《You Are Still My Wife!》 Final Chapter The Inauguration Final Chapter The Inauguration One yearter¡­. Frieze finallypleted her first project in thepany. It has been a year already and Idri and his entire family waits at the entrance of the shopping center to inaugurate it for the public. All media reporters stand slightly away from the entrance and the whole crowd is being controlled by the bodyguards. As she speaks to one of the reporters, she gives the construction credits to Mr. Kane. ¡°I would like to thank Mr. Kane for initiating the preliminary as well as the main phase of the project. I tried to be as efficient as him and wherever you are, I pray that you are happy and in good health. Thank you.¡± Idri stands at the center with his family taking all the pictures. Teresa and Simon hold one twin child each and waves at the reporters too. As Frieze was about to cut the ribbon, she pout at Idri signaling him to kiss her. She was expecting a peck kiss on her lips but instead, he grabs her by her waist and kisses her passionately not leaving her. He sticks out his tongue into her mouth and this time Rose fakes a cough, ¡°I thought I came to see the shopping center but I could see porn instead.¡± Frieze quickly jumps off and Idri releases her in an instant after hearing his mother¡¯s taunt. She sticks out her tongue in embarrassment while Idri looks nervous. The smile on his face is never to have seen before. He is so happy. Frieze calls in David and Rose and her parents who stand next to them to hold the scissor and cut the ribbon. They feel blessed at this gesture and while Idri¡¯s parents cut one ribbon while Frieze¡¯s parents cut the other one. They give a final look at the people outside the mall and they enter the big entrance of the mall. A few reporters who booked an appointment sessfully were allowed to enter to take picture of the interiors as well as of their family with the promise of not hindering their privacy and no questions allowed. Alex and Peter also enter the mall who were responsible for all the decorations for this day where the sess of Frieze is finally brought to the world. On one side, a golden board is sealed to the wall that says, ¡°A Big Thank You to Mr. Kane for your service to the family all these years. You have been a loyal employee, a great assistant and a forever friend.¡± Mr. Kane on the other side is watching live in his cozy mansion with his second wife in his arms. Though he has gone low key, he is emotional for the thank you they have sent across through media. He feels nostalgic but the happiest seeing his both sons quarrel while they y merry. His wife in his arms and away from the hustle bustle is the best retirement life that he ever wishes for and he fulfilled it though much earlier. But he has no regrets. He and his family is secure for the rest of their life. As a final picture, Alex and Peter stand next to Frieze showing off their engagement ring towards the camera. Simon and Teresa hold the twins with difficulty who are already super active babies and screaming at the lights around them. David and Rose and Frieze¡¯s parents stand next to each other holding hands. Frieze and Idri bend down in front of the entire group holding each other in arms for a group photo. They picture looked like a perfect family picture and it shed right on the front page of every newspaper in the city. A yearter¡­ This is from N?velDrama.Org. Idri is shouting while he ties his son¡¯s shoece ¡°Frieze, your son is just like you. Hot Chili Pepper kid. Gets angry really quick. Gosh!!!!¡± The End!!!!!!! Chapter 1: The Wedding Chapter 1: The Wedding Frieze dressed in her beautiful peach gown waited to leave the church with her husband on the limo decorated with red roses as Frieze loved red roses. She hugged her parents and sisters with tears in her eyes. Idri stood right next to her looking at her with an adorable smile on his face. He was finally able to marry her after running after her for two long years. Frieze was finally his and Frieze could not be happier than ever as she married her crush finally. Little she realised she was already in love with him during the two years when Idri was chasing her to ept him. She was happy to marry the man she loved. A love Marriage is what she wanted and she finally met the man of her dreams standing right by her side. Idri greeted the elders good bye along with his parents. Idri was based in Kiy city and had toe over to marry Frieze. For all these two years, he was traveling from B city to Kiy city to meet Frieze. Now that they are married, she is all ready to settle with him in a new citypletely. Her parents were happy yet emotional to see the newly wedded couple depart for the airport to catch the private ne. With the boarding of the couple in the ne, their married life begins.......N?velDrama.Org owns this. Chapter 2: A New Journey Chapter 2: A New Journey After 5 hours, the ne finallynded at the Kiy City Airport. Frieze looked around with a tired expression but felt a little nervous. This was her life now in this city. She is married to one of the most sessful Software Engineer who has been able to set up his own Software firm at the age of 30. His firm, Softectonic has be one of the best technologypanies in Kiy City with a Handsome CEO, Idri that every girl admired. Frieze feels like it to be a fairytale where she met and married a prince charming. As all the luggage were pulled out of the flight, a Landover stopped right in front of the couple. Idri signalled to the driver to put all the luggage behind and he opened the door for Frieze. Frieze sent off a flying kiss and teased him with a smirk "You seem to have started your husband duties already." Idri giggled with his face glowing and spoke "Yes, my wifey. You need to start getting used to all my love in every way." He winked at her. She blushed immediately and just to avoid eye contact, she quickly jumped into the car still with her cheeks red. Idri got into the car after her and giggling as he saw her blushing after the cheesy episode a while back. Frieze was an MBA in human resource management. She was hoping to join a goodpany to stay upied rather than staying at home all the time. She likes to stay busy and stay finally independent. She knows her husband is rich but all she wants from him is love and not money. She was offered a job in her husband''s firm in the HR department. However, she refused just to avoid gossip and she loves to maintain a professional stance at work. She clearly believes in keeping her personal and professional life demarcated. If she worked in her husband''spany, she is sure to receive partial treatment and all perks for being the CEO''s wife. However, she always preferred to make an identity of her own. Therefore, she decided to work in anotherpany no matter how much time it took for her tond on a good job. N?velDrama.Org owns this. As the car started, Idri held her hand all the time. Her hands sweat and he wipes her palms with his handkerchief. Idri looked at her and asked "So, how do you feel married woman?" Frieze smirked and questioned back "Did you mean how I feel being married to you?" Idri understood that it was a taunt. He giggled again. "So the answer Ma''am?" He gave a hopeful look eagerly waiting for her reply. With a pause, she replied "It is an eerie feeling. My life is going to change. I am in apletely new city. I don''t know how my future will be. When I was single, I decided my life how it should be. Now that am married, every decision directly or indirectly will be rted to you. I want to be happy and keep you happy too. Hope we stay happy always. I am excited live the life as your wife. I just got luck shining on me." A tear drop fell across her cheek. He was quick to see it and wiped it immediately. He took her into his arms and hugged her tight. Then after a while he said funnily "I may be stinking since am wearing my suit since morning. You must get used to my stinky smell too since you are my wife. It will be your first wife duty." Hearing this, Friezeughed and sent a fist across his arm. He was quick to dodge it. Finally they were home. Frieze finally entered her husband''s home as his newly wedded bride. Chapter 3: A New Home Chapter 3: A New Home Frieze was happy that she has a home that she can finally call hers. It was her husband''s home but she was the Hostess of the manor. She loved the luxury around her. She never thought she would be living a rich life. She belongs to a middle ss family and hoped to live a middle ss life. But, things have changed. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. The decor of the room was changed from manly look (as Idri stayed alone before marrying her) to a more pleasant family house look. All the posters in his room of superheroes were also changed to picture frames of Frieze and him posing together. They were weed by an olderdy in her 50s who has been the most trusted caretaker of the family. She weed both with a broad smile and instructed the driver to send the luggage upstairs to their room. It was already time for dinner but they decided to change their clothes to somethingfortable before heading for dinner. Thedy, Viona showed her way to the room and Idri thanked her and followed his wife. She was impressed by all the decorations in their bedroom and felt emotional seeing all the photographs of them together. Idri''s parents rooms are downstairs near the hall. They would be traveling back to Kiy city the following day as same day traveling was too tiring for the old parents. So they decided to stay back at the hotel and enjoy some moments together. As she was busy admiring the photos, Idri hugged her from the back. He gently kissed on her neck one after the other. Frieze turned towards him and insisted on taking a shower first. "I am super hungry husband." "I am hungry to at this moment my wife." Hearing this, her cheeks flushed red. She avoided eye contact but Idri held her waist tighter pulling her towards his chest. Frieze gave a pleasing look and spoke still blushing but eyes ttering "Let me take a shower, this gown is making me feel uneasy. I want to wear somethingfortable. Pleaasee.." Idri very well knew her drama but let go of her. He nodded and pointed towards the cupboard that had some new clothes for her to wear. She walked towards it to see brand new clothes including lingerie. She felt awkward realising that even though she didn''t sleep with him ever still he knew his size pretty well. Idri knew what she was thinking. He sat on the sofa and stared at her with a smirk. She ignored the re and quickly ran to the bathroom to take a shower. Idri on the other hand went to the guest room to freshen himself up. Chapter 4: Freedom Chapter 4: Freedom First Person Frieze I am finally in a home away from home. Idri''s house seems to have more warmth and love than my own parents house. My parents are wealthy and had a good home but I always felt like they were just too imposing. I never had the freedom but ended up breaking rules to earn my freedom. I never liked it. However, Idri was able to let me be just me. He helped me seek freedom and definitely does not mind all the things I do. He just wants to see me happy and yes of course, I will be taking his advices if at all I feel I need it. Am not that spoilt by the way. As I entered the house, everything was already set. The whole house was beautifully decorated with roses and other flowers if different kind. I know only roses and when ites to the names of other flowers, I am an illiterate. My brain never processed flower names. Duh... Idri is sweet to me. We were introduced by ourmon friend who happened to be his colleague and my school friend. We didn''t meet on a date but in ourmon friend, Simon''s wedding party. Idri was taking care of the guests on behalf of Simon''s family like a brother. I liked it. Very few people turn out to be this true and provide good help. I was fascinated by his kind nature. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. May be attraction. I don''t know. A guy like him can''t be single anyway. He is rich, handsome, humble, gentleman like and I can go on. So, I just yed it cool and controlled myself not to crush on him. I feel so stupid like I really behaved like a teenage girl back then. Nevermind!! Idri was attending to all his guests making sure everyone was happy and stomach full. I eat a lot and maybe the way he looked at me surprised with the amount of food I was eating, I am sure he guessed am a fitness freak and I still don''t gain weight. It was awkward. I stopped eating and I turned to him to ask "Is there a problem? You have been staring at my te and me for quite sometime now. It is giving me awkward vibes." He startedughing in an instant with his dimples Oh My My!!! Control Frieze. Keep your mind out of it. Damn it! Afterughing, he finally spoke "I am shocked with the amount of food you eat. Where does it go? Into your muscles? Nay Nay. I just don''t think so. You must be pooping a lot then. Now I know where does it. Haha" Saying this, he just walked awayughing. What!!!! What did he just tell me? That''s the most gross thing ever said to me by any cute guy. He is dirty. I thought he was a gentleman and so not anymore with a stranger woman. We have been just introduced an hour ago and he already started to talk nonsense. I didn''t feel like eating anymore. This is how I met my husband. Not a great meeting but a gross one. Nevermind again! Chapter 5: Freedom 2 Chapter 5: Freedom 2 First Person Frieze continued... Coming back to my present day as a wife of Idri. He is funny and cute. This is one personality I always wanted in my man. I don''t mind with his super excessive farting scenes and even gis snoring. He is a hard working man. I really love him and I will not stop his smile from going away. It is my promise to him. I will fulfill every wish I can that is within my realm of possibility. Ever since Inded to this house, I already feel less of an alien. The cook, Brook seems to be very skilled at her work. Goodness, I am lucky that I don''t have to cook. I never really cooked but only ate lik really lots. I sat on the table where lunch was served and Idri just came down in a pair of shorts that was so tight. I could already see what is hard inside. So embarassing. At least the t-shirt is long enough to cover it and Brook is in her 50s. She won''t notice it hopefully. I signalled him at his shorts just to tell him about his inappropriate clothing. He just smirked at me. Meanwhile there I was wearing a funky tee with pyjamas. I look cute. He looks like a sex machine. I hate saying that for my husband but that''s what he is at the moment. Brook just entered with an ABC juice which is basicallyposed of apple, beetroot and carrot and handed both of us one ss each Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. "This will give you good energy on your wedding night." What!!! Why is everyone in his house so bold including Idri. Does everyone think of only one thing in his house? I am embarrassed and shy. My cheeks turned red instantly and Idri smirked at me. He gestured me to start eating and even poured some rice onto my te with that wicked smile never going out of his face. Brook giggled and left the room. Am I talking to much to the inner me? Nevermind again again. I am just nervous. My life is changing. "Bon Appetite" Idri whispered in my ears. That was seductress. He is in a weirdo mood today. He just got even more romantic. He nted a kiss on my forehead and started to eat his food. Aww...he makes my heart beat faster than ever. I am going to stop talking to myself and eat now! Chapter 6: Husband Idri Chapter 6: Husband Idri First person Idri: I am a married man now. I have never been this happy. Well, this is the second time. The first time was when she epted my marriage proposal and I realised I will be her man soon. It is like a fairly tale for me. I was pretty nervous when I fell for her and I was on high alert of not letting her know my feelings because I didn''t wanted to get rejected. She is known in the friend circle for rejecting so many guys left and right like rejecting clothes in a shopping mall. I still decided to take a chance but take it slow. I followed the thumb rule: If you can be a girl''s best friend, rest will get easier since you are already close. Well, I know this rule is probably the first time people will hear. This rule was set by none other than Frieze. When I asked her what kind of a guy she is looking for just to analyse if I fit into any of her criteria, she spoke about this particr self made thumb rule. Since then, I really knew how to win her. Thank you for her unintended help and guidance. Hihi! I met Frieze in Simon''s wedding party. Simon is my close buddy. He runs my business with me and the best advisor both in professional as well as personal life. He is my best friend and I really wanted to make his wedding party one of a kind. I was already exhausted with all the arrangements and plus with greeting the guests. But, I was just super excited to see him marry his childhood sweetheart. I wish I found love, the true kind. This was my thought until I met Frieze. I just started getting the vibes of true love the moment I saw her. I know it is stupid but could not help the butterflies in my stomach that kept flying when this cute beauty entered the hall. She wore something like a Cindera dress. I am not great at Women clothing. Please don''t mind me if the description sounds awkward. She was wearing this creamy peach fluffy dress. It was till her knees and I could see her white legs already. She tied half of her hair into a clip and the rest of the curls just dropped through her shoulders till her hips. This reminded me of Rapunzel too. I have my five year old niece to whom I narrate these stories because she likes them and probably that''s how I remember all the Disney Princesses. Talking about Disney Princess, this particr woman was my disney princess. I know I broke up a year ago and this probably be a rebound love. It could also be for the sense of wild sex. Ever since I broke up, I have been making love to myself. I know it sounds creepy. Likewise!!! But I really need to know this woman. I have seen beautiful women but she has the hint of cuteness with her dimple. She has a baby face that is making her look like a sixteen year old girl. Oh boy, I hope she is not that young. She will end up calling me an uncle once she realises I am 33 years old. I want to be her man and definitely not her uncle. She walked up to Simon on the stage who was standing alongside his bride. I quickly walked upto the stage too aftering back to my senses and overthinking spree. Simon introduced her to his bride but they already knew each other well. Was I the only stranger or the odd one out among we four standing on the stage. Nevermind! It was finally my turn to be introduced by Simon. Bingo! She looked at me with a sweet smile and sweetly said "It is nice to meet you Idri. The arrangements are really interesting." She speaks so sweet and elegant. She also looks innocent from close. She is sweeter than honey for sure. I have a feeling I will go crazy. I am already crushing on her for rebound or sex. I am really not sure at the moment but I need to make my progress sooner orter. I greeted her back and told her to enjoy the ambience and food being served. I was stammering. Simon gives me a naughty look. I got busted. He knows what I am thinking. This is embarassing. I quickly made the excuse of checking out the guests if they need anything and gave ast nce at her. I ignored everybody else on the stage. I just want to look at her. That is all. She was eating at a corner table. She seems to eat a lot. Her body looks fit though. She must be a fitness freak who gets all the overly eaten food converted to energy. If that is not the case, her body must be rejecting this extra food with a poop tank. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Oh Gosh! Did I just mention about her poop. That is themest thing a man would talk to a beautiful cute woman like her. This is not even close to flirting. I am really messing things here. She looks annoyed at me already. She can poop how much ever she wants. Why do I have to mention that. I mean she can eat how much ever she wants. I dered her fitness freak and not a poop machine. Oh my God! "I will check out if the rest of the guests need anything. Please enjoy your meal." I said and walked away from her as far as I could. She will not talk to me. In fact, she must be judging me as a weirdo. Chapter 7: Husband Idri Contd Chapter 7: Husband Idri Contd Hard work always pays is my motto in life. I did work pretty hard to gain her trust and probably a good opinion. I sent her a friend request in Facebook and apologized for being creepy at the party the other day. I was d she took it like a sport and epted my apology. She wasughing too and I am sure she indeed judged me as a weirdo. Then, as usual, I pinged her in Messenger and we started talking. I felt like a college student at that moment trying to know this girl andmunicating with her often so that she remembers me. Well, I did happen to ask Simon about her after a few weeks once he was back from honeymoon. His wife gave me better details than Simon since he was too busy teasing me with that ugly smirk of his. As few months past, Frieze and I became quite close friends talking about life. You know when you start talking about life and your personal struggles, you know that you have already won her trust. This is exactly what I wanted and the best part was by next year she already started to call me her bestie. I did have to fly from city to city and could not meet her at least a week but I did keep the conversation always flowing over text or call. I was getting attached to her and the fact that she understands my thoughts well really helped me I coping up with telling her my opinion on several things. I think the ¡®take it slow¡¯ is working wonders for me. I have never been this patient with a girl while the girl is freaking clueless about my intentions towards her. I am at that stage of our friendship now that even if she does not ept me as her husband, I will still be the friend in need always. Gosh! Did I mention ¡®husband¡¯? Am I really this serious about her? I mean I know her since more than a year now but I am still not sure if I can see her as a life partner. I am d we both are friends. We both share a lot of things with each other and yes, every time there is a holiday nned with Simon and Teressa (his wife if I didn¡¯t mention before), Frieze joins in along with me. I am d that Simon is actually helping me spend time with her to know her well and kicks me out of my busy schedule at work. It is not easy to run a business especially when you are a giant in the IT industry. 5 months before the wedding: Frieze and I have been friends since two years now already. I decided to take the next move of asking her out as a date and not as a friend anymore. I had butterflies in my stomach. I did break up three years back and I was sure by now that it was not a rebound. I am in love with this cute tiny woman. She makes meugh even during the stressful times. She makes me do all types of kiddo activities that I never thought I would do at 35 years of age. You heard it right. I am turning 35 years tomorrow and it is high time I get settled. The only person I want to settle with is this woman-child. She makes me feel young when she is around me. I can talk things out with her like I never did even with my ex-girlfriend. My ex-girlfriend was never so close to me and maybe that is the reason why I was able to move on pretty quick. I would not like to see her again anyway. I am looking forward to a life with Frieze now and I want to cherish every moment with her all my life. I threw a party with a few friends. I didn¡¯t want a crowd since Frieze does not like crowded ces and I wanted least people to actually able to spend time with her. Even grab an opportunity to propose her. The teen in me is kicking in. I was very nervous at the party. But at the same time I knew I had to do this. It was fine if she rejected me at the moment. I can still wait for her until the day she finally epts me. I took her to the balcony where there was no one. She wore a ck bodycon dress and I have been already giving murderous looks to any man who were checking her out. She is just mine and I so know it for sure. At the balcony, she was all smiling and happy. She was teasing me as the birthday kid. The kid in me was reborn the moment she entered my life and it just makes life so joyful than ever. The intense and life changing moment was finally here. I spoke my heart out with expecting eyes. I was trying not to be an imposter but I would be sad to hear the sentences leading to a rejection from her mouth though. She startedughing the moment I was done speaking in a single breath. I wonder if I was being the same weirdo as I was when I met her two years ago for the first time. I don¡¯t want to remember that scene at all. I would very well erase and redo the same scene in an upgraded handsome style. Arghhh! Nevermind!! Still waiting for her reply and she is just staring at me and smiling. I cannot read her mind for the first time in these two years. I am feeling dizzy already. Her silence is too much for me to tolerate. I am growing impatient and cannot wait any longer. I asked her after a pause ¡°would you like to reply me please. I am going crazy like it is an interview and all am waiting is for being epted as the husband of yours. Am I speaking so much. I should stop overtalking I understand¡­.¡± Just at that instant, she moved forward and kissed me on my lips. The feeling at the moment was something I never felt before. She is a bad kisser but I was happy that I can help her get some experience there. The soft warm lips on mine created magic. I was shivering in my legs but I grabbed her quickly from the waist and wanted to taste her even more. It was a long wait for this. She finally epted me as her boyfriend. I don¡¯t want to stay a boyfriend for long but marry her quickly as early as I could.This is from N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 8: Finally, Married Chapter 8: Finally, Married We dated only for five months until we got married. Today, frieze as my wife sits right next to me having dinner. I call it a wedding date. She is shy and calm. I know she is just trying to analyze her life all this time. She must be feeling the changes that came about in these two and a half years. I am so lucky to have her. Her pink lips are the cutest I have ever seen. She is a cute doll and I am d she is mine. I will be the best husband for her and fulfill all her wishes. I could never let go of the smile that I go crazy about. She is eating less today. She must be conscious about me staring at her. She looks so beautiful and my life is already heavenly. I still cannot believe I married the girl of my dreams. We will make a good life together. I wanted to give her some privacy in our new bedroom and therefore, I went ahead to take a shower in the guest room. I did remember to pick a few clothes on my way to the guest room but I forgot to take a pair of track pants or even a normal pant for that matter. The only thing I carried was an underwear that was pretty sticking to my body and the t-shirt was extremely loose. At least it covered my hard wood log under the boxers. By the time I returned to our bedroom to grab a track pant, Frieze already closed the door from behind and must have entered the bathroom already. Probably that is why she did not hear me knocking at the door. I me her to show up this way in front of Mrs. Brook. I am fine in front of Frieze since she has already seen me and my everything. She must be really getting the awkward vibes from me as I am all ready to pull her into the bed and make love with her all night. I am not being a pervert. I am just being a romantic husband here trying to make his wife happy. By tomorrow, we will be receiving our marriage certificate and all the legal procedures will be over. The hectic period will be finally over. A wedding is tiresome. So many arrangements and not just that, it is the time where your management skills are actually tested. From guests to decorations, from food to clothing, from venue till the time when you can actually be at home wearing just boxers in front of your wife, this is a hectic journey. I am free and can finally rest. I was particr about taking the responsibilities of the whole wedding as I am really bad at trusting people especially when ites to something important exclusively rted to me. In fact, the only person with whom I shared all the whereabouts about the wedding ns is with Frieze. Simon was always there practically and his wife indeed helped Frieze out with all her makeup, clothing and she was her bridesmaid. Teressa and Simon were neighbors as kids until Simon¡¯s family moved to Kiy City. They did not study in the same school though. Simon was in Frieze¡¯s school. They were actually ssmates for as long as thirteen years. How did Simon did not fall for her after knowing her for so long? Well I am d he did not. She is meant to be with me. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Overconfidence at its powerful Zenith point! Frieze knew Teressa as Simon¡¯s girlfriend back there in school. In fact, she was helping him send a few gifts to Teressa on Simon¡¯s behalf including love letters. Her parents are pretty strict and she could not mention about having a boyfriend while she was in school. Her parents were against puppy love as they always refer to it that way. I have been single most of my life until my ex-girlfriend got me drunk and proposed me. I thought to give her a chance. She was a pretty woman but she even loved my money. After I became a sessful entrepreneur, she kept pestering me in my neighborhood. In fact, she even rented a house near my apartment and kepting to my dwelling with all sorts of delicious food. Her name was Dorisa and I called her Dor. She was tall but a few inches shorter than me. She had a look of a matured woman and not like Frieze. Frieze has an attractive baby face and that really makes her look innocent but much prettier unlike Dori who was always full of makeup. To top it all, I never saw Dori without makeup. I remember taking her with me for a three-days business trip and we were in the same room together. She even slept withplete makeup during those nights. I was too engrossed with my meetings and little irritated with her attention seeking behavior. She was stubborn toe with me to this trip but I could not promise her about giving her time during these three days. She agreed to it and took her along with me. I even gave her a credit card to keep herself busy with shopping. She kept bothering me a lot like taking away myptop while I was preparing the cost-data. I was frustrated. The fact was she was this clingy all the time really made me angry at her and kept me away from her. She was annoyed that I did not pay much heed to her in the trip. I mentioned her already before the trip that I would not have time. She never learnt to give me my personal space. After the trip, we did not talk much. I got busier with the meetings as we tried to scale up and open a newpany branch in B city. It was destined for me toe to B city where I met my wife. Dori just texted me while Inded it B city saying ¡°I am dumping you. I am not important to you but all you care about is business. We are over.¡± I had no time for her drama. I knew this was just a trick and expected me to run back to her. I just cannot. If this business in this city does not happen, I may lose millions. I was irritated and I have tolerated her drama enough in this one year. I cannot do it any longer. I replied her ¡®Okay¡¯ and that is how we broke up. She moved to another city about which I have no idea to pursue a career in fashion designing. This is the only information I found out after I returned but I really did not want to be with her. It was more like a formality as she was my girlfriend and had to do all the boyfriend duties. But, it was enough. I was not happy. I wanted someone to respect my personal space and she was just not that kind of a woman. I felt so free and rxed after she walked out my life to be honest. Frieze is my life and she is the one I want to concentrate on, for the rest of my life. Chapter 9: A Good Night Sleep Chapter 9: A Good Night Sleep Idri and Frieze moved to their bedroom after dinner. It was the moment of their life that they finally married their true love. Not everyone is lucky to marry the person they love. Idri made sure he does but he did it in a slow pace. They removed all the roses and choctes from the bed, cleared all the mess of clothes around them. They did not realize that they were so hungry that they threw everything around the room the moment they entered the first time they entered. They both cuddled each other to bed and kissed passionately. He had an important meeting to attend with an American client so he could not stay longer with her while she was sound asleep. He kissed her hands and walked out of the room to his study room. As he waited to join the meeting, he received a call from a mysterious unknown number. There were eleven miscalls from that number and he did not even get time to nce at his phone. He called back to the number just to find a drunk Dori talking on the phone. Before Idri could hung up, Dori started speaking ¡°Hello, my love. I heard you got married? What did you see in her that you ignore me and left me all alone? I was always with you but I know you ignored me for her. You are a scoundrel. You ditched me and now I know why you never had time for me.¡± Idri replied to her ¡°What I had for you was not love but attraction. What I have for her is pure love and not attraction. Good Night.¡± He hung up without hearing anything from her and blocked the number. He wondered where she was and why was she so drunk. He was concerned about her safety but as the meeting time sshed on the screen, he simply decided to let go worrying about her. ¡°I am a married man now and nothing from the past cane between me and my beloved wife.¡± He said to himself. He confidently switched on hisptop camera and joined the meeting. Still in shorts, he remembered Frieze¡¯s face with that shocked expression at the dining hall and started tough. ¡°Mr. Idri, why are youughing. Is there something wrong?¡± Idri cleared his throat, ¡°Nothing Mr. Kane. I just remembered a joke. Anyways, how have you been? I am sorry I had to dy the discussions for the project for quite some time due to my wedding.¡± ¡°Congrattions. I can understand. The wedding time is the most special time for every couple and the wedding night too for every man.¡± He smirked at him. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Mr. Kane was of his father¡¯s age and hearing this statement from an elderly person, he blushed and Mr. Kane could see it on his face. Just to avoid the awkward situation, Idri again cleared his throat for the second time and decided to get to business so that he could go back quickly to his bedroom. He was proposing to start a new investment n by opening a new shopping center in the heart of the city. This would help him give a free tform to market his electronic goods and services that hispany provides. He had this n from a long time but he chose his wedding as his priority. He was afraid that before he proposes her, she would already be engaged to someone as she was a sweetheart that any guy would dream of. To top it all, Frieze had ns to go abroad which he did not wanted. She wanted to start working overseas and this would mean he could rarely meet her. He promised her to give her a life of freedom although she will be married and she can continue to aspire for a better career but requested her to not go far away from him. The shopping center would be in her name as a gift from his side. Therefore, he was particr about finalizing the business operations and ns after the wedding ceremonies. Frieze although not an interior designer, she always wanted to design a house. The entire renovation of Idri¡¯s house was done as per Frieze¡¯s ideas and so, he would do the same for the uing shopping center too. By the time the meeting was over, it was already dawn. He is tired and sleepy. He dragged himself to the bed and slept. He pulled Frieze closer who was sound asleep. Ast look at her and he dug his head into her breast giving her a small kiss in her neck. Frieze was alert and awake. She smiled at him, gave him a kiss on his lips and hugged him indicating him to sleep. They were sound asleep in each other¡¯s arms until afternoon. Chapter 10: Marriage Office Bureau Chapter 10: Marriage Office Bureau First Person Frieze I hate waking up early morning. I love sleeping tillter afternoon. The only time I would like to wake up in the morning is probably when I start going for work. But, before that I will sleep whole heartily until I am satisfied. This day, I could understand it is important. Idri and I need to have the marriage license in hand just to legally bind each other as a married couple. I hardly understand these legal procedures. I had to submit so many government IDs of mine, I mean a photocopy of each and am carrying a file of the originals as Idri instructed me to. The procedure is quite long and people actually wait in long queues to receive the certificate. Sometimes, I have also heard that it takes two to three days to by the time the document is verified. Phew!! It is a lot of work indeed. I am sitting in one of the benches outside the stamp office. Idri is busy running from one corner of the building to another. He could very well ask his assistant to take care of all the procedure but he has massive trust issues. I wish Simon was here. He can help him. They are sote. Even his parents did not arrive yet. They reached Kay city early in the morning and I am sure they are tired. Hence, the dy. Idri could have waited at the same time for one more day. He is just impatient. He did not want to waste time in legal procedure. In fact, he already nned for an advanced honeymoon next week. I insisted upon spending time with his parents, he refused. He wants me to give all my time to him first. I had no idea that a son would get all possessive of me giving time to his parents even. Men are different types of humans in today¡¯s world. I really do not understand. I am just going with the flow. Duh! Right after a few minutes of self-talk, I saw two Porsche being parked outside the building. I am guessing there is Simon and Teressa in one and most probably in the other, it could be Idri¡¯s parents. My phone started ringing. It was mommy. Hi Mommy, how are you? Hey my little girl, what have you been doing? My mommy always had different names to address me every time. This is very typical of her and daddy is worst. Trust me. Mommy, I am at the office of the licensor for the marriage certificate. I am not sure about the technical word of such ces but hope you understood what I meant. How is daddy? Daddy is standing right behind me squeezing my shoulders to let me talk to you. ¡°Hey sugary ind! Daddy is right here.¡± See I told you daddy is worst at calling me by names. I startedining ¡°I have been sitting here in this humid weather all this time. The registrar is simply making Idri run. Why does it so much time? To top it all, Idri could have asked his assistant or Simon to take care of things and he would have had just sat with me here. At least I would not get bored.¡± I pouted at the disappointed scene. Daddy on the other side ¡°Do not worry pink pumpkin, this experiencees only once in a lifetime. Just experience this day for the license. The final result will be rewarding. We also experienced it once and even if we remarry again, we will still not experience the same ugly moment at the registrar office again.