“Now wait, will you?" Mia said before Morris could turn the corner and go into his room or, worse, his grandmother’s room. He was an arsehole like that.Morris stopped, his smirk still in place, and it only further infuriated Mia.She really wanted to see the videos that Morris had. What was there? What was Kevin up to with Alessia? Since the intervention by Alessia, Kevin has become less and less present at home. Finally, he had stopped coming home. It's been days now since she last saw him. She had wondered once in a while where he could be what he was up to, but she was not really bothered. She did not care what he did as long as he remained courteous and did not soil the name of the company.And an image like that... worse, a video...If people saw it, what would they think? That I gave my husband to Alessia in return for a partnership? She ran her fingers through her hair. That would be a scandal. A big one.“Oh, Mia. You're usually quick in making the right decisions; why are yo
Kevin had his hands stuffed in his pocket as he waited for the elevator door to open. When it opened, the other workers in there stood aside for him to enter inside, acting as though he had leprosy or some easily contagious disease.Shortly after he stepped, they began to whisper. Uninterested, Kevin walked out, ignoring them.The elevator doors were about to shut when someone called out, “Please, wait, hold it."Kevin was quick to propel himself forward and put his foot in between the doors. The moron that was closer to the door had only muttered to the others. “It's the new guy; he always comes in at the last minute.”"Thank you,” his breathing was heavy as he rushed in and thanked Kevin.“Good morning, guys,” he said to everyone as he stood by Kevin's left side.“Morning, newbie," they answered sweetly, and Kevin could not help but roll his eyes.The newbie let out a long exhale as the elevator doors closed. “I really need to get an apartment close by,” he muttered to himself.“By
He shook his head as he made his way to his post, the one he had just recently assumed after serving as one of the security guards for two weeks.Kevin found it funny that all the talks they dedicated a good time of their morning to were all about him—the CEO of Print Odd company—and Mia's useless husband.He briefly chuckled to himself.Even as he made his way to the CCTV footage room, he felt the judgemental and condescending stares, and he wondered what they would think and how they would look at him and talk to him if they knew who he really was.Just as he stepped into his office space, about to settle in his seat, the telephone rang.He walked to it and picked up the call. “Hello?”“It's the boss’ secretary.”“Okay?” What does Mia want this time?“Your attention is needed in the boss’ office.” There was a pause, and Kevin was about to drop the telephone when the secretary hurriedly called out, almost as an afterthought.Kevin arched his brows after the call finally ended. Why do
Mia gaped at Kevin, wondering if she had heard wrong, wishing that she had heard wrong."What do you mean that's impossible?” She asked incredulously, angrily.Kevin shook his head, looking exasperated. “I mean, I cannot stop seeing Alessia.” He enunciated each word. "I cannot stop speaking to her, and I cannot stay away from her. Ask for something else."Mia was rendered speechless. He was not even remorseful about what he had done or felt bad that his relationship with Alessia bothered her. “So you're not denying being in a relationship with her?”Kevin rolled his eyes. "Name another price, Mia. Staying away from Alessia is out of the question.”“Wow," Mia breathed as she slowly shook her head. So Kevin, her own husband, valued his relationship with Alessia more than the one he had with her, his wife? Even if they weren't as all couples should be, had he forgotten that she saved his life? Sheltered him and fed him? Now she was convinced who Kevin really was—an ingrate. That was w
“Kneel down and apologize to Sunny, now!”Several servants were surrounding Kevin. Opposite him was a fierce dog, which was Morris's Sunny.Morris thundered. His voice attracted some of the maids and they sneaked into the large lobby of the Perry family's villa.Morris saw them but didn't say anything. His mission was to embarrass Kelvin like he used to anyway. With the maids around, it would make everything sweeter for him.“Do you even know how high and important this dog is?” Morris began with a flex of his muscle. “This dog is more expensive than the whole of your family combined. I will not stand still and watch you disregard it!”Kevin felt so humiliated, and he struggled hard, and said angrily, "It was your dog that bit me first! I’m just trying to protect myself!”Morris scoffed. “Does it look like I'm concerned a bit about you? Aren't you the useless house husband of the Perry family?”He said mockingly.The maids laughed lowly and exchanged words quietly.Something built ins
Morris groaned in pain and held onto his waist. He didn't expect Kevin to make such a move.He had never made such an intelligent move. How was he able to do it? Kevin has always been the dumb husband of Mia and he has enjoyed treating him badly for a year now.The men rushed closer to him and assisted him up. But he pushed them away angrily and turned to look at the maids who had been watching the whole drama unfold. He felt embarrassed."What are you still doing there!" He thundered. "Get lost!"The maids scampered away.Morris yelled several times before he turned to Kevin again. He was very upset. How could Kevin have made such a move and the men couldn't even stop it?"You are making a big mistake!" he yelled. "I'm telling you! You are!"Kevin didn't respond. A dark frown was on his face as he stood up slowly. More images flashed across his eyes. The dizziness increased but the headache was gone now. The images became clearer now but it seemed like his heart was racing as he wen
Mia frowned. She didn't expect that from Kevin at all. Within a year that she had known him, he was always timid but she didn't know where the courage suddenly came from.When Mia first met him, Kevin was not only timid but dense. This was even one of the reasons why she decided that he was fit to be her husband.But it was strictly a deal, Kevin wasn't supposed to act like a real husband. This was why they never slept together. They have never even shared a kiss since they have been married.But then how dared he demand to get involved in a business negotiation? Who has he started seeing himself as?Morris was shocked at Kevin's utterance too. Kevin has been acting really strange since a few minutes ago. Firstly, it was the skill he displayed. Now, he was being too bold.But before he could say something, Mendy cut in quickly."Well, you shouldn't be worried, Kevin. It's not like it's a new thing to us. Just last night, we were together in the same room in the hotel for a whole night
Kevin's words stunned everyone, but only Kevin himself knew the truth.Yes, he was the legendary "Lord Phoenix."Years ago, Kevin was ambushed by his enemies and met with an accident.He suffered head injuries and lost his memory. Fortunately, he was rescued by Mia, who happened to pass by.The Perry family was in turmoil at that time, and Mia, as the heir of the family, was on the verge of being stripped of her inheritance rights because she was unmarried.According to the Perry family's rules, only married individuals could take the helm of the family!Thus, Mia set her sights on Kevin, who had lost his memory and was somewhat timid. To her, Kevin was merely a tool to enable her to smoothly take over the family.Over the past few years, she had shown no concern for Kevin. Who would care about the feelings of a mere tool?But obviously, no one would believe his words.Mendy regarded Kevin for a few minutes and suddenly burst into laughter. "This your husband is a really humorous guy,
