Along With The Night (The Billionaire's Love #5)

Chapter 36

On the wrong side of theequation

Violet said nothing as we drove home. She was angry. But why? Didn't I just prove that her insecurity was for no reason at all? Then why she looks murderous? She said nothing just slammed the bedroom door on her way in.

 I am not getting in. I know that very well. And from the looks of it, she is not coming out too. But I have to know why she is mad at me. This is what she wanted, didn't she? Now I am very much confused.

Why she is behaving as if I had done something very much irresponsible. I sighed and settled down on the couch calling Ezra. "What happened? I thought you would be celebrating your new found fiancée by now" Ezra is always in the mood to joke. One thing I like about him that with him it is never a dull day around. 

"I am trying, but for some reason, Miss Washington is very angry," I told him. "Did you ask why?" He asked. "I don't have a death wish. I will let her cool down meanwhile, why don't you keep on monitoring?" I asked. "Sure, I will don't worry and if there is any news, I will tell you" With that, he cut the call.

I decided to knock on the door because I needed clothes to wear for bed. And unfortunately, all my clothes in my bedroom one which she and I shared. I found it open. And I walked in. I saw she was sitting on the sofa changed thinking something hard. "Tell me what is bothering you?" I asked trying to touch her. But she moved away.

"Nothing that you can solve, you have done enough already." She says as if I have created a big problem for her. It isn't true, is it? I sat down beside her. She pulled away. "I am tired I am going to sleep," She is still angry. But she is not going to tell me why. Is it because of the media? Is it because of the announcement that I made? "Why are you angry?" I asked.

"even if I tried to you will not understand." She said turning around facing away from me and not saying a word. "Come on when I didn't Violet. At least try and make me understand." I told her. 

"Sorry Mr. Night, I don't think you value my expertise even a little. Otherwise, you would have listened when I told you to keep our engagement under the wraps." I wish I could tell you why it was important to get this information public. But you still did it didn't you?" She asked angrily.

"I didn't think it was going to cause any problem." She looked at me with an angry gaze. "Yes, Lucian you never think. You just do without thinking about the consequences," She was still very angry at me. How am I going to get out of this one? I don't know. "Look it was just a silly stunt pulled by my idiot brother. He didn't mean it Querida."

"No, he never means anything, He is the fool of the family but you are not, you are the one who is the actual mastermind around the whole mishap. For some reason you wanted this to be a piece of public information. Isn't it?" She was the intelligent one always. 

And that is why I like her so, so much. For her mind. And for her soul. She is a beauty. And I cannot stand her being this much angry at me like this.

"Look Querida, sooner or later it would have been a piece of public information. It accelerated the process that is all." I tried to make her understand but she didn't want to listen. "It is alright Lucian you have done enough; I am tired can I sleep now?" She asked not looking at me still. "Alright, querida, get some rest we will talk tomorrow" I tried to kiss her and she moved away yet again.

I may have gone too far this time. But this isn't how she should have reacted anyway. She would have said something else. She should have loved being in her place. She loved it. But now, she doesn't like to see me even, it is just so wrong. 

Why cannot she just trust me with this? What is her problem anyway? "I am sorry, I should have thought this through," I whispered taking my change of clothes and moving towards the couch.