¡± Mommy hits her husband¡¯s abdomen with her elbow. I could imagine with that ¡°yaks ouch¡±ing over the phone. Mommy and Daddy, I will hang up now. Idri¡¯s parents are here and Simon too. I may be called inside the office anytime. I will call you once this nightmare is over. With this I hung up, I could already see Idri¡¯s parents walking towards me. Teresa came running and hugged me tight. Simon followed with a Hi-five. I am getting along well with her and she is my only friend in this city. We both feel it because both are from the same city and left the city to be with the man of their lives. She supports me well. Idri¡¯s mother is also nice to me. I could already tell she is fond of me. When I met her for the first time in her house, Idri brought me here to his home for a day to meet his parents. His parents, David and Rose were very excited to see me. They gave me a warm wee. Rose could not stop staring at me and she felt I was really very cute. Looking at my young looks, she could not believe that I was twenty-eight years old. She actually thought I was some twenty and Idri tried to marry someone who is more than ten years younger than him. This was funny. I still remember how Idri was frowning at his mother for speaking that way to embarrass his own son. This was more like it. She definitely loves me more now aspared to her son. Hahaha¡­ Rose walked me up to the living room while David and Idri sat opposite us. David asked a few serious questions like my job, education and my family background. It was obvious for a parent to be concerned and they had to make sure that they were marrying the right girl. I was working as an HR recruitment lead in one of the IT firms in B city. I was happy to speak of it. Rose on the other side, held my hand motivating me to speak more and eventually my nervousness was gone. Then they started talking about the good and bad habits of their son. Rose also suggested to ask her for tips in case I would need some to tame a husband. David gave a devilishugh at his wife and the exchange looked so beautiful. I could imagine being in the same state when we both grow old. Idri was on the other hand blushing. This is the first time he has brought a girl home. I am aware of his past rtionship with Dori and I indeed appreciated the fact that he was transparent about the truth. Dori and Idri never had the rtionship which we had. We had this attachment and emotional connection which he never felt with Dori. He has moved on easily and really quick. I appreciate how he took his advancements towards me that I did not feel any pressure from his side. In fact, he was that best friend of mine with whom I was able to share everything. I am lucky that we are discussing on our wedding today with my best friend¡¯sN?velDrama.Org owns this. parents. Marrying a best friend is the biggest gift ever because I strongly believe that friendship is very important in a rtionship. Chapter 11: Marriage Certificate Finally Chapter 11: Marriage Certificate Finally Rose stood close to me and Teresa stood on the other side. David approached me and asked ¡°Are you tired already? I would say you are still lucky to have a bench to sit on. Rose did not have any and in fact, it was not even a building like this. This particr ce was just a small wooden house thirty-five years ago.¡± Rose giggled and added ¡°I was so mad at David for no reason. I was too young to have patience. I feel nostalgicing here. I remember my old times as I see Idri now running. You father inw ran too in a simr way from person to person to get all the formalities done.¡± Simon interrupted to ask about Idri ¡°Where is Idri? I offered him help but this guy is just too stubborn to seek help. I will go look for him. You all can wait for us here.¡± They all sat in the bench. David walked to the juice counter and brought some juice bottles for all of us. He is a family man for sure. After a few minutester, I asked David and Rose ¡°Are you both tired? It must have been a real rush today morning. I am sorry for the inconvenience.¡± David was quick to reply, ¡°Do not worry. We have anyways celebrated our honeymoon in B city. It was rxing and a good stress buster from the hectic wedding spree.¡± Oh My Goodness. David is too direct to speak. My cheeks are red hearing what he said. Rose stopped him midway, ¡°David is David. He just says whatever he has to speak. Do not embarrass me David in front of young women here.¡± I just smiled at them and looked here and there just to avoid the awkward scenario. I could already see Rose and David kissing. Idri and I are pretty decent I would say. I have a feeling I will get spoilt if I see such intimate scenes right in front of my eyes. Teresa was busy drinking her juice and stalking people in social media. She was out of this world and did not even care what just happened. I am stuck sitting here awkward. Did they stop kissing already? Phew! What a relief. Where is Idri now¡­ I wondered. Right then, Simon and Idri walks up to us. Hugs Rose and David and greets Teresa. Simon stood next to Teresa and rested his hand on her shoulder. Simon turned to Teresa ¡°Did you miss me?¡± Rose sent an evil smile across Simon and Teresa pouted at Simon indirectly demanding a kiss. Idri called my name and spoke ¡°We need to get the signatures done. Shall we go inside love?¡± Arrghh.. Is this my day of awkwardness? Why is everyone so cheesy and bold. Everyone is a head over heels love machine. I am having the tendency to be the same. I mean I am afraid I will be shameless too. No offense. Idri held my hand and walked me inside the office while the two other romantic couples followed us. We signed the papers and the certificate was ready in no time. David and Rose signed as the parents. Teresa and Simon signed as witness to this marriage. My parents could not travel to Kay city as mommy has not been doing well with her cardiovascr condition. Doctor strictly asked her to rest as much as possible at least for a certain period of time. Hence, even for the marriage arrangements, I was taking care of everything along with Idri. I did not want to pressurize them for any wedding rted activities. However, I did keep them informed about every advancement and even took suggestions for my wedding dress and decorations. The wedding nner was called in at home since mommy had to be home so that she can choose a theme along with daddy for the wedding. I did not ask daddy for opinion on my wedding gown as I never liked his choice and even my mommy never did. Someone truly said that men do not really have a good taste to women dresses. Idri too have no sense of women dress. So, I could only turn to Rose and my mommy. Rose gave the full choice making to my mommy as I was rightfully hers. I called the designer too at home for my mommy to select the gown and I must say she is beauty. She just selected the best wedding gown ever for me. Rose was also mesmerized how the wedding gown looked at me. The choice of makeup and heels went to Rose and Teresa was of course booked to be my bridesmaid. The men, on the other hand, were in Idri¡¯s team. David helped him with the guests nning while Simon took care of the payments. The whole wedding was arranged well. Now, that we have got the marriage license and legally we are husband-wife, it is the final activity we had toplete. We can finally go on our honeymoon. I wonder where is he taking me. He is not saying a word about it. I hate surprises. My head aches with the word surprise! Everyone in the office congratted us. We finally decided to go out and celebrate at a lunch get together. I was in a mood to eat something Chinese but never mind. I will be fine eating anything that fills my tummy. I am super hungry after waiting for this long. We all headed to the famous restaurant, Mr. Foody that serves cuisines from across the world. Idri booked a family table and all started discussing over the food they would like to eat. Why is everyone taking so much time to discuss on the food? Just order anything. All food gets mixed in the gut anyway and nobody could recognize which dish it is getting digested inside of you. Please be quick. I will faint out of starvation. I am getting restless. I often get such mood swings when I am hungry. I cannot bear hunger and I do understand the pain of small poor children who are fighting against hunger. I used to donate a part of my sry to an NGO (non-governmental organization) that is performing charity services to help families fighting with hunger. Maybe once I start earning again, I will resume my donation to this organization. Food finally arrived and I was ready with a spoon, knife and fork to eat whatever I could grab on the table. Idri knew my eating habits from the very first time he met me. We all ate silently. I could see everyone was hungry. They are eating faster than me like the food in front of them would vanish at any moment. They just seemed to be nice people being in public ce and behaved so well unlike me. I should learn to be calm too if not bold romantic like them. Time to Eat!!!Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 12: Wild Idri Chapter 12: Wild Idri We reached home. Simon and Teresa went back to their house while Idri¡¯s parents were resting in their room for a good sleep. All of us were exhausted and sleepy. It was a long day and ate afternoon already. I walked towards the cupboard to pick somefortable clothes and even find a pair for Idri. Idri insisted up on not to carry much of my clothes to Kay city. There were luggage weight restrictions and I knew that the amount I will be paying at the airport will definitely be higher than the cost of the clothes in the luggage. Maybe I could bring them in batches eventually. Even though we were traveling in his private ne, the airport authority will still not allow too many luggages per passenger although his ne had the capacity to hold the weight. So, I carried only a few clothes but all my precious items including ny educational certificates. I also carried some of my books that were my all time favourite. My shoes were something I could definitely not leave behind either. I have a shoe size of only 2.5 and I would be requesting shoemakers to make me a pair that I like sincepanies do not manufacture shoes of this particr size under adult section. I definitely don''t want to go to a kid''s shoe section. That would be really embarrassing. Above all, I do need to pay extra making charges for my shoes and hence, my shoe collection is unique and one of it''s kind. I was sessful in convincing Idri to let me take my shoes at least with me. He could not say no to my puppy face drama and little he understood that it was drama. Even if he refused, I would had still carried them anyway. I was just trying to be at peace with my soon going to be husband at that time you know. All my shoes are still in the luggage and hopefully tomorrow I will be free to sort them in the shelf sessfully. Before I could even arrive at his house, the moment I opened his cupboard, I already saw brand new clothes for me that were meant to be worn outside and at home. They were separated in different sections. He even bought some lingerie and I am surprised how he knew my size this perfect. He was already making me fall for him over again. He knows so much about me and takes care of my well being. As I started searching through the clothes, something unexpected happened. A shirtless Idri hugged me from behind. I could already feel his bare chest against my back. I was shocked and blushing. I was just so shy. It is not the first time that I have seen him shirtless but I don''t know why I feel butterflies in my stomach. He held my waist and kissed the back of my neck passionately. It felt so good. He reached for my chain at the back of my dress. He quickly removed my dress and I was left with my lingerie. I turned towards him and kissed him on his warm lips that were just kissing my back a while ago. His tongue was inside my mouth and mine inside his. As he continued to kiss me, my hands travelled down his pants. I unbuttoned it and unzipped the chain. He allowed his pair of jeans to sleep through and threw them out of sight. He was now with his boxers which he opened too and flipped it open. I was even more shy now to see my husband stripping right in front of me. I saw his hard stick already aiming at me. He pulled me close towards him and the towel I had in my hand was already fallen on the ground. He slowly took one of my hand that I was hold behind his neck as I kissed towards his hard dick. I held it and rubbed it. He took my bra off me and as my chest was exposed, he started kissing my breasts. I left a moan. He slowly picked me up and ced me on the bed carefully. He even removed my bottom, thest thing I had on me. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. The next moment he was on top of me kissing me everywhere. He tasted me everywhere and my screams got louder. If someone heard me outside, I don''t care at the moment because I can''t control myself. Idri took out a condom from the drawer. He had several boxes of them. Last time I checked the drawers, I didn''t see these. Don''t tell me he has started to stalk condoms in our bedroom. Idri is already at a loose. I did not see this side of him before. So passionate and he does it with so much uracy. The next moment, he was inside me. He was soft and the thrust got wilder. It was my first time that I experienced it. I finally gave in my virginity to the man I love. We were panting once we were done. He lay next to me and extended his hand to hug me. I turned to look at him and he smiled at me. "Hope you enjoyed it. We will do this often." Idri spoke looking right into my eyes. I blushed and dig my face into his chest. He hugged me and the next moment, we were sound asleep tired and naked. He was so wild and so passionate. He just made me feel so good that I could not help enjoy every moment. Hearing my moans, he was getting much more motivated than ever. I would die a happy life for sure. Chapter 13: My First Time Chapter 13: My First Time Idri first person I wanted to give my woman the pleasure of the first night. But, I saw her already so drowsy with all the ceremonies and traveling, I did not wanted to trouble her though it was nearly impossible to make my hard stick understand. As I was about to sleep with her, it was more difficult to control. She was already asleep in my arms with a smile on her face. She looks even more beautiful in her sleep. I married an angel. I did not want to disturb her in her sleep. She was wearing shorts and all I could manage was to keep pressing my hardness to her bottom. I was suffering but I still had to keep my cool out of respect. I would not do anything without her permission or consent even though she is mywful wife. Thank God I called in the meeting with Mr. Kane. This move should give me some relief. I am sure Frieze noticed ny hardness inside my boxers. I could not control any longer. She was just close to me and my dick was calling for her. I quickly stood up to walk to my study. I still had an hour for the meeting. I went to the washroom of my study room though it is smaller than my bedroom''s bathroom, it was good enough to make me do my stuff. I ran towards the washroom and quickly turned on the cold shower making me feel better. I am a virgin myself. I never felt it hard when Dori was around. Frieze is giving me vulgar vibes... This is from N?velDrama.Org. I could already imagine her hitting me again and again if I happen to tell this right in front of her. She is a decent girl. This is what I liked about her. She was not like girls of Dori kind who was all ready to fall in bed without amitment. I am old school variant. I like to fall in love and get all sexual only when my love bes my wife. I love to respect such women and she is one of a kind. I did not want to rob her off her innocence. She does not even know how to kiss but I am all here to teach her everything. This is what a husband must do and spoil her as much as I can. She is the shy types and I don''t mind her taking time out of herfort zone to learn to be a pro if you know what I mean. After I came out of the shower, I sat in front of nyptop. Her face was just right in front of my eyes. The next moment I saw an unknown number and when I heard Dori''s word, I was somewhat irritated. I was worried to some extent as she sounded drunk but I could not care less. Mr. Kane logged in and joined the meeting. It was my time for business and I am sure Frieze will be happy doing all the interior selection for me for the shopping center. After we head home with our marriage certificate, I could not control. The dick in my was kicking hard. Before she sleep again, I need to get into her. She is a new version of sleeping beauty. I just did wanted to stay a virgin anymore nor I wanted her to stay one now that we are a legal couple. I had no idea her moans would sound so sexy. It was driving me crazy and she was pushing me more inside her as I was giving the pleasure of her life. I was just going crazy. It was a good idea from Simon for reminding me of stocking condoms right next to the bed. He is my brother from another mother. He knows me so well. I waited for almost two and a half years for this day when I would finally make her mine and give her the right to my mind, body and soul. I am thankful to Simon for stalking the condoms up for me in no time. It was because of me that he had toe to my house and keep the boxes in the drawer that got himte to the bureau office. It was a secret between brothers that no one has to know. Frieze took it well slowly and calm. I am not sure if she knew it was my first time too. I was not perfect but I tried to do my best. With practice, any man could get perfect with it. However, the way she moaned every time and louder it got, I could already feel how much she was pleasurized. Well done Idri. You did not seem that bad at first attempt. How I wish I could get more of it. But, she was already exhausted and I was too. She slept in my arms and I held her protectively. I wanted to ask her if she liked what she saw when I just striped myself off but I was afraid she would just run away blushing. She alreadyints about my boldments on her. I rather not make her feel awkward and ruin our first time. We were both happy. I loved the way she hugged me like a child and slept off. I could finally sleep in peace with love. I am already cherishing every moment of my life with Frieze. Destiny finally brought us together and I will celebrate every moment. Chapter 14: Few Months Later Chapter 14: Few Months Later Frieze and Idri werepiling all their pictures into different albums. The wedding album had all the wedding pictures including the preparation times, the honeymoon album had all the honeymoon picture including a few intimate ones that they were sure to hide it from the world and show only the decent kind. There was a seperate album, almost empty that wasbelled as ''being married'' where they decided to add all the memories they had so far and would eventually have in the future. If at all the album gets filled, they would create a part two version of the same. Their married life was going smooth until the day when Idri met Mr. Kane''s daughter. Mr. Kane had been working with Idri and his father, David from years. It has been his seventeenth year at his service to this family. All the important business information would go through him upon Simon and Idri''s approval. The shopping center was built right next to a public park. Thend was owned by a small family who ran a garage for years in that area. The family was poor. When Simon and Idri offered them a handsome settlement opportunity on the countryside with a house of their own and a million dor for a living. This would make them a life and hence, the agreement was quick. Mr. Kane helped process all the legal and financial procedure for this project once everything was settled. The construction is already half way and the building should be ready by next year. Idri and Frieze has been married since six months now. He wanted to show the site to her and tell her about the project. She has been working as an HR recruiter in ABX Corporations that deals with automobile industry. Thepany has been doing well with foreign investors and they have several branches across the globe. The global status of thepany had mainlye in with the human resources that they have in thepany. The CEO is proud of his employees and he takes pride in the aplishments that his employees make. It was not easy for her to get through but she had tried several times. Finally, in her third attempt in her third month of arrival to Kay City that she finally got a job in the HR department. She is happy with her new job and aspires to climb higher in thispany. She is already being doing great in getting the best resources so far with her ability to analyse candidates and their abilities. Since she was an experienced HR already, she managed to join the senior employees team right from the beginning. Idri requested her to join hispany even before signing the offer letter, but she refused. Maybe eventually she would join as she acquires more experience. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. She loves her job but weekdays due to the nine hour shift, she could hardly meet Idri during lunch period. Weekdays is the only time that they manage to break free from office work and spend the daytime together. Just as they reached the site, Frieze was exined everything on the way. Mr. Kane greeted her politely and showed her around. Idri followed silently listening to him keenly and added additional details for Frieze whenever required. As they were done with the exnation, a girl in a pink dress entered and hugged Mr. Kane. Idri was quick to recognise her and his head was in turmoil when he heard her call Mr. Kane "Daddy". She was none other than Dori. Did she go under the knife to cut a few extra fat off her face. She looks more beautiful now and more slim. Dori quickly rushed to Idri and hugged him before he could even react. Frieze looked at Idri for an exnation. Mr. Kane walked forward and spoke "Dori, my dear daughter, your ex-boyfriend is married now and his beautiful wife is right here. You should stop being this close and be more respectful." He turned to Frieze to apologise who did not look so happy as Dori continued to hold her husband and not releasing him. Frieze spoke "I think we should be going now. Nice to meet you Dori. Let''s go Idri." Idri released her hands off him by a jerk and nodded good bye to Kane. They both left. Mr. Kane and Dori started talking about the project details. Frieze on the other hand felt sad. Idri could already notice. "Hey, I am sorry. I had no idea that Dori is his daughter. She never mentioned and he never did too." "It is ok. I am not using you of anything. I just hated the sight of Dori touching you and you did not protest." "I was too shocked at the moment." She continued to walk to the car without paying a heed to whatever he said. He quickly grabbed her by her arm. He kissed her until she felt good and hugged him back. She was no more upset but reminded him to stay away from her as she did not like her getting so close to her husband. She would not even know how to fight for her man and prefer to just sit in some corner hurt. Idri drove her to her favorite restaurant that served the tastiest Chinese cuisine. As she was upset, she got into the tendency to eat more. Food is something that changes her mood to a happy one. Even Idri could never make her this joyful as he has seen her when she sees yummy food in front of her. They chatted all the time as she started talking about her ideas for the shopping center while Idri listened to her intently improvising few of her ideas. They would be busy listing down all the ns over the next six months where they finally n to inaugurate the mall. He has been already nning for the legal proceedings with Simon. Since Simon has a share too in thend, a part of the profit or revenue will alsond in for Teresa. Chapter 15: The Idea of Dori Chapter 15: The Idea of Dori Dori first person Idri did not even care to look for me when I left the city. I thought after I leave the city, I will be able to grab his attention. But, my nned failed. I could not even imagine him not financing my fashion designer boutique. I had to ask money from my father at thest moment. Arghh.. This is so annoying. I even tried to ckmail him with a text message saying we are over. What he did the next moment was unexpected. He just took the text message seriously and epted it without even a please to give him one chance. I think it was my fault that I became so impulsive. Out of impulsiveness, I gave him what he wanted. A breakup!!! He finally tried to get to rid of me. We broke up over that fake text from me. I thought I was important to him but I was not. What did he see in that girl? She was just beautiful not hot. Her breasts size is not even like mine. It is shaped and huge that any man would enjoy ying with it like my assistant designer. I am not dating him. He is just a friend whom I enjoy getting benefits from. Idri was not even a good kisser. His money was the only thing that kept me close to him. I am not jealous of his wife that she has Idri. But, I am jealous of the fact that the money is hers and so damn legally. He is even building a shopping center in her name with she being the owner. Would he be doing the same if I was married to him. She just got lucky and my own mistakes led me to a fall. Since I am back in the city and my assistant is out there to look after my boutique, I shouldy my focus in separating them before he legally hands over the authority of the shopping center to his current wife. Once they are divorced, I could quickly marry him and grab the authority on the shopping center. I must be quick. I don''t care if my father is willing to help me. It was his idea to send me off since he did not want his job to be at stake for me. My father never understood me. However, I must start executing my n to separate them. I know Idri missed me. When I hugged him, he did not struggle to push me away. I know he still has feelings for me. All I need is to ignite it and make him believe that his feelings for me are true. As for Frieze, she looked too weak and stupid toe my way. I must first get Idri talking to me and propose a friendship. I called him immediately, Hi Idri, do you recognise my voice? What do you want? Idri was already angry but I had to keep my cool. I am not sure how I offended you but if you did mind about my hug today, I am really sorry. I sincerely apologize for my mistake. "Don''t touch me without my permission or my wife''s permission from next time. Hope you have grown sensible enough by now." Idri became more sensible than me. A married man''s warning to his ex- girlfriend. This sounds so dramatic. I will not. I promise. I did not mean to break up with you. I thought you loved me and woulde looking for me while I was gone. You did not bother to even contact me. I have been waiting all this time. Now that you are married, I should know and ept my faith. She paused for a moment waiting to hear Idri responding to her confession. "I have moved on and you should move on too. You left and it was your fault. I cannot help you correct it now." We can still be friends right? I asked with curiosity. Idri was quick to agree. "Of course we can" Then how about we meet for a reunion as friends tomorrow at lunch? I won''t bring up the past for sure. You can bring your wife too. "Frieze will be busy at her office. I respect her office timings and privacy. I will see you at lunch near office hangout bar at 2pm. I will hang up first. Bye." He hung up too soon and I still wanted to talk more. But, to win him back, I need to take it slow. At least he agreed to meet me. N?velDrama.Org owns this. The n is finally executed. A lunch would be something great to start with. I should buy myself a nice decent dress simr to what his wife was wearing. He always liked women dressed in decent clothes with simple make up. Basically, he likes the ssic look on girls. Probably that is the reason why he liked Frieze. She did not put any make up but looked pretty. If I knew my daddy was meeting them at his project site, I would had dressed myself into simpler clothes rather than that short hot pink dress with my breasts rarely covered. I should change myself now to change him. I need to keep myself in mind now and be mindful about the way I speak. I am not sure if he would sleep with me. I would miss sex for sometime but worth sacrificing for a rich future to myself. Chapter 16: The Lunch Date Chapter 16: The Lunch Date First Person Idri I cannot believe I just agreed to meet Dori. I am not sure if I should tell Frieze about it. She may not like it. I know if I ask her out for lunch or to apany me to the lunch I epted, she would be all ready to give mepany. But, I guess I need to take some time out to talk to Dori to make it clear that I have settled in my life and she should stop pestering me if she has nned to do so. She was always of the clingy kind and the way she hugged me the other day in front of Frieze, she did not seem to care if her ex-boyfriend was now married to someone else. It was her fault that she went away and could not give me the time I needed or I would rather call it my personal space. Frieze has thismon sense to respect my personal space while this girl does not. I have already reached the restaurant ten minutes earlier but what I see right in front of my eyes is Dori already waving a hand at me. Since when did Dori be so punctual. I remember during our dating scenes where she was never on time. Look at this now, she is much ahead of me when ites to punctuality. I sat opposite her and the waiter greeted us handing us the menu for order. Dori greeted me politely and had an innocent smile on her face. Her dressing style also looked odd. She hardly wore clothes and now she was all covered in a midi dress along with a bun. She reminds me of Frieze. My wife is the best. She always dressed simple and yet, she always looked so sassy. I am already missing her. How I wish the woman opposite me was Frieze and not this stic doll. We ced the order for food. Just to act as a gentleman, I offered her the chance to order lunch. She ordered all my favorite dishes. After three years, she still remembers all my favorite. This is surprising. As the waiter went away to give our order, we were left alone. I was not sure how to start a conversation with her but luckily the awkward silence was broken by Dori herself. She spoke in a soft voice ¡°I had no idea that you will end up getting married once I leave the city. I thought we were still in a rtionship but just not in talking terms. I rather term it as aplicated rtionship. I have been waiting all these years to meet you and even hear from you. I should had known you would betray me this way.¡± Whattt!!! What did she just say? Didn¡¯t she texted me first that it is over? We indeed broke up over a text and I cannot go this wrong. I got angry listening to her usation. I spoke in an irritated tone ¡°You cannot me me. You left first. All you had to do is give me some time to get everything stabilized. But, I do remember your text saying it was over. Why did you turn up only after three years but not earlier?¡± C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°I was waiting for you and it already crossed three years of waiting. I thought you woulde looking for me. I was hoping that you will use your resources and power to track me down ande all the way wherever I was to win me back. I was still thinking I was your girlfriend until I heard the news that you got married.¡± ¡°See Dori, I have settled in my life now and I am a married man. I am no more your boyfriend. If you misunderstood that we were in a rtionship all this while, I am sorry. I don¡¯t think I can help you enough. I can pay you some million dors if you like.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need your money. I want you in my life. Can we do over? I know you are married but I am sure Frieze will be fine to see us together again. Can we try us one more time?¡± ¡°Have you gone nuts? That woman is not just my wife but my best friend. She left her ill parents, her city, her job and everything else just to be with me here in Kay City. She is still adjusting with the changes that havee through. Even her career is affected because she had to shift here and she is literally starting from the scratch. She refused her promotion in her office as the department head just because of me and the marriage. She has done a lot for me and you want me to leave her just for a second chance to you after being married for six long months?¡± ¡°I know what I am saying is offending you. But, we were still in a rtionship at the time you married her. Don¡¯t you think?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you are saying. You were gone and I moved on. I dated her for five months and I am married for six straight months. I love my wife.¡± ¡°What about my love? You owe me three years of my love life. It is not even a year with her. Maybe just because she is your best friend, you thought it was love.¡± ¡°I know what love is. I love only her. Dori we were already over three years ago. You have misunderstood the circumstances.¡± ¡°Please give us one chance. I will talk to Frieze. I will let her know she was just a rebound. I am ready to bear the consequences.¡± Arghh!! What is wrong with me??? Is she manipting me? How can she think that I will leave Frieze. I am in love with her. Dori is my past. She just cannote back after three years and tell me to give her a chance. I hope I was not too quick to indulge myself with Frieze. Was it really a rebound or an attraction towards her beauty and innocence. What am I even thinking? This is so wrong. How do I owe Dori three years? I know I replied just an ¡°Okay¡± but it is true that it does not confirm I epted her proposal to breakup. Was she waiting for me all this while and I never turn up to look for her just because I was irritated by her clingy nature? My thoughts were interrupted by Dori. She kepy her hands in mine and spoke gently with teary eyes, ¡°I know this would be hard for you and maybe harder for your wife. But, trust me, you are the only one I love and have been waiting for. I have even changed myself over these years for you. I am no more the old Dori. I have changed only for you and all I hoped for these years that you will ept me once you see how changed I am not. Everyone has a past and time changes everything. Don¡¯t you think you should give me a second chance?¡± Chapter 17: A Friends Warning Chapter 17: A Friend''s Warning Idri could not say anything after what he heard from Dori. Did he get involved with Frieze just to forget Dori? He was confused and lost. He did not protest further. They both had lunch in silence. While he was about to leave, Dori stood up and took a picture with him. He did not like it but it was toote. The picture was already taken suddenly before even he could react. He did not pay much heed and greeted her bye to leave. Dori sat there for a while and he saw the man leaving the restaurant. He was smiling to herself. She quickly opened her social media ount and uploaded her picture with Idri as a status with the caption ¡°A lunch date with my ex-boyfriend.¡± She even sent a friend request to Frieze while she blocked Idri who could not check her status. Frieze received a notification on her phone of a friend request with someone named Dori Creg. She immediately recognized her face in the disy picture and epted her friend request without much thoughts. As she nced through her profile, the first status she saw on her wall was a picture of her with Idri. She checked the date and time and it was just five minutes ago. Frieze felt strange but she could recognize the shirt that Idri wore. It was the same blue striped shirt that Frieze took out of the cupboard for him to wear today morning. She felt upset that she was not informed that he nned for lunch with her meanwhile he never asked her for lunch while she used to work in office. She would be having lunch with her colleagues unlike in B city where Idri used to always ask her for lunch during office hours whenever he was in town. Her heart was heavy and she waspletely clueless at the moment. She was wondering if she was a rebound for him but at the same time, she knew he loved her a lot. It could not be a mistake. They are best friends and they were always open about their feelings. Just to lift up her mood, she called Idri. ¡°Hey boy, where are you?¡± Frieze was happy hearing his voice. ¡°Hey my woman, I am in office. Just finished lunch.¡± Idri spoke. ¡°That is good. What did you have in the canteen today?¡± Frieze was quick to ask him. ¡°Nothing much, just a burger. I had a meeting and so, I could not eat much though. Simon is also busy today with some of his projects.¡± ¡°Oh so you were all alone today?¡± ¡°Yeah all alone missing you.¡± Frieze was disappointed. This is the first time he lied to her. She could only have her eyes moist and her heart felt like someone stabbed it. This is from N?velDrama.Org. After a pause, she spoke ¡°I got a series of interviews to take up, I will hang up first. Bye.¡± He did not even respond but disconnected the call immediately. She was surprised by his odd behavior. She was lost in her mind. This is the first time she was lied to. She started thinking if he always lied to her but dated her behind the back? She loved her always and since, she was gone, she wondered if she was just being used as a mental support until Dori came back to him. She cancelled all her meetings for the day as her mood waspletely off. All sorts of negative thoughts surrounded her. She was hurt but little did Idri knew that he has been caught red handed. Meanwhile Idri sat in Simon¡¯s office telling him about what happened earlier during the lunch with Dori. Simon was furious and wanted to punch Idri on his face. Simon spoke angrily, ¡°How dare you meet her? She is a sly fox and she is simply manipting you. Are you even thinking to leave Frieze? Mind you, you lose her, she is gone forever. She is not the kind of girl who would ept betrayal. She will never forgive you and she will not even fight with you. I know her well. She is my childhood buddy. Once she is gone and you realize offte that you chose Dori over her while you are seriously in love with Frieze, you can never have her back. She will not ept you again. Take this as my warning. A friend¡¯s warning to another friend.¡± ¡°I am not thinking to leave Frieze ok. You are misunderstanding me. All I am saying is I should had looked for Dori and talk things out. She waited me for years. I am so confused. I came to you for advice and stop scolding me. I know I don¡¯t love Dori but I don¡¯t hate her either for leaving me.¡± ¡°You are married and stop thinking of your ex-girlfriend. Don¡¯t you dare hurt Frieze. I can kill you for that. Stop getting influenced by that wicked woman who is only after your money.¡± ¡°She has changed. I could feel it. I saw in her eyes.¡± Simon got angrier and held him by his cor ¡°Now you have started looking into Dori¡¯s eyes eh? Do you know if you say these things in front of your wife, how will she even feel? She left everything for you to settle here with you God Dammit.¡± Idri came up with an unusual idea, ¡°Let me meet Dori for some more time. Maybe I will know the truth. I know I don¡¯t love her. I am just pitying her because of my mistake of not clearing things out with her. She just wasted three years of her life waiting for me while I ran after another woman and married her.¡± ¡°Frieze became some another woman to you now? I feel sorry for you. You will regret this one day. Does Frieze even know what are you up to behind her back?¡± ¡°I cannot tell her about it. I am at a very confused state at the moment juggling between two women. I know I have invited trouble but I would try to meet Dori just to understand what my real feelings are. I had no idea she woulde back. I just feel a sense of responsibility here. I just want to clear my head just to make sure Frieze was not a recement or rebound but the love of my life while Dori was just a passing wind.¡± ¡°I am not supporting you. You will regret this one day and don¡¯te to me for this. I will not tell Frieze anything about it. You can trust me this much since I treat you as my brother. I will not help or support you either. God save you. I am off today.