My Wife is a Sassy Queen

James got worried when Mariana did not come back for a while.

He went looking for her and finally found her on the balcony sighing while looking at her phone.

Despite her bad temper, he thought she was charming.

He watched as she pouted and scrolled her phone and finally called someone.

In just a minute, she was laughing.

But James felt bitterness in his heart when he saw her laugh.

She was always scowling in front of him, and yet there she was laughing like a giggly teenager while talking to someone else.

They hung up quickly enough and she smiled, shaking her head.

He went close and she frowned on seeing him.

His irritation grew.

“I was looking for you. You disappeared when you came out.” He said gently.

She looked at him strangely at the gentle tone and shook the goosebumps off.

James wanted to strangle her but kept his temper in check.

Her next words, however, made him fume.

“I was just talking to Liam and lost track of time. Let’s go inside, and please don’t kiss me again.” She said, nonchalantly.

Mariana was feeling much better after talking to Liam and had calmed down. It was just a kiss, she was single, and was not in love with anyone. She did not like being kissed without her consent, but since it was already done, there was no use making a big deal out of it.

James was even more annoyed at her indifference.

“What if I want to?” He asked through gritted teeth.

Mariana was stunned at the change in his expression, “what’s wrong with you?”

Annoyed with her reaction, he pushed her to the railing bar, caged her between his arms, and kissed her again.

He kissed her hard, punishing her for something he could not understand.

The more she resisted, the harder he kissed her.

James came back to his senses when he tasted something salty. He pulled back and saw her tears.

That sobered him up quickly. He wanted to apologize and say something but panicked and could not say a word.

Mariana had never felt that humiliated before. She tried to leave when he let go, but he pulled her back again. But this time he kissed her gently soothing all her grievances.

This sudden change stunned Mariana and she even forgot to push him away.

They were brought back by a loud “Opps”. They pulled back to see a gorgeous woman in a sexy black dress.

“James, is that you?” She looked excited and rushed to hug James, ‘accidentally’ pushing Mariana away.

James was stunned for a moment and when he came back to his senses he looked at Mariana instinctively only to see her teary eyes filled with indignation.

Mariana wiped her face and tried to go away again, but he pushed the beauty away and held her hand.

“This is Alice, she is a family friend.” James tried to explain.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Alice laughed, “Oh, James! Are you trying to deceive this poor helpless woman? Darling, don’t be deceived by his devilish charms. I am his first love, his first kiss, his first time, and forever a part of him, right babe?”

She looked at James and kissed him on the lips.

Mariana tried to break free but James held her back.

“Go away, Alice. You and I broke up a long time ago! And don’t touch me again.” James said, pushing Alice away.

“Let go!” Mariana finally spoke.

She had never been that humiliated before.

James could not even give her the most basic self-respect by not kissing another woman right in front of her less than a minute after forcibly kissing her.

It just showed how much he did not care about her. It was all his revenge, and she wondered how far he was going to go before he stopped.

“Mer, this is not what it looks like.” James tried to explain.

James did not know what to apologize for. He kissed her gently to apologize for his earlier rudeness.

He was shocked to see Alice there. She should have been abroad.

Moreover, he was stunned at her self-introduction. When he was still trying to understand what she was up to, she kissed him.

He was too surprised to act. It was Mariana’s tugging to break free that brought him back to his senses.

But just a look in her eyes, and he could tell the damage had been done.

Alice sniggered before he could say anything.

“Why are you still here? Get out of my face!” James roared at her.

“Fine! Grumpy bear. I will see you around!” Alice threw him a kiss and left without sparing a glance at Mariana.

“Listen, nothing is going on between Alice and me. We were over a long time ago, and I did not even know she was back to P city.” James tried to explain.

“We…” James paused when he realized he was about to confess something very embarrassing to Mariana.

But Mariana laughed, making him forget that train of thought.
