Caspar's POV.
Hiding my smile, I asked, "Are you perhaps jealous that another woman knows my codename?"
"J-E-A-L-O-U-S?" Bella repeated, dragging the words in a dramatic way. "Mr husband, why would I be jealous of you talking to other women? I-I'm just concerned about your identity getting revealed!"
"Oh my bad," I laughed, turning my face to not show her that I had caught her lying.
"Hey, you are getting it all wrong. I'm just trying to protect you..."
"Protect me?" I commented sarcastically and looked back at her embarrassed face. She was so cute that I couldn't control myself from kissing her. Closing the distance between us, I softly pecked on her soft lips.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked at me with her eyes full of condensing emotions. She was definitely questioning my actions, of first mocking her and then suddenly kissing her.
"Caspar, you think it's funny?" Her tone changed as she sounded more serious now. Taking steps close to me, she said, ''You booked all the VIP seats in the stadium and even scheduled to attend the concert. Okay, I understand that you did to support the artists from your company but I'm baffled that you allowed her to touch you?"
"Are you fucking kidding? How could you do that to me?"
I was too stunned at her allegations, denying it would result in me getting silent treatment again. But I needed to clear the misunderstanding," Bella," I began. "You are just overthinking and there were other artists too. And I never hugged her back and also introduced you to them."
"So what?" She scowled. "You controlled your lust because I was with you otherwise you would have hugged her, kissed her and whatnot!"
Poking her index finger on my chest she continued nagging me. Oh god, I wasn't aware that Bella had this intense amount of jealousy. She was intentionally trying to blame me for things I didn't even commit.
Wasn't it too much for me when I had only her in my heart? She certainly still didn't know how insanely I was obsessed with her. Maybe she forgot my true self because I had been too soft towards her recently. That she started treating me like a snowflake. Did she think I had become patient and tolerant?
"Ah fuck," a nonchalant curse left my lips as I grabbed Bella's raised arms. Pulling her close to my face, I whispered, "Why are you getting so worked over by an average idol girl? Is she worthy of receiving the same treatment as you from me?"
"N-No... I mean–"
"What do you mean? Huh?" I interrupted her and flipped her over. Pressing her against the wall, I hovered over her and staring into her eyes I said, "I have my eyes only on you. There's no one before or after you. I'm fucking loyal man to you, Bella."
"I-I'm sorry... I was–"
"You were being jealous over silly reasons," I stopped her again in the middle of the sentence. Her face turned pale seeing me serious and indifferent. Well, that was a natural reaction, it seemed she had absolutely forgotten about my real temperament.
I trailed my fingers from her forehead to her lips and pausing, I rubbed her lower lip with my thumb while her eyes were curiously staring at me. I gave her a small smirk before bringing my lips close to hers.
Our noses collided, her warm breath feathered on mine. She slowly raised her arm around my shoulder to pull me down so that we could kiss. However I remained solid without any movements, my other hand slid underneath her neck as I tried to caress her collarbone and cleavage.
"What happened?" She asked, her lips desperately wanting to touch mine.
"Nothing," I replied as I shoved my thumb into her mouth. "You should see yourself in the mirror. You look so erotic when sucking on my thumb."
"And before you speak let me make myself clear to you," I initiated before she could object. "I love you and love only you. Also the wedding preparations have been prepared. We will be having a grand wedding next week."
"Really?" Her expression changed. " When did you manage to prepare everything? Are all invitations sent? The–"
"Shh," I covered her mouth. "You do not have to panic. Everything is done, we are going to sign the divorce papers and then officially marry each other. I don't want us to have a contractual marriage going on!"
"Yes."
We kissed each other but suddenly I heard cameras clicking and lights flashing on us. I turned back only to see the crowd of reporters and people clicking our photos. In our intense romance, I forgot that we were still in the parking lot where other idols had their cars parked.
