Oakdrew Club
Abi was very angry ever since she stepped into the club. She would never forgive Leo for what he did to her that night. He was treating her like she was a young teenager who just got her period. Who does he think he is? Her father?!
"You can't dance on the pole tonight," Leo's expression turned icy at Riley's words. 'Do they always dance on poles at the club?' He thought and looked at his little wife. He had really underestimated her ever since he laid eyes on her.
"What do you mean? She wants to dance," Jessica yelled at Leo. Leo sent a glare in her direction, and she began to mutter under her breath. Leo heard the word 'jerk' from her mouth, but he ignored her. He closed his eyes and hissed when he saw his three unserious friends from a corner. He saw Dominic raise his glass and wink at him.
"Who invited him?" Leo asked no one and hissed again.
"I invited Ben," Junho smiled and left their side to greet the men by the corner.
"I want to dance," Abi glared at her husband, who stood in her way.
"I can't allow that," Leo replied coldly.
"Why not? It's not stated in the document that I can't dance on a pole," Abi frowned.
"Why would you dance on a pole? Are you a stripper?" Leo snickered.
"It's not only strippers that dance on poles, mister," Jessica replied.
"Are you Abi?" Leo asked Jessica coldly.
"Hey! Mind the way you talk to my friends," Abi scolded Leo in anger.
He didn't allow her to drink any alcohol. He didn't allow her to eat the foods she wanted to eat. He turned into her personal doctor overnight, and she hates that so much. He's so strict, and she's going crazy bit by bit. He's not allowing her to do everything she loves to do when she's in the right mood to do so.
"Move now," Abi glared at him, but he took her hand and began to walk out. Leo looked at her angrily and began to talk as soon as they were alone.
"Do you have any idea that you're pregnant?!"
"And whose fault is that?!" Abi yelled back at him.
Leo was not angry that she was having fun. He was angry that she was comfortable in the little dress she was in. She was feeling confident in the little black dress she was wearing. It was a body hug that was revealing her bare back. Well, he's her husband, and he's the one who should be seeing the beautiful skin she was revealing, not any other man. It irks him to the core, but who is he to say that when she thinks he's the enemy.
She's ignorant of the demons he's battling within him. Else…
"And where do you think you're going?" Leo asked coldly when she turned around.
"I'm going back in. I have to talk to Junho. He has a gift for me," Abi replied.
"Don't you dare take another step," Leo warned her.
"Or what?" Abi tested him with a smirk.
"I swear, Abigail, if you dare take one step, I don't care if you're pregnant or not. I'll do more than massage those boobs of yours tonight,"
Abi gulped her spit and retorted, "I never knew you were such a pervert. Go and massage the boobs of your fiancée. You've done more than that to her, anyway."
"Are you jealous?" Leo smirked.
"Not a bit. Julian has also done that with me too," Abi lied with ease.
"He has done what?" Leo's gaze darkened. He wanted to believe her, but he couldn't bring himself to. His little wife gave her virginity to him, so why can't he believe her? She's daring, and he knew she can do anything. What if she was drunk, and that bastard had taken advantage of her?
Abi ignored him and sighed. "The song has started. I need to show Riley I'm better than her on the pole, else—"
Abi was caught unaware by Leo when he lifted her off the ground and carried her out of the place.
"Let go of me, you jerk!" She kicked the air and cried out.
"Show me your moves when we're home," Leo replied, and she blushed. She frowned immediately and threatened, "I'll shout and let everyone know that you want to rape me."
"Go on. This is a freaking club, anyway," Leo smirked.
Abi was furious with Leo at that point. She decided to wait patiently until they got home. She had been keeping it in since they got to France. He had been getting on her nerves silently. He had annoyed everyone since morning, from Matilda to Jessica to Junho to herself. He's just too much. An arrogant bastard.
Abi didn't talk or glance at him throughout the ride home. She just kept looking at the landscape and frowned. When he even asked her a question, she just nodded to answer.
"Welcome, Miss Abi. Welcome, Master," Butler Lee greeted the two as they entered the living room.
"Miss Ophelia came here, Master, but I didn't open the door, like you instructed me," Butler Lee said.
Abi was surprised but she didn't say anything. Leo nodded to Butler Lee and watched his angry wife walk away.
"Dinner is ready, Master," Butler Lee bowed his head.
"Set the table. I'll be down to eat later," Leo replied and walked quickly to stop his angry wife.
"What do you think you're doing?" Abi asked with fury.
The bastard has ruined her night. Everyone was together and wanted to have fun as one big family. Everyone was there and adjusted their schedule because of her. Jessica was glad to see Junho. It was only Abi and Riley who knew she had a big crush on Junho.