¡± Idri was left in the office alone lost in thoughts. Simon already refused to help him clear his head and now, he had to understand theplications all by himself and take decisions. Chapter 18: The Confused Mind Chapter 18: The Confused Mind Idri First Person N?velDrama.Org owns this. Simon would not talk to me about anything but business. He always stays angry and irritated. He is a brother to me and I expect him to be next to me during this confused period of mine. I decided to meet Dori over lunch from time to time. I just wanted to talk more just to clear my head. I was feeling guilty for making her wait and I did not even dere that the breakup was official. This is the biggest misunderstanding ever in my life. I am sure I have feelings for Frieze and not Dori but at the same time, I am aware that I owe Dori too much. I am just trying topensate and reimburse the time maybe. To top it all, she seems to be a changed person. She turned into a polite, kind and simple person just like Frieze. Maybe I got attracted to Frieze because of these ¡®my type¡¯ qualities. Did I say attraction? Well yeah! At Simon¡¯s wedding party, I was mad attracted to her. I wanted to get closer to her and know more about her. It was love at first sight. She indeed helped me forget Dori and made me realize how wrong I was to date Dori. I tried to win Frieze¡¯s heart for two long years while Dori tried to win my heart while she was in a rtionship with me. Arghh! What goes around,e around ehhh? Now, I could feel the mindful state of Dori. How I ran after Frieze is the same way Dori ran after me. I should had appreciated years back just the way Frieze did. I don¡¯t love Dori but it is not that I have forgotten the fact that she was always around me just to spend time with me. All I did was ignore her and set myself always busy with my work. I hurt her so much and I did not even try to look for her when she said it was over. I should had talk things through and even break up mutually at least through a thorough discussion. But, like a loyal woman, she still waited for me to look for her and turn up. What did I do instead? Started spending time with Frieze trying to win her heart. I fooled Frieze and I fooled myself too. I was attracted to her as I never saw someone this pretty. I think I got mesmerized by her beauty and so I wanted her. Also, Frieze is really sassy and smart. She is intelligent and understand me before even Iplete speaking all my feelings out. Maybe I thought the best friend rtion we had could turn into a love rtionship. These thoughts grew stronger that I used Frieze just like a recement and I was old enough to get married. I wanted to marry a good girl and she was the only one I could find. Dori molded herself all this time waiting for me and here I am settled with another woman while I kept her waiting. I feel guilt and sorry for Dori. Frieze will surely be heartbroken when I will tell her about my thoughts on our marriage. Will she agree to a divorce? How will she react to it? I am ready to give her whatever she likes. I can even give her fifty percent of mypany share if she would like it that way. It is just six and a half months of marital rtionship. It should not affect her much. We did not evenplete a year as a married couple and I am sure the quicker we depart, easier for her to forget me. I will not expect her to forgive me but I am sure she is strong enough to move on. She will also realize soon that being best friends, we loved each other a lot and we mistook it for love. She was always there for me even during business rted stress. We used to talk a lot and have been talking since we became close friends. She used to alsoe to Kay city to meet me and vice versa. All she did was as a best friend. We needed each other by our sides. The need eventually became love? I am going back to ground zero now. If I am still thinking of my ex-girlfriend while I analyze my rtionship with my wife, I am sure what I had for Frieze was an infatuation and not love. I ruined her life. I ruined Dori¡¯s life. I am bad with rtionships and I don¡¯t deserve to be in one. I will free Frieze and I am hopeful she will find the right man for her. She has the heart of an angel and any man would give her his world to her. My duty is topensate for Dori and I cannot be with Frieze anymore. Now, I have decided. I will talk to Dori about it. She has changed a lot and she has be humble over these years. I think a broken heart mends everything. I will give her the best days. Once the divorce proceedings are clear, I will marry Dori. For Frieze, I will give her a good alimony that she could enjoy being at home for the rest of her life. Regarding her broken heart, I am sure she will meet someone in her life soon who will mend her heart as time passes. Time heals everything. A month has passed. I was firm about my decision to divorce my wife finally and be with Dori again. She epted my proposal of waiting for me until I was in love with her. I cannot get married to someone I don¡¯t love. I loved Frieze but now I feel it was just an attraction and what I regret is not dating her for at least two years just to make sure my feelings for her were that of love. I was quick to marry her right after five months as lovers. Right after office, I walked directly to my parents¡¯ room to tell them about my decision. They were retiring to sleep but of course disturbed by me as I always did. I am aware that they would not be happy with my decision that I made but I thought about it for one full month. I knew there would be a storm and I deserved it. Chapter 19: The Storm Chapter 19: The Storm I walked inside my parents¡¯ room. My mom hugged me and David offered me to sit next to him on his bed. My mom sat beside me. I was sitting in between them and I felt even more pressurized to speak what was going on in my mind. I took a deep breath and spoke that I want to divorce Frieze. I told them the whole scene and next moment, dad stood up facing me and pped me hard. I fell on the bedside and mom did not try to stop her husband. I could just struggle to stand and look down on the ground because I know I messed up. It was all my fault. I ruined three lives here and my family have been affected. I have hurt my parents and would probably hurt Frieze¡¯s parents as well. This would be a reaction that every parent would give when their son turns out to be a bastard. Mom spoke first while my dad looks at me like he would murder me right away ¡°Are you not ashamed? You are saying you want to divorce that girl who considered you her everything? She epted us like her own parents and she has already done so much for our happiness? Do you know I never felt your absence at home when she was always there to take care of us? How can you even be so selfish and ungrateful?¡± Dad finally opened his mouth, ¡°At this age, we regret to call you our son. You are just spoiling our image and we are too weak to face our daughter inw now.¡± Onest kick on my head from dad and I fainted. I could hear my mom¡¯s voice cursing me but I could not understand what she was saying. I closed my eyes seeing my mom¡¯s angry face. The next moment when I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital room. Next to me, stood Frieze with a worried face. I could barely smile at her. I looked around to find the others. But, I was all alone with her. I asked her confused, ¡°Who brought me here?¡± Frieze spoke smiling pleasantly, ¡°Your dad called the ambnce to bring you here. You fainted in dad¡¯s room while you were proposing a divorce for us. He is really angry but don¡¯t worry everything is going to be alright. I promise. Since he sent you here alone, Rose informed me and I hurried here.¡± Did Frieze mention divorce and in such a cool tone? Did she know already? Did Simon tell her everything or was it Rose? She is not upset. She is not crying. I cannot see swollen eyes. Did she not even cry? How is she so cool while everyone else is storming at me like I am the bad guy. I was confused again. My head had an ugly pain and it seemed to be busting already. I suffered a lot and I am repenting. I asked her how did she know about the divorce idea. I wanted to clear everything now. Frieze with a heavy sigh spoke, ¡°We are best friends you know. Even if you lie to me, you should know you would be caught. I know you were meeting Dori for lunch and you always lied about having lunch in the canteen. Simon does not talk to you like he used to as a brother from another mother as you keep saying it because you decided to get back to Dori. I did have a feeling and wanted to ask if it was love from your side or a mere attraction before the wedding. I ignored my instincts. I still thought this phase will pass and maybe you are deviated seeing your ex-girlfriend.¡± I gave an apologetic look and was about to speak when she brought her hand in front of me telling me not to say anything. I stopped and let her continue. She continued, ¡°You went along with her for a month. I knew this wasing up. Everyone is upset but don¡¯t worry. They will all understand you one day. I definitely know you more than everyone else, so I was quick to knowing what is going in your mind. I just wished if you discussed with me instead of Simon.¡± That is the asshole. Simon spilled all the beans. He is the one who spoke everything now. He is such a snake. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°If you are thinking Simon spoke everything out to me, you are wrong. On my way to the hospital, Rose told me everything. It was not surprising because I knew about it already. It is just that I yed it cool. When I called Simon to inform that you have been admitted to your dad¡¯s hospital, he refused toe over. That is when, I knew his part of the story.¡± She is a sweetheart. I liked the way she is bravely and maturely handling things. She is Frieze after all. If it was some other girl and even Dori, the scene would have been dramatic for sure. ¡°Would you like to call in Dori? Maybe she can stay with you in the hospital for the night? I am going to my parents¡¯ home tomorrow for two days just to inform them. I am afraid if I tell them over the call, something may happen. I want to keep the atmosphere as calm as possible so that they can take the news easy.¡± She hands over her phone to him to ce the call. But he did not remember his number. Then she opened her social media profile and tried to ce a call through it. Idri was quick to see all the pictures in her profile. It was all about him and Dori. To his surprise, Frieze was in her friend list and she knew everything about his meetings but she remained silent. He was feeling sorry for hiding everything from her while she secretly suffered his betrayal. A sense of guilt came over his heart. With hands shaking and having no courage to face Frieze, he ced the call to Dori telling her about his hospitalization. While they waited for Dori to arrive, Idri finished his dinner. After thirty minutes, Dori finally entered with tears in her eyes. Frieze stood up seeing her and gestured her to sit in the chair next to his bed where she was sitting. She ran to him and hugged him tight and cried. Frieze just realized that she has been ignored and picked her bag up to leave. They were busy in each other¡¯s arm that they did not notice when the ward¡¯s door opened and Frieze left with tears dwelling in her eyes. All she could do is smile and cry as she walked up to a cab to drop her home. Chapter 20: Because Love is Sacrifice Chapter 20: Because Love is Sacrifice Frieze headed home and as she reached her room, she closed the door to lean against it. She was weak on her knees and sat down continuing to lean her back on the door. She sat still and tears came flowing down her cheeks. She started sobbing and the cries got fiercer. She was heartbroken and all she did all this time was to y it cool just to see him happy. She did not want to put any kind of pressure on him as she knew everyone just left him all alone. She is not disappointed as Simon from hiding everything from her but d she knew indirectly through Dori¡¯s social media ount that helped her ovee her broken feelings. She was waiting for this day to hear Idri tell her about the divorce. She was not sure until today where he finally said it. She continued to cry until someone knocked at the door. She knew it was not Idri as he was in the hospital and he would be discharged only by tomorrow. He got up from the floor, wipe all her tears and finally opened the door when she was confident about her looks. Outside the room stood Rose and David. They asked if they coulde inside. Rose held her hand and made her sit on the bed while David closed the door behind him. David pulled a chair towards her both facing Frieze. She waited for them to speak as she could already see how much they wanted to say things but did not where to start. She gave an encouraging look to both of them signaling them to speak and she is ready to listen. David spoke first, ¡°We have seen you as our daughter and never a daughter inw. When Idri brought you here for the first time, we just felt that our longing for a daughter hase to an end. I could never imagine it is that son who is now trying to make you leave us and this home. I am ashamed. Hope you will forgive us for all the wrongdoings.¡± Rose continued before Frieze could actually speak, ¡°You can choose not to divorce him. Let him suffer. Let them not be together. This is not fair. He promised you all the happiness and how dare he take it all away. I am shameful of my own son.¡± Frieze just smiled at both joyfully. Rose looked at David surprised. David looked at Frieze surprised. With a heavy sigh, Frieze spoke, ¡°I am happy that he has taken a decision for himself. If I don¡¯t divorce him, we are destroying three lives here. There will always be tension in the house and mental fitness is important you know.¡± She winks at them and continues, ¡°I love my husband and as your son, I know you both love him too. For the sake of our love for him, let us just see him happy ok? It is not entirely his fault. When I met him for the first time, I should had ignored him right from the start. A second choice would had been telling him to go back and talk things out with Dori just to be sure he has moved on. Instead, I willfully became a rebound and reced her. I am happy he finally realized it though very late. We are already married now. We cannot p with both hands you know. I should had taken the responsibility to understand his happenings in his life but I guess I misinterpreted his feelings to be love.¡± Rose took her hand, and looked at her, ¡°Are you alright? Do you even know that your letting your husband loose and supporting his wrongdoings? You need not be a Goddess here and sacrifice your love. You already sacrificed enough.¡± ¡°If you think I have sacrificed a lot, then let me do it for onest time because love is also sacrifice. We sacrifice a lot in life for the sake of love. This would be myst. My love for him will also die soon like his.¡± She was no more smiling. Her tears came back again but still controlling them from falling. N?velDrama.Org owns this. David kept his hand on her head, ¡°I know what you are going through and you are just trying to be ok. You are our daughter and you need not do the drama of being strong. You can cry until they are dry. Whatever decision you make; we are always your parents. You will always be our daughter. You can also stay with us after divorce if you wish to.¡± Frieze hugged David and her cheeks were soaked in tears. Frieze sat back on the bed, wiped her tears and spoke confidently, ¡°I have my whole life ahead of me. You never know I would end up with someone sexier than your son. You are invited to my second wedding in advance. Hahaha¡­¡± Rose and David joined her for the joke she made. As she stoppedughing and Rose just pretended to hit her with her elbow, she managed to dodge back and speak, ¡°I would be shifting to a rented apartment after I sign the divorce papers. Meanwhile, if you don¡¯t mind, May I please move to the guest room once Ie back from my parents¡¯ home? Ohh! I forgot to mention that I am traveling to B city to tell them the news to them. I don¡¯t want them to hear the news as some shock while I am here in another city. I will be back on Monday morning. I have already asked for leave for a week from my boss.¡± Rose and David sounded upset but could not help. All they could do is be on her side as she moves on in her life. They spoke nothing but stood up to leave. They hugged Frieze for onest time and turned to leave. They were heartbroken as much as Frieze was. Frieze closed the door and decided to take a shower. She was alreadyte packing her bags and decided to finish it quickly to at least sleep for a few hours before heading to the airport. Chapter 21: Because Love is Sacrifice 2 Chapter 21: Because Love is Sacrifice 2 Frieze first person Here I am sitting on the flight to B city. I have cried enough and I am so done. Dark circles are a pain and I definitely don¡¯t want them. I remember when I was studying for my MBA and I had my final semester examinations. I had to meanwhile prepare for interviews and study different management case studies to exin during the interviews. I had double studies to do and often I used to stay up night doing so. I had dark circles by the time my examinations got over and cracked an interview with a giantpany. I was happy but I was upset to see the round ck circles under my eyes. I called up my aunts and friends to give me home remedies to clear the dark circles but none seemed to work. I really wanted to avoid cosmetics as my skin is too sensitive to bear the brunt of chemicals. Hence, I never put makeup. It causes itching and red rashes on my skin. I can only manage to put baby products on my skin. It works wonders and really keeps my face healthy. But, I had to buy a corrector pen for my dark circles as Teresa¡¯s dermatologist rmended and it was only after four months of use that my dark circles were finally gone. It was even difficult for me to remember that I had to apply it under my eye three times a day. That was a lot of work for me and really got me frustrated. I had to put reminders every day for three times a day to use the pen. I am d it worked otherwise I would had scolded Teresa left and right for having me waste my time with a dermatologist appointment as well as the three times a day show. Anyways, Teresa has been texting me all this time send me all the motivational quotes to stay strong. Gosh! I cannot believe I am going through the divorce phase and I am myself visiting my parents to announce the news. I am stronger than I thought. Everyone in life makes mistake. I am not perfect though I considered myself very smart once upon a time. I wish I could go back tost year and reject his marriage proposal. I know I am thinking wicked but I think rejection would not put me in pain at least. Marriage has broken my heart entirely. My tears have dried up and I have cried myself to sleep over a month. I am so done with him and I want to look ahead to my single adventurous life again. I can travel wherever I want and I don¡¯t have to think of missing him anymore. It was my mistake that I thought his love was true. Men will be men is something I heard of and I am experiencing it today. It is so hard to find a good guy in today¡¯s world. Even if he tells that he would buy you and in the mood, you should know this very man would change once you actually marry him. For men like this, that we girls lose faith and end up having trust issues even over the good guys out there. I am sure there are many good guys and the only thing is that we should have those super powers to identify them. I am not upset that Idri is back with Dori. What is making me upset is about the fact that he could have done it in a more graceful way. I feel betrayal for over a month now. If I was not telling him voluntarily that I know it all, I would had been in the dark I am not sure for how long. I have rejected so many guys in my life and this is my Karma. What goes around,es around eh?? N?velDrama.Org owns this. I will be single and kicking again. Once I am back, I should start looking for a rented apartment near my office. Woohooo¡­. It would be fun staying alone. I wonder what all I will be doing. Maybe like dancing around with some hip-hop music and even y badminton on the wall. I will decorate my new house with a pleasant theme. I cannot wait to start a new life. I do have ns to move back to Kay City but I have a two-year old contract toplete in ABX Corporations. The contract also mentions that if I leave thepany before the contract end date, I can do so by paying the liability charges amounting to ten million dors. Such a huge amount. I am so stuck with this job. I like the job but I don¡¯t want to be in the same city as my going to be ex-husband. Once I am out of his house after I sign the papers, I would not like to see him again ever in my life. I will make sure he will not feel my existence. I will go far away from him and eventually I will forget him. I don¡¯t want to createplications. I just want to live free and tension free. I have decided to move on already and I will be a new person once I head back to Kay City. Few more minutes, I will bending in B city. I refused my dad¡¯s offer to pick me up. He better stay with mommy and I can definitely manage an airport taxi to my home. I wonder how would they react. I will try my best to be as funny as possible so that they don¡¯t take much tension. This is going to be tough. I have already nned my next life after the divorce and I really want them to help me focus on it rather than my past with Idri. He must have been discharged from hospital now. I have already paid the hospital bills as David told me to and Dori was already there for him. I had nothing to worry. So, I did not really care to check on him. David is a strong man who had the ability to send his own son to the hospital just by a kick. His parents love me a lot and they can always meet me in my new apartment whenever they feel like. I will not see Idri and make sure he will never see me again in his life. His parents are sweethearts. At least he cannot separate me from his parents. They are mine still and would be even after divorce. Since I still love him and I want to see him happy always, I wish him all the happiness and good luck with Dori. Chapter 22: B City Memories Chapter 22: B City Memories Frieze reached her parents home and both her parents stand right at the gate with questioning eyes. The caretaker is surprised too. The cook is in a rush to make her favourite dishes. She gotte buying all the supplies. Frieze just called them up to inform her visit just after she boarded the ne. They had only two hours to make all the preparations. Her parents were worried that she left Idri''s home after a while. But, as they saw a small suitcase that can hardly contain three pairs of clothing, they were relieved. However, they were still shocked to see her early morning right in their house. She did not look sad or disturbed. She handed over the luggage to the caretaker who carried it inside. Frieze hugged her mother and father saying that she is very hungry. Her parents are aware of her hunger spree. She takes her inside the house and suggest her to change. She quickly kisses her mother and father on their cheeks and rushes to her room. Her room still remains the same. The only thing changed is the fact that the person to whom this room belongs to does not stay here anymore. She is nostalgic about her times here. After she got married, she has not got a chance toe back to rejoice her old memories. She feels sad about the changes urred in her life so quick. She opened the Mickey Mouse cupboard and all her clothes have been neatly folded in different sections. The dresses hung in the closet. She never liked folding her clothes and so, she used to just throw her clothes into the closet. She would call out for her mommy or the caretaker to find her clothes from the dump. She oftenined about not having anything to wear while the closet is filled with clothes that one cannot even close the door properly. Her mommy was d that she took some of her clothes to her husband''s house and atst, the door could be closed firmly. Now you know why Idri was reluctant to tell her to pack all her clothes. The amount of clothes she had is equivalent to about ten people. Of course, she donates many of her clothes to NGOs but just to get filled-in soon. Now that she remembers the old times, she is sad and at the same time happy to be back home. She takes a shower and wears her usual pajama with a baggy t-shirt. As she goes into the dining hall, her mother gets emotional to see her at home like the old Frieze who used to run to the hall to eat. She feels like she has gone back to time but she looks more mature now than before her wedding. Frieze sits next to her dad and Mom is sitting opposite them. Dad looks at Frieze while serving her fried rice with tofu steaks. He speaks after serving, "So, what brings you here all of a sudden? You did not inform us. I called Idri but his cell phone was switched off. He didn''te along with you?" Her mother inquired, "Is he not worried to send you alone here? Why he did note along?" Frieze was only feeling the pressure of the questions being shot at her. She needs to still remain calm and speak casually about the news. She gulped down a few spoons of rice and some water as she gets ready to speak, "Idri and I have decided to file for a divorce. We are just meant to be together. Please don''t get worried about me. I have already decided to finish my work contract and shift back to B city. I don''t want you both to get stressed out but support me in my new start of life okay." Her parents were in tears. "I don''t want to see salt water running down your cheeks.. Ew... Look at me. Do I look upset? Yes if was a long term rtionship and probably at your old age, if I had gone through this, then maybe my eyes would had poured salt water onto every dish on this table." They wereughing and sad at the same time. Dad spoke after a long sigh, "What happened exactly between you two? It is not even a year and by the way, we are not old. We are still young at heart." Dad patted her head like she was a small puppy. Mom on the other hand, was still lost in thoughts. She stopped eating and she was no more smiling. Frieze spoke to distract her as she walks to her side "Don''t worry mommy. Whatever happens, happens for the good. I will be single again and this time, I am get you a sexy son inw and my Mr. Right. Do not worry about what happened between us. Our decision is mutual and we are happy to split for a new beginning. We make mistakes and we move on." Mom gets up from her chair and hugs her. "We are with you Frieze. Hope you are making the right decision for yourself. Stay strong. I know your drama and i can already feel your broken heart. You want us to stay stress free but we understand you. We will stay strong for you." This is from N?velDrama.Org. Frieze could only hug her tighter and her father patted her shoulders. She tried not to look upset. After the family moment, Frieze finally spoke "Thank you for being so strong for me. I have my flight tomorrow evening. I am in a contract job remember? I cannot take more than two days leave at a stretch until Iplete six months in office which is my probation period. I go rest for a while. I woke up early to catch the flight." Dad and Mom nodded in union and walked her to her room talking about her future ns. They were happy that she took the hard times well and Frieze was happy that they took the news well. Her much expected family drama did not happen. Chapter 23: Back Home Chapter 23: Back Home Idri: I am finally home. I didn''t know I was this weak to ck out with a kick. It is embarassing. Frieze has gone to B city. I am not sure if she told me when she will return. My phone is dead. She never travelled to her parents home after she married me. I could not manage enough time to take her to her city no matter how much I tried. The project of the shopping center really kept me busy but I was doing it for her. After it is ready, I will still hand it over to her. A gift is a gift. Now, I am back at home and Dori was with me all this time. I was thinking Frieze came to the hospital early morning to pay the bills but did not meet me. Nevermind. Maybe she was already gettingte and the injury is not that great. She is a smart woman and she could guess. Dori took me home and my parents were nowhere to be seen. When I asked Julie, who is the housekeeper of my house, she informed that they were in their room. I think they are still angry at me. I looked at Dori who seemed very tired. I told her to rest in the guest room and she agreed. Julie helped her to the room. I requested Julie to give her a pair of clothes from Frieze''s closet. They both are of same size and would definitely fit her well. I was scared to meet my parents but I am their son. They are angry at me but I know they love me. I knocked on the door gently and dad opened the door. My mom sat on the chair least bothered to even move a muscle. Dad had these questioning eyes telling me ''What do I want''. Duh! This is harder than it seems. I walked inside the room. Mom finally spoke after scanning me from top to bottom. "You should thank Frieze that we are not questioning you anymore about your filthy actions. She is out of your life and we all want to stay in peace. You have hurt her a lot. In the future, make sure you do not interfere with her life." David informed him, "We have asked Simon to help us with the divorce agreement. He must have already talk to thewyers. You can tell Simon all the uses and he would be asking the same to Friezeter in the day. You can leave now." I tried to speak but David stopped me and showed me the way to the door leading to the hall. So rude! I could only give onest apologetic look to both and leave. I walked up to the bedroom, and saw a pair of boxers, a track and a maroon t-shirt already on the bed. I realised that Frieze has kept the clothes before she left for the airport. I quickly rushed with the clothes to the bathroom to take a shower as I needed to clean myself up for a heavy meal. By the time the hospital formalities werepleted, it was already noon. Later in the day: Dori was in her room wearing only her towel. She found a floral dress on the bed that still had the tag on it. She was surprised to find a new dress for herself. She quickly wore it. She checked through the room. Julie also brought her some expensive perfume to wear. She leaned on the bed exhausted. Idri talked to her whole night in the hospital ward telling her what all he did all these three years. She was least bothered. She informed Julie that she would be sleeping for a while and takete lunch. She told her to inform Idri the same. Very soon, she locked the door and jumped into the bed to sleep. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Idri, on the other hand went to the dining hall for lunch. He sat there eating alone. His parents already had their food and here he was eating all by himself. He wore the clothes that Frieze left for him. As food was served, he saw it was his favourite dishes. The cook mentioned that it was madam''s instructions. Frieze is referred to as madam by everyone at home here. He told Julie to bring his power bank from his room to call up Frieze. To his surprise, he found Frieze''s number was missing from his phone. All his text messages were also gone. All the pictures of her were deleted from his phone and a few others. He felt strange. He does not remember her phone number and she hardly uses social media. He said to himself. ''Howe everything is gone. Her contact information and all the details are swiped off just like that. How do I contact her now?'' He dropped a text to Teresa to drop Frieze''s phone number to his inbox. Simon was not talking to him anyway and so, he knew he would directly ignore his message. While he waited for Teresa''s reply, he finished his meal full like he had never eaten before. Just then he saw a beep in his phone. He got the number and he quickly saved it. He was quick to dial the number but it was not answered. He was disappointed and after realising that he might be disturbing her reunion with her parents, he didn''t call further. He walked to his room for a nap. Chapter 24: My First Time 2 Chapter 24: My First Time 2 Idri¡­ I am too tired with all the events that happened over the month. I just need to be alone for some time and it really feels too good to be with myself. By head does not hurt as much as my heart does. My parents are rude to me and Simon, my brother and bestie does not talk to me. Frieze is not returning my calls. Dori is the only person at the moment who stands with me. But, she is not the person with whom I share my feelings. It was either Simon or Frieze. Maybe I need to turn the tables and start sharing things with Dori instead. Times have changed and I me myself for it. Frieze is my best friend and I lost the friendship too. I am happy that she is doing fine with the divorce. I always knew she would take things easy as she always hated drama. But, now things are changed. I broke her heart and I don¡¯t deserve her friendship anyway. Simon will forgive me eventually as he knows me so well. We are the closest friends ever. I helped him convince Teresa¡¯s parents for him and made him my business partner. He would still say loyal to me till the end of my life for sure. As Iy on my bed, I feel the other side empty. After marriage, I never slept alone. I never ate alone. This is my first time after marriage. Life is changing for me but won¡¯t be for long. I have already asked Dori to shift with me while we were leaving from the hospital. She would be here in two days. I understand she would need time packing her stuff. I will tell Julie to prepare the guest room for her. She can very well stay there and start mingling with my parents eventually. This would help her a lot to get along and you never know when she would end up having a healthy rtionship with them. For Frieze, I am not sure what she ns to do with her life. I am totally clueless. Maybe she will start dating someone once we are officially separated. I had no idea I woulde to this point of my life. It was like I married her just yesterday and I am already leaving her. Life is strange and full of surprises. You can never guarantee if any of the ns will actually be executed just like how one ns. I think Frieze will arrive tomorrow. If I remember, this is what she told me about going for two days. I think I miss her. She always kept the house filled with all the running and over talking. She is like a small child in the house. No doubt my parents are so fond of her. I am fond of her too and even now. She is jolly and funny though she cannotpete with my sense of humor. Why am I even thinking about her? Am being foolish. It is wrong to think about another woman while I have decided to be with Dori. Is Frieze really the other woman for me now? Have I robbed her off the position she had in my life? There is no looking back now man. I have decided and nned everything. I will work ordingly. Once Dori shifts here, things will start getting back to normal. I am hoping. Frieze in B City¡­ This is from N?velDrama.Org. I had a very good sleep after a long time. I feel so rxed. Home sweet home feels great. For a moment, I have forgotten all the shit I have gone through. I hope it is not some kind of a depression sleep. I don¡¯t feel sad though. I am just looking forward to my life that is all. As I picked my phone to check, I saw seven miscalls. Three of the miscalls were from Idri. Duh!!! I am not going to call him back. I don¡¯t want to hear his voice ever again. I am so done with him. Boycott Idri Mission starts from today and it will be of a forever duration or at least until the day I stop loving him. I called back Simon. He was asking me about the requirements for the divorce more like an alimony I would say. I refused to take any alimony. I just don¡¯t want anything from him. Having to take something from Idri even after split would mean a connection indirectly. I just want to be invisible and disappear like we never knew each other. I want to skip these three years of my life and restart from the time when I had no idea if someone with the name Idri even existed. Simon and Teresa were over the call. I decided to give them a video call instead so that they can see me live and believe that I was just super fine. Simon just cracked an ugly joke and gave a gross idea to me ¡°See you will be single again and you never know you can find some hot guy out there you know. You should be happy to start dating again but make sure you have a condom.¡± Teresa pretends to hit his head. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare spoil her. Let her concentrate on her career for now.¡± Frieze was giggling at their cute fight. It was Frieze¡¯s turn to hit the jackpot, ¡°No wonder why Teresa stays always tired right in the morning.¡± Teresa was all red in her face. Simon opens his mouth in shock to hear what Frieze said. They never expected her to speak something of that kind. She was always the good girl types. Simon protested and spoke in his favor, ¡°Really? You shoulde here and see our sex scenes. You will be able to guess who is on top most of the time.¡± Frieze felt awkward and Teresa was blushing even more. ¡°You are so gross Simon. Your wife is right here and this is how you speak. I don¡¯t want to see anything. I will take tips from her in the future for sure. Thanks for giving me the information. Hahaha¡± They allughed and blushed. Simon was already holding Teresa inappropriately sending chills across her spine. Frieze hung up the phone understand what was going to happen. She left her phone in the room and ran down to the kitchen to grab some food. Chapter 25: No Support For Dori Chapter 25: No Support For Dori Dori¡­ It was not so easy for me to re-enter Idri¡¯s life. I was so worried that I will have to work so hard. Like I thought, Frieze will be a dumb girl. Who lets her husband off so easily? If I was in her ce, I would had murdered the woman pestering my husband already. She is a fool. Idri does not love me. He is just with me because of sympathy. He is another fool to believe in my story. Frieze at least changed him when it came to emotions. He was a cold hearted person but now I do feel the warmth inside him. The best part is the warmth is for me. I don¡¯t expect his love but I will be fine as long as he is marrying me. I will have enough money and support to grab a hold over the fashion designing industry eventually. My assistant will continue to be with me of course. He won¡¯t create trouble even after I get married since he does not have the habit of being with a single woman for long. Frieze should be weed with the divorce papers tomorrow and as she signs it, I should be able to shift to Idri¡¯s home by the following day. Idri already told me to start packing my bags so that I don¡¯t leave anything behind at thest moment. I stay miles away from Idri¡¯s residence. I went to my father¡¯s room to inform him about my move-in with Idri. He was engrossed in some reporting in hisptop. I waited for him to finish and knocked at the door asking if I coulde in. He stood up from his chair and told me toe inside. I spoke hesitatingly. Ever since his wife, I mean my mother left him, he smiles less often. He is cold to emotions and he was always against my spoilt actions. He always thought my mother has spoilt me too much. This makes him even more angrier at my mom. But, I love her. Whenever she visits, my dad prepares food by himself and all her favorite dishes. She is a model and even though she is aging, she has been continuing to do several ads for her cosmetic brand. My dad never liked her profession and she wanted her to join a more intelligent job as per his outlook. They often had fights when mom came back home fromte night parties. He was not happy by her lifestyle and mom was not happy seeing her husband work under someone not having his own independence at work. Not like she had anything against Idri and his family but she just hated her husband being so loyal to them and giving them more importance than her at times. This is one reason why I never told my parents that I was dating Idri. I was not sure how they would react and I was not really serious about him. It is just that he is rich, handsome and with a good family background. After I decided to move out of the city and shift to California, I did tell dad at thest moment in the airport that I dated him and broke up over a text message. He looked happy with the mention of breakup and so, he was not much angry at me. He would never appreciate me dating his boss. But, now the situation is different. I am moving out of my dad¡¯s house and would be staying in Idri¡¯s house. I can already imagine myself lying allzy in his bedroom. I think Frieze will be shifting to the guest room or she may leave already. I just don¡¯t want to see her in the house after I shift. This is all I know. Even if she stays, I will keep provoking and irritating her as much as I can to leave the house. Once the divorce paper is signed from both the parties, I will rule. The n has been executed well. Both of the fools actually made things easier for me. I am a lucky bitch. This is from N?velDrama.Org. My dad waited for me to speak as I came out of my thoughts. I informed him about the n. He did not look happy. All he told me was some kind of warning I could not understand, ¡°It is life. You can do whatever you want. You are just like your mother. You will regret for separating two lovers. Karma roams around everywhere and never spares anyone. I am not a part of this.¡± What does he even mean? I am starting a new life. As a daughter, Iined that he should be blessing me and not tell me harsh words. Nevermind! I didn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore. He already spoilt my mood. I wished him goodnight and I moved back to my room. I already took a few clothes out to pack. I was excited to move-in with him. I had no idea Idri will be so quick in action. He kicked his own wife really well. I wonder how will she react once she sees me in his bedroom instead of her. I cannot wait for the moment. Chapter 26: Back To Kay City Chapter 26: Back To Kay City Frieze was back home in the evening. She called up her parents informing about her arrival. Rose and David waited for her in the main hall. She greeted them and walked up to the room to change. While in the room, she felt like a knife stabbing her. This was herst few minutes in her bedroom that was once hers. She decided to take a shower first and call Julie to help her out in shifting her belongings to the guest room. This would be herst time that she will be using his bathroom too. She was nostalgic. As water from the shower ran down through her body, the shback was making her heart pound. She started remembering her wedding, her entry to this room with all the flowery decorations and all the moments that made her feel so special. Her life was heaven and she does not regret keeping these memories in her heart. She wishes to cherish them forever. She calls in Julie to help her move the luggage into the guest room for a few days until she finds a new apartment on rent. She cannot tell anyone for now as everyone will object to it. She needs to start hunting for a house from tomorrow and work at night searching for them. Julie informed her that Dori is supposed to be in the guest room as per Idri¡¯s instructions. Frieze was shocked and wondered if he has already asked her to move-in with him, then why is he making her stay in the guestroom. She is a guest in the house now only for a few days and she would be living soon. Dori is the hostess and she should be the one staying in Idri¡¯s room. She insisted upon shifting to the guest room. Julie was helpless. She was unhappy to see the sight in front of her but she had to follow the orders. Meanwhile, Simones home with the divorce papers. She sees a sweaty Frieze pushing the luggage with Julie to the other room next to the bedroom. Simon runs to help carrying the papers. He hands them to Frieze telling her about the papers. She stood there frozen. She told Julie to move away and he picked up the luggage at once to ce it inside the room. Julie was impressed by his strength. She pped with joy. Frieze who was zoned out came back to senses hearing her ps. ¡°Simon, thanks foring. I will sign them and you can hand over to Idri. He has already signed the papers in office today and you are left to sign.