27.Feisty

Shaub's POV:

"You're fired. Get the hell out of here." I said in a pissed voice dropping the file with a thud on the table.

"What?! I mean...I..I'm sorry. I will check the reports thoroughly. I.." His pleading voice made me lose my temper and I shouted at the high pitched voice.

"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE. YOU'RE NOT NEEDED ANYMORE." I just hate when people try to neglect their mistakes and asked for chances.

"But sir you have already fired 15 people yesterday and now you..." Nate, my secretary tried to reason out but my sharp glare made him bite his lip and shut his nosy mouth.

"I'm the owner so I can do whatever I want. GET LOST." I said getting up from the chair and walked towards the glass window.

These days had been most difficult to control my anger and my mind is literally disturbed. Yeah. I know I shouldn't have fire 15 people in a go but it was their mistake to handle the project carelessly and pissed me off when I was already pissed because of....I shake my head and sighed in frustration putting my left hand on the glass window.

Yesterday's morning encounter with her made me feel like crap and those lazy employees came in the wrong day. I had been looking at their reports and their activities were not so good but still, I gave them chance or moreover I thought that they will do better but no they didn't learn anything. And that idiot asked me why I fire him. I just couldn't handle negligence in the work.

I then put my hands in my pants pocket and closed my eyes to cool down. Many things had happened and many things will happen for which I need to calm down and control my big head. Then some images started popping out which is the bitter memory of my life.

"Mom! Mom! Mom!" I cried out loud but nobody came for me.

I was in the garden playing with my ball then it fell on the bush and when I tried to pick it up, I was scared of the spider. I literally couldn't stand with insects and it was scaring me to death. But my mom would always shoo it away and I didn't have to fear if it bites.

And I kept calling her but she never came. She didn't even hear my voice even though my throat aches due to my constant shouting. My face was covered with sweat and then I looked at the stick or the small part of the branch fallen from the tree and picked it up trying to shoo the spider away but it climbed on the stick and I yelped out loud dropping it in the ground. I waited for the one person who had told me that she would be with me everywhere but she just couldn't fulfill her promise.

"I despise your existence Shaub Reghen." That made me to open my eyes and I clenched my fist to suppress my anger and take a deep breath.

That woman just pushes my buttons every time we met and she made sure to remind me of my painful memories. She just made me vulnerable whenever she is around me and there is something in me that tells me that she would never judge me but I just couldn't let her know the real me. I'm not so easy to handle and she is not the one for me.

But you always act like an asshole in front of her.

Then a small smile form on my lips when I recalled how she makes faces whenever she is pissed with me. And I just love seeing her pissed off face. It's kind of my entertainment and she still doesn't know anything about the whole marriage thing and even if she knows then it will freak her out more.

I had thought my problems were solved but no, more problems were arising. I just don't know how I will keep that asshole away from her but I just need to do it.

Yesterday I did not know why but I was somehow worried for her as she wasn't picking up her call and hadn't come home since morning so I asked Willi to call the hospital to ask about her whereabouts. And it's not that I care for her but if the old man knows about it then he will surely make me regret it.

Talking about him I have told him about tonight's gala and somehow convinced him or manipulate him to call Shalifa to make her come to the gala with me. If not for the stupid gala then I surely wouldn't have bark in her cabinet and wouldn't get pissed seeing that asshole.

How close were they and how surprised they were when I caught them together? I clenched my teeth and blood boil in my head when I recalled that asshole's filthy face.

Then my chain of thought was interrupted by the ringing of my phone and if not for the call then I would have smashed the window. So I went towards the desk and picked up the receiver.

"Sir, I have sent the dress and makeup artist to the mansion. Is there anything I need to do?" Lara, my secretary asked me.

"No Lara. Bring me my coffee." I said ending the call.

After having the hot coffee, I began checking out some paper work and tried to get rid of unnecessary things. I have already told Lara to send the dress and makeup artist so that Shalifa wouldn't find it difficult to get ready for the gala and it might be her first time to attend such gatherings. I then left the office at 5 pm as I too need to get ready and to check on my wife.

I hopped on my car and started driving towards my mansion. I wouldn't usually go there as I would always be busy and end up in my penthouse but I don't know why but these days I'm frequently going there. Maybe it's because of the certain changes in my life or there is certain someone living there beside me. I get out of the car once I reached the mansion and went inside.

I asked one of the maids whether my wife has arrived and the answer was positive. Glad that she came otherwise I would have to do something which she wouldn't have liked. I then went to my room and get dressed in a navy blue tux after having a shower. I put on the watch, spray cologne, and went downstairs to wait for her.

I was sitting on the sofa scrolling through my emails when I hear clicking sounds of the heel. That made me glance towards the stairs and there she was looking ethereal. She was looking damn hot and sexy. The dress fit her perfectly showing her curves and the light makeup makes her look more gorgeous. It was a long gown with a slight cut at the side and with sheer luck it was too navy blue.

"I hope you like it, sir." The makeup artist said again as I was staring at the beauty in front of me.

Did I just say beauty?

"Ah..yeah. Your job is done. You may leave." I said in my usual cold voice which makes Shalifa glare at me and she said thank you on my behalf.

I just ignore her glare walking towards the door and get inside the car. I know I'm acting like a jerk but I don't want to compliment her as she would think highly of herself and it will hurt my ego. And I know what she thinks of me. Also, I don't give a damn to what people think so just let her think of me as a jerk.

After two minutes she too gets in the car and we drove to Winket where the gala was being held. The whole ride we didn't speak a word to each other and I couldn't stop stealing glances of her. She was looking so out of the world that the man in me became conscious.

I'm a man by the way and the dirty thoughts were coming which I tried hard to suppress by acting piss or moreover I was pissed at thinking those things.

