CHAPTER 6: HE'S MY HUSBAND. ISN'T IT HONEY?
"Maybe, will I get a bonus after my new work?" Adam joked. Fidel almost coughed out blood.
...
EVENING
Silver Castle was lit everywhere. It was like the Silver City in heaven where everyone wanted to be. The guards dropped off Lian and Bella and were driving to Nolan's company. Not that the guards weren't enough, but most would want to hang around their boss. Secondly, going to tell the boss that madam got home well. There were enough cars and everything was available. They could also walk around for fun. No one would ask.
Lian saw her old car driving in and immediately knew Kate was there. She was never in a rush so she went ahead and changed into a light evening dress before ascending the stairs to go back to the living room.
"Good to see you sister. But am curious, to what do I owe this visit?" Lian asked looking at Bella who was already seated.
This wasn't the first time Bella came to the castle. And every time she came, there was always chaos. At one time she tried to get Fidel into taking an aphrodisiac, the second visit she tried confessing her love, then she tried setting up Eva over Fidel and here she was now. Lian couldn't stop wondering what new tramp card she was coming with.
"Am I not allowed to visit my own sister?" Bella asked.
"Am surprised that suddenly our bond as sisters grew strong. Something up the nerves?" Lian asked.
"Maybe because am so happy you finally said yes to the world's greatest and richest man." Bella said but somehow in a mocking voice.
Since she wanted to show her disdain, Lian wasn't going to let it down. "And surprisingly my own sister has a crush on my man."
Bella was shocked as every time Lian saw right through her. She looked at her for a while before sighing. "Who wouldn't be?"
Then she stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"No one is allowed into the kitchen, only the woman of the empire is." A sexy male voice came. Fidel walked in with his coat on his shoulder. Kate froze in place. Fidel walked past her and stood beside Lian, so close that she felt uncomfortable since they hadn't gotten intimate, not even kissing deeply.
"Wow... Finally, my sister finds a place she's valued!" kate said full of emotions. "Don't be over the wing though, he's still what others want."
"He's my husband. Isn't it honey?" Lian said brushing herself on him. This was to make kate at least jealous. He was doing it for fun after all. She lived under the rule of the family, which included kate. She used to mock and ridicule her. Lian never grew up with love, and this was the chance of at least hurting her a little.
Fidel on the other hand couldn't explain what he felt. Being called honey, the clouds were coming down just now. He felt his heart melt. God knows how this girl is difficult.
And being called honey, at least this made his boring day.
For obvious reasons, Kate felt extremely shocked and jealous at the same day. How fast things change. Just few days ago, Lian was never concerned about how anyone addressed Fidel. In fact, she never cared who got close to Fidel. She was in her own world, begging Fidel to let her free. But today, here they were, intimately together and using sweet words. She couldn't believe how fast they got close. She took her handbag and went upstairs.
"Maybe you should just send her away." Fidel said.
Even after taking the photo of them close, Adam couldn't help but cough when he heard Fidel asking Lian to send someone away. Some days back, she would have personally asked kate to leave. In fact, not ask. He would have forced her out that is, if she could have managed to pass the group of guards. Which wouldn't have happened. There was no day any lady managed to step in the castle compound, leave alone talking at Fidel in the face. And he remembered when Fidel got angry. He shivered.
"No... Maybe I should put on a good show for her." Lian said while creating distance between them. "I grew up with them and they did bully me. I want to have a good revenge. Why am I even telling you this?" Lian looked up at Fidel.
"You just said now am your husband didn't you? As your husband, I must know your hardship so I could help you take revenge even if it means buying the Jones company. What kind of revenge do you want my queen?"
Adam wanted to cough out blood. "So this guy has been hiding his sweet version. God! Madam boss you did something!"
"I did that for a show. Don't get your hopes high. At least I had to get her jealous!" Lian curved her rosy lips and ran upstairs leaving Fidel looking at her expecting something good. His lips were curled and his eyes shone. The coat on his shoulder fell.
"Boss, you got a message." Adam disrupted his fantasy earning a nasty stare from Fidel.
He snatched the phone from his hands and walked upstairs without even looking at it. Who would be happy having sweet fantasies disrupted after a bring day?
He expected to meet Lian in the bedroom but she wasn't there. He then looked at his phone.
"Will be there."
It was a message from his mom.
"Fuck!" he now connected the dots. Kate was here this late and his mother was coming tomorrow. Could it be connected? When Lian turned him down at first and embarrassed him in front of his own parents, his mother developed a liking towards Kate because she felt Kate wouldn't disgrace her son. Besides, Lian wasn't begging for a marital home, she didn't even like Fidel in the first place and wasn't up to impressing anyone, not even the great family. To her, money wasn't everything.
But Kate? The opposite could be true. She did work hard to impress Fidel's parents and he felt vomiting every time he remembered his mother asking him to move on with Kate.
"To hell!"
Fidel cursed.
