"We'll be apart if I tell you the truth. It's better to part ways now." I replied."So you won't?" I asked while walking towards him."I think it's better to stop talking about it." He said while looking down."Ralph, you only have two options. Either you tell me the truth or I'll make sure you'll never see me. Adam never says 'no' to my requests remember?" I threatened."Why do you want to know what happened so badly?" He asked as he came towards me."It was me who fucking did something when I was completely drunk. I have a right to know, please." I shouted on his face but my words became low when I reached the last sentence."It wasn't your fault." He said while coming closer and caressed my cheek. I looked at him and he looked at me with pain."I can't let you worry." He said still caressing my cheeks. He leaned forwarRelated chapters
Married To My Rival. 100. What happened?.
The next day, I thought Martin would be happy..... glowing but his face was gloomy and lost. He thought he was covering up but his eyes never lie to me. The work was hectic so I halted that.In the afternoon the meeting was held and the sales department explained about their new perfume. It does sound good. Evelyn seemed interested in the meeting. She expressed her opinions and asked the doubts she got."So, that's all about our new perfume." The sales manager ended the presentation with that quote."I'm expecting a new idea for the ad shoot in the next meeting." Mr. Brown added. He came to the meeting even though he was of no use."Sure. My team will be on it, Mr. Brown." I said with a smile covering my pissed look.The thing that made me piss about him is not his unnecessary presence it's his unnecessary flirting with Evelyn. God damn it, she's my fucking wife you idiot.The meeting ended and the employees left the

"You slept on the couch without a blanket. What if you got sick?" Martin said the moment I opened my eyes."Stop whining. It's my day off. What time is it?" I asked while sitting up."Around 8. Go and fresh up. I made breakfast." He said before walking inside the kitchen. I stayed there for a while holding my head as the last night's words flashed in front of me."Your coffee." I heard Martin's tone. I raised my head and saw him holding a cup of coffee in front of me."Thanks," I said and took the coffee cup."Headache?" He asked."Hangover," I replied and took a sip."Why did you drink another bottle then?." He asked while looking at the whiskey bottles in front of me on the coffee table."I was tired. So, I drank to relax." I replied in a low tone with a groan."The lie doesn't suit you. You were thinking about the conversation we had didn't you?" He asked."

"If that was true. Why are you crying for him?. You believe you don't have feelings for him?." I asked. He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him."You can deny to me, but all I want is to stay true to yourself," I said as I stood up."Let's go home. I have to pick my stupid wife." I said as I extended my hand. He grabbed my hand and stood up. He drove me to the Lawrenson mansion but stopped the car at the front gate."You are this scared of seeing him?" I asked with a smile."Seeing me only ends up making things worse." He replied with a low tone while looking at the mansion."For you or for him?" I asked while raising my eyebrow."...For him." He replied with a small tone."I hope you find the truth soon," I said before I got out of the car."What truth?" He asked as he leaned to see my face."You'll find it... soon." I smiled before leaving the place.
Married To My Rival. 103. The fort of lies.
The next day, I woke up with joy that I would get a call from Ralph telling me what happened at dinner. Did he confess.... or at least kissed? But there was nothing.'He must be busy with his work.' I thought before heading into the gym.I did my workout and got ready for the tiring and soul-piercing work. I had breakfast and hopped into the car. Martin seemed unusually silent, today. He at least greets me. As I was thinking the same, Martin turned towards me and greeted me. He's acting weird.The afternoon came and the meeting was held. All the time the meeting happened, I found myself getting constantly stared at two people. One.... is my asshole husband Adam who seemed to be surprised as he saw me showing interest in my job and the second...Mr. Brown.My skin was crawling as I saw his stares. They were like daggers and I can feel him looking at every inch of my body. God, I encountered perverts in my life but never met a combination of assh
Married To My Rival. 104. He cares for me.
The next morning, I had breakfast with mum and dad and I really wanted to meet Ralph. I was trying till later afternoon but this idiot isn't responding to any of this. I'm really angry with him now. Gosh, why is he behaving like this?. I have a plan to talk to him if he can't answer my calls. I threw my phone on the bed and walked downstairs. I was spent some time with my parents and was about to implement my plan when mum called me. "Eve. Didn't you want to meet Ralph today?" Great timing mum. She helped me a lot. Thanks for the hint. "Yeah. Can you prepare the carriage?." I asked. "I'll make it in 10 minutes." She said while standing up. It's already lunchtime so I thought of having lunch with Ralph. "Mum, can you make it two?. I'll have lunch with Ralph." I asked and she nodded her head before leaving the living room. I pretended to look for my phone and finally stopped. "Dad, I think I forgot my phone upstairs.
Married To My Rival. 105. Adam's mysterious coldness.
"Why didn't you stop him?. Ralph no one can love Martin the way you do. Your love's true, why didn't you stop him?" I asked the same question over and over. "I couldn't. I will give him only pain if I stop him. You saw me suffering from my first love..... and he's still suffering. How can I ask him to let go and love me when he's first didn't die in his heart?" He asked. "Wise words from a wise man. I wish, Martin understood you more." I said with a soft tone. "He understood me enough, to take care of me. He never told me to stop loving and I won't even if he asks." He replied while fidgeting his hands. "One side love leaves pain. I never thought Martin is this selfish. How can someone do this even after kissing?." I asked him more like I asked that question myself but Ralph didn't reply. "What was your kiss like?" I asked as I turned towards him. "What?" Ralph asked with disbelief. "A kiss can tell

After a few minutes, I got a call from Celine. "You took time," I said as soon as I answered the call. "Come on. The makeup was too heavy, I called as soon as I finished." She whined. "Fine. Listen, I met Ralph an hour ago." I said and she sighed. "Did you ask him what happened?. What was going on with him?" She said with a worried tone. "It's....." I started and explained everything. "Oh my. I never thought Martin to be like this." She said the same thing as me. "Me too. Let's see what Adam says. I guess that bastard takes his friend's side. But I'm really confused about their relationship." I said with a confused tone. "What do you mean?" She asked when I heard the cutlery sound. "When we first met, Adam introduced me to Martin as his friend. But back in the office when we were at the meeting with Mr. Brown he introduced Martin as Martin Harrison the other heir of Harrison's family. Doesn't it sound different?
Married To My Rival. 107. I did it for him.
He finished talking and we walked back to his cabin. I followed him slowly but carefully and saw him sighing and as soon as he sat back on his chair. I watched him through the glass door as he ran his palm all over his face to clear his mind. His mood changed to gloomy within seconds.What is he an actor to change his emotions?. I guess. As I watched, his gaze shifted from the computer screen to the photo frame. He halted his work and started watching it with an emotionless face. He slowly grabbed the photo frame and ran his hand through the photo in it giving a faded smile."Was he his first love?." I muttered.His face gave away emotions that showed distress and suffering. A tear ran down from one of his eyes. I was taken back, he really is suffering.I knocked on the door and he quickly wiped his face with his fingers to remove the tears that didn't seem to stop. "Come in." He said after clearing his throat. I opened the door and his face plastered the smile.

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
