They were on their way back home when Justin's suddenly stopped in front of the Walmart.

He left Fiona alone in the car and entered the store without explaining anything to her， which made her frown. Justin was still stunned by the event that took place at his parents' place. He wanted a breather so he took off to Walmart without telling her. The wrong move, but it was his impulse reaction which he had been doing more than ever lately.

Doing better than nothing, Fiona got out of the car and followed Justin inside the store but took a different direction. She went towards the section of books and started checking them out. She picked up a few of them which she was longing to read for a long time and walked towards the payment counter.

When she came to the counter she saw Justin, carrying dozens of packets of different kinds of chocolates. It comes as a shock for her to know that the CEO of a leading company is obsessed with chocolates.

Well! That's something.

After paying for his chocolates, he was giving his card to the cashier for Fiona's books, but he was soon interrupted by her as she quickly gave her own credit card. "I am paying for it..."

Before he could intervene, she told him coldly "I am capable of paying for my own stuff. You need not worry." leaving him speechless once again.

Well! that went great. The nerve of him to treat her like that. She would be damned if she allowed him to push her around. Fiona walked towards his car happily because she showed him that she didn't need him.

Justin was left out of words once again. First at lunch and nowhere. Well, he was definitely wrong to judge her, but you couldn’t blame him. He was aware of the fact that she had married him for a reason. But like a jerk, he thought it was for his money. As she is working for his father's company, her pay would be good and her dad really admires her so he won't make him marry a woman who is obsessed with his money. He should have thought that before but being brought up in a family with good finance makes you wary of every situation and difficult to trust people around you. You never know who might back-stab you.

Justin knew that he didn't have any right to shout at her. Like a douche, he didn't even show up at their marriage night because he was pissed about the fact that his father blackmailed him to marry Fiona. So instead of spending his night with his beloved wife Fiona, he stayed in his office and engrossed himself in work.

When Justin called her a gold digger behind her back, he had an inkling feeling that she was listening to his conversation with Grace. It was his gut feeling and most of the time his intuitions were right. But to make the matter worse, he said lots of bullshit about her which now he honestly regretted saying it. And when he threw the plate, Grace explained to him that Fiona brought food to his room because she had asked her to and not by her own will. Justin was still not able to forget her scared face when he snarled at her. She was pale and was trying hard to control her tears. And that look on her face made his heart clenched.

He was stunned when he learned from his dad that Fiona had been working from home for the past week. The presentation she was working on was very important for the company. Due to her presentation, they were able to crack a big deal with one of the most promising companies. He himself saw that presentation and it was brilliant. But he didn't know that she was the one who made it. Justin definitely mistook her.

One thing he didn't understand was why the hell did Fiona marry him if not for money?

The car ride back to his apartment was again filled with uncomfortable silence.