Once the car came to halt I somehow control myself and held her hand like a gentleman and the paparazzi started taking our photos. I ignored their ridiculous questions and walk inside. At first, she was hesitant but then she rolls her eyes and followed my lead.

We were then greeted by Mr and Mrs Waters and they lead us to meet others. Most of the business associates were here and this was the reason why I had told her to accompany me as I need to introduce my fake wife to them and act like a happy couple. It was quite difficult to act as a lovely couple but I need to do it for myself.

All of them were happy to meet my wife and I kinda feel relief that her dress was not so revealing as the men were eyeing her with lust. I know she looks irresistible but men, she is my wife, Mrs.Shalifa Shaub Reghen.

Did I just say that? Holy fuck.

I then snaked my hand on her waist and pulled her closer to me as I don't want the men to think that she is single. For a second, she stiffens in my touch and glance at me to know if I really pulled her close then she relaxes on my touch and started talking with Mrs.Ron.

I absentmindedly make a circle on her back and she almost chokes on her drink. And she told me to remove my fingers but I couldn't stop my fingers from making circles.

"Can you stop doing that?" She hissed in a low voice near my ear so that I will only hear it.

"What?" I acted innocent and ignored her glare while sipping my wine.

"Um..excuse me." I heard her say after few seconds and I don't have any other options than to let her go. I did not want to loosen my hold but her uncomfortable face made me leave her.

"Shaub! I miss you a lot." A girl hugged me placing her face on the crook of my neck which made me feel uncomfortable and I just clenched my teeth faking a smile.

"What are you doing here Witney?" I asked trying to not sound rude. She was a clingy lady and wouldn't leave me when I told her I didn't like her but now I don't have any other options but to let her piss me.

"I came with my dad and I see you so I came to meet you." She said giving a peck on my cheek and placed my hands on her waist.

I tried to push her but being the clingy woman she is, she clings to me like a leech. I then began talking with the other businessman and Witney was enjoying being in my embrace. She either bite her lips seductively or would give me a lusty look.

And I tried to get my hands off her but being the shameless brat, she places my hands on her waist. If not for her father then I would have shown that slut her place.

So, I gritted my teeth in anger and snapped at her when she tried to kiss me. Then I accidentally poured my wine on her dress and she excuses to go to the washroom.

"Mr.Reghen, I have seen Mrs.Reghen leave the hall. Is something wrong?" Mrs.Water asked me with concern filled voice.

Then it hit me that I'm with her and I need to search for her. God! That woman can't inform before leaving.

But you were busy with your one nightstand?

I then told Mrs.Water that everything is okay and I will go to my wife. I left the gala and looked outside but she was nowhere to be found. I tried calling her but as usual, her phone was not reachable. I ran my hand through my hair and sighed in frustration.

Then I asked the guard and he told me that he had seen a lady heading out walking towards the street. And I get inside my car and drive in the stated direction.

The night was pitch dark and the area was deserted. Only few houses were here and the place seems dangerous. I don't know why but she seems a psycho to me as no sane woman would leave in the pitch dark alone and walked away when she didn't know the place where she was in.

I looked at each and every direction and stopped the car when I see some figures at the front. There was only a dim pole light and my car headlights light made them stop their action and looked at the intense light. Then someone yelled out loud and it was a familiar woman voice so I get off the car and the scene before me was hilarious.

"You boys want to rob me. Weak woman? Huh. Now see." She took out a small bottle and sprayed it in the boy's eyes. The boy scream in pain rubbing his eyes and it seemed to be pepper spray.

I then saw another boy getting up from the ground and gripping Shalifa neck from the back of his neck while trying to choke her but she kicked him where his sun doesn't shine.

"Ahhh....you bloody bi..tc..h ah..." The guy who was gripping her neck from back yelped in pain gripping his treasure and she rubbed her neck to soothe the pain.

"Damn bitch. You just spray pepper in my eyes. Let me clean my eyes and show the hell to you." Another guy screamed in pain and tried to walk straight but fail miserably.

"You want to show me hell. Let me show you." She yelled and gripped the guy's hair making him groan in pain.

"Le...av...e me bi....It fucking hu...rt." The boy tried to remove her hand but she tightens the grip.

"Where is the man in you? Runaway already. Don't think that woman who walks at night are weak. Some might be dangerous like me. Next time don't repeat the same mistake." She said gritting her teeth and pushed him hard on the ground once he nodded his head.

The other boy was advancing towards her but I grabbed the guy and beat the shit of him while others were crying in pain.

"Leave him Shaub. They have tasted enough medicine. Let them go." Shalifa said tying her hair with a band. And with one last punch, I left the guy and both ran away glaring at Shalifa.

"What the hell was that?" I asked her placing my hands on her shoulder in a pissed tone.

"That was the self defense. Those disgusting bastards were trying to rob me." She said swatting my hands away and grabbed her clutch from the ground.

"They might have been dangerous and you-" I was cut off by her loud sigh.

"I'm more dangerous than they're. Those freaking stupid guys. Trying to boast about their manhood when they were beaten to a pulp by a woman." She said moving towards the car.

I was amazed to see her like this as no woman would have to scare two guys but would have cried for help. I mean I don't how she managed to tackle those freaking bastards. But I need to say that I'm impressed by her moves and she is really feisty.

"I hear you." I hear her say with a boring expression and she gets inside the car.

"Why did you left the gala?" I asked once I settle in the driving seat.

"I was kinda bored." She said looking outside the window giving I-don't-wanna-talk look and with one last one at her, I started driving the car while shaking my head.

This woman is something, I better be clear full otherwise I will also have to taste the medicine.

Also, I got a feisty wife.
