PRECAP
"And love, Kian, your husband and I are working buddies now...you will have to get used to seeing him together with me!"
Thea was the one who bought the stocks up in Asia, voluntarily and invested it all over there.
Another reason why Kian got viral all over the world in just one night. Thea Stilton ran her father's conglomerate chain of hotels all over the world and being the boss of her own, she could not find the best opportunity to be back in Kian's life if not by this.
"You will work with him only during the working hours, but it is I to whom he would always return...to his wife!"
Tinsley sassed and picked her handbag up and stormed out of the restroom, leaving Thea all alone there..
________________________________________________
"You are not staying the night?"
She implored, expectantly that he would. But then he shook his head in dismissal.
"There's an after-party and it's with all the investors, I need to go!"
He said and wore his shoes back and was about to head out, opening the door but stopped when he heard her.
"You are going back to her?? Aren't you??"
Tinsley asked, out of extreme anger, jealousy and fury. And her husband saw it in her eyes.
She must have thought that he was not keeping his eyes through the entire evening after the press fiasco, but he was.
He saw how her eyes gleamed with fire in them when Thea neared him and started talking about business.
He would always have his eyes for her, no matter what. It was the only fact about their relationship, he had come to acknowledge and that was...he was completely attracted to her, in a very earth-shattering way.
"What do you mean??"
He questioned, not wanting to let her know that he knew what she meant.
"I m talking about Thea Stilton. Your aunt was here and she told me how that Stilton girl is better suited to be your wife than me..."
Tinsley did not intend to hide anything from him this time. She had seen the consequences of it before and so she did not bother hiding the news about Valeria.
Kian was a bit taken aback by listening to the name of Valeria. He could not fathom the fact that she was actually here?
But how could she?? It was something he could not understand. He had not heard or spoken from his aunt since that fateful day of his wedding to his wife.
"She is the one who paid that journalist to humiliate me!"
Tin went on with the accusations. At that point, all she wanted was for him to stay with her rather than going to the party and back to Thea.
So she kept revealing information after information so that he would see how much hard of a day she had and he would stay back and comfort her.
It was at that point that infuriated skin He did not like the fact that Tinsley was trying to blame someone else for her lack of interest in his work and ignorance of what he liked doing.
Before she could say more, he cut her in, stopping her.
"It's not Valeria but you, Tinsley. It's on you for that media incident, that you have no interest or are ignorant to my work."
Tinsley looked at him, astonished that how he was totally disbelieving her words even before trying to understand how she felt and listen to her more.
"Blaming other people never solves your problem. Try to understand that first and apply it."
He remarked and then got ready to go back again. Tinsley could not help but ponder about what he said.
Some of what he said, were indeed true but that was not what she wanted from him right then. All she wanted at the moment was him and his presence.
"So that this does not happen again, try to change yourself and know things. We are not anymore living the lives that we have been living before...holiday is over, wake up!"
And indeed holiday was over, after that day and night, nothing ever remained the same.
Kian had left the responsibility in Madison's hands to get them a mansion in the city hub and the building for their new company office.
With the sales still on a hike, everything happened very quickly. Now living in a huge castle-like mansion, Tinsley felt like she got back to her prison.
More so, she felt so lonely and alone. Ever since that successful night, Kian was never off work.
The new company, just in the starting phase, called for complete dedication to work before it would collapse in the first place.
He went back to his old habits of a workaholic, going to work in the early morning and returning late after midnight.
Tinsley would wait up for him past the clock and when he would return, she would have been in deep sleep.
The morning, she would wake up, he would already have left for work. Their contact even though they lived under the same roof, same bed, had gotten so minimal that it was very disturbing.
Tinsley tried to spend her time by indulging in her hobbies and started to paint again.
It was something she liked and stopped doing when she turned eighteen because her father told her to stop and she had to listen to him no matter what.
So here, she was, waiting outside of a painting shop for her Uber back home. Even with the financial upliftment, they were yet to buy the rich people materials like cars.
Madison only bought one for Kian after buying the mansion. She got busy right after that.
It was Lana who advised Tinsley to start dwelling on her hobbies as both of their lovers were superbly at the moment and could not spend time with them.
Tinsley took that time and indeed it was refreshing to keep herself busy other than staring at the housekeeper, doing away her job from cooking to cleaning.
Suddenly a black Mercedes pulled over, and she looked at the person's face as the glass window rolled down.
It was John Kravinshky. Although they had never many encounters, but when he offered her the lift, she took it without hesitation.
The driver kept her painting materials on the trunk and then got back on his seat and started the engine.
"Why did you not drive to here??"
John questioned and Tinsley replied that she at the moment had no car of her own. To which John reacted indifferently, Kian had enough stocks right now to afford at least ten Audi all by himself.
Tinsley excused herself saying she did not know much about the expense part yet. Things were still new for her.
It was then, she got reminded of the time, she had asked Kian to take them away in for a small vacation because they never had any time for a honeymoon and he replied negatively, saying that he needed to work so that he could buy back all the shares he had landed to his investors.
This time alone, he was not going to commit the same mistake he did last time. He wanted to make a company of only himself, retaining a maximum of the stock to himself alone.
And Tinsley could not help but think maybe that was why he was not overexpressing on unnecessary items, not that she minded.
When she told the same reason to John. It was a black hole that she had told him and the very next day, Kian came rushing to her for revealing a business secret to his business partner.
They fought for that in the afternoon as John came to know what were the motives of Kian and was not ready to sell back the shares to Kian.
And Kian blamed all of it to Tinsley and herself for not being able to keep a secret.
Day by day, their relationship was falling and she could not do anything but paint her pain away.
He spent his days working, she married herself under her paintings. They became two strangers in the bug house who only met sometimes at the dinner table.
She had tried every way to get back his attention and with no Madison to advise her either, she could not work out any successful plans for herself.
But when he announced that he was going to host his first fundraising event, Tinsley took the opportunity to prepare everything by herself and to get him be proud of her.
Everything she did and worked hard for was based on the finest of luxuries and on the day of the event, everyone complimented her.
And her husband was ecstatic. She finally felt valued in his eyes and could not be more happier about her success.
Kian was so proud of her and could not part his eyes away from his wife until he saw her.
