Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Well...." Master paused. I was scared to hell with his words and tone. I shouldn't have called Ma'am as 'Mum', master must be angry.
"Can you call me dad too?" He said after a few seconds of silence."What?" It wasn't me who said that. It was mum."What?. Honey, he calls you mum and me master. It's unfair. Martin calls me Dad ." Master said with a soft smile."You scared the child, Mathew," Mum said as she came towards us."Oh, I'm sorry. It's my tone, I can't change it." Master replied while shrugging his shoulders."Martin. Call me 'dad'." Master asked me.I still kept my face down, it really feels different and I'm really scared to call master a dad."Dear, don't put pressure on the poor kid. He's scared, see." Mum said as she grabbed me in her arms."Oh, it's fine. Just call me dad whenever you feel like it. Okkay?" Master said, to which I replied with a head nod.

Married To My Rival. 60. Huh, I'm in love with Adam(part-4).
It was our first day of high school and mum told us the same thing 'Don't beat others together'. At least in middle school, that fight happened in our second year but in high school, it was in the first few months. When we came home, we both didn't bleed much but yes there were signs that we got into a fight. "What is it this time?" Mum asked. Even she got used to our fights. "A guy threatened Martin saying he will beat him if Martin didn't do his homework," Adam explained. Yeah, that part was right but he didn't tell mum the whole thing. I rejected doing his homework and he caught me by the collar and was about to punch when Adam punched him and.....that's how the fight broke out. "I declined it. But he didn't stop and tried to beat and..." Mum stopped me from completing a sentence and spoke first. "And that's how the fight broke out and you two didn't start it. Is that what you are gonna say?" Mum asked while folding her hand

From then on everything started getting...weird and hard. It started acting strangely in front of him and the moment we were alone...I can't control my thoughts of being near him and holding him in my arms. I didn't know if this love is a brotherly one or the lover one.....maybe the second one more. Everything he comes close to me, I find changes in me. My body starts reacting...my mind feels unusually active...making all my senses work more. My eyes start working looking at every inch of his face....my nose only smells his scent that tempts me into losing control.....my ears love to listen to his voice....more when he calls my name....my lips want to taste his lips, to know if he feels as sweet as he acts. My skin reacts to every touch he makes and the tingling sensation I get every time his breath touches my body...They make it really hard to control my feelings and my mind always tells me to give up and lose in him. There were times when I almost l
Married To My Rival. 62. The goodbye kiss(part-6).
My brain stopped interpreting things. I can't believe what my ears heard. "I broke up with Claire." He said and let out a sigh. "You broke up with her?" I asked just to get a double confirmation. "Yes. I mean, it's not like she and I were in any relationship or something. Even it's a fling I stopped it." He said while shrugging his shoulders. "Why?" I asked in a quiet tone. I tried hard to control the smile my lips were about to unleash. I was happy that he let go of his fling and single again but at some part, I still feel sad that he's single again and there's no way he will be with me. Adam moved aside and sat beside me. I got up from bed and sat on it. "I just gave a thought to what you said." He replied. "Will you spill it?. I'm not getting anything from your half words." I said with a bit impatient tone. You don't know how happy one becomes when the person you have one side love from gets s
Married To My Rival. 63. The inhuman work(part-7).
Everything was going good and even after going to Australia Adam didn't have any girlfriend saying it was only a fling, even though our misconceptions are cleared, I still kept my flirting behavior. It made me not feel lonely since Adam was away. But one day he called like usual to say the weirdest thing. "You have called after a long time," I said as soon as I answered the call. "Yeah, I have been busy with work, lately." He sounded exhausted. "You sound tired. Why don't you take a rest?. We can talk after you get free." I replied. His health would get disturbed if he does these acts. There's a reason why I and mum shouted at him when he wanted to take both Business Administration and Photography courses in University. "I'm fine. Not much tired. Moreover, it's almost been a month since I spoke to you." He said with a soft tone. "You know it's crime to talk in such a soft tone if you know that the other person has f

The next morning, I woke up and went downstairs. I met mum at the dining table. "Morning, Martin." Mum greeted with her usual warm smile. "Morning, mum." I greeted back and sat at one of the chairs at the dining table. "I made your favorite breakfast," Mum said with a big smile. "Thanks, mum. You do spoil me too much." I said as I started eating. "Of course, a mum would spoil her child, in a good way," Mum said with a smile and I let out a small chuckle in reply. "Did you get a call from Adam, yesterday?" Mum asked after a few minutes of silence. "Yeah." I nodded my head in reply. "And that he won't come home for a week?" Mum added. "Come on, mum. It's just a week. He promised to come back on his birthday." I said trying to comfort her. "He also promised to come back as soon as he gets graduated," Mum added and hung her head down. "Mum, I want to see hi

"I'm sorry, dear. Your heart must be devastated." Mum said with a comforting tone. "It was. But I'm happy, that he loves me as a brother. I can't ask for more." I replied with a weak smile. "Then why do I see the pain, dear?. You know you can cry right?" Mum said while placing one of her hands on my shoulder for comfort. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore and I burst one. I started crying out all the pain I have been holding for the past years. "I love him, mum. I love him so much." I said in between my sobs. "I understand. We can only give love but can never ask for it. First love's always hard to forget but my son's strong, he will come over it." She comforted me. I cried for some time and stopped crying after a few minutes. "Feeling better?" Mum asked. "A bit yes. It feels like a part of weight has been lifted off from my chest." I replied in a low tone. "See. You shouldn't hold bac

"What are you starving for?" I asked as anger started on me. "You really want to know?. Why didn't any of you tried to contact me?" He asked with a bit loud tone. "We did. Why didn't you inform us where you are going." I said in the same tone as he is. "That's an excuse. I didn't know the plan was changed until we got there." He yelled back. "You know what, that's an excuse too. No one thought that would have happened and when it happened it was already late. Don't shout at us everyone is suffering as much as you are." I replied as the anger raised in me. He's speaking without thinking and making lame excuses what was I supposed to do?. I was in as much pain as he is. "You should have waited for me." He shouted on my face. "You really thought, Master, didn't try?. We waited for two days until the people we sent searched for you. The only way to wait for longer was to let mum wait in the morgue. It took you four

As I walked towards his bed, I saw him sleeping peacefully. I sat beside him resting my back on the headrest. When I turned towards him, I saw how pleasant he is. I started stroking his hair gently and he moved towards me in response. I slid my hand behind his neck making him sleep on his arm and he adjusted his head on my arm comfortable in his sleep. I was looking at him still stroking his hair when I saw him murmuring something. I went near him to hear and... "It's all my fault. I'm sorry." That was what he's murmuring again and again. I can't explain how much it hurt me. He's blaming himself even though he did nothing. "It's not. It was never your fault, Adam." I whispered back while placing my forehead on his. My voice was trembling and I was feeling the same pain as he is. He was crying because he couldn't be here and I was crying because I couldn't do anything even if I was here and that hurts a lot. But I can't show my weakness....at l

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
