Chapter 186: Your hubby

"Pfft, same rooms in the same house, damn, that person is all set to blow your cover, Ely," Iris said as she was reading the contract. 

"What?" 

Listening to Iris' words, Reyansh snatched the contract from her hand in a hurry. 

Realizing this, Iris pouted as she whined, "What the fuck are you doing?"

"That bastard!" Reyansh said as his brows frowned on reading the contract. Applying force on the papers he was holding as if he was going to rip that contract apart, and the person who wrote it as well. 

"Tch," Alex clicked his tongue as he took the contract from Reyansh's hand to prevent it from being crumpled. 

Taking the contract, Alex without wasting any time started to read it. After reading the complete contract, Alex looked displeased, the disappointment was advent on his face. 

With a heavy sigh, he started, "I think you know what are the disadvantages of this contract. And I am also aware of the fact that you must get the hospital back to find that person, but just a question, you know that once you start to live with him you won't be able to control your feelings right? The feelings that you have buried in your heart will resurface, this is true, that you can't deny right?"

Eliana did not say a word but instead averted her gaze. 

Alex didn't push her more, for he knew that the contract was signed now, and now what they could only do is watch from afar. He was also aware that they won't be able to stop her from going, thus, any efforts were in vain. 

Throwing the contract on the table with a light force, Alex said, "Fine, do what you want. But listen to one thing Eliana, our eyes will be always on him, if we find him doing something he shouldn't have, I will make sure to rip apart that guy with my own two hands," a smile formed on his face as he spoke the last words. 

"Count me in," Iris said interrupting the silence in the room. 

"I was always in," said Reyansh with a smug smile on his face as he cracked the knuckles of both of his hands one by one, depicting that he was ready to beat the shit out of anyone who tries to lay hands on Eliana. 

Eliana smirked, but suddenly her gaze landed on Ethan who was quietly sitting at the side of the room, enjoying the show. 

As Ethan felt Eliana's gaze on him, he gulped hard. He knew that he will be done if Eliana knows how this all got out. 

Clearing his throat, he got up from the seat, pretending to have not noticed Eliana watching him. 

When he realized that he was not stopped till now, Ethan felt that he had safely made his escape and lowered his guard down, but alas, this was a mistake on his accord because the next moment something happened, that Erhan didn't wish for. 

"Ethan, dear little brother, where are you going? Come back here, boy. Let's talk," Eliana said as she emphasis on the words 'Let's talk'.

"Fuck."

A curse came through Ethan's mouth, he remembered reading an article where it was written that whenever women say 'Let's talk' it was never just a talk.. It was a silent indication that another person is done for. 

"Cough, w-we can talk later you know. Spend time with the three of them for now," Ethan said with a feared voice. 

"Come back here, Ethan. Don't make me repeat myself," Eliana called out for one last time, and this last time was like an order, and by no means Ethan should overlook it. 

Ethan rolled his eyes, 'Fine, now that I am on the edge of the hill, let's jump," he thought as he 'jumped from the hill' by sitting in front of Eliana. 

"Good boy. I am waiting for your explanation for this incident," Eliana said. 

As the last words of Eliana finished, Ethan gulped. 

…..

The next day, 

Song Mansion 

Eliana looked at her big suitcase and sighed. She was nervous, and it would be wrong to say that her imaginations haven't run wild till now. 

It was the first time she was cohabiting with a man. She couldn't think of any more mishaps. The picture of her and Li Wei sleeping on the same bed popped in her mind, suddenly. 

On realizing her own thoughts, Eliana shook her hand vigorously. 

Focus, Girl!

She had all her necessary stuff and clothes to wear, she didn't bother to take anything else. Why? After all, Li Wei, who was her husband for three months, was a super-rich man, as her wife, it will be her duty to spend his money! Hmph! 

She was going to make him regret that he offered her the contract. 

Thinking this, Eliana grabbed the handle of her suitcase and dragged it downstairs. 

Coming down from the stairs, she was Alex, Rey, Iris, and Ethan gathered in the hall. They were sitting with a serious expression on their faces. 

Iris, Rey, and Alex sat silently as if plotting something. 

Eliana pursed her lips. She looked at Ethan who was in turn looking at her with a warning gaze as if telling her to immediately sneak out of the house before something bad happens. 

After yesterday's lecture from Eliana, Ethan was too tired to see any more drama. 

Eliana paused, slowing her step, she walked towards the door without speaking or telling anything. 

"Stop!" Iris called out from behind suddenly. 

Eliana flinched at this but paused. She turned back slowly and faked a smile nervously. 

"What is wrong?" she shuttered. 

"Wait, dear. Let us meet with your hubby," Iris ordered. 

Eliana glanced at them from the corner of her eyes. 

"He is not coming, his secretary will be here to pick me up," she said as Eliana was relived. 

It was a blessing that he isn't here to pick her up or else it would have been a disaster. 

Iris gave a smug laugh at this and said, "Such a scumbag, he sent his secretary to pick his wife instead of coming himself. Jerk."

Alex and Reyansh too followed the suit as they had a mocking smile on their faces. 

"That is none of my concern, then I will take my leave, see you all soon," Eliana said as she bid her farewell and was ready to dash out of this house with the speed of lightning. 

But as she was going to run, Rey spoke up, "Then let's meet his secretary," as he hit his fists into each other. 

Eliana broke into a cold sweat, 'Why they are meeting his secretary, tch!" 

She looked towards the person sitting at the corner of the room, with a glare as if asking him to do something. 

Ethan felt this glare but answered with his eyes, "You are on your own sister. Keep me out of this."

He didn't want to mess with these three people, he was tortured enough by them when they got to know that he knew what was happening between Li Wei and Eliana. He has had enough. With this in mind, he pretended to not see Eliana's pleads.

Seeing his behavior, Eliana gritted her teeth in annoyance and mumbled, 'Brat, just you wait!'

Eliana's face crumpled up as she walked towards the nearest single seater couch and sat down.

TICK 

TOCK

TICK 

TOCK

The only sound in the entire hall was that of the old grandfather's french clock. Everyone out there was sitting in utter silence thinking something. 

After fifteen minutes, the sound of footsteps was heard. 

Eliana instinctively looked back at the entrance. She was Mu Shufen standing there. 

"Tch," Eliana clicked her tongue as she was relieved that Li Wei was not here and before she could call out to Mu Shufen, the voice of Iris was heard, "Oh! Nice to see you here, Mr. Li."

Eliana was dumbfounded at this. 

Mr. Li?

What the-

Wasn't it Mu Shufen! Why the hell are they calling Mu Shufen Mr. Li. Have they lost their minds?

"He is not-" 

Eliana was going to say that Li Wei was not here when she heard a voice from behind, "Of course."

Wait.

This sound. This voice!

Eliana was sure that this voice did not belong to Mu Shufen, and so it had to be-

She turned around to see, her husband in front of Mu Shufen. 

Why is he here?

Eliana mumbled as she locked eyes with Li Wei who was standing at the entrance with an expressionless face. 

His lips curled into a smirk on seeing Eliana's surprised reaction, and thus he proceeded inside. 

"It's obvious for me to here to pick up my wife, from her home, isn't it like that, dear wife. But why do you look so surprised?" Li Wei said as he came to Eliana and slipping an arm in her waist he pulled her closer.

Wifey? Are you f**king serious? 

Eliana thought.
