Bury him alive

"What?!"

Due to surprise, a shout escaped between Zane's lips. His eyes widened at the same time.

"My! I didn't know you had a wife! When did you two get married even?" Expressing the curiosity, Isabella Jones questioned.

Completely ignoring her husband who was in pool of disbelief.

"A month ago, I would say"

Ezra's answer stunned the three. Especially, Zane. When did his ex girlfriend get to know his uncle?!

Why the fuck did she choose to marry his uncle out of everyone?!

List of questions spun in the head of the man. Finding it as one of the nightmares to encounter.

'What the heck? It is been a week only if I am certain' Vera quietly stated. Noticing the lie of the man.

But she did not act dumbfounded.

Instead, she chose to play along with him. "I asked him to conceal our marriage from others for a while since it could capture attention too much more than your wedding"

Wearing a tiny smile, Vera broke into the conversation.

Backing the man as she could. "You are so mean, uncle!! A hint would have satisfied me at least. Now, we got to know only after a month!"

Through an annoyed tone, Isabella Jones pouted. Complaining to the man as if she was the real niece.

Her response clearly revealed how she acknowledged Ezra Kingston's presence only here. The way she ignored Vera screamed it out loud.

"How could I ruin my wife's wish?"

However, Ezra responded. Holding the woman's waist firmly still.

"Awwn, look at your dear uncle being in love at last, baby" With a grin, Isabella faced her husband.

"Where are the rings then? Where is the affirmation of your marriage?"

But straight up questions from Zane annoyed Vera while Ezra fell into silence. "Bae! That's so rude of you!"

With her brows wrinkled, Isabella lectured. Hitting the arm of Zane.

"Why do we have to prove, my dear nephew, Zane Kingston? Is it a need to verify with certification?"

In a mocking tone, Vera taunted.

Wearing a slight smirk, only to exasperate the man more.

The atmosphere around them lifted with hint of frustration which made Isabella Jones felt ill at ease.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ezra observed the situation quietly.

Thousands of thoughts ran inside his head. "You two don't even have rings on. What if you are just someone from the street that uncle picked to cover up something?"

Harsh words escaped between Zane's lips. Hitting the woman's heart with bullet of cruelty.

He did not hesitate even.

Addressing her as some filth from the side of road. "Zane Kingston! That's offensive! How could you speak in that manner to aunty?!"

In hurry, Isabella Jones raised her tone at her husband.

"Behave yourself, Zane Kingston. She is not someone you can mess around with. She Is My Wife"

Each by each, Ezra pressed the words to show off authority upon his nephew. "Then prove it! How could everyone believe when there is no attestation of your marriage?"

Unceasingly, Zane continued to complain. Asking for affirmation.

"Consider yourself lucky because I got some business to attend now"

Through gritted teeth, Ezra hissed. Ready to walk away from the place while holding the woman's waist.

However, Isabella's hand rose. Only to seize Ezra's wrist. Ceasing him from disappearing out of sight.

It stunned Vera.

What the heck was wrong with this woman? The only query running on her mind at the moment.

"Wait, uncle! I am so sorry on my husband's behalf! Please show up at the dinner party tonight! Please!"

Isabella begged. Looking up into the eyes of the man with pleading gaze.

Now, this annoyed Vera.

This actress truly got some incredible acting skills for sure.

She appeared as if she was about to cry if the man did not show up tonight at dinner party.

"You have three seconds" A cold gaze displayed across Ezra's face.

Staring down into the eyes of the bride. The warning had came up. Frightening Isabella Jones wholly.

In hurry, she took her hand back from grasping the man's wrist.

It was the moment Zane Kingston wrapped his arm around his wife's shoulder with a tightened frown.

"Aren't you going to leave, uncle?"

A scoff escaped between his lips. Irritating Vera while Ezra remained tranquil. Without any words, he left.

Holding his wife on the other side as well. "Get inside"

An order from the man expressed rage he was swallowing deep down.

Even though, Vera disliked to be bosses around, Ezra at the moment seemed frustratingly perilous.

He could do such an unexpected harm if she acted like a bitch right now. So she got no other options.

But to obey his words.

Vera promptly stepped into the car, followed by the man behind.

They two sat beside each other and the driver started the car engine.

"Head to the 'Lutza'"

A command chased after from Ezra, earning a nod back from the driver.

And the atmosphere in the car sank. Putting the woman ill at ease. "Um, don't you have an urgent forum to attend?" She queried at last.

Failing to restrain her curious self.

"I do. And I am directing to there" Thankfully, the man responded.

Though his tone sounded upset still. "Wait, I should get out then!"