¡± ¡°Oh, he is very quick to signing the papers. I will sign them now. You can take them to the court for submission.¡± Julie was feeling awkward hearing the conversion. She offered to leave them alone. ¡°Why are you shifting to the guest room?¡± ¡°We are mentally divorced. We are left with thest string which will be broken once the divorce formalities are over. So, I am basically a guest here in this house and I don¡¯t think I can stay with that man in the same room anymore.¡± ¡°You are a kid. What is a mental divorce? It is a brand new term for me. Haha.¡± She closed her mouth trying not tough at his mocking. She quickly went into her room while Simon looked around the guest room admiring its interiors. He thought Idri has a good taste of interiors but not a good taste when ites to Dori. But, he does not care anymore. Frieze is happy the way she is and all set to start a good life for a positive beginning. She pulls the drawer takes a pen out and asks Simon for guidance on ces where her signature is required. Simon with a heavy sigh points his fingers in the ces where she signs attentively. ¡°Done. It is confirmed that we are divorced. My marriage ends today finally. I cannot believe but I guess this is what is written in my book of destiny.¡± ¡°Now, what is a book a destiny? Another new term for me. I learnt two new terms from your dictionary.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this. They bothughed. Meanwhile, Julie came to the room informing about dinner. She also mentioned about Idri going out for dinner with Dori and so he won¡¯t be back home soon. As they walked to the dining hall, Rose and David already waited at the table for them. Frieze and Simon sat down opposite them. ¡°I signed the divorce papers. Simon please send me a copy of the approved divorce agreement. I mean the stamped ones stuff over the email. I want to keep a reference of the same for documentation purpose.¡± David inquired, ¡°How much time will it take to file the papers and get the approval?¡± Simon says in confused state, ¡°I am not sure. I will go tomorrow and get some information about it.¡± Rose¡¯s eyes were teary. Frieze smiles at her. ¡°I have shifted to the guest room now. I am already tired with all the traveling. Arghh¡­ Both of you can come and visit me in my new apartment whenever you feel like. I will share my location once I find and finalize one.¡± ¡°So, where are you nning to shift?¡± Simon asked. ¡°Somewhere near office for sure. I cannot travel so much to and fro if I stay somewhere distant. I want an apartment where I can simply go walking to my office now that I have a choice to do so.¡± Rose started teasing her. ¡°I envy you. You are so single once again and making your decisions. It is good that you are not stuck with a husband.¡± Rose winks at Simon. David frowns at her andins, ¡°What did I do to you? I am a nice man. I tolerated you till this age of my life.¡± ¡°You tolerated me? Excuse me? Care to repeat one more time and I will show you how you actually tolerate¡± Rose was all ready to quarrel. ¡°Haha.. Calm down. Take it easy. Stop waging a war both of you.¡± Allughed at the table while Idri was with Dori in the restaurant eating silently. He was not in a good mood after signing the papers in the afternoon. If Dori was not insisting upon signing quickly, he would had taken a day more to mentally prepare himself. He was wondering if Frieze has signed the papers already. Simon will be at his house at the moment. Dori will be shifting to my house tomorrow after my office. Everything seems sorted but he is still sad. His heart is heavy and little he could understand the reason. Chapter 27: Looking For Her Chapter 27: Looking For Her Simon left right after dinner. Rose and David were sitting in the balcony of their room having hot ginger water. Frieze was lying down in her bed in the guest room reading her favorite novel ¡°You Are Still My Wife.¡± She was sleepy after traveling but she was so addicted to reading the book that she was nning to at least read a few more chapters. Idri came home just to find Julie in the hall. She greeted him but he did not respond. He walked up to his room just to find it empty. He saw his night clothes on the bed rest so he knew Frieze was must have arrived as she always had the habit of keeping the clothes ready for him for all the purposes whether it was office, holiday and even clothes for the night. This was her habit and he was habituated to find the clothes right on the bed whenever he entered. He simply picked all his clothes and headed to the bathroom for a shower expecting his wife to be back to the room once done. He took a hot shower and felt rxed. The sadness that he had in his heart which he does not know why was gone as he realized Frieze was back home. He waked out of the bathroom just to find the room still empty. Frieze was nowhere in the room. He walked to his parents¡¯ room. Finding them in the balcony, he walked up to them asking for her. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Where is Frieze? Is she home? She is not in the room or hall. I thought I will find her here. She is not here either. Has she gone out somewhere? It is reallyte.¡± Idri just spoke without caring about their reaction or hatred towards him. Rose spoke dominantly, ¡°She has shifted to the guest room. I believe you have looked for her at the wrong ces. Congrattions on your divorce.¡± Idri looked confused. David rified ¡°Frieze has signed the divorce papers which you have signed earlier. Simon brought them today during dinner time. She would not like to be with you in the same room after signing the papers. So, she shifted to the guest room. You will find her. Make sure you don¡¯t disturb her sleep.¡± Idri didn¡¯t say a word. He nodded and walked out of the room. As he reached the main hall area, he ran towards the guest room banging the door. Frieze stood up out of fear jumped out of the bed in shock. Then he heard Idri calling. He was not sure why he was so agitated after being informed that she has signed the papers. She gave a sign of relief. She nearly had a heart attack. She bookmarked the chapter she was reading and walked up to the door to open it. An angry Frieze spoke, ¡°Why are you banging the door? Do you want to break it? I am in the middle of understanding what goes around in the office after he finds out his car is stolen.¡± Idri was confused and disgusted. ¡°Whose car got stolen? Who is he?¡± He was even more irritated with the mention of a ¡®He¡¯. ¡°It is a novel I am reading. The story is so interesting. I just want to go on reading it and here you are disturbing my reading time. I have signed the divorce papers if you havee for it. I have handed over to Simon already. You can talk to him about it. You are free and now peace out. Good Night.¡± As she turned her back to him, he grabbed her by her arms. He looked in her eyes and Frieze just stood there frozen. She does not remember when was thest time he touched her. She felt the barrier between them now and she just realizes everything is over now. Seeing her difort, he releases her hand. He coldly thanks her for signing the papers and leaves. As she stands there seeing him leave, all she hears is the loud bang of his bedroom door closing. She was confused and felt weird. Idri, in his room leaning against the door was talking to himself. ¡°Idri, which wife is gets super excited to sign a divorce paper. It took me around five hours to finally sign the papers. If Dori was not insisting, I would have had not signed today but tomorrow. She just looked so happy to leave me. Did she ever love me? To top it all, she got angry at me for disturbing her during her reading time. She got angry at me for some stupid novel. What is wrong with her? She did not even care to call me to inform that she signed? No signs of emotions on her face and here I am getting anxious for no reason. Have she moved on already? It is not wrong. I have moved on and moving in already with my girlfriend tomorrow. It is fine for me to be treated this way like she does not care to inform me when she shifted to the guest room, when she doesn¡¯t want to be in the same room with me, when she signed the divorce papers and all that. It is really fine. I feel demoted. Like how I robbed her off her wife rights, I think she did the same to me.¡± What Goes Around Comes Around Eh!!! Chapter 28: The Dinner Chapter 28: The Dinner Frieze was up early morning with a notebook where addresses and phone numbers of different owners of apartments have been mentioned. These apartments were near her office and Alex, her colleague was happy to offer her help. Alex is a resident of Kay City from a very long time and is familiar with the costs of housing within the city. He is the ountant for ABX Corporation since the time thepany opened its branch in Kat City not long than ten years ago. He is one of Frieze¡¯s senior in thepany but they became good friends during their financial meetings for sries of hired employees. They got along well. Alex¡¯s boyfriend Peter also works in the samepany but also works as a part time model for several advertisements. Peter was also a model in contract for Dori¡¯s mother¡¯s cosmetic brand for two long years. After he moved in with Alex, he was able to stabilize himself with several jobs in hand andnded with a stable job in hispany although he continued his passion for modeling. Alex met her near office and showed her around. They also looked up the addresses that Frieze had with her trying to find a good deal. There were three houses that she liked but the price quote was too high. She had to ask for a half day leave from office as she did not want to go to office until she is satisfied looking for a house. She found it harder than she thought. There was only was house remained and that was in Alex¡¯s apartment. Alex and his boyfriend lived on the fifteenth floor while Frieze decided to rent the apartment in another block of the same apartment but on the first floor. She does not like lower floors but she had no option. With Alex and Peter around, she would havepany to go to in case she needed support or help of any kind. Peter was quick to talking to the owner and Frieze was already guilty of taking so many favors from these two men. She did not want to bring Teresa and Simon along as she was afraid that they would tell Idri about her new home. She really didn¡¯t want him to know anything about her right after she leaves. She simply wishes to disappear that will eventually help her forget him. After a long discussion on the house along with several arguments of bargaining, Frieze settled with a good rented apartment. Though it had only a single room with an attached bathroom along with a main hall having an attached kitchen, she was still happy with the amount of space the house had. It also had a balcony facing the open parking space and the road following it. All she had to do was to buy some furniture and set everything in their respective ces. The owner requested for one day for making the rent agreement for Frieze. Alex convinced him a great deal to finish the formalities sooner. They were alreadyte for office and exhausted. Peter refused to go to office and called in a sick day already. Frieze still wanted to go to office to work. Alex had no option but to join her since they had toplete the whole set of CTCs for the newly hired employees. She also had to send the interview details and offer letters to many of the candidates who were interviewed recently. As she sat on her office chair, she was happy that she finally got a house just fifteen minutes away from office. She could take a cab or ask Peter or Alex to pick her up. Now that they were in the same apartment premises, they could also go together to office. But, she was still worried until she sees the house agreement right in her hand. Alex promised her that he would collect it along with the keys so that she could go on ordering for the furniture. She would be having a hectic time shifting to the new apartment. She was d that Peter and Alex were there to help her out with it. It was evening already and her shift was already over. Alex came in and asked her to join him for dinner. He informed her Peter would be directlying to the restaurant as he needed a change of clothes he felt. Being a model, he liked being in style even while dining out. On the other hand, Alex did not care about his looks. As long as Peter liked him, he was least bothered about other peoples¡¯ judgements and opinions. Alex told her to join, feeling guilty, she said she wants to go home and change first too. She stinks of fish with all of house hunting and still wearing the same clothes for more than twelve hours. Alex was happy to take her to her house and then back again to the restaurant where Peter would be already waiting. Peter had already booked a table for three. On the way, Frieze quickly called Rose informing about her dinner n and not to prepare dinner for her. Rose was happy that she was going out. She opened her cupboard and took out a dress for her that she used to wear when she was younger. She often thought of letting Frieze try few of her dresses of the yester generation imagining her ssic look. Frieze agreed to wear anything she chose for her and requested her to keep it ready as she would be in a hurry already.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Dori already shifted and was with Idri in his room. They were waiting for Julie to call them for dinner. Meanwhile, Rose waited in the guest room for Frieze with one of her old dresses that still looked brand new. Frieze and Alex walked fast into the room. Rose stood up with a ¡®Tadahhhhhh¡¯ showing the sequin ck dress in front of her. She had no idea that Rose had a collection of this sexy dress. It was little short and sleeveless. Frieze has never worn such a dress before. Alex pped and jumped as he saw the dress. He could not control his mouth and spoke excitingly, ¡°You mother inw is wild. Frieze, you will be attracting several handsome men at the restaurant today. Now I wish I was notmitted. Don¡¯t tell Peter¡­Shhhh¡­.¡± Rose already knew about Alex being gay. Frieze has mentioned a lot about him. Alex is handsome and Peter too. But, she was happy to see that Frieze has good friends in the city. They both talked for a while. Frieze took a shower and put the dress on. It was short and her cleavage was showing. She was too shy toe out of the bathroom until Rose pulled her by force. Alex was already ready with a hair dryer and ab to put a nice hairstyle for her. He decided to put a bun so that her backless dress gives her the sexy look. Rose gave her a light makeup look just to enhance the beauty of the dress. Frieze was shocked to see herself in the mirror. She looked hot and no more the cute pretty woman. Rose and Alex were proud of their aplishments. Julie stood there outside the room informing about dinner being ready. She was mesmerized to see the hostess this pretty. Sheplimented her and went back to help in serving the dinner. Chapter 29: Dinner 2 Chapter 29: Dinner 2 Rose, Alex and Frieze came out of the room. David, Dori and Idri were already at the table waiting for Rose and Frieze to join them. David so from afar and already shouted to Frieze in a transformed attire. ¡°Oh My Goodness. Frieze is that you?¡± She giggled and blushed. Idri could only stare at her when he realized there was a man standing next to her whom he has never seen. He was angry for no reason. Rose started exining, ¡°She is going out for dinner. This is Alex, Frieze¡¯s close friend. He is taking her out for dinner. So, I decided to be her designer artist for the day. This is the dress I wore in my first date with David if he still remembers when he asked me out for the first time.¡± David was nostalgic. ¡°I was left jaw dropped looking at her. Your mother was so hot then.¡± He spoke lost in thoughts. Rose cleared her throat signaling him to keep quiet and not to mention rest of the details of the date. Alex understood ¡°Aha!! Naughty Naughty¡­.¡± Everyone startedughing including Dori. Idri did not care about the show right in front of him. He neither smiled nor took his eyes of his wife. Dori interrupted and spoke, ¡°Frieze hope you stay happy with your future endeavors. I am happy for you.¡± Frieze politely replied, ¡°Thanks a lot. I am happy for you too.¡± There was a moment of silence and a tension built up. Idri gave bloodshot eyes at Dori while she ignored his murderous look. Alex spoke to ease the atmosphere, ¡°Don¡¯t worry David and Rose, I will keep her safe from all the hot men out there. She is mine tonight.¡± David tried to speak but was stopped by Rose. A little show just to make the enemies angry is worth it. Idri spoke angrily trying to still keep calm, ¡°Then why go out for dinner. You can join us.¡± Frieze protested ¡°It has been long that I dined out and I am already dressed. I really want to go. Can I stay at your ce Alex today if you don¡¯t mind?¡± Idri turned his hand into a fist. He felt helpless and anger was creeping in all over his face. Everyone could see his anger including Dori. She looked disturb. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Alex nodded. ¡°I wille home tomorrow morning. I can take an extra pair of keys of the house and sneak in tomorrow morning. I don¡¯t want to disturb anybody¡¯s sleep early morning. Hope it is fine?¡± Rose knew she would be safe with Alex and Peter and she allowed. She was nning to tell David everything after dinner once they are back in the room. However, she nned to keep her son in the dark and enjoyed the emotional burst he was having at the moment. Frieze and Alex greeted everyone at the table and left. Rose sat on the table and an angry Idri spoke, ¡°How can you encourage my wife to go out with another man like this? She is still new to the city and she hardly knows people. What kind of clothing attire is she wearing? That is not the way how a decent girl should dress plus she is married.¡± Rose spoke, ¡°She has already signed the divorce papers. She is a free bird now. I can encourage her to date, get engaged and even remarry to someone who is right for her. You don¡¯t have any right to question her life. Be careful with whom you are speaking.¡± Dori kept her hand on his shoulders to calm him down and not speak further as she was afraid it might get worst. While all the family drama went on a while ago, she already finished eating. She was embarrassed that she would be questioned but thank God the attention was onto something else and not her. She would be taunted by her future inws that she does not have the audacity to wait for her family to join her at the table and have dinner together. Idri could not take his thought out. All the negative thoughts about she staying over another man¡¯s house was troubling him. He stood up from the dining chair, ¡°I am not hungry.¡± and walked up to his room. He closed the door behind him and punched hard on the door. Dori, on the other hand, sat with David and Rose scared about Idri¡¯s temper. She has never seen him so angry and she could already be jealous as she understood his concern for her. Rose noticed her te was already empty and asked her to leave her alone with her husband. Dori obediently walked into Idri¡¯s room. Rose on the other hand looked so happy. She told David about the whole thing and she continued the rest in their bedroom. They both had fun seeing their son suffer because they think that he should be taught a lesson. Idri is in bad mood today and Dori will also definitely not try to get close to him. He did not even care to look at Dori. He picked up a nket and a pillow to ce it on the couch. Without even turning back, he covered his face in the nket and slept. Dori on the other hand,y down on the bed until she dozed off. Idri could not sleep whole night and he had no one to talk to. Dori is not someone he can talk how is he feeling at the moment. She would get upset. He waspletely lost in thoughts. While on the other hand, Frieze, Peter and Alex were already enjoying the dinner celebrating the beginning of a new life for Frieze. They talked and ate for hours. She even expressed her sorrows, cried a few times while mentioning about her old memories with her husband and excitingly spoke about her future ns. Alex and Peter told their story too about how they met and the ns to tie the knot the following year. Frieze specified that she would be shifting back to B city by the end of next year and they better get married sooner before she leaves. Chapter 30: Idri Is Angry Chapter 30: Idri Is Angry Idri... What is wrong with my mother? She is provoking her to date while she is still married to me? I mean I am wrong too but eventually Frieze didn''t seem to have a problem. But, why am I having problems? She can go out with any man she likes. She is doing exactly the same what am doing in my life while still being married. Frieze never dressed this great for me. I mean she always looked beautiful whatever she wore but nothing so sexy. Well, I never wanted her to dress that way as I would definitely hate other men looking at my wife. Dressing up for another man is really annoying. She is still my wife. I never had an idea that my own mother will support her for everything that Frieze did. I am not sure why am I being this questionable. This is not right. After she has returned from her parents home in B city, she seems to be just ignoring me. She never returned my calls and never even bothered to ask me when I went to her room yesterday. She never even asked how am I. She moved to the guest room without even telling me and put Dori in my room instead. I am still not ready to be with her yet and I am taking time. My dad was telling me that since she has signed the divorce papers now, she is no more willing to share the same room with me. Am I now some stranger to her? She cannot be in the same room with me? Not even as friends? I hardly see her nowadays. I don''t even know her whereabouts. She did not even join for breakfast and dinner is already fixed with some other new guy in her life. She left home early today morning and I have no idea where did she go. I have not talked to her for days. She doesn''t tell me anything. She robbed me off of all my rights just like that? I think I am overthinking. But I really want to know why is she ignoring me like I don''t exist? I should also do the same. I should start caring less maybe. She has her own life now and I have my own. I should n ahead with Dori. Simon handed the divorce papers today in office after she signed. I will have to file it as soon as possible. She refused to take any alimony from me, how can a woman be this weird. Every one loves money and she never loved mine. She loves only her sry. I think it is good that she did. Why am I thinking about her today? She has a new man in her life and I have my ex- girlfriend back to me. I should be going my way like the way she is going her way. I hate my mind. Why bringing thoughts about her? I want to sleep and not worry about her noting home tonight. She mentioned that it has been long that she has gone out or dine out. Why didn''t she tell me? I mean before Dori entered in my life again, I was always busy at work thinking she would be busy. I never asked her for lunch because I thought she would tell me if she wanted to go out ever. It is something of the past. I should notin anymore. Simon has started talking to me now and even my parents. They seemed to change overnight like Frieze. Did they finally ept Dori? Did they forgive me and epted how my marriage turned out to be? I will go with the flow and stop overthinking. My head already seems very heavy at the moment. I am not happy and I am clueless about the reasons. I will not see Frieze tomorrow. By when is sheing back? I want to call her up just to check on her. I believe she will not pick up. I used to call her everyday when things were great between us during office hours. It''s been more than a month there has been no phone calls between us. I called her but she never picked up my calls. I picked up my phone and still gave it a try. The phone was ringing but she was not answering. After trying for the fourth time, she finally received the call. Did she sounded irritated hearing my voice? "Hey Idri, how can I help you?" "I just called to check on you. Hope you are having a good time." "Yes I am having the best day of my life. I will hung up first. Bye." "Wait. I had to say something more." I did not have anything to say but she interrupted me before I can even speak further. "You can drop me a text whatever you need to say. I am busy at the moment. Good Night." She hung up on me!!! Arghh!! I hate the feeling. She wants me to drop her a text? Since when did she start asking me to drop texts if I had something to say? I mean is it like she dered this rule of texting her than calling her? She is not the same person who would leave all the work just to listen to me. Today, I see another version of her who just ordered me to drop a text like I was some subordinate and not her husband. I always picked up her call even while being with Dori. I never ignored her this way. Maybe I deserve it but I don''t feel so good at the moment.This is from N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 31: Busy Frieze Chapter 31: Busy Frieze Alex and Peter stopped talking for a while and shifted their gaze to Frieze who looked upset. Peter asked, "Is there anything bothering you? Who was calling you?" "Idri. My soon going to be ex-husband." "He left a gorgeous and smart woman like you. He should not disturb you anymore." Alex interrupted the conversation, "Did he seem concerned? You know Peter, when I was in her house, her husband was giving me dagger looks. I was afraid he would just stand up from his chair at any moment and punch me right on my face. He looked so jealous and possessive." Peter looked shocked. Alex continued while Frieze frowned. "He did not seem too happy I tell you. His girl was right next to him and he was busy staring at her from top to bottom. He did not even reply to my greetings. Then, he said that we can have dinner with them and he was like ''why go out''." Frieze rolled her eyes and folded her hands looking defensive. "I don''t care how he was feeling at that moment. He has his girl and I have my new single life all by myself. I am going to live it and kick some asses. Haha.." Peter felt emotional and held Frieze''s hand. "More power to you girl. You deserve someone much better than him. He does not deserve you at all. I mean just look at you. I am sure you don''t have any shortage of good men around you am sure. You will find someone who truly loves you." Frieze gave a smile to both and spoke sadly, "I am not a believer of true love anymore and I would not believe any man even if they say he loves me. I am so done with these things. I have been fooled once. I don''t want to repeat my mistake. I just wish he would be happy with his love. He is not my enemy. I have cherished and lived some of the best moments of my life with him. He was always there for me. I don''t hate him and maybe I still have feelings for him which I am sure will go off one day as I forget him eventually." This is from N?velDrama.Org. She wiped a tear that rolled down her cheek and paused. "I still want to see him happy always. So, I left and decided to go away just for his happiness. I convinced everyone at home and even his best friend to just normalise things for everyone. They seem to be doing well. I know they are upset and they just feel that I have been wronged but life goes on you. Shit Happens. I don''t want to stick to my problems. I prefer to find a solution and the solution is to begin a new life and rock it. I want everyone to be happy for me. I am strong and need everyone to stay strong. Let''s just forget the negatives. Cheers to a new beginning to me. Shall we?" They cheered with their sses. After dinner, they all moved to Alex''s apartment. They were tired but had to book the furniture for Frieze. Peter, Alex and Frieze got busy with the list of requirements for new house. They were searching for furniture online. Peter was a pro in finding the best furniture deals in the city. Alex helped her in shopping grocery, cutlery and other household needs. She will receive the house keys tomorrow and the furniture will be arriving by afternoon. They will have lot of work setting everything up and hence, all three decided to bunk office for a change. "Project n for Frieze home is ready to be executed Ma''am." People made the tone of the robot as he spoke. They allughed in union. It was already 2am by the time they slept. They were exhausted. Alex and Peter lived in a two room house and they were kind enough to let her stay in one of the rooms. On the way home, Peter insisted on buying a new dress for office instead of going all the way to Idri''s house. It will be convenient for her to just stay in their house and be ready in her new clothing for a new home. Alex agreed with Peter. Frieze had no choice but she felt it was a great idea though. She did not argue much and at the time of leaving, she informed Rose that she won''t being home that night. She would set her house first and maybe return to Idri''s house in the evening. She would be able to leave home during the weekends but she had a n. She would be too sad to leave the house and she does not want anyone to see that look of hers. Seeing Rose and David and her husband, she is afraid she would breakdown and be weak. She had a n to send them away while she leaves home in the uing weekend. She can cry onest time remembering her first day in the house as Idri''s wife. Chapter 32: The Staycation Chapter 32: The Staycation Frieze''s home was all set. Alex helped her with the kitchen and bathroom while Peter was busy supervising theborers to keep the furniture in the hall and her bedroom. Peter also set the curtains up while Alex continued with the kitchen. It was alreadyte afternoon and all three were very hungry. Frieze quickly ordered burgers and noodles for home delivery. Now they had utensils at home, they can make their first use of it and even celebrate a new house warming ceremony. Frieze was so d to have them as friends and she realised that without them, things would had been more difficult. She hugged both of them and they hugged her back. They were so happy to help her in this difficult times. While they waited for food, she called Rose telling her about her homing, how things went last night and about her brand new house almost ready. She seemed so tired yet so excited and Rose could only support her. She was not happy with the fact that she will not be able to see her at home everyday especially during the meals but she was helpless. She wants to have a new beginning and it is better than staying in the house that will break her heart everyday. She returned home in the evening. Peter and Alex stayed back in the house to supervise the electricians and plumbers. They even decorated the house for Frieze when shees back to check on her new home, she would be happy to see the surprise awaiting her. They felt this would give her more encouragement in seeing the brighter side of life. Back at home, Rose, David, Idri, Dori and Frieze gathered in the main hall after dinner as Frieze had a surprise n to put forward. As all waited for her to speak, she cleared her throat and confidently spoke "I have nned for a staycation in Musderine Resort in the outskirts. Would you all like to go this weekend? I have already made the bookings." Idri had a bright smile on his face and stood up to sit near Frieze. Dori could not help but get angry but suppressed her anger. "That sounds like a good idea. We have a weekend n already. I will take a half day tomorrow so that I cane home early and do the packing." Frieze frowned and spoke to Dori "Idri has zero packing skills. Please pack his clothes too along with yours." Idri opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by David. "I agree with Frieze. Dori you are in charge of his luggage. We don''t want you to run to stores buying the necessary requirements for him that would be potentially missed by him while he packs." Dori giggled. Idri pouted his mouth and felt offended. But, he was happy. He was thinking that he would finally get a chance to talk to Frieze and the several reasons why she is ignoring him. He is also nning to tell her that he still wants her to stay as a friend. He was upset that she is the wife but she won''t pack his bag like she always did whenever he was out on a trip. At least he would get a chance to talk to her while everyone will have a fun time was still convincing for him. Frieze continued with further details and all listened to her with patience, "We need to start from home at 9 am and we would check in by 11am. So, better have an early breakfast on Saturday morning. I have even requested them to send a cab for pickup and guess what, it is free of cost. Some kind of a weekend offer you know. There is a beach view from all the rooms and it''s going to be a fun ce for sure. Please get ready with your luggage by tomorrow night." Rose faked her smile and excitement all this while and David seemed to help her cope up with the emotions. They know why the staycation has been nned and that would be the day Frieze finally exits the house she lived in. She will move to her new house and they would never see her at the dining table after that day. Rose still kept herself calm and spoke nothing. They agreed to go away forThis is from N?velDrama.Org. the vacation as they did not want Frieze to have an emotional upheaval while she leaves home. Dori and Idri are clueless about it. They would never know anything about her after that day. Frieze''s journey would end as a married woman and a member of this family that she lived with for seven months now. Everyone wished each other good night and moved to their respective rooms. Idri looked at Frieze entering the guest room feeling eerie about it. Ever since she left his room, he has been going restless thinking about it. Chapter 33: The Staycation 2 Chapter 33: The Staycation 2 Saturday morning, all waited to have their breakfast. Idri could not find Frieze at the table. His nce instantly went towards the guest room. The door was still closed. He decided to suppress his curiosity of not finding her in the dining hall. He sat next to Dori, gave her a smile and greeted his parents. Julie and her husband were taking the luggage out of their rooms and ced it near the door. While they ate, Idri continuosly looked towards the room where Frieze said. Rose happened to notice. She replied calmly, "If you are looking for Frieze, she is done with her breakfast already. She had a lot of packing to do maybe." "Oh I see" Idri could only reply coldly feeling awkward that his thoughts were read this openly. Dori gave Idri an awkward look and then resorted to continue eating her breakfast. She still had to keep herself calm although she was jealous that he still thought about that woman while she was right next to him. David was happy to see the concern that his son had for Frieze but he felt sad instantly realising that she will be leaving today. He did not wanted his emotions to be read too by Rose, as she was always so good at doing that, he looked down and started pretending to be busy with his meal. After a while, when all were waiting for the resort cab to arrive, Idri was growing anxious for not spoting a sight of his wife. The cab finally arrived and Idri was quick to put all the luggage into the car. He left a part of the space behind the car for Frieze''s luggage. Idri asked David, "Where is Frieze? Tell her toe out soon. I need to ce her luggage. I have already kept some space. How many luggages does she have? Hope it''s not too many." David pretended to be calm and answered, "Frieze is noting with us. This staycation has been nned by her so that we all can get along and also with Dori." Dori was quick to interfere, "It is a family vacation, she is not a family anymore. Let''s go now. We will gette." She held his arms pulling him towards the seat. He seemed pissed. He released her hand and sat next to the driver seat and denied sitting next to her at the back seat. She was angry and upset but she kept herself calm. David and Rose gave a bitter smile l, gave ast look at the room where Frieze was and turned to sit in the car. They both gave a heavy sigh of relief that they aplished what Frieze instructed them to do. David and Rose held each other''s hands trying to be strong. David instructed the driver to start driving. Idri sat next to the driverpletely lost. He was silent and not even responding to Dori. He was getting irritated with her talking and ordered the driver to y some music. Dori sang all the way to the hotel and everyone in the car were having headache because of her loud singing. Meanwhile, Idri seemed to not care whatever was happening in the back seat. He waspletely lost in thoughts and his heart felt heavy. He did not know why. He was hopeful that he would finally get a chance to talk to her but nothing as such will happen. She is ignoring him till thest. ''What is wrong with her? Why she nned this if she did not have toe along with us? Why didn''t she tell me about it? She won''t even talk to me and doesn''t even receive my calls. She is making me angry with everything she is doing. I decided to divorce her but that doesn''t mean she will start getting spoilt this way.'' Idri is full of rage at the moment. He won''t be able to call her at the moment for an exnation as Dori was clinging to him like a leach. He dropped her a text, ''Why are you not here with us for the vacation that you nned for us? Howe you told mom and dad that you''re noting and you kept me in the dark?'' Frieze was super busy packing all her belongings. She does not want to leave a single sign of her in the house. She wants to set the house in a way that after the familyes back, they would feel that Frieze never really stayed in the house. After instructing the interior designer and her team to make the changes to Idri''s room like the one he had before he got married to her. She was satisfied. Alex and Peter were already at her home shifting the luggage into the truck. She even carried the albums that had pictures of Idri and her that he has prepared including their honeymoon pictures. Julie helped herThis is from N?velDrama.Org. take down all the pictures of Idri and her from the room and reced the empty wall with some paintings. The interiors were changed that once were designed based on her likings. Julie prepared lunch for them and even the decorators. Frieze was very satisfied seeing the house turned back to how it was seven months ago before the wedding. She paid the designers and left. She did ast check of the guest room and Idri''s bedroom. She took ast look around feeling eerie. She quickly wiped the tear drop that ran through her cheek and quickly ran down the main hall. Peter walked up to her seeing her sad face, "Are you alright? I know this is hard for you but please be strong." Peter gave her a hug and Alex stood there waiting for Frieze to calm down. It was already dinner time by the time they were about to leave. She dropped the idea of calling Rose before leaving as she thought she may be busy with her dinner. Just then, she saw a message shing on her phone from Idri. She read it, ''Why are you not here with us for the vacation that you nned for us? Howe you told mom and dad that you''re noting and you kept me in the dark?'' She showed the text to Peter and Alex. Alex encouraged her to reply. She replied, ''Sorry'' and switched off her phone. Alex seemed disappointed. He felt that the reply was like a cold turkey. But, did not say further. She bid a final goodbye to Julie and thanked her for all the support. She took a selfie with Peter and Alex outside the door of Idri''s mansion. She sent the picture to Rose, David, Simon and Teresa along with her parents in B city. She captioned it as "Leaving the past behind for an exciting new beginning." She was partially pouting and she sat in the car with the two new best friends of her life and left. The truck carrying her luggage followed the car. Frieze gave a bitter smile to herself and looked back at the house onest time as it disappeared out of sight. Chapter 34: A New Beginning Chapter 34: A New Beginning Rose was resting on the bed on the hotel room while David was busy reading the magazine. They both heard a beep on their phone at the same time. They looked at each, giggled and unlocked their phones just to see the message from Frieze. She looked sad in her eyes but still managed to have a bright face. Rose started crying when David came over consoling her. David spoke, ¡°It is time for her to be finally happy. If she stays in our house, she will be hurt everyday realizing about the broken marriage. She has lost the love of her life. Let her get over it and move on. She has sent the location to me. We will visit her next weekend ok?