2024-10-29 19:42:56I reached home and went straight into the room. I can't believe that I spoke in a warm tone to that arrogant idiot. I sat on my couch my head hung up and my hands on my face. I shook my head and tried to come out of the thoughts and memories that idiot brought.
I'll punch her next time if she makes me remember those memories, darn idiot. I went inside the bathroom and splashed water on my face to come out of those thoughts. I took a towel and came out wiping my face. I saw Martin closing the door, he held a file in his hands."What is that file for?" I asked."The information about the Blue dart." He said showing the file while coming towards me."You got their location?" I asked and sat on the couch."We can't. The company's dissolved completely. At present, there's no existence of a company by the name 'Blue Dart.'" He said with a scoff and sat on the couch beside me."I enquired the landlords and got some infRelated chapters

I woke up the next morning with the nightmare of him kissing me. Ugh, why am I getting these nightmares again and again? I said while sitting back on the seat. I checked my phone and there were notifications from the wedding agency. I didn't check my phone before going to bed, they must have sent it at that time.I checked the notifications and they sent different locations with lake view. They were all beautiful. I was checking the locations when I heard a groan from beside."What are you doing early in the morning?" Celine asked still with a sleepy voice while sitting back on the bed."The wedding agency sent the locations for a wedding, last night. They are amazing, here have a look." I said while giving the phone to Celine. She took my phone with one hand and was rubbing her eye with the other. She shook her head and checked the locations."All are good. What will you choose?" Celine said while giving my phone back.
Married To My Rival. 14. Part -1: The haunting memories of past.
I couldn't sleep. Everything Martin said was reminding of mum, the flashbacks of the time I spent with her were flashing in front of my eyes every time I close my eyes. I still remember her warm smile and the safe feeling I get when I'm in her arms. It reminded me of the incident of my school year, on mum's birthday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback: I was in middle school and it was mum's birthday and dad couldn't make it. He went to Wales for a business meeting and made a promise that he will be back by the day of mum' birthday. But like always he broke the promise. "Dad, you were supposed to be at home by midnight. You promised me." I said on the phone. "I know, son. I'm sorry, the meeting was postponed. I talked to your mum about this, she wasn't angry about it. I'll make it up next time." Dad apologized. But he didn't sound sincere like always.
Married To My Rival. 15. Part-2: One last kiss.
"That doesn't change the fact that we kissed." He said while brushing his cheek on mine slightly. He brought his lips to mine beside my ear slowly. "I still love you, Adam." He whispered beside my ear and kissed my ear lobe slowly and gently. My mind wasn't in its right state and his actions are making it even worse. He slowly left my ear and brought his face to mine making our nose tips touch each other. He tilted his head sideways and gave a smile before his lips pressed onto mine. He started kissing me slowly and gently, while his hands were roaming and gripping the back of my head. My mind went blank and couldn't process the whole situation. His kiss soon turned into an intense one and he started sucking my lips keeping his full focus and determination. I didn't know why but I started kissing him back, pulling him closer towards me. I was kissing him back on the same force and way he's kissing me. We both were devouring into and that's when my

"Let's do one thing. Why don't we have a party, just the two of us to lighten up the mood?" I suggested."No parents party?" Martin asked."Kinda. Let's know the taste of wine from the cellar. Dad has a good great collection of wine in his wine cellar." I said with a wink."Dad won't allow it." He replied."Sneak peek then." I winked again.He smiled and nodded his head. We grabbed a wine bottle from the wine cellar without anyone's notice and went back to my room. We left a sigh of relief after locking the door.We sat on the floor leaning on the bed. I opened the bottle cork and took a sip."How is it?" Martin asked out of curiosity."Bitter," I said with a disgusted face."We should drop then," Martin suggested."No, wait. It's getting better after some time. Here have a drink" I replied.Martin drank and gave the same disgusted look I gav

The manager showed us the different styles and seeing them made me realize how sorry I am for the 'Man' kind. They literally have dress styles on finger count, unlike women. We, women, have too many different styles for dresses. So many that if a girl starts wearing one new dress every day not repeating the dress she wore till her death, there will still be plenty of dresses left. I looked at Adam with a small smile before passing an annoying comment."Hon, I feel pity for you," I said giving a pity look to him."Why may I ask?" He replied in a sweet yet respectable way. I wish he spoke like this even when we were alone. Such an asshole."Because you Men have only specified styles of dresses, unlike us," I said with a dramatic hair flip like in sitcoms or dramas.Before Adam could answer the manager spoke first."Yes, mam. And we have all the collections, from traditional to modern." She said with a proud smile.
Married To My Rival. 18. Fallen angel(part-2).
She really got some interest in him. I mean why the fuck are you trying to flirt with a guy who's going to get married in bloody fucking 3 days, bitch. It's irritating me. My face was giving away all the expressions and that's when I felt my hand getting squeezed, it was the hand that's holding Celine's hand. I looked at our hands and then looked at her. She gave a warm smile and shook her head slightly.I took a deep breath and gave a nod in agreement. We both kinda have a telepathic connection. We understand each other's minds and we can read them to the full extent. I turned towards Adam and saw he was about to say something. I didn't want to miss this opportunity. So, I spoke first before he can give away the old-fashioned ideas."Well, the modern one's. Isn't that your answer, hon?" I said the last part looking at Adam with a big smile."Y-yes, dear. Modern it is." Adam said with a smile. I have to say he plays along in these situations ev

