"What are you waiting for? I don't have all the day to spend with you," Octavius said, making Rhiannon raise her head and look at him.
"Why are you waiting for me? Just go and do your work. I am going home," she said as she started walking."Are you sure? Do you want them to know that you are still alive?" he asked, making her stop then turned around."You! How do you know?" she asked as she thought she had hidden everything from everyone."What? Do you think that you have a secret?" he asked as he rolled his eyes. "Of course, I know my wife's name and I heard the news. It isn't so hard to put two and two together, is it?""Aaaargh, I think that you are so clever. Fine, take me to your house. We will buy a house later since we are married and we have to buy a new house to represent our new life," she said as Octavius looked at her.He didn't know how to explain what he felt but his heart warmed upon hearing her words. Although he was marrying her just to avoid being nagged by his grandfather, he started to think that marrying her wasn't a bad thing since he saw her real face.She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He wanted to hide her so that people could not see how beautiful she was."Will you pay the rent if you are going to stay in my house till that time?" he asked with a wicked smile on his face.Rhiannon glanced at him as she wondered whether he was crazy."Why should I pay the rent when I will be living in my husband's house?" she asked annoyedly.She was still sleepy and her body was weak thus she wanted to find a place to sleep as soon as possible but she never expected her husband to be so so…Looking at her annoying look, Octavius found her cute and wanted to give her everything she wanted but at the same time, he wanted to see that cute look more often. A smile formed on his face making Rhiannon confused and have the urge to beat him up but she was aware that she wasn't his match."But is that property mine or ours? As long it is mine, you should pay the rent," he said not backing down."I don't know such a thing. As your wife, what's yours belongs to me and what's mine belongs to you."Her voice didn't have any warmth or coldness, just annoyance and a little bit of tiredness."Naah. That rule only works when we get married. What I will get from now on is what's yours and vice versa as for the others," he said with a wicked smile on his face."But I can make an exception if you agree to my request," he added.The anger that was on Rhiannon's face vanished as she looked at him with her big innocent eyes.Octavius was memontantally speechless as he looked at her deep in the eyes. Although there was innocence in them, he knew that after what happened to her, the innocence would fade and be replaced with hatred and the urge for revenge. He had the urge to protect her from the world's cruelty but he knew that he was late and she had already witnessed how the world was. He vowed that even if he wasn't able to do so, he would try his best to protect her from any hurt and make her not change fully."Hei you. What request?" she asked curiously as angry as he had been absent-minded."You know since we are husband and wife and today it's our wedding night. We should do what a husband and wife do on this day," he said but Rhiannon was confused.Seeing her confused look, Octavius chuckled."What I am trying to say is that I want you. You should do your duty as my woman and wife at night," he whispered in her ears making her speechless and blush.She quickly got out of his embrace and glared at him before turning around as she didn't want him to see how her cheeks had flushed.Octavius let out a laugh as he saw her actions and how red her face and ears were. "You disgusting bastard! I won't stay in your house anymore. I have a few apartments and houses. You aren't the only one with houses," she said angrily as she turned walking on the other side making Octavius dumbfounded.He had forgotten that she was also rich and that despite the fact her sister thought she was dead and had taken some of her properties, it wasn't shocking that she had other properties that her family didn't know of. After all, it was the same for every young generation from wealthy families. They buy some houses in secret to avoid their families, him not being an exception.When he saw her walking further and without looking back, he sighed as he didn't know how he had gotten to this situation. He just wanted to tease her not make her afraid of him.He hurriedly followed her and in no time, he caught up with her.Without even alerting her, he picked her up and carried her in a bridal style as he walked towards the car that had been following them behind."You! Put me down!" she shouted angrily as she slapped his chest.This made the onlookers look at them making Octavius sigh."I am sorry. My wife is just angry at me," he said to those who had stopped to watch them."It's okay young man. You should be lenient to your wife and pamper her. Women like that and you will see she will stop throwing tantrums," one of the men said making Rhiannon embarrassed and hiding her face in his chest.Octavius chuckled when he saw that. "Thank you for your advice," he thanked the man before opening the car's door and walking inside."Who do you think you are? Let me out this instance!""Look, everyone is staring at us. If you continue making a scene, aren't you afraid that there might be someone who knows you and will inform them that you are still alive?" he asked making her shut up.She glared at him before turning around.This action made the driver speechless as he had never seen his master tolerating anyone the way he had tolerated Rhiannon."Take us home," Octavius said coldly when he noticed the driver's eyes on Rhiannon.He didn't want anyone to look at his belongings. The mere thought of everyone witnessing how beautiful Rhiannon was made him angry but he knew better than talking about it.The drive was so quiet as none of them spoke to each other.From time to time, Octavius would look at Rhiannon to see what she was doing but he only ended up annoyed that she didn't care about him.He couldn't understand why he was feeling that way, he tried himself to seem as if he didn't care about her but he found his eyes shifting to her once more.The car got in the
