69. He spoke!(part-13).
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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 resRelated chapters

"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?"
Married To My Rival. 72. Was I caring for her?(Part-1).
The next morning, I woke up at my usual time. Thinking of all I did yesterday, was I too harsh on her. It was her arrogance and attitude I have a problem with. I pushed those thoughts away and got fresh up and went to the gym downstairs. This house was the same as the previous one but it just had a different room and rooms for the gym and other ones. I constantly checked the time but this idiot wasn't anywhere to be found. Is she still sleeping?. How can she call herself a model when she can't even maintain her body?. She really is lazy and I still doubt my professor for saying she's the top model of France College of Modeling. I don't care for her and that's what matters. After the workout. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a juice bottle and poured it into a glass. I drank it and started preparing breakfast. Should I prepare for her too?. Umm....urgh fine. I turned on the music and started preparing breakfast. Made some bacon and omelet and th

After some time, Martin and Ralph came back."Where is the other?" Martin asked."In their room," I replied not lifting my head from the files."What do girls have so much to do in their room?" Martin asked with a soft scoff."I don't know, but Celine and Evelyn do. They can go on hours talking about their modeling works and crafting ideas for their new designs and yeah, reading cliche novels too." Ralph added. That explains her arrogant behavior. And cliche novels? geez, grow up girls."That explains a lot," Martin added."But this time it must be Evelyn whining about Celine's departure," Ralph added."Celine's leaving?" Martin asked with a doubtful face. Well, I was doubtful too. Those two were inseparable."Yeah, she got a contract offer from one of the advertising studios in Paris. So, she's moving back." Ralph informed."That's really good news," Martin said with

Gosh, she escaped and without any delay, Adam started his business talk. Do we lack that much fiance?. And he's the photographer?. God, I don't want the past to return. I'm really not the back then Evelyn to fight with this idiot over and over again, I'm pissed already.Martin, really is a funny guy, he really didn't know about the job?. After efforts or so-called efforts made by Adam, Martin agreed and what made me more surprised is what happened next. Adam asked Ralph to be Martin's assistant.I thought he would agree and be with Martin but this guy always lets us surprised or worse shocked. And when Adam revealed the reasons for the companies doom, they really made sense. Damn, how poor is Lawrenson's management?.What the hell, dad. Whatever, I don't have anything to talk about business. I hated it from the beginning. The heavy work, the things we had to do, the endless meetings, the late-night works, and especially no time for food.I don't eat enoug
Married To My Rival. 75. Send-off party.
The next day, I did my daily work out and when I was in the gym, surprisingly I found the idiot and her friend. So, she does wake up every morning. I shook my head and continued my workout. We all ended after an hour and I went inside the kitchen to make grab some juice.I drank the juice and was looking for the items in food to make breakfast when I heard Celine calling me."Adam." I turned towards her. I personally do not fight with her and I don' treat her the same way too. It's with Evelyn. Besides, Celine never treated me like how Evelyn treats me."Yeah?" I replied."You're looking for breakfast items?" She asked."Hmm. The items will be enough for the breakfast." I said while opening the door wide for her to see."I'll help you with it then." She said with a smile."It's fine. I'll make for three. Just tell me what you both want." I replied."Anything you will have." She re

The next morning, I woke up.......ah, I was woken up from Celine's nagging. "Get up......" She shouted beside my ear. "5 more minutes," I replied in my sleepy tone. "It's late. Get the hell up. You need to work out." She said while pulling my hand and made me sit on the bed. "I don't want to," I whined. "Wake upppppppppp" She shouted loud and with that my sleep left. "I'm awake. Please stop shouting." I said while opening my eyes. "Get fresh up." She said while patting my back. "I hate you," I murmured while going towards the restroom. I came out and we both walked out of the room. "Seriously, what will you do when I go back?. You can't even wake up on your own." She asked with a teasing tone. "For your satisfaction, the answer is 'Nothing'," I said with the same sarcasm. Celine pouted and I smiled in reply. We went to the gym room and found my fake-hat

"Gosh, it finally completed," I replied when I crashed on the couch."I'm exhausted," Celine replied while crashing beside me."I'll bring something for refreshments," Martin said with a smile and made his way towards the kitchen."He's not even tired," Celine commented."Hardworking guy," I added.After some time, Martin came in with a tray and placed it on the table."Thanks, Martin," I said while grabbing a glass of soft drink and so did Celine."So, what's next?" Celine asked."Party," Martin said while raising his eyebrows. We both chuckled in reply."Let's get ready, then," Celine said while keeping the glass back on the tray."What about you?." I asked. He's filled with sweat too, he needs to shower."I'll grab one of Adam's clothes." He said with a smile and I nodded my head."Why don't you girls get ready. I'll wait for

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
