Chapter 20 Madeline dropped me off to my room and I saw my bags already inside the room next to the bed . I walked windows that were stretching from floor to the ceiling and my gaze directly fell on Marcus's room . ver to the He was sitting on the bed , tapping on his phone . His coat lying on the bed next to him and his hair was disheveled giving off at mouth dropping sight . His tie was loose and at the moment I wished I could run my hands on his toned body . I watched him for a while and something made him notice it . He looked my way and I felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment . He quickly got out of the bed and closed his curtains and so did 1 . Gosh why was I staring at him ? Real question , Why was I checking him out ? || Conclusion , I was finally going mad . I woke up the next day and went downstairs to eat breakfast . I was really impressed by Madeline's cooking skills and it was enough to give me a bright smile the entire day . And she told me Marcus left for work early in the morning which was even better . After breakfast I left to see one of my stores before I drove to my office . It was morning but still filled with people . [ ] The store was expensive , clothes are only made for snobby bitchy people who likes to spend a lot . Targeting the rich will make you richer . That's something I learned in the time being . I was questioning my staff about the sales when I saw Marcus walk in with a girl . She was beautiful and looked young . She dragged Marcus to the dress section and told him something . To my horror Marcus smiled at her . Marcus ? Smiling ? Is he attracted to younger people ? Wait ! Is he cheating on me ? I felt my body boll with anger , Even though this marriage was fake I didn't like it when he disrespects it . I'm not gonna wait and watch while he cheats . ] I took long steps to where the girl was . ] " Can I help you ? " I asked politely and she glanced at me but her eyes tell she didn't recognize me " Yes , I'm going on a date with him and I need a dress she pointed at Marcus and giggled . ] ] " Oh amazing . Would you like me to show you a section with more beautiful dresses ? " I went to another section after giving Marcus a glare . He better have a good explanation . The girl selected a dress and Marcus paid for it , leaving without even glancing at me . [ ] I was beyond mad now . He had no right to cheat since both him and I were forced into this . At least he should respect it since I wasn't the only one gaining something from this . I went back home in the evening hoping to see Marcus but he still hadn't come back . I scoffed . He was probably enjoying his Cupra 20 date with an underage girl kitchen when I heard Marcus walk in . [ ] I was sitting on a stool in the k He looked at me for a second and then started climbing up the steps . " That's it ? " I asked annoyed . ] ] He stopped mid way . ] " What ? " " You're not gonna give me an explanation ? " " Why would I ? I'm not bound to you " He left me speechless . Bound ? Was he kidding ? He surely forgot that there was a marriage certificate in between . [ ] I came here to make his life a living hell but it was my life that became hell . I stomped my feet up the stairs and into his room . I opened his door with a loud bang . He looked at me from his bed , a scowl written on his face . " Listen you mister " I pointed my finger at him . " Don't act like you are the only one forced into this marriage . I hate this with every single part of me . But I respect whatever we have now and I'm not gonna let you disrespect me or this marriage . I don't want you to tarnish my reputation because you can't control yourself . And I'm so not gonna be the one to get cheated on . You'll be dead the next time you think of doing it . " I shut the door and hopped downstairs to drink some water . " Miss are you " Miss are you okay ? " Madeline asked in concern . [ ] " You mean okay as in okay my husband is cheating on me " ] At my words she gasped loudly and closed her mouth with her hand in utter shock . ] " Miss that can't be true . Sir never does that . He doesn't even care abo about love " " Well surely he does . I caught him today . " ] " You caught him with a woman ?" ] I nodded while sipping the water . " Miss may I know what the woman i looked like ? " " Mm well she seems like she's 19 or in her early twenties . She had dark hair and eyes similar to Marcus . They were green " Madeline shook her head in disappointment . ] " Miss it's not his girlfriend " ] " Then who is it ? She said that she needs to buy a dress for a date " I complained running my hands up in the air . ] " And he shamelessly brought his booty call to my store " ] " Miss- " " I'm disappointed " " Miss- " I interrupted her again .
