I have no idea how to do that.Thinking about it is making me annoyed and I wish there is an alternative. I know there is not and I just need to do what my mother has requested of me.

Zayden's POVI pack my things, close the laptop, and put the important files inside the drawer before locking it. When I am done, I pick up the briefcase and go out. "Good night, sir", Chloe greets me."Goodnight, Chloe", I say in response before walking to the elevator.

Belle's POV"Who is he?" Tony asks me when he sees Zayden staring daggers at him. I wonder what is wrong with Zayden. He should let me go on a date freely. I am not his child."My grumpy brother", I answer and look away as he parks his car. I am lying too much these days but I don't care, as far as my secret is safe."He looks familiar, I think I have seen him somewhere before", he states.I guess he just saw him on TV. "Yeah", I only said."I remember now", he hits his hand on the wheels softly with a broad smile. "We bumped into each other at the hospital."I was wondering how they met until he told me and my eyes widens. At the hospital? That explains why Zayden was glaring at me at the hospital.I clear my throat. "Did you guys talk?""No, I didn't know he was your brother. I only apologized to him and left.""Alright", I am relieved. We sit in silence for a while before he advises me. "Call your mother and apologize, Belle.""No", I say stubbornly, remembering what happened earli

Aiden's POVI have no idea why I came home early today. Maybe it's because I want to know if Belle will be home today again or not. When I got home and was told that she was out, I became angry. Is this how she behaves anytime I am out? Is this how she goes out and comes back before I am back from work?I am thinking that is what she usually does until she arrives late. Then, I realize she just started with the outing and I am also feeling she is doing it on purpose. If she always goes out so I won't know, she would have been back since. This is 10 pm already. It shows she is doing this on purpose, she is doing it to show me that she is not scared of me.

Zayden's POV"Shit!" I curse when I realize the damage I have done. While trying to become a better person, I am still exhibiting the signs of being a monster, just like my father. I can't believe I retaliated by slapping Belle back because she slapped me. I can't believe I have just raised my hand to beat the woman I call my wife and who gave me my first fruit. I know my mother will not forgive me if she gets to know this. I don't know if Belle can forgive me for this too and I doubt if I will be able to forgive myself.What have I done? Why can't I get a hold of my stupid anger? Why do I have to let it control me?I saw the look of hatred on Belle's face when she looked up at me with her hands on her cheeks.

I followed but before I could enter, she locked the door.I stare at my big hands. I wish there is something I can do to rewind and stop myself f
