The Unholy Matrimony - Chapter 9
That very morning, Hunter marched straight into Andrew's room and delivered a great punch against his cheek. He grabbed his collar and threw him to the table, smashing it. Next, he kept on punching him until his fist covered with Andrew's blood. He shoved the letter he had in his pocket into Andrew's mouth and threw him back against the floor.
"You're fired, Andrew!" he
demanded, "Don't ever show your face around here again!" he pointed
at the door.
"What are you
doing?"Andrew staggered up and continued, "What has gotten into
you?"
"I don't want to hear any shit
coming out from your mouth!"he pushed him out from the room and shut the
door behind him.
He quickly gathered all Andrew's
stuffs and opened the door to throw all of them back at him. "Clean your
stuffs and get out!"he went back to his room without a backward glance.
Phoebe just arrived at the office to
see Andrew's face covered with blood. "What happened to your face?"
She managed a smirked. "Looks like somebody totally deserved it!"
She entered Hunter's room and
clapped her hands, "Nice going, and my hero! You truly made me
proud." She walked towards him and wrapped her hands around his neck. She
smelled anger, hate and lust combined in one. Big deal, she thought.
"So, why are you here,
babe?" Hunter led her to the couch nearby. He looked troubled and
vulnerable this time. His mouth twitched in an expression that was unreadable
to her.
"I just want to tell you that I
want to celebrate your birthday at a hotel," she said. She expected him to
be filled with joy once she mentioned it.
He sighed, "Well I don’t know
about that. There's lot of messes I needed to clean up and business to
clear." He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it, "I'll called
you an hour before to confirm."
Phoebe jumped, "Excellent, I
hoped you made it. I'm looking forward for this evening!" She left the
room and winked back at him.
Outside, she called Laura, the
seductress she hired to confirm the deal and job, "Get ready, we'll be
there around 8 pm, made sure you did it right. I will pay you once your job
done the next morning somewhere!"
"Not a problem, madam.” she
said. "Besides, it would be a pleasure to meet your very famous handsome
husband. It'll be an honor."
"Fine then." Click. Phoebe
climbed into her car and headed straight downtown to meet her parents before
heading back home to get ready.
Back at home, Phoebe hurried to her
room and searched throughout her wardrobe for a perfect clothes to wear
tonight. After a year, finally her payback time had come and she must looked
stunning on this day. She chosen the maroon cocktail evening dress matched with
her silk shawl draped across her bare shoulders. She pulled her hair into a
chick, French twist and worn a red stiletto high heel.
She reached her door knob to open it
and was surprised to see her husband standing there, all dressed for the
function. She sure will miss this face for her entire life.
"All set?" he asked her.
"Ready as hell!" she
replied.
Both climbed into the car and they
headed towards the Wayne hotel for the birthday bash celebration.
The party was definitely hopping.
They got popular bands playing there along with other sorts of entertainment to
keep the guests there feeling entertained. Phoebe sat with Hunter in their
chosen booth, satisfying their thirsts with champagne. He looked at her with
that long smoldering look, she understood that this temptation will end soon
and she just played along.
Hunter blew his birthday candles and
sliced the cakes into pieces. He took one slice and fed Phoebe before using his
mouth to take some from her mouth. Next, there were champagne flowing and so on
and around 2 am, the crowd cleared and everybody said goodbye to each other and
went home.
While Hunter left alone with Phoebe
in the booth, they shared a passionate kiss and Phoebe shuddered for a while.
"Why, something matter?"He asked looking concerned.
"Nope, I just lost in my thoughts,"
Phoebe reassured him. He excused himself and went to the counter to pick up
their door card. Phoebe took the pill from her purse and dropped a few of them
to the champagne, stirred them and pretending to look normal.
Hunter came back to the booth and
took a few sip from his glasses, unaware of the drug that Phoebe had put
inside. "Alright, let's go upstairs. I want to ravish you tonight."
He sneered teasingly.
They took the elevator to go up to
level 13 and while inside, Hunter couldn't keep his hands off her. He squeezed
her breast and nipped at her shoulders while his other hands fingering her
thigh. She steadied him and led him to the room, Hunter already felt the effect
of the drug and found himself lost in his world.
Phoebe helped him undress and she
went to the bathroom and called Laura, "Now, in room 1323!" She
clicked her phone off and went back there, "I needed to get something at
the office first and I'll be back in an hour or two, alright?" before she
laid him on the mattress and tiptoed her way out quietly. She given the keys to
Laura and walked off. I'm sorry, she said to herself.
The sun had finally risen and bathed
the room where Hunter was sleeping. He squinted his eyes a few times and
stretched, yawning to find a shock of horror lying next to him. What happen
to me, he confused. Who is she?
The womanly figure lying next to him
with hand draped across his chest. Silver blonde hair caressed his shoulder, this
isn't Phoebe! He quickly struggled to climb out of the bed but her hands
and body crushing him.
Suddenly, Phoebe popped in with her
parents and screamed in surprise. Phoebe headed towards him and smacked him
across the face hard; he tumbled back to the bed. "Bastard, you just the
same as what I known you years earlier!" She looked at her dad and
sneered, "Look at your precious son-in-law!" She left the room and
Hunter climbed out of the bed trying to chase her, wearing his boxer.
Hunter looked back at Victor, "Mr.
Bennett, it wasn't like what you think it is."
Victor sighed, "You disappointed
me my son, big time!" He left without a word, Patty followed him behind.
Hunter arrived home later that day,
calling Phoebe to confront her and apologized to her about what happened. As he
reached his living room, he found they were crowded with lawyers, rivals,
ex-lovers and press. He looked puzzled as Phoebe went down the stairs looking
triumphant and proud, the look he hadn't seen in months. She stood next to a
lawyer whom she introduced as her representative in the transferring of
ownership and divorce.
There are witnesses that involved
his ex-flames, business rivals and so on. Instead of he manipulated her, she
manage to get ahead of him first. He shouldn't have underestimated her power.
"What are you doing, Phoebe?"He asked weakly.
"I'm filing for divorce &
ownership transfer," Phoebe pointed out. The words divorce enraged him
more. He rushed towards her and dragged her to the corner.
"Why are you doing this? Don’t
you have enough with this revenge?" he asked her. For the first time, she
noticed tears running down his cheek. "I can't believe you are capable of
this treachery, is this how you repay my love to you?"
Phoebe explained, "I want
justice. You stolen the fortune out from my family and threaten them to marry
me off with you to secure my share. You also using me to cover your dirty past,
don't you?"She raised her eyebrow.
"Your family's fortune already
in jeopardy, I can't let it slipped away. I loved your family like mine, I
never done anything to hurt you!" he claimed.
He rushed towards a hidden file
cabinet that he hid all the files regarding the fortune. "Look here, I'm
helping you from trouble. If you want it all you have to do is ask! You never
even care about this when I first met with your family about it," he
sighed, disappointed. "And since I met you, I hadn't strayed because I
loved you and intended to spend the rest of my miserable life with you!"
He looked away, unable to control his anger.