The manager gave started showing different styles and this arrogant idiot was checking my wedding outfit. I mean does that even make sense?. I pity her IQ. And like I have pitied her IQ, she pitied the whole males, saying we are unlucky to have such a short number of styles. Well, I guess it benefits us, we get ready in no time, unlike these ladies. They take forever to get ready. At least one hour just to choose the dress. Another hour to get dressed, and another hour or two for those pathetic plastic coatings they call as make-ups. Gosh, once you see a girl without make-up you never want to see that face again. No wonder why this arrogant always comes late. Before I can speak sarcastically, the manager spoke first and this idiot made said things to satisfy their filthy brains. She sure knows how to do things at this market. I gave a pissed-off look and shook my head. She started looking at the book and seemed to be so interested in the book. Is
Married To My Rival. 20. Exhausting fights and Celine's anger(part-1).
The moment I said I had my dress designed, Adam's face got lit up. Lit up as if he's able to get off from this shithole early than ever. The manager told us to wait for half an hour and left the place. What should we do in the meantime?.I can't just babble or fight with this idiot. Babbling with him is out of a box idea and to which I'm willing to stay inside the box forever. And the other option fighting with him, I hate doing it all day. I'm already tired of thinking of this idea. This idiot is not worth that.Moreover, I can't just plug up my headphones and listen to everything this idiot will sure say something else like behave yourself or act as if you're interested. I'm sick of listening to that from this bastard.So......what to do?. I looked at Celine and she gave a small eye roll. Yeah, I can feel her getting bored already. I just smiled and turned towards Adam. He was just looking at his phone and texting someone with making that stern fac

I didn't knew a honey moon would be this fun. It's really been a long time since I went out without any stress or tensions. I know Martin can handle the company but I still ahve my doubts. I really hope this idiot won't mess things up. I hate seeing those kinds. It was a nice move in doing work even during this time. Things were going pretty well."Hold on, let's be friends in the first place. I don't want things to be worse by us fighting even when I'm having a vacation." Evelyn sighed."I was thinking the same. At least let's not fight." I added. I'm really sick of these fighting and I don't want her to cry more than what she already cried.We went to different places and had so much fun time. I didn't know things were this good with her when we stop fighitng."You're working?" She asked."Yeah gotta check some documents before signing. Not everyone have people like Lyla to take care of." I shouted back."What so, you're jealou

I walked back into the room and found the track pant and t-shirt he preapred for me on the bed. I grabbed the clothes and changed into them. They smell exactly like him. Ha, they are tmepting. I didn't look at his house completely. So, I thought of taking a look. I was looking at the room when I saw a photo on the bedside table. In that I saw Ralph along with other two persons. Must be his parents. He looked cute when he was young. Was it during his graduation?. He was holding a bouquet. I was keeping the photo back when it felt down. Oh, shit, please don't break. I kneeled down in a hurry and grabbed the photoframe. Luckily, it didn't break. I was keeping it agian when the below shelf held another photo."I didn't notice it here." I said to myself as I grabbed the photo. My smile faded when I saw, I saw Ralph and another guy hugging each other while the other guy kissed his cheek. It wasn't graduation one but sure Ralph looked younger in it. Were they related?. Is he h

On top of that, this bastard left me with the new project details. I took my phone and called him."Hello?" He answered with a happy tone."What are you doing?" I asked with a casual tone as I clenched my fist."Oh, I just went to an amusment park with Evelyn. She's fucking scared with the rollar coaster. You should have seen her face. She nearly died of heart attack." He said in between his laughter. Damn he's enjoying his life where I was beaten to death by this stupid work."Hey don't hit me. It hurts even if it's a pillow. Hahaha, it's true though." It's been 4 years since I heard that smile and teasing from him. God, I missed that smile..... so much. All my anger and the reason I called has calmed down and a soft smile appeared on my face. I can't resist but to smile knowing that he's finally happy."Hello?. Martin you there?" He asked after getting tired from fighting."Yeah." I said while shaking my head to come out of the tranc

