After I Do (Knight #2) (On Hold)

Chapter 9

Rebecca's POV

After Marcus left, I was puzzled about what I was going to do today, there was so many places to go in Cannes but I didn't know where to start. After ordering room service and eating, I decided to go to the beach. It was a beautiful sunny day and I won't waste it.

I went to the closest beach to the hotel, the place wasn't crowded and I was grateful for that, I found a perfect spot and lay down. I took off my dress and heard a few whistles. I look to see a few men staring at me, some were even with their partner. Men are such pigs, always thinking with there penis and not their head.

"Men are such pigs " I heard someone state from best me, I looked to see a paled skin brunette glaring at the men in front of us.

"They have absolutely no respect for themselves or their partners " she continued, and then her eyes connected with mine.

"Oh, I'm sorry that I disturbed you with my grubbling "

"No, it's fine I agree. " 

"I'm glad you do or this would have been more awkward than it already is " she started then laughed awkwardly

"Where's my manner, I haven't even introduced myself. Octavia Smith, nice to meet you " she extended her hand out for me the shake.

"Rebecca Parker, I mean Knight, Rebecca Knight," I said as I accepted her handshake, she gave me a look of confusion and I can't blame her.

"I just got married, I'm still getting used to not using my maiden name "

"Oh I understand, one of my friends had the same problem " Octavia stated

After a while she spoke again

"Where's your husband? If you don't mind me asking " I was very unprepared for that question, of course, Octavia would ask that question, she must have assumed that I was newlywed and on my honeymoon. And newlywed couples we're always together and to see a newlywed bride without her husband would cause questions. Damn Marcus for putting me in this situation

"I don't mind " yes I do " he's back at the hotel doing some work "

"Work! On his honeymoon "

"Yeah, that's Marcus. He's a workaholic and I knew that before I married him " she nodded and dropped the subject and I was grateful. If I wasn't benefiting from this whole act, I would already gone and told everyone what happened and forced my way out of this marriage

"Anyways, enough talk about your husbands, let's just relax and talk " and with that everything went smoothly. Octavia was fun to be around and we click instantly.

After I spent the day with Octavia, I went back to the hotel, when I entered Marcus was already present

"You went out " he stated

"Of course I did, you didn't expect me to stay all day in the hotel waiting for you to come back " that shout him up but not for long.

"I know you're still mad about this morning "

"Why would I be mad"

"Let's just drop it " he clearly didn't want to argue and she didn't either

"How was your day " he asked out of the blue

"Oh it went great, I went to the beach and met someone. She such a nice person, she on vacation and we plan to meet up when she's back in New York"

"Really, what her name "

"Octavia Smith "

Many emotions flashed in Marcus eyes when I told him Octavia's name, and that made me wonder if they knew each other

"Rebecca I forbid you from seeing her again," he said, his voice thick with emotions. He then stormed out of the room and unto the balcony

I did not expect that respond but it made me want to dig deeper and I would

Why was Marcus so affected by Octavia's name?

****

I couldn't have said it better

Why do you guys think?
