Chapter 11 - Trying to Get Even

Matthew looked down at the woman in his arms. His face looked even more lugubrious than usual. He wanted to open her skull and look at her brain. Isn't she a law student? Why is she dumb? Lifting her chin using three of his fingers, he spoke slowly with a low voice while keeping his annoyance at bay. "Did our contract say we are going to keep our marriage secret?" Considering her health he couldn't bear to scold or berate her. While they were in a contract marriage, still, she was his lawful wife. He must take care of her as he didn’t want to look for another pawn to marry. It would complicate things even more if another woman was involved. This time he would make sure that before this marriage was over, everything would be in its place as he had planned. "No, but since we got married in secret you want this marriage kept hidden." Her lawyer's instinct kicked up, defending her case. "I have no intention in keeping this marriage secret, my little wife." He has his reasons why he

Chapter 12 - His Heart was Elsewhere

Per instruction by her husband, in the afternoon, Kirsten went for a walk but this time she asked Tony to drive her to the park. With Tony here, she wouldn’t have to worry when it rained. Kirsten had been walking in the park for about fifteen minutes when her phone buzzed and she took out her phone. "Where are you?" Kirsten held her chest when she heard Matthew's voice as her heart began to beat more rapidly. "In the park, walking," she replied. A few minutes of interlude went by before Matthew spoke again. "Open your camera."'Is he having doubts about me?’ She made a face as this thought came across her mind. At the time she opened her camera, Kirsten had no idea that her face was revealed on the big screen in the conference hall. Her blue eyes made a beautiful contrast with her wavy auburn hair and her cheeks a shade of pink complimented by her luscious red lips. Matthew laid his back on his swivel chair, staring at the woman on the screen. "Did you bring an umbrella with

Chapter 13 - What Did She Do to Him?

Norman's wrinkles got even deeper as he narrowed his eyes and frowned. This grandson of his was getting more and more out of hand. He could no longer control him. "Bring her home tonight. I want to meet my granddaughter-in - law." Norman couldn't do anything but to compromise at this time. When Matthew was still working at the family's company, Matthew had to bend to his will. With force he managed to persuade Matthew to get engaged with Monalisa but after five years Monalisa broke free from the engagement. Monalisa went to Hollywood when the opportunity of making a name in the film industry was presented to her. She had no qualm when she called off her engagement with Matthew. Monalisa was a whimsical woman and Matthew accommodating her capricious attitude was a testament of his great love for her. He thought that Matthew learned to love Monalisa as he pampered and spoiled Monalisa for the five years they have been together. However, it's been three months since the engagement wa

Chapter 14 - The Name Spelled Luxury

Kirsten was consumed by her own thoughts and did not pay attention to gasps and whispering in the lobby. She entered the elevator and pressed the button to where the law firm was. Within a minute the elevator halted with a chime and opened. Kirsten ambled towards her designated table. She had been interning in this law firm for three summers, this was the only time she will be interning here while having classes at law school. It was a paid internship as she and Anthony Dumont, the firm's boss, were friends. Anthony was also her teacher at the law school. Comparing her salary from the firm and Mr. Rossi's Restaurant, the law firm, offered her a better salary but it was too far from the university. Hence, she could only come here for an internship every summer. A litigation attorney asked her to research relevant laws and legal precedents that apply to their client’s case. She was also told to review all the evidence related to the case which included witness statements, medical

Chapter 15 - Couldn't Believe Her Eyes

“What’s the matter here? Why are you all surrounding Kirsten’s desk?” Anthony’s low voice filled the air and all at once they turned their heads to look at Anthony. Standing tall a meter away from them, was a handsome man, sending some of the single ladies a giddy feeling while looking at him. “Er, Mr. Dumont, we are asking Kirsten who –” Kirsten interjected and said, “It’s lunch time, you better go. We have only one hour lunch break.” Everybody knew that Anthony didn’t want tardiness so they dispersed and rushed outside to grab some lunch. Having been able to dodge the question about Matthew, she sighed in relief at the thought that she didn’t have to make another lie. At one glance, Anthony recognized the paperbag that was seated on top of Kirsten's desk. He understood why the staff surrounded her. "You have a very rich admirer this time," Anthony teased her. It wasn't new for Anthony to see Kirsten receive gifts and lunches from admirers. Kirsten was the campus belle.