¡± Rose nodded and hugged David. She wiped her tears in his shirt and apologizing for getting his shirt wet. He did not mind at all. He closed his eyes and hugged her tightly trying to feel better and happy for Frieze. Simon, on the other hand, was busy in a meeting in his study room. Teresa saw the message and quickly ran to Simon. As she realized he was attending a meeting, she waited in the room. She sat on the sofa looking at her phone and then at Simon eagerly waiting to tell him about the text. She looked upset. After a few minutes, Simon switched off hisptop and quickly walked to the sofa sitting beside her. She showed her the phone with the message from their friend. Simon looked shocked. He was not informed about this n. He quickly called her. Frieze just reached the new apartment and she was busy shifting her stuffs inside the house. She was agitated and quickly took out the phone from her pocket and answered the call, ¡°Hey Simon, What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Did you leave Idri¡¯s home? Didn¡¯t he try to stop you? What about David and Rose? You are new to the city. Where did you go? Where are you? Who are those men with you?¡± Simon stormed her with questions and seemed worried. Frieze was in a jolly mood, she replied after letting out a giggle, ¡°I don¡¯t remember all your questions but I will still try to reply you in brief. I have sent Idri and his family for a staycation in the outskirts of the city. Rose and David knew what I was up to and so they just yed along. Idri and Dori have no idea I left the ce. As a friend, I would urge you to not to tell them. They will not care anyway. So, just be put and don¡¯t tell him anything if at all you consider me your friend. These two guys are my office friends. They are a couple. So, super save guys. I found an apartment here near office. So, I am sorted. Did I answer all your questions?¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. Teresa could hear everything as the phone was put in speaker mode. ¡°Frieze, do you want us toe over and stay with you for a while? Are you alright? We are really worried about you now. You sound crazy.¡± ¡°Haha¡­. Do I really sound crazy? I think it is my post-divorce mood. I am super cool. Now, I need to hung up. I am busy cing everything in their right ces. I am already tired. Phew!!!!¡± Hearing this, Simon looked disappointed and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry we will not tell him anything. He does not deserve to know anything about you anyway. Please let us know if you need any help from our side. Send me your location too. We will drop by too just to check on you.¡± ¡°Okey Dokey¡­ Bye.. I will send the location soon. Tada...¡± Frieze hung up the phone first. Teresa and Simon did not look happy but had nothing to say as the events were just so unexpected for them too. They are feeling pity for Frieze but cannot express it as they know she hates being pitied. They are at least satisfied to see her happy and not breaking down. Idri could not concentrate throughout the trip. One more day and as they will return by night, he is going to dash into Frieze¡¯s room and ask her the same questions that he asked over the text. Seeing the reply ¡®sorry¡¯ made him even more angry. That was not the answer he was looking for. He tried calling her immediately and found her phone switched off. He knew that she deliberatively did it. He was helpless. Idri booked another room for himself right after he arrived to the hotel. He did not want to be with Dori. He simply found her too clingy and irritating. She did not change at all but pretended to change. He felt she faked her generosity when he met her for lunch for the first time after three years. Dori sat in her room waiting for him in a sexy night gown. She called in the manicure expert services provided by the hotel and she was already flirting with the expert. He was only returning her flirty comments with a smile. The sexy gown was exposing almost all parts of her body. She was trying her best to seek his attention. He did not pay any heed to her slutty behavior and concentrated on the manicure. He was used to customers like this who would provoke him to sleep with them in the vague of manicure. He was handsome and so, anybody would enjoy a one night stand with him. However, he was a man of dignity and would never touch a woman inappropriately. He soon finished the routine for her and stood up to leave. His hand was grabbed by Dori and gave him a lustful look. She did not notice Idri standing near the door and watched all the scene that happened right in front of him. The expert easily removed his hand from her grip and left the room. She turned back just to see Idri standing behind. She was embarrassed and wondered if he saw her seducing the expert. Idri pretended to act all normal and told her that he is heading back to the office. He has an important business meeting and if things are not finalized today, he may lose millions. Dori was disappointed. Idri did not care about her and turned to leave the room. Dori was quick and hugged him from the back. He released himself from her grip while Dori felt rejected and offended. He left without saying a word. Dori did not care much as Frieze and Idri have already signed the divorce papers. She would soon be able to be with him anyway. She was not in a hurry to rush after him. He quickly called in the reception for call boy services and two men arrived to enjoy the night with her in an hour. Idri squinted to see the two men entering the door as he already realized what kind of men they were. He went down to pay the hotel bills and the bill details confirmed everything he doubted about her. He still managed to pay the bills for her cheap activity too and left the hotel. He called up his parents on the way to his mansion just to tell him that he was heading home for some work. Chapter 35: Idri Went Crazy Chapter 35: Idri Went Crazy Tony, his driver was quick to receive him at the entrance of the hotel. He was smiling bright thinking of going home and meeting Frieze. He did not care about anyone at the moment. He could not understand his mixed feelings. He has not seen or talked to him for a while. He just wanted to sit with her and talk through the night. He was grateful now that she arranged this staycation. He got a chance to get away from Dori for a while. He can finally talk to her in peace withplete privacy. He was prepared mentally that if she tried to resists talking to him, he will definitely force her to talk this time until she gives up and finally spills the beans about her weird attitude towards him. Tony politely greeted him and he walked quickly to door and satfortably. He ordered Tony to drive as fast as he can. After an hour, he finally reached home. He did not feel exhausted. Tony carried his luggage inside and Julie stood there in surprise. After a pause, she finally greeted. Her husband came rushing through and looked at Julie questioning her through his eyes about his sudden appearance. He did not care about the presence of the people around him with questioning eyes. He looked forward to the guest room and walked towards it. He knocked on the door trying to keep himself calm but no one opened. He knocked several times but no one answered. He grew impatient and tried to open the door forcefully assuming it must be locked from inside. The door opened as he pulled down the handle but he rushed inside the room calling out her name. He felt nervous for the first time. He quickly ran to his room to look for her and found the interiors were all changed. The history is back. The interiors looked exactly the same as it used to look before he got married. He rushed towards the cupboard, only to find Dori¡¯s clothes. He then remembered that she already moved her clothes to the guest room. As he was leaving, he saw paintings on the wall and his pictures with her were gone. He still kept calm and opened the drawers and cupboards in the guestroom. Everything was empty. The albums were gone too. He quickly walked up to the main hall where Julie and her husband stood trying to exin. He was shouting her name from every corner of the house. He even searched his parents room to find a sight of her. He finally turned to Julie in confusion, ¡°Where is my wife? Where is Frieze?¡± Julie was afraid of his dominating aura and stammered while speaking, ¡°She left.¡± This is all she could say out of fear. He did not look convinced and turned to look at her husband for an answer. Tony stood there in fear too and sweating profusely as he looked like a monster now full of rage. Julie¡¯s husband finally spoke after gulping down his saliva, ¡°Madam has left the house yesterday right before dinner. The house has been reverted back by her saying she did not want to keep any sign of her once she leaves. She was apanied by her two friends.¡± ¡°She left?¡± He rushed to Robert, Julie¡¯s husband, grabbing his cor. ¡°What do you mean she left? Don¡¯t you think you had to inform me about it about my wife¡¯s activities?¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. Tony spoke from behind, ¡°Don¡¯t hurt him Sir. She is not your wife anymore and maybe that is why nothing was informed to you.¡± ¡°She is still my wife God dammit.¡± He shouted at Tony. Tony stepped back and looked at the ground feeling guilty of speaking the truth. Idri just remembered Robert mentioning about her two friends. He thought it must be Simon and Teresa. He quickly took out his phone and called Simon. Simon was asleep. He got angry hearing his phone ring but seeing the name on the screen, he picked it up reluctantly. He spokezily, ¡°Why are you calling me bro? Don¡¯t you think it is inappropriate to call thiste?¡± Idri on the other side did not care whatever he spoke. He was quick to question, ¡°Is Frieze staying in your house? Did you guys help her shift and leave this house?¡± Simon stood up cautiously not to wake up Teresa. He slowly tiptoed out of his room and spoke in a low tone, ¡°What are you saying bro? We did not even know she shifted until we received a message from her telling us about it. Don¡¯t me us. I already told you I am not a part of this mess. Keep me and my wife out of it.¡± He hung up angrily after feeling used. He is angry at his pretense to worry about Frieze when she was kept in the dark and he already decided to move-in with Dori. He is reluctant to help him or give any information about her whereabouts. In fact, he himself have very little information about her and does not even have the location of her new apartment. All he can be relieved about is the fact that she has found two gay best friends for herself who has been there for her during her difficult times. He feels jealous that Frieze did not ask him for help but he at the same time knew that if he at all helped her, his rtion with Idri would had been spoilt. She will not stop being kind and generous ever. She always thought for her loved ones first before herself. After the phone was abruptly disconnected, he threw his phone on the floor. He looked at Tony and ordered in amanding voice ¡°Find out where Frieze lives now. Find everything that you know. I need her toe back home. If you love your job, get all her information before the sun sets tomorrow.¡± Tony nodded and left the mansion in hurry. He left Julie and Robert behind. He went inside his room and banged the door close behind him. He leaned against the door feeling helpless. He whispered, ¡®You finally left just the way I left you. Where did you go Frieze? You are still my wife. You robbed me off of every right of even knowing your actions.¡¯ Chapter 36: Frieze Breaks Down Chapter 36: Frieze Breaks Down Idri could not sleep at night. He did not even change his clothes from previous day. He was desperate to see her. He tired calling on her number but her phone was switched off. He felt empty and lost. Dori decided to leave after extending her vacation for one more day as she was too exhausted by the night¡¯s show. Rose and David left without her and as they entered the house, Julie came in worried. She told them everything in a single breath and finally grasp some air into her lungs. They quickly ran to their son¡¯s room just to find him lying on the floor all curled up like a child. He held his phone in his hand that had a picture of Frieze. They were shocked. He was the one who ended the marriage and started dating another girl without even informing her in the first ce. David walked up to him letting him sit. Rose stood there wondering how did he became like this. He already had dark circles under his eyes and looked very weak. His mouth waspletely dry and Rose forwarded a ss of water to him. As he took the cup, she spoke, ¡°Why repent now? The damage has been done. You chose this life and the only think she did was be considerate about your happiness. She left so that you stay happy with Dori. Don¡¯t hurt her anymore. Let her live in peace now. She has moved on.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this. She got angry as she stopped speaking. She did not show any sign of pity or affection. David looked surprised to see such a weak man in front of him. He trained his son well to keep adequate control of his emotions. Today, his training has gone for waste just for the guilt that this man feels in his heart. He regrets his actions and now, he all he wants is his wife back. He kept calling Tony if he found her address but got disappointed as he received a negative answer. This is the fifteenth time already that he has called Tony. In her new apartment, Frieze woke up with a body pain. She was tired setting the house right. She left her dead phone in charge and did not even care to switch it on. As she walked up the kitchen, she saw Peter and Alex sleeping on the phone hugging each other. Looking at the sight, sheughed. She strode to the balcony, stretched her arms and smiled at the view in front of her house as she looked up to the sky. This is a new day, a new home for brand new hopes. She was satisfied and content. She felt free and vowed not to let her past affect her present as well as the future. She quickly tiptoed to her bedroom, took a shower and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Alex has already stuffed her kitchen with lot of grocery. They woke upzy and kissing each other. Seeing the sight, she giggled. As they were slowly getting intimate, she faked a cough. Both of them stood up from the floor in alert mode. Sheughed loud looking at their confused expression. They seemed to have forgotten that were not in their bedroom but in Frieze¡¯s house. She held her tummy as sheughed. This is the first time Alex and Peter saw herughing like a maddy. She is just not stopping. She has gone through a lot of stress in the past few days and now that she begins her new life, she already looks so fresh and bright. Peter could not help but rub his neck where Alex was licking a while ago. Alex was embarrassed and ran to the washroom to freshen up. Peter was left alone standing in awkwardly and Frieze continued to smirk at him. She was enjoying the embarrassment they were going through. Peter finally spoke, ¡°Will you stop being so naughty little woman. I am shy right now. What did you prepare?¡± Peter was now trying to act all innocent and tried to deviate the topic. ¡°Alright. I will be a good girl now. Go brush your teeth at least. I will be ready with delicious food by the time youe back. It is almost ready.¡± Peter was not sure if she really knew cooking. He still tried asking for the second time, ¡°What did you prepare exactly?¡± He was suspicious and Frieze could sense it. ¡°I madesagna with cheese crumbles. There is sandwich too which contains broli, tomatoes and cucumber.¡± Peter gave a sign of relief. Alex heard it and spoke while Peter ran to the washroom to brush his teeth. He was already hungry by the mention of Lasagna. ¡°Don¡¯t you think it is too much food to eat in one day.¡± He was shocked to see so much food on the desk. There was vegetable soup too. Frieze spoke proudly and confidently, ¡°You can eat how much ever you want, I can eat all the rest. Don¡¯t worry. I am a pro eater.¡± Saying this she remembered Idri all of a sudden. She remembered how he was shocked to see so much food on her te on Simon¡¯s wedding and called her a poop machine. Sheughed suddenly arousing attention of Alex and she froze with her eyes moist. Then, she realized Alex noticed her and was staring at her for answers. He knew that she remembered her husband but still waited for her to speak. Frieze defended herself, ¡°It was a something funny from the past. Forget it. Peter is here too. Come over. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Alex felt sad at her state. He could make out that she is heartbroken but still trying to be happy. He gave an assuring look to Peter who looked confused but wondered what happened that made Frieze¡¯s eyes moist. She slowly ate and seemed like she already lost appetite. She continued eating still continuously avoided the gazes from the two guys opposite her. They ate silently and checked on her from time to time. Her sudden silence worried them but there was nothing they could do to help her mend her broken heart. Chapter 37: Find Out Who? Chapter 37: Find Out Who? After breakfast, Peter helped her clean the dishes. Frieze cleaned the rest of the kitchen and they left to their apartment to get ready for office. Frieze was reluctant to go to office but she had piles of work lined up mainly because of her leaves in the past few days. Peter and Alex waited for her downstairs. She wore a formal midi dress with small flowers imprinted on the dress. She matched her dress with a in white pair of heels. She tied her hair into a bun letting few strands of her hair hang across her jawline. She did not put any makeup but covered her face with a baby creamyer. She looked elegant and they could only stand there to admire her. Tony waited outside ABX Corporation hiding from being spotted by Frieze. As Frieze and her two friends got out of the car, Tony squinted his eyes. He quickly clicked a few pictures of them and sent to Idri. Meanwhile, Idri took a shower and sat with David as he insisted him. He waspletely lost in thoughts and even refused to eat. Rose was too reluctant to be soft with her son as he is the only for whatever is happening to him now. This is from N?velDrama.Org. David, however, had to help him cope with the situation since he is his son. He would make Rose understand thingster but now, he was concentrating on helping his son at the moment. Just as David sat with him in the balcony, Idri received a message from Tony. His eyes grew with hope and happiness. David asked him what happened. Idri excitingly spoke, ¡°Frieze has gone to her office today morning. Tony just sent me a picture of her. This means she is still in this city. I am stupid. I forgot she has a two-year-old contract with thepany and only then, she would be made permanent. If she wishes to leave before the contract ends, she needs to pay an amount of ten million to thepany.¡± David spoke after taking a sip from his cup, ¡°Hmm¡­ So she will be here till next year.¡± Idri heaved a sigh of relief and a ray of hope raise in his heart. ¡°Maybe I can go to her office and talk.¡± He called Tony and said, ¡°Good job. Find out where does she live now. There are two guys with her. I want to know everything about them.¡± As Idri stood up to leave, he was stopped by David, ¡°Take it slow. Don¡¯t you think if you go to her office, it will be very awkward for her. Why don¡¯t you wait for Tony to give you the address of her new apartment? You can create a scene there.¡± Idri looked dissatisfied and disappointed at his father¡¯s remark. Is he the one who creates a scene always? This time Frieze has gone too far he thought. How can she leave home without his permission and not even telling him about it? He still has the right to know everything about her. Idri thought in his mind. He sat down again and David left him alone in the balcony. Idri kept looking at her photograph zooming in and out. David returned with his phone after a few minutes and handed it to him. ¡°Her new phone number is in my phone. She has changed her number already. Don¡¯t try to call her yet until you make peace with her one day. There are also some pictures of her new house that she sent us. If you would like to look at them. Take it. She has decorated her house beautiful and cute. You can return the phone once done and thank meter.¡± His eyes went moist. He feels regret, repent and sorrow at the moment. He stood up and hugged his dad. He embraced the hug and jerking him from time to time signaling him to be brave and not give up. He needs to be strong to get her back only if he wishes to. In the office, Frieze was frustrated with work and client calls. She was worked up and tried to clear maximum of her work. Tony entered the office insisting up on the man in the photo. Idri has already called the CEO of ABX Corporation who happens to be his former business client to let Tony in to talk to the men in the picture. The receptionist was then signaled by the CEO¡¯s assistant to let him in. He was taken to Alex¡¯s chamber where he sat with pile of files lined on his table for review. His assistant prepared him a cup of coffee and ced it on his table. She was a girl in her early 20s who was being trained by Alex for the ounts department for the role of file management assistant. She quickly saw CEO¡¯s assistant entering the office without even caring to knock at the door. Behind him, stood Tony who was gestured by the young assistant toe in. After exchanging looks, the assistant and the young girl left Tony and Alex behind in the office. Chapter 38: Find The Truth Chapter 38: Find The Truth Alex did not seem to mind the presence of a man he has never seen. He casually gestures to sit in the sofa. He stands up and walks to the lounge area. He speaks formally, ¡°You may please take a seat here. How can I help you?¡± Tony smiled at him and sat opposite him. ¡°I am Tony. To give my introduction, I am Idri¡¯s assistant.¡± Alex squinted his eyes trying to recall who is Idri. Tony understood his curiosity by his expression and spoke again, ¡°Idri is Frieze¡¯s husband. They are not officially divorced yet but have only signed the papers. Hence, I am referring to him as her husband. Mr. Idri would like to know what is your rtionship with her?¡± Alexughed hearing at the question. He realized that Idri is jealous and this seems to be a good sign. But, realizing that he is not loyal to his friend, a sense of bitterness crosses his face. He starts speaking in a cold tone, ¡°Why does your boss care? She has left and moved on. It is not good for him to stalk her or secretly ess information about her. She will not like it for sure.¡± Tony was disappointed. He quickly dialed Idri¡¯s number who was eagerly waiting for a call from him. As he received it right after the first ring, Tony passed the phone to Alex to talk. Seeing the name on the screen, he realized he should cooperate with him knowing the kind of person he is. He rolled his eyes, reluctant to talk but still spoke, ¡°Hello Mr. Handsome. Why did you send your assistant here?¡± Idri got angry right after the moment he heard his voice. He remembered the dinner with his wife and the pictures he saw today morning. He was in rage. ¡°Stay away from my wife.¡± He hung up. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Alex felt confused. Is that all he had to say, he seemed confused. Alex looked up to Tony, passed the phone to him and rxed his back on the sofa. Tony quickly took out a photograph that was shot today morning and showed it to him, ¡°Exin this.¡± Tony rolled his eyes again and took a sip of water from the ss in front of him. He spoke after a pause, ¡°Frieze is a good friend of mine. For your information, I am gay. I have no interest in women. I am already in a rtionship with a man called Peter. The yellow shirt man you see in the photograph is him. Both of us consider your so called boss¡¯s wife as our sister. If that is enough information for you, you can leave now.¡± Tony gathered and coted all the information in his mind. He had a recorder in his pocket that recorded whatever Alex spoke. He had onest question to ask and stood up to ask him pretending to leave. ¡°Does Madam stay with you?¡± Alex was frustrated. ¡°Frieze is an angel. It is your boss who betrayed her. She will never betray someone she loves the most. She stays in the same apartment as us but in the other wing. Now, get out.¡± Alex screamed while being upset with the fact that her husband doubted her. He realized while he is busy pointing a finger at her, Frieze is busy thinking of his happiness in turn hurting herself in the process. Life is strange and that is something he never understood. Idri waited outside the office waiting for Tony. Tony handed over the recorder to him and Tony left the office premises. Idri stayed in the car hearing all the information that was gathered. He felt even more guilty for doubting her loyalty. Above all, he realized that she still loved him. A tear rolls down his cheek and did not care to remove it. Heid back on his seat with remorse and he does not know what to do at the moment. Even since he confessed that he is nning to divorce her in the hospital, she never looked back. She did not put him into dilemma or caused any trouble for him. She did note between him and Dori just because she wanted to see him happy with the love of his life. Little he realized that he was making the biggest mistake of his life and now he wants her back. He eventually found out where she lives and waited in the parking lot to head to her apartment by following her. He took a burger take away from the nearby burger store and had ate inside the car. He did not want to miss her sight at all. He was desperate to see her, to talk to her and even hold her again. It was already 6:00 PM when a car stopped next to Idri¡¯s. Frieze felt that she has seen this car before but did not bother to think further. Alex kept looking at Peter trying to tell him about something and Peter could already sense it. Frieze both of them bid goodbye and she walked towards her apartment wing. The couple was already in their apartment lift and Alex knew that the car must have belonged to Idri as he has never seen this car before from his memory of staying in this apartment for so many years. Idri followed Frieze in Tip Toe avoiding her sight. His first intention to find out her apartment number and so he slowly followed her. Frieze opened her apartment door and entered the house, throwing her bag away in the nearby sofa. As she turned to close the door, she saw a tall man standing outside. It was none other than her husband, Idri. She stood frozen at the moment as she had no idea that she would see him ever again and above all he woulde to her small apartment. She came back to her senses and asked him, ¡°Hello Mr. Idri. Is there anything I can help you with?¡± Chapter 39: Stay Away From Me Chapter 39: Stay Away From Me Idri''s eyebrow Twitched hearing the way she addressed him. She was formal and did not have any excitement in her voice that she always had before whenever she saw him. She looked thinner and pale as well. It made him upset. He entered her house, looked around while looking at her from time to time. He finally sighed heavily and turned to bombard her with questions as her silence was killing him. "Why did you leave my mansion? You did not tell me but sent me away from you. Why are you avoiding me? Do you know when was thest time I saw you?" Frieze was irritated with his questions and replied in a cold tone, "We are divorced now. I don''t think I am liable to answer any of your questions plus you can''t just enter somebody''s house like this." Idri squinted his eyes, walked towards her and grabbed her arms pulling her towards his chest. He looked into his eyes while her expression remained cold. "I am your husband. You are not somebody. You are still my wife. I have entered my wife''s new home since she left without informing her own husband about it." "Let''s just keep this neutral. I don''t want any pressure. I am happy with this new life. You stay happy with your new wife. We are even. You can leave now." She released herself from his grip and looked away with her back facing him. He felt weak. He stood there numb. He was clueless on how to deal with her at such a critical moment. He hugged her tightly from the back nting kisses on her neck, "I miss you. Pleasee back home." Frieze got frustrated and released herself once again from his grip. She turned around and next moment, a p reddened his cheeks. He did not react but she lost it at the moment and finally spoke what she had in her mind.N?velDrama.Org owns this. "What do you think of yourself Mr. Idri? You juggle between women and I let you do whatever you want? You don''t even have the sense to understand the plight of a broken marriage. You broke my heart and my trust. You expect me to trust you again and you will again make me sign divorce papers for a second time? I refuse to give you another chance of betrayal. You failed as a husband. You don''t deserve me. Get out of here. Don''t ever show me your face. I hate you. Just leave." She kneels down crying. She keeps her hand on her head and digs her face onto the ground crying heavily. Idri held her by the shoulders and he had tears rolling down his cheeks which she didn''t notice. She shrugged and continued screaming, "GET OUT OF HERE. LEAVE AT ONCE." "Please stop crying. I am leaving ok? Please stop crying." He locked the door behind him and walked upto his car. He sat inside the car and went on murmuring "Please don''t cry. I can''t see those tears. What did I just do? One mistake of mine, I ruined her, myself and us. What do I do now?" He hit his head on the steering wheel. Frieze on the other hand cried whileying on the ground. She finally cried wholeheartedly after suffering massive emotional stress. Her body temperature seemed high but she did not care. Shey still on the floor staring at the ceiling and she fainted. Idri called Simon after wiping his tears that rolled down his cheeks. As Simon picked the call, he could sense he is not fine. He waited for Idri to speak and told him all about what happened a while ago. "Can you please go with Teresa to her apartment? She was crying so much. Her body gets caught with fever after crying and am afraid she will fall sick. She seems to be in emotional stress by the way she broke down. Please help. She won''t let me stay and went screaming at me asking me to leave. So I came down and sat in the car. Please check on her. I am sending you the location." Simon spoke in a worried tone, "You stay there. We both will be there right away. Just stay put." Idri disconnected the call without saying anything. He sat in the car lost in thoughts. Meanwhile, Simon and Teresa rushed to the location that Idri sent them along with the house number. They knocked on the door but no one answered. Simon tried to push open the door but found the door was not locked from the inside. They both looked at each other with worry and quickly ran into the house just to find Frieze lying on the floor with a pale face. Simon and Teresa walked up to her shaking her to open her eyes. Teresa noticed her body temperature was extremely high. Simon picked her up to take her to the hospital while Teresa called Idri informing about the same. Idri ran up to the apartment while he waited for Teresa to bring a bottle of water from the kitchen and the house keys to lock the house. Seeing Frieze being held by Simon makes him angry. He advances forward "I will hold her. She is my wife. I will take her in my car. Tony is here too. You can follow us." Simon rolled his eyes and taunted him, "Now you remember she is your wife. Congrattions on your memorying back." Idri did not respond. He only stared at Frieze while carrying her to the elevator. Teresa signalled Simon not to say anything to him as he looks already stressed out. They followed him to the elevator. Tony was quick to opening the door and ced her inside the car seat gently. He slid through keeping her head on hisp. Simon spoke, "I could see your regrets are hovering over you already. We will be following you from behind." He turned to sit in his car and drive to the hospital. On the way, all Idri did was stare at her pale face feeling sorry. He ordered Tony to drive faster. Chapter 40: Stay With You Chapter 40: Stay With You After a series of examination, Frieze was shifted to the private ward of the hospital. Idri was in panic all time. She had not opened her eyes till now and he is worried. Simon still did not show his soft side to Idri. David and Rose soon reached the hospital too. Seeing her pale face, Rose pped Idri. His one cheek was already red and swollen because of Frieze''s p earlier. Now, the other side was reddened too although not swollen. He stood there motionless waiting for her to speak, "What did you do again? Do you wish for her death?" Idri could not say anything. The nurse on the other side requested not to fight in front of the patient as she may wake up anytime and she seemed to be in emotional stress already. She needs to be given a positive environment. David walks up to his son and ask gently about what happened. He hugged him quickly as he came closer and told him everything. Simon continued whatever he witnessed. Hearing this, Rose was already weak on her legs. Teresa helped her sit on a chair that was next to Frieze''s bed. All stood still in silence looking towards the patient. The nurse entered after a while with a few injections and Idri quickly held Frieze''s hand. He told the nurse, "She is afraid of injections. Please be gentle." She nodded feeling weird how he mentions about her fear while the patient is not even in concious state. Everyone saw his concern and sadness in his eyes. He was going crazy. He was getting sumbed to his guilt and regret. After the nurse was done with the dips and regr check up, she informed everyone that the visiting hours were over and only one attendant can stay. David was quick to reply, "Take care of your wife son. This can only be yourst chance." Idri had a tear falling down his cheek which he wiped quickly. He did not eat or sleep well ever since she left his house. He looked weak too. Simon called the cafeteria to bring some noodles and soup to the ward for him. Everyone left leaving Idri behind. All eyes were of that of encouragement telling him to correct his mistake. While Friezey on the bed clueless about her surrounding, Idri called Tony.N?velDrama.Org owns this. "Hello Sir, at your service." Tony robotically answered the call. "Find out what was Dori doing all these three years, her affairs if any and I know she has a fashion designing business in California. Bankrupt her and make sure she goes back there for at least a month. No mistakes and no evidences should be left on who did all this." "I will get it done immediately." Meanwhile Dori reached home. Julie opened the door and greeted her. She did not even look at her and casually walked up to Idri''s bedroom. It was locked. She knocked several times but there was no answer. She called out Julie. Julie responded, "Idri Sir has shifted all your belongings to the guest room. He said you are not allowed to enter his room and hence, it was locked by him before he left for work." Dori was surprised hearing Julie. She asked her to leave. She did not believe her and dialled Idri''s number. She assumed that it was his parents who are plotting against her trying to kick her out. Seeing Dori''s call, a gasp of anger spread across his face. He must be calm to fully trap her in her wrongdoings. He received the call, "Hey," "I am back home darling. I miss you. You know your parents are not letting me into your room. They have locked it. All my belongings have been shifted to the guest room. I cannot stay with your ex-wife there. What if she fights with me?" "Frieze left home. You can be in the guest room until Ie back. I am on a business trip. We will talk about this matter soon." She was happy and her smile was glowing hearing that Frieze left the house. Now, soon she was hoping that she would be the new Madam in the huge mansion. She came back to her senses and spoke in a neutral tone, "I can''t wait to see you soon. Good Night." Idri disconnected without saying a word. She still decided to adjust to things and once he is back, she would propose the n for a wedding. Idri called Tony again and this time, he was colder "I want her out of my house by tomorrow and send off the retirement benefits to Mr. Kane. I will transfer the shopping center project to you and your brother can be my driver plus bodyguard. Do it soon." Tony was in panic. It was too soon to execute the n. But, he had orders to follow. He replied with an okay and before he could say anything, Idri hung up the phone. He switched off the phone andy down next to Frieze on her bed. He hugged her to sleep while she was still in unconscious. After a long time, he felt a sense of peace. He was holding her like he was a child holding his mother. He nted a kiss on her cheek and brought her body closer to his. He felt rxed and his eyes were heavy already. He quickly slept off instantly. Chapter 41: Stay With You 2 Chapter 41: Stay With You 2 The next morning, Idri was still sleeping next to her holding her tight. Frieze opened her eyes with a headache. She could feel a heavy chest pressing her back and a heavy hand around her waist. She opened her eyes wide and turned her face just to see Idri sound asleep like a kid. He is snoring loud and she closes her ears with her hand. She looked closely at him and seeing the dark circles under the puffy eyes made her feel sad. She tried to wake him up but he was in deep sleep. She checked her forehead and her fever was gone. She was feeling too weak especially with the headache that she is not being able to move away from him. He looks weak but still too strong for her. She gives up. She continues to hold her ears giving an angry look to Idri from time to time. The nursees in after an hour just to find both of them sleeping. She tries to wake him up to give her some medicines for the morning and to remind him of breakfast. His food that was ordered by Simon was left untouched and suddenly as he woke up, his stomach grumbled. He saw the nurse standing on Frieze¡¯s side and found an angry Frieze looking at him with disgust. He spoke innocently, ¡°I just want to stay with you. Don¡¯t tell me to leave. Let¡¯s have breakfast together. I will order something to eat.¡± She did not speak. She turned to the nurse giving her body for the regr checkup. She handed her a tablet that she consumed and quickly gulped down after Idri handed her a ss of water. She remained silent and did not even thank him. She realized that her headache must have been because of his snores that disturbed her sleep and she was even more angry. As the nurse left, Frieze looked at him and said in an angry tone, ¡°you sleep like a pig. You snored right next to my ears and I have a headache because of you. Huh!¡± Idri covered his mouth trying not tough. He was afraid she would be even more angry. Soon, he ordered the food and it was brought over by Tony. He waited outside the ward until they finished eating. Idri served her some vegetable soup and porridge while he ordered pizza for himself. She had a pissed off expression while she ate mouthful of porridge. Finally, she stopped eating for a while and spoke, ¡°I want to have pizza too. Why didn¡¯t you order one for me?¡± Idri controlled hisugh at the grumpy kid in front of him demanding for food. ¡°You are a patient. Eat something healthy. I will buy you pizza once you are discharged. You are too weak and have not eaten anything healthy.¡± She kept quiet and she ate in silence. She was actually lost in thoughts. She wants to go away from him and wondering why is he not leaving her now. She should stay silent to avoid any interactions with him she decided. Regarding her discharge, she would ask the nurse once she is back and do all the formalities rted to it including the bills. She found her phone on the desk next to her bed and took it in her hand. She called Alex to inform about her situation. ¡°Hey Frieze, hope you are doing well now. When are you getting discharged?¡± Alex spoke joyfully. ¡°Hi, how did you know I am in the hospital? Is boss angry that I took leave?¡± Frieze got curious. Alexughed and responded, ¡°Idri informed me that you are at the hospital and by the way, do you know your husband is our new boss? He bought ABX Corporation. You are our boss too. Haha.¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. She immediately looked at Idri astonished. Idri was engrossed in his pizza not caring about the conversation that she was having especially when he knows that the man on the other side of the phone is gay. ¡°You there, Frieze? He is a good man woman. Be nice to him I say.