Dominic, Logan, and Benjamin were also at the club to party with them. It was later that Jessica sent Abi a text about the club. She wanted them to celebrate her marriage and give her a surprise. But the bastard ruined it by taking her out of the club without warning.
Abi wanted to see Junho's gift so badly because he was owing her two gifts. He wanted to give her a gift for having many followers on TikTok and a wedding gift too. Jessica and Riley had given her gifts in their ways. Abi is so lucky to have the two as her friends. Roman gave her a puppy. The puppy was with Ava because she wanted to be with it for a week. Abi let her have it because she's her sister and she's proud of her grades lately. Logan and Benjamin also wanted to give her a gift. Dominic had said he would give her his gift privately. Abi was also looking forward to his gift when Leo dragged her out of the club without warning. Such an asshole!
"Come and help me with my clothes. My fingers hurt," Leo lied with ease.
"Me too. My fingers hurt," Abi replied curtly.
"Your fingers hurt?" A hint of a smile danced on his face.
"Yes," Abi bristled.
"Let me see it," Leo added.
"There's no need for that," Abi said quickly and made to go, but Leo pulled her back.
"I'm not going to your room!" She yelled, but she found herself there within seconds.
"Why did you lock the door?" Abi asked. Her heart was already beating faster than usual.
"Why? Are you scared?" Leo asked and bent his head as he leaned in.
"Of course not," Abi retorted and looked away.
"Do you know that a pregnant woman shouldn't be dressed in body hugs?" Leo asked.
"It was just for tonight. You ruined my plans," Abi hissed.
"Your first punishment," Leo began with a frown. "You're grounded."
"What?!" Abi shrieked.
"I can't be grounded. I have a date with Julian tomorrow!"
"You're grounded for a month," Leo added with a smirk.
"Do you know I hate you more than broccoli?" Abi asked.
"You hate broccoli?" Leo asked. He just realized that she hates broccoli. 'Noted,' Leo thought, and walked closer to her.
"Stop," Abi cried.
"What are you doing?" She inquired with fright.
With every step backward, her husband took a step forward. Abi found herself lost in her husband's eyes when her back kissed the wall at last. He was so close that she could smell his strong cologne. His lips were pink, not pink; they had the color of pink and red. Well, it's pretty tempting, but she kept staring at it. His hair fell to his face like he had brushed them to stay that way. His broad chest was fancied by an expensive black round-neck shirt. It was looking light, but Abi knew it was of the best quality. He's a rich bastard, so he can never wear just anything. His neck was decorated by a simple silver chain. She watched his Adam's apple bobble up and down. It was then she realized that he was really handsome. No, he was hot!
Her heart began to beat faster because she was nervous. 'Why are they still looking at each other?! Look away, bastard!' Abi cried in her mind.
When he wouldn't look away, Abi made up her mind to look away. Her phone pinged, and she took it out to send a message immediately.
Leo sat on the bed nonchalantly and said, "Take off my clothes when you're done typing to your stupid boyfriend," Leo added.
Abi made for the door but she closed her eyes and bit her lips when she got there. She wasn't aware that her husband had locked the door and taken the car.
"Looking for this?" Leo jingled his key with a smirk.
Abi reluctantly walked to the bed with a frown.
"Raise your freaking hands," She ordered him.
"Your freaking hands?" Leo curved a corner of his mouth.
"Your hands," Abi rolled her eyes.
Leo finally raised his hand, and Abi took off his shirt. She was surprised to see that he wasn't wearing anything underneath. She found herself staring at his chest and abs. She wasn't a fan of those, but she was really impressed. She loved his body. It was love at first sight. Julian had abs too, but his body wasn't as great as Leo's.
Abi caught Leo looking at her, so she cleared her throat and stretched her hand out.
"What about my belt and trousers?" Leo smirked.
Abi cursed. What she had run away from that day had come to meet her. What should she do? Should she pretend to pass out? But she has to make it look so real, else the bastard won't fall for it.
As she made to touch the belt, she covered her mouth immediately. Leo furrowed his brows and looked at her with worry. She tried to unbuckle his belt again and placed her palms over her mouth once more. She quickly stood up and ran to the bathroom.
She opened the door and pretended to vomit. She pretended to continue vomiting for some minutes and didn't make any noise for some minutes. She heard someone enter the big bathroom and knew it was her husband immediately he came so close to her.
Abi began to imagine his bathroom in her mind. She had rushed into it but hadn't failed to notice the beauty of the room. It was really a master bathroom with the fragrance and design. That was the first time she would enter his bathroom. It was sparkling clean too.
