4:- I WILL WAIT
TWO WEEKS AFTER
JUVIA'S POV
"And today morning also, Gray-sama ignored me. I don't care whether he talks with me or not but at least, he can eat the breakfast and dinner which I make." I cried on my bestfriend's lap.
Meredy patted my back to console me, "Juvia-chan, relax. Calm down, we are still in the park. People are watching us." She whispered in my ears.
I got up and wiped my tears, "But still Meredy-chan, very least, he can think me as a maid who does his household works. I feel guilty, that within his own house, he is living like a guest."
Meredy carefully listened to my sorrow so that she can give some tips for me to overcome this situation.
"Well why don't you tell uncle Silver about this? I'm sure he will take care of it."
I shaked my head in denial,
"No Meredy-chan, when Gray-sama made me sign, the contract of me being his wife for a year, he took promise from me to keep this matter a secret from father and others.
But I broke the promise by telling you this because I will go crazy if I don't share my sorrow with you."
I cried again drawing the attention of the joggers.
Meredy hugged me and whispered in my ears, "Please Juvia-chan, control yourself. Everything will be already. I really feel bad for you,dear. Man, your husband is such a jerk."
I pouted after hearing her remark, "Meredy-chan, I won't allow you to call my Gray-sama, a jerk."
Meredy chuckled and patted my shoulders, "Well wifey is over-protective of her hubby. Fine, I won't insult your hubby. But I won't apologize for this. Because he made my bestfriend cry." She smiled and hugged me.
I hugged her back and then wiped she wiped my tears, "Okay Meredy-chan, I got to go. I will be starting a part-time job in a near Chinese restaurant which is nearby our college."
Meredy looked worried and asked me, "Juvia-chan, already your house is far from college and if you start a part-time now, won't it make you reach home quite late."
I got up and fixed my dress,
"Yeah but it's much better than being alone in that big house without a companion to spend sometime."
I gave a small sad smile and left her.
GRAY'S POV
It's been two weeks since I got married to that blunette and also made her to sign the contract of being my wife for a year.
I disclosed the truth to her that I only married her for becoming the CEO of this company.
I can still remember the look of despair on her face when she read the contract. That look told me millions of things.
I feel bad for hurting that innocent girl and breaking her heart.
I took promise from her to keep this a secret between us. Even though, she is young but she is quite matured for her age. She understood my situation and agreed to help me.
But still to keep safe distance from her and to avoid any unwanted disappointment in future.
I totally avoid any form of interaction and commitment with her. I don't even eat anything which she cooks.
I eat my breakfast in office and have dinner in a nearby restaurant before going home. Basically, two strangers crashed under a single roof.
"Hey Gray, the manager of Fin Corps wants your appointment to make new business deal. So when are you free?" Lyon asked me.
I thought for a second, "Fine, tomorrow at 7pm keep my appointment."
Lyon immediately called to inform the manager. Ever since that girl entered my life, she has occupied my mind and space very much.
Then suddenly Lyon snapped me out of my thoughts, "Gray, it's about time. Come let's leave. Say hi to Juvia-chan on my behalf." Lyon smiled and left me.
"Juvia-chan" I rolled my eyes and glared at the glass door from which he went out.
After eating the dinner at the restaurant which was nearby our company, I went home.
As usual I reached at 9pm, when I turned the door knob it was locked.
I tried once again to confirm whether it was locked or unlocked.
"It's strange. Where did she go at this hour?" I wondered and opened the door, luckily I had the spare key with me.
I went to my room to get freshen up. Yes, I and she live in separate rooms. My room is in upstairs while her room is in downstairs near the kitchen.
After half an hour, I came out of shower and went down to get water from the fridge. I could see she didn't come still.
I went upstairs to fetch my mobile to call her and ask where she was.
I dialled her number but she didn't pick up the call. "Why can't you just pick up the call?"
I thought to myself as I was getting tensed what if something happens to her then, I will he blamed for it.
I tried calling her many times but she didn't even once pick up the call.
Then I called her friend, yeah luckily, I saved her on my dad's insistence.
"Hello is it, Meredy? I'm Gray Fullbuster."
"Hi Sir, what a surprise. What made you call me? Is Juvia-chan alright?" She asked me.
I was shocked, " What do you mean by whether she is alright? Did something happen to her today in college?"
"No sir, she was just feeling under the weather, that's all. What happened?" She asked in worried tone.
"Well she didn't come home still. Do you know where she might have gone?" Man, I was getting tensed.
