Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 57

Having a hangover was a bitch.

At the moment, his head was pounding like it was about to explode. No matter what the situation was, he felt like lying down.

"Yo, why are you laying down again? Get up and scram, you're blocking my front door. You realize you're blocking my house, right?"

Cecilia didn't expect Owen to flop back down on the ground. After a moment of surprise, she gave him another kick. Owen, once again was kicked by Cecilia. He got pissed off and grabbed Cecilia's kicking leg. With a yank, Cecilia lost her balance and fell flat on her butt.

The pain zinged through her backside, making her gasp.

What a jerk! She swung her other leg towards Owen, swearing and kicking at him, "I'm gonna kick your ass, you jerk!"

"You're the jerk!"

Owen's head was killing him and his mood was sour. Cecilia kept kicking him without any regard and kept calling him a jerk. He wasn't going to be polite anymore. Soon he had Cecilia sprawled on the ground.

Cecilia felt dizzy, her vision blurred and the back of her head ached. It took her a while to recover. She didn't dare to kick him anymore and rolled a few feet away before getting up. Cecilia dusted herself off while shooting him an evil glare.

"I have a headache. You better not annoy me. Let me lie down a bit. I'll leave eventually."

Owen said coldly.

Then he pulled out his phone and wallet from his pocket. He took out all the cash from his wallet and tossed it in Cecilia's direction, saying indifferently, "This money is for renting this little spot in front of your house."

Then he called his bodyguard, asking his bodyguard to bring him some clean clothes and pick him up.

But he didn't know where he was, so he asked Cecilia, "Where am I?"

"Pinehurst."

"I know it's Pinehurst, I'm asking for the exact address."

"Why should I tell you? Are you an idiot, can't you send a location?"

Owen's headache got worse because of Cecilia's remarks. He was an intelligent man. It was only because he was in a bad mood and had a bit too much to drink. His head was still a bit dizzy and painful when he woke up, his thinking not fully recovered yet.

Cecilia picked up the money and asked Owen, "Are you getting up or not? My mom is going to buy groceries in a bit. She'll think you're a corpse if she sees you lying here. Will you be responsible if you scare her? My mom has a minor heart condition. She couldn’t be startled.”

After Owen sent the location to his bodyguard, he glanced at the money Cecilia picked up. He had already paid the fee to continue laying there. This girl took his money and still wanted to kick him out, she was so greedy!

He was a businessman; while many were shrewd, and Owen conceded that he had the ability to be a cunning businessman, she was even greedier than him. At least, when he took someone's money, he wouldn't immediately back off.

Cecilia saw his intention, knowing that he was not planning to get up. She didn't bother to rush him and turned around to walk back.

Owen was speechless. She just gave up like that?

God, his head hurt! Owen closed his eyes, rubbing his throbbing temples, while regretting drinking so much.

The wound Ruby left in his heart was deep. He couldn't control himself and ended up drinking so much.

After sobering up, his feelings for Ruby still filled his heart. He couldn't accept it! Compared to Stefan, where did he fall short?

Ten years ago, Ruby tried to start a relationship with Stefan but failed. Ten years later, she still didn't give up and wanted to try again. He waited for ten years, silently gave away ten years, and in the end, he became her tool to pursue Stefan.

The more Owen thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more his headache intensified.

The door was opened again. Cecilia came out with a basin of water.

Seeing this, Owen had a bad feeling. He tried to get up quickly, but due to the hangover, his movements were much slower, and before he could get up, he was drenched from the basin of cold water Cecilia threw.
