Jason's POVI groaned for the hundredth time, dropping the pile of paper which I was holding. “What's up?” Ben asked. Ben was a new investor in my company, fortunately, we had few things in common so we blended together almost becoming like friends. “Family issues,” I simply replied, earning a chuckle from him. “Who doesn't have family issues, it's like a phase of one's life,” Ben replied with a laugh, making me force a smile. “Are you still on about your forced wife?” I asked him, earning a scowl for a response. Unlike me that forced a woman to marry me, Ben was my opposite. He was forced into his marriage, he has avoided his new wife as far as he could. He says he would never accept her as his wife. “Maybe you should just give her a try,” I suggested. Ben was about to reply to me when my table phone rang."What?" I asked my secretary.I've been quite harsh to everyone around me for days now. Even Alex, who knows how to do his job well, annoys me these days. How would I not
Jason's POVI angrily stared at Rachel who was fuming. What was wrong with her and why would she talk to me like that?“And what's that supposed to mean, Rachel?” I asked her with a raised eyebrow. "Violet is my legal wife, are you questioning my actions in my home?” I asked her angrily as her demeanor started to soften.“I didn't mean it that way…” Rachel started stuttering. “I meant why didn't you come up to rest,” she said, changing the narratives. Glaring at her for a long time. “This shouldn't repeat itself, I don't appreciate being questioned in my own home,” I said before angrily storming out.Rachel had ruined my mood and the whole atmosphere. All through my bath, I couldn't get Violet's image off my head.“What's all this about?” I asked myself. I felt strange, trying to shake off the feeling seemed almost impossible. Putting on a lighter outfit, I went back downstairs to meet Violet feeding Vince. I moved closer to them and gave a little frown. Violet saw me and chuckl
Jason's POVI rushed home immediately after the meeting ended, I needed all the rest I could get. Honestly, that wasn't the main reason but I couldn't agree with myself. Getting home, I noticed she hadn't arrived from work. Hissing internally, I went to my room and changed into something casual. I had something to tell her but she seems not to be back from work. Deciding to take a stroll around the compound, I got to the dining section only to see a mini-dinner set ready. I stared confused at the sight in my presence. “I am sorry,” I read out from the sticky paper on the table.I knew I wasn't angry with Violet before going. Even if I was, I was sure that she wouldn't do this. One she can't cook, two she wouldn't even apologize to me. "Who could have done this and what's this about?” I asked myself internally. Dropping the sticky note, I noticed Rachel's presence and I turned to her. “I am sorry, Jason. You know I wouldn't do anything to upset you,” Rachel said, reaching out to
Violet's POVVince and I sat in the dining room as Jadon served us our meals. “Thank you,” I appreciated his gestures. Taking a few spoons, I couldn't deny how the meal tasted great. “Are you sure the chef didn't help you with any of this?” I asked him with a raised eyebrow, earning hearty laughter from him. “Are you saying I lack culinary skills, I just don't have time to. I am such a good cook.” Jason said, making me smile at him. “The food is splendid!” I praised."Of course it was cooked by me, not by someone else," he said with pride.I knew he was talking to me and I raised my nose at him. " Must you insult me?" I asked glaring at him. " I didn't mention any name, " he chuckled with a mocking look.I gritted my teeth at him."Mommy, don't worry, you are the best," Vince said to me. The room was silent again as we munched our food. But the arrival of Rachel stirred an emotion in me but I ignored her. “You didn't invite me to eat, seriously Jason!” she said with a fake sm
Jason's POVI dragged her to a nearby room as I held her mouth, motioning her to be quiet. After noticing she was ready to listen, I removed my hands which I placed on her mouth."Are you crazy?” Violet asked with wide eyes as she gazed everywhere. “Why did you drag me like that? What’s up with the room?” She asked not even allowing me to answer her first question.“Yes, I am crazy,” I told her as she rolled her eyes angrily. “I want to take you elsewhere, the party is boring,” I told her. Lately, I had this feeling of taking her everywhere with me. It was slowly becoming an obsession. Trying to rectify the mistake, I had decided to stay distant but the kiss made me realize I wasn’t doing myself anything good. I needed Violet.You can call it lust or whatever. Maybe after the sex, I will stop thinking about her. My mind was occupied with her thoughts and it became more than alarming. I stared at her lips as she argued back and forth with me. For some reason, she seems angry with
Violet's POVI collapsed on my bed angrily as the day’s events came flooding in. I hated Jason for doing this to me, why were all rich people like this? He didn’t like me but yet he only wanted me for sexual pleasure and I had given in without any resistance. I threw the pillow angrily as I held my face. Why the hell can't I resist him?“This is not good, I had done something so despicable,” I said to myself in anger. “Why did you allow him to use you, again?” I asked myself as I stared at the mirror in anger. Jason didn’t deserve me, he just wanted a whore and I was there. I had to be more professional, this marriage was a contract and I had to realize that. Feeling very ashamed of myself, I ripped the dress off my body as I went into the bathroom for a cool shower. After taking my bath for several minutes, I got out and wore something more decent before retiring to bed. “Today was bad but I have to correct and retrace my steps,” I muttered to myself before retiring to bed. I had
Jason's POVI picked up my phone which had been continuously buzzing on the table, I gazed at the screen to see it was my grandfather. “Hey Grandpa,” I greeted as we exchanged pleasantries. We talked for a while, discussing business-related issues.“I called to discuss an important issue with you,” he said. “I am all ears,” I said."No you have to come see me right away," he said firmly.I wondered why my grandpa would sound so urgent on the phone. I just hope he is fine."I will be there soon," I said.I looked at my assistant and then we both left for the Clarksville family mansion. Soon we were there and I was told by a maid that my grandpa was in his study."Hey grandpa, what's up?" I said as I entered his office and I went to sit on the sofa.My old man stood from his chair and came to the sofa, sitting opposite me. He heaved a long breath before he started talking. “It's about your supposed wife. I don't think you should still be having any relations with her. It's high time y
Violet PovWith the intention of checking on Jason by calling him, I went into the house and surprisingly met him as soon as I stepped in and his pose seemed as if he was awaiting someone and his eyes lit the moment he set eyes on me. For a split second I became self conscious and shocked as well."Hey." I said softly, lost for words.He smiled widely at me revealing his perfectly arranged set of sparkling white teeth which made my heart skip a beat."You're up, what's up?" I asked curiously as I rubbed my now sweaty palms together as I got nervous.He chuckled and took a step closer."What do you mean I'm up?" He asked with a smile.I inhaled sharply as I was lost for words, I facepalm myself thinking of how I'd sounded childish, of course he was up and was supposed to be at work or something but here he was standing before me in the house, I wondered what made him come home earlier than expected or so but I didn't have the courage to ask him."Let's go on a vacation." He said suddenl
