He was looking at her tentatively without parting his lips. His hair was falling in his eyes, his eyelids were blowing and his sleek and thin nose was shining with sweat. He would have looked incredibly handsome if his gaze would not have been so cold and his face would have shown happiness instead of cruel fury.
"What?", she asked, breaking a long silence.
"What do you think you were doing with that boy? Thinking about getting a boyfriend behind my back maybe....or worse having an affair", he shot.
"Excuse me ? He was just congratulating me and telling me that my dress is beautiful ", said Lucy.
"Do you think I am that dumb and I did not see you smiling at him and perhaps....going head over heels for him? I saw you, ok and you're caught ", said Adrian.
"He did not ask me a single question of that sort", she said in a cold tone ," He was just amusing me".
"What about him calling you pretty, eh ? You liked that, I suppose ", said Adrian.
"What is your problem? Can anyone not call me pretty.....I saw you with that girl Hailey, you were having such a good time with her, and I did not say anything ", she said.
"Hailey is just my friend. She was telling me about the boy ", said Adrian, surprised at the accusation.
"I am not shouting at you or anything. And he was much more pleasant and good tempered than you, at least . He has got a good sense of humour and he knows how to talk to ladies. He does not shout at them and accuse them for something which they've never done.", said Lucy.
"Wow, now you're appreciating him in front of me. Was he asking you out for your first date or perhaps for a night?", he said, laughing like a maniac.
This was too much for Lucy. She was already angry because instead of appreciating for her looks, he had been telling her off for talking to a stranger, and now he was calling her a cheater. She slapped him across the cheek and the sound echoed across the room leaving a red handprint on his face. She glowered at him in an extremely dangerous way, and for once, she looked like the mafia queen of the underworld. There was much more contempt and anger on her face than Adrian had ever seen. As he straightened up, she pushed him away from her .
"You don't have the right to call me anything, Mr Adrian Smith. I am your wife just in papers, there is nothing and there will be nothing between us. You cannot claim any right over me. It's not your buisness if I get myself a boyfriend, date anyone or even get remarried. I will live my life as I want to, and you cannot say anything even if I've been with a hundred men. You've got no right over me, did you understand? Never corner of irritate me again, or you are going to regret for ever messing up with me", she said, shrilly.
"Are you fighting with me because of a stranger?", he asked, with as much courage as he could muster because Lucy was looking deadly at that point.
"I am fighting with you because you're accusing me of such a serious thing. You've got no right to accuse me.For your information, I was trying to get away from that person, so that I could talk to you. You can't tell me off for talking to anyone. We discussed that before the wedding. I think everything would have gone right past your muddled head but if this happens again, we're getting a divorce for once and for all", she shrieked.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Both of them changed their expressions and Lucy opened the door to find Athena waiting for her.
"I thought I heard ...", she started.
"Raised voices", completed Achilles, coming in front.
Lucy casted a death glare and Adrian and then turned to go with Athena.