“Now that you know, do you want to divorce me?” Octaviu asked as he looked at the little girl in front of him.He had thought that she was mature enough when he first saw her ugly face which was full of heavy makeup and looked hilarious but now staring at her fair white face which seemed flawless, he knew that he was wrong.Not to mention her age which he saw when submitting their certificates in the registrar's office.Rhiannon looked at her with watery big eyes as she blinked innocently.“I have already married you or do you want me to become a divorcee at such a young age?” she asked in a soft tone making Octavious speechless while the driver was shocked by her boldness.“If Mrs Rodriguez wants to be a divorcee, I don’t think Mr Rodriguez can refuse,” Octavius answered making Rhiannon speechless.Why doesn’t he follow the rules? She wondered as she glared at him before averting her eyes.Octavius saw her behavior and didn’t say anything.To him, she was just his wife by name but he
“Morning,” Rhiannon said when she saw Octavius seated in the living room.Octavius looked at his watch and then at her before nodding and continuing to work on the laptop.Rhiannon frowned when she saw his reaction. She wanted to complain but when she remembered that they weren’t familiar with each other although they were married, she closed her mouth and walked towards the kitchen.“Good morning Uncle Alfred,” she said when she saw the man.“Morning young mistress, kindly sit down and I will serve you with your breakfast in a few,” Alfred said as he looked at her.“No need. I can see that you are busy. I will make my breakfast,” Rhiannon said as she walked towards the coffee maker.“No. I am been paid to serve you and the young master thus please allow me to do my job,” he insisted.Hearing this, Rhiannon stopped what she was doing and looked at the man since his words reminded her of her nanny.“Okay. Please prepare a glass of passion juice and a chicken sandwich for me. I think the
“Miss Clark, congratulations on becoming the president of our company,” One of the shareholders said with a smile as he looked at Kaylee.“What’s there to congratulate her? If it wasn’t for the fact that Rhiannon died, she would never have become the president. After all, she neither had enough shares nor is she talented at Rhiannon,” a woman said in a mocking tone.When everyone heard her, they remained silent, even the others who intended to congratulate Kaylee and form a good friendship with her to benefit when she took over.Kaylee’s eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at the woman when the room was filled with silence. She wondered why people were still talking about Rhiannon even after her death.“Sorry. I know that I am not as talented as my sister. I am looking forward to learning more from you so that we move to a higher level,” Kaylee said in a low yet pitiful tone.Many men and women admired her for her words and they didn’t compare her with Rhiannon. Some just rolle
The more she walked at the front, Kaylee took steps backward.“Why was my dear sister running away when she saw me?” Rhiannon asked with a smile on her face but her eyes were cold.“You! Aren’t you dead?” Kaylee asked full of fear.“What? Does my sister want me dead so badly so that she can take away my shares and my fiancée?” Rhiannon asked her making the latter speechless.“Rhiannon, is that how you are talking to your younger sister?” her father rebuked her.Rhiannon’s eyes finally left Kaylee and looked at her beloved father.“Father, you guys couldn’t wait till you buried ‘me’ before you gave the company to Kaylee?” Rhiannon asked with a pained look on her face.“But aren’t you fine?” Her father retorted.“Well, how don’t you know that I am not a ghost?” Rhiannon asked causing Kaylee to scream.“So, you are dead and you still appear in front of me? Why do you hate me so much?” Kaylee asked in a loud voice making everyone present speechless at her foolishness.“Is it the person wh
Rhiannon narrowed her eyes as she looked at the lawyer who lowered his head after he met her gaze out of fear and instinct to survive.“Is that so? Then why was Kaylee taking over the office?” Rhiannon asked in an innocent yet curious tone.“That’s her not you. Your mother is the one who put that rule there while Kaylee’s mother never did,” the lawyer answered immediately.“Well, thank you so reminding me that my mother only gave birth to me and that Kaylee isn’t my sister. I almost forgot since she has lived with us for many years,” Rhiannon said innocently but it was enough to make everyone apart from her family and the lawyer laugh.“Rhiannon!” her father shouted in anger as he tried to slap her.Rhiannon held his wrist on time managing g to escape the ruth and pain.“I am sorry but I can’t allow you to slap me in front of people! I am so beautiful that I can’t manage to make my face disfigured,” Rhiannon answered slowly and her tongue carried some fear in them making everyone’s m
No matter how shameless the Clark family were, they didn’t dare say anything thus they could only gnash their teeth as they glared at Rhiannon with deep hatred in their eyes.“Thank you everyone for today. We will be leaving for a board meeting,” Rhiannon said to the reporters with a smile.“Don’t think of taking me as a fool, I have my lawyer with me and I don’t think you want us to go to court as you know that the court will rule in my favor,” Rhiannon told her family in a low tone.“Can we go back to the conference room for a meeting?” she asked the shareholders who nodded their heads after hearing her words.“Also, kindly I do not need outsiders in the meeting.”Her eyes were on Aaron and her stepmother.When the two saw her gaze, they frowned and glared at her but there was nothing they could do as they knew that they shouldn’t go overboard they knew that Rhiannon hated them to the core and she had a lot more power in her hands than they did.“As for my father, since he has hande
Everyone was shocked but they all thought differently.“Sister, thank you so much,” Kaylee said with a proud look.She believed that Rhiannon had been pretending and that she still cared about her that was why she was doing what she was doing. She smiled stupidly as she looked around she wanted everyone to see how close she was with Rhiannon.Rhiannon was confused when she heard the words and was even more confused when she saw Kaylee’s smile. But after a while, she relaxed as she knew what kind of a person Kaylee was.Even without asking further, she knew that the latter had misunderstood her intentions.She smiled at her and gave a warm atmosphere as if she wasn’t the one who was cold in a few minutes.“What do you mean?” Rhiannon asked.“Sister, I know that you don’t want people to know how close we are but does it matter? I don’t know why you ruined my day but I forgive you. You, as the president, and I, as the vice president will make sure that the company moves to a higher level
