Chapter17 Catalaiyas pov : Today was finally Sunday . I woke up later than usual as I wasnt going to the office . I grabbed my phone before stepping out of my room . As I look straight , I could see Aziel walking out of his room . He suddenly looked up and our eyes locked . He was in a white t shirt and greyish shorts . We both walked forward and stopped near the stairs . Hi , he greeted me . Hi , You arent going to the office today ? He asked as he glanced at my outfit and I shook my head no . And you ? I asked . No , but Ill be working from home . He answered . We both made our way downstairs for breakfast . Thalia looked up at us and she smiled widely . For some reason for the last couple of weeks , she was really happy . We sat down for breakfast . It was now 1 pm and both Thalia and I was sitting on the couch , in the living room area . We were both drinking some fresh pomegranate juice that she made earlier . Aziel was in his room , working . We heard footsteps and we both turned toward the stairs just in time to see Aziel walking toward the front door . He was in his blue suit . He opened it and a few seconds later Adam walked in with a girl behind him . I know her , that was Alicia , Adams wife . I remember her from when Thalia showed me the pictures . Alicia looked bored and annoyed . She was also holding a few shopping bags in her hands . I cant believe you drag me from the mall to sit here in this house . Alicia glared at Adam . Adam ignored her and looked at Aziel , Are you ready ? We need to do this today . Yeah , lets go . Aziel nodded . Before going Aziel turned around to look at me , I have to go out for important work , I dont know Chapter17 25.70 % at what time Ill be back . I felt a weird warm feeling inside when he said that . I never expected him to tell me where he was going to or at what time he will be back . He usually call Thalia and she would tell me . I gave him a nod . Thalia , take my bags and made me some cold juice . I heard Alicia state . Thalia put her glass on the middle table and went to take the bags from her . Adam looked down at Alicia , shaking his head annoyed by her bitchy attitude . Behave , Adam warned her . She crossed her arm on her chest , looking straight into his eyes . Make me , Before Adam could do anything , Aziel grabbed his arm . Bro , lets go . They both walked out , closing the door behind them . Alicia sighed before turning toward us . Im sorry Thalia . She says more softly . Thalia chuckled , Its okay . Alicia turned toward me and she grinned , You must be the new bride . Yeah … Im Catalaiya . I introduced myself . Nice to finally meet you . Im Alicia , Adams wife . She used her fingers to quote the word wife . She walked to me and pulled me in a hug . They were right , you are really pretty . She commented . I was having mixed feelings about her . One minute , she was a bitch and then shes the sweetest girl . I think Thalia understood my little dilemma and she walked toward us while saying , Dont worry dear , this girl wont do any harm to you or anyone . She pretends to be mean and a bitch , but she isnt . I turned to Alicia , Why do you act like a bitch ? She grabbed the juice from Thalia and sat down on the couch . She pats the space beside her and gestures me to sit down . Chapter17 25.76 % Just like you and Aziel , Adam and I had an arranged marriage . Since day one he thought that I was a gold digger and he would constantly remind me that I marry him for his money which I didnt . I dont care about his money . Since then I act like he thought of me , like a bitch and a gold digger . She explained . She added . Since when are you two married ? I asked curiously . Almost two years now . She replied making my eyes widen . Thats a long time … I trailed off . I know , not gonna lie I was hoping that he would leave me within the first six months but that didnt happen . Instead , he would tolerate everything I do and say , she says before taking a sip from her drink . You were shopping before he brought you here ? Thalia asked and she nodded . I was in a shop when suddenly he appeared in front of me and dragged me out of there . I knew it was something important as he looked a little worry so I didnt argue much with him . She replied . Probably mafia related , Thalia added . Yeah , Adam had his gun with him . We continued to sip on our juice while she asked me about my life . We ended up talking like old friends meeting after a long time . She told me about her life too . She was a social worker before she got married to Adam and she was still doing it behind his back . She didnt want him to know about this as this wouldnt go well with her bitchy attitude . Why dont you girls go in the pool ? Thalia suddenly suggested . Alicia frowned , I wish , but I didnt bring any swimsuit or bikini with me . I can lend you one , I say . I have a lot of bikinis and Im sure one will fit on her . Then yes , she agreed excitedly . Ill make some fruity popsicles , Thalia said and we nodded. I made my way to my room , with Alicia following me . Once inside , she looked around and her eyes landed on my desk .
