Chapter 22
As we went inside many people recognized us. The manager soon came running and gave us the best spot by the window facing the
sea.
Shortly our food came and I looked up to make some conversation with Marcus but he was on his phone, ignoring me.
“I talked with my investors. I might have to go to Germany for a few days next week” I tried again to bring up a conversation but he kept tapping on his phone.
I don’t get why I was trying to make conversation to ease the tension between us when my ultimate goal was to divorce him.
I reminded it to myself several times and kept my mouth shut throughout dinner.
After we got back I changed to a blue short and a white baggy t–shirt. As usual I took the pillow to the couch and dozed off.
After a while I heard the whimpering back again. I knew it was Marcus and if I woke him he would lash at me once again.
So I closed my eyes again not wanting to cause anymore scene. But curiousity got the best of me so I slowly opened my eyes to see him sweating, looking very scared. I wanted to go and tell him that everything was okay. But I knew better.
He repeated the same thing for a while. Then I heard the door opening and shutting with a loud thud. I opened one eye to peak and the room was empty. No Marcus.
Hesitantly I wrapped a robe around me and went to the balcony to see him. And he was there on the bench just like last time.
We stayed in Florida for the next two days. Marcus’s nightmares came every every day torturing him with sleepless nights. Even though I didn’t like him I also didn’t like the idea of him suffering. No one should suffer.
He slept everyday for two to three hours until his nightmares came. Then he goes to the beach, relaxes and then comes back to bed to
work.
I wanted to ask what was bothering him but I knew that we were not close enough to talk about that.
After a boring week we both got on the jet to fly back home. To his home.
To a new beginning, hopefully.
I was sitting on the sofa in front of the pool, relaxing myself under the setting sun. Marcus’s house wasn’t a mansion but a very nodern house with glass walls and a massive garden. It was beautiful specially the interior and the roses around the fountain cascading water down it’s tiers like a ball gown.
looked up to see Marcus in his room calling someone with a file in his hand. He hasn’t closed his curtains so I could see him clearly.
‘Miss would you like me to show you to your room?” A woman who seems to be in her late fifties asked me.
‘Sure” I replied and walked up the stairs with her.
‘Are you the maid here?” She nodded her head.

Chapter 22
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Madeline”
“How many maids are here?”
“Only me miss” Madeline noticed the surprise on my face. A billionaire having only one maid?
‘Sir prefers the house to be quiet“. I nodded my head, not surprised. He is boring as hell.
‘So how long have you been working here?”
‘I have been here for 6 years”
‘So only you all this time?” I was still surprised that a billionaire has only one maid.
There was another girl with me until few months ago” Now that piqued my interest.
What happened to her?” Madeline looked down. She was fidgeting her hands.
‘She tried to… Uhm.. she liked master..so she tried to get his attention. She was fired later on”
‘How long has she been working?” I felt like I was doing an interview but nevertheless I needed information if I was to survive here.
‘For 3 years”
‘If she had been here for so long why did he fire her suddenly without ignoring whatever she did?”
I was confused. Marcus is handsome and I think he has surely faced many situations like this.
‘She.. uhm..she..” Madeline looked anxious.
‘She what?”
‘She got master drunk and….forced him to sleep with her. He wasn’t in his right mind. She was fired the next day when he woke up.”
was shocked and disgusted.
‘Miss don’t think anything bad about Sir. It was all her and he didn’t have anything towards her. He’s a good guy and I don’t want you
o think otherwise”
Now I looked at Madeline in shock. She thought I’d be jealous or angry that someone slept with my husband before I became his wife.
Honestly I don’t care. With his rude attitude I thought he was a virgin. But apparently not. I mean I feel bad for the Marcus because it
was rape.
wondered where that woman was now. If I was him I would have sued her. But he probably didn’t do it because of the vicious nedia. If they had gotten hold of this news Marcus would have received mock instead of justice.
His business would have gone bankrupt. People would say ‘man up‘. That’s how cruel the world is. And it disgusts me.
