“Madam, Sir Chadwick is in the hospital. He got into a car accident.” When Adira heard this news about her husband, a swirling panic went like a wave inside her body. Cold sweat formed on her forehead and her limbs, although they are intact, felt like they were about to give in from the shock she received. The inside of her chest seemed to narrow its size, squeezing her heart which are beating frantically, with her losing her breath with every pound. All her thoughts clouded as she picked up her car keys and dashed out of their house. She turned the engine with trembling hands and got the car out of their garage swiftly one backward and one forward. While driving on the road, she passed car by car, never forgetting to press the horn, showing how urgent she was at this moment. Beep! Beep! Beep! Cars move sideward at the loud warning. Beep! Beep! Beep! The loud sounds made her more agitated, and impatient. She glanced now and then at the clock on the car, and back on the road. As
When Adira left the VIP room, she met Neil who was pale from head to toe. “M-Madam,” he stuttered. “W-When Miss Isa arrived, I told her that you are inside b-but…” It must be that. Adira knew what made Neil this nervous. He might fear seeing her freak out since Neil let another woman enter the room while she was inside. Then, does it mean, Neil knows that there’s something between his boss and that woman named Isa? “Do you know?” Adira asked. “Pardon, Ma’am?” Neil murmured while sweating so much. “I am asking if you know that my husband likes Miss Isa.” Neil’s eyes’ size doubled, as if a family of giraffes could enter inside of those shaking pupils. “M-My boss likes… who?” Neil repeated the question. He was so stunned; he couldn’t breathe for long seconds. As far as he knows, Isa is his boss’ good friend, and they have been close friends ever since high school. And so, when Isa entered the room, Neil worried that Adira would misunderstand the situation. However… “My boss lik
Before Adira got married, she discovered that her husband had a messy love triangle in the past. Chadwick loves Isa, but Isa loves someone else.Adira did not research more about the third person since she and he won’t see each other anyway. And knowing her husband’s woman is enough. However, playing ignorant of the details will be her mistake.“Brother, why are you here?” Isa asked her brother, Geoffrey.The man whom Isa loves so dearly is no other than her stepbrother, Geoffrey Cullen, the bartender who’s working at Adira’s favorite bar.Isa and Geoffrey became step-siblings because their parents remarried. But ever since their parents died, Geoffrey cut ties with his stepsister. The main reason is that he’s aware of Isa’s feelings for him, which he cannot accept.“What are you doing here in the hospital? Are you sick?!” Isa inquired about her stepbrother with a worried face.With downcast eyes, Geoffrey kept his lips pursed. His heart was pounding so hard before, but now, it calmed
Chadwick kept on insisting that he could stay alone in the house without anyone’s help. But as soon as Neil left, he’s having a hard time just pouring the cereal in his bowl. Using his not dominant hand, the left, the box shook within his grip and grains of cereal were poured clumsily inside and outside the bowl.“Damn it,” Chadwick cursed while looking at the mess.He swept the cereals to the side with his left. Next, he got the milk box and tried to open it. However, no matter how strong his left hand is, he still needs the help of the other side to do the task.Adira saw the struggle of her husband. Thus, she approached the poor injured man and offered help.“Let me prepare it for you, honey,” Adira said.Chadwick could not refute as Adira snatched the box from his hand. He looked at her wife’s side profile, striking gorgeously even if she’s not wearing makeup.Her red hair was tied up, revealing her white skin and that sharp collarbones. She’s wearing her glossy, thin and pink slee
“You begged me to unbuckle your belt. Why? Are you imagining something else?”When Adira asked this while she was in front of him and on her knees, Chadwick stood there like an unmovable tree. He wanted to blame her that his mind only went on worst way because she’s acting weird. Yet the words stuck inside his throat, they can’t just go out of his lips.Chadwick gulped hard, as if eating a thousand of pebbles. Without saying anything, he looked at the woman in front and watched her holds the belt with her delicate fingers.“It is because,” Adira’s whisper words carefully slipped from her lips. “It will be hard to remove your belt while standing. I am not going to eat you, so relax.”Eat.That’s right.That is what Chadwick imagined. Her eating him. His what?With widened eyes and reddened cheeks, he looked back at her who’s currently removing his belt. That made his stomach even more painful, he thinks he’ll explode.“Okay. I finished unbuckling your belt ho…”Pooooooooop!Chadwick di
May 13 of Thursday. Surely, Chadwick won’t forget the day that his wife will cook for him for the first time.Without talking that much, the two went to the kitchen together.If only Chadwick isn’t injured, he can cook for himself. He’s been living alone for many years so that’s not a hard task.But for Adira to cook?That rich lady who never tastes hardship in life when it comes to financially?Chadwick heard there are many servants in the Hale’s mansion where Adira lived before.The fridge is almost empty, given that the couple don’t spend too much time inside their house.The two don’t have the time to go to the supermarket right now. So, Adira used the new service everyone is using nowadays.Using an app, she asked someone to buy the fresh ingredients real fast. With just a single click, the ingredients were delivered outside their house after some minutes.Adira brought them into the kitchen. She bought fresh clams which have natural sweets in them. Then there is also pasta, baby
Adira pulled him and locked her lips with his. He sucked his lips gently, not biting, but only sandwiching his upper.As she does, Chadwick remembered the words he heard before his wife pulled him for a kiss.[“You seduced me first.”]That voice penetrated inside his ears again and again. He got goosebumps. He wanted to run recklessly, away from Adira, but as soon as she extended her tongue and pressed it against the seam of his lips, his mind became a mess.It felt like his body was going to melt from pleasure, so extreme he couldn’t express it. The world he had known seems shattered into pieces, and a new one born as he realized it: the woman before him is his wife. And she’s kissing him.Unable to contain himself, Chadwick held her waist with his left hand and pinned her close to his body as he kissed her hard.He bent her a little, giving support to her with his hand on her back and just got lost in the moment. He slowly extended his tongue to meet hers and she accepted his invitat
In the process of recovering from his small injury, the CEO of Wine&Vibe stayed home for more three days. He did not stop working, as his secretary was always asked to gather the documents and paper works which Chadwick had to check and sign.During those three days, Neil accompanied his boss from day to night. Fortunately, Chadwick’s right arm is getting better and tonight, he isn’t wearing his cast anymore. Nonetheless, Neil isn’t happy.Working as Chadwick’s assistant in his house and helping him do little chores have made him so tired; double than when they are in the office or out in the field.‘I remained single for a long time but here I am, taking care of my boss just because of his injury,’ Neil complained while sitting on the couch and staring at his handsome boss, who is sitting on the single sofa.Since morning, they have been working non-stop and only paused for meals or when someone had to go to the comfort room.Neil felt so unfair.Working inside your boss’ house is the
