Chapter 28 The lady with the mark
(The lady with the mark)
Actually really? She thinks I'm afraid of grandpa? Well it's the other way round
"Woah,woah, calm down Mrs Blacks, it's not my fault you slept off. Besides after your wedding, what should come next?" I reminded her
"Just fuck off." She stated and hung up
I fumed as I handed the phone to Markus
"She seems to be a handful one." Nightmare stated
I smirked and sighed.
"Yeah, she's pretty stubborn." I replied him as he scoffed
"Pretty stubborn hey," Bane chirped in.
"Okay now, Dextrose, the king of the walls, he's asked for a proper meeting with the Scorpion King. Said he wanna end the rivalry." Nightmare informed
"For fuck's sake, he's a dumb fucking asshole, I don't have a shit with him. Prepare my jet, I'll be leaving for Scotland tomorrow." I informed
"We're gonna inform Sniper right away." Bane grinned and left as Nightmare threw me a warning smirk.
"What's up with you?" I asked as I took off my coat
"You're a fucking ruthless dude, you should remember that, don't let her ride you. Control her, you don't want her ending up like Mariana." Nightmare said with a light punch at my left muscles.
Yeah, he's got a thing there, I shouldn't let her control me, I won't fall in love with her anyway. I just want my grandpa to see that I'm a man and he shouldn't be controlling me anymore.
I just want to use her to get legal rights and respect but why do I feel like I shouldn't use her, why do I feel so drawn to her? Fuck! It's eating me up. My phone began ringing, I picked it up and it's none other than Lowell.
"What's the problem?" I asked
"Boss, there's something you need to see right now, hurry up." Lowell informed me.
What the fuck is going on? I can't place my mind on it so I just hurried home.
"Oh, he's back." I heard Abby's voice, I could swear there was no irritation on it
"Hello there little wife." I greeted with a peck on her cheek
"Fuck the greetings, you must be hungry." She smiled and helped me out of my suit
"Okay, okay, what's with the changed attitude?" I asked
"What attitude?" She asked rudely
"You're acting all sweet and nice today." I arched a brow to inspect her carefully
"Well, you're still my good looking stubborn husband, it's not bad if I should act sweet is it?" she asked as I smirked and walked towards her, I wanted to tease her, I want to see the effect I had on her.
"So.. You're after me and not my money?" I asked as I pinned her to the table not giving a shit about the guards and maids.
"None of the above." She retorted as she licked a strawberry, trying to tease me I guess, but it did had effect on me as I could feel my cock twitched.
"I should.. Have my bath." I informed as I climbed the stairs
"Should i accompany you?" She asked with a cute smile.
That smile.. So much similar to that of Mariana, I think she's the photocopy of Mariana. It's just that Mariana is softer and obedient while she's tougher and stubborn.
I walked to our room as I started taking off my shirt then a knock on the door.
"Come in." I knew it's Lowell already, no need to ask
"Man, I fucking hate this bodyguard shit." He muttered as I smirked
"Yeah, I know you'll hate it, but you're the only one I could count on to help me with this. Besides, you're good at it but don't steal my wife." I noted
"Fuck it man, I'm not after your wifey, but the ladies here are handful, not to mention your wife is a sexy one." He shrugged making me frown
"You've been checking my wife out? I asked you to watch her not to snatch her away from me." I warned as he chuckled
"Come on man, I don't mean it, I've got eyes of my own buh I won't stab you at the back." He grinned
"Okay, okay, what is it?" I inquired
"You know the eagle tattoo? The one you asked me to search for?" He asked as I stopped what I was doing, that tattoo could only belong to one person, Mariana. Yes only Mariana. The king gave it to her when she was a baby at her back, sort of a birthmark.
"Yes, what happened to it?" I asked curiously and nervously as I found difficulty in breathing
"Calm down man,just take it easy." Lowell smirked
"What happened! Or is this one of your shit prank on me?" I clamored as Lowell smirked
"I saw it today." He smiled
I almost fell, i stumbled as I unconsciously moved backwards. She's alive, she's fucking alive. I married someone else when she's alive, I broke my promise to her. No, I won't let that happen, I won't hurt her again, I'll divorce Abby if I had to, I only love Mariana
"Where's she?" I asked
"Well.. The mark's on her back, a hidden mark by her left side." He described
"Yes, it's the mark, it's Mariana." I nodded in approval
"What will you do with your wife then?" He frowned
"I don't know." I honestly answered
"I can see it, you're developing feelings for her." He smiled as he tapped my shoulder
"Who's the lady with the mark?" I asked
"She's living around you this whole time and you were dumb to notice?" He asked me in a whisper as he shook his head with a deep smile
"What? Where? How?" I was already confused and this all is making me lose focus.
"Is everything okay in there? You've been taking your shower for more than 3 hours now, the food is already getting cold Boss man." Abby's hoarse voice chirped in
"I'm coming, give me 6 minutes." I replied
"Argh.. What a time wasted on washing yourself, who are you trying to impress?" She grumbled and walked away while Lowell chortled
"Okay, enough of this games, who's she?" I asked angrily
"Your wife silly." Lowell voiced out.
