All Chapters of Marrying My Father's Enemy: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

CHAPTER 31A worried Antonia woke up that morning to find herself in bed, she could still see the dent in the pillow beside her, where he was laid, and she could still feel the warmth of the covers rumpled confirming the previous night hadn’t been a dream.He had made love to her although it didn't look like he was so into it, for countless times he had seemed to be distracted.She stared around at the apartment of one costly home Instead with interest. She knew he had recently just bought it off distress and was looking to get it renovated. The decor was natural wood with vintage furnishings and costly artwork that made the building pleasantly welcoming. Last night had merely been his first night here as well that was if he was telling the truth, of recent she was starting to suspect he lied to her. She thinks he's definitely been there a few times to have some ‘alone time' Despite telling herself that all of this was just at the back of her mind she couldn't ignore that persisten

CHAPTER 33Heavy palpitations and anxiety, those were the two perfect things to explain the state of her mind at that moment. She was confused for a minute wondering if it was right that she walked in with the box.At long last she did, she looked old again and could see a black car driving away, raising more suspicion and making her more skeptical. One name came to her mind immediately when she saw the content of the box—Christian.It was a gift for the boys, To confirm what suspicion she tried calling Riley, the only other person that had been outside her home as well.“Hello." She muttered Immediately she picked it up.“Did you notice anything unusual When you walked out of my apartment? “ she asked.“What do you mean?” She sounded a bit ignorant about what Laura was trying to say.“I got a package and I am just wondering if you saw anything that could raise suspicion." "Oh, I remember seeing a black car.” Her brow furrowed, as she spoke about the car to think it fitted the exact

CHAPTER 35Laura dropped the phone in her hands and questioned her decision badly for texting him and not Rian.She walked back to the box and checked the content again, this time being more dramatic as she opened the kids. “Hideous dolls!" She grimaced to herself. Whosoever it was most definitely had sinister plans to create a controversial situation or why else would they do something crazy as this?While all of these were traveling through her mind, Rian's call came through almost at the same moment.She picked it up cautiously hiding the fact she was rather aggrieved.“Been trying to reach you, how are you doing?" It felt almost useless having to lie to him but had to do it as she didn't want him getting all worried about a box that could just be a prank from someone trying to pull a fast one.“Laura." He called her when he noticed the long bit of silence.“I am fine, just a bit tired, you?"Rian could sense the restlessness in her voice but if there was anything he knew about

CHAPTER 37Christian paced the sidewalk, the anger radiated off him with each step he took, with each stomp he made on the damp grass. How could they be so callous? As if seeing Antonia so hurt wasn’t enough, Laura had to add salt to injury by humiliating him, like he was a mere pest she couldn’t wait to be rid of, after calling him to come, and worse, Rian had been there to witness it all! He ran a hand through his already messy hair. What made it all worse was he had no idea how he could make Antonia feel better, he wanted more than anything to take her pain away, but how? He punched the wall with all his might as the memory invaded his mind yet again. The wall crumbled in the shape of his fist, the dusty bits from the damage remained on his fist. His fist throbbed painfully but it didn’t matter, none of it mattered. Not when Antonia was probably at home blaming herself for something she couldn’t change.He groaned and shoved a hand through his hair, the sting of hair rubbing ag

CHAPTER 39Waking up to a bright day, he tossed and turned right there on the bed noticing her absence for the second time that morning, while one part of his mind was worried about where she was at that moment, another part was glad at the fact that she was herself again and doing things normally. Earlier, he had walked into a room that was void of her though the heavy scent for her cologne made glaring the fact she had left not too long ago. He had lain in his bed for what seem likean hour listening to the clock in the distance as he let in the cold air through his skin from the AC until a numbness spread through him.Sitting there at the edge of the bed with heavy thoughts, he thought it was best he did something to rid himself of the feeling that was going through his mind at that moment.There was no Antonia, no calls from Laura so it only made sense he did something to exploit that but of quite that was filling up the moment At first he didn't know what to do but as the min
