Chapter 7 .....................
Regan pov:-
The following day I woke up with the sound of Shaw throwing up her gut out in our bathroom. I got up for my long day. Her throwing up her gut sound was making me dizzy.
I knocked on the bathroom door without going in. I am not sure if I can take the sight of puke and be fine in the morning. "Shawna, are you ok? Do you want me to get you some water and maybe some pain relievers?" I asked. I am also in need of some pain relievers myself. Last night was a struggle. I barely slept, and I am facing repercussions.
I heard her grumble out some curses and some more gut-throwing noise; I scrunch up my nose and make my way to our kitchen. Having a Kitchen to our-self is fantastic, you would know if you have ever lived in a dormitory.
I heard Shaw mumbling a list of curses when she appeared in the kitchen. 'Ray, I swear, I'm never touching alcohol again. My head hurts like a bitch’ she said, putting her head in her hands.
I fed her some painkillers for her headache and told her to get ready; we have a plan today.
She gave me a growling sound and asked, "can't we do this tomorrow?" her head maybe was too heavy, or she was too sleepy. She lost grip on her hand, and it banged on our small kitchen table, making me laugh at her face.
Anyways after her hitting and cussing out poor table. I cleared my throat, getting her undivided attention.
'No Shaw we have to do this today, I am going home tomorrow and you are going to Italy with your family 'I said. She pouted
'oh, holy shit, oh shot I mean- I forget about that. I mean oh my god, this is your fault ray. You should have reminded me of earlier Ray'. I gasp
"No, it's not my mistake I am reminding you of it now aren't I?" I narrow my eyes at her.
"Yeh, it is ray she replied."
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes."
"No, it's not my fault, and that's final," I huffed, crossing my arms over my chest sticking out my tongue like a five old, and she did the same with me.
"Uhhhhh god, fine you won" she accepted her defeat, making me smile at my victory.
'Now get ready. I informed Shaw that we have to make someone cry for leaving you. She rushed to her room and got back within record time, and we made our way to our destiny.
After two hours of backbreaking work and begging for people to help and set up my plan for revenge, it was around one in the afternoon. That son of a bitch will be here in five minutes.
'Hide everybody; the trap is ready now. We only have to wait for our victim to come and get his ass kicked," I said, and we all took our position.
I knew the victim had arrived with a chime on the entrance door.
"Let's do this," I said while indicating everybody of the newcomer.
Our victim, Leo Ricardo, came in with a young girl hanging on his arm, giving him her smile. He merely took his first step and slipped. He fell flat on the floor with his lady love along with him.
"Hahahahaha, take that SOB," Shaw said from behind me.
He seemed so shocked. "Who the hell puts water over here' he shouted to the nearby waiter.
'I don't know, Sir, my apologies for the inconvenience, Sir, here let me help you up, Sir, Madam, "The waiter said, trying hard not to laugh but failing miserably. He offered Leo his hand, but Leo aimed his meanest glare making him flinch back.
Leo stood up and fell right on his face, and this happened
again.
And.
Again
and all over again.
By the time it was 7th time, Shaw and I were dying on the floor laughing.
'Ray, this is awesome; I love you, girl," she said, hugging me.
'Oh, it's not over yet. There's more to come,' I told Shaw with a wink. I pulled my remote out and pressed the button on it.
Bang!! Splash!!
'WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS!? GET THIS OFF OF ME. EWW, GET THIS OFF RIGHT NOW. AHHHHH, IT'S BURNING ME. I WANT YOUR BASTARD OF A MANAGER!" Leo was screaming like a crazy piranha bit his ass.
"GET ME YOUR MANAGER RIGHT NOW 'Leo screamed. I suppose I saw him turning red under all the cow poop and pepper powder mix.
(even after taking 10showers, you won't be able to get any relief from the smell of cow poop. SOB, this is how I deal with shit like you.)
