Married To The Billionaire Badboy

Episode seven

Rafael's pov~

It seems like Gabriel didn't get the memo that I didn't want to talk about her as he kept pressuring me to talk about her. I finally gave in and decided to tell him so he won't disturb me anymore.

“So what do you want me to say about her”? I asked him “and why do you seem interested to know her”

“I'm just curious as to how the mighty badboy who is finally married sees his wife and what is bad about me asking about my best friend's wife” he said.

I scoffed and looked at him “everything is bad about it, who knows what if you are interested in her? I asked, looking at him closely.

He laughs and says “why would your mind even go to something like that?” Or are you jealous that I may try to steal your wife from you?” He said laughing.

“Why would I be jealous? I would even be happy it would give me an excuse to divorce her” I said to him. And all of a sudden an idea sparked in my brain.

“That's it,” I said excitedly.

“What?” he said confused

“I think I have found a way to get out of this arranged marriage” I said to him

He looked confused and asked “and which way is that?”

“Simple,I set her up with a guy and she is accused of having an affair with him . Even dad will personally kick her out” I smirked proud of myself for coming up with such a brilliant idea. But I guess Gabriel didn't buy the idea cause he looked skeptical.

“You would risk ruining a young girl's reputation just for your own benefits” he asked me.”And you also told me that she also never wanted the marriage too so spoil her reputation for yourself??. It would be better if you guys had a conversation on how to tolerate each other and how to get out of the marriage”. He said

I realized what he was saying made actual sense but I wasn't going to agree immediately with him.

“We will see about that,till then let's finish up today's work so I can go and crash” I said and I called my secretary to bring up.more files for me to sort.

As soon as we were done with work. We left the office together. I suggested we go to a bar and drink but Gabriel declined saying he had to meet his dad for some minor work.

I decided to go back to my house even though I didn't want to see Maria. Seeing her really pissed me off. Especially since our little quarrel last night. I suddenly remembered how I helped her arm roughly. I knew it would leave some bruises but still I felt no remorse next time she wouldn't be rude while talking to me.

I decided to go and visit Leticia rather than going back to my house.

When I got to Leticia’s apartment , I knocked at her door and waited for her to come and open it. I had called her and told her I was on my way to see her.

“Hey babe, she said as she opened the door for me. “I missed you alot I have been wondering when you would finally come to visit me”

“I am busy with work and my dad but I'm here now, aren't let's have some fun.” I said as I closed the door behind me.

Maria's pov~

The time was around 10pm and Rafael hadn't come back from work. Not as if I care about him or anything but being left alone with no one to talk to can be pretty boring even at my age. This was why I needed to apply for a job and start working. I didn't even know the time he would be back and I planned to discuss my idea of looking for a job with him.

After having dinner I went to my room and scrolled through i********: watching some videos. Suddenly I heard the sound of a car coming into the compound and I knew it was him. I felt relieved that he decided to finally come back and I stood and went to the living room so I could talk to him as soon as he entered the house.

“Welcome,” I said to him as soon as he entered the living room. He looked at me with his cold eyes and I could see that he was probably surprised to see me but I guess he was trying very hard not to show it.

“What do you want?” he asked me.

He looked as if he had gone somewhere else after work and he had a feminine perfume scent on him. I knew instantly he had gone to visit his girlfriend. I felt a sharp pain in my chest but I ignored it. It wasn't as if I expected him to fall in love with me immediately after we got married. That only happens in movies.

“That's a rude way to reply to someone's greeting” I say.

“Can't you see that I just came back from the office and would like to have a rest instead of you bombarding me with questions” he replied.

“Sorry about that I don't want to disturb you, I just need to discuss something with you urgently”

“Then hurry up and get it over with”

“I would like to apply for a job” I hesitated a bit and then continued “I have a degree in accountancy and would like to apply for a job. Staying at home doing nothing everyday is really draining me mentally” I was done speaking and waited for what he had to say.

He laughed at first and then stopped and came closer toward me before saying “I don't give a damn what you do with your life as long as it doesn't interfere with my mine, so you can apply for your little job I doubt they would hire someone like you”

“Someone like me? What do you mean by that” I asked him.

“Do you look like someone a company would be willing to hire, I mean look at you your so incompetent and you don't even have the basic standards a woman is meant to have”

I didn't want him to know that words had hurt me so I put on a straight face and looked at him straight in the eyes and said

“Well,sorry to burst your bubble but I'm highly competent for a job even though I don't look it”

I hated that he looked down on me and wanted to make me feel small but nevertheless I will definitely get this job and I will rub it in his face.

“Whatever you say, I don't care you can go ahead and apply for a job that you won't be accepted in” he said smirking and was about to leave and then I made a mistake to ask him a question.

“Are you actually coming back from your office?”

He stopped and turned to me “and what is that supposed to mean”?

“There is no use to lie to me, I can perceive the scent of your girlfriend on you” I said. I wonder where this braveness was coming from or maybe it was because of how arrogantly he is and that it irritates me.

“Yes I went to see my girlfriend and do you have a problem with that, and mind you, if you dare think of telling my life I will make your miserable life more miserable” he said glaring at me furiously.

I glanced down cause suddenly all the braveness I felt in me had disappeared. I hated that he made me feel scared of him. I said nothing to him and left the sitting room and went into my room to have my night rest.
