Chapter 12-INDIGO-"Ah, my head!" I groan loudly as I try to open my eyes.I slowly take a sitting position on my bed, before opening my eyes fully. I look around me and it's still somewhat dark. The light entering through the closed windows are dim, so I take it the sun hasn't risen fully yet. I check the alarm clock by my side to see that it's 5:32am. Shit! I'm supposed to wake up before five. Why didn't my alarm go off? Oh, my gosh, I'm going to be late for work if I don't get up now. Everything is spinning as I take weird shaky steps to the bathroom. As I turn on the shower and step underneath, a memory slams through me. "It's time for you to do those things you said you would do to me soon." No no no no no no no no. That was not me. I was not the one who said those words to Mr. Grey.What the hell was I thinking?Memories of everything that happened last night floods my mind and a shiver runs down my spine. I can't believe I did all those things last night.Oh no! I knew I
Chapter 13-INDIGO-I catch a cab back to the house and I simmer in anger all the way. Once I get to the house, I stomp through the halls and head for my room.Annoying, infuriating Rowan Grey!What does he expect me to do all alone in the house? I kick off my shoes and take off my jacket. I drop my shades by my bedside.I plop on the bed, tiredly. Why does he always boss me around? I know he's my boss, but still? He never actually talks to any other of his employees the way he does with me.It's just so infuriating.My back hits the bed, I scoot my body deeper into it so that I can lie down better. Once I'm comfortable, I intertwine my fingers on top of my stomach and look up to the ceiling.This is my life now.I wonder if my parents are up in heaven, looking down at me. They're probably disappointed. I was their model child, I never did anything wrong while growing up. Never told a lie, never cheated, heck, I never even associated with boys.Now look at me, I've gotten myself into
Chapter 14-INDIGO-"Unbuckle the belt." Mr. Grey—Rowan commands in a rough tone.My eyes are almost out of the socket as I stare at him."Do it," he grits out, groaning loud.I start to unbuckle his belt and I try as much as I can, not to touch his 'you know.' Once I'm done with the belt, he eyes me, silently ordering me to take off his pants.My hands have never been shaky.I'm always in control of my reflexes so what the hell is happening right now? My hands tremble as they come in contact with Rowan's pants. I start to undo the zip, suddenly, something overwhelms me and I'm up from the bed, grabbing my phone and pants that's on the floor and running out the room."Indigo!" I hear Rowan calling out for me but I don't look back. I dress as I run downstairs and I'm out the mansion's doors in a few seconds.I catch a cab almost immediately and it's only then that I relax to catch my breath.Oh my goodness, what is wrong with me?What just happened? What did I do?I let my boss husband
Chapter 15-INDIGO-I'm in deep shit now.I slowly turn around to face Rowan, I don't expect him to be few feet away from me as I do turn. "I'll get those files for you!" I chirp awkwardly, walking over to where he was sitting down before to grab the documents on the table.I'm able to turn around when I feel something behind me.Him.He's behind me. I don't move an inch. Rowan presses the front of his body to my back. From my slightly bent position, I carry my body up and stand upright.Heaven knows why I did that because now I can feel his hot breath against my neck. Why the hell did I wear my hair up in a ponytail today?"Um, Mr. Grey, I uh—""Rowan," he cuts me off. "I told you to call me Rowan." His voice is gruff and harsh as he speaks."Uh, R-Rowan, did you want me to do something for you?" I croak out in an uncertain tone."Yes. I wanted you to suck me off yesterday." I gasp at his vulgarity."Mr. Grey—""Rowan," he cuts me off again."You can't talk like that to me here. We'
Chapter 16-INDIGO-The work day drags on till it's over.I don't bother waiting for Rowan before I leave the office to catch a cab back home. Home. His mansion is now what I refer to as a home, who would've thought?But I really like one thing about this new home of mine—the quiet. I like how Rowan doesn't have people working for him, even though it's extremely weird. But at least it's something I can live with.I jog upstairs to my room and slam the door shut once I enter. I let out a tired groan as I unbutton my top. I start walking over to my dressing mirror, slipping my skirt off as I do.I take off the rest before I go into the bathroom to have a long and relaxing shower. I come out feeling refreshed. I use the free time to change into my short silky night gown and have a long overdue sleep.I wake up hours later. I check the time on my phone to see that it's a few minutes to eleven. Damn, that was some sleep. I get up from my bed to put on a thin silk robe before I head downsta
Chapter 17-INDIGO-The next day, I leave for work before Rowan. I stop to get coffee from the cafe nearby the office and drop Rowan's cup by his table before he comes in. When he does—which is five minutes later—he does the strangest thing. He ignores me and heads straight for his office, like he used to do before we got married. Heavens, I thought he would point a gun and murder me the first chance he got but now I'm worried. Very worried. I go back to work with the strangest thoughts circling in my head and later in the day, Matty seems to notice. As we head for lunch, I place a banana on my tray. Now, for normal people, this wouldn't be weird in the slightest but for me, it is. I never, absolutely never go for banana as a first fruit choice. Apples are always my first choice. Before I get to walk away with the banana on my tray, Matty stops me on my tracks. "What's wrong?" She asks me and I tinge my brows. "What do you mean?" I ask her in a clueless tone and she sighs, givi
