Chapter 2: Prologue
What nonsense is this!
Out of all those people in the world, I fell for an idiotic, arrogant and a very unbearable man!
Gosh! He has a bad mouth too!
Sometimes he says things that stab your heart; you are speechless and can fall into depression easily.
But don't hope that he would ever apologize…
No, this devilishly handsome womanizer and the top billionaire knows no basic manners-- No sorry and No Thanks.
I have a hidden intention to kill him someday!
Then again, I am scared to go to Jail and ruin my life over a worthless fellow.
"And… Are you waiting for a special invitation?" He asked in a bored tone without glancing at me as he flipped over the pages of his file.
"No!" I answer through gritted teeth and turn to leave.
"Thought so!" he mumbled and I slammed the door behind me; fuming in anger.
Why him?
Seriously, murder was on my mind! If I want to keep my sanity, I have to kill him!
Bzzz…
Bzzz…
Without checking the caller ID, I snapped at whoever was at the other end to disturb me at this moment. It was bad timing, they should know!
"WHAT!"
"The painting fell. Come back and put it in its place." That husky voice from the other end took me aback.
I knew to answer him right away before he ended this call.
"I refuse!" Saying, I walked away but was stopped in the track when he did it again!
"Oh you know you don't have a choice. Right, darling?" His mocking tone added fuel to my anger.
Regardless, the last word did something weird to me. It faded the moment he chuckled slowly and ended the call.
Urghhhhhh!!!
I threw away my phone only to regret it later.
Grabbing my hair in pure irritation, I screamed in my mind--
Idiot! Idiot!
"IDIOT!"
Before letting my hair go.
He successfully gets on my nerves; I can't do anything because I am tied down with a contract. Thus, I have no choice other than following his orders!
Not caring if my face depicts my emotions, I entered his office with a loud slam and searched on the floor frantically.
"You might be looking for this?"
I followed his voice and stilled in my place.
That stupid man was sitting on his desk with his shirt undone!
What the fuck!
His tie was loose, hanging haphazardly while his bare hard-toned chest was on display. It shone in the daylight and I can't get over the fact that how smooth it appeared; flawless and… Hot with those visible abs.
Struggling to keep my anger, I followed his displayed body from the belly button to up above until I reached his face. Suddenly, the anger returned seeing his infamous playboy smirk!
What a waste of such beauty!
"What are you waiting for? Get this painting and put it back in its place." He said in a tone that sent tingles right through your abdomen to the core.
I clicked my tongue in annoyance, reaching for the painting that was in his hand. However, he pulled it away.
Glaring at him, I tried once again getting a bit closer. He did it yet again and I grumbled in pure annoyance.
"Give it back or I am not doing it!" I said and the way he raised his eyebrow challengingly; we both knew who had the upper hand.
So, taking this opportunity, I lurched forward but that fucker was too smart. He read my move faster and swiftly changed his hands, resulting in me falling on him.
In an instant he wrapped his arms around my waist and hummed in pleasure. My ears turned red hearing him make this sexy voice. Not just that, my body heated as he intentionally rubbed his chest against mine.
"Stop it!" I tried to push him away with whatever strength I had; none, in reality.
"Really? Your face says otherwise!" He teased and I shut my eyes close, hoping he doesn't see the effect he had on me.
Luckily, he loosened his hold and allowed me to stand on my feet.
"That was for calling me an idiot, 'aloud and clear!' Now take this and fuck off!" He was back again to his normal self and I stood with my jaw drop.
Pervert! He heard me? Shit! I need to be careful from now on. This can't continue or I'll be in danger.
Without another word, I caught the painting he threw aimlessly and immediately hung it back on the wall, beside the door.
I left before giving him a look, he winked at me when I walked away!
No. 1 arrogant!
Whatever, I need to maintain my distance from him! He might know and that is why he keeps getting closer, intentionally. I can't give in to his playboy ways…
He isn't the right guy for me.
But it was close… I would have forgotten my anger and fallen for his explicitly handsomeness.
"Good Evening, Scarlett. Mr. Brown has an important business party later today. Please be ready by 7.40 PM as we have to make it by 8 PM there." And when I thought he couldn't get me angrier, here is it!
"A Party???" I stared at his secretary in disbelief.
It's already 5! How does he expect me to be ready in 2 and half hours when it's an important meeting for him?
"Well… Hasn't Mr. Brown said anything regarding it?" The poor secretary, Vienna, asked in fear.
"That Ba--" and before I could make a mess, she interrupted immediately and a bit loudly.
"No worries! We still have some time to shop!" She said but we both knew it was impossible!
"Good luck with that, honey!" That bastard's voice infuriated me.
I turned my head and showed him a middle finger that made his eyes pop out.
