Chapter 7

"So, that’s what he meant by his ‘don’t disturb me’? It’s because he’s with Tamara? Is that the reason why he was so eager to make me go home? He even drove for me.

I smiled bitterly and tossed my phone at the bottom of my bed. My body felt the tiredness from last night and earlier. I closed my eyes and waited to fall asleep.

The next morning was a brand new day. It was too good to be true. I felt like floating when I read Alexander’s message for me.

I can’t believe it. Finally the moment has come! I am finally securing my spot! I am finally securing our company’s future.

I don’t have an idea what’s gotten into his mind. He told me he already arranged a private wedding for us. It is a civil wedding and I don’t care about anything. All I care about is I finally did it.

“You are my only trusted person.”

“Are you really sure about it, Ms. King? I think—“

“Missy… It’s just a civil wedding. Nothing grand about it. You can wear anything you want to wear or you can just come with me and let’s go shopping. What do you think about it?”

“It should be special—-“

I laughed at her and shook my head. Alexander and I agreed about it already. We are going to marry only for the sake of the company. He also wants someone to marry for business matters.

There should be no reason for us to have a grand wedding. We are going to marry for the benefits of each other. We don't even love each other. His heart doesn't belong to mine and my heart doesn't belong to him.

“No need for that. You already know the reason. So, you are coming with me after lunch so we can buy clothes for later use? Don’t worry it’s on me. You don’t need to pay anything.”

She nodded at me while fixing her thick glasses. If only this woman embraces her beauty and not hide it under oldies clothes, she will surely shine. I bet men would love to be lurking at her. Missy and I are almost the same.

We are the same when it comes to picking up clothes. I am only different because I clearly care about my looks, while she never tried to show up her real beauty. She hid it in those thick glasses and her hair is a bit messy at times.

“What time will it be?”

The time? I looked at my phone and read Alexander’s message again. He didn’t tell me the exact time but he said it will be before dinner. I don’t know about his plans. I am trying to go along with him.

I wonder what would it be like if I agreed on his offer the last time. Maybe my parents would experience the wedding of their daughter. My father would definitely have a big smile on his face and my mother would be emotionally tearing up looking at me.

“Alexander told me it will be before dinner. Maybe 6 in the evening. We still have time to look for casual clothes later.”

Missy went back to her desk while I continued working. There are so many paperwork. I need to read each of the proposals before signing them and I have a pile of folders on my desk. I am not even halfway there. There’s so much more to go.

“It’s lunch time already?” I asked Missy who softly knocked my door. Glancing at the little clock on my table, I realized that I have been hooked up in my work.

“We’re free to go today. You don’t have any important meetings this afternoon. Mr. Alexander gave me a notice for you. He said you were not answering his messages and calls.”

Oh? “I forgot to charge my phone. I can’t find my charger as well.”

It was just an excuse though. I purposely turned off my phone so no one would dare to disturb me or even contact me. If it’s really important, they would make a call on the telephone.

“Are you ready to tie the knot with Mr. Alexander?”

What kind of question was that? Of course! She knows how badly I wanted to marry Alexander for the company but if she’s asking about my personal opinion, I don’t know. There’s a part of me that is still having a doubt but I don’t have any other option to save the company.

If only my parents were here.

‘Mom, Dad, I am getting married with the person you have always wanted me to marry. I made your wish come true.’

“You are so sexy,” Alexander whispered.

After the civil wedding, he invited his friend to his house to have a little dinner. I also invited Missy with me. We are still waiting for the other guests he invited. Thankfully, we heard a car in the driveway. Finally.

I am wearing a tube top and a short skirt. Missy was the one who insisted for me to wear this. She said it will spice up the night. I didn’t know she has that kind of thinking. I always saw her as a conservative girly. I didn’t know she’s also naughty inside.

Alexander left to welcome his guest.

