Chapter 37
She turns back to Roman, who sits patiently on the bed.
He didn't say any word throughout the call, and now when it was over, he stood up and engulfed Regan in a bear hug. She was shocked but didn't fight back. He placed his chin on her head, comforting her.
"You are brave, Regan, and it will help you break him. Not for you but for him," he said, releasing her from his hold. He kissed the crown of her head.
"Even if it hurt me the most," he whispered to himself before leaving the room, taking his phone from her, and going out to find Alex.
Regan, however, was not
Chapter 38Regan pov: -It was past three in the morning when I arrived home. I was more than drunk, stumbling on every step and cussing like a sailor.Alex's lounge room light was on when I opened the front door. I sneak past it making my way to my room.I wanted to sleep, but before I could open the door, I saw a slip of paper stuck under my door. I tried to ignore it, but curiosity got my best, and I opened the door wide.Picking it up, I unfolded it to find a threat, not under it."Stay away from him, or you will lose everything you love," it says, making me sigh. I crip
I gulp my annoying, stupid fear telling myself to hold firm. I meet his eyes again and put some pressure with my hand to push him away."What do you want Alex"? I question. My confidence is coming back with every word and every breath."Well, it's not about what I want, dear wife. It's all about what I need.!" he said, making my eyes wide. The hack eyes narrowed down as I took in his body language. He looks somehow tired, but it's Alex we are talking about here. He is like a sleeping lion. You mess with him, and you won't last a second to see the next moment fly by.He screams danger Right now, and I am ready to fly away if he lets go of me.His eyes never left my face. His hand went down towards my waist toward my hips and close to my butt. A playful smirk passes his face pissing me off."What do you need, Alex?" I asked.I put the heels of my boots on his shoes and press down as hard as I can. That SOB didn't even flinch. His gaze hardens. He
"How did you do it, huh? You gave the contract to him," he asked, but I didn't answer. How could I?? I don't even know this will happen.Alex's hate was so deep in the air that it was becoming hard to breathe."I didn't do it, Alex. I swear," I pleaded to no relief.He didn't even look up to me."Vanessa was right about you. You little whore. She was right. "When he mentions Vanessa's name in all this, I lost it. He believed her over me."I never gave someone that information Alex why can't you believe it" I screamed. In a flash, he was in front of me."Why can't I believe you?? Why can't I think you are because you are filth I picked off the street. You were never worth it, but I gave you every comfort I could. You could have asked for it if you wanted money, but no. You went on and passed that confidential paper to the media.!! He said, his nostril flaring in anger but so were mine."You think I did this for money"? Alex, th
Chapter 63Alex PovAfter I did the worst deed humanly possible, I walked out of the room, keeping my pretend up. It was gnawing at my soul on the inside, But I knew she was watching. There were cameras all over my own house, Planted by none other than Venessa herself.I figured something like this would happen. Finding it out from my secret agent did not come as a big shock. What did shock me was how far I have come in breaking Regan? I know I have not been around, but I know how she spent her nights. A girl who used to hate alcohol coming wasted every night. I regret getting her into my mess. The dress she wore tonight. I did not want to put my hand on her but keep my act up. I have to do the worst. I had to make it look like I was going to destroy her. I have to do what a man should never do to their wives. A thick knot formed in my throat as I walked passed the hall and out of my house.I know I just used her again, but it's like an inevitable force making me go beyond my limits
It's been in a complicated status, and now I just don't know where I am standing.They say there is a thin line between love and hate, and from what I can think of right now.I am standing on it.Like dancing on a thin line which I'm at a loss if I cross, and if I don't, I'm still the one at a loss.I'm watching this funny show on TV which I recently started watching. It's a cartoon show called oggy and the cockroaches .it was almost over, so I picked the remote to switch over to some other show.My brain stops working as I land myself on Ellen d genre show. It had just started, and everyone loved Ellen, so I made myself self-comfortable to watch the most amazing women in the world come out from the background. Looking all fresh and feisty, Ellen started the show with a smile, making me smile along with her.What can I say? Does she have an infectious charm?Ellen: - So today, ladies and ladies, the person
"Ellen- ok, I think I have proven my point of your wife turning into a party starter.!! Maybe I should have never listened to my mom at fifteen, or I would have got a good man like you to hang around now" her joke was what you can call trying to fix the bullet hole with a bandage which, if you ever heard Bad Blood by Taylor Swift's you'll know it won't work.Everyone gave hard to smile Ellen on that and Alex ah boy. He just looked away, trying hard not to catch the camera focus."Alex- Believe me, Ellen, that would not be the case. As I just said you can have my number on your speed dial if you like." He motions his handphone pretending to call Ellen.She shrugs; picking those cue cards, she makes a funny face toward the camera.Let's not waste time here flirting with the Mr handsome businessmen. I'm thinking about how you're so good-looking, Alex. I should ask your mom what she ate through the time when she was pre
His slow advance in my way made me lose my breath. A quiet shallow tear fell down my cheek, for god knows why. I STOPPED CHOPPING when I knew he was just a few inches away from me."You are home?" I muttered in No more the few hazards loud that cat whimper, which was not loud enough for me, but I think he heard.His breathing fanned the back of my neck, making me nervous. My brain started to think of the worsts thing he could do to me. To divert my brain, I started chopping again, and since I was entirely out of focus, the knife cut through my finger making me jump back and colliding with Alex's muscular chest.Pain shot through my hand, and tears started to pour out as nigra fell. I didn't have a chance to see the damage because before I could look at it, a strong arm made me turn, and the bigger ones covered my finger.Alex started cussing like a sailor and pulled me toward the washbasin to pour water over my wound. His
Chapter 67When my senses came back, I knew I was no longer on the bathroom floor.I was on my bed with a cover tucking me like a kid. A cold hand contacted my forehead, and my eyes snapped open.With a blur of the image, my eyes settled in on Enrique, leaning over me. Inspecting me for I don't know what.!Behind him, I tried to find Alex, but he was nowhere around, or I guess he wasn't in the house at all. Enrique's eyes flick toward mine and a moment of confusion settle in my heart."What happened"? I asked. My voice came out more than husky than I like. My mouth feels sour, and my tongue feels like sandpaper used many times.He helps me sit up in my seat and fetches a glass of water from the nearby table. He put the glass back when I had enough, looking at me worriedly."Does he know about it"? He asked, making me more confused than ever. I gave him (what the hell are you talking about!!!! )Look, and he slapped his forehead in aggression."God, Regan, you don't know what I'm sayin
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
