Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

Chapter 24: Jealous



Jealous

RAYNE’S POV

The car pulled over at the ‘REGANCE’ clothing store. It was one of the most renowned fashion houses in Los Angeles and staring at it from afar, I could already tell why. Eric opened the door and held out a hand to me and I hesitated took it and he helped me down. As we walked towards the store, he suddenly stopped when his phone rang.

His brows creased into a frown as he took out his phone from his pocket.

“Go in, I’d be there shortly.” He said and I nodded and went inside.

As soon as I walked in, a dark-haired girl in a white shirt and pants walked up to me with a smile. “Hello, Ms. How may I be of help?”

“Uhh…” I stuttered a little. I still had no idea why we were here, so I didn’t know what to say to her.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“It’s okay to be confused in choice at times. Our store has the tendency to leave one perplexed. But, I could help you through making the right choice, but first, we’d have to know what you have in mind.” She said and I couldn’t help looking around for Eric. He was no longer standing outside.

I turned back to the girl in front of me, with an uncertain smile. “Can I sit and wait for my… hus… band?” I asked. That word was new to my lips and strange to my ears and I couldn’t help the slight heat that crept up my cheeks. “He’s outside,” I told her and she nodded with a smile.

“Sure.” She said and as she strolled away, I breathed in relief and stepped backward towards a lounge couch at the right end of the room. Sitting there, I found myself looking around in admiration.

The room was vast, like a six-bedroom flat filled with clothes of various brands and designs. With gold radiating chandeliers hanging down from the ceiling. The room was frantically cold at the end where I sat and I felt all the hairs in my body stand erect.

I rubbed my arms calmly, secretly regretting my choice of clothing. I locked eyes with a suit on one of the hangers, silently wishing I could wrap it around myself. And as if someone heard my wish, I felt an arm wrap a jacket around me. I tilted to my side and saw Eric looking down at me with a frown.

“Do you want to catch a cold, wife?” He asked.

“I… was waiting for you.” I stuttered and heard him sigh. Then he stretched out a hand toward me. “Come.”

I took his hand and just as we got up, a blonde girl, my age walked in hurried strides, with her heels clinking on the tiles as she approached us with a wide smile, and excited sea-green eyes fixed onto Eric. She was wearing a black body hug dress that accentuated her beautiful feminine curves and left her cleavage on display. She looked like she had just stepped out of a magazine. She ran her eyes over him, and bit on her lips. I could tell the look of seduction when I see one, I mean, every lady can. Plus, Eric had a thing against lip-biting. He had always warned me against doing it. I looked up at him, he had his eyes locked on the girl’s, and I felt my stomach knots tighten.

“Earic…” She said with an accent that I immediately recognized to be fake. She walked up to him and tried embracing him in a hug. I immediately looked away from them. How could he let another woman hug him when I’m right beside him?

“Mmh… You smell good.” She told him. Eric grinned at her, simultaneously pulling away. And as if it wasn’t enough already that she had hugged him, she put a hand on his chest and began rubbing him gently.

“Mmh, you’ve added a lot of muscles lately.” She added while caressing him on the chest and I felt my throat burning hot, drying up, and tightening hard at the same time. Then I felt him slide an arm around my waist, pulling me into himself.

“That’s enough, Ann, don’t make her turn into a tomato.” He said to the girl. I turned to look at them in shock, and they both chuckled.

ERIC’s POV.

I watched Rayne turning all red as I let Ann flirt with me. It was surprising how she was getting the job done right even though I had only texted her about my plan a few minutes ago, and it made me wonder who she had been doing this with.

But, most precious was the reactions from my little wife. When I had been thinking about this on our way here, I had never thought that she’d react in such a way. Is she already starting to like me?

I could see her nibbling on her lips, and her eyes blinking constantly on their own and I could only imagine what was going on through her little mind at the moment, so I thought to stop.

I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close to me. She looked up at me with innocently angry eyes and I couldn’t help but chuckle at how cute she looked at that moment. I felt like kissing her, but she wasn’t yet comfortable enough, so I kissed her forehead instead.

“Ann, meet Rayne Arnold, my wife. Wife, meet Ann, one of your sisters-in-law.” I introduced the two women to each other and saw their mouths go wide agog.

“Ohmygoddddd… Eric!!!” Ann screamed, grabbing the attention of everyone our way. “So it was true? I didn’t believe it when Jessica told me. Oh my godddd… I now have a sister-in-law, finally!”

I watched Ann’s drama and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her. She’s always been the dramatic one in the family and it didn’t help that she was the last child. I knew she was happy because she had just gotten herself a bestie.
