“Revenge is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.’’

I woke up, the rays of the sun peeking through the blinds of my window. Arms were tightly wrapped around my waist. It was another morning, another day at Malik Industries. I groaned tilting my body slightly to see my husband still snoring, his mouth parted. I caressed his cheek, hoping he would wake up. His eyes fluttered open, revealing his gorgeous amber eyes. A smile curved in his lips as I caressed his face.
“Good morning, babe.’’ His deep morning voice sent shivers down my spine.
“Good morning to you too.’’ I greeted back as he watched me, amusement dancing in his eyes.
He leaned forward, giving me a soft kiss on the lips. We pulled away shortly after, a long day is coming for the both of us.
“I’ll just take a shower.’’ My statement caused him to frown. I pecked his nose once more before leaving the comforts of bed to wander the warmth of the shower.
It only took minutes before my bare body gracefully floated the room. Zayn watched amusedly as he eyed my naked body. I winked at him as I began to search for a decent dress to wear on my impossibly gigantic closet.
I finally chose a crimson red dress that flows just above my knees. I did my makeup and curled my highlighted hair. I smiled in satisfaction. When I was finished, Zayn was done taking a shower. He wrapped his arm around my frail waist.
“My wife is so beautiful.’’ He complimented as his eyes scanned our reflection in the mirror. I blushed as I pushed him away. He was in fact, naked.
“Go get dressed, Malik.’’ I said earning a chuckle from him. He unwrapped his arms around me and began digging into his pile of clothes. I sprayed perfume on myself and I was ready to go.
**************
Our black limousine stopped in front of the tall building. Zayn climbed out first, and he opened the door for me. I smiled as I took his hand, and we both descended the steep path to the inside of the building.
Zayn and I bid farewell as I saw my office, his lips planting a passionate kiss on my lips. He ascended the elevator to his C.E.O room upstairs.
He already told his assistant last night about the hiring of my new assistant so now, piles of wannabees are lining in front of my office. I groaned as I walked past them, unlocking the room to my office.
I groaned as my back rested on my cozy leather chair. I fixed the files on my desk, to make look presentable to the people that will come inside my room. I took my compact powder out of my bag to see if I look my best. Indeed, of course I do. I called Zayn’s assistant, signaling that I am now ready for accepting people on my office. I heard her call something. A young woman nervously walked in, her steps careful as she made her way towards me. She handed me her folder. I scanned it carefully before turning to the young woman.
“Name?’’ I asked her with a raised eyebrow. Her blue eyes nervously met mine as her mouth parted. I realized she will not do. Before she can respond,
“NEXT!’’ I screamed, causing her to almost jump back. She left the room, tears silently rolling down her cheeks. I smirked. I made another human being cry.
Almost twenty minutes of interviewing wannabees, I grew tired. No one seems perfect enough for my assistant. I sighed as I screamed “Next!’’ for almost the hundredth time.
I fixed myself once more on my compact as I waited for the next wannabee. I am now really frustrated and tired. I mean, the wannabee assistants of mine are so annoying. They cry or beg in front of me!
The door to my room creaked, causing my eyes to land on the door. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. I can’t believe the boy I have resented all my life is standing just meters away from me. I never thought we will cross each other’s paths this early…
But let the game begin……
I will make your life a living hell...............
