The Last December

Chapter 11

My Personal Hell
Ali
Just a little bit taste of her can make me loose my mind. And that's what happened a minute ago when i licked her. She tasted like My Personal Hell. Her scent still fills my nostrils. This was the first time i got intimately close to her. If I would've not left the room, i might have kissed her. And she would have pushed me back.
When i came here, i was very angry, she shouldn't have burned the entire warehouse, and thats why I thought i'm going to punish her and not let this slide, because i can deal anything she does to me to annoy me but she should definitely not mess with business. But when i went inside and i saw her, i melted. Her makeup free skin, all flushed and pink. Her beautiful lashes. Her loose free hair. She was wearing a nightgown, i don't want to be a pervert but i could see her beautiful neck and down her cleavage. I want to know and feel what was beneath the nightgown. It's okay, i just need to wait, she will come around soon, after all she's my wife.
I open the door of my room and find Mikael lying in the middle of the my bed. I raise my eyebrow, and he smirks. He's never really in my room unless and until he needs something.
"What are you doin here" i ask him.
He stands up and come forward so we face each other. " I want to go Spain"
"Yea then go why are you telling me" i tell him because this is weird for him to ask about going anywhere as he never really ask anyone and does whatever fuck he wants. Me and Mikael were close but after Mom's death, everything shed apart. And now we only meet each other at dining table where he plays the role of cupid.
"Dad isn't letting me go, i told him i was leaving tomorrow but he came and said "if u take even a step of this house, you l'l be grounded for a months" that was his sentence i dont know why is he not letting me go" he finishes.
"So what should i do?" I ask him.
"Idk tell him to let me go, it's important"
"What Important?" I ask him, because i feel there's nothing important but just he wants to skip college and roam around.
"I cannot tell, just help me out brother this time" his features softens.
"Fine, i'll talk to Father" i say.
He moves forward to leave the room, but before leaving he says "you should keep an Eye on Adeline's move, i'm sure she's going wild" he smirks and before i can say anything he leaves.

Next Morning, we sit down for breakfast, Adeline walks down, in a soft pink knee length dress, her hairs falling free, her makeup is soft pinkish, she's wearing those high heels, that makes her feet looks even more sexy. Adeline is a perfection, a beauty i can never find in any other women, but you know i don't need to find women, because Adeline is my woman.
She bends down and kisses My father's cheeks and then sit on the chair.
"Goodmorning everyone" she says.
She and my dad continue to talk ignoring me as if i dont exist in the same room.
"Aren't you coming office today" i ask, because usually she wears suits when she comes for work but today she is dressed differently.
"No actually I'm going to my studio, its been a while since i went there"
"Yea sure you should go Dear" my father says.
Her art studio. It's that one place, Adeline finds solace. She always go there whenever she wants peace. The studio is surrounded by plants all over, flowers, paintings, books. One will find if they go there. There's 4 wall shelf where adeline keeps all her books, she's passionate reader. Then on the other side there are canvases and paints and the free places are all surrounded by plants flowers. The studio is behind Adeline's mansion, it's already in the garden. Me and Adeline both designed it together few years ago, when she was just mine, when she would come to me and tell everything that happened. Not this one, who barely talks to me and enjoy sharing space with me. Adeline always keep her distance be it anywhere. In the meetings, party, dinner, home, office everywhere she's kept a distance. And all because of this marriage.
Adeline phone ring and she gets up from the table and leave.
"Why are you guys so distant" i look at my dad when he asks me that. Me and my dad have never really talked about it, i don't even like my father to have this conversation with him.
"We are working out" i say while chewing on my food.
"It clearly doesn't look like" he says.
I look at him and "you don't need to interfere in my business and now will you let me eat in peace"
Silence. Peaceful silence on the table.

"Sir you have to meet Mr Chen, in 30 mins, i think we should leave_" malcom sentences get cut off when Adeline open the door of my office and barges in.
"Get out" she says to Malcom. She looks very badly angry, what happened?
Malcom looks at her and in protest he says "mam we are busy"
" i said get the fuck out!!" She screams.
I motion malcom to leave.
"What the fuck you did you asshole" she moves towards me so quickly. I'm still settle on my chair, and she's infront of me so close i can smell her scent, she's bending so we can face each other, her one hand in on the table and the other on my collar, she pulls me . "Tell me did you want to revenge on me? For last night" i get completely confused what is she talking about?
"What are you saying" she removes her other hand from the table and grab my other collar and pulls me again.
"You burned my studio Ali!!!" She screams and then she leaves me. She's now standing. "I didn't do it" i confess because I actually didn't do it. I would never hurt her. Burning her studio means hurting her and i would never do that.
"Stop fooling me" she laughs manically.
I stand up, moves toward her and hold her face with both of my Palms.
"I promise Addie, I would never do such thing that would hurt you" i look in her eyes and i can see a tear falling down, i wipe it off. She's still in my hold. "Then who did, when i went, dad was calling the fire extinguisher, the entire studio burnt, nothing is left, there's no footage of anyone who started" she says her voice breaks by every sentence she says. Another tear slip from her eyes. "I'm so sorry Addie, i'll find out how it happened. And I didn't do it, I would never use you personally in our rivalry baby, I can't see you crying so please stop now, I can't see you in pain as well. so calm down now" i lick her tears, her eyes go widen but she still doesn't leave from my hold, the salty taste of her on my tongue feels like the best thing. I kiss her forehead and then pull her into hug, her head lays on my chest, i rub her back and calm her, she keeps her hand on my waist. And we stand there for what feels like forever.
