More Than A Business Deal Chapter 25
My home studio will be completed today and I couldn’t wait to see it. I wanted it to be a surprise so I had avoided looking at it or even supervised it. I only gave the interior decorator a hint of what I wanted and told her to go all out as her creativity would let her. Apparently, my husband had told her not to worry about the amount and to make sure she gets only the very best materials for me since she was not only going to be designing the room but was also going to be getting my painting materials too. I didn’t have any particular drawing items that I had an attachment to so I didn’t mind her getting supplies that she felt would fit the aesthetic of the room. I was excited now that it was finally done, much more than I did at the beginning of the whole thing. It was almost evening so the workers were wrapping up with whatever they had left. I sat as still as I could in the living room and Lily’s blabbing was not helping at all. She had been to the studio a million times and w

I was unable to sleep a wink last night. I mean who would be able to when their husband was fucking a girl who wouldn’t even try to keep her voice down as she screamed in pleasure. The pleasure that my husband was giving her in my home. As I lay awake in my bed all night, a thousand and one emotions filtered through my mind as I listened to them. I was pissed, jealous, angry, sad, frustrated all in one night and now I was more mentally drained than I was physically. My pride was the only thing that kept me from flinging my covers back and marching towards his room to drag that slut by her hair and throw her out of my house, stark naked in the middle of the night but the thought that I may also be humiliated by my husband in front of her held me back. I knew she was well aware that he was married since the news of our marriage was basically plastered all over the internet and yet there she was shamelessly yelling harder, faster, oh you're so big throughout the night. I am sure e

We had not spoken since the dining encounter and though it was a setback in my plans, I would have it no other way. I didn’t like the emotions that were running through my mind, they felt foreign as though they belonged to another. I kept asking myself if it was worth it and why I kept acting this way especially if I told myself a thousand times that I didn’t have any feelings for him. I was hurt and angry and had no reason behind my behaviour. Do I just give up and live my life in the shadows like he wanted me to? My phone rang loudly and startled me out of my thoughts. I looked at it and saw it was Danielle calling. I almost didn’t want to pick up but I was tired of staying indoors. She had called me several times to invite me for lunch over at her place with the rest wife’s but I had denied it every time giving her silly excuses and I was sure she knew the reason I wasn’t accepting her invitation. I remember asking her why Samatha was attending the club if she wasn’t married.

I have been standing in the mirror for the past twenty minutes trying to decide if I had gone a little bit too extra with my clothes. Danielle said I needed to make a statement across and what better way can I do that other than to start with my dress? It was a simple off-shoulder black gown but you could tell it was hella expensive and the red bottoms to match made me look even more high-end. To make sure I appeared even more mature and classy, I was letting my hair down and in waves. “Green is going to be the main colour of the lunch today” Lily sang from behind me and I chuckled in amusement at the terms she was using. “I don’t know about green but there won’t be any opportunity for me to be messed with” “Damn right there won’t” Lily agreed. To others, doing this may make me look a little bit childish but that was the least of my concern. I gave one final twirl to Lily who was clapping wildly and bouncing on my bed that would be crying for mercy if it could talk. “You l

“I will be going on a business trip to attend a seminar and an important meeting. I will be gone for 9 days tops” Atticus spoke from beside me without lifting his eyes from his phone while eating with the other unoccupied hand. “When?” I asked him “Now,” He replied. I wanted to ask him why he was telling me if he was leaving in a few minutes. He should have just kept it to himself. It was on the edge of my tongue yet I held it in the same way I had wanted to ask him if he was at Samantha’s place all the nights when he failed to come home. Samantha had totally obliterated me with the mockery she did two days ago and there was no hiding the first-hand embarrassment I felt throughout the lunch at Danielle’s place especially since I had to sit opposite her and see her smug face glow with victory at the fact that she had rendered me useless with just a sentence that had way more effect on me than it should. I don’t know if he waited for my reply that he wasn’t going to get or he d

So I may or may not have spent the entire nine days my husband was away to map out a plan on how to get him to pay more attention to me and me alone and guess what amazing plan I came up with? Nothing. It wasn’t that I didn’t come up with anything, in fact, it was quite the opposite. I had come up with a billion plans that I was starting to look like a federal agent about to carry out an important problem so why did I have nothing at the end? It was because I liked none of the plans. With every plan I had come up with, the other part of me had managed to find something wrong with it. Either it was not well detailed enough, felt like a route to total failure or I felt it made me look pathetic and like an attention whore So now I lay on my bed, my mind reeling from the aftermath of being stressed to its limit without a plan and my husband was due home in five hours. I scanned my head through the various plans that I had previously made to see if there was one approach I could use b

Yesterday when I was scrolling through my social media account, I saw this video of a woman who gave her husband a very beautiful portrait of himself so he could hang it in his office or wherever. The portrait was so big and the husband had been an emotional wreck when he saw it. He loved it and said he was going to place it in a spot where everyone would see it. I don’t blame him at all. If I had been given such a portrait, I would hang it on the highest rooftop so that the world could see. And that was what gave me the idea for my current task. I know Atticus wasn’t the same as the man I saw on my social media but I was willing to give it a try. The worse he would do is to reject it, not kill me so I was determined to give it a go. That was the sole reason why I had been locked in my studio since morning without a single meal, drawing. I didn’t have any photos to use so I was just drawing from my head. Well not completely from my head, I once saw a photo of Atticus online, he w

I kept stealing glances his way and I am sure my husband had noticed since we had locked eyes a few times now. He arrived back from work and we were having dinner which meant he had yet to go into his office, which also translates to my gift has yet to be given to him. I should have done it the moment he walked through the front door, but my head had thrown a bad thought my way and I was quick to chicken out at the last minute. I told myself I would wait for him to freshen up and later on I told myself after dinner. From the corner of my eyes, I saw him push his plate away which meant he was retiring to his room for the night. I had to summon my courage and do this now else I would not have another opportunity to do it. If I wait till tomorrow, it would take out the fun in it for me. I had to get it over with. He started getting up so I cleared my throat to get his attention. “I have something to give you?” I bit my lips hard as nervousness took over me. I watched his eyebrow hi
