His Stolen Love

Chapter 28. Emilia

“Hello, Stella. I’m coming there just in fifteen minutes.” I said as I hurry in the closet to find my purse.
“What? But you’re on leave.” A hint of confusion in Stella’s voice.
Stella is my colleague in the hospital.
“I don’t remember taking leave.” I said.
“Your husband took one week off for you.” Stella said.
I sighed. Why did he do that? I really want to go work. Now I have to sit and do nothing. I hate him.
“Ok. Thanks for telling me.” I said as I hung up.
Donna came and said she’ll show me the house.
It was huge. I was surprised the whole time I was seeing a new different thing.
After that I decided to cook with her.
It was fun. She was telling me how she first worked for his grandfather and then his dad and now for him. She also told me the stories about how he used to be. So joyful and funny. But after his mother died he became a cold person.
“You know after your engagement when he saw you? He was so upset. He hurt himself.” She said as chopped the vegetables.
I think back to that time. I remembered. When he kissed me I saw his wound.
“Oh…” I said while mixing the soup.
Donna glanced at me with serious expression.
“Emilia dear, you’re his world and you don’t even know it.”
I felt butterflies dancing in my stomach.
“But… he always act so strange. Sometimes he is so possessive and sometimes he is soft.” I said.
“He’s bad at expressing his feelings. You have to understand him. And the reason why he’s possessive is that because he’s afraid to lose you.”
Afraid to lose me?
But it can’t change the fact that I hate him. So much.
After that Alicia and Mia decided to take me to shopping.
They were sitting in the living room.
“Emy… this house is… priceless.” Mia said while looking around.
“I know.” I said as I come back after getting ready.
“So…last night… did you guys…?” Alicia asked raising her eyebrow while smiling.
“There is no way I’m going to let that jerk touch me.” I said while getting out of the house.
“But you have to one day.” Mia said winking.
I rolled my eyes at them.
We did shopping. We ate. We had a lot of fun.
When I came home.
It felt like… he was gone but he was everywhere.
I laid down on the couch and start reading a book.
Just then I received a message. A missed call from him and a message that says, “Did you had fun with your friends?”
I was confused. I texted back.
Me: how do you know that I was with my friends?
Hadrian: I have my ways.
Of course his ways. He always say that.
Me: What are you doing right now?
Hadrian: I’m with my secretary. At lunch.
I hesitated before replying.
Me: Is it a she or he?
Hadrian : A she. Why are you asking that?
He wasn’t there but I could sense that he was smirking right now.
Me: Because… nothing.
Hadrian : Don’t worry Mia cara, I would never cheat on you with someone else. You’re the one and only in my life.
Me: I don’t care if you do.
Hadrian: what are you doing right now?
Me: I’m… having tea with Ace.
There was a pause before he replied.
Hadrian: Who the hell is Ace? And why are you with him? You’re not at home? Donna said that you were at home. Where are you?
I chuckled.
Me: So it was Donna who gave you my whereabouts.
Hadrian: I asked you something. Who is Ace?
Me: he’s my…
Hadrian: your what?
Me: He’s a fictional book character. And I’m having tea with him in the book. Why are you so possessive?
He wasn’t here but I can sense that he was relieved right now.
Hadrian: Oh.. I thought… Never mind.
Me: I know exactly what you thought. Anyways I’m going to rest now. Bye.
Hadrian: Bye. I just wanted to say that I am really missing you.
Me: Everyone do miss me. Not only just you.
I laughed. I can sense that he was pissed that I didn’t said ‘I miss you’ back.
He’s not that bad after all. But it can’t change the fact that I hate him and I will definitely make him regret marrying me.
