My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liliana wrapped her arms around Jonathan’s neck as he steered the topic to their problems.

“How do you plan to handle it?” He asked her.

The titbits on the internet did not bother him, but he did not like seeing her slandered and accused.

“Guess?” She said playfully.

Jonathan shook his head with a smile hanging on his lips. She was enjoying it.

“What do you have against Rose Aprice?” He asked.

“Ahh, you are no fun,” She scrunched her nose. He resisted the urge to kiss her.

She was scarily well equipped and seemed to be in total control. He was glad they were married. If they had a clash against each other both would incur heavy losses with many collateral damages.

“C’mon. I am getting late,” He coaxed her.

“Remember Lydia’s biological father, during the auction? He is broke, he thinks Rose conned him and owes him 20 billion, he has gotten fat and old while Rose still looks decent for her age at least when she goes out all dressed up,” She pointed out without actually giving a direct answer.

“You are going to let the media and Lester catch them in the act,” He saw where she was going with that, “And with all the ‘be with biological father’ troops she has hyped up, it will blow up in her face.”

“Especially if everyone finds out that she has been the one spreading those rumors,” She finished.

“Have I told you that I am really glad we are not enemies?” He asked as a shudder ran through him.

“Ahh. I don’t mess with people who leave me alone,” She said, offended with the insinuation.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I know. I like this side of you,” He added, “shows you can protect yourself.”

“I can do more than protect myself,” she scoffed, “but don’t give me too much credit because I inherited the Petrova resources. It’s nothing to brag about since I only had to do a little work, not to mention I have been specially trained since I was five.”

Liliana never took her privileges or her training lightly. She had always been very conscious of the fact that without those she would not have been where she was.

She had inherited her down-to-earth personality from her mother, despite having her grandfather’s shrewdness. Jonathan thought that it was a deadly combination. The right amount of innocence and craftiness rolled into one.

Jonathan was enamored with her down-to-earth personality in private and the regal untouchable aura in public.

He hoped his little daughter would grow up to be the same.

Liliana looked at his stunned face and waved her hand in front of his face.

He came back to his senses and hugged her tight which surprised her even more.

“I hope Jo grows up to be exactly like you,” He said in a voice dripping with sincerity and adoration.

“You are so good at flattering me,” She laughed happily.

“You should know that I am not trying to flatter you, Mrs. Smith. I am saying this from the bottom of my heart.” He clarified even though they both knew she was only joking.

“I hope our kids get the best parts of us,” She stopped joking as well.

They hugged each other tightly until they were interrupted by Jonathan’s phone call.

He picked up the call while still holding onto his wife.

“What is it?” He sternly asked his assistant on the phone.

Vincent was unfazed, “There are reporters here asking for a clarification on your relationship with a married woman with kids. I told them it’s your personal life and you have never violated or caused anyone to violate the sacred laws of marriage.”

Liliana laughed, “You are so funny. Good job, Vincent. It’s quite catchy, you can post that statement from Jonathan’s personal social media handle.”

Jonathan was speechless, “Are you having fun at my expense, wife?” He asked her after hanging up.

He had never imagined a day would come when his assistant would hang up on him because he could not control his laughter.

“That was funny,” She insisted, quite unbothered with his sullen face.

Jonathan held her face and squeezed her cheeks in annoyance. That was as far as he dared to go when he was angry or displeased with her.

They joked and teased for a while before Jonathan had to go to the office.