'I'm so sorry. Sir, I genuinely apologize for it,' said the manager rushing to join the actors pretending to show some sympathy to the Royal Buch; I think someone got his pants on fire.
Oh yeah, they do its non-other than our SOB Leo Ricardo.
'I don't want your apology; I want the culprit behind this in front of me right now!. Or- Or I will sue you. You won't be able to run this hotel anymore' Leo threatened the manager, his voice stuttering, but still, his words made me growl in anger.
'Well, I guess it's time to show our faces Shaw' I told her, and we got out of our hiding.' getting the attention of all the people as well as the victim.
"There is no need for that, Ricardo; We are here. I think you know us very well if you don't have short-term memory, maybe? 'I said while Shaw backed me up, crossing her arms in front of her. She was aiming bullets at Leo and the girl next to him.
"You were behind all of this?" Leo asked, aiming daggers at us as most of them were targeting Shawna behind me. But I let it slip for right now. But I think Shaw doesn't want to do the same. So she replied.
'Who do you reckon it will be then. You son of a bitch, you broke my heart, and this is what I do to cheaters like YOU' Shaw shouted at him while throwing her shoe at him, hitting him right on his head, making everyone laugh in that process.
"Good aim," I complimented her and reverted my focus to Mr miserable, who was still lying on the floor. I think he is comfortable in all that poop.
Now, it's done. I hope you experience a good life, Leo Ricardo, and say hi to all your fans who are going to enjoy your fall on the internet,' I asked, giving him a wink and pulling out my hidden camera behind the flower pot showing him my middle finger. We made our way toward the manager.
"Thank you so much for your help Sir' I said, extending my hand for a shake. "I appreciate it, and I'm sorry that you have to clean the mess we made" I do feel sorry to leave my mess for other people to clear. But the manager was friendly to get it cleaned up.
"Oh, there is no need to be sorry, it's the least I could do, and btw this guy played with a bunch of the girls' hearts. It's good to see him like this, 'he said. It is making me laugh.
"I think we did a good deed today Ray. I can so add this to my good work list," Shaw said, patting my shoulder. We shook our hands with the manager and made our way to the exit. Shaw kicked Leo from behind, causing him to slip again
"Die bitch" she huffed, raising her chin. She engulfed my hand in her, and we left the mess to it. I was thinking of how we are going to celebrate it.
"No alcohol for you this time," I informed shaw at that she laughed.
"Deal ray. I cross my heart no alcohol for me today," and that's how we end up with tubs and tubs of our favorite ice cream and horror movies.
It is the way we celebrate.
............. . chapter 8............... ............Alex pov: -The dinner at our house went slow and boring, my mom as always was talking about her women's club, forcing the girl April on me, telling me how talented she is, how I should take her out on the dinner, and what no!.On the other end, my dad was sitting on the head seat of the table. Trying his best at controlling his laughter while taking in my miserable state. Throwing me a sorry look once in a while. I was giving him a look that says 'We need to talk, Right Now' him.