Chapter 18-INDIGO-"There'll be no need for that, Uncle." Rowan's sharp voice cuts through the air and everyone freezes. Well, everyone except for Frederick."Rowan!" The man cheers in excitement as he shoves me from his way and heads straight for Rowan.He widens his arms, reaching for a hug and the look Rowan throws his way makes the man halt on his tracks and rethink the gesture."Why are you here?" Rowan asks Frederick, going straight to the point.Matilda throws a look my way and I understand what it means immediately, 'it's time for us to go,' it says. I nod my head and we both take steps backwards till we get to our cubicles.We pretend to continue working as we eavesdrop in on their conversation. I mean, it's not like we can help it. They're right there."I came here to check on my nephew and his new wife," he casually glances at me and I pretend to be fascinated by my keyboard."Oh well, I'm standing here. You've seen Indigo, if that's all, you can leave." Rowan says in urge
Chapter 19-INDIGO-"You can do this. You can do this. You can this." I reaffirm myself as I look at my reflection from the mirror.I am indeed wearing the 'hot blue dress.' It has spaghetti sized straps with a free neckline, the curve of my breasts are accentuated down to my hips, then there's a flay from my lower thighs where the dress stops. I wear my blonde hair down to reduce the attention brought on my chest and open back. Then I couple the look with white wedge heels, three inches at best. My makeup is light with drippy lips. Lord knows why I went for that option since it's dinner and I'll be sure to wipe my mouth in between. Well, that'll be a problem for later Indigo. I grab a white small purse which is totally empty safe for my phone, my card, a pen and ten dollars. Not really sure what that ten dollars would be worth when I step into a restaurant, holding The Rowan Grey's arm. "I can do this." I say to myself one more time before I walk out of my room and head downstai
Epilogue-INDIGO-"I feel hot. I don't know why. Do you feel hot as well? Or is it just me?" I rant to Matilda and Henry.Matty places her hands on my bare shoulders to caress me. "Indy, you're hyperventilating right now. Cool it." She says, and I realize that she's right.My chest is heaving up and down in an erratic manner. I feel like my head is about to explode. I don't know if it's because I'm nervous or if it's because of something else entirely.Why am I nervous a person might ask? Well, that's because I'm getting married today. Yep, you heard that right. I'm getting married to Rowan today. Again. We're going to have an official wedding today.It all started last two months after Frederick got arrested. The proceedings for the court were wrapped really quickly because of the confession I had. Charlotte and Frederick got long prison sentences. Rowan and I started to hang out more. Though I didn't return back to the company. Instead, I'm now working for Henry's restaurant with no
Chapter 71-INDIGO-"He might not have proof, but I do." I say as I step into the room, holding up my phone with a sardonic smirk on my face.Frederick pales immediately at the sight of me. "Wh-what are you doing here?" He stumbles on his words.I turn my attention to Rowan and throw him a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry for ever doubting you, Rowan. When I saw you with Charlotte, I just totally lost it. I thought- I thought so many things and I needed time to think and reflect."I thought about it so hard. But you never liked Charlotte, did you? Even before you got married to me, you hated sharing meetings with her. I thought about it and found it so hard that you would want to bed her. It all sounded so mixed up to me."I came here today to ask you more questions about it, then I ran into your conversation with this man," I spit out with venom laced in my voice. "I couldn't be sure what was happening, but since I've always known that he's a no-good sleazebag, something in the back of
Chapter 70-ROWAN-Ah, shit. Shit, shit, shit. I've finally done it. I've ruined my life through and through. I take a huge gulp from the champagne bottle in my hand and set it harshly against the bar slab."Fuck." I curse out loud. This is all my fault. If I had just told Indigo the truth when I found out maybe things wouldn't turned out this way.I was so fucking foolish to think that pushing her away was going to help matters in anyway. I didn't think things through that time, and my decisions are now biting me hard in the ass. I wish I was more sensible.I take another huge gulp from the champagne bottle, then groan loudly afterwards. I feel like I'm being ripped apart from the inside. Nothing in my entire life has ever hurt this bad. Absolutely nothing.Heartbreak is the worst pain imaginable. I never thought it was but now that I'm feeling it, I know it is. Indigo hates me now. There's no coming back from that. I bet she's going to move on from me sooner than later, leaving me a