"Sir, she was telling that from today she will be starting a part-time job at a Chinese restaurant.
I did advise her not to go but she didn't listen. Let me call and check her out." Meredy assured me and cut the call.
"Geez, this girl. What does she think of herself? Can't she inform me before hand instead making me worry about her." As I was roaming around the living room.
Suddenly the front doors opened to reveal my contractual wife.
"Oh Gray-sama, welcome back." She greeted me with a smile.
I was fuming with rage, "Locksar, where the hell did you go? Can't you inform me before hand?"
I yelled at her and closed the gap between us.
She quivered in fear as I towered over her short frame. She spoke,
"I went to my new job as I wanted to be independent. I don't want to use your credit card for my expenses.
Moreover, Gray-sama doesn't talk to me so I feel quite lonely in this big house. I hate silent atmosphere.
That's why, I decided to do this job. I can't understand why are you bothered by it if you don't care about me." She began to cry.
The words she spoke pierced my heart, I don't know why its hurting me this much. Is it because she is insulting me?
I remained stoic, "I care about you because you are my responsibility for another one year. Geez, go wherever you want but inform me before hand."
She nodded her head and went to her room crying. "Dad, it's all because of you this girl is heartbroken.
Stupid, you made us feel miserable and you happily went on a business trip to London. Ahh!!!" I mentally scolded my dad.

Like that this continued for 3 months, she continued her job and came home quite late. Sometimes, it would be mid-night when she reaches home.
This girl has stole my sleep as well. I can't sleep peacefully until she reaches home safely. If something happens to her, I'm sure my dad will kill me.
But I can't stop her from being independent. It's her choice who am I to stop her.
I'm just her husband for a year until the company becomes mine.
Currently, I'm on my way to finish a business deal with Blue Pegasus Corp.
The CEO of that company Mr.Bob has arranged a private meeting in one of the restaurant.
"Sir, your destination has arrived." My driver reminded me as I was busy completing the PowerPoint presentation.
"Thank you. I will be back in an hour." I got down and went inside the Chinese restaurant.
Soon I saw Mr.Bob seated near a window as he waves his hand to indicate his presence.
"Good evening, Mr.Bob. Hope I'm not late." I smiled and greeted him formally.
"No you are on time. Please be seated,Gray. I heard your dad has gone a business trip and still not arrived. So, I arranged this meeting with you." Mr.Bob was telling his reason.
I fake smiled, "Yeah, dad told he will be gone for a month but looks like it's taking more time to finish the work with that foreign collaboration."
Then the meeting finished as expected after an hour and the deal was success.
So from next week, the construction work of housing projects will begin.
Our company mainly deals with the construction work and sometimes, we collaborate with other companies to finish a big deal within a minimum timeframe like this one.
Mr.Bob ordered the dinner for us. When our dinner was served, I was surprised.
"Sir, please enjoy your meal." It was Juvia.
So this is the place where she is being working for these three months.
I could see the surprise in her blue orbs but quickly regained her conscious.
She didn't try to get familiarize with me. I like this aspect of hers when things comes to work frontier, one as to maintain the formal decorum. She left us.
After finishing the dinner, Mr.Bob paid the dinner even though I insisted not to.
Then something caught my attention, one of the drunk costumer was hitting on Juvia.
"I heard from one of my colleagues that this place restaurant also provides services for male costumers. That's why that guy is hitting on that girl.
Mostly ladies over 28 years work here. I wonder how this young girl got into this job." Mr.Bob sighed and lead us out.
I turned back and looked at her. I could see the discomfort as she violently snatched her wrist out of his grip.
She informed to the owner but that man doesn't respond to her.
In fact, he is scolding her for not complying to the costumers wish. She simply stood their crying and went towards the restroom.
JUVIA'S POV
I'm not that kind of girl who uses her body to satisfy a random person for the sake of money.
I should have investigated about this place before joining here. It's the first time something like this has happened in these 3 months.
I went to complain to the owner, "Sir, that costumer is crossing his limits. His touches are inappropriate." I began to cry.
The other costumers and staffs were looking at me weirdly. I turned around towards the table Gray-sama was seated but he wasn't there. I guess, he must have left the place.
The owner in turn scolded me, "This is your job, you should satisfy the costumers desires. Didn't you know what kind of restaurant this is? I really wondered how a little girl like you was ready to do this job. Now I know, you were not even aware of this. Enough talking go and satisfy your costumers."
I could see that disgusting man was smirking at me. I excused myself and went to the restroom.
