" Mine," the words echoed and lingered in my mind, and this one didn't sound like an insult; it sounded genuine, I was a fool to trust his words
" yours, why could I not be yours she is nothing we were made for each other, Kai, " Abby said she sounded like she was having a mental breakdown"
" leave Abby, or I will call security to take you out, " Kai said in a composed voice
" you can't do this to me, Kai, " she said with tears in her eyes, and I felt bad for her. She looked at me and said, "This is not over. " then she stormed out. I was in shock; I didn't notice that Kai was so close to me
" Are you okay? " he asked in a soft tone I have never seen this side of him, and I am pretty sure no one has.
" I am fine "
" so we have not discussed your move-in date "
" moving?"
" yes, you have to move in with me it is in the contract, " he said
"Ok, "I said
" We can discuss the details of your move-in over text. I have a meeting to go to now, so if you will excuse me, " he said, grabbing his jacket
" but I didn't give you my number, "I said
" I am your boss and your future husband I have your number, " and with that, he left.
One week later
I started working as Kai's assistant the day after I fired Abby, and I moved into his penthouse a week later, and we started a façade. The day I moved in, he showed me around the house, and surprisingly, he lived alone, the house itself was beautiful, but it was void of personal. He showed me to my room, and he gave me a black card: "This is for your personal needs "
" we are to live our lives separately in private. You don't interfere in my personal life, and I don't interfere with yours, okay? " he said
" that is fine by me, "I said
" that is good, " he said
" get settled in we are having dinner together, and I have arranged for your dress, so don't bother with the clothes that you brought, " he said
I felt insulted how dare he say I don't have nice clothes they might not be fancy, but they were still nice. I wanted to say something, but he said, "The dinner is at 8:00 pm don't be late, " he said and walked out the door.
I was left alone in my room, so I started arranging my things and getting ready for dinner. I heard the doorbell ring, and I went to look at who it was, I opened the door, and it was a man holding a big box "This is for you, ma," he said, and he handed the big box to me and left, I walked to my room and opened the box to see a beautiful black dress sleeve with a slit on the side and silver heel to go with it, I checked the time 6:30 I was to start getting ready firstly I took a nice hot bath in the bathtub then I started getting ready.
By 7:58, I was ready, and I went down I was coming downstairs, and Kai was already there waiting for me, our eyes met, and he looked so good, his dark gray suit matched my black and silver outfit, and there was just something about the way he fills out a suit the make my heart racing, and he eye was glued to me watching me come down the stairs, his eyes swept over like wave coming on shore
I reached him out, eyes still locked. " you clean up nicely," he said
"So do you, " I said back
"A
Are we leaving now? "I asked
" No, not without this, " he said, pulling out a jewelry box and opening it, inside were diamonds, earrings, and necklaces they were the most beautiful jewelry I have ever seen
" no, I couldn't, " I tried to refuse
" you are my wife now I can't have to look on befitting of the title, " he said
" so being your wife is such an honor, "I said
"Yes, it is"
Without saying anything, he went behind me and put the necklace on. The feeling of his hands on my back sent shivers down my spine, and a lump formed in my throat I felt his lingering hand for a moment more before he pulled away, but his touch was still lingering on my back I started feeling hot.
" Now you are ready, wife," he said
" I told you to stop calling that "
" I know you don't like so I will never stop calling my wife, " he did with a smile this was the first time I had seen him smile. The hell froze over, or am I dreaming he is smiling, my heart melting a bit, just a tiny bit
" come on, we are going to be late, " he said, ushering towards the door and to the garage
"Who needs this much car?" I said in a low voice
"Me, " he replied
" you have freakishly good hearing, you weirdo," I said
" you are married to a weirdo what those that say about you, " he said, winking at me
" you think you are so charming, "I said
" I am, " he said with a smirk
" let just go," I said
" ok wife," he said
We were at dinner with his business associate they were talking about the stock market and things that did interest me I was drinking my soup when someone clicked the silverware and the champagne together I looked up to see an older man
" let us make a toast to the man of the hour, my nephew Kai and his beautiful fiancé Jessica, " the man said, I looked over at Kai I could see the vein on his forehead, and that man was his uncle
" Kai, my boy, you have not properly introduced me to your beautiful fiancé, " he said with a crooked smile