Chapter 69-INDIGO-I can't believe the scene in front of me.Rowan and Charlotte are kissing. I feel like my head and my heart are about to explode. I can't think straight. I'm shivering all over.My exclamation makes them pull apart from each other. Charlotte, who is wearing a thin silky robe, breaks into a sly smile as she notices me. While Rowan, there's guilt all over his expression.So he knows that he's done something bad. This isn't even supposed to be hurting me the way that it is but I can't help myself. I knew him to be a liar and betrayer but not a cheat. Never a cheat.I guess I was wrong about that too.Tears prick the corner of my eyes but I try as much as I can to suck them back in with little to no success.Rowan reaches for me, but I flinch away, not wanting his dirty hands to touch me."Indigo, it's not what it looks like. I can explain." He says in a desperate tone as he pushes Charlotte away and starts to walk towards me.I'm backing away from the door, shaking my
Chapter 68-INDIGO-I don't know why I keep thinking about Joshua's words. It's been two days and still. I still can't get over it."How much he loves you..."Loves me? Rowan doesn't love me. He only Loves himself and his lies so why can't I get it out of my mind? Anyways, since I have no job now, thanks to the lying bastard, I have to start updating my CV to find a better one.Henry offered me a spot in his company but I'm still thinking about it. I don't want to be the girl who divorced a billionaire and now works for said billionaire's best friend. It has an odd ring to it.Though it would be very beneficial. I'd have a friend at work, Henry, and I can bet that his working environment won't be as toxic as Rowan's. Henry is a much nicer person. Or worse comes to worse, I could take up a waiting job at his cool ship restaurant.I think that's even a better odd. I miss that place so much. I hate that my first and only memory of it is tainted with a man named Rowan Grey. My goodness, e
Chapter 67-INDIGO-"Hi, guys." I say to everyone as I step into the kitchen.Matilda, Jax, and Henry are all caught off guard at the sight of me. I mean, I haven't read the room that Jax graciously spared to me since the day Rowan came by.They've been the ones to come checking up on me and all of that. Yep, I've been heavily depressed but last night, I don't know. I had this self discovery thing happen to me during a whack dream I had.I can't keep pining over Rowan my entire life. It's not like I'm the first person in the one who has been lied to, betrayed, and heartbroken, nor am I going to be the last.I'm not going to let a little set back in my love life predict the rest of my entire life. I had a pep talk with myself. Yes, I know it's going to be incredibly hard but I need to move on.Find a new job, a new house, something to love for. Rowan has moved on, he hasn't been back at the house, he hasn't been pining over the place, begging for another chance do why should I be the o
Chapter 66-ROWAN-Fuck, I can't think straight anymore. Everything is all blurry in my head, my eyes, my everywhere. But I have to attend this meeting.Even if it's just to tell the investors fuck themselves. The cab driver that drove me tontge office kept asking me if I was okay? What the fuck is that question all about?Can he see that I'm not fucking okay? I can't even remember the last time that I was okay. Wait, scratch that. I can remember. It was when I was with Indigo. When she was looking at me like I was the most important thing to her in her entire life.I just had to ruin that. When I get down from the cab, I stumble on my tracks. A few people on the streets throw curious glances my way but I ignore them. I don't give a shit about all of that.I choke on a cough as I manage to get through the front door of the building and into the lobby of my company. Everyone freezes as they spot me. It's been a while since I came to the office.Without her it doesn't feel worth it anym
Chapter 65-INDIGO-Rowan's eyes go dead at my words. Perhaps he was expecting me to listen to what he had to say and continue deluding myself blindly. But I'm not going to do that."You heard her, Rowan. Just go." Matilda points at the door as she speaks. Rowan stares at me, hoping that the last few seconds was just a figment of his imagination and I hadn't truly just told him that I would murder him if he got too close.Sadly, it's not. I harden my expression more and better. When he sees that I'm not budging. He sighs and his face falls. "Believe me, I'm sorry." He says one last time before steering around and walking out of the house.Once I can no longer make out his figure, I let out a choked sob as I fall to the ground, smashing my kneecaps against the cold hard tiles hard. The loud sound seems to pull Matilda's and Jax's attention as they rush to my aid.They try to help me to stand up but I'm totally a mess. I hear myself blubbering and spewing out useless rants. I cry and cr
Chapter 64-INDIGO-"Do you want ice cream?" Matilda asks and I shake my head, clutching onto my blanket tightly."Should I turn on the tv?" Henry asks and I shake my head."Should we run a bath for you or something?" Everyone of us turn to stare at Jax, he shrugs. I shake my head.I want to be happy. I want everything that's happened within the last two days to be a dream, a nightmare, that I'd just wake up from one morning and let out a sigh of relief. I want to be able to go back to the mansion to prepare breakfast for the person I thought I love.I want to not feel so horrible and betrayed all the time. I want to be able to eat without the good tasting sour and causing me throw up. I want to be able to smile without having to cry afterwards. I just want what I lost.I don't say any of that though. It sounds very pathetic in my head, I don't think I could summon the courage to actually say it out loud. So instead of voicing out of my thoughts and freeing myself. I shake my head and