The moment Master said, I can take care of the company, I almost fainted. My body felt numb and I was about to fall when Ralph held me."You alright?" He asked."Yeah, just sensitive to shocking news." I said as I held my head.Mr. and Mrs. Lawrenson along with Master left the mansion and my anger was fuming."Let's go home." Ralph said with his cute tone."Just a minute. I have something to discuss with Adam." I said while gritting my teeth."O-okkay." He replied. I walked to his room and flung the door open. As I entered the room, I saw him packing his bags."You're here?. I was about to call you." Adam said with a smile as he looked at me from his suitcase."What is it?" I asked maintianing my cool composure."I want you to take care of the company for about two weeks." He said adding fuel to my anger."That's what master said." I said gritting my teeth."I know. And send me the files that are need

I didn't get what happened at the party. All I know is I was having a headache after I took a drink and felt drowsy later on, then slept. I don't even remember how I came home. But the words Adam said scared the shit out of me. I slammed the doors later on when Adam strictly told me that he fucking fired me from the office. I was crying in my room, when I heard a door knock. I didn't care. I didn't even replied, later on the door was opened and felt another person's presence. A strong smell hit my nose and I realized who it was even before knowing that person."L-Li." I said softly and broke out. She ran towards me and hugged me from side."What happened?." She asked with a worried tone."I-I don't know. Adam shouted on me and fired me from work. I don't understand why." I said in between my sobs."I'm here. It's fine." She hugged me tight."W-Why is this happening to me?." I cried out."It's fine. Come to Paris with me. I'll take care of ev

A lot of things changed recently. The work pressure increased than I thought, I had to maintain my mental fitness along with my physical fitness too. The contract went good irrespective of Mr. brown's pervetness. But still something seems off with that guy, he doesn't look like someone who leaves Evelyn easily, but why the fuck is he obsessed with her that much?. Damn, I agree she's beautiful and.... yeah, hot too but that doesn't mean he can act the way he does. My blood boils every time I see him near her. I was trying my best to get another contract but things doesn't seem to work out. Even though we made profit, the company's position in the market is still not up to my expectations. I didn't expectthe company to be on 1st place I would be greedy to think that, but still the position isn't that good at present. Even after all these, I found two things interesting and they are the things that made me happy. First, Evelyn's change of behavior. She's been acting strange lately, I m

"I know, I know. But my dad don't know about us yet." I said with a small tone as I looked at him. "So?" He asked with a confused tone. "So.... He might get doubt and I don't want that. I'm happy that you dropped me. Understood?" I asked as I cupped his cheeks. "Hmm." He said like a kid and looked down. "Good. I'll be going then. Bye." I said as I left his cheeks. "What that's it?" He asked with a surprised tone. "Yeah. What else do you want?" I asked as I shrugged my shoulders. I know what he's refering to and I can't stop but tease him. Seeing him act like a kid, sulk like a kid is a rare thing to do and I don't want to miss this opportunity. "Nothing. Good night." He said with a dull tone. I smiled with his sulking. God, save me before I die with his sweetness. I leaned forward before calling him. "Ralph." I called. He looked with a sulking face. I tilted my head to the right a bit and gave a quick kiss on his

"S-so, you haven't moved on?" I asked with a slightest hope."You're still asking?. Why do you think I joined the company?." He asked with an unbelivable tone."Then why did you act cold towards me?" I asked as the pain regained it's strength and the past events showed up."What else was I supposed to do?. Should, I say, Hello, Mr. Harrison, I joined the company as your secretary just to win your heart and make you fall in love?. Even it sounds ridiculous." He said with an angry tone."Then why did you do that?." I asked as a tear rolled down from one of my eye. I couldn't hold bakc anymore, the fact that he's moved on all along was eating me up and the fact that I'll loose him ws piercing my heart every second. But even after knowing both the facts are lies, I couldn't hold myself anymore. I want to run into his arms. I miss the warmth he's giving. I hate him for making me suffer."Why?. Don't you know it hurts me to see you acting cold and like w

Martin's POV: I said my goodbye to the Harrison couple and walked towards my cabin. I saw Camellia outside but with a anger funsed in her face. What's gotten into her early in the morning?. "Good morning. Ms. Camellia." I said with a smile but she huffed in reply and left. Weird woman. I opened my door and found a familiar personality with his back towards me. I checked again thinking I went inside someone else's cabing but I was in my cabin, then whose is this person?. "Hello. Who are you?" I asked as I stepped into the cabin. He turned around..... my body flinched and eyes widened in shock when I saw that person. "Hello, Mr. Harrison." He said with a smile. "R-Ralph???" I gasped softly. My body started trembling and I couldn't hold myself anymore. I wanted to run into his arms..... I took a step forward but I stopped. "W-what..... what are you doing here?" I asked clenching my fist and trying hard to control myself. "My