The reporters followed the idols and noticed us. But it doesn't matter because I'm not worried about my relationship with Bella. Hugging her close to me, I posed for the photos.
"Are you insane? What are you doing?" Bella mumbled, annoyingly stomping on my shoe.
I didn't answer her and smiled because I was happy. I was imagining things I would do with her when we returned to our mansion. Tonight I was going to show her how romantic and fascinating my fantasies are.
***
However everything changed after a week, Bella asked me to postpone the wedding after signing the divorce papers. I couldn't understand and wanted to ask her but I was scared that I might say something rude and hurtful.
I tried to explain to myself that Bella might be collecting her feelings for me. As we were victims of marrying each other solely on a business basis...
But what made me impatient was when Bella moved out of my mansion and settled in her villa. It became hard to contact her since she stopped working as managing director in the McAdam Group and became fully immersed in her QUEEN broadcasting company.
And whenever I tried to meet her in her company, she would not be available or gone for important meetings.
"Just what's going on with her? Is she ignoring me or did something go wrong?" I growled, throwing the files and other things from my office desk.
"Seriously, what's wrong with her? I don't think I have done anything to deserve her cold treatment!" I said to myself and held my head in both hands.
"Boss, calm down," Alex tried to make me understand but it had been two months since she had been acting like this with me.
I will literally go mad if she continues ignoring me for no reason. Then suddenly something snapped into my mind and I looked at Alex in panic, "D-Did she find out about her father's deal with my father?"
"I think President Bella was already aware of it. Mr Austin Dior never kept any secrets with his daughter," Alex answered, and after a few minutes of thinking he said, "But I recently found out that she has her own assassination guild called 'Midnight Shadow.' And she has been meeting with its members every now and then."
"Okay but does that concern my situation?" I asked him.
He kept quiet because he said something that didn't concern my situation. It was not a big deal for her to meet her guild's members since she was their leader. Unable to suppress my feelings and urge to meet her, I dashed out of my office.
"Boss, where are you going?" Alex shouted at me; however I scolded him and ordered him to not follow me.
Today I must clear the misunderstanding between me and Bella, if she had any, or ask her the reason for treating me like this.
I drove to her villa, she wasn't there. I went to her company, but she wasn't there either. Frustrated, I arrived at the VIP club where I once found her drunk and chilling with a dude. And praise my instincts, she was there. All alone, drinking at the beer counter and talking to herself.
At Least that's what I thought but my perspective changed when I went closer to her. She wasn't drinking but sitting there with her eyes full of tears. When she saw me, she covered her face and began to walk away. I hurriedly grasped her wrist and dragged her to one of the corridors.
"Why?" I asked. "What have I done to deserve such a cold shoulder from you? Do you have any idea how hard I tried to explain to myself that you might be collecting your emotions and all..."
She kept quiet and kept staring into my eyes. For some reason, her silence was making me worried and scared... And when I wanted to ask her again, she palmed my lips and murmured, "No. Do not speak a word."
'But why? Why am I not allowed to ask you anything? Why are you being strange and treating me like I'm someone from your past?' Many questions were queuing one by one in my mind after seeing her behavior.
After a few minutes of silence, she smiled at me with her teary eyes and said, "I shouldn't have met you that night... You shouldn't have talked to me that night... Maybe if we had never crossed paths, this would have been easy for me."
"Bella, what's the matter? You are making me worried," I asked, removing her hand from my mouth.
"Your love was always forbidden for me... I shouldn't have lost my mind and become a lovesick person."
"Bella, what exactly happened? Mind explaining me for fuck's sake?" I growled, jolting her shoulders.
She smiled as she pulled me in a passionate kiss. My body reacted shockingly faster than I had thought. Holding her face in my hand, I kissed her back aggressively. Our eyes were closed, with her bodies rubbing against each other when suddenly I heard something obvious.
BANG BANG!
My body froze on the spot as my lips stopped. I looked down at my bleeding waist and then at Bella's face.
"Bella...why would you...?"
