President's Wife

Chapter 4

"Did you have a delightful night, Miss Golding?" He had a smirk on the corner of his lips when he saw my reaction to see him again.

Why did he have to be so handsome?

His full black hair, his blue hair, his well-built and muscular body, he was the dream man every woman wanted to marry.

"Mr. Cartwright, hope you enjoyed your night,"

I replied instead of answering his question.

After a polite smile, I wanted my attention to keep an eye out for a taxi on the street.

To my regret, I couldn't find a taxi, which made it difficult for me to get away from here, mainly because of him.

Ren Cartwright.

His presence next to me made it difficult for me to concentrate.

These feelings that he awakened in me were the ones that I was most afraid to feel again.

The feeling of insecurity, fear, interest, love, happiness, and the other feelings that I could describe further, but will leave out.

I've tried to stay away from him for the past few weeks.

The best method was to rush to my work, which also worked with a lot of difficulties but still took my thoughts from time to time.

Deep in thought, I didn't even notice that Ren put his jacket on my shoulder, which was full of his warmth.

I saw him surprised at what he did. I didn't think that he would worry about a woman.

Rumor has it that he was a stone-cold businessman who was very successful in the business world.

Women practically lay at his feet just to be his girlfriend or the future Mrs. Cartwright.

They would do anything to be Mrs. Cartwright.

I didn't need anyone to be able to rely on someone, because through this thing I was in this state.

Why did something like that have to happen to me?

Why did my life have to end so brutally?

I hadn't done anything to anyone.

My only mistake was trusting the wrong people and not having my life in my own hands but instead focusing on Nathan.

But not in this life anymore! I just had to focus on myself and my future.

I had four years to change my path.

That meant that I was twenty-two years old and had time to change my future but first I had to find a good and stable job to earn a big amount of money to ensure for myself.

And that was what I was doing.

As a person who had two degrees, I could work in both fields in business and design what I doing probably now.

I was working as a designer for the HJ Company only for one project.

I recently got a job offer abroad to work as one of the jewelry designers in one of the most famous resource companies.

I couldn't miss this one.

As a designer, who would turn down a job like this?

Of course, naive people.

In my old life, I did not take the chance and focused on my love for Nathan.

In this life, I will take every chance that comes my way.

I met the President of the company last week who saw my work by chance when he was visiting the HJ Company for a meeting.

He was amazed by the work that he wanted to meet me personally.

I was beyond the happiness that I got a chance to work for a successful company that was also popular in its production.

Back to here and now I noticed how Mr. Cartwright stared at me.

"I have something on my face that you stare at me like that."

I gave snippets in his direction.

It may be that my behavior was a bit childish, but his look didn't bode well for me.

He looked at me like a hungry wolf that didn't let his prey before his eyes.

"I marvel at your beauty, Miss Golding."

As I saw he was also a chamber.

With his flirting skills, he would not have got a woman by his side in no time.

Even though I tried to stay away from him, I somehow miraculously found myself with him. It had been like this all this evening tonight.

"Let me take you home," I looked at him for a moment.

I had the feeling of losing myself directly into those blue eyes, whether they looked directly into my soul.

They pulled me under their spell.

The moment was interrupted by a throat clearing when the assistant to Mr. Cartwright arrived.

Escaping from the magical moment, I tried to avoid his gaze.

"Thank you for your offer, but I refuse."

As I noticed it surprised him that I had declined his offer to bring me to him.

He was probably used to women accepting his invitation, but I wasn't like any other woman.

I waved my hand when, luckily, I saw an empty taxi passing by.

It stopped and she got in without Ren Cartwright stopping me.

I told the taxi driver my address when he started driving.

On the drive home, I asked myself would I had experienced all of this if I had taken a completely different path.

It might or might not be because I couldn't answer that myself.

In life, you experience what you have to experience, which for me was a matter of course.

I had sworn to myself one thing in this life and that was to hold myself accountable to the people who had killed me and to direct my life in a better direction.

Which I also succeeded in doing.

Having a job that is in a different country or in a different time zone came in very handy for me to be far away from the people who wanted to hurt me.

Out of thought, I looked at the city from the windowpane.

At night, the city seemed more lively with all the people.

With all these lights the city looked very bright and beautiful.

The corner of my mouth pulled up with a slight smile.

When I got home, I got ready for bed.

The cell phone started ringing when I got into the bed.

I looked at the caller ID it was Nathan.

What did want that bastard from me again?

I was so fed up with him that I could sing a song from it.