Realization hit the woman quickly. Causing her to panic in awareness. "No, you cannot leave from here yet"

But the man stopped her.

Perplexing her entirely. What did this man mean with not yet?

"Is there any job I am supposed to carry out at your meeting?" With brows wrinkled, Vera asked again.

She revealed the confusion through the words and expression.

"It is not a job or something. But you have to be there for certain reason"

Ezra answered the question. "Oh" A sound uttered from lips of the woman. She could wait and find out what the reason was only,

due to the fact that this man did not divulge. "About my nephew..."

As the silence prepared to wander around them, Ezra voiced.

Capturing the woman's attention.

She turned to face him but he did not look at her back. Instead, his eyes focused to the front.

"He is always like that. Don't hold grudge against him" Ezra disclosed.

Hushing down the woman. Look at this uncle shielding his nephew.

Meanwhile his nephew gave no fuck about him and even push all the blame on him always.

How pathetic.

"I don't mind at all" to crush possible suspicion, Vera shrugged.

Wearing a tiny beam to veil the truth but the next words from the man dragged that smile off her face.

"You had a connection with him before, right?" This time, Ezra turned to peer back at the woman.

Observing her smile vanishing.

It was the moment, the woman fell into silence of disbelief. The fuck?!

This man noticed it?! Fuck fuck! This was too early to get caught. She could not crush this opportunity.

"What? Do you think I would interact with such a jerk?" Although, shock swallowed her, Vera managed to replace surprise with sarcasm.

Rolling her eyes as the man quieted down. "Then why was he offended?"

Another question hit the woman. Openly, Ezra disclosed his doubt upon the woman in front of him.

"Well, he must hate to see you getting a woman or he dislikes me for being your wife and afraid I might steal your love which he craves"

Simpler yet stupid excuses came up.

The woman did not let the man corner her. She dodged pretty quick.

The words of Vera dragged Ezra into pool of thoughts. Something was off. That's what he could sense at the moment.

"Master, you have arrived"

But a report interrupted. Fanning the intense atmosphere away from the couple. In awareness, Vera turned her head to the side.

Looking out of the window to cut the eye contact off. And Ezra frowned.

"Come after me. I have something to give" At last, he shrugged the matter off.

Opening the car door, the man ordered to the woman. "Gosh, does he know to boss around only?"

Upon the command, Vera's upper lip rose in vexation. Still, she got out of the car in hurry.

Dashing after her husband to catch up.

The surrounding was oddly common unlike her expectation. She anticipated abandoned building to hold the gathering to be honest.

But now she headed into the small house which had two floors only.

There was nothing special at all. Even though, list of questions spun in Vera's head, she zipped her lips.

Following the man in silence.

"Master Ezra Kingston! I have brought the rings!" Out of blue, the man inside the house yelled out loud.

Startling Vera so that she flinched.

"Do you even realize what you have done?" A query echoed along with a cold tone.

It was the moment, the man fell on knees, his trembling eyes stared up into Ezra's ruthless gaze.

Though, Vera could not get a view of her husband's expression, she could feel the dark aura from back.

Something bad was about to occur for sure. She could sense it.

"I am so sorry, Master! Please forgive me! It took a day more to finish! I was trying my best to get beautiful rings for both of you! I was attempting so hard to gain the best looking one! Please forgive me!"

Tears began to scroll down on the man's cheeks as he started to beg for mercy.

The words opened the pathway for the woman to understand the situation finally. So it was like this.

Ezra ordered the rings to make it perfect for their fake marriage.

But this man on knees pulled days more to get it done. As result, Ezra had nothing to prove about his marriage today when Zane asked.

No wonder, Ezra was exasperated.

"Where are the rings?"

Without responding to the man's pleading eyes, Ezra queried. It was when the man pulled out the box from his pocket.

Hoping Ezra Kingston would ignore this issue. Or so he believed.

"Ah, took you long enough"

A murmur escaped between Ezra's lips. Grasping the ring box.

He checked the inside to make sure the rings were there.

But after that, an unexpected order echoed.

"Bury him alive"

The three cruel words escaped from Ezra effortlessly while he turned to the back with box in his hands.

Only to meet the shocked gaze of the woman. She was at loss for words.

"WAIT! NO! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!"

Due to panic mixed with fear, the man yelled out loud over the sight of the two men appearing from behind of the woman instantly.

Completely seeing his life sinking deep down. "Let's go, darling"

A small beam flashed across Ezra's face. He seemed unbothered by shout. It left Vera in pool of disbelief.

How could he be.....

perilously hot?!