¡± She was pissed. ¡°You are my friend. When did you seem to start supporting him this way?¡± ¡°You need to rest. We can talk once you are back to your apartment. I will hang up first. Meeting time¡­.¡± He said in a singing tone and hung up the phone. Frieze¡¯s headache increased. She just left the bowl and the te of porridge on the table next to her bed. Idri was quick at helping her clean up. Seeing he has not finished eating yet, she stayed in the bed obediently waiting for him to finish eating. She rested her head on the pillow pretending to sleep again. He was content at her behavior especially with the fact that she was not asking him to leave. He felt happy in his heart after a long time. Chapter 42: His Mastermind Chapter 42: His Mastermind First person Idri¡­.. After Tony gave me information about Alex, I managed to find his apartment and had a good conversation with him. Since ABX Corporation¡¯s CEO is a good former associate of mine, it was not difficult to acquire thepany and merge it with my giant organization. I gave him 30% of the company profit and cleared all hispany debts saving him from going bankrupt. His finances are secure now and I have hispany. This would mean I get a chance to be around Frieze or at least acquire her information from Alex and Peter. Alex was smart enough to cooperate with me. He would definitely not want to lose this job as his apartment EMI depends on the sry. He has reached a good position in thepany and definitely would not want his career to have ws of any kind. Peter seemed agitated with my approach to handling things and it seemed more like some peaceful way of ckmailing them. I don¡¯t care. I can do anything to keep Frieze within my proximity. I gave her so much freedom and she took a big step in her life by leaving me. I will not risk it again and I will not let her leave further. I thought I owed Dori too much for her suffering. She did not suffer even for a second. I was so wrong to believe her and I will definitely trash her so that she remembers all her life. What did I just do? I ruined by own marriage while my heart kept on screaming that she is my love and my heart wants to be with her. I will do everything to get her back in my life. She is not talking to me. She has lost so much weight and her beautiful face is all pale now. Sheys on the bed right in front of me all silent and weak. She was not like this before. I don¡¯t see the jolly side of her anymore and it is all my fault. However, no matter how difficult the situation is, I will not give up. Now that I have Alex helping me a lot with everything when it came to thepany whereabouts as well as about Frieze, I am done with one part of my n. By the time Tony came back to pick me up from the hotel the other day, thepany was already purchased by me and Simon managed all the financial and legal dealings. Eventually, it was not easy to deal with Alex in thepany. Dori¡¯s bankruptcy must be in process by now and Tony has already given me the signal. She will leave home by today and rest of her belongings can be sent back to her father, Mr. Kane. Her father¡¯s retirement is nned in the next two days and I have already asked Tony to tell him to leave the city with a huge sum of money along with two mansions plus two agricultural field. He always wanted to own agricultural plots and spend his old age in farming across the countryside. His wish has been granted and he can leave soon. As I was lost in thoughts, I received a call from Dori. She seemed to be crying and I could only pretend to be worried but my heart was jumping. I slowly sneaked out of the ward and received the call. Tony sat at the bench and immediately walked up to me as I came out. I signaled him to wait while I finish hearing what Dori has to say. Dori spoke in a nervous tone, ¡°Darling, I got bankrupt. My boutique has been sealed by the bank. I need to rush to California now and am not sure when I will be back. Could you please transfer me some money? Please visit me to the city if it takes me too long to return.¡± I gave a wicked smile to Tony as I was truly impressed by his quick actions. Tony replied with a proud smile. I coldly spoke on the phone, ¡°Stay there until the issue is resolved. I will tell my assistant to transfer some money to you. I just purchased apany recently and I am not sure how much I can send you at the moment. You might have to wait for two weeks for the transfer but I will still try as soon as possible. Just handle the matters as best as you can. I am sending you your flight ticket for business ss. You can pack your bags till then.¡± ¡°Thank you sweetheart. I will be back soon.¡± Dori replied sadly not knowing what is going on in the background. I hung up the phone and turned to Tony for further instructions, ¡°Book her the longest flight to California with multiple stops. I will be busy with Frieze for a few days. She is my priority at the moment.¡± Tony nods satisfactorily and leaves the hospital. I returned to the ward just to find Frieze walking back from the bathroom. I ran to her to grab her but she rejected me. She stopped me midway, ¡°I can take care of myself. You don¡¯t have to pretend to care so much. You can go back to office.¡± Saying this, she sits back on her bed. She is being too stubborn and unruly. I need to bare all the tantrums since it is all my fault. I sat near her feet staring at her pissed off look. She was looking like a cute mouse ready to bite anyone trying toe close. I spoke with authority and I don¡¯t care how she takes it. I am even more stubborn than her. ¡°I will stay with you until you get better. You can stay in your apartment after discharge if you like but I am going to stay with you too.¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. She looks at him with frustration. ¡°That is my house. You have no permission to stay in my apartment. You stay in your mansion.¡± ¡°If I need to stay in the mansion, you need to stay with me too. If you want to stay in your rented apartment, I am staying with you too. You are still my wife. We need to stay together until we are officially divorced. You cannot decide everything alone.¡± She looked dejected and lost. She was aware that I stick to my words always. The apartment she decorated was with so much love. There are chances I may take away her apartment too if she doesn¡¯t obey and finding another home for herself would be very painful. She must have decided to stay calm and ept her fate as she was too weak to fight apart from being mentally exhausted. She has decided enough for herself. The fact that she was avoiding me, I stillpromised on that. But, she just left. Not eptable. Did she think I will let her go this easily? I think I spoilt her too much and am in trouble today. Chapter 43: The Welcome Chapter 43: The Wee Frieze decided to stay at her apartment. Because the doctor told her family and friends not to stress her out, they agreed to her demand. Idri was not happy but he was helpless. David and Rose brought two luggage containing their son¡¯s essentials and clothes to Frieze¡¯s apartment. They were ready to help Idri now that they realize he is correcting his mistake. Simon on the other hand, took care of the company matters including recent transition of business from ABX Corporation. Alex and Peter were also helping Simon out with all the business matters after being promoted as business advisers for the company. He was busy with thepany affairs and since Idri was busy giving all the care to Frieze, Simon decided to cooperate. Teresa decorated the whole house like it was a child¡¯s birthday party. Although the house was small, Frieze has worked very hard on the interiors making it look like a fairy tale house. Rose was impressed by the decorations and could not help admire. Rose cooked delicious meal for the family lunch that she missed after Frieze left the mansion. David was helping Teresa with the decorations. Idri came with her supporting her on one arm and carrying her medical reports on the other hand. They were warmly weed that made Frieze smile with joy. She looked weak and pale but still was happy to see Rose and David right in front of her. She was missing them a lot. Frieze could not help stare at her smiling face and regretted even more for taking away all her happiness that was rted to him. However, he is determined to make her happy once again. David quickly gestured her to sit on the sofa concerned about her difficulty to stand for long due to her weakness. Rose and Teresa immediately ran to the kitchen to serve lunch for everyone. David walked swiftly to the kitchen too offering help to thedies intentionally leaving Idri and Frieze alone. Idri gulped down his saliva and asked nervously, ¡°How are you feeling now? After lunch, there is a prescribed vitamin tablet for you. Do not forget to take it and it should be taken for a week. Tony has brought you some fruits and I guess Rose has already kept in the refrigerator for you.¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. She did not say a word. She only nodded which disappointed Idri. She was smiling seeing his parents and now that she is left alone with him, she is a dead body again. He still decided to be patient with her. ¡°Do you want to change your clothes or maybe take a shower? I will help you out.¡± She looked at him aghast and spoke weakly, ¡°I can manage on my own. Don¡¯t touch me. I don¡¯t need your help.¡± Saying this, she stood up from the sofa to walk to her room. She was walking topsy-turvy fashion and Idri was quick to grab her from behind when she was about to fall. She was dizzy with all the medications at the hospital and the loss of appetite. She did not refuse his help anymore. She was too weak to refute. He quickly picked her up and carried her to the room. David and others in the kitchen pretended to be busy and did not notice the couple in front of them. But, they were smiling at each other looking at the slight progress. Frieze¡¯s expression was cold and she felt even more painful by his touch. The fact that the man she loved no longer belongs to her make her feel even more hurt. As he carried her to the bedroom and softly kept her on the bed, she felt nostalgic. A sudden gush of pain covered her heart but she tried to control her tears. He opened the cupboard to find some comfortable clothes for her. He tactically slides his fingers through her clothes trying to find the best out of the avable ones. She smiled at herself and thought she was dreaming. He is just doing this so that she can recover soon and all her emotions were gone until she became cold again. He came towards her with a floral dress. He handed the dress to her and kept looking at her. Noticing his re, she spoke angrily, ¡°Do you mind giving me some privacy so that I can change my clothes?¡± He gave her a mischievous smile and turned around. As his back faces her and she quickly tries to change her clothes, he spoke with a giggle, ¡°I have already seen you several times. You know that right. You are still my wife. I still have the right to see.¡± Her face immediately changed to red. As she wore the dress, although she was weak, she still managed to kick his ass with one leg and falling back on the bed. Heughed and turned around laughing at the way she was blushing. He didn¡¯t mind her kick that didn¡¯t feel like a kick at all. He extended his hand signaling her to grab it so that he could help her to back to the living room. If looks can kill, she would kill him right away for being such a freak at the moment especially when a divorce is knocking at the door. His casual attitude irritated her more and it made her believe even more that he has no feelings towards her as the divorce didn¡¯t seem to affect him at all. Looking at him smiling at her, she feels being mocked by him. The rest of the people in the house were already waiting for them at the dining table. Idri pulled a chair for her while still holding her hand with the other hand. He helped her sit and he sat right beside her. She was expecting Rose or Teresa to sit next to her but they offered him the seat next to her instead. She had no energy to question and additionally, she was too hungry already. It was a long lost peaceful family lunch that they had after a long time. Chapter 44: Secrets Chapter 44: Secrets Dori reached California after a 60 hours flight journey. She was exhausted and had no strength to even hold her bag. As her house was seized by the police, she could only manage to stay in a hotel until she resolves all the issues. She hid her face and tried to stay low key to avoid media. However, by the time she was out at the airport rushing to the airport taxi she booked, she was already surrounded by reporters. She was shocked to see how reporters knew about her arrival to the city. She looked down and hurriedly sat inside the taxi. She was afraid that she will have a tough time and if her reputation is ruined badly, Idri may have second thoughts about marrying her. She called Idri in panic on her way back to the hotel but the call was immediately diverted to Tony. Tony robotically answered the call, "Hello Miss Dori. This is Tony speaking, Mr Idri''s driver How can I help you?" Dori was irritated, "Why are you on the phone? Where is Idri?" "I am sorry not to inform you earlier as you were traveling. Sir is not keeping well these days and doctor said he needs to rest well for at least two weeks. Hence, he is not attending to any call at the moment." "What? Are you telling me that he will not attend his future wife''s call too? Give the phone to him. I need to talk to him urgently." Dori sounded angry but as the driver was looking at her from the rearview mirror, she calmed herself down and acted normally. She cleared her throat and spoke, "Please let your sir know I called him. I would like to talk to him as early as possible. I reached California and heading to the Bonsai Hotel. Let him know I will look forward to his visit." She was so sweet all of a sudden like a change in the season that Tony could not help butugh covering his mouth. He replied after a pause, "Sure Miss Dori. I will let him know once I get a chance to talk to him. He is resting. Thank You." This is from N?velDrama.Org. He disconnected the phone immediately andughed. He dropped the text message to his boss "I spoke as you said. Sending in the conversation recording in chat box." Idri saw the phone light beep as he came out of the bathroom after a warm shower. Frieze was sleeping while his parents and Teresa left after lunch. She was clueless that her husband was with her all this time. Seeing the message, he wasughing all by himself imagining her panic at the moment. He is yet to gather more information about her and avenge her for trying to manipte him. He can only forgive himself for what he did to Frieze only after punishing Dori. For his punishment, he has already received it the day he left him, his house and started avoiding his every call or text. He stood on the side of the bed taking his clothes out from his bag. He ced them one by one inside Frieze''s cupboard cing her clothes on one side while his on the other side. The cupboard was small but he could manage as he had only a few. If he has to stay with her longer, he would probably need more clothes and he may think of purchasing a chest of drawers for himself. He was only in his towel. He switched off his phone and took the boxers to wear them. He went to the balcony and hung the towel while continuing to roam around the house in boxers checking out her house and it''s interiors. It waste afternoon and he was sleepy too. He dragged himself into the room andid down next to Frieze. He pulled her closer and held her tight. He instantly slept off and Frieze naturally kept her hands on his waist while still in deep sleep. He was relieved to sleep with her holding each other after a long time. In Bonsai Hotel... Dori reached the hotel and found another group of reporters waiting at the entrance. She was frustrated and did not even look at the camera that was being focused on her from various angles. Her silence created much more suspicion about her activities in the city. She checked in soon and the porter helped her find her room while keeping all her luggage on the bedside. She tipped him a small amount and he left thanking her. Dori removed her scarf from her face and breathed peacefully. She was troubled and her mind was not working at the moment. She called Idri again but his phone was switched off. Out of frustration, she threw her phone on the bed. She decided to take a shower first and order some food to eat. She undressed herself and sat in the bath tub. Her body seemed to be aching with all travel and change of flights. After a hot bath, she wore her bathrobe and dried the water dripping from her hair. She was still in her bathrobe drying her head. She stopped to check the hotel menu to order some food. She called up the restaurant and ordered whatever she liked. As she dressed herself in shorts and a tee without a bra, shezilyy on the bed. She tried to call her father for money but his phone was not reachable. After a third attempt, he finally picked it up. "Hey Dad, miss me?" "I am ashamed of you. I saw the news headlines. I told you to be careful with whatever you were doing and it is all out in the world." "Rx dad. A little money to these greedy reporters, I can bring the news down and change it to something positive about me. You know I have done this before." "I know what you have been doing all this while. I have busy with some work. Clean your shit as early as you can." "Dad, can you please send me some money? I may need at least half a million." "I am retiring tomorrow and hence, once I receive the retirement amount and ny sry, I will transfer it to you. Wait for me for two days at least." "Alright Dad. Thank you." "Don''t you think you are asking for a lot of money more than it''s required?" "I need to bribe a lot of people here. Plus you know I had an affair with my assistant, he is in jail now. I need to bail him out too. Then maybe after clearing the mess, I will be out on a holiday. I think I will still need another half a million for that. You can send me one million instead. You know an advanced money." "Hmmm...I will. Bye." "Bye Dad." Chapter 45: Secrets Contd Chapter 45: Secrets Contd Mr. Kane was disappointed that her daughter never cared to even ask about his health being a daughter. She hardly called and she hardly cared to visit him. The only time she called him was when she needed money and she was too shameless to even ask a veryrge amount. He even ended up working overtime at work sometimes to fulfill her greed for money. Idri was not aware that the much hated daughter he always talked about was Dori. He supported him well and so he was able to manage his second marriage too. After Mr. Kane''s first wife left him and abandoned Dori, he was depressed. Dori always pressurized him for money and his wife had affairs with several models in the industry. With the divorce and a teenage daughter to take care of, he was suffering from depression. Dori is exactly like her mother. She was never satisfied with one man in her life and all they ran after was money. Likewise, she is running after Idri for his property and money. One night, Mr. Kane was drunk driving that his sight was blurry. He hit the paedestrian and hurt his head. He was charged of drunk driving but Idri helped him through considering his life situation. Ever since then, he has always been loyal to him. He even took care of his medical bills and bought him a home near to his office after his wife took away his house as part of his alimony. He saw him as a father figure from his college days while he worked for his father in his hospital. As for his depression, Idri and his father hired a therapist from a reputed rehab named Ria who was of Indian origin. As days passed, Ria was there for Mr. Kane to give himpany and eventually they both fell in love with each other. She waster fired by the rehab owner for secretly engaging in a rtionship with a client which was against the employee policy. She lost her job but Mr. Kane was quick to marrying her where Ria and their two children lived on the country side. It was only Idri who is aware of the second marriage and the children, Rian and Kia. He traveled to the countryside for a week to meet them once a month. Idri encouraged the visits as long as work was notpromised. Mr. Kane loved Rian and Kia a lot and wanted to keep them away from the bad influence from his previous marriage as well as Dori. Now that he was going to retire with agriculturalnds, millions of money and a secure future for his two children, he was more than happy to ept the offer. He would finally be with Ria and his children. As for Dori, he ns to hand over the house in B city to her as a final duty fulfilment from a father towards an ungrateful daughter and one million since she asked. Idri has promised him to continue keeping his second marriage a secret just to avoid any harm to them from his first wife and daughter. Dori would never tolerate any of her father''s property going to someone else or being shared with somebody else. She would rather kill them. Now, that Idri knows how Dori has made his life miserable, he clearly knows her true face. He was quick to capture several models who confessed about having sexual benefits at work with Dori. Dori put on some light make-up, hid her face with a scarf and entered the taxi. She was heading towards the prison in K city where his assistant, Mike was held. She is hoping to bail him out immediately once she receives the money. She has already asked her mother to hand over the bail papers to her once herwyer gets it all ready. She requested the same to Idri first but she could not reach him over the phone and she was least interested to tell his driver about anything. In the prison, Mike stood in one dark corner upset about his situation. He did not bother to even look at the prison door as it opened. As he heard the sound of anklets, he knew it was Dori. He looked up and finding no one behind her, the guards have already left, he ran to her to pick her up. Dori felt delighted to see him. She felt relieved hugging him. As she hugged, her hands tactically moved under his tee and understanding the signal, Mike was quick in lifting her dress to squeeze her butt. A moan escaped her mouth. They started to kiss while he continued to press her butt giving her the pleasure. While she held his neck, she took out a condom from her bag. He was quick to wear it and the next moment, they were enjoying the wild sex while the scene got recorded in the camera inside the prison cell. They were unaware and both continued to moan until they released and fell to the ground panting. The video was immediately released to the media. Dori stood up after a tiring sexual episode, Mike threw the used condom into the dustbin and helped her put lipstick after kissing it for thest time. He dressed himself back while Dori tied her hair into a bun. With ast look at him, she spoke, "I will get you out soon from here. We will go on a holiday then." He winks at her and she winks back. Clueless about what happened, she happily walks out of the prison. She takes a taxi and heads back to the hotel. The police officers looked at her with disgust but little she understood why. But, they had to do what was ordered as they would definitely not offend Idri who also have a good control over several legal matters including investments in several development projects K city and its nearby viges.N?velDrama.Org owns this. Chapter 46: This Is My House Chapter 46: This Is My House It is almost dinner time when Frieze woke up. Seeing the clock next to her. she pouts at the timings. She iszy to cook and decides to eat whatever is left over in the fridge from today''s lunch that Rose prepared. She yawns again and her stomach growls. She feels the hunger instantly. She drags herself out of the bed and irritatingly walks up to the kitchen frowning at her stomach growls. Seeing Idri in the kitchen, she jolts back. He sensed his wife has woken up from deep sleep, he turns to look at her with a warm smile. She is shocked to see Idri wearing her new apron that she has not even used yet and to top it all, he is cooking. She never saw him cooking. She remembered him telling her that he is a great cook but she never believed him thinking he is trying to impress her. But, now that she can smell some yummy food and the aura is ever intoxicating. Her stomach is noisy again with that smell. She scolds herself for drooling and wipes her face right in front. Idri looks at her expression and he could guess she is hungry. He turns back to his cooking and concentrates while he adds some oregano to the noodles he was preparing. Friezees back to her senses and coldly asks, "What are you doing in my house? Were you not supposed to leave with your parents?" His grip tightens on the spoon he is holding and feels disappointed hearing her speak like as if he is a stranger. He keeps himself calm and turns to look at her. He clears his throat to speak, "When my wife is sick, it is my duty to take care of her." "I am not your wife anymore. Just cut it. You can leave after eating. This is not your mansion that you can decide over things. I am so done with you." She waves her hand in the air and sits on the dining table. Idri brings the noodles and Manchurian to the table while continuosly looking at her. She does not care and checks out several emails that she received over these days. He served her on a te and interrupted her business with her phone, "Eat first." She did not respond and continued looking at her phone. He still waits but yet she does not care his presence. She is ignoring him like he does not exists. He sits opposite her, takes her phone away from her hand and pushes the bowl of noodles towards her. She looks at him angrily. "Rose and David wants me to stay here for a few days until you get better. I am here because of their request. We are not officially divorced yet and this means you are still my responsibility. If you don''t believe me, you can call my parents and ask. You can even call Alex after dinner. But, you need to eat first. You look like a dead fish." She said nothing. She quickly started eating while staring at her phone held by Idri with one hand while he eats casually. He nces at her angry face from time to time trying to stop himself from smiling. She eats angrily but as she finished her food, her instant loud burp sends Idri to heavenlyughs. Her face turns red with embarassment. As she sees himughing, she could not control but startedughing too. A sudden gush of sadness surrounded her and she abruptly stoppedughing. She was still and became all silent. Idri noticed her sudden change in her mood and tried to look through her to understand. Giving her an expecting look that she will tell him the reason for her sad expression, she got up from the chair, left her bowl in the sink without speaking a word. She gave ast look at him and sadly said, "Thank you for the dinner. You cook well. I can take care of myself. You need not trouble yourself. I am all well now." Saying this, she pours herself a ss of water and takes it to her room to take her medicines as prescribed by her doctor. As Idri was about to say something, she already walked away back into her room. He lost his appetite and stopped eating further. He gave ast look towards her room that she just entered and walked up to the sink to wash the utensils. He cleans up the whole kitchen while still lost in thought. As Frieze enters her room, she sits down on the edge of the bed holding her head. She murmured, "Why are you here in my house? I never had the intentions of seeing you again in my life after I left that day." She grabbed her tablets and popped them into her mouth. She drank the water like she has been thirsty for days. She keeps the ss on the table next to her bed and climbs into her cosy bedzily. She stares at the ceiling while a tiny drop of tear runs sideways of her face from her eyes. Sheys still without even caring to wipe the tear drop. She closes her eyes after a few minutes and sleeps off. This is from N?velDrama.Org. She did not notice Idri was standing at the door watching her while she was staring at the ceiling. He feels heartbroken seeing her this miserable and weak. Her naughty jolly mood is no more to be seen in her behaviour. She has a serious expression all the time unlike the old times. He curses himself in his mind for breaking her heart and trust. He swiftly picks up his bath robe and goes to the bathroom for a shower. The sound of water from her bathroom wakes her up. She looks at the door remembering the old times when she used to lock him up in the bathroom everytime he acted to flirty and seductive with her. Those old days are gone. She forcefully closes her eyes to sleep again to avoid thinking of the past. In a few minutes, she was already asleep and snoring. He frowns hearing her loud snores but still slides through the nket and sleeps next to her. He will surely not able to sleep whole night. Chapter 47: Idri Is Upset Chapter 47: Idri Is Upset Idri... Frieze is already asleep and Iy next to her. I don''t think she even realises that I am next to her and to a worst level understanding, she does not care if I exists. I still feel a cold aura radiating strongly from her. I cannot believe that it ising from the woman I love and whose heart I have broken into pieces for a whore. I think I have lost her but I am not willing to ept. I am not willing to give up on her either. It hurts badly when the love is all gone. She does not want me around and this upsets me. I will be staying with her even if it''s forever. She cannot leave me. I will revert everything that was once a heaven. For Dori, she better be behind the cell soon. I will ban her froming to this city. She already ruined her reputation and I have ruined her business. She made a big mistake by ying games with me. In a way, if Frieze would not have left the mansion, I wouldn''t have realised how much I loved her. I cannot bare a single day without her. The days I didn''t see her while we were in the same house, it drove me insane. My heart was heavier when she was not a part of the staycation. I wanted to spend time with her and little I realised what I was doing to her was all wrong. When I didn''t find her in the house, I went crazy. I don''t think I can be alive if she leaves me and disappears out of my life. The thought of it is itself is suffocating. Mr. Kane will be sent to the countryside tomorrow to unite with his family finally. I envy him in a way. I want to unite with my woman too and maybe have children when she is ready. But, as I see her right in front of me, this stubborn cold aura of hers is making me upset. I know I deserve this treatment but it hurts. I am even ready to be her maid or even her driver but I want her close to me. I have already requested the head HR of herpany, now that it''s mine, to transfer her role to my personal assistant. She would be so mad at me and I will be staring at her beautiful angry face like a fool. I can''t stop smiling now thinking of that moment. As a personal assistant, all she needs to do is to sit in my office. Maybe I can hand over the shopping center project to her to look after it. The project is anyways hers and she can handle it the way she wants it. Of course, I don''t trust her business skills and so, I will have to keep an eye on her actions. At the end, she will be under my watch all the time. She has seen the timid husband because I treated her like my queen but I don''t think I can give her so much of liberty anymore. I had no idea she would do anything and everything without even taking my consent. I am still not over with the trauma I faced when I realised that there was no trace of her in the mansion. She even changed the interiors so that I forget her? Did she think I will forget her? That was very stupid of her. I should stop paying her sry too so that next time she thinks of changing any interior, she will be penniless to do so. She can only think but can''t take any action. I am feeling like a father now thinking of ways to control the kids and make them behave. She just upsets me big time with all her actions against me. The divorce papers are still in my car. I am going to tear them into pieces tomorrow. No divorce is going to happen at least in this life. She can dream on. I brought this up but she yed the end game, now it''s my turn to reverse. I will make her heart soft again. I just need to borrow the time for myself and her. I love her and she is mine. She cannot leave me at least in this lifetime. I know she cannot cook that well and I am all ready to cook for her. I am not going to keep a cook. I want to cook for her myself until she gets addicted to it. She will be all ready to go to office tomorrow and I will be the one driving her. I have already told Simon to inform Alex and Peter. I am d they are cooperative. I may in fact need their help too to keep an eye on her when I am not around. Here she is, as I am lost in thought and talking to myself, shees close to me in her sleep and leans her head on my shoulders. She is already seducing me and I can feel her breathing. I slightly turn towards her, kiss her forehead. I pull her even more closer to me and ce one of her legs on my waist. I missed her. I am just taking advantage of the fact that she is sleeping. I know am being a bad guy right now but she is my wife. I held her tight, kissed her forehead again and then her pink lips. I should stop before I lose control. She would hate me if I do anything to her without her permission. I dropped my dirty intentions off my mind and held her close. I decided to just sleep off like a good boy. I can wait till the right timees.This is from N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 48: You Are Making Me Angry Chapter 48: You Are Making Me Angry The next morning, Frieze stretches her hands and legs while her eyes are still close. She feels her hand hit a strong chest. As she opened her eyes, she could see a shirtless Idri sleeping next to her. She immediately checks her clothes and bottoms if she still have them in her body. "Phew" She gave a heavy sigh of relief. Idri seemed to notice her actions and understood clearly. He spoke while pretending to keep his eyes closed, "It is not good to think dirty early morning you know." Frieze was shocked to hear him speak and her cheeks instantly turned red. She spoke angrily while being half seated on the bed and jerks him telling him to get up too. "What are you doing in my bed?" "Your bed? Well I was sleeping with my wife." "I am not your wife." "Are you suffering from dementia? I can remind you immediately and bring back your memory." He smirks at her. Understanding the meaning, she hits him with a pillow, "You pervert!" "I am being a pervert with my wife. Not you." Jerking him again, "How dare you sleep here? Get out or I will kick you now and throw you out of the bed." "I was sleeping like a good boy until you came close to me and leaned on my shoulders to sleep. Kick yourself first." "Stop lying. I can never touch you." "You touched everything of mine. I don''t remember if you spared anything." "You!!!! You are being too indecent. You cannot talk this way to someone you are not rted to anymore." She gets out of bed and checking her clothes onest time, she picks her bathrobe from the hangar and walks into the bathroom. Idri just grins looking at the bathroom door. He murmurs to himself, ''Stop thinking dirty and prepare breakfast before the wounded tigress is out.'' Hezily gets up from the bed, and walks to the kitchen while still in his boxers. He was turned on early morning and he could not control it himself. He didn''t care if she sees something unusual in his boxers. He immediately opens up the refrigerator to pick a few vegetables and puts them to boil after tactically chopping them to pieces. He boils some rice too and adds the boiled vegetables into it. He then pours water and some spices. He quickly smells the strong aroma that is reaching his nose from the vessel. Feeling satisfied, he looks towards Frieze''s room thinking she woulde running when she smells the beautiful aroma that has reached almost every corner of the house. Upset that she is not out yet, he gives onest look at his vegetable rice and pours it into two bowls. Looking towards the room from time to time and not seeing her yet was making him impatient. He ced two sses of juice on the table and walked up to the bedroom. He leans against the door while he watches her put on her shoes. She is all set in her formal dress and he could guess she is heading to office. She is busy grooming herself that she does not notice him standing at the door. He gets irritated and speaks, "How can you not get excited when your husband prepares you breakfast?" Frieze speaks robotically, "You are not my husband. You did not tell me you are preparing breakfast. Where is your attention to details skills?" "We are at home. Don''t give me office shit. Can you pleasee and eat. You are making me starve." "If you are starving, you can eat." "Are you giving me the permission to eat you?" He bites his lips looking seductive. She picks her wet bathroom and throws at him. "Eat breakfast you devil whatever you cooked. I am not food. Pervert!." He goes up to her, holds her wrist and drags her out of her room. He pulls the chair for her. She frowns but her stomach growls immediately the moment the smell of the rice reaches her. She feels hungry in an instant and she starts eating. Idri feels satisfied with her obedient behaviour for a change. He sits opposite her watching her with every bite he takes. "Stop looking at me." Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. He chuckles, "I am looking at my wife. Not you." "You don''t have a wife." "Thew demands proof." She then remembers that she has not received a copy of the divorce papers yet. She told Simon to send it to her but she started wondering what was the dy behind it. She gave an evil look to him and thought if Idri was behind the dy. She typed a text message to Simon asking him to send the copy of the divorce papers. She confidently replies with a sarcastic smile, "You will have proof soon. The food is good. Hope I will be alive by day end. You can go back to your mansion." "Why will I go back? You need to pay me for taking care of you but in my own way." "What do you mean? Don''t expect anything dirty from me." "Now who is thinking dirty. You pervert wife of mine!" He winks at her. She instantly gets angry. She goes back to her room, picks up her bag and gives him onest angry look, "You are making me angry." He watches her back as she leaves. Sheughs at himself and stands up to head to the room. He calls up Julie, "Hi, can youe over and clean this new home of Friezie. There are dishes to be washed too. Tony will bring you here and I will hand over the key. You need to also prepare dinner for both of us. Prepare all her favourites. Also, I have done all of this okay? No one should know you cleaned or cooked. It should appear like I have done it. You should leave the house in two hours time without a trace of your arrival here." Julie on the other side, "I understood Sir. Everything will be done as per your requirements and no one will know about it." Chapter 49: The New Personal Assistant Chapter 49: The New Personal Assistant Idri stood up and went to her room. He still feels happy at the fact that he still lives with her even though she does not stay with her. This is the first time in his life that he ever ran after a girl like this. He ran after her before marriage and still running after her after marriage. The thought of this makes him laugh and even upset at the same time. He still needs a lot of strength and hard work to ammend the damage he has done to her. He quickly took a cold shower to rest his desire and Tony was already waiting to pick him up. Meanwhile, Frieze was in the car with Peter and Alex wondering why did Alex park the car in Idri''s company''s parking lot. Seeing his office, she felt even more irritated as it reminded her of today''s show at home. "We are gettingte for office. Why are we here?" Frieze asked with curiosity. Peter replied before Alex could speak, "This is our office. We just got transferred. Your first day here. We are in our third day of work." "Transferred? What transfer?" Alex reminded her, "Don''t you remember in the hospital I told you that your husband is our new boss. He transferred our role to this office. Simple. Now, let''s go before we get toote." This is from N?velDrama.Org. Frieze didn''t move a muscle. She was frowning. She dropped a text to Idri, "You transferred me just because you are my boss now? I hate you." Idri was drying his hair when he heard a beep from his phone. He paused to look and saw her text. He replied instantly to her, "This was my n right before marriage. Since you are not obedient, I need to take decisions for us you see. See you soon my love." As she got out of the car and entered the elevator, she read the text from him. Her hand turned into a fist immediately. Peter headed to his office while Alex showed her the new office where she would be working. She was surprised to see that the door Alex opened for her to enter is Idri''s office. She had questioning eyes and Alex was not ready to answer yet. She did not speak either and entered his office. Twodies stood there with bouquet of flowers and a box of choctes weing her to the office. One of them greeted. "Wee Mrs.Frieze. We are really happy to finally see our Boss''s wife. Happy working in the company." "Nice to meet you. If there''s anything please do let us know. Just dial 304 from the inte, we will be here at your service." She was still surprised as thedies gestured her towards a desk opposite Idri''s desk. It was exactly simr to his cab furniture. Thedies handed her the flowers and choctes and left. Things were happening too fast and she did not understand whatever was happening right in front of her. Alex finally broke his silence and rified, "So you see. Hope you like your new office that you will be sharing with your husband and our boss. You are his new personal assistant." Frieze eyes opened wide, "What? You can''t be serious. How can my role just change without my concern plus am not interested to be his assistant. I don''t want that man around me." "I understand but you have your contract of one and a half years more. Just adjust for this period and you can very well resign. Don''t worry. It is just for a short while." As she was going to say something to him, Idri opened the door and entered with a broad smile. He patted Alex''s shoulder "Good Job. Thank you for giving my wife somepany while I was away. You can get to work now. I can handle her." Alex gave a mischievous smile to him and said while looking at Frieze, "She is all yours." Frieze bit her lips and gave a sharp look at Alex. She will remember this. He set her up. Alex''s smile was gone and quickly strode back to his office. Idri walked close to her and spoke innocently, "Hope you like our office darling. You can''t break the contract and pay me 20 million. I have made a few amendments to the contract of yours. You will work here for two years and previous work''s in the old company does not count under this two year period. This also means you are no way going out of my sight. You can fantasize me all day long you know." Frieze got angry and pointed her finger at him while she spoke, "You cannot decide things for me. I don''t want to work with you. You are a dictator. I didn''t know you will be like this. The Idri I knew was a gentleman." Idri felt a sharp knife hit his heart. He cleared his throat and she can see his sadness in his eyes but ignored itpletely turning her back towards him. Idri kept calm, came back to his senses, "If you vite the contract, 20 million is thepensation. You can''t ask your parents as your dad is already paying your mom''s fees. It is a big amount for him. My parents will no way help since their money is in the form of a family ount. Simon is saving for his future children. You cannot be selfish right. The only option is to work as per the contract obediently." He walked closer to her hugging her from the back, "Mr. Kane has retired. You need to handle the shoping center project and it is already on papers. Any problem with the project, the investors wille for you. This also means there could be additionalpensation apart from the 20 million." She looked at him with hatred. "Money is power and you are ying with me using your wealth. I hate the day I met you." She pressed her lips in anger. "Darling, why did you leave me. We could had talked through and even now you are being a stubborn wild cat. Let''s be in peace with each other alright. Don''t hate me so much. All I want is mad love from you." He starts kissing her neck. The next moment she releases herself from his grip and walks to the desk to sit down holding her forehead with her hand. She is clueless about what to do. Idri turned to her and spoke calmly, "The shopping center documents are in your drawer. The details are mentioned and let me know in case of any doubt. The investor meeting is next week. You should be ready with the details by then. Teresa is pregnant. Simon is off for the day. Maybe you can call her upter in the afternoon and check on her health. She was not feeling wellst night." Onest look at her, seeing her still without any response, he prepares a cup of coffee and leaves it on her desk. He walks up to his desk and begins reading the files in front of her ncing at her beautiful face from time to time. Chapter 50: Annoyed Chapter 50: Annoyed Frieze.... This man has gone crazy. Just crossed his limits. He stays in my house without my permission and now, bought my previouspany. He is shameless. I cannot believe this is the same guy who gave me divorce papers and left me for his ex-girlfriend. Now he is just pestering me in the most cheapest way he can. What is wrong with him? Has he fallen in love with me again? Is he just hoping that I will ept him back in my life if he is around me 24x7? He changed my career root. I want to manage work under human resources and not some shopping center. When did Mr. Kane reach the retirement age? As far as I know, I remember he still had some eight years for retirement. I hope this crazy man in front of me didn''t kill him. Maybe he has given him good perks and luxury since he is soon going to be his father inw after he marries Dori. A father in law working under his son inw as a personal assistant won''t feel that great I guess. It is none of my concern what he does. The only thing is, I want him out of my life. I was pretty upset and the break down was something I did not expect. I didn''t even realise how emotionally stressed I was until the doctor in the hospital mentioned. I cannot go through that again. I am fine now but I am all the more angry at my so called job, the contract and this husband flirting with me all the time. If we had a good rtionship, his flirtyments used to make meugh and blush at the same time. Now things are different. I hate the man in front of me. I have started to get irritated with his flirting tone. He better stop pestering me. Oh I remember him telling me about Teresa. I feel guilty asking about the divorce papers to Simon. Without even bothering in the kind of situation he is in, I selfishly just ordered him to send the divorce papers. Let me apologize and drop him a text ''Hey Simon, hope Teresa is fine. I am sorry about bringing up my matter without pondering about how well you guys have been. Congrattions to both of you on your pregnancy.''Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Idri kept looking at her from time to time but she was engrossed with her business like he did not exist in the room. He was irritated seeing his wife not paying attention to him. He calls out to her after minutes of thinking, "Hey wifey, won''t you make your husband a cup of coffee? I made you a cup of coffee. Now it''s your turn." He gave her a mischievous smile. She ignored himpletely. After a while, she spoke, "I didn''t tell you to make me coffee. Please get your ass up and make it yourself. I am not here to make coffee for you. It is not mentioned in the contract." Heughs hearing her speak. He has already dissolved the contract but she is clueless about it and he will continue to ckmail her. He needs to get her back by whatever means. He speaks confidently, "As long as you be a good wife and be kind to me, I will cancel the contract at least thepensation amount of breaking the contract." Her eyes lit hearing this. She starts thinking in her mind, ''He is so irritating and annoying. What does he want from me? He is smart ass. Now I know how he became a CEO. I need to be a good wife to leave thepany. So unprofessional. He cannot mix his marriage to work. This is not fair. I hate him. I will just work well on this project and give my resignation as making the project sessful. That is all I can do.'' She feels bad about the coffee next to her. Her heart softens. She stands up and walks up to the coffee machine preparing a cup. She walked up to his table and ced the cup next to hisptop. She didn''t look at him and turned to go back to her desk. Her hand was grabbed by him and he pulled her towards him. He slowly stood up and lifted her face directly looking into her eyes. He pulled her closer and locked both her hands behind her back. She agitated and tried to release herself. He kissed her lips tasting them. She could feel his breath. She froze on the spot. She came back to her senses and moved her face away. He did not release her hands. She stepped on his shoes so that he leaves her but he continues to look deep into her eyes. A broad smile appears on his face and her face turns pale the moment he releases her hand. "It was my way of thanking my wife for making me coffee." Her palm turns into a fist. He looks at him angrily and turns away without saying anything. He sits back at his chair too. He is amused by the way she shivered just like she always did whenever he kissed her during their time as a happy couple. He is happy that she still feels hot and froze with his passionate kisses. Her nervous face tells it all although she tries to hide. Frieze was lost in thoughts, ''Did he just kiss me? How dare he? There was a time these kisses used to make me forget the world. Now I feel disgusted. He is so passionate when ites to kissing. He must have gone crazy. If his girlfriendes to know what he has been doingtely, she will kill me instead for sure.'' A beep in her phone distracted her. Idri''s attention too went to her phone''s beep message. It was from Simon, it read, "Hey Frieze. Wee to the team. Hope you like the office set up. Idri personalized everything for you. Thank you for your wishes. You want toe home and have a woman to woman chat with Teresa? She is really nervous about the pregnancy as this is the first time." Idri walked up to her with curiosity and his eyes questioned her about the text messages. She saw her busy with her phone even before making coffee. She spoke, "It is not some lover of mine. Stop being so curious. It is Simon asking me toe over to talk and encourage Teresa as she is nervous about her pregnancy." Idri spoke instantly, "Let''s go to their ce after office together. Let him know that we will bring some food on our way to have for dinner." Without paying a thought, Frieze texted as he said. He patted her head like she was a pet and moved back to his workce. "You spoilt my hairstyle. Don''t do that again." She screamed at him with an annoying tone. He giggled and winked at her blowing away a flying kiss towards her. She showed him a fist signalling that she would punch him. Heughed again and taunted, "Get back to work, I am not paying you for fighting with me." She felt embarrassed and turned her attention immediately to the file in front of her. Chapter 51: A Baby? Chapter 51: A Baby? They did not speak with each other. She waspletely engrossed in reading the file in front of her. She was hoping toplete at least thirty percent of the reading and also understand the financial analysis for it. However, the report was longer than she thought. Idri frowned from time to time for being ignored by her whole time. She even refused to have lunch and so he had to feed her. When she refused to be fed by her, he quickly pulled her closer and kissed her passionately until she agreed to be obedient. His force on her is something she could not match. Also, she was hungry too. Alex and Peter went on a lunch date and she had no room to join them at any cost. Simon was at home with Teresa taking care of her. She was totally stuck with her husband and she felt as if the whole universe is conspiring against her. When she was leaving him and his mansion, she felt all were friends there by her side. Now, that this person is pestering her, it seems like everyone is favoring him and she has beenpletely left alone by his side. It was already 5 PM when Idri naturally walked up to her and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. We need to go to Simon and Teresa¡¯s house. She is a little demotivated, it will be great if you give her some courage during her pregnancy.¡± ¡°I will try my best.¡± She closes her file immediately and picks her phone as well as her bag to leave. She forgets to turn off the officeptop. Noticing this, he seductively moves towards her. Thinking he would kiss her again like in the afternoon, she looks away. He bends down and her beats faster. He could already feel the nervousness in her and he smiles wide. He shuts down herptop and stands up setting his coat. She shockingly looks at him and turns to theptop which is now switched off. She realizes what he did and she is all embarrassed. He excitingly speaks, ¡°What were you thinking? I was just switching off yourptop that you forget. You really think dirty my wife. At least my influence is working on you.¡± Heughs and she shows him a fist signaling danger. Heughs, ¡°Now let¡¯s go. If we end up making love here, we will reach their ce only tomorrow.¡± Her face instantly turns red and rushes out of the office. He runs after her stillughing at her nervous shy reaction. She turns to see if he ising too, he mischievously smiles and she squints her eyes looking at her. The rest of the office people smile looking at their cute exchanges. No one is aware of the divorce except theirmon friends that also includes Alex and Peter now. Idri had another n on mind. They both settle themselves in the car and he proposes the idea that they go home first to change. She does not find anything unusual in the idea and agrees. He smiles at her na?ve nature who is clueless what he is up to. He drives very slowly and she already looks irritated with his slow drive. She turns to him, ¡°Why are you driving so slow? You were the one talking about beingte right? I left my work midway.¡± ¡°Chill. I have brought some things for Simon and Teresa. Make sure you collect them from the living room on our way there since it is our child¡¯s elder sibling.¡± She screamed in shock, ¡°What? Who is our child?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Isn¡¯t it natural for a married couple to have a child? I mean not now. When you are ready, I will get you ready.¡± He winks at her. ¡°Why are you shameless?¡± ¡°I am asking my wife to give me a baby. You cannot get pregnant by yourself. Why are you shy? You will need me anyway.¡± She is clueless. ¡°We are divorced. No baby happening.¡± She looks away looking outside the window with a sad smile spread across her face. She feels hurt from the inside but y it cool. Idri¡¯s face turns dark hearing her. He doesn¡¯t say anything but speeds his car. The fifteen minutes¡¯ drive bes only five minutes. They did not speak to each other as they head home. Both of their mood is off now. He takes the keys of her house from his pocket that Tony handed him before he was driving back home with Frieze. The key chain had both of their names carved in between a heart. It was a wooden key chain and their names were engraved on it. As he opened the door, Fenzie could only notice the key chain and stood there dumbstruck. He ced the keys on the side table and walked inside the room to freshen up. Meanwhile, Fenzie picks up the key chain and looks at it closely. Her heart skips a beat. He loudly bangs the door of the washroom and she could guess he is angry for what she said in the car. She does not feel guilty for what she said as she knows it is the truth. She ces the key chain back where he left it. She goes to the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee to refresh her mind. She prepares an extra cup for Idri too although she did not want to. But, hospitality is something that is in her nature as she thinks he is a guest in her house now. As she ces both the cups on the table and waits for him to join her, she sees a yellow envelope on the table. Her heart sank as she thought it was the divorce papers that she has been waiting for. She thought to herself, ¡®why are you nervous? Open the envelope and read it. Didn¡¯t you desperately wait for the stamped divorce papers?¡¯ She sighed and her hands were shaking as she picked up the envelope. She slowly took out the papers while her heart seemed to be crushed inside her chest. Her eyes open wide as she read through the paper. It was an agreement of property sale deed. The house she rented out is now hers. Idri brought the house for her and she could keep the house as her own asset for the rest of her life. As she seriously read through each and every word on the paper, Idri stood there noticing her astonishment. He clears his throat grabbing her attention towards him and she wait to hear for an exnation. He sits on the table, picks up his coffee mug and takes a sip while his eyes glued to her beautiful face. ¡°Happy? It is my birthday gift to you. Since you like this house so much, I brought it for you as a gift. I feel it is too small but I still think it is cute. This could be our breakaway home whenever we feel like.¡± She did not say anything. She lookedpletely lost. Seeing her so silent, he continued, ¡°We are not divorced yet. You are still my wife. I am still your husband. Let¡¯s stay in peace. It hurts when you are so cold with me. I want my old love back.¡± She still didn¡¯t say anything. She had already nned her life without him and she has already left thinking they are divorce. Shees back to her senses and an eerie air of tension exists in the kitchen. She clears her throat and finally speaks, ¡°I could see some food freshly prepared today on the kitchen b. Did you ask someone to cook it?¡± He was expecting to her something else from her but was disappointed at her ignorance. After a few minutes he finally spoke, ¡°I cooked it. We can take it to Simon¡¯s house and eat there. I cooked enough.¡± She became suspicious. She certainly knew he was lying as he reached office right after thirty minutes in the morning today and the food is still hot which could mean that it has been prepared only an hour ago. He was with her throughout her time in office ncing at her from time to time which made her feel like a prisoner being watched by a guard for the fear of running away. She folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at him questionably. He pretended to be innocent, ¡°What is that look for?¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You are such a liar. The food is still hot. When did youe home and cook? You were with me whole time in office guarding me like a prisoner as if I will run away if you leave me for a moment. You cannot lie to me did you forget?¡± He starts sweating even though he just took a quick shower. He rolls his eyes at her and smiles giving up seeing her questioning eyes, ¡°Fine! You caught me. I told Julie toe over and cook for us. Then, I thought to go to Simon¡¯s ce if he needs our support, so I informed her to cook some extra. I left the kitchen in mess as I had to chase you back in office. So, Julie did all the cleaning too.¡± ¡°Next time, don¡¯t try to impress me with your lies.¡± He pouts, ¡°You are so cold towards my feelings, I just cannot help.¡± A silent atmospherees into effect and they look at each other¡¯s eyes. A phone ring interrupts them. It is from Simon. He reluctantly picks it up and Frieze realizing what just happened, she walks away into her room to change. ¡°Yes Dude. You just interrupted my romantic moment. Why are you calling?¡± ¡°Excuse me? Frieze is too angry to be romantic with you. You are not there yet. Did you not say that you will be here by 6PM? I am checking in case you have forgotten.¡± ¡°No I have not. We just came home to change. She is melting. I somehow feel that. I am hopeful I can win her back. I saw the love that I saw for the first time ever.¡± ¡°Keep trying dude. Come over soon. We can talk here. Do not annoy her. If you hurt my childhood friend again, I will surelymit murder.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t. I was an asshole. I have fallen and learnt my lesson. She is my life. I am nothing without her.¡± ¡°Good that you finally realize that. See youter.¡± ¡°See you. Thanks man.¡± They both hung up. He screams at Fenzie from the kitchen, ¡°Simon called and have asked us toe soon. Get ready fast darling.¡± She replies robotically, ¡°10 minutes and I am done Sir.¡± He giggles at her tone and licks his lips imagining her together with him all over again. Chapter 52 Shivers! Chapter 52 Shivers! Frieze dresses herself up into a in peach color dress that reaches slightly above her knees. The color perfectly suits her skin and her hair is left untied that reaches up to her waist. Her curls are defined and makes her look like a doll. She matches it with a pair of white heels. Shees out with her phone and stands near her room¡¯s door. Seeing him engrossed in his phone, she fakes a cough, ¡°I am ready. We can go now.¡± She sessfully gets his attention. He stares at her and says nothing. He scans her from top to bottom and something under his pants gets him sweating. ¡°Are you listening to me? We are gettingte.¡± She walks up to him waving her hand in front of her face and he smiles trying to look into her eyes. ¡°I am going to have a difficult time tonight.¡± Idri said dreamingly. ¡°Sorry? What did you just say?¡± Fenzie was confused. ¡°Huh? Nothing. I was just trying to say that you look beautiful. My wife got me cocky at the moment. Shall we?¡± She looks at him angrily. ¡°I meant shall we leave? Simon is waiting for us.¡± Idri says hurriedly before getting scolded by her after seeing her angry face. He picks up the keys and gestures her to go out first and he would lock the door. She murmurs, ¡®It is my house and look who is behaving like the owner.¡¯ She was loud enough for him to hear but he pretended not to listen and mischievously turns to her. He grabs her waist pulling her closer. She could feel something hard pressing on her below her waist. Her face ispletely red while he enjoys her shivers. She tries to escape his hold but every time she is trying to let her loose, he pulls her closer and closer. She is afraid that someone in the neighborhood may see them this way. In the next moment as she looks around, she finds herself leaning against the door and he is kissing her wildly. He runs his fingers through her waist and starts kissing her neck. She moans and he was missing her moans. He realized it and it turned him on even more. While he continues to press his gun against her, she is turned on too. He grabs her butt and squeezes it but does not release her lips. He puts his tongue inside her and she could only embrace it. He moves one of his hand inside her panty just to find her already wet with his little teasing. She was embarrassed. HeText content ? N?velDrama.Org. releases her from his arms and stops kissing. It did not help him get calm but he was happy to realize that her body still wanted him. She still shivers and moans in the same way in the old times. She still submitted to his passionate love and he realized that she still loves him. Frieze stood there motionless. She felt her head spinning and she is panting. She is trying to get her breathing back to normal and breathes harder to let in fresh air into her lungs. He simply watched her and became more adamant to make her love him more. Her hair was already in a mess and her clothes too. She looked towards the house door where the keys were still stuck into the lock. She opens it and goes inside. She sits in the couch still panting and does not look at him at all. He enters too locking the door from inside. He does not say anything. All the answers he was looking for were finally given by her reaction to him. ¡°I will be right back.¡± Idri then walks to the bathroom and does his thing. He finallyes hard thinking of her. He washes his face and grooms himself again. Frieze has already set herself up. She is still feeling shy and embarrassed. ¡°You okay? Let¡¯s go?¡± Idri asked her. She looks down and nods in agreement. They settle in the car and Idri helps her tie her seat belt. She looks at him while he buckles her seat belt and he could already notice himself smiling. They do not speak throughout the drive and they reach Simon¡¯s ce within twenty minutes. They don¡¯t look at each other. They were greeted by Simon at the gate and they greeted him back. He noticed her blushing from time to time as Idri looked at her. Being childhood friends, Simon knew Frieze well. She is too shy and that is something makes her look even more elegant. She cannot hide her shyness and it clearly reflects in her eyes since they have always been so expressive. Simon spreads his arms on both of their shoulders and takes them inside the house. Simon points at the bedroom and says to Frieze, ¡°Teresa is inside. She is resting. She is waiting for you. You can go in and have some gossip betweendies.¡± He winks at her. She nods and walks up to her room. Meanwhile, Simon holds him at the back and walks him to the bar area in the living room. Chapter 53: Teresa Says It All Chapter 53: Teresa Says It All Frieze enters Teresa room. Seeing the pregnantdy in front of her, she smiles with joy. Her mood lifts up instantly after seeing her bright face. She hugs her tight and Teresa hugs her back like she was longing for it. ¡°Congrattions! I am so happy for you. I am sorry that I could note earlier. Idri told me about you today.¡± ¡°You have been going through a lot already. Your married life is already stressful. I didn¡¯t want to trouble you anyway.¡± ¡°So, if Idri would not have told me, I would have never known. How mean!¡± ¡°I am sorry. I will tell you everything from now on that rtes to my pregnancy. Now cheer up.¡± ¡°Alright. Any help you need; I will just be a call away. How are you feeling?¡± ¡°Well, when I found out I was pregnant, I actually freaked out. I am not sure if am ready but this baby inside me already seems like my own.¡± ¡°It is inside you and so obviously it¡¯s your own. You are some.¡± ¡°Oh God! Stop being logical. I meant I could already feel motherhood. The feelings are just so strong you know. I am nervous. I have 8 months to go and I feel all the bodily changes you know. I am gaining weight, I feel skin dryness and dizzy too at times. I am hungry and craving for yummy food like all the time. At the same time, I am having nausea.¡± ¡°Haha¡­ Wee to the world of pregnancy. You should cherish every moment and motherhood is just great. I will be the godmother.¡± ¡°Yes, a strong godmother.¡± She smiles at her. She continues, ¡°He or she will be your child¡¯s elder sibling too.¡±This is from N?velDrama.Org. The smile on Frieze¡¯s face goes away. Teresa could see the sadness in her eyes. She cups her hands in hers and asks, ¡°How is everything between you and Idri? I have heard from Simon that he is really trying hard to have you back.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what am I supposed to do. He is so clingy that I am not even getting time to sit alone and think through. He just does not leave me alone both at office and at home. The only time I am alone is in the washroom I guess.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He will start following you there too.¡± ¡°Teresa, stop! I am confused and super serious at the moment. All of you really talk shameless.¡± ¡°Birds of same feather always flock together.¡± She summarizes her everything that has been happening including today¡¯s intimate scene right outside their house beforeing over to her house. Teresa¡¯s eyes are open wide, ¡°Did he just enter your panty?¡± ¡°He did not, just the hands. I was wet by then. So awkward. The most embarrassing moment of my life. I am not sure how I could not control his intimacy.¡± She pouts sadly. ¡°Why on earth will you control love making in the first ce? He is still your husband. He very much loves you as you love him. I could notice his love for you. When you left his house, he went insane. To top it all, the hospitalization. While youy in the hospital bed unconscious, he was there in the hospital as the attendant. Do you know this?¡± ¡°What? I thought Rose was there with me.¡± ¡°Nope. He was there spending sleepless nights. He was even talking to you with tears in his eyes while you were inatose state. He regrets what he did. He is heartbroken and I believe it is much more than yours. He broke your heart but his is worst when guilt hovers the broken heart.¡± Frieze froze and was consumed in thoughts. She was clueless what should be her next step. ¡°What happened to Dori? Oh Ipletely forgot about her.¡± ¡°Idri bankrupt her. She was already dating several men and enjoying loads of one night stands with many models and fashion designers in her industry. She has also been involved in murder of one female designer from whom she stole the designs. As she was found guilty of idea theft, before she could sue her, she paid some handsome money to get her killed. However, she made it more like an ident.¡± ¡°What? Is this true? Where have I been that I don¡¯t know anything?¡± ¡°That is because Dori is not that popr. She tried to use Idri for fame as well as money you see. She never had ns to be with him. She wanted to marry and get divorced to receive all the alimony. Do you know she has hysteria?¡± ¡°It is too much news to bare. Your child is listening too.¡± ¡°I want my child to listen so that as he or she grows up, they will be careful from snakes like Dori.¡± ¡°Does Idri know so much about her and then why did he date her while still being married to me?¡± ¡°You are still a kid Frieze. Of course he did not know in the beginning but at the same time he realized that his notion of dating her was just sympathy since he felt he is the one who ditched her. After you left his house, he realized that he cannot live without you. He knew it from before that you are the only one in his heart.¡± ¡°This cannot be true. He gave me divorce papers to sign.¡± ¡°He did not want to sign them. He was as usual provoked by Dori. When you signed the papers without any emotions, he was actually hurt when Simon told him about it.¡± ¡°So what happens to Dori now? She hasmitted theft, murder, hysteria and bankruptcy.¡± ¡°She is going to be behind bars very soon. Idri is not going to let her escape her sins so soon.¡± ¡°I thought he was a smart ass but he got fooled himself.¡± ¡°Because he is a nice person. He really loves you. He was at his worst when you started ignoring him right from the days in his mansion. I think everyone gets a chance to repent and correct their mistakes.¡± Frieze had tears rolling down her cheeks and Teresa is quick to wiping them. She smiles at her and hugs her. She breathes heavily and speaks, ¡°I need some time though. My life has be a roller coaster at the moment. What happened to those divorce papers?¡± ¡°Those papers? He just burnt it after tearing it into pieces. Good that you left his home. He deserved the terrible feeling he had in his heart.¡± Chapter 54 A Second Chance Chapter 54 A Second Chance Teresa continue to speak as Frieze already zones out. "Life is too short to keep holding on to the wrongs. He is regretting. He is clinging to you because he has the fear of losing you if at all he goes away from you. You sent him away for some staycation remember? He was reluctant to go and was completely pissed at the hotel. He even ended up arguing with Simon that day when he mentioned about the divorce." Noticing Frieze not being attentive, she shakes her body "Are you listening to me?" "Huh? Were you saying something? I am sorry. It''s so much to take you know. I can''t think straight. I really need to ponder well about a second chance. It is not that easy you know." "I get it. Take your time. There is no hurry. But, think of him. I know you since you were in school right. I will not misguide you." "I will think about it. Did I tell you that the apartment is in my name? Idri bought that apartment in my name." "OMG!" Teresa spoke in excitement. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. "I am not sure why he did that." "You are so boring. You have literally given your heart and soul into the interiors. Obviously he would buy it for you. He is your husband. At least you will save your sry as savings although Idri has enough. But, I know you like being financially independent." "Too serious a discussion. Can we talk something else please? My head will explode otherwise." "I have an idea. Let''s watch my wedding video? We can pass good time and gossip on the clothes and the amount of food on people''s te." Frieze squinted her eyes. "We can skip food part." Teresa burst intoughter and could be heard by Simon and Idri outside. Both men are busy talking about the turnings happening in their lives. They talk like old friends who are hanging out after a long time. Simon looks down at his wine ss and speaks, "How is your rtionship with Frieze now? Dare to hurt her, I will kill you." "She is stubborn and she is not cooperating at all. I have to force some obedience into her in bizarre ways. But the more she resists me, the more I want to go close to her." "Don''t ruin her personal space in the process. You need to leave her alone at times to actually think through the events that are happening in her life." "I know that but I am too scared to death that she will go away somewhere and I cannot even find her." "It is good that you don''t take her love for granted anymore. You did not suffer or struggle for love and marriage. It''s nice to see you finally struggle for true love. Haha.." "What do you mean? As if you worked hard for so called true love." "Really? Remember the pain I went through until I was finally able to marry Teresa? I had to literally beg the universe to help me marry her." "Yeah yeah I remember everything. This is why I am seeking guidance from you to get my love back. She loves me and I know it clearly but heartbroken. If only I could mend her heart and epts me back." He sadly looks down on the floor pressing his lips out of disappointment. "Don''t give up yet. She is kind hearted. She will definitely think of giving you a second chance. She just needs some time. Did you tell her about Dori?" "About what?" "Her crimes and hysteria?" "She doesn''t talk to me. How on earth will I tell anything. Everytime I tried to talk or get close, she gives me the look of a monster." He rolls his eyes and pats his shoulders to console himself. "Well you deserve that too." Simon winks as he teases him. "Are you my friend or my enemy? I am confused." "I am your wife''s older brother like. I am mocking my brother inw." "That is why you have an ass." "Bigger one than yours. Anyways, it is time for dinner. I need to make sure Teresa eats on time." Simon and Idri walks into the room where Teresa and Frieze chatted happily like teenage girls. They walked forward but got ignored. Both the men frowned and looked at each other with disappointment. They did not even care to nce at them. Simon clears his throat and fakes loud cough, "It is time for dinner." Idri goes up to the connection board and switches off the television. Simon says again, "It is time for dinner." Idri proudly smiles as the ladies looks at him angrily. They reluctantly stands up and Frieze holds her hand walking her up to the dining area. Their husbands followed after them. Luther, the housekeeper serves the dinner that has been brought by Idri and Frieze from home. Additionally, since Teresa was craving for Chinese food, Luther supervised the cook to prepare manchurian balls for her. They chatted during the dinner like old college friends after a long time. They forgot all the worries and Teresa suggested, "We should really do this often you know. This get together thing. I feel so happy." Idri nodded and spoke, "Yes we can. It has been really long that we gathered this way. Teresa, you may not have time in the future for the get together as you will be busy running after your twins." "Twins?" Simon interrupted, "We are having twins Teresa. I didn''t want to tell you earlier since you were already so worried about the pregnancy." Frieze spoke excitingly, "Woohoo. Eat triple now. Two shares for your twins and one share for yourself. These are godmother orders." Teresa''s eyes became watery but she controlled her tears. Simon kissed her forehead and she kissed him back in his cheek. Idri looked at Frieze andined, "See this is how husband and wife should be. You are always angry at me. You don''t even kiss me." He starts eating leaving her in an embarassing situation. Teresa covers her mouth to hide herugh while Simon extends his arm to pat Idri''s shoulders showing him support. She didn''t know what to say but looked at him angrily. Idriined again, "See. You are angry again. This is what I am talking about." "Will you stopining like a kid? Concentrate on your food. Huh." She ignores him and starts eating. Simon and Teresa keeps quiet too to avoid any arguments. Idri looks at her helplessly and he starts eating too. Chapter 55 Dori Is Dead! Chapter 55 Dori Is Dead! In the other part of the globe, Dori has been admitted to a rehab treating hysteric patients. Her trials are beginning from next month. Her assistant, Mike who was in a rtionship with her spoke all her hidden secrets to reduce the severity of his punishment. Though he will not be given life imprisonment for helping the police trace evidences against her, he will still be behind bars for a few years. He also mentioned about being threatened for murder and career being in danger if he refused to sleep with her. She has ended the career of several models and have even got one of the promising female fashion designers murdered after she was featured in a fashion magazine instead of her. She has also stolen several designs and even bribed people to sell their designs to her. The source of money was her own father, Mr. Kane. Since he decided to move overseas to his new family and second wife, Idri did not take any action against him. Irrespective of spoiling Dori with money, he knew that he was clueless about her actions. Moreover, he has worked in hispany as a loyal employee. Now, that Mr. Kane has left everything behind, he has also abandoned Dori. If at all Dori knew that he had a second family, they would had been killed by now. The only person the police could contact since Mr. Kane was nowhere to be traced was her mother, Mr. Kane¡¯s first wife. She denied her responsibility iming that the custody was intentionally given to her father because she has a career to look after. She always considered her career to be her utmost priority. When Dori requested her to hire awyer for her and fight her case, she refused to help her as she did not want unnecessary media attention in turn affecting her cosmetic industry. Dori got depressed eventually finding no support from her own parents. She med herself for not giving them enough time or caring about them. The only times she would remember them was whenever she needed money. Now that her guilt ovees her, she realizes her mistake. Herst hope was Idri but his calls never went through. She even tried to dial his number from a phone booth but it was disconnected. It has been a month already but she could not have enough money to return to the bankers. They have been extending her deadline from past few days but all she nned was to run away. She gave away all her money that she saved and even gave away Mike¡¯s money by promising his bail. However, she did not help him get released from the prison but used it to pay a quarter to the bankers. He felt ditched and that was how he decided to cooperate with the cops to help them find the evidences of murder and theft against her. The cops put her into treatment for depression and soon, she was diagnosed with hysteria. She is undergoing rehabilitation under the supervision of the legal authorities. The bank has relieved her from usations of bankruptcy due to her mental illness. Few days passed and she could feel the loneliness around her. She is worried about the punishment that will be legally enforced on her once she recovers and goes back to the prison. Mike is also against her now and she feels the whole world has conspired against her. Sumb to depression, she eventually starts forming suicidal thoughts and ns to kill herself. She has attempted to kill herself several times in prison and she was moved to a counseling center where she lives. As Idri and Fenzie walks back from office one day, Idri receives a phone call from Tony. A smile spreads across Idri¡¯s face when he hears the news of Dori¡¯s death. He spoke over the phone robotically, ¡°Dori was undergoing treatment in a rehab as you know. Today evening, she jumped off her room that was on the seventh floor. By the time, she was sent to the hospital, she was already dered dead. She has been suffering from depression and hysteria since her college days. She has been hiding her illness and secretly seeking treatment while she ran away to California when you came to K city then. Her fashion designing was a part of her therapy but she used several evil means to climb the top and even used her mother¡¯s name for fame. In those three years where she was not out of sight, she actually moved out for her treatment. Mr. Kane paid all her medical expenses for three years. This is all the information I have for her and the rest you know it already.