Chapter 4 Did you call her a liar

Sinclair's POV

For the past three hours, I've never felt so restless and worried in my life. Not my Grandpa's health, not the death of my ex or my best friend who is in a coma made me feel like this.

If Mr Jonathan gets to find out that his daughter and only heir is missing, I don't want to think about the disaster that will fall upon not just me but my family and that is the last thing I want right now.

Jonathan will go to any length to get revenge and that's not what I want for my family.

When Roseline appeared at the doorstep, I felt a lot of emotions, anger, frustration, longing, and relief.

I restrained myself from giving her a crushing hug.

"You haven't answered my question!" I snapped at her, Standing at the doorstep looking at me with those innocent eyes and I wondered what was going on in her head.

"Would you let me in first at least?" She cocked her eyebrows.

I stepped out of the way and she walked inside, my eyes followed her as she walked up to the dining room.

After closing the door, I walked up to her.

She pulled out papers from her bag. "This is the Divorce agreement, I thought of helping you make your life easier," she tried to walk away from me and I grabbed her arm.

"Roseline," I shut my eyes tightly to tame my growing anger, "What games are you playing?"

"I'm not playing any games, I'm helping you get rid of me, I want to spare you the burden of looking at my ugly face whenever you wake up in the morning, I want you to cheat with the notion that you don't owe loyalty to me, since our vows at the altar doesn't matter to you, let's end this! I'm as tired as you...."

"Roseline, Roseline, Roseline," I tightened my grip on her left arm, "I didn't tell you that I want a Divorce, do you realize that if I don't get my signature on that paper you're married to me forever whether you like it or not,"

"I thought you wanted nothing to do with me? Why are you prolonging this?"

I pulled her along with me and slammed her against the nearest wall caging her between my arms, "I want you to listen to every fucking word I tell you right now, I married you, not the other way round, this marriage is over when I want it to be over. For now, you're not going anywhere, you're stuck with me as I'm stuck with you!" I released my grip on her arm.

"Sinclair, don't try to hold me back, I want my freedom, this life with you is only causing me more pain,"

"Are you seeing someone? All of a sudden you want a Divorce so bad? Are you cheating on me?" I never cheated on her so if she ever cheated on me I won't forgive her.

"Yes, I'm seeing someone and he's decent, better than you," she spat with disgust.

"What's his name?" She looks away.

"What's the motherfuckers goddamn name cause I'm about to murder someone,"

"It's no one, Okay. It's no one, just let me go,"

A smile tugs my lips.

Without warning I throw her over my shoulders and take her to my room.

She kicks the air, hits my shoulders and tries to wriggle her way out of my hold but I don't release her until we are inside our room. Once we are inside the room I let her down and quickly lock the door.

She lurches at me and starts hitting my chest. I let her expel her pent-up anger and when she's out of breath she stops.

Looking at me like a furious animal.

"You're sleeping with me tonight and it's not up for debate,"

"Never, I'm not sleeping with you, not on that bed where you had your mistress last night!" She protested, her eyes filled with disdain.

"Get on the bed, silly, she didn't sleep on the bed, she slept on the couch,"

"Liar!" She retorted.

"Did you just call me a liar?"

"Yes, bloody liar! Why did she take water from the fridge when she came downstairs? Why weren't you wearing any shirts this morning and you expect me to believe you?"

"This is my fucking house! I wear whatever the hell I want to wear, I can even walk around naked. You thought I cheated on you with her?"

"Yes, you did, isn't that what you've been busy doing?" The hurt and pain in her voice made me regret my decision of wanting to spite her father.

"For your information, I didn't sleep with that lady, now get on the bed!"

"I'll only sleep on this bed on one condition, you'll sign the divorce papers,"

I breathed more air into my lungs, my head was starting to throb with a headache.

"Okay, I'll sign it first thing in the morning, but you'll promise me that you'll never tell your Dad that we are Divorced, I will tell you the conditions tomorrow if you really want a Divorce. Right now I can't risk leaving you alone for a second,"

"If we are sleeping together, you're not touching me,"

"I can't deal with that, that's if you don't come crawling all over me in the middle of the night," I see her slightly blush.

At the office, I'm choked with so much work, and then my phone rings.

I look at the caller and it's my housekeeper, my brows flicker.

I locked Roseline inside the room this morning, I don't want her to surprise me like she did yesterday. I planned to talk things out with her when I get home if she'll hear me out, but if she doesn't we will find a way to Divorce in peace.

I slide the call to the green icon, I just hope Roseline hasn't created a scene.

"Sir," My housekeeper cries out, her voice frantic, my heart throws a backflip and I brace myself for whatever is coming.

"Yes," I say quietly.

"Roseline....." she trails off and starts crying again.

My heart starts thundering in my chest and I spring up from my seat.

"Can you tell me what's happening?" I bark impatiently.

"Sir, I went to your room to give her some food and when I opened the door she wasn't inside the room and the window is broken, I've searched everywhere in the house and she's not here,"

Shit!
