Shouldn't Have Kissed You

Chapter 8

Chris pulled his car in front of the tall building. It was funny how the week moved so fast that now he

was attending his own event. He couldn't help but think that it was just yesterday.

The day that his mum had brought them her wedding present. The day that she insisted on them going

for that honeymoon even after he and his wife had given a million excuses.

His wife? That was now making sense to him. It wasn't foreign to him anymore but it wasn't the best. If

he thought of it, then it was for revenge and not love. Hate, the hatred that he had vowed to give her all

his life.

It was her fault for everything bad that was happening to him. Hers for not being able to be with the

love of his life. Hers for not proposing to Kimberly on this very day as he had planned for, for months

now.11

It was her fault that he called the line her name and not Kimberly. The name he knew would make his

woman say yes the moment he went down on his knee. And it was also her fault for not trying to

convince his mum about the honeymoon.6

And for that, he was going to make her pay. He was going to humiliate her in front of the entire world

without them noticing anything. It was his revenge tonight and nothing could make him happier than

that.2

Chris unfastened his seat belt and walked out of the car. The cameras were flashing on his face the

moment he got out of it. He walked to the other side and opened the door for his wife. He saw her smile

at his as a way of appreciation.

Chris smiled back since the cameras were focused on them. But he had a secret of his own. A secret

that he knew she had no idea off. Not for long. Maya was going to get what she deserved. And that,

made his smile grow broader.1

Chris moved his hand to her small back but not before hurting her. Yes, he did it in front of the cameras

and he loved what he saw. She was in pain but yet, she smiled at the camera as if everything was

okay.

That's how she was taught and he couldn't take it away. After all, she was the governor's daughter and

if there were people who knew how to act, it was the politics. And they also made the family to learn

how to do it. So he wasn't surprised at Maya's pretence even though he saw the hurt in her eyes.

Chris, what do we expect from the show?

Will your wife take part in modeling?

Do you think that the line will sell more because of your wife?

Is it true that this marriage is forced?

Are you cheating on your wife after one week in marriage?

Why name your line after your wife Chris?

The reporters threw one question after another but Chris said nothing. How could he when all the

answers that he was going to give for those questions were lies. Lies that Maya made him to be in. Lies

that were going to be paid for.

Chris wanted to answer then. To tell them that everything was true. He wanted to say that he knew the

line will bring him allot of money because of his wife. It was her name after all was going go be used.

And Maya was the governor's daughter. And apart from that, she was among the best doctors in the

country and all her patients were loyal to her. They wouldn't disappoint when it came to this line. So,

yes, he used his wife for money.

Ooh!!! And this marriage? Chris wanted to shout to the whole world and tell them it was forced. He

wasn't in love with Maya but he was forced to marry her by her dad. By Freeman, who to the eyes of

the society is a saint while in real life he was a demon in person. So he needed to let it out but the only

person who was available for that was Maya. She was the one paying but he didn't give a damn about

it.

Chris pushed his wife inside the building not saying a word to anyone whom he met on the hallway. It

was the best thing to do at that moment. He lead her to the place where the event was taking place and

showed her her seat.

Of course he had to act like a gentleman and wait till she was on her seat before he sat down next to

her. All he had to do was to sit and wait for his partner and friend to start the show has they agreed.

Just then, the lights in the room went dim and Chris fixed himself for one hell of a show. He knew he

was the best and his clothing would sell from that moment. All he had to do is sit back and enjoy the

whole show. Because to him, it had just started.2
