The Goddess Sculpture Is Actually My Husband’s Secret Mistress! - Chapter 81: Chapter 81

I leaned and pecked the scowl on his lips. His shoulders relaxed and he looked at me, displeased.
"That's not a kiss. I want a proper one. Come" Marcus wrapped his arm around me and tried to pull me towards him but I just laughed and shook my head in a no.
"Oh god this is adults only. Let's leave Steve" Jake give me a disgusted look and stood up to leave.
"Amelia please stop" Luke yelled out and we all stared at the contestants' table in surprise.
"What Luke? You are my partner. Not hers. Don't you think it's unfair to me?"
"Just because we are partners during the programs doesn't mean I like you"
"Ooh I need popcorn" I snickered evilly, seeing the love triangle.
"You are so evil. Why are you laughing?" Marcus said.
"Because more drama means more viewers. And more viewers means more money. And if I'm so evil why are you sitting here?"
"Because I love you" Marcus said with a smirk, already knowing that he had won the argument.
"Same to you" I said teasingly to which he pinched my nose.
"Ouchhh"
"That's not how you say it. Say it properly"
"Ow ow ouch okay okay I love you too" Marcus released my nose and pressed his lips to mine. His lips moved tenderly against mine as he tilted my head, deepening the kiss. He bit my bottom lip teasingly, making me groan in pleasure. I kept my hands on his body to stop myself from jumping on to him and underneath his dress shirt I felt his lean body.
I started touching his body, tracing and exploring his abs through his shirt while kissing him. Marcus suddenly gripped my groping hands and leaned back with a smirk on his face.
"What are you doing?"
"You have a nice body" I poked his stomach and drilled my finger into it, earning a laugh from Marcus.
"Gosh I want to take you right now" Marcus groaned, almost aroused, to which I blushed and pulled my hands back.
"There-there's a jewelry store right across the street. Let's go there after breakfast" I cleared my throat and said awkwardly.
"Why? Let's go to our room" Marcus said in a husky voice as he leaned in to bite my earlobe.
"Nope. I want earrings"
It was already afternoon and we walked across the street to the store. It was small but fancy. Jewelry showcases were kept along the walls with golden light brightening the lustre of the jewelry.
I walked along the showcases with earrings that were too expensive for most people to buy and a white gold classic diamond earring with six prongs caught my eyes.
"Marcus buy me that" I said cheekily and pointed to the earrings and Marcus leaned in to look at it properly.
"Why, You are a Billionaire. Can't you buy it yourself?" he asked with raised eyebrows.
I felt my blood boiling at his words. A simple gesture of love wouldn't hurt. Why does he have to be a dick all the time?
Seeing my face contort to anger Marcus panicked and cupped my face in his hands. "Oh god Serapha. I was just joking. I will buy-"
"Stop. I don't need you buying me anything. I will buy it myself"
I turned on my heel and walked to where the staff was. "I need to speak to your manager"
The manager came running, already recognizing us. " I'm the manager here. How can we help you? Do you have any particular jewelry that you want to buy Mrs. Anderson?"
"Oh no. Not just anything in particular. I'm gonna buy the entire store right now" The manager and the staff all looked at me in shock, their mouths hanging wide open.
Marcus stared at me with wide eyes before composing himself to talk to me.
"Serapha I'm sorry I'm so sorry. I was just joking. You don't have to waste your money just because you are angry"
"I want to and it's none of your business"
"Please pack those white gold diamond earrings for me. We're only buying that" Marcus quickly bought the earrings and led me outside.
"Why did you buy it? I was gonna buy it" I complained furiously.
"You were gonna buy everything"
"Yeah to show that I can live without a man in my life. That's girl power" I crossed my arms in front my chest and tried to look as intimidating as possible.
"I'm sure girl power doesn't mean buying an entire shop out of anger"
With that he tugged me closer and crossed the road. He seemed to be on edge whenever we crossed roads. He was different in so many ways and I couldn't figure out the reasons he had for being so.
But perfection is found in accepting your imperfections. I fell in love with the imperfect Marcus and I cherished him for who he was, not what he could be.
Since it was the elimination day there was lot of work to do. Viewer ratings usually sky rocket today. To provide them with the best of the best, we had prepared a winter photo shoot.
Behind Marcus's hotel was a huge grass field with pine trees which were now covered in snow. The trees were lined along the narrow path circling the frozen fountain lying in the middle. Benches coated with ice were kept along the second path which was big enough for a car to drive through. The pine trees around the field were decorated with blue neon bulbs, giving a luminous glow to the darkening sky.
