My Wife is a Sassy Queen

James stormed out of the private room and smoked three cigarettes back to back.

Only then did he calm down.

He banged his fist on the wall and cursed.

James was not sure what was wrong with him. He liked Mariana a lot. He was not sure if his feelings were love or something else, but he liked her and cared for her a great deal.

He wanted to make her happy and see her cheeky smiling face all day long.

But every time they were together, they ended up fighting. He would say something hurtful and humiliating.

He could not understand what was wrong with him. He could not bring himself to leave her, at the same time, he just seemed unable to make her happy.

They had made love last night. It was amazing. She was not a virgin, he could not feel any barrier, but she was very clearly inexperienced.

He was slightly annoyed that she had a man that she had liked and trusted enough to get intimate with, but at the same time, he was also happy that she had not lost her virginity while on drugs. Besides, he was not a virgin either, so he did not mind it.

However, he spat venom while arguing. Even he could tell that his words had made her feel cheap.

Now that he had calmed down, he could not understand what the fuck was wrong with him. How could he have said something so demeaning to her?

James heaved a sigh. No, he was not going to let this get between them.

He would get breakfast for her, apologize to her, and they would make up.

He liked her and did not want to lose her.

James vowed to make things right and rein his anger this time around.

Fate, however, seemed to be against him.

When he was waiting in the queue to get Mariana’s favorite croissants and caramel latte, he received a call from his mother.

Before he could speak, his mother bellowed, “James, what is going on between you and Mariana? I thought Andrew Jacobsen’s daughter was a good girl. But what is going on?”

James was confused, “Mom, slow down! What’s going on? What are you talking about?”

She stammered and added, “Did you not see the news? It’s live.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

James had a bad feeling about it.

He hung up and quickly checked his phone to see Mariana being surrounded by reporters.

“Shit!”

He was about to dash when the waitress brought his order. He picked up and left without a word.

James kept an eye on the phone as he drove back to the club.

He heaved a sigh to see Liam taking care of Mariana, but at the same time, he hated himself that he could not protect her.

He watched as Liam indirectly threatened everyone and insinuated that Mariana was resting alone.

James did not know how to feel when Liam stressed that he had been watching over her from the adjacent room.

Was Mariana agitated because he had brought her instead of Liam?

But he was sure that Liam and Mariana were just friends. Did she like him secretly?

No! James shook his head.

He had doubted her enough times and ended up hurting her. He was not going to do that anymore.

James arrived at the club and found the door locked.

Only when the cops arrived, was the door opened.

James felt his heart clench on seeing Mariana hiding in Liam’s arms like an injured animal.

He lowered his head in shame. He had no right to even go to her and comfort her.

He was indirectly responsible for this.

Had he not fought with her, had he not stormed out like that, he could have protected her.

James passed Mariana’s breakfast to Liam and stood outside.

He was going to personally investigate who had tried to sabotage her and take his revenge.

James took one last look at Mariana and left with a heavy heart.