Ah, take that bitch!
"Ma'am!" I grunted hearing Vienna's gasp.
"Please be more careful. You don't know who is out around taking pictures." She said, frantically searching everywhere.
"Relax! No one would." I tried to reason but inwardly, I felt bad for her.
"You know what Ms. Smith? I want you to head to the venue and make sure everything is arranged. Right now!" And then he spoke again, trying to mess up my life.
"Mr. Brown-" Vienna's scared and timid voice interrupted.
He descended down the stairs and gave her a glare that made her shut up. I gulped when he stepped closer, into my face, with a hard glare.
"Let's see how you are going to manage. Be there sharp at 8!" He spoke huskily and I clenched my fists tightly not to let his voice affect me in any way.
"See you there, wifey…" and suddenly he leaned in to kiss near my mouth; paralyzing me.
Seeing the effect, he smirked and left humming in his throat.
Oh yeah, did I tell you that this idiotic jerk was my husband?
Yes, I am Kendis Cooper; I mean 'now' Kendis Brown-- Wife of the hottest billionaire of the entire country, Mr. Liam Brown!
"The hell!" I whispered after what felt like forever.
I can't believe him!
Not only did he send Vienna away, but also left me with nowhere to start. I would never make it on time.
Think, Kendis think…
Every dress has been worn at some point; it won't do tonight! Liam would kill me slowly and sweetly.
Now what?
***
After thoughtful consideration, I sent our housekeeper to get me a dress while Jones, our private stylist, was arranged immediately.
It surprised me as I thought Liam would have reached out to him and ordered not to.
Meanwhile, Jones freaked out learning we have no dress to start with.
"Are you kidding me? And how should I get your makeup done? What about the nail paints, the lipstick?" He started getting angry and I was almost in tears.
Jones took a sharp breath and started dialing a number.
"Halen! Black please! It should be a bit sexier." And without another formality, Jones ended the call.
"Don't tell me you asked for a sexier dress for me!" I said a bit loudly.
He smirked devilishly and nodded.
"Of course, Candy! Unless you want me to accompany Mr. Brown in that." He had this blush on his face and I grunted.
"I don't care if you do!" And Jones laughed at that.
"Sure you don't!"
What does he mean?
"I don't really!" I emphasized but Jones raised his hands up in surrender.
"Okay then, let's get started."
***
7:30 P.M.
"Wow! Is that really you?" Jones complimented as we were finally done getting me dressed up.
To be honest, I must appreciate Halen, the housekeeper. She really did a fine job picking this dress.
It was a long dress that reached till mid-calf, there was a slit in the back, only a little high; an illusion neck with nothing to reveal too much. It was just right and long sleeved. I absolutely loved it except the back.
The back was slightly low. I am habituated to have it covered because of the stupid panda tattoo there. Regardless, it was beautiful.
Jones gave me a pair of sequined heeled wedges and big diamond earrings. Since the neck was high and closed, no necklace was needed.
"Thank you so much guys!" I hugged them gratefully.
"Well, save it for a bit more." Jones added and I frowned.
"No drivers are available and you sure wouldn't want to appear at the party in a taxi!" He said and I seriously wanted to punch Liam.
"I'll take you there." Halen offered and I smiled at her with sincerity.
And so…
I headed to the party venue of Mr. Liam Brown-
The moment we stopped in front of the red carpet, I stilled seeing him walk towards my car with a dashing smile on his face.
I was awestruck at his display of handsomeness. He had styled his hair to one side, letting a few tough ends fall on his forehead. Liam wore a black suit with a gray shirt beneath. Then with the flash of the cameras, his emerald colored eyes shone enticingly. My eyes gazed over his undoubtedly perfect 'diamond' shaped, clean shaven face with thick eyelashes and eyebrows, neatly kept.
He opened the car door for me and lovingly helped me get out of the car. I was in a daze, going with the flow naturally. A blush crept when his thumb rubbed over the back of my hand; placed in his. My heart raced as he placed a kiss on it before pulling me closer.
God swear, I had forgotten to breathe as Liam, the hottest billionaire of the country (if not the world) placed his hand on the small of my back. My eyes closed shut when he kissed my cheeks and whispered in a seductive tone-
"You did a fine job, wifey!"
Unwantingly, an embarrassing gasp escaped my lips that boosted his ego.
Liam escorted me inside the venue; through a huge crowd of paparazzis lining both sides of the entrance.
"Mr. And Mrs. Brown, welcome to the party!" Vienna grinned secretly at me with an appreciative gesture.
"Thank you, Ms. Smith." I smiled politely at her and tried not to think too much about the way Liam was holding me or being close.
If only he wasn't being a Jerk!
