“Of course you’ll be filthy rich once we divorce.”
I gritted my teeth when I remembered the price and the properties we agreed I would give her. She was asking for too much and I would not want to give in to her demands. She was really cunning! She knew how to make a deal and bargain about the money and properties just because she knew grandpa wanted me to marry her.
Well, my grandpa was friends with her long dead father, Leo Woods.
‘I only asked you one thing, John. Please take care of Katniss and my company when I am gone…’
I still couldn’t forget Mr. Woods dying wish to my grandpa.
And grandpa did everything he could. But once Katniss turned twenty, all the properties were transferred to her name. She had all the rights to decide for all the money, properties and businesses.
And in just a year or two, Katniss had squandered all the money that his father left for her. Including the Woods Ship Line that she sold at a cheap price. Grandpa did everything to buy it back.
‘I couldn't let the company be handed to others, when I knew how Leo gave his blood and sweat to establish the business.’ Grandpa told me when I questioned him.
And now, I was managing Woods Ship Line. Grandpa didn’t want to change the name of the company in memory of his best friend. And I was sure his promise to Mr. Woods was the very reason why Grandpa badly wanted me to marry Katniss.
‘It was not as if Katniss was a perfect woman. She was not even a wife material.’
And if Katniss thought she could still do everything she wanted now that we were married, she was wrong.
‘I’d be going to give her the taste of my wrath… the punishment that she deserved.’
Now that we are far away from Grandpa, I could always do as I pleased. And what I wanted to do to her now was teach her a lesson.
“But I should warn you that you can only get it if you stay with me for three years. Here… on this island.” I continued as I crossed my legs, sitting comfortably at the couch.
“What?! Are you fcking mad?! You can’t keep me here for three long years! Besides, I am not your real wife! You must deal with her and not me!”
I crossed my arms against my chest and shrugged.
“We agreed on that. You were even happy and very eager to confirm that we will stay in the same house. But because I am a billionaire businessman, having a lot of businesses scattered around Europe and US, you must understand that there were times I am going to leave the house and—”
“Wait! Stop! Just stop a sec and listen to me!” She yelled, totally flustered by what she heard.
I could only smirk. I already anticipated this reaction. There was no way a socialite like Katniss herself would love to live on an island for three fcking long years.
“You are crazy if you think you can hold me down in this place of nowhere. And why don’t you call your Grandpa first and ask him if your real bride had already shown at the hotel. Sure she was very angry at you right now, for bringing along the wrong bride!”
“Ha! Who are you trying to dupe? Of course my wife already showed. She was married to me and…” I stood up and walked straight to her.
Katniss suddenly got flustered. I could tell she was having trouble on what she was going to do next. It looked like she wanted to go, run away from me.
At first, I was confused. She should be playing with me, flirting or shamelessly stripping off her dress and asking me to lock ourselves to the bedroom already.
But then, I guess she already realized what situation she was in, right now. She was here, on an island… away from her urban life. And she would be stuck here for three years.
For three fcking years…
I grinned as I took her chin. She tried to let go but I laughed and lowered my face to her. I didn’t really know what happened to me at the wedding ceremony but when I kissed her, I found her lips sweet and sensual. I couldn’t get enough of those red plump lips. They were so irresistible!
“…and now she’s here… was about to do her duties being my wife… warming my bed.”
Her eyes widened in horror when I landed my hands on her waist and pulled her closer to mine. Our lips were just a breath away. I could smell her scent. It was sweet and sensual and I didn’t know if this was her natural scent. It was way different from her usual.
She used to wear those perfumes that were too strong for my liking. Now, she didn’t.
‘And maybe that was one thing that made me feel intoxicated by her.’
I couldn't help myself but claimed her lips once more. I’ve been holding myself since we were in the hotel.
And much to my pleasure, she quickly answered my kisses. She even indulged me to deepen it. I could feel her shivered. I was not sure about the reason. But one thing I was sure of. Regardless of the situation I put her into, there was one thing I knew we would both agree with.
Sex.
There would be a lot of s*x and this whole chalet house would surely smell s*x for the whole three years we were here.
She should brace herself because right now, I wanted her. So badly.
“I wanted you in my bed. Now.”
