaze but he caught my face and made me look at him and I forgot how to breathe.“How am I looking at you, Taylor?” he asked and I blinked. I was definitely not going to talk about the look

    CHAPTER 50MICHAEL Pretty grey eyes, small cupid lips, a small round nose and those adorable bangs that always graced her forehead.That was all I could think about as I laid back in bed and stared up at the ceiling. She was right there… just a room away from me but I couldn't bring myself to make a move.Not after I'd told her that I wouldn't touch her unless she asked for it. Taylor intrigued me in ways that I didn't understand. There was just something so innocent and pure about her that continuously drew me in but at the same time, I had to fight it off for the same reasons.She was pure and innocent. I was dark and tainted, carried the blood of many on my hands and lived a life with no future in sight.I could be killed at any moment and that would be it for me and her.So it was best I started nothing at all. To protect her from me and give her the chance to someone better than me with a future to look forward to together. It was best that way.Besides, I'd had enough experien

    CHAPTER 51TAYLORNighttime came way faster than I anticipated and I dreaded going back into that mansion to see Michael's family but I didn't have much of a choice.I had to do whatever Michael wanted without questioning it so if he wanted me to come along for a family dinner, then I would have to tag along.So when he returned from work, I knew it was time to get ready.I picked out the most expensive looking dress amongst the ones he got me and wore it. Then I styled my hair into waves and held it up in a high ponytail before I let my bangs down. With that, I did something simple on my face as makeup and put my shoes on before I grabbed my purse and joined Michael in the living room where he waited after changing into his clothes too.I could feel the heat of his gaze on me the closer I walked toward him and something about the look in his eyes made the thumping of my heart feel like my chest was about to explode.“I'm ready” I told him after making up my mind to face anyone who t

    CHAPTER 52TAYLOR"You seem to be really happy being married to Michael” Blair began while smiling at me, her hands folded over her chest and u eyed her suspiciously because that couldn't be all she had to say to me.“Am I supposed to be sad?” I asked her and she chuckled before walking past me into the bathroom to rinse her hands in one of the sinks and she looked at me while the tap ran and the water poured over her hands.“You don't know Michael that well, Taylor. Right?” she asked me and I frowned because I had no idea what she was talking about. Why on earth would she ask me if I knew Michael that well. What exactly did she know?“I don't care about whatever you say, Blair. So keep them to yourself and stay away from me too” I replied and she laughed heartily like something hilarious just happened when nothing was in fact funny.“Oh really, Taylor? Is that what you think or what you're trying to make yourself believe? Because I don't think you actually don't care about what I wan

    CHAPTER 65TAYLORMusic boomed loudly in the club and I let the rhythm flow through my body while I danced with Selene. Her friends were the nicest people I'd met so far and dancing with them was the most fun part of the night.I was glad I wore the dress Selene chose for me. The compliments I received were endless and they boosted my confidence so much that I didn't care about anyone watching me while I danced.All I did was drink through the night and make having fun with Selene and her friends my priority. I didn't bother about anything else.I began to feel thirsty as the night dragged on so I left Selene on the dance floor for the bar to get a drink and as the bartender turned to me, a man showed up beside me and flashed me a smile.“Hey, pretty” he began and even though I felt uncomfortable by the sudden approach, I decided to respond.“Hi” I replied and he grinned at me.“Let me buy you a drink. Then we can have a good time on the dance floor. What do you say?” he offered and I

    CHAPTER 64TAYLOR“I think this dress will look great on you” Selene exclaimed excitedly while she held a black and very short dress in her hand and I gave the dress a skeptical look. I didn't think it was a good idea to wear that.True to her words, Michael went out for the night. He said he was going to be back by dawn because he had a job to do and it made me wonder who he was going to hurt this time.“Stop overthinking it, hun. You and Michael are just married on paper so what's stopping you from having fun?” She asked as if she could read my mind and I wrapped my hands around myself. “What if he finds out? I've never done this before, Selene” I told her fearfully and she sighed while rolling her eyes. Then she came toward me and pressed the dress to my chest so I held onto it.“Taylor, there's a first time for everything and besides, I'm the one taking you with me. You won't be alone so if Michael wants to rave, let him rave. I know he can't hurt us” she insisted and I looked at

    CHAPTER 63TAYLOR“It's just one night, Michael. You know you can't keep her locked inside forever right?” Selene tried to convince him as we had breakfast so he would let me tag along with her and her friends for the night.Quietly, I sat beside her while she drilled him with many other things I could do that was worse than hanging out with her but still, he remained adamant.“You said she could go with me yesterday! You said you'd allow it if we went with bodyguards!” She insisted and Michael sighed before getting up from where he sat.“I'm not changing my mind, Selene. Taylor isn't going with you” he replied before walking out of the kitchen and I looked at her once he was gone.“I told you. He wouldn't let me go” I said to her before getting up to pack up the empty dishes and she placed her hand on mine. I looked at her to see she had a determined look in her eyes and I wondered what else she had up her sleeve.“Trust me, Taylor? I'm going to convince him to let you come along. Wa

