Seducing My Heartless Husband

Lucas kept quiet, he too didn’t know why he called her. After parting in her house that day, it’s been a week and he had not heard from her.

He had been expecting her call everyday. He was tired from waiting and finally decided to call her, yet he didn’t know what to say to her.

The silence was long stretched. Marina wondered if the call had been disconnected but then that wasn’t possible because she didn’t hear the beep sound.

She removed the phone from her ear and looked at it and confirmed that the call was still ongoing.

” Why are you silent? Don’t you have anything to say? if not then am hanging up now!” Marina said seriously. She could have entertained him abit but now she was in no mood for that.

Her buttocks were hurting for sitting for too long not to mention her neck which had turned stiff due to the position she was in while reading.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Her body felt wasted, each muscle was hurting and all she wanted was to finish going through the file then retire for the night.

It was already past nine and she was still in the office.

Lucas on the other side heard the shuffling of papers and frowned.

” Where are you?” He asked his mood turned sombre.

” In the office doing some work.” Marina answered and continued to go through the numbers written while jotting down some unclear digits which she didn’t understand to layer ask the finance department for clarification.

” It’s so late at night what are you doing working at this hour?” Lucas questioned, his voice sounded like a father scolding his child but it held a faint concern in it.

“Is Mr Morgan concerned about me?” Marina fired.

She didn’t see any reason that stone faced man will be concerned about her. Although the last time, he proved to be not as bad as she thought, still that was no enough reason for him to sound concerned about her.

” I am not concerned, I am just worried I’ll become a window even before I get married.” Lucas replied with a straight voice.

” Hah! We aren’t married yet nor did I accept to marry you already, don’t you think your statement is ridiculous?” Marina retorted back.

” But we will get married Sooner.” was Lucas’s reply to her words sending Marina speechless.

” You are so confident in yourself, aren’t you Mr Morgan? What if I decide to not Marry you anymore?” Marina angrily asked.

She did not like it One bit when people thought they had control over her and that was what that stone faced was thinking of her.

She has to admit that when it comes to this matter, he was completely right. For her father’s sake and her own peace of mind, she didn’t have any better candidate to be her husband except for him.

” It’s okay if you decide not to get married to me, it’s your loss anyway. It is your father you are going to disappoint.” Lucas cruelly pointed out the facts.

Marina was obviously angry, but she couldn’t do anything to vent her anger.

She could only silently endure it and wish that she could bash that man’s head on a pillow until it looked like mashed potatoes.

” Why did you call?” Marina asked yet again. She could feel that if she continued arguing with Lucas, she’ll end up with a terrible headache. She still wanted to sleep later when she goes home so she restrained her anger.

She will definitely get back at him in the future, she consoled herself.

” i just called to remind you that your time is running up, make up your mind as soon as possible, my patience is short-lived.” Lucas said and immediately hung up the phone.

Marina cursed him for thinking he has absolute control over her but still felt helpless because in this matter, he sure had control over her.

Lucas was in a good mood after the conversation with Marina.

He was damn sure that by now she was cursing him calling him names and smiled at that thought.

He had initially out of impulse called her, he did not know why but found himself dialing her number.

When she received the call and get heard her pleasant voice, his heart calmed down almost instantly. He had been waiting to hear from her and each day ended with disappointment.

She didn’t call.

So he took the initiative to call her not knowing what to say.

He didn’t expect her to be working so late and was really concerned about her, but she had made fun of his concern.

He decided to annoy her to pay her back for her sarcastic remarks. To be sincere, he loved teasing her and making her angry.

She always looked like an injured tigress whenever he made her angry. It was something he found amusing and at the same time… attractive.

Lucas was very much aware that Marina had an effect on him. He knows that she wasn’t any woman to him.

She was able to arouse him just by kissing something that even Tina couldn’t do.

Yes, he was attracted to Tina and liked her, but the few times they kissed, which could be counted by the fingers on his left hand, he didn’t react like he did when Marina kissed him at the airport.

Even the marriage proposal wasn’t made solely because he needed a wife, no.

He wanted to keep her by his side and know what it is he felt for her.

He had an inkling of an idea that maybe he was falling in love with her, but his mind failed to acknowledge that.

Love was the last thing he wanted to hear, not after the betrayal he suffered in the name of love.

He believes that it was part of life but his heart had learned to coat itself and hide away from that complicated feeling called Love.

He did not want to go through the same once more.
