Bride For Rent novel Chapter 47

As the days flew by, Raymond was finding it more difficult to keep his calm. Felicity was still avoiding him, technically, what he means is that for the past five days he has been back, he had only seen her in split glances. She tends to take the other way when she sees him coming and is fond of locking herself in her room always.

She stays inside till he leaves for work in the morning and runs up her room once his back. He had tried coercing her with a lot of things like ice creams, cakes, candies and even to take her to the amusement park but nah, Felicity never opened up to him.

What surprises him more is why he cared, why does he bother? Why does her avoiding him always cause him sleepless nights?

For crying out loud, he is not attracted to her and he will never be. But why is it that every time she runs away from him, he is always broken?

Everyday he go back home with one snack or the other, hoping for her to talk to him because of it but at the end, he will just dump it in the trashcan because Felicity refused to even look at him. He was more annoyed at himself for even hoping on her to go back to the way she used to be. Always asking him for things and bugging him to take her to the amusement park.

Natalia calls him almost every night as well as his other bimbos but he always gets annoyed when he sees their calls and most times he just ignored them. To his disappointment, Katherine doesn't even bother to help him talk to Felicity and he can't bring himself to ask her. Damn, it will be letting down his pride to ask Katherine to talk to Felicity for him.

For goodness sake he doesn't care, if she wants to avoid him then she should go ahead, he is not going to kill himself trying to buy her back, after all, their marriage is almost at it's end and soon they will be going their different ways.

All that is left is for his grandparents to return and then sign over the Baldwin Empire to him and the deal will be done. They will sign the divorce papers and he will go back to living his life as always and Felicity can go back being the child she always is.

He was sitting in the living room watching the news, something he rarely do but he needs to get his mind off thinking for a while. It's too much and it's driving him insane.

He is one hundred percent sure that Mercy will tell Katherine about what happened and he wished the ground will just open and swallow him. He really can't name what power Felicity has over him that he always do things he has never done with anyone before with her. First he had to clean her mouth which was smeared with ice cream on their first day out and had to ride those ridiculous kid's rides in the amusement park just to please her. He kissed her and had to lie to her just to get her not to tell and he addresses his dick which women loves a lot as sausage just for her sake.

He slumped on the sofa and sighed, wiping his face with his palms, "what have you done to me Felicity?" He whispered.

As if mentioning her name, he remembered how she was curling herself on the bed just few minutes ago and without knowing, he was smiling. She looked so cute and so...so...lovable, charming, adorable, childish yet sexy.

He groaned and pray for his grandparents to be back soon so that he can stop this foolishness before he loses himself to it.
