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
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
-INDIGO-"Don't look, but Joshua's looking at you." Matilda whispers to me, I scrunch my eyebrows and turn around to look. She nudges my elbow in frustration."I told you not to look!" She snarls and I roll my eyes. Joshua smiles and waves at me, I reciprocate politely before turning away."He totally loves you!" Matilda coos."No, he doesn't. You're just delusional. Besides stop talking about love, we're at work." I tell her, as I turn back to my computer and start working. "Work, Smchork. It doesn't matter where we are. Love can happen—""Indigo!" A demanding voice booms through my intercom and I see Matilda's lips tug up in irritation."Yes, sir," I answer my grumpy boss, Mr. Grey."Come to my office now." He says and cuts the line. I sigh heavily, before standing up from my seat and adjusting my skirt."Be right back." I tell Matilda and she mimics my words childishly.I walk over to Mr. Grey's office that's directly opposite my cubicle and knock on the door, before entering."Yo
-INDIGO-Do the dishes, lock the doors, close the curtains, fluff the pillows, sleep.I'm on the third step of my nightly routine, singing a Taylor Swift classic, when I hear loud knocking. I groan in frustration before dragging my feet to the door, I don't even look through the eye hole to check who the person is. I just open the door wide and shock is an understatement of my reaction."Marry me." Mr. Grey says in his serious demanding voice.My jaw drops wide and I immediately slam my door shut.That wasn't my boss asking me to marry him, right? It can't be. Mr. Grey would never drive downtown New York to see me, better yet ask me to marry him. That must've been a figment of my imagination."Indigo! Open the fucking door!" A voice booms from the other side of the door and I immediately jerk into action.It's really Mr. Grey.I open the door immediately, and he is real."Mr. Grey, you—"He pushes me aside and walks into my apartment like he owns the place. He stands in the middle of
-INDIGO-"Good." Mr. Grey says after I tell him my decision. He turns back to his office tab, and I wonder what I'm supposed to do now."I'll have my lawyers send in the papers to your mail. We'll have the wedding the day after tomorrow." He says in a disinterested tone and my jaw drops."So soon?" I ask.Isn't that too early? It might raise up suspicions. He slowly looks up from his tab and shrugs, like I'm supposed to understand and not him. "Why not? The sooner, the better. You'll sign the papers today, we'll review it tomorrow and get married behind my house the next day. You'll move in with me after. Simple." He says casually.The way he says 'simple' like everything about this situation is simple, when it is anything but. "I'll move in with you?" I repeat in disbelief.I can't. This is all moving so fast. We need to slow down. "Of course, you will. We can't be married and live under two different roofs, it'll seem too suspicious. If it makes you feel any better, we'll be sle
-INDIGO-Mr. Grey is kissing me. Well, more like Mr. Grey kissed me. The kiss didn't last upto two seconds before he ended it. There's no wedding reception. Jax and Matilda are commanded to go home immediately the wedding ends.I'm left alone with Mr. Grey in his huge mansion. He sits on a chair in his living room, tapping on his phone as I stand a few feet away—still wearing my wedding dress—watching him."What now?" I ask awkwardly, and it's only then he turns to me."The second room upstairs by the left is yours. Mine is the one at the end of the hall. Your things were brought here during the wedding. If you're hungry, there are ingredients in the kitchen, make something. If you're not, sleep. I'm busy, don't disturb me." He says in a curt tone and I nod my head.Good to see he's the still the same Mr. Grey as last week.I take his directions and go to the room prepared for me. I see that most of my stuff are already here. I drop on my bed and it bounces as my gown flares.I stare
Chapter 5-ROWAN-I shouldn't have done that. Indigo is looking at me like I'm some sort of twisted hero. She shouldn't even be looking at me at all. Her innocent green eyes should be focused on the floor and not on my face."You called for me, sir," she says respectfully. "Ms. Reid and her partners will be coming here to speak on the Alpha project. Prepare the board room and bring out the charts." I tell her in a straight voice. She nods her head and starts to leave the room. Before she crosses the door, I stop her."Indigo," I call out, and she turns."Sir?" She answers. "If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable here because of any vile comments, tell me." I tell her in a serious tone. She looks taken aback by my words, but covers it up a second later."I'll be fine on my own." She says, puffing out her chest a little, feigning confidence. "I didn't ask for your opinion on the matter. Something happens, make sure to tell me. If I find out on my own, it won't turn out so well for y
Chapter 6-INDIGO- Mr. Grey's hands are cold. Mr. Grey is awfully slow. Mr. Grey is dangerously handsome. These thoughts skip spinning in my head. He loosens the buttons of my shirt slowly, with his fingers grazing my almost see-through singlet. He takes time doing each of the buttons, and there are a lot of buttons. Is he feeling the same amount of heat I am feeling? If he is, his expression gives nothing away. As usual. He has the best control over his emotions I have ever seen. I'm sure not even the angels knows what is spinning inside that head of his. He's so unreadable. And it's annoying. Very very annoying. As he gets to the upper part of my shirt, I start to shiver. I'm tempted to moan at his slow touch but I control myself. His eyes still show nothing. Is he that unimpressed with my body? Not even a single groan or a breathless sigh. Wait a second, why am I even concerned about what he feels towards me? I shouldn't even be thinking like this. He's my empl

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
