Chapter 17: -
With the morning light, I knew my new life was knocking on my door with so much force it might break me down. It's scaring me to the core, and it's making it hard to keep my head up and leveled with society. Things that should not happen are playing in my brain, pros, and cons, for my previous decision lining up on my blank brain board, but the cons are more than the pros. I have to go past this negative thought as soon as possible because there is no turning back now. I'm doing this for Shaw and only for her.
With my last breath of negativity out, I made my way to my shower, getting ready for this day to get down and get over it. I'm going in to meet his family today, and then I will go for my dress selection and makeover to look like a lady from a good background. I haven't received a proper meal in days, and now it's showing its effect
Chapter 18Regan pov: -Yeah, let's go. Why not! I stood up with my fake enthusiasm and saw his smirk drop like a bomb.Haha, take that richly bit*h."Let's go then," he said, taking my hand into his, kissing my knuckle, making me simile for the heck of the show. But on the inside, I was gagging. 'let's move before I throw all excellent food on your face. I muttered under my breath.I might be incorrect if I say this house is big. Because it's freaking mention!! There were endless rooms, all having their separate bathrooms and walk-in wardrobe, these people were filthy rich, And here I am, who is struggling to put her one-time meal.
Chapter 19I was counting the seconds when something caught my eyes or more like someone."Hi," I screamed, stopping whosoever my lifesaver was. By the look of it, he looks like a butler to me. With his black coat and sleek hair, he reminded me of Herbert Cadbury from the cartoon of Richie Rich.Oh hell, my imagination is on. If you give me a yellow ribbon right now, I would probably stuff it in my face thinking it's a banana."Can I help you, miss"?"Regan, my name is Regan. I'm here with Alex, and I wondered if you know where the dining room is? I lost my way while searching for the washroom" He gave me a skeptical look but said nothing and started walking, waving his hand in a sign that said Follow me.So, I followed him like a lost puppy every turn. Every corner was a fascinating image of wealth and power. Every chandelier I saw was like a diamond hanging from the sky. This place was so beautiful but so sad at the same time. It was like someth
Chapter 20..............Regan pov: -With the energy I came up with, I turned my mind and body in Alex's grip. I turned, coming face to face with Alex, whose eyes could freeze the whole Niagara Falls. His stare down with his brother added too much to my dismay. When I looked back, Xavier's face was not any different than Alex's.It was like he knew that there was something more than it looked like. With every calculating gaze he sent my way, I realized that it's hard for me to keep my loving face up, For the task of being an ideal girlfriend will not be that easy.Alex's cold breath with a bit of warmth was sending shivers down my back.Bad Regan, evil
Chapter 21Every day after that day in the boutique was like a life of a fancy haze. The announcement of our marriage to the media. Distribution. Everything was like I was in a Disney movie, and the prince charming would come and fetch me from this misery, but I know it's not true. My life was not a romantic movie or novel; it was my real life where I have signed my life on a piece of paper to a devilish king.Today is the very day when I'm getting married to the devil himself. I was all dressed up to be the perfect bride. The gown was so beautiful that it's hard to define its beauty as it hugged me in all the right places. My hair and make-up were done by some high-class stylish, but it was not some high-class marriage like it should have been. There are only a handful of people in my marriage—Alex's parents, Best man, bridesmaid, and a few more people I don't know. I feel so alone that it's pinching me like a hole in my heart.I wish Shawna were he
Chapter 22He is an arrogant brat who is taking a toll on me; he is trying to break me and make me hollow like he is. But not anymore.I composed myself to meet his eyes for the first time after I gained the title of 'His Wife' and aimed as many daggers. I hoped he would tatter and break, but instead, he just walked off the altar to accompany his friend to the reception party, leaving me standing there alone but not for too long. A girl with blond hair came to help me off the altar with a cute smile."Oh, sweet Jesus, you are prettier than Xavier mentioned. You are beautiful." I was shocked that Xavier talked about me, but who is this girl. She was so beautiful that she could easily make any guy fall to his knee. Clutching my hand in hers, she led me outside, where everybody was enjoying my marriage. Xavier came and stood before us, his hands folded on his chest, and he was staring at the girl next to me, to which she blushed."Aisling, I told you to
