Celina’s POV
When I saw Xia in Jefferson’s office that day, I felt furious and mad at her. I treated her as a sister and yet she was planning on stealing my husband. No wonder she keeps on insisting that I have to divorce him so that she will have her chance.
She was linking her arms with Jefferson’s and although I felt a little jealous, I knew that he didn’t like what she did, so he pushed her and I decided to show her that she would never take my husband from me.
What I did in the restaurant was beyond me. I didn’t think that I was capable of doing that. But because I feared that she would get a chance with my husband, I swallowed my pride and initiated the kiss.
“Arghhh…. why did I do that? Is that how desperate I am to hold on to him?” I yelled at myself.
I was making myself busy with a project when I received a call from Jefferson telling me that he is going to pick me up at 2. I didn’t want to leave the house because I wanted to finish the projects that I was working on.
But he was too persistent and I knew I couldn’t win over him if he really wanted to get me. My whole body is a weak spot to his touch.
Then he came in at exactly 2 pm. He’s really punctual. He was teasing me and, oh my gosh, I am really affected. I don’t know how he did that to me. That word can make my knees so weak.
I was really going to change my clothes if he didn’t stop me. Although I know for myself that I will like it if he ever does what he told me he’d do to me in the car. I was holding my head when I got in the car.
When he kissed me, I was breathless. I totally forgot to kiss him when he arrived, which is what he wanted me to do. Does he think that I am going to get used to that instantly? Well, what I did in the restaurant was an exception. Our marriage is at stake.
He took me to Allaine’s boutique and I don’t know why. I have plenty of dresses and I don’t see any reason for us to go there. He led me inside the boutique and met with the owner herself. I don’t know why but I’m sure that I don’t like at all because she looks fake from inside and out to me.
Anyways, she led me to a room where there were a lot of sets of gowns and dresses to choose from. In the corner, I saw a familiar design, so I approached it.
“That’s my winning masterpiece in the world competition.” She informed me arrogantly.
I was about to tell her that I know that design when someone gets out of the fitting room. I was ready to ignore whoever she was when she lashed at me angrily but managed to dodge.
I glared at the woman after I kept my distance from her. “You stole my boyfriend from me!” She said angrily.
“Excuse me? I’m married, so there’s no way that I am going to steal someone else’s boyfriend.” I told her.
“You took Jefferson from me!!” She screamed at me and realized that she was the love of Jefferson’s life.
I decided to leave her there and went back to where Jefferson was so they could talk and clear things up. Just as I went out of the room, she caught up and lapped me. Of course, I had to return it to her. Which she didn’t expect me to do.
“I am not pushed over and I didn’t steal him from you. You two broke up before we got married.” I told her, holding my head up high.
Then Allaine came and said smirking, “Just as I thought, you’re a s***. The first time I saw you, I could tell that you were.”
“Is that so?” I asked as I faced her, “Then you’re a knockoff designer.” I told her and she got angry.
“How dare you tell me that? I am the world designer winner and you’re telling me that!!” She said angrily. I wanted to laugh at her because she was so thick-skinned when telling me that.
“First I want you to know that I am “Clansy”.” I told her and her eyes widened. “You looked like you know what you got yourself into.
“I don’t care who you are b****, Jefferson’s ex said and was about to slap me again, but I caught her hand this time and was about to give it back to her again, but Jefferson stopped me and pulled her ex out.
I was left there with a now timid Allaine, who couldn’t look me in the eye. I waited for Jefferson and when he came back I told him what I needed to tell him and the fake designer looked down.
We went home and I wanted to ask Jefferson what had happened to him and that woman, but I couldn’t get myself to do it so I just went straight to our bedroom.
“We could have just eaten out for dinner before we went home.” He said after he closed the door.
“Not in the mood.” I replied, then went to the closet to get myself a change of clothes and I headed for the bathroom. Jefferson was already in his house clothes when I finished and probably changed in the walk-in closet instead.
“What are you going to do?” He asked. I looked at him and replied.
“Finish my project.” Then I left our bedroom and went to his study. He followed me and I don’t think I would be able to do anything if he is not going to leave me alone.
“What happened there and what do you mean by a knockoff designer?” He asked as soon as we took our seats. I don’t think he is going to stop either. I am not going to tell him, so I told him everything that happened in the boutique.
“I already explained to you that I broke up with her before we got married, right?” He said. I don’t know why he had to say that but to assure him, I nodded my head in agreement.
“I told her not to mess with you or bother you or do-nothing st***** just to get back at you.” I looked at him with a creased forehead. “Just in case you want to know what we had talked about when I pulled her out of the boutique.” He added and I looked into my tablet.
“Is that rash?” I heard him ask and I nodded. “See to it that you will be able to finish that today because we will go and buy you a dress tomorrow.” He added and explained to me why we needed that.
I don’t like parties, but because he’s invited and I am his wife, I had to come with him. Another thing is, there is something in me that is making me feel proud thinking he is going to introduce me to his friends or other business partners.
Although I may have met them at our wedding, introducing me to them through him was important to me. It will make me feel confident that he was claiming me as his wife. With thought, I decided to make myself beautiful so they wouldn’t be able to say anything against me or Jefferson if ever. I should be the most beautiful there.