¡± Idri looked satisfied with the information he gathered. Her death did not move him at all. He texted Mr. Kane informing and apologizing for his loss. Only Idri had his secret number and all the other phone numbers were cancelled. Mr. Kane received the news andcked emotions too. However, he did request Idri to give her a good funeral and he agreed to it. Tony flew to California to take care of the funeral proceedings the other day. He had no interest to see her for thest time. Dori¡¯s mother on the news yed the victim to gain sympathy from her followers using her daughter¡¯s death as a trump card. Tony frowned as he saw the news update on his phone after keeping the phone. After Dori rted instructions were sorted and the rest of the mess was cleaned, Idri threw his phone reluctantly on the other side of the sofa. Seeing him so tired yet proud at his aplishment, she asked him, ¡°What makes you smile so much? What happened to Dori?¡± ¡°She jumped off the rehab building and killed herself.¡± ¡°Are you not sad?¡± ¡°She is a murderer, she ended career of several, she took huge loan from banks but never repaid, she was into depression and also diagnosed with hysteria.¡± ¡°That is not the answer to my question.¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°That home wrecker is now dead. Forget about her and think about us.¡± She pursed her lips but refrained from saying anything. He looked at her with questioning eyes, ¡°Think about us. I am still waiting for you in my heart.¡± He gave a sad smile to her and reluctantly walked out of the house with his coat. He rode to his mansion where Rose and David were waiting for him to know his situation with Fenzie plus he needed a little more mental support to tolerate her coldness. He was getting emotionally drowned and she could already feel by the sadness in his eyes. She does not say anything but looks at him dragging himself out of the house. Chapter 56 She Will Be Back Chapter 56 She Will Be Back Frieze saw him walking out. She could guess he was leaving. She stops him midway, "Where are you going?" He looks at her with suprise. After a long time she seems to be asking a question like a decent person without temper or attitude. He replies sadly, "You don''t let me stay here. So I am going to the mansion to sleep. I am getting tired of doing things forcefully." "You forgot your phone on the sofa. Take it with you." He looks towards the sofa and walks up to it picking it up. A surge of disappointment spreads across his face. He was expecting her to stop him from leaving but nothing as such happened. He looks at her and speaks, "Rose and David are waiting for me back home. Would you like to meet them? You have not seen them ever since you left." Thinking about her visit to them, she feels reluctant to enter the mansion again that she left a month ago. She will be too heartbroken all over again if the memories of the past surrounds her. After a moment of silence, she denies finally, "I will invite them here next week and I can meet them. You can go ahead. Convey my regards to them." "I will. Bye." She only nods and closes the door behind him as he moves out. She is already missing him and the house feels deste all of a sudden. Her heart feels empty too and she drags herself to the sofa and layzily remembering whatever she has been going through. On the other side, Idri calls Simon who picks up cranky as he slept early, "Why are you calling to disturb my sleep?" "I am not interested to disturb your sleep. I am going to stay in the mansion today." "What? Why? Where is Frieze? What did you do again?" "Aye! Why do you see me as her enemy? People make mistakes okay. I am already getting punished enough for the mistake Imitted." "Huh. Speak fast before my eyes close again." "I left her alone in the apartment so that she can have her personal space to think through as you suggested." "Wow you are listening to me for the first time in your life." "Shutup!" Idri rolls his eyes and continues, "I don''t want to leave her alone and without her, I am sure am not getting any sleep tonight. But, I think you are right." "She will not ept you back quickly but she will definitely. I can still see her love for you. You got to be patient with her bro." "I will. I need to drive back to the mansion. Mom and Dad are waiting for me. It is alreadyte." This is from N?velDrama.Org. "Good Night my friend." "Thanks man. Good Night." He drives the car silently still lost in thought. David stands outside the gate with the security waiting for his son. A light from afar makes him squint his eyes. As the car approaches, he realises his son is already here. David gets disappointed seeing his condition. He looks thinner and have dark circles under his eyes. His face is pale and he could guess not all is well with his beloved. He smiles at the figure in front of him giving him a tight hug. Idri holds him and does not release himself from the hug. He could feel his broken heart in an instant. He tells him, "It is good to see you son after a long time. Your mom is waiting for you." He finally let''s go of David. "I am sorry to keep you waiting this long. It is time for you two to sleep." "When I know my son will not get sleep tonight away from someone, we can sacrifice a few hours for you." He only gives a sad smile at him. David extends his hand signalling him to walk into the mansion. He follows him inside. Rose sits on the couch and immediately rushes to him as she sees her son. She could not control her tears as they run down her cheeks. He rubs them off with his bare hands and pulls her into a hug. She speaks in his ears, "I am proud of you my son. Win her back and don''t you think of giving up." Saying this she releases him from the embrace. Idri let''s go of a heavy sigh and tells them, "She has conveyed her regards to you both. She will invite you both for lunch next week. Hope you will be free." "We would love to meet you both at her house." David says excitingly patting his back. Rose curiously asks him, "Does she talk to you?" Idri sadly looks at her, "Well, I am not sure. She is always angry at me. She doesn''t talk. I try to but she just cuts me off with her attitude." Rose gives him a wide smile, "That is what every wife does. She is angry at you and she still loves you. She is rightfully showing her attitude to her husband." Idri looked at her disappointed, "Did you teach her to do that? She is spoilt enough." "We just gossip. I don''t have to teach her anything." David suspiciously asks his wife, "Have you been texting hertely? Do you mind if I check your phone? I am doubting you bothdies are conspiring against my son to make him more miserable." "Excuse me Mr. Husband. You don''t have to know wife gossips. I didn''t teach her anything. She is just still hurt and broken." David still did not look convinced at her exnation. He turns to his son and assures him, "Women are difficult species I tell you. You cannot guess their emotions and their actions. They say something but will so something else. Veryplicated." Idri giggles remembering the nights when she holds him while being asleep and denies in the morning that she is not interested to even touch him. Seeing himugh all by himself, David chuckles and teases, "Somebody is already in memorynd or dreand." Rose hits David on his shoulders and he acts out a dramatically "Ouch" that brings Idri back to the present. He stops smiling as he starts feeling awkward at the moment. He clears his throat and speaks, "I will go to my room and freshen up. Thank you for being there for me and grateful for your forgiveness. I have been a bastard." Rose cups his hands on his face, "Everyone makes mistakes and realising it and moreover correcting it, is what makes one the greatest. We are with you. She will be back to you soon." David gives him reassuring smile and he smiles back at both. He walks into his room while his parents see him walk away as they embrace each other. Chapter 57: Missing Him Chapter 57: Missing Him Frieze first person.... The day he left for his mansion, it has been a week now already that he has mote back to stay here. He is a rich guy. I am sure this small house will definitely not liked by him. Maybe that is why he left. I meet him in office though and often make excuses to talk to him by asking doubts about the shopping center project. The construction is going great and seems like Mr. Kane haspleted in assisting the construction n to maximum. In the next three months, the entire construction will be completed and then I will get busier than ever with the interiors. Idri has already taken me to the site several times and I have already nned a few of the interiors in my mind. The finalpletion of the construction after three months should give me more liberty and freedom for nning practically. Coming back to my husband, Rose and David had informed that the divorce has been cancelled. He does not want to divorce me anymore. I wish he said to me about it directly. He is so secretive and doing so many things behind my back. He should tell me everything but here I am hearing things about my husband from others. I get a new piece of news everyday about him. He clears all the project rted doubts and I still wait for a few seconds hoping he would stop me and talk to me about things at a personal level. He does not. He used to share everything with me once upon a time. Maybe he was selective about whatever he shared with me. I am not sure. The destruction of Dori, cancetion of divorce and disappearance of Mr. Kane, the early retirement, etc it is a lot for me to take. I feel everything is rted to me. However, I don''t know anything in particr until the people around me tells me in summary. We do eat together. Hees home for breakfast and I will keep it ready before he arrives. I had no idea he would love my food so much. I remember the next day when he came home early morning after meeting his parents, he asked with curiosity, "You cooked? Are you sure? I think it is some takeaway. Don''t try to lie to your husband." All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. "I cooked okay. Just eat. It is better than outside food and healthier." I made tofu for him clubbed with cheese toast. I checked on the calories for each of the recipe too and it is a perfect one to start with. The right amount of fats, the right amount of proteins along with an ABC juice. ABC is apple, beetroot and carrot juice. I did add little honey to it since it tastes disgusting. Since, it is healthy and Idri looks so weak nowadays with all that puffed eyes, I have be a fitness freak myself. Instead of appreciation, he questioned me in a way that sounded more like mocking, "Did you add some kind of a poison to it to kill me?" "I am worried about your health. You are sick. I am hungry. Shall we eat first and grab some energy to fightter?" He onlyughed and Iughed too. I know he didn''t like the juice. I hated it too but healthy you know. He loved the grilled tofu I prepared for him. Since then, I have been preparing just that since he demanded. He sounded like a mankid to me everytime he demanded tofu for breakfast. Though he doesn''t stay at night in my ce, I am still satisfied with his intentions of having meals with me. I could feel some friendship and understanding building between us. I have forgiven him for sure but I still need time to think through a few things. I miss him every night next to me while I sleep. I miss hugging him. I am habituated. I have Invited Rose and David on Friday for lunch. Though my house is small with only one washroom, I have still ced a request of staying with me for the weekend. I miss them like crazy. They are not just my in- laws but my parents. My mother is doing very well back there and David has informed them that the divorce is cancelled. Was I even asked? Idri is very stubborn. He will do whatever he wants. In office, I could see him slightly cheerful though he stays silent. At least his health ising up. Although I stay worked up with the project he gave me, I want to work as efficiently as Mr. Kane. I did ask him about him but he said that he has retired and moved to the countryside. I could feel that he does not want to know any further details. He was a generous man. Whenever he is, I hope he is all healthy and sorry for his loss of his daughter. I am taking leave on Friday since Idri''s parents areing over. Idri is also taking leave as he insisted upon helping me to cook. He told me to call in Julie to cook but I really want to cook by myself. I have learnt several dishes though and I am all excited to turn on those recipes for my guests. I cannot ask my husband toe and stay with me although am scared to sleep alone at night. It would be very awkward for me. Moreover, I really don''t want him to ask or say something vulgar. You know how he talks by now. This would lead to me getting angry and then I will say something rude to him. I will feel hurt and I will see those sad eyes of his again. I really don''t want all that. I am trying to keep it cool. I am trying to be nice. I am trying but I still need time to ept him. I do catch him looking at me in office but instantly looks away when I catch him looking at me. It reminds me of some college students taking a peaky look at his or her crush in ss. That is so cute of him. Did I just say cute? Yeah that mankid is actually very cute!! Chapter 58: Breakfast Chapter 58: Breakfast Alex and Peter met Idri and Frieze over breakfast. It has been long that they have met Frieze. They requested her to meet alone but Idri will not leave her side and refused to let her go alone with them. Although he is not staying in her apartment anymore, he is still chasing her but still giving her the personal space that she needs as Simon suggested. He is particr about giving personal space only when ites to her thinking about them but not to spend time elsewhere. He would be jealous to see herugh around other men even if they are not interested in her rather thanughing with him like old times. There was awkward silence at the table when all the four sat around a round tea table. Peter was the first to initiate a conversation to relieve the tension in the environment due to the presence of the boss. ¡°Hope you are both good in health. Long time no see.¡± Peter had no idea what to talk about further. He just smiled stupidly at the three. Frieze could feel the awkward vibes too and she replied, ¡°We both are really great. Where did you guys disappear? You don¡¯t let me apany you both for shopping or dine outs anymore.¡± Idri frowns and looks at her, ¡°If you want to go shopping or dine out, you can ask your husband to apany you.¡± Peter and Alex looked at each other and looked even more nervous. Frieze gave him a sharp look at her husband and he sent off a flying kiss towards her instead with a broad smile. He seemed really dangerous to the other two men sitting on the table. The sudden retirement and disappearance of Mr. Kane is much talked about and all the answers rte to Idri. No one would dare to question him or even spy on his actions. She looked away and continued to speak, ¡°How have you been Alex? Why are you so quiet today? I know how much you both talk.¡± Idri interrupts her, ¡°I hope I am not scaring you both with my presence here. I will leave along with my wife.¡± He made it clear that he is not leaving even if they are wishing it dearly from their heart. They don¡¯t say a word but with a blunt smile they suggest to order breakfast quickly. Idri lets her order for him too and a wide smile spread across his face when she realizes that she ordered everything that is his favorite. Alex and Peter also agree to have their boss¡¯s favorite dish. He feels d that she remembers his favorite food. He is sure to certain extent that she will ept her back again one day but as time passes, he is growing more and more depressed. He hopes she can see it. After the waiter takes the order, she turns to Alex and Peter, ¡°Why don¡¯t you twoe home on Friday? David and Rose are coming home for lunch. Idri and I are on leave to prepare the dishes. It will be great if you could join us.¡± They immediately look at Idri for approval. Heughs, ¡°It will be a friendly get together. I will not be your boss at our house. Don¡¯t worry. We will love to have you at our ce. After all, you have helped my woman and stood by her side when I was being an asshole. I owe you both.¡± His sudden change of mood confused the other three. Frieze does have some ns for that day and she needed the help of these two guys. But her n changed when he decided to take leave too and help her with the cooking. When she tried to discuss about it today, he turned up to join them. She was in fact quite early for breakfast than usual but she could not lie to him when he asked where was she going right after the moment she entered the office with him. When she informed himst night that she is going to office earlier than usual and he cane to office at his usual time, she was shocked to see him at the door much earlier than usual to pick her up. Her breakfast hangout got ruined and her Friday n too. She would have to think of another way to execute the n. Idri did sense some kind of suspicion and he was sure that his wife is nning something behind his back especially by the way she is hiding her eyes trying to look elsewhere whenever he tried to question her. When he realized that she came early to breakfast and even Alex and his boyfriend did, he was sure they were up to something. He does not trust them so much because he mes them for helping her leave the house and settle elsewhere. He is still assured that they were the ones who provoked her to leave his mansion and rent an apartment near her office. He wants to keep an eye on them so that they don¡¯t provoke her further to leave him once again. If she didn¡¯t have the support of these two men, she would not have dared to leave the mansion as he knows how timid she is. She had a strong mental support. She didn¡¯t turn to Simon for help as she knew he is close to me. He would inform me sooner orter about her n to leave him and his house. It must be Alex and Peter who gave all the nasty ideas and he cannot trust them. They would end up giving her even more nastier ideas if left free with them alone. He does not want to take a chance. He has already threatened them about losing everything in their life if they help his wife again in fleeing away from him. They will bear the consequences of whatever happens to their rtionship and if it breaks permanently. They are scared too for their lives but are being cooperative with their boss. He transferred both the men to his office mainly to keep an eye on them rather than fulfilling some wish of their promotion. As time passed, it was already an hour. Post breakfast, Alex and Peter left first while leaving Idri and Frieze alone. She looks at him and mocks, ¡°You are a scary man. They ran away because of you. They didn¡¯t even eat well. See.¡± She pointed towards their tes where food was half eaten. ¡°I am scary for everyone except you my darling.¡± He nted a kiss on her cheeks which turned red instantly. She shivered and was left numb. Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°I think we should head back to office. Remember we have clientsing in to decide the n for interiors? We have a site visit to make too during lunch.¡± He frowns at her not so romantic attitude. ¡°Then we go out for a lunch date?¡± ¡°You are so interested to date your wife amidst work. I brought lunch today. I cooked by myself in advance today morning. I brought enough for both of us. Let¡¯s eat that.¡± ¡°That could be called a date too. My wifey bringing food for me. I feel so lucky.¡± He grins. She holds her waist on both the side and looks at him with disgust. ¡°Get your ass up. We need to get back to work.¡± He extends his hand signaling her to pull him to stand up. She signs and holds his hand. He tightens his grip on her hand while holding it and gets up. she tries to release her hand but he does not let it go. She gives him a sharp look and heughs. They walk back to office holding hands like school children walking up to their ssroom. Chapter 59: Friday Is Here Chapter 59: Friday Is Here The week passed by with site visit to the shopping center. It was hectic but Idri apanied her to every visit she made. She was busy with meetings and setting the budget with the finance experts. He massaged her shoulders at times when she was tired and she would just send him away as he tried to take advantage of touching her. She always felt the CEO of thepany was so free. Every time she comined, he justified, ¡°I am paying everyone for work. If I do all the work, why are the employees getting their sries.¡± She wondered the life of an employee could be so difficult who handed all the work to their subordinates. She was happy and luckier to have only one project in hand that was already making her frustrated. Idri on the other hand was proud to see her working so hard on the project. As his wife, she could very well take advantage of handing over some of the project rted work to her subordinates or assistants in her team who are working with her. But, she is working hard focusing on every detail by herself personally and he could already feel the happiness of the subordinates working under her. She is a born leader and it can be clearly seen by her aura at work. Friday finally came in and they had no time but to order grocery online. Idri arrived at her house early morning with breakfast that was prepared by Julie. He already had a duplicate key to her house and so he did not bother to ring the doorbell to wake her up. He ced the food on the table and peeped into her room just to find his woman sleeping with her legs spread all around the bed. Something mischievous struck his mind. He tiptoed to her room and picked up her eyeliner from the dressing table. He slowly opened the cap and created a few marks on her forehead. Not satisfied enough, he even painted her nose ck. She felt something ticklish on her nose and as she rubbed it, the eye liner spread around the rest of her face and even stained her hands. She did not open her eyes still. He still did not feel satisfied at her ck marks on her face. He picked her red lipstick and painted her face making her look like a devil. As he kept the lipstick back on the dressing table, he shook her violently and shouted, ¡°There is a rat in the room. He is crawling over you, wake up.¡± In an instant, she opened her eyes and jumped off her bed. She hugged him the moment she saw him out of fear still breathing heavily. She asked nervously, ¡°Where did the rat go?¡± ¡°What rat? Are you dreaming?¡± Idri smiled at her mischievously. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say a rat is crawling on me?¡± ¡°Haha¡­ I was joooooookkkkiiiinnggggg. I brought breakfast, Julie prepared let¡¯s go and eat. You look the most beautiful today. You have the prettiest look of a millennium.¡± His singing tone made her surprised. He walked out telling her toe to eat soon. As she walked up the mirror and saw her face, her face waspletely covered in ck and red. She shouted from her room, ¡°What did you do to my face? I will kill you.¡± She picked up a broom next to the kitchen shelf and he was already in running mode. She was trying to hit him but he dodged at every hit. She continued to run still tired at her sudden jump from the bed hearing of a rat. ¡°What is wrong with you? How dare you? First you shock me while in sleep telling lies about rat and you use my eye liner and lipstick to draw on my face. Do you know how expensive lipsticks and eye liners are? You simply wasted it for fun.¡± He frowned and stood there, ¡°I am a CEO of a bigpany. Why would I care about that? Plus I am a guy. I would not know about lipstick and eyeners. I would use them as pens or painting colors.¡± ¡°It is called eye liner. Not some eyeners.¡± She growls and runs again to hit him. He catches the broom with one hand and grabs her waste with his other hand. He throws the broom towards the couch. She tries to release herself but he pushed her again towards her chest. She looks at him angrily and he suddenly kisses her. She freezes at the spot but embraces his hug. He sticks his tongue into her mouth and kisses her passionately like he has been longing for it for decades. As they kiss, her stomach makes noises signaling it needs food. He stops kissing her andughs. She presses her lips and looks away embarrassed. Seeing her blushing, he says, ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± He nts a kiss on her forehead and holds her hand to walk her up to the dining table. She quietly obeys and walks with him. He tactically serves her food on the te while she He speaks after finishing breakfast with a loud burp, sheughs and covers her mouth. ¡°Whatever! As if you don¡¯t burp or fart or snore. Anyways, my parents will be here by 2pm, we should freshen up and get cooking. I will help you with the vegetables and the soup. What have you nned to cook?¡± She gets excited and starts counting on her fingers the dishes she is going to prepare, ¡°Alex and Peter will be here only at dinner. They said you did not grant them leave for lunch. I want to cook hot mushroom soup, rice noodles, beef dry chilli, steamed vermicelli rolls and for dessert, soy milk pudding and we can also have fresh lime soda. It is good for digestion.¡± He frowns hearing her list. ¡°We are having lunch at home. It is not a restaurant. Are you sure we can make it all together?¡± He ignored the first part of herin of not inviting Alex and Peter. ¡°We can try. If you granted leave to our two friends, they would had been able to help.¡± He rolls her eyes at him and starts scrolling for recipes in his phone. He was surprised that she remembers his phone¡¯s code too. This made him smile. He continues, ¡°How about we start cooking now. We should be able to finish before they arrive. You sure you don¡¯t want Julie or Robert to help us?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be a spoilt sport. Let¡¯s team up.¡± ¡°Fine. Go clean yourself up. I will get the ingredients ready.¡± He spokezily wondering about so much work will make him exhausted. Once she was back after a shower, they got themselves busy with the lunch menu taunting each other while they cooked. Chapter 60 David And Rose Stay Chapter 60 David And Rose Stay David and Rose Stay ¡°Did you tell them to stay here? Where will they sleep?¡± ¡°Come on Idri. Get idea. Tell me where will they sleep?¡± He squinted at her passing on his own question back to him. ¡°Did they say they will stay?¡± ¡°I texted Rose telling her to stay with David. So yeah, they are going to stay here for the weekend.¡± ¡°How about youe to the mansion to stay?¡± Her heart starts beating fast. ¡°I want them to stay here with me for the weekend and it is decided.¡± He frowns and gives up arguing. He silently starts preparing the lime soda squeezing in the lemon into a small bowl. She looks at his sad face and replies, ¡°We can give them our bedroom and we can sleep in the living room. It will be like camping.¡± ¡°Huh? Giving them the room. I can agree to that. Where do we sleep in the living room? There is only one sofa. You cannot sleep on top of you the whole night. You will suffocate.¡± Her eyes pops out. She clears her throat, ¡°You keep your dirty thinking to yourself. I have the floor bed set with me. We can ce it at the center and sleep. It is big enough to amodate us both.¡± ¡°We will sleep on the floor? Are you sure it is a good idea? What if cockroaches crawl on us?¡± Sheughs, ¡°There are no cockroaches here. We can sleep. I will kill the cockroach if ites near you.¡± Idri lifts one of his eyebrows, ¡°Says who? The one who jumps off the bed hearing about a rat.¡± She pouts at him and ¡®Huh¡¯ she says and turns towards her dumplings checking if it is ready already. Both of them already looks exhausted by the amount of cooking they did and the entire week has been busy for them leading to workingte nights in office. The doorbell rings and Frieze rushes towards the door ordering Idri to keep an eye on the dumplings. He walks up to the steaming vessel and stands near it checking it keenly. A delivery boy delivers a few flower bouquet and one small paper bag. Before he turns, she already ran inside her room and hid the bag under her pillow. Another delivery boy arrives with a cake and she ces it on the table in the living room. He turns to see what is she up to. He asks with curiosity, ¡°did you order a cake? Why so?¡± ¡°Well, just a cake to eat. David and Rose areing home after a long time. Let us celebrate.¡± ¡°Are you sure? Something is fishy. I don¡¯t feel so right. Are you trying to hide something from me woman?¡± ¡°Bleh! You and your questions. Can you watch over my dumplings? I think it is done.¡± She walks up to the steaming vessel and he passes on a te for herpletely forgetting about the suspicious cake. They set the table right with all the dishes they prepared. Idri finishes his lime soda preparation too and looks at the sses with satisfaction. He winks at her and she gives him a hi-five. She ps with joy, ¡°We did it.¡± As Idri suggested that they go and change, a doorbell rang. Both looked at each and walked towards the door. Idri opens it while she stands behind him holding his arm. Rose and David arrived earlier than expected. David¡¯s eyes fall on her hand holding his arm and he signals his wife to look. She could not help but smile. Noticing their eye contact and talks, she realizes the focus point. She releases his arm quickly and Idri realizes too. He blushes seeing his parents smile. Rose teases, ¡°Did we disturb your privacy my children?¡± Davidughs loudly. ¡°What is wrong with both of your clothes? Have you been cleaning some sewage? You both look so dirty.¡± Idri opens the door wider letting them in. Rose and David could already smell yummy fooding all the way from the kitchen. They look at the dishes on the table and cannot stop drooling. Idri interrupts, ¡°We were actually preparing all these dishes for you two. We certainly understand that we are in a mess now. We will go and clean up. Please help yourself while wee back.¡± Frieze looks at him and finds him smiling at her mischievously. She does not want to go inside the room alone with him now. She has butterflies in her stomach and she looks scared. She waits for her to walk towards him, she says nervously, ¡°You can clean up first ande back, I will goter. Let me give thempany until then.¡± Rose and David stand there clueless trying to understand what is the conversation about. Idri does not care about his parents¡¯ presence. He walks towards her taking long strides and grabs her by her arm. He pulls her into the room. Out of embarrassment, she does not dare to look at them. Idri closes the door behind them and they looked at each other with a wide smile. ¡°Why do you drag me like every time?¡± ¡°You go and take a shower or change. I will take a shower ande soon. You want to join me for a shower?¡± He looks at her with lusts. ¡°No way. You go in. I will just change my clothes and maybe wash my face after you are done.¡± He goes inside the bathroomughing at her irritated tone. She opens the cupboard and finds her cupboard halfway filled by his clothes. She looks at the clothes angrily and pushes them in one corner of the cupboard. She starts looking for a simple dress and after much struggle, she finally finds one in the heap. She peeps at the bathroom and quickly changes into the dress before he sees her all naked. As she tries to zip her dress, she struggles to put her hand behind. The next moment, her hand is gripped by a strong one and she is shocked to see him standing behind her. He grabs hold of her zip and slowly pulls it upwards. She removes her hand and waits silently. She shivers as his fingers are also running towards her neck as the zip goes up. He could already sense her nervousness. His heart is racing as well. He wants to grab her right away and make love to her until tomorrow. He hates to be this patient with her but he can wait for her to be his again. He zips her dress and gives her a kiss in her neck. Her breathing elerates and she could feel his breath near on her. Realizing what is going on, she pushes him and runs to the bathroom. He smiles as the little mouse runs away in panic. Frieze kept a pair of joggers and a T-shirt on the bed for him just like the old names. He felt nostalgic and his eyes were in tears. He could feel that the old times will be back soon. He would wear whatever she keeps on the bed and after a long time, he is finally going to do all the same like it is a new birth. Feeling satisfied at his clothes and hairstyle, he informs her toe out soon. He walks up to his parents who are seated on the sofa and chatting away like a happy couple. Frieze on the other hand was inside the washroom, she was turned on and needed to stop fantasizing about him. There are guests in the room and she should be attentive towards them. She took ten long breathes before she could actually calm herself down. His seduction is too strong for her to take but she likes it. She washes her face and even took a cold shower to get rid of the heat generated in her body by his seductive touch. She wears the dress again and this time, after struggling for minutes, she finally zips it. She is all the more tired. She realized that she indeed took a long time mainly because of the zipping as he heard Idri already call her out. She dares not go out showing off her back again to him or the history will repeat itself. She is not sure if she will be able to control herself next time. She comes out and walks towards the dressing room. She is already blushing remembering what happened a while ago. She scolds herself and concentrates onbing her hair tying it into a bun. She smiles at herself through the mirror and walks to the living room telling David while swinging from left to right, ¡°I am all clean now.¡± Theyugh at her childish remark and sheughs too. She sits next to Rose hugging her from the back.This is from N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 61: David And Rose Stay 2 Chapter 61: David And Rose Stay 2 Idri gets jealous. He misses her hug for him. He clears his throat while looking at her. She ignores and speaks to David and Rose, ¡°Are you both going to stay here for the weekend? You can sleep on our bed. We have decided to sleep here in the living room. I have camping beds with me.¡± ¡°Are you sure my son agreed with you to sleep here with you?¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. As Idri was going to speak saying he does not want to, she interrupts, ¡°I decided. He listens.¡± Roseughs and pats at her husband¡¯s shoulders, ¡°Wife rule at home.¡± Idri frowns at his mom, ¡°Did you teach her all these things? I feel you are spoiling her.¡± Frieze covers her mouth. Rose speaks with authority, ¡°Wife rules always. Husbands should only follow orders. My dear husband, do you have anything to argue about?¡± David bes timid trying not to offend his wife who will not talk to her for days. They are like best friends and her silence after a fight is the biggest torture to him. He speaks smiling at his wife, ¡°Your mother is always right. It is decided. We sleep in your bedroom. You both suit yourself in the hall. We left our luggage in the car, let me call the driver to send it here.¡± David escapes his wife¡¯s re to call. Idri was left alone with no support. He had no option but to agree. He sighs and says, ¡°I am hungry. Let¡¯s eat lunch before the food gets cold. I have kept all in thermos utensils.¡± Frieze nts a kiss on Rose¡¯s cheek thanking her for her support. Seeing the women teaming up, he helplessly signals his father to join him in the kitchen. Thedies follow them. Meanwhile in the office, Peter and Alex are worked up. Idri has given them a lot of reports to be finished by today and meetings have been scheduled all for today. The meetings that were supposed to be organized the following week were preponed on Friday. They could not justify their absence for the lunch when Frieze asked them as they knew that is shees to know that Idri intentionally got them worked up, she would fight with him. Fighting with him, will put them into double trouble as he is still avenging them for helping Frieze live elsewhere. They have no option but to obey his to-do list and work withoutining. They know they will have a long night turning in all the reports. Additionally, Frieze asked them to make a ring for Idri that had Frieze loves Idri (FluvI) engraved on it. These are expensive personalized rings which could be prepared a month in advance. However, Frieze¡¯s sry is pretty decent and she did not mind paying the jewelry makers some extra money to turn on the gift at the earliest. Alex and Peter had to go and collect it from the store but they were so worked up that they had no time to breathe. The home delivery charges are high but sadly they ended up paying it just to get the ring delivered. The balloons and the flower bouquets were sent asplimentary gift. They were relieved that they did not have to walk to florist¡¯s shop and purchase bouquet after bouquet. They were annoyed at Rose too. The cake was her idea and she wanted exactly the words she prepared to be written on the cake. She loves Frieze so much that she was not willing topromise. She already called Alex five times in the morning while Peter had the eighth call from her. The words she wanted on the cake was ¡®An advanced cake for the future grandchild¡¯. These two guys felt very awkward to tell at the baker¡¯s shop. Frieze knew that Rose ordered a cake and her two friends involved, she had no idea what Rose nned to write on it. She suggested ¡®Ode to a reunion¡¯ and Rose immediately rejected. She told her that she will be in-charge of the cake and she will take care of it. Trusting her, she agreed and when the cake arrived, she nned for Rose to take the initiative for cutting the cake along with Idri and David. Maybe she will join in too. When Alex and Peter heard Rose¡¯s statement to be imprinted on the cake, they were shocked. Peter said, ¡°This olddy is naughty.¡± She heard it on the phone and replied adamantly, ¡°I need exactly these words or else, rest assured I am worse than my son.¡± Peter and Alex became grumpy. Everyone seems to be ckmailing them and they are clueless about what they did. They are fond of Frieze and hence, she is ready to help her and her family just for her sake. As instructed, they managed to send everything to her address in time. They were relieved and became busy bees to finish the work. Peter texted her saying they won¡¯t make it for dinner either today. They will drop by next week. She was upset seeing the text but she understood that their new roles and new work are giving them a tough time. However, the truth was something else that only Idri and Rose knew. David just followed his wife¡¯smands as usual. Chapter 62 His Tears Chapter 62 His Tears As they finish lunch and Rose runs to bring the cake from the living room, Frieze wipes her mouth too and rushes to her room. She picks up the pillow and takes out a small box out of the small paper bag. She tip-toe back to the dining area where David and Idri are busy chatting. Rose winks at her and ces the cake box in front of them. Seeing the cake, he gets up to bring a knife. As he returns, he finds Frieze standing in front of him with a big smile. He smiles back suspiciously wondering if he is hallucinating. David tells him toe over and sit back in his seat soon. He then turns to Rose signaling her to sit as well. Meanwhile he pulls the cake box towards him removing all the cello tape around the box. Frieze extends her hand and as he looks up to her, the box makes him curious. He looks at his mother followed by his father. David nudges him to take it. He looks at his wife with questioning eyes and opens it. A beautiful silver ring with FluvI is engraved on it like some kind of a computer code. He is confused and does not understand what is happening. His parents look calm meaning they know what is happening already and he just gets disappointed that he does not know a thing. Breaking the silence, Frieze speaks ¡°Well, I have forgiven you long back but still needed some time to mend my heart. You didn¡¯t break it but crushed it.¡± He looked down hearing this and sadness surrounds him. She lifts his chin up to face her and she continues, ¡°Let¡¯s back together as husband and wife. I am proposing you with that ring. You proposed me for the first time and the next turn is mine. Will you be my husband again and live the rest of your life with me?¡± She smiles and a tear falls off his eyes. He is growing weak. She takes the box from him, takes out the ring from the holder and takes his hand in hers. He ces the ring in his finger that perfectly fits him. He does not move but another tear falls on her hand as she holds it. He shivers and does not know what to say. He tries to speak but stops. She continues still, ¡°It is ok. You can tell meter. I can understand you are too emotional right now. Hope you like my gift for you and I love you so much Idri that I cannot exin. My world ended when I left you but I thought that was destiny. I believe whatever we went through, it was God¡¯s test of true love.¡±This is from N?velDrama.Org. He stammers, ¡°Baby, I am the happiest man on earth today. I am soooorrryyy for whatever I did in the past. I will make up to you with my love and care each and every day. I promise.¡± David patted his son¡¯s back and Rose wiped her tears that were unconsciously running down her cheeks. Frieze speaks again after a pause, ¡°Do you like the gift?