Chapter 16 - Trash

“Do you have a problem with it?” Matthew answered coldly and put his arm around Kirsten’s shoulders in a protective manner. Donna smiled and then pulled Kirsten to give her a bear hug. “I am happy that you are the woman my brother chose to be his wife.” “How are you doing, Donna?” Kirsten said after she recovered from her shock. Kirsten at some point wanted to ask Matthew if he knew Donna as they have the same last name but gave it up because they might not be related as there were many who have that last name. Matthew looked at Donna and Kirsten. “Do you know each other?” “She’s the tutor I was setting up as your blind date but you refused,” Donna chuckled. “You are really destined for each other.” Donna had been setting him up for a blind date with her tutor in law school. Whenever she got a chance to be with his brother, she always told him about Kirsten as the most beautiful woman in the campus. And she was not only beautiful but she had a brain and a body too. Infuriated th

Chapter 17 - Insinuation

A frown marred her stunning visage following the mention of Matthew’s ex - fiancee. Almost immediately, realization hit her so hard. Matthew had successfully crawled in and penetrated her heart. She had fallen to his caring side. Outside, he looked like a cold and unfeeling man. But he was a warm and good man. Countless of times that she saw how caring he was to her. Gemma always teased her that Matthew treated her like the queen of his heart. Her impenetrable heart that couldn’t be conquered by men’s besieging love, now invaded and conquered by her dear husband. Too confident that none would be able to invade her heart, she didn’t fortify her guard. And now, he resides in the castle of her heart. What if it was only her who fell in love? What would she do if her love story was another story of one sided love? Will she be able to take the pain and live with it? Seeing Kirsten was lost for words, Donna glared at Callum and said, seething, “Can you not talk about that woman here?

Chapter 18 - His Secretary

Evelyn’s words once again ignited Matthew’s anger that had been successfully put out by Kirsten. “You are the older person, it’s you who should be the bigger person here. You did nothing good at her since she arrived but my wife had been magnanimous to you. Aren’t you ashamed, mom?” Matthew couldn’t stand his mother’s attitude any longer. She acted as if they were above everyone else. This family was lofty. They said that they were one of the wealthiest families in the nation, so what? Did that give them the right to look down on people? All of them were mere humans and will soon wither like grass. “You are taking this wench’s side, ha? What is in her that bewitched you?” Evelyn's rage was spilling over and had forgotten how to behave with grace and dignity. Matthew was aware that Kirsten flinched at the word ‘wench’ and hugged Kirsten to console her. Aware that Kirsten flinched at being called Wench by his mom, Matthew, to console her, surrounded her with his arms. “Enough

Chapter 19 - Failed Plan

"Grandpa, we will be heading home." Sounding natural and no pretense in her, Norman could not suppress the twitching of his lips. The gush of cold autumn breeze greeted them as they came out, making Kirsten's teeth chatter and body tremble. Reflexively she hugged her body to cope up with the biting cold. Suddenly, she felt something draped over her shoulders. And warmth surrounded her chasing away the coldness. Lifting up her head, smiling, she said in a soft voice, "Thanks." Matthew as taciturn ever, uttered no word and slithered his arm around her torso, leading her to the waiting vehicle. Complete silence pervaded the car while it traversed the road as both Kirsten and Matthew were absorbed in their own thoughts. "We've arrived sir," Tony's voice tore through the silence in the car. Kirsten blinked her eyes as if she was woken up from sleep. ‘How long did I zone out?’ Kirsten asked. Matthew stepped out of the car and then he held out his hand for Kirsten as she pre

Chapter 20 - Vanessa was the Only woman

Unmasked anger gleamed in Matthew’s eyes as he saw Kirsten holding her hair to expose her fair and slender neck to the man behind her, fastening the necklace clasp. “Kirsten, this man is looking for you,” Knox said again, smiling. Kirsten lost her voice and was rendered speechless, seeing Matthew. Her heart was on her mouth at the moment. Hearing Knox's voice, Gillian came out of the kitchen and saw Matthew. She assumed that the man wearing a bespoke suit just like James was her daughter’s boss. “Kirsten, why don’t you let your boss take a seat,” Gillian said. “Mr Roosevelt, have a seat,” Kirsten said so that Matthew would not spill the bean. James knew his place so he moved away and took the empty seat while Matthew sat beside Kirsten with just two inches of space between them. Noticing the closeness, Gillian was confused and a lot of questions raced in her mind. She went to the kitchen thinking and then reemerged into the living room. “Mr Roosevelt, do you want to join