I'll take you to your room” he said to her and she groaned while clutching onto her stomach.“I'm starving, Michael. I'd like to have dinner first and both of you are joining me” she said and he threw his head back tiredly before he placed the luggage on the floor and faced her.“Alright. Taylor can set something up for dinner. She's a great cook and you'll love her dishes” he replied and she looked at me with a smile.“You don't mind making dinner for me, Taylor. Right?” she asked and I shook my head.“Of course not. I'd be delighted to” I told her and she grinned while clapping excitedly. Then she waved at Michael before she followed me into the kitchen and together, we set up the dining table since she offered to help.Soon, we were done since I already made soup earlier and Mich

    CHAPTER 61TAYLORThe air felt awkward between us as we stood side by side in the airport and waited for someone I'd never met before.Minutes passed and the crowd started to lessen with time. I was already starting to wonder if this so called cousin even got on the plane when I heard a voice yelling out Michael's name and I looked toward the direction to see a petite lady waving dramatically at us.“Come on, let's go. She's here” Michael told me, his voice carrying a hint of exhaustion and I nodded before following him while I gave his cousin a curious look.Compared to his hard exterior, she looked fun and easy going. Her wide smile and beaming eyes were enough to give that away but what she wore caught my interest too.I expected to see someone sophisticated. Probably dressed in a skirt and blazer like she was heading for a meeting but instead, she wore a blue jean jumper, her hair was held up in a braided ponytail and her nails dazzled with different colors of nail polish. She wa

    CHAPTER 60TAYLORI was making dinner but I was absent minded. I just stared into space while stirring the pot of soup before me until it began to boil and still, I didn't realize I was supposed to turn the burner off already.“Taylor! What are you thinking?” Michael's scornful voice suddenly filtered through my empty thoughts and I flinched as he came up from behind me and turned the burner off.The soup splashed and little of it got onto my hand and I winced in pain while holding onto my hand in pain.“I… I wasn't…” I had no idea what to say while I struggled to endure the pain from the burn and he grabbed my hand before pulling me to the dining table.“Sit!” He ordered before forcing me down onto a chair and I watched him rummage through the kitchen for the first aid box until he found it. Then he returned to me and sat beside me before pulling my hand toward him again.“You have been acting differently these days, Taylor, because you have never zoned out like this. What's the matt

    CHAPTER 59MICHAELTaylor felt distant and different. At first, I assumed it was because of how I spoke to her in front of Blair and Carlos and I thought it would be like the usual… it was only going to be a matter of time before she would let go of the anger.It was like within the time that I asked her to leave my office until when Blair and Carlos left, she had built up a wall around her and her eyes looked so unreadable. It was like she was unrecognizable.I couldn't forget when I walked into the office where she learnt with Miss Blackwood to get her so we could leave. The look she had in her eyes was so foreign. She didn't smile or give any reaction as she saw me but still, I assumed she was just merely pissed at me. But then, her body language began to say otherwise. The way she kept a steady distance between me and her as we walked to the car, the way she scooted away from me inside the car and didn't look my way at least once until I spoke to her throughout the drive, and ho

    CHAPTER 58 TAYLOR We entered the car and I was quick to scoot away from Michael as he joined me in the backseat. I didn't look his way either and instead, rested my head against the window to look outside. The car felt suffocating having him beside me. I wanted to scream, run for as long as my feet could take me or even sob my anger and solitude out to let out the misery I was feeling but I couldn't do any of that. He was going to ask what was wrong and I wouldn't be able to tell him because if I did, I would look stupid and desperate for him and I didn't want that for myself. Not when he didn't see me that way. With a sigh, I scooted away from him even further. Then I started to roll the window down so I could feel the night breeze against my face but then Michael placed his hand over mine from behind me and I froze. Slowly, I turned to look back at him and he was watching me with questioning eyes. “I don't want the windows down. It's ventilated enough” he said and I rel

    CHAPTER 57 TAYLOR Blair walked into the office at that moment and I froze when our eyes met. Ignoring my presence in the room, she looked away and walked toward the desk to meet Carlos and right in front of me and Michael, they shared a kiss. I was so close to asking out loud what she was doing there but I held myself back and watched their exchange in silence until Blair decided to speak. “I came to pick up my fiance only to see blisters on his face and I can also sense a lot of tension here. So tell me… what's going on here, Michael?” She asked and Michael looked at Carlos. “Your fiance was harassing my wife so I gave him a taste of my fist and I think he liked it” Michael told her and she immediately snapped her head toward Carlos with wide eyes. “You know I wouldn't do that, baby. She just wants to make me the bad guy” he said to her and she narrowed her eyes at him for a few seconds. “Are you sure, hun? Are you certain that you didn't try to harass her?” Blair asked him l
