Chapter 14

I heard my stomach growl.

My damn vain husband left me all alone in his huge cold and pale condo. Two days have passed. I don't have a problem because it's better that we don't meet and socialize like in the first months of our marriage. But he didn’t give me permission to leave his condo and there was no stock in his refrigerator!

Except for the oatmeal and milk I don't know why they taste so bad! He's a vegetarian and fitness conscious! I can't swallow any more oatmeal because that's all I've had in my stomach since last night.

"Is this his way of punishing me? Really?"

There have been a few more news coming out about us in the past few days but it seems like they are slowly dying because of our disappearance in the spot light. Bringing me here to hide is also a good thing. Maybe I just need the strength to leave before he can come back.

And maybe this is the right time.

I easily climbed up and took my clothes from the room I had recently served in.

Because he didn't even buy me or lend me clothes to wear I made myself comfortable with his tee.

I personally like it because it is a Harry potter shirt. But because he was a big man I was like in a sack and it reached above my leg. But i love my tees long and comfy.

I stared at myself in the huge mirror in my wall.

I saw myself and I couldn’t help but remember what I was then.

This tee was a shiny and expensive gown.

The pencil I used to tie my hair was a tiara and crown before. And instead of misery it was smile I am wearing.

I just gasped. I lost my father. I lost the throne.

And I lost him.

But if I hadn't done it I wouldn't have had a chance to meet him. And be with him

I sighed.

I really need to get going. My employees must be wondering where I am.

I didn't even bother to change my clothes. Carrying my clothes I finally hurried to the door.

"Where are you going?"

I was about to rotate the door knob when I heard his voice!

I quickly looked behind me

And gasp when I see him drinking water and almost bare. All the buttons of his white long sleeve are open giving me a peek of his manly built in and 6 pack abs.

"Yes wife? Mute again?"

He sound sarcastic. He set the glass down on the cofee table and walked over to me. I was nervous so I backed away until my back hit the door.

"T..wait what .."

Her eyes narrowed as she locked me in her large volume. Cornering me with his hands on my sides.

"You are wearing my favorite shirt."

"What?" I looked at the tshirt I was still wearing.

Shit.

I should have at least change my clothes!

"You left me with nothing okay? I have to wear something because I'm naked here in your condo?" I asked annoyed.

But to my surprise he grins and nods

"You got a point. But I don't mind having you nude in my condo wife."

I stared at him. His naughtiness is not really amusing most of the times.

"Let me guess."

He held his mouth and then gently stroked it.

"You're also wearing my boxter shorts?"

I blushed. Because I do !!

He laughed out loud before turning his back on me.

"Tch tch damn Cara you're slaying in that shirt. I dont mind you wearing all of my shirts ... and boxers." He turned to me and winked.

Yes! I'm leaving.

I would have turned the door again but I heard his voice again.

"Don't you dare wife. There are still paparazzi outside. So I didn't come back right away. The guards closed me. You walking out my condo ... with my shirt and boxter on will make bigger news."

I can't believe he can smile and get angry at times like this.

I strode closer to him and stared at him

"I am hungry !!"

He was surprised by my tantrum but recovered immediately and laughed again

"Of course." He squeezed my cheek but I wiped his hand away.

He walked to the kitchen and I followed him.

More than ten bags full of groceries lay on his long table.

"Hell."

"I'm sorry. I need to be back in Greece after I brought you here."

Of course. His Equija is there.

I approached a bag and opened it.

"I forgot that I haven't had a maid for sometime now and that I don't have a stock"

I opened a nova and started eating it. While continuing to peek at the paper bags contents.

"So from airport I went to the grocery store. You look really hungry wife. A hungry bear."

I shot him a dagger look. And he just grinned.

"Its for a 2 months supply and you're living alone are you nuts?"

"Well not anymore."

What's not anymore?

"You're living with me from now on. Or at least in the next 2 months."

What?

"Oh come on we lived for more than a month before. We were a lovely couple why the shock face?"

Is this one of his ploy?

"Were. Its a past tense Ezekiel! I thought we are fixing the issue? Living with you and being with you make it complicated all the more!"

He approached a bag and one by one took out its contents.

Oatmeal in huge can and milks. He started putting it inside his refrigerator.

"Not in the eyes of the public. They will be quiet when they realize that we're fine and good and together."

"But how about us?"

"What about us?" He looked at me secretly before turning his attention to the beers in his cans and one by one arranged in the stack in the refrigerator.

"You hate me."

"I do."

I fell silent. Then why he would want to ...

"That's why I can make you pay already when you're near me right?"

A pain thud my chest.

"Start doing your job now wife. A maid. Remember? And a P.A. and let's add bed warmer for the mean time"

He started to walk away

"You're an Asshole Ezekiel !! I hate you too!"

He just laughed at me until he entered his room.

I clasped my hand and swayed in annoyance as I obeyed his command.

I just hope my heart and dignity are still whole when it's all over.