I was left alone with Missy who was busy observing the place. It must be her first time at Alexander’s place. And like me, she was amazed with the interior of the house as well. She accidentally glanced and when she found I was alone, she went to my side.

“Tamara is at the front door,” she whispered.

Tamara? What is she doing here? Seconds after that, I saw Tamara walking in with Alexander. She was holding his arms! Are they even real? Alexander’s friend was smiling at Tamara. They even welcomed her with a welcoming aura while they didn’t even bother talking to me.

“Hi! You must be Maya?” Tamara said. She looked at me from head to toe. Then looked at Alexander. I also heard some of his friends minimally laughing. I can’t fake my smile. I definitely can’t. They are testing me!

“Are you alright? Is there something wrong?” she asked again.

I looked at Alexander. They are still holding each other’s hands. I am not jealous but they should respect. They do whatever they want when I am not around.

“I am not feeling good. Can I go home now?” I told him. He raised his brows at me. Asking if I am being serious right now.

“Can you drive? I can’t leave Tamara here and my friends are here.”

“I can. Don’t worry,” I sarcastically said.

Missy tagged along with me. I felt sorry for her but no one expected this to happen. I thought we are going to have dinner with only us. I didn’t know Tamara would be here. I thought it would only be us. I don't know about their relationship but I know there is something special going on between them.

"Congratulations, Ms. King."

Missy said after I dropped her home. "Thanks, Missy. You can take a day off tomorrow."

The night went on with me celebrating it alone. I don't know what happened at Alexander's place. I am not curious about how they are doing or what's happening. It's just that I think it's a bit unfair for me. But what do I expect? We only married each other for convenience.

Alexander and I already agreed that we will live under the same roof but I still need to come here if I wanted to. My things are still here that's why I am still here. I won't bring all of my things to his house because I will still visit this house.

"Take this to Alexander's place." I instructed the driver. I told Missy to have her day off because I will be busy today as well. I will bring some of my things to Alexander's place.

It took me and some maids two hours to finally clear some of my things.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am." I smiled at the helpers.

It's already lunchtime, that's why the dining table is already prepared for lunch. There were lots of foods at the dining table. It's more than enough to accommodate two people. It only means his friends are still here. Is Tamara still here as well?

"I'll go upstairs."

I want to ask Alexander where I will put all of my things. We haven't discussed it. I am fine staying in the guest room, but I want to know his opinion about it. I am also fine with staying in his room. We are legally married. We aren't children anymore too.

We both have needs.

I knocked first before opening the door because it wasn't locked.

My blood boils immediately when I saw Tamara on his bed. Alexander wasn't there. Maybe he went to the bathroom. All I can see was Tamara, wearing nothing under the mattress of his bed. Her clothes are on the floor. I can even see her underwear.

She's sleeping peacefully.

Maybe she was too tired from last night's fight in bed?

I didn't bother waking him up. I immediately walked towards the bathroom. I can hear the sound of the water falling on the floor. He's showering. I opened the door without knocking.

Alexander is currently taking a shower. Naked with bubbles around his body.

His back was facing me. I can see his butt from here. The feature of his body is something women would be craving to touch. I can't help but imagine myself licking every inch of his body, which I have never done but I have tried it on his buddy.

"Where will I stay?"

His action tells me he wasn't expecting me. He immediately faced me. He was a bit confused with my questions but understood it later on. He didn't answer me and continued washing his body. I waited for him while he was doing his thing. I was staring at him and he didn't seem to mind it at all.

"I have prepared the guest room for you. Tamara sleeps in my room every now and then."

So, that explains her things in his closet? I have never been in his closet but judging from the last time I have been here, I know she has her own things here.

"Okay."

I don't have any problem with that at all. I don't want to hear their moans when they are fucking with each other.

"You can wait outside. She was exhausted last night and I don't want her to be disturbed," Alexander softly said while putting the towel around his waist. "Don't create any noise when you close the door. She's really sensitive to sounds."
