44. Where is Martin?.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56My head was aching from lack of sleep and while thinking about last night. I think I was too stubborn yesterday. I shouldn't have done that. I should have let my desire take control over me. I closed my eyes and was regretting the things I did when the sound of alarm jolted me and brought me back to reality.
I sighed and turned it off. I sat on the bed and closed my eyes again. But the sadness in Martin's eyes flashed again. He has been sad even before I kissed him and the behavior change and flirting with Ralph that's a whole different story. What's going on with him?.Why is the sad?. These two questions are frustrating and wrecking my heart at the same. I came out of my thoughts when I heard a door knock. Damn it, who is it that's knocking on the door early morning. I got up from the bed with a frustrated face and went towards the door. I opened the door and found the housemaid holding a tray in her hands.
"Good morning, young master." She greetedRelated chapters

The next morning I woke up after feeling myself relaxed. I turned towards my other side and I didn't find Celine. I sat back on the bed and took my phone. When I checked the time it was almost 10. I sat back with a jolt and went inside the bathroom to get freshen up. What the hell, the time's already 10 and no one bothered to wake me, even this Celine didn't wake me. I got fresh up in no time and went downstairs. I found mum and dad in the living room and there's no sign of Celine in the hall. I went towards the dining room and she wasn't there either. The maid brought the coffee and I went towards the living room holding the coffee mug."Good morning, Eve." Dad greeted with a big smile. "Morning, dear." Mum greeted right after dad. "Morning," I said greeted back with a smile, and sat on the couch. "Why didn't you guys wake me up?" I said while making myself comfortable on the couch. "You seemed tired, these days. So

I rolled my eyes in reply and took a towel. I went into the bathroom and came out after taking shower. After few minutes, Celine went inside the bathroom to take shower. I went towards my wardrobe and found after finding for almost 20 minutes I took out a knitted navy blue round neck half sleeve dress that came up to my knee and had a flowy at the end. I straightened my hair and curled them at the end and left it. I took out diamond earrings that had a matching slim single bangle which I wore to my left hand. I took out my white stilettos and wore them. Did a light make-up and ready to go. The time I got ready, I saw Celine coming out of the bathroom. She went straight towards the wardrobe and took out a sleeveless dress. "Li. Take another one that had at least half sleeves." I suggested. "Why? jealous that your in-laws will think of me as a bride if they see me in this?" She said with a smirk on her face. "You really wish,

I wiped the tears that formed in my eyes and took a long breath. I kept the plastered smile before opening the door. I saw dad in front of me. "Yeah, dad?" I asked. "Everything is ready for the dinner. We need to get there, now." Dad replied with a smile. "Okkay. Give me a minute." I said with a nod and closed the door. I went into the bathroom and splashed water on my face thinking it would help me clear the thoughts in my head. It didn't, the moment I closed my eyes, the scenes of yesterday's pop up and the tears that he shred. I dried my face with the towel, throwing those thoughts into the back of my head, and came out of the room. I saw dad waiting for me. "Come on," Dad said with a smile and we both started walking out. "It would be perfect if Martin was there. Don't know where he left. He didn't even tell anything to any of us." Dad said with a bit low tone and shook his head sideways.

I walked towards the reception. While I was intended to walk as fast as I can, to others it resembles as if some dog or hitman is behind me. I walked at my maximum fast pace and soon reached the entrance. I looked at the reception with happiness in my eyes.....but I couldn't find Martin there. God, damn it, where is he?. I was walking towards the reception while roaming my eyes around the hall searching for that one bloody asshole. I will literally beat the shit out of him, if I see him, now. The anger for his actions, the pain of making him cry, and the curiosity to see him. All these feelings are fucking up my brain. God, why the hell am I the one is having all these problems?. I hate my life sometimes. I reached the reception and took a long breath to control my curiosity before speaking. "Excuse me," I said while tapping my finger on the reception. "Hello, Mr. Harrison." the receptionist greeted with a smile. "Hello
Married To My Rival. 49. The big day.
I woke with my gentle pats on my hair. It felt so good, it's been a really long time since I woke up without my alarm buzzing or Celine screaming. I opened my eyes with a smile on my face and found Celine, caressing my hair, softly."Good morning, princess." She said in a soft tone."Morning, what are you doing?" I asked still with a sleepy tone."Waking you up, gently. Don't you like it?" She asked while playing with a strand of my hair."Yes, but what got into you?." I asked while stretching my body."Nothing. Why do you ask?" She replied and ended with a soft chuckle."Because it's so unlike you. Am I in a dream?. I must be in one." I said while poking her cheeks."What are you doing?" She asked while looking at the hand that's poking her cheeks."Testing whether I'm in a dream or not," I said and poked her again. She smiled making my finger poke into her dimple."

The morning, I woke up when I heard the alarm buzzing like a roaster. I groaned in annoyance with the sound of that stupid alarm clock. I didn't even know who kept it and I'm pretty sure it wasn't me. I opened my eyes slowly and grabbed the phone from the bedside table, I cut off the alarm clock and kept it on the table again. Likewise, my hand felt numb like every other day, but this time that wasn't paining, I was happy to hold him. I can feel my hand still around his shoulder and his hand on my bare chest. I turned my head towards him and saw found him sleeping peacefully. I also found a blanket on us. He still sleeps like a puppy. Oh, now he's smiling. Must be having a good dream. That's when the reality struck. The conversation we had last night, the kiss we had, and the conversation before and after that. I really want him to be happy like he deserved. I can and will do anything for him to be happy. I pulled him closer towards him and he

I closed the door and walked towards the couch carrying the wedding outfits in my hands. "This one's for the best man and this one's for the groom," I said while placing them on the couch beside Martin. I saw Martin looking at the tuxedo and examining it. His smile started growing as the minute of him seeing the tuxedo started increasing. "Martin, the breakfast is in front of you not beside you. Don't look at that tux with that hunger in your eyes." I said after snapping my fingers and making him come back to reality. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm thinking of you in the tux. You would look great." Martin replied right after I said. "You always had a thing for tuxedos, isn't it?" I asked while sitting on the armrest beside him. "No. I always had a thing for you in the tuxedos." Martin said with a smile while raising one of his eyebrows. "Yeah, yeah. But as I saw both the outfits side by side, the colors for t

I went towards the door and opened it and saw Dad and Ron. They both came in and were shocked to see Martin inside my room. "Martin, when did you come?" Dad asked with a surprised tone. "Last night, Master. I'm sorry for not informing you about my sudden disappearance. I will make sure this won't happen again." Martin apologized with a bow. "It's fine, son. Explain it to your dad, he was worried sick about you." Dad said in reply. "I'm sorry, dad. I should have informed you at least." Martin apologized again. "Promise me this won't happen in the future," Ron asked. "Promise," Martin replied immediately. Ron let out a small weak smile in reply. I'm sure he's going to answer hundreds of questions once he reaches home. "Are you both ready?. We need to get down." Dad broke the silence. "Yeah, just about to leave," I replied. "We both will be at the aisle, then," Dad sa

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
