Chapter 11: I think he likes you

Chapter 11Music blasted out the speakers, the sound of glasses and yellings filling the air. Waitresses dressed skimpily walked around with glowing trays of drinks, and the strippers danced with their poles, almost becoming one with it. The neon lights made the room dim, but it didn't stop the adrenaline rushing through people's veins.Tammie pushed some vodka down her throat and groaned, “That hits the spot.” she placed the glass down and poured another, “The bar seems lively today.” she commented, raising her head to stare at Mia, who was replying to a text on her phone, “You don't expect everyone to be a workaholic like you.”Tammie laughed, “Am I the workaholic here? You're replying to emails from work.” she pointed out, taking another sip of her vodka. Mia was Tammie's childhood friend, best friends now. They became closer than sisters, not like Tammie had any. Mia crossed her legs, her thighs coming in full view, “indeed.” she said plainly, bringing a glass of whiskey to her li

Chapter 12: A Perfect Date

Chapter 12: A Perfect Date.Ethan trembled, his eyes bulging, suddenly unable to blink. The sight of Collins Blackwood sucked his breath away, making his pulse race. Collins is a formidable figure, highly respected in the whole city. Crossing his path is like making a death wish, and it seems like Ethan just made his wish by talking to Collins' wife. The sound of his heartbeat thrashed in his ears as a shiver ran down his spine. He pushed his chair back, “I…I need to go.” he stuttered, avoiding Collins' gaze.His frightened reaction brought a smirk on Collins's's lips. He licked his lips and rubbed his palm, “You really need to go, man. There's no telling what I could do if you remain here.” he chuckled, his eyes fixed on Ethan. Ethan swallowed, his chest tightening due to the immense pressure he felt from standing in Collins' presence, “I'll…I'll…” he paused, taking a few steps backward, “Okay.”Mia's jaw dropped, “OMG!” she beamed, watching Collins earnestly. She was only one opport

Chapter 13: A dutiful husband

Chapter 13“Collins, how…how did you find out.” Tammie stuttered as tears gathered in her eyes. Her voice was shaky, a slight pang of pain in her chest, “I've not celebrated my birthday in years.” she whispered, clenching her hands into fists. Ever since the accident, her mother's death, she found no other reason to be happy. It felt unfair to celebrate when her mother wasn't there. She took a few steps backward, staring at the empty cinema, “I…I can't.”Collins took a few steps towards her, “I know.” he said softly, holding her hands in his. He wasn't a rash man who would just make decisions without considering them. He did his research on Tammie the last time she returned home in a dejected mood. He found out about the accident, her fear of blood, and how she hated herself because of her mother's death. However, it was all in the past. He wasn't going to allow her to continue blaming herself forever. “Tammie, you have to let it go.”Tammie shook her head, tears gathering in her eyes

Chapter 14: Incapable of loving

Chapter 14Collins flipped through the pages of a file, his legs crossed as he drank some water. He tapped his finger on the table, thinking about a business deal, and at the same time, Jamie strode in, his shoes striking the tiles softly. Collins raised his head, meeting Jamie's gaze, “What are you doing here?” he asked, leaning backward, “I'm in my office, not a club room. Seal up your bottoms.” he said distastefully.Jamie grinned and tilted his head, “I don't want to.” He shrugged, pulling out a chair to sit. He crossed his legs and leaned forward, “Collins, what the hell happened?” he asked softly, staring at Collins' dark eye bags. He looked like he hadn't slept for days, his skin looked malnourished, his skin pale. Jamie clenched his fists, “I knew marriage was trouble, but I never thought something like this would happen to you.”Jamie's words made Collins chuckle, “Dude, do you think my wife did this to me?” he closed the file and picked another, “do you think she would do th

Chapter 15: Still night for bad deeds.

In the dead of the night, a well built figure walked around with a mask on his face, a dagger carefully sitting on his belt. He pulled his hoodie over his face and sneaked his way in, unnoticed by anyone. He stared at the large building before him and smirked. His boss had asked him to sound a warning to Collins and he had no other idea than torturing Tammie, his woman.The last time he visited, he realized that the couples slept in separate rooms which was quite odd. However, It was a bonus for him. He pushed Tammie's room open, the soft click piercing through the dead silence. He pulled out his dagger and walked slowly, becoming one with the darkness. He narrowed his eyes when he saw nothing on the bed, and the next thing he felt was a loud bang on his head.Tammie stared at the still figure on the ground, shaking all over. She dropped the vase to the ground and staggered backwards, running straight to the door. The figure moved slightly, letting out a groan, “You bitch, I might as

