Million Dollar Bride

Chapter 13 : Lies

Ok I'd like to start off with an apology for not only disappearing but for this short chapter as well. I'll try to be consistent but with everything going on it seems like I'll continue to be flaky but I will try my best to update this story at least once a week and when I'm able to twice a week . Thank you for checking out my work and ill be going back to edit past chapters while updating as often as i can from now on.
Stay Safe, GhostCO1
I hummed irritated that he wasn't just focused on eating. Taking a sip of the wine I set my self back and motioned for him to continue. My irritation was about to get the best of me as I continued chew on the food still in my mouth. He placed his fork and knife down. "I want to apologize for what I said earlier, but you have to understand that I know the way the women I'm seen with are talked about. I don't want that to happen to you." I nodded in slight understanding and he seemed to relax. "Once we go through with the public proposal I won't be as worried but for now I ask that you are more cautious about the things you do and what you wear." I raise an eyebrow amused that his only worry was about what I did and wore , what the magazines said about me didn't bother me in the least. "Maybe you should take your own advice Xavier. Be more cautious about your actions and the way you dress when out and about as well." He looked surprised and even a bit embarrassed as he realized that it was his action that had landed him on those front pages ,the same actions that he was warning me about. "I'd also like to apologize for reacting the way I did instead of simply telling you that you had hurt me ," he sighed and nodded." I understand why you did what you did and I don't hold it against you. I was an ass ,I deserved it." We quietly continued eating deciding the matter was settled between us. Finishing first and deciding against waiting for him to finish I stood with my plate and moved back into the kitchen. Setting my plate down I look back at our luggage and realized that I had yet to explain the mess we encountered and left behind at the hotel. " Xavier , for the duration of our time here we won't be seeing those two photographers. We'll be staying here until we leave i wish we could just fly out on the next plane but we must still make this look like an actual vacation." I turned back around trying to busy myself with cleaning my plate and glass aware that I had not given him an actual explanation. Finishing up and placing them to dry I was able to finally solidify an actual explanation for our sudden change of plans. " I believe that the men following us managed to place cameras in our room." I turned to face him once again trying to maintain eye contact in an effort to seem honest. " When i entered the room i noticed a blinking red light next to the bed.'' I saw him tense and leaned back onto the sink gripping the edge." Not wanting to draw anymore attention to it I tried to act as normal as possible and when we got to the lobby I talked to the head manager about a man going into our room while we were out." Lying came easily to me in that moment , there was no way he could have overheard my conversation with Hyorin. " They were kind enough to offer this villa while they figure out what happened while we were gone." He nodded seemingly understanding what had happened but remained tense. We both remained silent and I relaxed seeing that he was buying my story. "Is that all you talked about with that woman? ", I struggled momentarily to keep my relaxed attitude as his question caught me by surprise. Could he have possibly overheard our conversation about her? " No , no that was all we discussed." He stared for a moment not breaking eye contact studying me. Then he simply smiled taking me off guard once again. "Ok ,keep me updated on any developments." Forcing myself to smile back i nodded and excused me to unpack in my own room. Once I closed my door i quickly climbed out the window and pressed myself against the wall in an effort to stay hidden. The room i had chosen for myself was to close to the entrance but was perfect in case anyone tried to break in. The other down side was the fact that the kitchen window was close by. Sliding across I managed to slip further to the back of the house. Watching the house i fished my phone out anxious for news about what really went down at the hotel. The phone range as i looked at the house ensuring that Xavier wasn't anywhere near by. I couldn't deal with anymore questions when I didn't even have clear answers to my own. "Hello?." Breathing a sigh of relief I thanked god that this man never managed to maintain good sleeping schedule. "Micheal I need you to call Hyorin. She'll explain everything that going on but what i need you to do is figure out what exactly is going on , why are they all appearing now? Is this a personal vendetta or are those bastards simply puppets."
