SWNOVELS Chapter 14
Chapter: 14
Millie, it seemed, had not been sleeping quite so soundly after all, as she opened
her eyes abruptly. She blinked, and a handsome face came into her view.
Her eyes widened in bewilderment, and she exclaimed, “What are you doing?”
Marcus felt a sense of guilt when he withdrew his hand.
“I'm waking you up. Get up. You're sleeping on the sofa,” Marcus ordered.
Millie glanced at the sofa and grimaced. It was spacious, but it was no substitute
for a bed.
She knew that Marcus would not want to sleep next to her and that someone
would have to spend the night on the sofa. She decided to go to sleep before
Marcus so that she would be the one to sleep on the bed. However, she did not
expect that the man would wake her up.
Millie clung to the comforter and snuggled up against the pillow.
“I don’t want to. I'm tired. You sleep on the sofa.”
Marcus narrowed his gaze, a strange sensation tickling his chest. Millie looked
like a child throwing a tantrum as she stubbornly refused to get out of bed.
He immediately adopted an indifferent attitude. He looked at Millie with an
expression of utter disinterest and apathy.
“Do you even know who you're talking to? I can easily make you sleep on the
doorstep, you know?” Marcus pointed out threateningly.
Biting her lower lip, Millie loosened her grip on the comforter and slowly sat up.
She knew she would not win against the man in a direct confrontation.
As she made her way to the sofa with the comforter in hand, the lights flickered
and then went out.
Millie stomped her foot in frustration, cursing Marcus inside her head for being
petty. He did not even wait until she was properly lying down before turning off
the light.
On the large bed, Marcus was scowling deeply as he rolled over to his side. The
smell of the ugly woman's body lingered on the sheets, even though she had
only been there for a short time.
The following day, Millie woke up bright and early and got dressed for the day.
She walked down the stairs and found Rhea seated on the sofa in the living
room.

When Rhea looked up, she caught
sight of Millie. A frown formed on her
face as she pondered the possibility
that Marcus had spent the night next
to the hideous-looking woman. The

Last night, Rhea could not sleep at
all, and the moment daylight arrived,
she made her way here to find out if
something really happened between
the newly married couple. She shook
her head. It was impossible. To sleep
next to such a repulsive creature
would have been beneath Marcus's
dignity. © The content is on

Rhea seethed inside as she thought of Millie’s domineering behaviour last night.
She was definitely going to put the woman in her place today.
