LOREN'S POINT OF VIEW.

"Babe, what are you doing here?" My eyes still stuck on the half-dead man kneeling on the rug close to Javier's table.

"Bruno, take him out," Javier calls out to the bodyguard that has been glaring at me, Bruno drags the man towards the door causing me to whimper as he passed me.

Snapping out of my shock, I saw Javier close to me picking up the suit that fell.

"Javi, what was that?" I whispered, he smiled at me making me feel irritated.

"Relax Loren, it's business." He walks over to his table dropping the suit. I stood there horrified at his response

"Business?" Unsure of my question itself.

"He's owing me money, he's no saint, he gambles a lot in my bar and never pays me back. It's a business, Loren." I felt an urge to puke as those words came out of his mouth. Is this what he does?

"I won't be where I am right now if I let people owe me."

"Where are you going to kill him?" I'm scared of the answer that will come out of his mouth.

" No." I breathed out in relief.

"I'm defiantly not a killer plus if I kill him I would I get my money back?" That makes sense but still beating up a man isn't the right way.

"Come have a seat, I'll give you a tour of the hotel."

"I can't, my shift is starting in an hour." This isn't exactly true but what do you expect me to say after I find my husband pointing a gun at a man.

"Too bad." This is one awkward marriage.

"The place is nice tho, from what have seen." I looked around.

"I'm glad you like it." I do feel bad, I want to put in an effort in this marriage but my mind is just elsewhere. If I take a step forward, I take several steps backward.

I was about to say something but the door opens, I turned around to see a woman come in, blonde hair, dressed in red, red lipstick, red pumps.

Quite bold.

She smiles at me, unsure if I should return the smile just then Javi's voice was heard.

"Oh, you are here," Javi called out from my behind.

"Just on time." She replies I didn't fail to see the flirtatious smile she gave Javi.

"Loren, this is my therapist Danielle." I feel guilty, he's putting the work to make this marriage work unlike me.

"Danielle, this is my beautiful wife Loren." I put my hair behind my ear awkwardly.

"Hi Loren, Javi has told me a lot about you. He adores you." Now I'm feeling extremely bad. I sent a fake smile to her direction.

"I should leave you guys now." I turned to Javi.

"Okay." He moves close to me placing a light kiss on my lips.

"Take care of your self."

"You too," I said awkwardly, as I made my attempt to leave.

"Nice meeting you Danielle." I smiled.

"You too " I heard her say as I leave Javier's office.

"Can you shut up?" My eyes still fixated on my book, not giving Ace the joy of knowing he's actually distracting me. We are on Javi's jet flying to Mrs. Grey's wedding venue.
