Chapter 21-INDIGO-I'm an idiot. Infact, I'm the biggest idiot alive.Why, oh, why did I let Rowan kiss me with his wicked tongue?His kisses are exactly like him. Wicked, precise, amazing. I can't even describe last night. I've kissed a few times before in my life but none. Absolutely none hold a candle to Rowan's kisses.He knows how to do everything.But he didn't come back home last night. I don't blame him, I rejected him for the second time. I bet he's pissed out of his mind. But I did the right thing.I'm not in the right frame of mind to be kissed by Rowan Grey. The man is a legend in all these things and I'm his inexperienced employee. I don't want to overstep my boundaries.I stop by the cafe before the office to get myself and Rowan coffee. Thankfully, when I get to his office to deliver, he isn't in.I take on the opportunity to survey his office. Its always spotless, everything is arranged in such an odd manner. Unlike his habits at home where he couldn't care less where
Chapter 22-INDIGO-"My dear wife, its like you've forgotten who you belong to. I'm going to have to remind you." Rowan's voice is rough and husky.I don't know why but a shiver runs down my spine afterwards. I try to pull myself together as I clear my throat and puff out my chest."Rowan, I thought we agreed that we would stop doing things like this." I say in a desperate tone but the look in his eyes is primal, carnal, hungry.He takes predictory steps towards me and I take steps backwards."You agreed. I said nothing." His voice is sharp and the realization that I've hit his desk and that I have nowhere to run to is sharper."But—""But nothing." He cuts me off and I swallow."Who are you married to?" He asks me and my brows crease as I search for the right word. "Don't let me repeat my question again." He drags as his hands clamp down on the desk on either side of me, caging me."Y-you, s-sir," I stutter as I speak."Who do you work under?" He asks as his right hand finds its way
Chapter 23-INDIGO-I face my shame as I escape from Rowan's office. Not exactly. The person my shame is being bared to looks shamed as well.Both Matty and I look disheveled from our illicit endeavors. Hers a bit toned down than mine. She throws a look my way and I mirror her expression."You tell me and I tell you," she offers as I settle down on my seat and I shake my head."How about we both shut up and focus on our work?" I propose and she huffs."Full disclosure, the whole floor heard you screaming." Matty drops the bomb and my jaw drops as well.I swivel my chair and she does the same so we're sitting opposite one another with a few feet in between us."What did you just say?" I ask her slowly."You! You, sir!" She cries and pants in an attempt to mock me and I frown at the same time embarrassment floods me.If I was red as a tomato before now I'm a pepper. I can't believe everyone heard that. And I'm once again trapped in the memory of being debauched by Rowan.God, I hate mys
Chapter 24"You're bent on forcing my hand to punish you, aren't you?"To say I'm confused after Rowan makes that statement is an understatement. "W-What?" I ask in a shell shocked tone and grips my right forearm tightly, pulling me close to him."How dare you? Do you think I wouldn't know that you were having a wet dream?" I redden at his crude words. "I come back from work to see you writhing and moaning over the place with this flimsy material you call clothing," he uses his free hand to undo the knot of my robe and like my dream, I am wearing a skimpy lingerie underneath."I don't know what you're talking about." I choke out, feigning cluelessness but Rowan isn't having any of it this night."Don't lie to me, wife. Who were you dreaming about?" I'm about to lie when he shushes me."If you lie, I'll know. I know every thing." He says and I believe him. He's crazy like that."I wasn't dreaming at all." I lie and he thrusts two fingers inside me at once all of a sudden and I cry ou
Chapter 25-ROWAN-Jax is a better man than I am, so getting him to talk after a subtle threat is not hard. He let's out a deep sigh before he bares his naked truths to me."To be honest, there's nothing going on between the both of us." He admits and I frown as I raise a questioning brow at him."It's not that I don't want anything to happen between the two of us, it's actually her choice. She specifically said that she's a casual no strings attached kind of girl. I am a no strings attached person too, so you think it would work out between us, right?" He pauses and I shrug."She turned me down, said she wanted nothing to do with me but friendship. I was confused because she's been giving me signs for weeks," he slouches his shoulders."Turns out she just has a talent for leading people on. But no harm done, it's not like I love her or anything. I wanted her, she didn't want me. End of story." Jax demonstrates with his hands.He and I both know that's not the end of the story. The tw
Chapter 26-INDIGO-"Stop! Stop treating me like I'm some kind of property that belongs to you! I'm a person! A real life person with feelings and emotions! You can't claim me! Just stop." I break down at the end before pushing Rowan's hand away from my chest. He'll still not satisfied. "Save the drama for the theatre. You pretend that you don't belong to me but the second I place a hand on you, you're all wet," he grips my knee and I make a sound that's between a moan and a gasp. I hate myself for it. "Rowan." I start shaking my head as I speak. "We're here." He cuts through my words before I get to say anything else. He removes his hand from my thigh and back to the steering wheel where he casually parks his car in the parking lot. They are a whole lot of paparazzi around the place and I pretend not to be overwhelmed as Rowan steps out of the car to open my door and offer me a hand. If we weren't surrounded by a hundred people that want the latest scoop in our lives, I would'v
Chapter 27-INDIGO-I turn around to see Charlotte Reid standing inside the the restroom with her arms crossed. She's wearing this tightly fitted zero sleeves gold dress with sparkles all around them. With her long legs, she looks amazing on them coupled with her high heels. "Charlotte," I address her informally. Calling her Ms. Reid while the two of us are in the same rest room would be weird. "Hm," she says as she starts to walk towards me. I suddenly feel the urge to shrink into myself because she's so tall. Even with my heels, I'm still not able to reach her shoulders in height. "What?" I ask her and she smiles sickly. "You think you're all that now, right? Because he's kissing you, holding you in his arms. You know it's all for show, right?" She says and I resist the urge to roll my eyes. Of course, it's all for show. That's the plan. "He's fucking you now but you know he's fucked much better women, yeah, women. Not naive little girls like you. Models, actresses, business
Chapter 28-INDIGO-"I did it for you," Rowan says in a voice that sounds so unlike him. Soft, almost caring."What?" I ask in an utterly confused tone."I mean it. I can't just stand and give someone a pass for disrespecting you. It wasn't about me of my name or my reputation or anything relating to that,"I don't believe him. I don't believe him one bit. I still remember clearly the first time he defended me. He specifically told me that everything is about him. That he would only defend me so that he won't look weak. I'll never forget that. "It was about you. You deserve to be respected. You deserve to be feared. You deserve to be admired. She had no right to undermine you,""I will never ever stand for that." Rowan says, all in a passionate voice and I feel like I'm in an alternate universe.It can't be Rowan that's saying all of these things. He doesn't care for anyone other than himself so why is he saying all of this. He must me pulling a fast one on me because that's the on
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
