“It is getting late, stop working now.” I closed the laptop and got up with my purse and phone in my hand. Xander, who expected me to take the flowers that I cherished usually, was frozen when I walked past him, leaving his present lying on my desk untouched.
“Isn’t this what you wanted in the morning? Why are you throwing a tantrum now?”
“I will look at them later..” Xander, seemingly displeased, did not say anything and moved out of the headquarters first and soon my phone beeped with notifications.
Diana posted a new picture of being surrounded by thousands of white roses with caption.
[Do you want to bury me in flowers?]
As soon as I got home, I did not wait for Xander to exit the car and headed straight to my room.
It was this day when we got married five years ago and it would be today when we should part.
I had already packed all the things that I bought from my parent’s house in a suitcase and left whatever Xander bought for me.
As soon as Xander entered the room he was surprised to see a suitcase lying yet he did not ask me anything.
"The French have invited us to their celebration in a week, do you want to attend as a couple?”
I didn't even hesitate. "No, I am busy."
Xander gritted his teeth and held my shoulders in a tight grip.
“Haven’t I already compensated you for those damn flowers?! Why are you still being so petty?”
“It’s a small matter, why would I mind?” I feigned ignorance.
“Alright, I will take Diana with me then!” I hummed, not minding or showing any reaction to which Xander stormed out of the room.
In the five years of our marriage, our fights were always initiated by Xander whenever he was angry and argued with me.
Considering his stress as the leader of the American mafia, I let him vent out his emotions on me before carefully trying to calm him down and propose a solution.
Despite not committing any mistake I always apologized first yet this time I tucked myself in the bed and slept peacefully.
The next morning, I did not cook and ordered a takeout for myself.
Xander came out of his room in a foul mood and when he saw me eating by myself, he ordered with a cold glare.
“Prepare the culinary dishes today for lunch. Don't slack around doing nothing!”
“I dont want to.”
