63. The inhuman work(part-7).
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Everything 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 fRelated chapters

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

The whole drive went with both of us talking absolutely nothing. The person whose mouth never used to shut up is now staring at the road from the glassed window in silence while constantly reminding himself that he's guilty of everything that has happened. I pulled the car when we reached the graveyard. It reminds me of the funeral....again, which funeral? both. Both the woman who loved me died as I saw them helplessly doing nothing. I was a freak, I have always been, Adam thinks he's the one at fault but I know that it's me. I was there when both my mums left their last breaths and what did I do?, nothing, I stood there watching both of them like a freaking show and done nothing. I can never forgive myself, I hate myself for doing nothing. No one blames me for anything, even Master or dad, but everyone knows that if I had taken care of them with full consciousness then at least one of them would have lived. I'm a total idiot, I should be the one buried here,
Married To My Rival. 69. He spoke!(part-13).
I went straight into Adam's room. I saw him still sitting on the bed in the same place and staring at the blank floor or the wall like his world ended. Previously, I left him thinking he needed to be alone and he needs time to think about it, but if that's what makes him weaker, and fragile to break down and loses himself in that constant pain and guilt.I won't and I can't take it anymore. But, still, I can't make it rude or make him uncomfortable, he's on the edge to break and every wrong step will lead down to his breaking point. I slowly went towards him and sat on the edge of the bed in front of him."Adam," I called in a low soft tone. All his response was to come out of his trance and turn his head towards me."You had dinner?" I asked. He shook his head in response."You want to have it?" I asked with a small head tilt expecting him to speak. But all his reaction was shaking his head."Why?" I asked and he didn't res

"How many times should I say, so you will stop blaming yourself?." I asked while gripping his shoulders tightly."Never. It has always been my fault. I should have come home when mum asked. Then she would have been here." He continued blaming himself."ADAM, STOP BLAMING YOURSELF," I shouted on his face."I lost someone I love and I know how it feels. You would never know. So, shut the hell up." He shouted back.I let out a small scoff and let his hands go. All the strength I have been holding till now just broke into pieces. His voice echoed in my ears and that broke my heart more. I took a few steps back when my legs started losing their strength. I looked at Adam and his face was showing regret. He regrets immediately what he said, but it's too late."Mar-" Before he could say anything I stopped him by showing my hand."I don't know how it feels to lose somebody? right. I don't, maybe I would never." I said w
Married To My Rival. 71. First day.
The next day, I woke up when I heard my phone ringing loud. I groaned and answered it."Hello?" My voice was still sleepy and I didn't mind who was on the other side."Babe?. Are you still sleeping?" The familiar voice woke me fully from my sleep and I sat back in bed."Li. Why did you call early in the morning?. What time is it?" I asked while looking at my phone."Stop looking for time. It's half past 8. I thought you were in the gym." She asked with a confused tone."I was tired from the marriage yesterday. I think I overslept." I answered while rubbing my hair lazily."It's just been a day, you got away from and you became lazy?. I can't believe it." She said with a sigh and that's when the reality of yesterday's night hit me. The conversation I had with that asshole and the fight. Gosh, why do I have to remember it first thing in the morning? My mood's spoiled."Lyn?. You there?"

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