Ignoring his calls I turned off the phone to go to sleep.

The first in the morning was to get a new phone number.

...….....…...…...…...….....

The following day I woke up in my room when the set alarm in my phone was ringing.

I stretched myself out extensively so that my body comes to.

Out of bed, I immediately went to the bathroom to take a warm shower.

I put on my outfit for the day. A blue-gray strappy dress whose petticoat reached up to the thighs and matching pumps.

I've already dried my hair with a blow dryer and braided some of the hair from both fronts into a fish leg then tied it under the rest of my hair at the end of the hairline.

I set out to get a new cell phone number first, then to the HJ Company to pick up my things and then plan my move abroad.

This decision was not easy for me because it would come across as if I had run away from all the s**t, but then I thought f**k it, I only did it for myself and not for other people to entertain them.

You all would think why I decided to take this path. It is very easy to gain new experience but also to earn more credit and fame so that I have new experiences.

That was the main reason for my decision.

When I reached home again to my surprise, I saw Nathan in front of the door.

What was he doing here again?

When was it enough that he gave up coming here?

I was afraid that he wouldn't open up at all until he got what he wanted and that I would always stay by his side until I died. In his dreams!

With the box in hand that contained my belongings for the project, I walked slowly to my door,

"What do you want here, Nathan?"

My gruff voice drew his attention to me. He looked good as always but I had seen better ones like him for example.

His face flashed for a moment before my eyes like a flashback and then disappeared again.

"Why don't you answer my calls!"

He was shouting at me like a drunken madman.

He was not just sounding like that instead he was drunk.

"Like I said on that day I left the Henderson family that will not have any relation with any one of you."

I took my keys out of my bag to open the door when I waited for him to leave but to my disappointment, he did not leave.

Instead, he urged himself to march into my apartment as he pleased without my permission to wait, even though I wouldn't have allowed him to come in at all.

What occurred was him to behave as if he could come here and go he wanted it.

Not with me!

He didn't even listen to what I said to him, as always, he ignored what I wanted to make clear to him.

I wondered how I couldn't tell that he was such an ass.

How could I be so stupid and naive as not to be able to tell?

"I'm not going anywhere until we speak, Amelia."

The drunkenness could be heard in his voice.

Being drunk, he was very hard to take care of and most of all, sitting in front of my door on the brightest day he was not himself at all.

I took his phone out of his pants pocket then send a message to Victoria.

Probably she was fuming with anger because Nathan was here to see me.

If I was her then I would also be angry and jealous that he was here but I was not. Not anymore.

After his true face, I was not jealous anymore, but I was hating him for what he had done to me in my previous life.

In the meantime, I had brought my things into the apartment in hand.

Then waited for Victoria to arrive, who arrived a quarter of an hour later.

"You b***h! What do you want from Nathan again? Isn't it enough for you to let go of him again ..."

I interrupted her right before she could continue talking.

Here and now I'll finally end my relationship with the two of them.

"The b***h here is you! Don't you dare put me in the same category as you! I ordered you over here because he was already sitting in front of my door drunk."

Victoria looked at me in shock at my behavior that I could defend myself.

I was proud of that. From now on I will no longer hold back but defend myself straight away.

Do not think that you are special because you come from a rich family and have a rich fiancé.

It doesn't qualify you for anything, plus one thing sweetheart.

Oh, I'm not interested in your fiancé or your false friendship, because it is just as false as your character."

The truth of telling her in the face hurt her, that she tried to hide the tears, which made her even angrier.

That b***h deserved it a long time. It also felt good to stand for me and give her opinion.

"Just because you open yours now doesn't mean you are better, w***e!"

That was Victoria's typical response to defending herself.

She didn't have anything better to do than get rid of these sayings.

I didn't even listen to what she had to say but left her alone with a drunk Nathan at my door.

I could hear her starting to curse and bleed. Presumably, she was trying to get Nathan away.

Best of all, it would be good that they stayed away from me forever.

After the whole incident, I decided to pack my things in the boxes.

I had already packed most of my things because there wasn't much.

You want to know why.

I can only say one thing about all these things and the apartment was a present from Nathan for the stupid and naive Amelia.

At the time I had thought that there would be a place where he and I would begin our future but had thought wrong and made wrong hopes.

In truth, he just wanted to hide me, his little affair, so that he could occupy two of us.

The truth only came to light when I was dying and he looked at me without emotion.

His eyes told me what he didn't say to me with his mouth,

'I never loved you. You just imagined the whole thing. '
