*ALORA*
Es also noticed the tone of her daughter’s voice.
“Ellie, what’s wrong with you?”
Ellie eyed , stared at my outstretched hand and then stord off.
Es quickly apologized.”I’m so sorry, she must be tired from the flight and all. Please forgive her manners.”
I frowned, that definitely didn’t seem like being tired from a flight.
“It’s okay.” I bead at Es knowing very well that Ellie wasn’t just tired and cranky.
She hates .
*****************
And I got to know why when she walked up to at the living room later that day. I was seated, still going through my script when she ca over to stand in front of , she clapped as if announcing her presence.
I glanced up at her, squarely.
“Do you love him?” She asked, coldly.
I huffed. “Do I owe you an explanation?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t. I don’t owe you an explanation so fuck off.” I snapped.
I might like Es but I won’t tolerate disrespect from anyone.
“The only person who needs to fuck off from this house is you!”
I gasped.
She really has it bad for .
“What do you have against , Ellie? You don’t even know . Except from maybe watching my movies.”
“Yes, I’ve watched a few movies of yours and I always admired your acting skills. I didn’t think my path would one day cross with yours. Well, you just asked what I have against you, let spell it out for you, you’re currently legally married to my man!“
That made laughed.”Your man?“
“Yes.” She seethed.
“I think if Caden was in a committed relationship to soone else, he wouldn’t have married or is this one sided?” I mocked.
She looked slapped. “Watch your tongue!”
I grimaced. “Oh it is. You love him and I’m guessing he doesn’t.”
“He does. He just doesn’t know it yet.”
I bit back a laugh.
“You can laugh all you want now but let warn you, it’ll be better for you if you heed my warning. I don’t believe you two are truly married. Before your marriage day, there were no dating rumors about you and him. Even my mom said he never brought you to the house until now. So I’m guessing this marriage might just be a sham, maybe you two made a deal or sothing, I can’t say I understand the ways of people like you but I just want you to focus on the deal. Do not try to make your stay permanent here. You’re the beautiful actress, Alora, you can have any man you want, just not my Caden. Caden is mine. He’s always been mine and he’ll always be mine.”
Now I was really starting to get upset by how possessive she was of him.
Who was she to call him ‘mine’?!
“We can be friends if you tell the real reason why you married him.” She offered.
I eyed her. “I don’t need your friendship, little girl. And you sound so overly confident that you could be Caden’s wife soday.”
“I will be. And that is why I need and you to be on the sa page, why did you marry him?”
“Like I said before, I owe you no...”
I was cut short when she suddenly squealed and scurried off.
“Caden!” She called running up to him.
Sighing, I turned around on the sofa to see that he had just gotten ho.
She practically jumped on him, hugging him, tightly.
I have no idea when my heart jumped as well and why I felt so angry and sothing else...sothing I didn’t want to admit.
I wasn’t jealous!
I continued watching them, rolling my eyes.
Why was he letting her hug him like that?!
I saw him disengaged from her and he fucking smiled at her.
Does he like her?
“Look at you...all grown up.”He teased, ruffling her hair.
I tried to figure out that gesture.
I think he sees her as a little sister or sothing.
“Yeah...I’m so much more matured now.”She purred, doing a twirl for him.
Ugh.
My teeth clenched.
“You missed my graduation! How could you?!” She yelled, punching him lightly on the belly.
Gosh, I don’t like how close they seem to be.
“I’m sorry. My schedule’s been tight these past couple of days.”
“Is that enough to miss my graduation?”She pouted, giving him puppy eyes.
Ahh, she was really trying so hard.
“I’ve apologized. You have to forgive .”
She smiled at him. “I’ll think about forgiving you.”
He nodded and gave her a mock bow. “Thanks for your leniency.”
Oh God, I’m feeling nauseous.
“On a serious note,I’m proud of you, Ellie. Graduating with excellent results, top of your class, it’s amazing. Congratulations.”
She smiled, moving her legs and looking so shy.
“Thank you.”
“Have you thought about where to work?”
“Why are you asking? Do you want to co work for you?” She was bating her eyelashes at him now.
He shrugged.”If you want to. You just have to tell where you’re interested in working and I’ll get your employnt fixed.”
She placed her hand on his shoulder, pretending to be rubbing sothing off him.
What the hell?!
“What am I going to ever do without you, Caden? You’re such a big blessing to .”
“It’s nothing.”
“About working, I’ll have to put that on hold for now. I just want to take a few months to myself to relax and have fun before deciding on a job.”
More like taking ti off to tornt !
I couldn’t decide what was worse.
She working for Caden and being around him at his company or spending every hour in this house trying to get him to be hers.
This was so annoying.
And then he finally glanced at my direction.
“Hey.”He waved at , awkwardly.
Hey?
Just hey?
I nodded at him and looked away, turning back to my script.
“I have to go freshen up now.” I heard him say to her and then his footsteps started fading away.
“See that.” Ellie purred walking closer to . “We have chemistry.”
“Chemistry, my foot.” I snapped.
She glared at and stord off.
I leaned against the sofa,angrily.
She should have just remained in school?
Maybe until Caden and I’s marriage was over.
How was I supposed to put up with that brat?