Chapter 23: -I don't know what happened after I fell asleep! How I am in a bedroom, and who changed me. But I can see that its midnight, and nobody's home. The moonlight lights the room where I am. I feel so tired, exhausted perhaps, and hungry. So with another yawn, I got out of bed to get something to eat. I was wearing an extra-large t-shirt and shorts, and both of them were not of my size. Who am I to complain? The only thing I can wish for is, I hope it was not Alex who changed me. Because if he changed me, then I don't think I will be able to face him again.I never had a boyfriend because I never believed in love. I'm not planning to fall soon, but the thing I feel when the devil around makes my skin burn in a good way. I don't know why? That guy threatened me to harm Shaw. He makes me feel like a prostitute. So I don't think I should feel attracted to him.My stomach roared, snapping my attention back to it.'Hell, I think I can eat a human right n
Chapter 24'Anyways, why are you still here?" he asked. I gave him a confused look, and he shared that back…….Then when the realization hit me, "OHHHHH you mean 'why' I'm still here?" I repeated. Trying to be oblivious to the answer but failed. I sigh"You want to know why I am not on the Honeymoon with the husband of mine?" I asked.Xavier nodded like a kid, and I felt my stomach roll.Darn, you Alex now, how am I supposed to answer that? So I turned the subject?With a confused look, I asked him, "Xavier did you bring me in last night?" And I got my answer when his face became hard, and his stare became a glare."The question should not be that Cara mia the question should be, 'what were you doing out in the cold at three in the morning?' I was there to get you up because I sometimes live here. when I m around and I want to chill out I go to the pool. But fi ding you there at a time like that ....... it's not good you
CHAPTER 25: -I slammed the door shut, making my way back to my bed. It's the first time in my life that I am feeling alone when there are people around me to hold me in my fall.I believe Xavier, but I don't want to hurt him. I fell face flat on the bed, and sleep enveloped me. I woke up with glass shattering noise and loud moans. Growing I rolled over in my blanket facing the ceiling. Cueesing in all the language I know, I facepalmed myself."Oh, hell no, not again."That son of bastard is here with another girl, hell to do with it. Her moans are like a cow choking for air. They were loud and, to be honest, 'irritating.'Ghhhhhhhh fun* it"Shut up," I screamed, hoping to send them a message, but the sound became louder every second.Fu*k that Bit*ch.I slid out of bed, opened the door, and whimpered; my eyes contacted the light with the bedsheet in my hand like a defense shield. I made my way down but stoppe
I can hear my men's screaming all around me. After a few minutes, the dirt cleared a bit. I ran towards the hole to find Vanessa gone.I turned to the other side, but she just was gone. I blinked my eyes."Alex what's going on?" I heard Paul's voice on my Bluetooth."Search the warehouse. She is gone. She is gone..." I screamed at the top of my lungs.Everything around me was chaos. My men were searching everywhere, but no one found a clue where she went.I saw Roman running toward me at lightning speed."Alex, it's for you" he handed me his cell phone with an unknown number. I picked it up and placed it on speaker."You think you had me in your trap Alexander, but just like always I'm far away from you, you said May Satan deliver you the same pain you deliver us, but honey I forget to mention. The Satan is my best friend." Her laugh killed me on the inside."May god bless you and your so-called wife Alex!!" The call disconnected, and I lost her location.I smashed the phone on the gr
EpilogueAlex POV: -Is it possible to feel death before you die? Is it?When she walked out, I felt the need to run behind her, but I had to stay. Her final words were ringing in my head, but I knew I had to do what I had to do to make her walk away. It wasn't her fault that she fell for me.It was mine. Little did she know I fell for her too. The most brutal discussion that I have to take is the one to let her go.Every day when I hurt her, it stabbed me too.God knows how we came to this place. The year was almost over, and if it weren't for the significant theft I faced, I wouldn't have to let her go. I did it for her. I let the girl I loved walk away with so much hate in her for me because I believe it's easy this way.The moment the front door closed, I waited.I waited till I knew she was far enough, and I hoped Paul had given her the car keys so she could get away fast.She thinks I don't see who Venessa was but my love ...she didn't know that I already know who the snake was.