Chapter 9 Alex pov: - I was in my office, going over the recent month's Market capitalization date and finalizing my following investment plans for a new branch in Toronto when my best friend, Roman, barged in like he owned the place. "Hey man, what's up? I heard you had been to a dinner with your family last night," he said with that menacing smirk. I so wanted to punch that smirk off his face a lot. But I ended up shrugging it off like dirt on my Armani blazer. His smirk widened at my reaction, taking as much amusement out of this situation. "What's so funny" I murmured—not making eye contact with him. His smirk became a smile
chapter 10 After dropping Maria off, I drove back to my office in the hope of doing some pending work. The past humiliation done by that girl is still playing in my mind, just like a ridiculous movie, which you never want to watch again. Making a left turn, I parked my car in my private parking lot. I took my elevator to my office floor. When I was about to enter my cabin, I had this weird sense that something was wrong or about to go wrong. I dismissed it and took my seat. I started my computer to do something productive work. It was around 4 PM, and I was darn hungry. I wrapped up the files, about to stand up to find something to eat when I heard my secre
Chapter 11......................What the hell just happened?Am I sentenced to marry some random female in a month?No, that can never be possible!! My dad can't do this to me. I am the CEO of this company, and he threatened me to take 'MY' position.My train of thought came to a halt when Roman came in with an amused expression on his face. The amusement turned to a frown in a mere second when he saw my face.I threw my phone at the wall, ending its life as it shattered like a puzzle. I was furious, and I wanted to take this burden off my shoulders. Maybe a drink would calm me the hell down."Whoa man, What crawled up your butt and died," Roman said, raising his hands in surrender. "I heard your dad was here. Is he the reason your panties are in a twist?" I gave him me (don't fuck with me right now, look) to shut him up. He made himself comfy on my leather couch."Tell me, Alex. You know you can share anything with me. I'm t
Chapter 12 ............. Regan pov:- "Regan, come to my cabin this instant" was the words that came out of my boss Liam. When he left, that big rich pants looked a lot more frustrated than before. Without wasting any time, I made my way towards his cabin and knocked twice. "Come in" He calls out in a squeaky tone. I entered his cabin to find him against the window, looking out in the dark of night, his face half-covered in the shadow, making him scary. "Please have a seat," he told me. I took my seat in one of the red leather seats opposite his and folded my hand on my lap. "What is it, Liam? What did he say?" I ask him in a bratty tone, to which he just got a bit more frustrated? I saw his shoulders getting tensed, and I knew that very moment that the news, which he was about to give me is not very pleasing for me. "You are fired, Regan," he said. His word came out like he was in pain. My jaw dropped at
Chapter 13The next day I woke with the sound like someone was banging at my door or more like trying to break it. I stepped out of bed, making my way to my front door, trying to listen if the person who was there. Is it some bank people here to collect money? This early?When I found no sound of some talking on the other end, I opened the door to find a huge guy standing in front of me wearing all black. He looked like he came directly from the man in the black movie."Yes, what do you want, Mr. Men in black," I asked, opening my door a little more. I was not wearing much, just a huge shirt which came to my knees. But I right now don't give a dam on it.I could not say much when that hunky bunky guy stepped up and covered my face with a cloth. I tried to fight and not to breathe, but after a couple of seconds, my lungs started to give up, making it hard not to take a breath, but I did eventually.My body became tired, and my eyes started to drop, and in a
Chapter 14Alex pov:Today is when I'm going to execute my plan of getting my fake wife. I know it's not going to be easy to implement. However, it's now or never chance. It's not like I have another option or my parents left any loophole in their threat for me to manipulate. I want to keep my post as long as I'm alive.My bodyguard called me, telling me that the girl was in my basement office. She was now getting conscious. So I reviewed my plan for the last time after a bit of contemplating it. I made my way to my basement office, signaling my advocate to be there on my call. He will be the one to discuss the claws on my behalf. I make the contract to benefit me in all ways. I spent my whole night making that thing.The elevator stopped, and Roman entered, giving me a wink, but I could see the concern on his face well enough to know that he cared."You ready," he asked, giving me a concerned look. But I know he is more bothered about that girl than me.I saw his
Chapter15"Roman get her," to which he responded faster than ever. He approached her from the back and grabbed her by the shoulder, making her scream all the colorful words in one go."Leave me you fuck**g idiot or I will stab you with a butter knife.""You are so dead the moment I'm free!"Roman put her down in that chair and took hold of her until we were sure she could not hurt herself or us. She is still screaming, irritating me a lot, her voice killing my eardrum."Shut up!"I yelled while I banged my fist on the table, anger dripping in my every Word,"."Listen to me, And listen to me very well Regan Oxford. You are going to do what I'm telling you to do, or you will lose the one and the only thing you hold precious to your heart." I said. Making my voice sounds like a demon roar."Give me the papers Peter," I asked my advocate extending my hand to grab them."Yes, Sir, here they go. I made it the way you want it. On page three, I have
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
