27. A promise to forget(part-3).

2024-10-29 19:42:56"Happy birthday, Martin. May your wish come true in no time." I wished him with my whole heart.
Every year for his birthday's when I said the same thing, he always said he never needed anything as he got all he wanted. But this year, he wished for something, and that I want his wish to come true at any cost even if it's a supernatural thing."I hope for that too, Adam," Martin said while looking at me. Martin cut the cake and we played for some time. He took shower after I dipped his face on the cake and I gave him my clothes to wear."Martin, did you become skinny or did I gained weight?" I asked while checking my loose clothes on him."I don't think you gained the weight," Martin said holding looking at the t-shirt he wore."Then why the hell did you get skinny?" I asked with a bit angry tone."Hold on. Did you come all the way from Australia just to scold me on my birthday?" Martin asked while raising oRelated chapters

We both were back in my room and started working. I gave the financial data of Lawrenson's Pvt Ltd to Martin just to scrutinize it."Adam." He called after checking the data."Um?" I replied still looking at the laptop screen."I have a doubt." He said."And?" I paused."Your company...." He was about to continue the sentence but I stopped him and spoke first."Our company," I said with a cold tone."Fine, sorry. Our company started getting losses because of the cash embezzlement, but why did the Lawrenson's company start getting losses?" He asked with a confused tone."It's because the company was run by a bunch of old dickheads." I replied with a pissed tone."Don't joke around, Adam. I'm being serious." Martin said with a serious tone."So am I. Look at their expenses, who spend billions of dollars in the unnecessary advertisement. If spending those billions i

The next morning I woke and found Celine still sleeping. I smiled looking at her, she's cuddling the pillow in her sleep. I went to the bathroom and got fresh up and started waking Celine after coming out."Celine.....wake up," I said while shaking her shoulder."Let me sleep." She said in her sleepy tone and turned to the other side."It's about time, wake up," I said and shook her strong enough to disturb her sleep."Why don't you let me sleep?" She sat back on the seat while whining."Stop whining and get ready. Let's go to the park for jogging." I said while throwing the pillow on her face."Cruel". She murmured and stood up from the bed. She came out of the bathroom and got ready.We both came out of the house and started jogging to the park and continued from there. We took a small 5 minutes to break in the middle and did the jogging for one and half hours."It feels good to
Married To My Rival. 30. Pity is a mere excuse(part-1).
I saw those two girls in front of me and I blame myself for believing this arrogant idiot is of any use. The weather is so chilling that you get cold easily if you stay outdoors for an hour and this idiot wore a sleeveless and above knee-length dress. I can clear the goosebumps on her hands. I can never ever imagine the range of this girl's stupidity. Should I call her dumb or stupid or idiot or arrogant? I guess every word suits her now. Gosh, I can see her hiding the facial expression and stiffness that was caused because of cold. And I thought Celine is a bit smart than this stupid girl but I guess whoever makes friends with this stupid girl becomes like her. At least Celine wore a dress that came till her calves, even though her legs were covered I can still see the shivering of her hands due to cold. "Whatever gets the hell inside first," I said with a pissed tone, pointing my index finger towards the entrance door a second after her arrogant saying.

I never thought she had a good smile till I came close to her. Fine, at least she has a good smile even if she doesn't have a good character. That works whenever we had to meet people or attend any parties or meetings. The boring stuff oldies make us do. Ugh, thinking of that makes me feel pain in my head. "Then let's fix it then," I replied with a small warm smile. Evelyn nodded her head in agreement. I removed my hand from her chair and moved a bit away from her. I saw Evelyn's face turning pissed and so was mine. Shed asked Celine about the rings and Celine replied saying they are good. I turned towards Martin making my original stern face. My cheeks feel numb from smiling like an idiot for the sake of those paparazzi idiots. I even have to make a fake smile in front of the whole world, family, and even the salesman. I'm happy at least I have Martin to share my feelings. I can't keep my feelings from him, he made me promise to share everything
Married To My Rival. 32. One true friend(part-1).
Adam didn't reply at that moment. He just stood there looking at me, what the hell is he examining?. I'm not a lab rat or anything. Moreover, I was freezing at this cold. Gosh, I really regret wearing this dress. What was running on my stupid mind, that made me chose this dress to wear at this extremely freezing temperature. And this stupid guy was still looking at my face like, something is running in front of him. He took a deep breath and shouted on our face to go inside. I never saw Adam getting angry. I mean,as a matter of fact, I only met him three and half years later, but even back then at the university in Australia, he was pissed at me and my behavior but he was never angry with me. On top of that, his cold and deep voice was so strong that it made me shiver more than the shivering I got from this fucking cold. Celine and I didn't reply anything, we just went inside without uttering a single word. Judging by his tone and face now is

"What is 'that'?" I asked with a sheepish smile."You know what that is, Lyn. I'm sorry for calling." She apologized again."Calling your best friend 'Babe' isn't a wrong thing, Li. Please don't." I said while cupping one of her cheeks.She finally lifted her head and looked at my face and smiled in return. Even after we had this long stupid conversation and I even recalled my fucking memory but still those two idiots haven't come inside. Gosh, these two love birds. I sighed.After some time those two came inside, when I asked him about the conversation they said it's about the business. I know something's fishy and it's definitely not about business, I mean no one talks to your friends mockingly and smiling like a complete maniac while talking about serious business shit. Anyhow, that was what Martin wanted me to believe, so why don't just act along like I was doing since the day I came to Manchester.They both sat on the c
Married To My Rival. 34. The reason for his sorrow(part-1).
The next morning I woke up feeling numbness on my left arm and like always there he was, using my hand as a pillow. I guess, I wasted my money on these pillows. He laid his head on the pillow when we were going to sleep and the morning when I woke up, I see him hugging tightly and using my arm as his pillow. This is the daily routine that happens. I slowly grabbed the phone from the bedside table with my right hand and it showed the clock as 7'o clock. I kept it back on the bedside table and turned towards the sleeping bear beside me. He even hugs me like a baby bear. I don't why but seeing him around me cools my anger and he seemed cute nowadays. Acting all cute and doing things like pouting and all. I was looking at him when I saw him smiling in his sleep. He looks cute when he smiles. I always loved seeing his smile, I was looking at him, smiling like an idiot when my mind drifted onto the more adorable smile I saw yesterday. That arrogant one may have stupid beha

"Come on, Adam. What will I probably do, there?" Martin asked. "Well, umm... " I said pretending like I'm thinking while getting up from my seat. "Yeah, you can comment on my look. Help me not to lose my temper on that arrogant idiot. Help me not to see that idiot girl's stupid actions." I said while walking towards him. "That seems like too much work. I think I can't handle that. I will pass and do some simple works like finding the idiot who stole our company's money." Martin replied sarcastically. God, he thinks I'm making him do stupid things.... again. It's a common misunderstanding we both get. I like having his company and I don't and can't explain that to him, he often sulks or makes sarcastic comments about them... in the present like this. I let out a soft chuckle before answering. "You think, I'm making you do stupid things, don't you?" I asked while taking steps closer to him. "What else conc

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
