He spoke in a husky and sexy voice that caused my body to tremble in anticipation as I checked my surroundings noticing the eyes surrounding us. I just wanted the ground to open and swallow me up from all the shyness I was feeling. But this devil had other plans in his head, way taunting that he looked.
What is it, wife?!! Cat got your tongue?
He said with a smirk as he quickly placed a kiss on my cheek and left. For Christ's sake where does he get his guts from, I cursed within as my cheeks burned with embarrassment.
Wow did you just see that??
Yes, I did, I think we all did the other lecturer replied.
I can't believe she just called him like that, although they seem close to how relaxed he reacted.
Oh, sorry to disappoint you but, they aren't just close, an aged woman responded. She's his wife! She said surprising the others.
His wife?? But... She's still so young, the other woman said. And the man is too good-looking for a little brat like that to marry him, this time there was a part of jealousy printed in her voice.
Mind your words, Miss Amrita, you just got transferred to this university don't lose your job in the process of gossiping. The aged woman concluded as she entered her car and drove out. The others followed suit. She was embarrassed by the woman's words although she already knew it was her fault for minimizing the girl in question.
LATER THAT DAY IN THE LIBRARY...
Hey Jem!
Not again, not this crook again, God please give me strength! I hissed as I lifted my face to meet his deep brown eyes and noticed he wasn't alone his friends were with him, great!! Just great!!
What do you want from me, Landon? I asked already tired.
Nothing, nothing I swear, I just want to apologise he said as one of his friends nudged him by the side and he rephrased his sentence. Sorry... We want to apologize and say thank you.
Thank me ?? I asked raising a brow, what for?
For not getting us expelled, he said with a tight smile and his friends accepted.
Look... I didn't do you guys any favour if you really mean what you're saying then please get to work and do what is required, and please never approach me again, we aren't friends, we never were and we never will be. Now please if you don't mind leave me alone I need to study. They looked tense and after a while, they turned on their heels and left.
Scarlet's Pov
To be honest I couldn't understand myself today, I've become rude and bold all of a sudden, first with Bianca, then Mav and now these guys! What's happening to me, my actions surprised me more than I expected, could this be another stage of my asthma?? God, please spare my life I'm already a half-person please consider me I prayed within as I continued reading.
IN MAV'S OFFICE...
Ur call was urgent what do you need Warlord?
I need you to go to the kingdom, my mother called and she sounded worried and impatient, I need you to go there and sniff out the trouble at hand, once you find it you kill it and get back to me.
Okay, Luke responded. And turned to leave but was stopped mid-way.
One more thing Fire, no words about my wife, whoever talks about her, tell me.
Yes. Sire. He responded and left.
Mav's POV...
Sooner or later Scarlet will find out who I am, but just not yet. There's a strange energy I feel emanating from her but I don't understand why, even her brother however I can tell he's not just a mare human, if he were I would easily know. I'll find out eventually but until then I'll stay focused on my wife. I've grown fond of her in such a short while, I can't place my finger on what I feel for her but I also know it's more than just fondness, cause I feel it in my gut. Oh! My beautiful Scarlett, I hope she doesn't reject me when she finds out the truth about me. I kept thinking as my office line rang.
Hello??
I'm really sorry to disturb you sir but there's a lady here to see you, she says her name is Scarlett and she addressed herself as your wife. The receptionist informed leaving me confused and shocked. But what is she doing here and how the hell did she get here? I asked myself perplexed.
Hello... Sir please are you getting me?
Yes, let her in. I responded collecting myself and disconnected the call.
He's waiting for you in his office, please use the elevator on your left, it's his private lift, and you'll get there as soon as possible.
Okay, thank you. I responded as I followed her direction. I had already been standing for a long time downstairs when Luke surprisingly showed up saving me from the stress with the junior employees who thought I was too young to be the wife of their boss. I don't know if Mave has a shower and a big bed in his office but I did pray for one cause my body needed one. Ask me why I even showed up here in the first place. Cause I got tired and bored after lectures and I'm also tired of him acting like a ghost around me. I wanted to see him when I felt like it, and I also wanted to know him in every way. So yeah it's another mad step I took alone.
Staring at my watch I was surprised she still hadn't reached my office after waiting impatiently I decided to go outside to check and to my surprise, I saw an angry Scarlett staring daggers at my secretary outside the office. This wasn't something I saw every day, she rarely shows anger towards people except for my exes. What's changing, I wondered as I decided to break the silent war between them.
What's happening here? I got no answer from Scarlet, for some reason, she was still pissed, but my secretary panicked.
I'm going to ask for the very last time, What... The... Hell... Is... Happening... Here?!!!