Chapter 16: Perhaps it was all a lie

Chapter 16Tammie stared at her plate and pushed it away, not in the mood to have some food. The incident last night left her heart hanging, fear seeping into her veins now and then. Since last night, Collins hadn't checked on her. After he met with his men, he left for work the next morning.Tammie had imagined that he felt something, but it seemed like a lie. He was back to his cold, grumpy self. She couldn't go to work because she had to rest, but she wasn't having enough rest at home. Collins invaded her mind, and her thoughts, and everything that occurred last night was deeply buried in her heart, unmoving.She tried to sleep during noon, but the incident kept replaying in her mind—the man's creepy touch, his groans, and the sight of his blood splattered on the ground. It was all real like it was happening for the hundredth time.Tammie let out a breath, running her hands through her hair, frustrated. Staying in this ccrampedspace was doing aa lotto her, messing with her brains.

Chapter 17: Change is a gradual process.

Chapter 17In a slightly dimmed room, a man could be seen sitting on a couch, his raven dark hair reaching his neck. He weaved his hands through it and let out a breath, followed by a soft, creepy chuckle.If the word “beautiful” was a person, then he could take all the credit. His Hazel eyes were enough to charm anybody’s heart, and his devilishly beautiful face could bring the world to their feet.Sandros carefully tapped his hands on a stool, staring at the glass of wine sitting perfectly on it. He flipped his attention to his subordinate, his gaze enough to pierce through the young man's soul, “What did you find out? Where's Andrew?”His subordinate inhaled a shaky breath, a chill creeping up his spine, “Yes, Master Sandros.” he said calmly, his voice different from his body reaction. His eyes darted around before landing on Sandros, “Collins has him.”Sandros raised a brow and Collins felt an unreasonable amount of pressure on his chest. It was like a huge weight was placed on hi

Chapter 18: I'm married.

Chapter 18Days passed by in a blur, but Tammie and Collins' relationship remained sour. During the hours of the day, Tammie would think about the man she married before this new Collins—the man who doesn't care about her one bit, the one who's always focused on his work, and the one who doesn't care about his family. Tammie had prayed, hoped she was only having a nightmare, but to her greatest dismay, Collins had indeed changed. Perhaps he never cared in the first place.Tammie's assistant strode into the office, her heels striking the tiles softly, “For you, ma'am.” she placed a cup of tea on Tammie's desk, “To calm your nerves before lunch. You don't look too good.” she voiced, her eyes filled with warmth, “No. For the past few days, you've been quiet and reserved, Boss. Is everything okay?”Tammie blinked back her tears and bit her lips, “Oh, god” she gasped, placing her finger in her eye, “I can't believe some dust managed to get into my eyes.” She whispered, raising her head to

Chapter 19: Broken woman

Chapter 19Bradley threw his head back as a loud laughter escaped his lips. He wrapped his arms around his stomach and laughed harder, but when he stared at Tammie, he realized she wasn't smiling. He lowered his gaze, and that was when he saw the diamond ring sitting beautifully on her fingers. His heart clenched, each breath extremely painful, “Tammie.” he breathed, pain in his eyes, “How…how..how, no, when did you get married?”Tammie held out her fork and started eating, “A few weeks ago.” she smiled, not meeting his eyes. She had liked Bradley then, but she couldn't forgive herself after her mother's death. She couldn't date, or do anything cheerful that would make her happy, but after what Collins said, she realized it wasn't her fault. She wasn't the cause of her mother's death.Her grip on her fork tightened. She remembered Collinsagain during lunch. The new memories they've made managed to assault her brain over and over again.Bradley nodded, putting some lettuce in his mout

Chapter 20: Treat her as trash.

Chapter 20“Tammie,” Collins whispered, taking slow strides toward her. Her brows were deeply furrowed, her pale skin glistening under the water. Collins' hands trembled as a memory flashed in his mind. Luther's blood was splattered around the house, his eyes wide open as his blood formed a pool beneath him. Collins' heart raced, the sound of his heartbeat thrashing in his ears, “Tammie!” he called again, confused, a blank expression on his face.He ignored the fact that she was naked and carried her out of the bathtub, dashing towards her bed. He gritted his teeth when he realized that she had a cold bath, and now, her skin was burning up. Collins wrapped her up with her duvet and dashed outside, speeding down the stairs, “Alfred.” he yelled, running a jerky hand through his hair, “Alfred, where the hell are you?!”Alfred, sensing the urgency in his master's voice, dropped the rag and scurried towards the living room. Out of breath, he placed his hands on his knees and sighed, “Mr Bl
