Ouch! my ceo fiancé fell for his maid by Lisa alman novel Chapter 101

101-It's Fate Again

I clearly underestimated my boyfriend and my husband. Despite such a serious issue, they both were engaged in a staring contest now. None of them wanted to back off.

"Ok, guys,” I clapped to get their attention, "Can we sort it out like adults please?" "There is nothing to sort it. You are my wife!" Justin said not moving an inch.

"Exactly, Mr. Deluca." Gerald was proving to be a true friend, "She might be your wife. I might be her boyfriend. But I am not leaving her side unless she asks me to do so."

Now their eyes were on me.

"Ashley. You should tell him that we are still married!" Justin said without even bothering to look at me.

"I will, Justin." I said and earned an affectionate smile from him until I finish it off, Ì will exactly do that if you can give US some space... Some privacy."

He frowned and looked at me, "It shouldn't take that long to tell him that..." "Justin!" I forced some warning vibes into my voice, "Can you please wait outside? I need to talk to Gerald."

Justin kept looking at me and then just to make Gerald jealous he came forward and kissed my forehead, "I am waiting for you in the parking." He was about to turn around when Gerald spoke, "You can leave, Mr. Justin. I will drop her home.” Justin was about to open his mouth in protest when I gave him a don't-mess-with-me look.

"Gerald, honey. Can you wait for a little bit?" Without waiting for his reply, I held Justin's arm and almost pulled him with me.

"Where are we going? And why this as*hole was calling you, his girlfriend?

You called him HONEY! Kitten!"

Instead of responding to any of his whinings, I stopped, once inside the reserved parking lot.

"Justin," I knocked on his car so that he could unlock the door, "Go home, baby. I will call you once I will reach home."

He went quiet after that. I had this sudden urge to touch his jaw that he was clenching with all his might. The nerve ticking there, I wish I could trace it with my finger.

When he was inside the car and was about to close the door, I leaned down and kissed his cheek, "Justin."

Instead of looking at me, he stared ahead, "Go to him, Ashley. He might be waiting!" Oh, great. He was mad at me. Without giving any explanations, I straightened, 1 "I guess you are right!" with that I banged the car door and went out of the parking lot without a backward glance.

Gerald was standing at the same spot where I left him.

"I can’t believe this," Gerald shook his head, "It seems like a romantic movie trailer being played before my eyes."

Gerald shuddered and chugged some coke from his can.

"I know, right?" I said while toying with my noodles. We both were in the university café that was almost secluded at this hour.

"So, you decided to barge into his engagement party where he was not getting engaged?" he remarked in disbelief, "I never knew you were a zero zero seven!" "Ah! You underestimated me, Gerald? Shame on you!" I threw a noddle piece at him that he dodged successfully.

We stayed quiet for some time, both busy in our own thoughts when I felt his hand covering mine, "What do YOU want, Ash?" he asked me with concern.

When I didn't reply, he chuckled, "No matter how much you hated him.

Deep down you still have feelings for him."

I bobbed my head before turning my palm up and holding his hand, "I know."

I could manage only two words.

After two years the Deluca guy could still make me weak in the knees whenever he used to look at me with those golden orbs.

'Then why you are taking so long? Go to him! Tell him how you care for him. You love him." "And what about you?" I nudged his hand.

"What about me?" he laughed not understanding, "You do know we were never a real couple." "But among other students we were. Everyone here knows that we were about to get engaged. Your reputation might suffer. Even your parents thought that we were head over heels." I shrugged.

I was in love with this guy. He had been such an understanding and non- judgmental fellow.

"Let me worry about my reputation and my parents, Ash." He squeezed my hand, "Go to Justin. Don't let him slip out of your grip this time. And if... By any chance if he tries again to get rid of you then maybe call me and I can murder him for hurting you."

He had gotten misty-eyed by then.

"Oh, Gerald." I stood up from my seat and went to him, "Get up. I need a hug."

He was at once on his feet and was rubbing my back to calm me down.

"Thanks, G." I said leaning my cheek on his chest, "You know, I love you!" "I love you too, Ash. You are someone so precious. You deserve the world. I wish I was a straight guy. I really need someone to give that Deluca guy some tough competition."

I pinched his arm before pulling back from the hug.

"By the way, don't forget me when you have kids and a well-settled life with Justin." He requested me sadly.

"And why would I do that, G? You are my best friend. The only one apart from Eve and Aniya. If your old folks give you a tough time and don't accept your se*xual preferences, then please you are welcome to crash at my place.

"Are you talking about your apartment or the Deluca mansion?" he teased me, but I remained serious, "Both!"

He pulled me again into his embrace which always offered me comfort, home, and love.

"G?" "Hmm?" "Don't forget that I will always be your friend. I hope you won't be mad at me for breaking the deal." 'You must be nuts, love. Why would I do that?" I felt him kissing my head, "I told you a long time back that getting into a fake relationship with me is nothing but unnatural from your side. I always wanted you to stay happy. With a real guy. With a real marriage."

He got back and looked down at me, "Just tell your Deluca guy to take care of you. Otherwise, this time, I might kick his ass."
