Ella's POV..
"Look who we have here, it's the CEOs unloved Wife!"Fiona smirked cynically making me to stiffen on my spot.
For a moment, my eyes shimmered and they were dauntless, my heart which has never felt love nor affection thrumpled hardly against my chest, reminding me that I have worked so hard to perfect my marriage with President Paxton Gates, the heir of an aristocratic family in India. I was well prepared to face my malicious sister, Fiona and wasn't going to let her get to me. It took everything in me not to break down before her. Never!, I won't give her a chance to break me.
"It's the CEOs unloved Wife, she's here again to talk about her passionless and loveless marriage. Anyways, I'm always here to listen to the tales of her unfeeling marriage. Go on, entertain me. Afterall, sister's should hear each other right?" I watched Fiona grinned wickedly.
"But I hope you won't be boring this time" she added, drawing a taut. Her eyes cornered and I could see her look at me from head to toe as if I were some bag of potatoes. I was nothing special.
"Has my sister suddenly gone deaf? Anyways, I know what you are here to talk about" she smirked and pick up the magazine on the center glassy table.
I watched her sit with styles like a popular model would do. No doubt, my sister is more elegant than I am and that's why Paxton wouldn't stop cheating on me with her
I finally found my voice and decided to say the reason I had come to her. "Look here Fiona, I'm not hear to fight with you, rather I am here to make peace. I would do whatever you ask of me but please let go of my husband, do not sleep with him. Please, I beg of you. It is a very shameful thing for us to sleep with the same man. Fiona, for crying out loud he is my husband. Our mother won't be happy in her grave with all these happenings" I pleaded with a hope that she will have a rethink.
She kept quiet for a moment as if she was really having a rethink and then, I decided to press further.
"There are lots of men out there you will definitely find your own husband" I added, close to tears. I even went as far as kneeling before her but Fiona was being who she was.
She stood tall and proud, her head straight and her shoulders squared. "Wouldn't it be more fun if I have your husband and then you go look for another husband?" She asked.
I shook my head in a negative. "Fiona please, I know what you can do but please let go of this one, for the sake of sisterhood".
"Will sisterhood buy me bread or will it give me money? Will sisterhood give me the power and position I want? Will sisterhood make me a Princess...." Fiona smirked dangerously.
"If you have nothing important to say, kindly make use of the exit" she blew hot and cold and walked out on me.
My world crumbled and I felt tears glistening in my eyes. She wasn't gonna let go of my husband, she will keep sleeping with him.
Four years ago, I married her husband, Paxton Gates, the CEO of Pax and Co, a popular investor and also the mayor of Mumbai city in India.
On my wedding day, every women were extremely jealous of me and that made me thinks myself to be the luckiet of them all. I have loved my husband since I was 10 and I had to work on myself for more than twelve years in other to get to his level and steal a glance at him from the crowd.
I had always been a struggling daughter of the earth crust, we are both from two different worlds. How could I end up being a wife to a man like him?.
It was certain if I had been favored by God or if the God of favor is making out a fool of me.
Five years ago, I was a waitress in an exquisite restaurant. Paxton was set up on a blind date by his mother who wouldn't stop pressuring him to get a wife and in order to scare his date away, he pretends to be a waitress boyfriend and as planned, his date left away angrily.
Paxton taught it would be that easy until he woke up the next day only to see himself being tagged as the waitress boyfriend.
The Gate's were the most distinguished family in Mumbai. They were an aristocratic family that have a high reputation. Old Nana Gates is an old fashioned woman and the eldest in the Gates family. The moment she heard about the news, she announced Paxton's wedding with me immediately.
I finally believed that dreams do come true. However, this might turn out to be a bad one for me as Paxton do not love me at all.
He stated clearly to me on our wedding night that I am only a wife to him in paper. He didn't forget to mention how he loathes me. He hated me for existing, he blamed me on trapping him and depriving him of the woman he loved the most. The woman he loved is no other person but Fiona Grey, also my beloved sister.
Nevertheless, I remained calm, patient and penitent. I even meet with my sister on several occasions and pleaded with her not to have anything to do with my husband. I believed in my sister and trusted her so much but ultimately, she was the one who caused my destruction
Even after pleading with my younger sister, Paxton hardly spent his nights at home. I got worried about where he spends his night at but I found no answers and that was why I decided to come plead with Fiona again but unfortunately, my pleas were unheard.

I wiped the tears that were begining to form on her face. I put on a smile and walk out of Fiona's extravagant house to mourn my pains alone in my car.
Beside me on the driver seat was a new sexy lingerie which I had bought earlier.
"I feel ashame for buying the sexy lingerie. Yes, I'm not his type and he just sleep with me one time in a month. That is the homework for him. No passion, his eyes doesn't gleam with love when he makes sex with me. I've never enjoyed what it feels like..but I need the chance to carry a baby no matter what!" I cried out in my car. My hold on the lingerie tightened. It only reminds me of the pressure from his family to produce a heir. It is out of my control and more than what I can handle... I need to catch the chance to carry a baby, no matter what
-------
I drove to our matrimonial home that night and the first place I went to was my room. I had a quick bath and changed into the sexy lingerie. I sprayed myself a decent perfume. I wasn't bad myself but Paxton is just blind. He couldn't see that he has the moon with him.