I used to love this initially, but I don't know why and how much I deny I still love this man if it's all he wanted, so be it. For my child, I will walk away."That my husband means that you trusted the wrong bitch. What do you think your girlfriend is an angle or something! Think Alex!!! She walked away from you with your money before!! Then why would she come back? if she didn't want more?" I asked. A flick of realization of what I was saying crossed his eyes.Roman's phone started ringing, and he walked away, taking his call.Vanessa stepped toward Alex and placed her hand on his shoulder. She starts saying something to him."Hi, I'm here. Please speak louder because I can't hear you," I snapped.She looked up and back at Alex, gave me a Devi grin, and stepped back."It's none of your business!!'. Oh, legit, that pissed me off—none of my business.I stood up, pus
The moment Alex pushed me inside his car in 'All gentlemen way,' I knew the day was just getting started.I tucked myself in. Getting my seat belt on, I was choking with fear inside me. The look in his eye, His demeanor against me, his voice chilling cold, all this indicated something. I was scared.Not for me...Not for him...I was scared for the baby, A life that was inside me. I closed my eyes, not facing him, but I wanted to see his eyes. I feel like I'm seeing him for the last time. Even though I want to escape him, my heart still wants him.The tension inside the car was so thick I could slice it with a knife. I gulped the air. I breathe, trying to calm myself."Alex, where are we going? I asked. My voice didn't tremble, and I was grateful for that. His finger clenched around the staring wheels. They turn pale white, making the lather underneath crunch. He kept his eyes on the road without looking my way, not even a glance.A storm was rising on the horiz
I gave up and moved on to the next choir, and minutes after minutes, the list became small. After cooking, Mandy came to my help, and after two hours of working, our asses off the list of choirs were over.I fell onto the couch with a heavy sigh. I was exhausted, and my feet hurt bad. Mandy bought herself and me a cup of coffee and some cookies making me smile."Oh, why thank you, my lady," I said, pretending to speak in British are sent, but we all know I suck at it.The door to the room in which Roman was opened. He came out looking frustrated and equally aggravated.He left without saying a word to me, making me suspicious of his behavior. I let out a yawn and fell asleep on the couch within a few minutes of having some food in my belly.When I woke up, I heard heavy footsteps coming toward me. I glance up to find Alex standing in. Front of me. His face was red like hell boy or something.I sat up, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of th
"There is a list of things she wants you to do?" Now it was his eyes that were wide like a saucer.I gave him the 'you are kidding me look.'"What did you expect out of a devil spawn? I wasn't that shocked like you are Roman!!!" Did he think that women with a face like duck poop would let me be for one day? Off course not!!"Can I see it?" He asked, extending his hand out, requesting no denying his approach with his eyes. I don't want to give up soon, but what's the point! It's not like he would twist his wand and extend the already ginormous list.I pulled the list out of my pocket.Yeh, know girls *cough* BRA *cough*!!! It was embarrassing as I was in front of a guy who is also my hu
Oh, you got to be kidding me.!!!I kept repeating that in my head when I tried to make the log list of shits. I wanted to kill someone, but I couldn't. If only I could hurt that bitch in her face.I put the last dish down after wiping the water off it. My hands hurt so bad.Mandy was trying to help me as much as she could, but it's two people who only could do as much. I sigh in frustration."We won't be able to complete this on our own, Mandy," I said, sitting down on the floor Indian style."We need help. If only I could get some from my god," I huffed. Mandy pouted her face and then sat down next to me. Her face was red with sweat at the heat. I feel like b with itch whining like a five-year-old when she
"Why do you care so much?" She glared at Me, which I completely ignored. I was too fazed with the beautiful home my so-called husband was paying for. Indeed it was expensive. You can feel it. The place must be costing him a hell lot of money.I glanced back to Venessa, but she was gone. A few minutes later, she was back in the room with a girl behind her ordering her likes the boss."Mandy, she is your responsibility for today teach her what she needs to do throughout the day. I already gave you the list of things I want to be done so don't miss anything or you will be responsible for the consequences." She went on and on and on about her things and all when I zoned her out.My attention was repurchased when I saw two fingers snapping in front of my eyes.My focus was back on her snotty face.With a smirk, I asked, "Yes, madam?"Her face turns red. She knew I wouldn't listen to a word she will say, even if she complained about this to Alex,
She clears her throat, trying to catch Alex's eyes. He looked up just for a moment, and then his phone started ringing. With his lips pressed in line, he walked down the stairs.He pressed his phone to his ears. He was pinning Venessa and me where we were."Speak"-- the person online said something that twisted Alex's face in confusion and anger."I am on my way." Yeah, that's it. That is how long he speaks on the phone. If I measured it, that was no longer than five seconds. I wonder how much is his phone bills."He walked passed me to Venessa and pulled her close. He whispered something in her ears and then gave her a wet and loud kiss.Show off. I rolled my eyes at his actions.My stomach twisted at its sight, not because of pain but how cheap and genuinely disgusting it was.I clear my voice."Sir, I think madam I getting late for her day so maybe we should go!!!'. I emphasized the word 'Madam' and 'sir' on which Venessa smiled, but