"I could sleep in here," Abi thought with awe.
She could feel her husband's breath on her face, and she cursed because he smelled so good. "Stubborn pig," She heard him mutter, and she frowned immediately.
She quickly realized that she was meant to be pretending to faint, so she made her face natural immediately. She felt him carry her in his arms, and her heart began to beat faster when he laid her on his bed.
His bed was so comfy and wide. Abi liked it, but she shut her eyes very tight when she felt him very close to her… really, really close.
"What the heck is he doing so close to me?" Abi thought.
She began to hear some noise from his drawer. She realized that he was changing his clothes or picking out his nightwear. She didn't hear anything for some minutes and heard water from the bathroom.
She quickly opened her eyes and looked around the room. She jumped up from the bed and began to look for the key. She searched his wardrobe. She opened a small door and opened her mouth in shock when she realized it was his walk-in closet.
"I could sleep in here for the rest of my life," Abi thought, as her eyes went to all his designer clothes.
She became jealous of his status as she looked at his shoes, watches, clothes, and every other accessory she liked. Strangely, she began to imagine him in them all and smiled to herself.
"Are you mad, Abi?" She muttered to herself as she jerked out of her subconsciousness.
"He's the one who ruined your life overnight, so don't you dare fantasize over that bastard."
She continued looking for the key and found it inside the trousers he took off. As she reached out to take the key from his pockets, she heard the glass door of the bathroom get opened.
She quickly jumped on the bed and pretended to be asleep once more. This time, she really tried to think so fast and pray he shouldn't take away the key from the trousers by the time he was ready to sleep.
Her toes were shaky, and she was curled up like a small fluffy ball on his bed. A fluffy duvet was placed over her body after a while.
Her face was directed to the wall. She didn't like the position because she wanted to know what her husband was up to. She had to know that for her escape to be successful that night.
She yawned softly and pretended to change her position while deeply asleep. She opened one of her eyes slowly and saw her husband working on his system. It was his laptop, to be precise.
He had gray headphones on his head. His long, delicate fingers danced on the laptop in a rhythmic manner according to the beat of the music he was listening to.
"I never knew he liked music," Abi thought and sighed.
Abi had to confess that his back profile was so great, even though he was a jerk. His shoulders were broad. His hands began to rub his neck soon, for some reason.
'Maybe he's tired,' Abi hissed and quickly shut her eyes when she had a hunch about him looking back. She pulled the duvet over her head and breathed gently under the cover. She began to hear his footsteps and stopped hearing them after a while.
She slowly removed the duvet and glanced at him again. He was working once more! Her eyes traveled to the stop clock on his table, and she bit her lips. The night wasn't so young, like she had thought.
The time said a few minutes to ten. She was so uncomfortable being in the same room with him. Her heart kept racing and beating faster than usual.
"What's wrong? You want me to join you on the bed?" her husband asked without taking his eyes off the screen.
Abi swallowed and shut her eyes tightly. Leo paused and glanced at his wife. He could see her thick lashes shaking so dangerously. She was trying hard to pretend to be asleep. Such a naughty little wife! She had given him a scare when she rushed to the bathroom earlier, but the tapered trouser gave it away.
He knew she had already seen the key because he knew she would look for it when she got up from her silly sleep. He knew she was pretending to be asleep, so he put the key there for her to find it. He didn't like the fact that she was not comfortable around him.
"Open your eyes, Abi," her husband instructed.
Abi reluctantly opened her eyes and looked at her husband. He was also looking at her... with a frown. What had she done now?
"How did you take your trousers off?" Abi asked with a smirk.
"You shouldn't ask that question. What matters is that it's off my waist. Any girl can take it off," Leo added and brushed his hair away from his face.
Abi got up from the bed in anger and stretched her hand for the key.
"Please give me the key," Abi requested humbly.
Surprisingly, Leo gave her the key without any bickering or fight. Abi was shocked that he would give her the key like that without asking for something in return. As she was inserting the key to open the door, he said:
"You'll be silly to think that key is the only way to keep you here and let you go out."
Abi looked back and hissed. She was very annoyed with him.
"I hope your business fails," she muttered under her breath.
Leo just chuckled when he heard her. She was so interesting to him. She's a lot of things. She's fierce and fiery.
"We won't be able to see each other for three weeks, Abi," Leo stated.
"Why?" Abi blurted. She bit her lips after realizing that she showed her concern. He would think that she cares for him. After what he had done to her!
"I have to prepare for my marriage with Ophelia," Leo replied and looked at his wife carefully.