Even the lady staffs, who work here didn't say a single word about this.
As I went to the restroom to freshen and leave this job once and for all. Then I went to the changing room to change back to my original dress.
Suddenly the doors opened to reveal that drunk man who had a lustful glaze in his half lidded eyes. He locked the doors behind him.
"Oh sweetie, you look beautiful. Why don't you just spend some time with me?" He smirked and made way towards me.
I ran away from the locker to the opposite side but he stopped me by catching my shoulders and pinning me to the wall.
That man smelt really bad due to the alcohol. I tried to escape from his capture but he was so strong that I was not able to push him away.
He got hold of my chin and looked up and down, "Hey Sweetie, you look so delicious. Just an hour is enough. I have talked to the owner and he was okay with it."
I began to cry, "No stop it, Sir. I'm not what you are thinking. Please leave me alone. I beg you."
He grinned devilishly, "Sweetie, even while crying you look so ravishing. Just let me do my work. I assure you it will be quicky."
He leaned forward to capture my lips. Just then I heard someone breaking the door, I took this opportunity to escape from his cage. I soon, went near the door and unlocked it.
It opened to reveal Gray-sama. I went behind his back to protect myself from that dangerous man.
That man came towards us, "Mister, move out of the way. She is mine tonight. Go for another lady. Move aside." He extended his hands to push Gray-sama.
But Gray-sama caught hold of his wrist and twisted. That man winced in pain, "Hey idiot, let go of my wrist. Wow, wow...leave man. It's paining." He pushed Gray's hands away.
Then Gray-sama punched him on his face, "I will kill you and anyone else who lays their dirty finger on my wife. Consider yourself lucky, I'm leaving you alive. Come Juvia, let's go home."
Gray-sama put his arms around my shoulders and led me to the outside after scolding the hell out of that owner.
Now we are sitting in Gray-sama's car and heading back home. Throughout the journey way back to home, we remained silent and don't know what to talk.
I'm grateful that Gray-sama came and saved me on time or else anything might have happened to me.
After reaching home, Gray-sama led me inside the house by pulling my wrist. He made me sit on the couch and went inside the kitchen.
After sometime he came out holding two cups of green tea. He gave me one and sat next to me.
For the first time, since we got married, this was the first time he initiated a contact by putting his arm around me before and now, sitting close to me.
I wonder what he is going to say to me.
"Juvia, relax. Don't fret nothing has happened so don't get scared." He smiled at me.
I bowed down my head, "I'm sorry, Gray-sama for bothering you. I never knew something dark was going on that restaurant.
If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten myself into such troubles. Thank you for saving me. I owe you one."
Gray-sama lifted my chin and made me look at his eyes, "Listen you don't have to thank me. I did my job of helping a person in need.
Look you don't have to go for any job from now, stay at home. You are under my care. It's my duty to provide you with all the commodities of life."
With his words, I came to know he just helped me as how he will help a stranger in distress.
I brushed his hands from my chin, "You can provide everything I need to led a life but what I'm asking for is love from my husband not some fleeting things."
Gray-sama stood up, "Look Juvia, I have already told you about my past and my only goal for future.
How are you expecting me to show love to you if my heart only beats the memories of my Stella?" Gray-sama replied back.
I got up and lifted my head to meet his eyes, "Gray-sama, she is no more right. Very least, you can try to show some. I'm not telling you to abruptly forget about her but you can move on, right. I'm willing to wait if you are trying to change. Think about it."
I took my purse and college bag and went to my room leaving him alone in the living room.
GRAY'S POV
After hearing her words, I don't know what to say to her. She left me without even drinking the tea.
I sat down on the couch and began to think what she spoke to me few minutes back.
"Try to move and I will wait for you." Her words were ringing in my head.
I can't blame her. This is the age where one falls in love and enjoy every moment of their life with their better half.
Even I was in this situation five years ago but things took a huge turn.
Three years back, I went on a trekking trip with my friends leaving behind my lovely girlfriend, Stella.
After coming back from 2 weeks trip, I never expected to hear that devastating news.
My girlfriend died due to unknown circumstances which none of my classmates knew about.
She was the one who changed my cold, harsh behavior to little sociable attitude. Her charms was the things which made me fell for her. She was so caring and loving who took care of me like a mother.
So her passing away came as a huge blow to my mental and physical health.
I can say till now there is huge void in my heart which is caused by Stella.
I don't think anyone can fill that space not even Juvia can fill this.
