My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liam woke up with a start.

He had arrived at the private club after Mariana’s call. But he was too late, James had taken her to a room.

He was unsure of their dynamics, but he knew James was not thoughtful enough to take his intrusion kindly.

The one to get hurt would be Mariana ultimately.

Liam thought of leaving, but he saw the woman Alice, who was supposedly James’s ex-girlfriend or current fling, he was unsure. She was talking to some reporters and that alarmed him.

Hence, he had decided to wait and see if Mariana needed him. As such, he booked the room next to theirs and stayed overnight.

The rooms were soundproof, so he kept the door of his room slightly open and slept close to his door in case of an emergency.

In the morning, he woke up with a start when James and Mariana’s door was banged close.

Liam decided to check and he could see a fuming James leaving their room without even closing the door properly.

Liam went inside and found a crying Mariana.

He told her to get a shower and put some clothes on and cleaned up the room.

If anyone showed up, it would be bad for Mariana if the room looked and smelled of sex.

Liam told her to get ready to leave through the bathroom door and went to his room to freshen up.

When he was still brushing his teeth, he overheard some commotion and went to check after cleaning up hastily.

Mariana was screaming in the middle of the room covering herself with a blanket as reporters were taking pictures of her.

Liam closed the door with a bang and locked the door from inside.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He made his way to Mariana who immediately threw herself in his arms.

The reporters were disappointed to see her in proper clothes. But they were ecstatic to see the man and to see them hugging each other.

They had received quite a few headlines and click-baits for the next few days.

Liam looked at them coldly and held Mariana tight.

He took his phone from one hand ignoring their jarring questions and the flash of their cameras.

“Chief Cruise, Liam speaking. I am staying in Room 1403 of Tansy’s Private Club. Let’s have some tea while we look into the privacy and security of this club.

Send someone to Room 1402 to arrest reporters for trespassing, invasion of privacy, and defamation. And find out who it was who spiked my best friend’s drink.”

“…”

“Mariana Jacobsen, Andrew Jacobsen’s daughter, best friend of the wife of Jonathan Smith. You know who she is?”

The reporters stopped clicking pictures as they stood transfixed.

Unless Liam was showing off, which did not seem likely judging by his demeanor, he had just called the chief of police of P city – Jeffery Cruise.

Their astonishment turned into fear when they heard him calling someone else.

“Lil, do you know who owns Tansy’s Private Club?”

“Someone spiked Mer’s drink last night. She stayed back in Room 1402 only to wake up surrounded by reporters. It’s a good thing she was only disheveled and not naked because this does not look good.”

“She is pretty shaken.”

“Yeah, but send them to Room 1403, I stayed in the adjacent room to keep watch.”

“Not at the moment, I am meeting Chief Cruise in a while. It will take some time. Send someone to take Mer back, and for the love of God, teach her to not dismiss her bodyguards.”

“I will see you later. By the way, I am sending you a picture of all the reporters in this room. You know what to do.”

“This is P city, no woman should have to worry about their drinks getting spiked, or about reporters barging into their private rooms, or to be defamed like this.”

“I will handle the investigation. You take care of these immoral reporters. Who even gave them the license?”

The reporters all shuddered and stopped filming.

Liam had not spoken even one thing to them directly.

He took a picture and sent it to Liliana as he had said he would.

Before they could even comprehend what was happening, one of them received a call.

“What? I am fired, why?”

The room stilled as they looked at Liam and Mariana in horror.

Soon, several knocks came and a few officers came with arrest warrants.

Liam did not bother listening to them and carried Mariana out.

She was still sobbing quietly.

He looked at James coldly and he at least had the good sense to lower his head in shame.

Liam took Mariana inside his room and called someone to bring him tea.

James passed him the breakfast set he had brought and hesitated on what to do.
