King kept staring at his wristwatch impatiently while he shook his legs in the car.“How long before we reach there?!” He snapped at the driver.“We are almost there, sir,” the man said.“Hurry up! Even a snail is faster than you, damn it,” he hissed and look out of the window.“And don’t drive me to my death too,” he snorted when the man suddenly increased the pace of the car.As soon as the car stopped in front of the art gallery, he did not even wait for the driver to pull properly before he jumped down and then hurried to the building. He moved over to the exhibition hall that was just behind the main gallery, and when he got to the entrance, he breathed out, maintained his composure, and then walked in.The hall was silent as everyone was engrossed by the paintings they were looking at but when some of them noticed him, they bowed and he reciprocated.He looked around for Payton for a while before his eyes settled on the woman who wore a white dress and then moved over to her wi
“You speak so well,” King said to Payton who walked towards him.“You look like you were having a lot of fun,” she rolled her eyes as she stopped beside him, sparing Ava a cold glance.King widened his arm in surprise and parted his lips. “What fun?” He asked.Payton rolled her eyes and folded her arms tightly across her chest while she watched ahead of her.King shook his head and stared at her for a while before he looked away from her.“Shall I just buy all the paintings and get this over with?” he leaned closer and whispered in her ear.“What?” Payton snapped her brows together and turned to look at him.“I can afford all of them.”“Don’t… you even dare to buy a piece of painting,” she frowned.“Why? I am a lover of art and I recognize one when I see it. When will the auction start? I’ll buy everything.”Payton drew her brows together as she stared at the man. He looked so serious that she wondered if he meant it.“Are you crazy?” She asked.“No, why?”“You are not going to try an
“I don’t understand what you are still doing here,” Payton shook her head as she entered her office.The event had ended, and everyone had left already, except her staff who were taking care of the hall they had used.While she had entered her office, King had followed, looking around like he had lost something.Kind did not answer, instead, he chuckled and said, “Your office looks just as I imagined it to be.”The several little paintings on the wall, the flowers in her office. The office, clean, and tidy.“Why have you not left yet?” She asked.King did not answer and stood in front of a painting. It was a withered flower that was drawn there. Even though it was withered, it looked so lonely that he wondered how she had drawn it.“T… this painting,” he twitched his mouth upward.Payton sighed and looked away. She began to arrange her table as she took glances at the man who seemed engrossed in the paintingsEarlier, before her mother-in-law had left, she had met with her father and
They stood in that position before Payton slowly finally pulled away from the man.Her head kept bowing, she pressed her lips together as the wave of embarrassment hit her.“Are you good?” She finally raised her head to look at the man who had nothing but concern on his face and then nodded her head.When her eyes fell on the wet part of his shirt, she pointed her index finger at it and then looked around.She grabbed the box of tissues and then began to clean his shirt in a hurry.“I’m sorry,” she murmured.“What are you doing?” King frowned as she held her hand, stopping her from wiping any further.“I… it is wet. My tears… I.”“Silly,” he collected the tissue from her and dropped her hand.“Will you pull it off? I’ll take care of it,”King pressed his lips together and stared at her keenly for a while before he tilted his head.“Do you want to see my nakedness that much?”“What?!” Payton screamed, flustered, and then pushed the man back.“Why would you request I pull my clothes of
King drove his car inside the compound with a frown on his face and as he pulled the car to the garage, he looked around for things to pick before he heard a knock on his window and he turned to look at the woman.She had a wide smile on her face, giggling like a high schooler before he exhaled and dropped his head on the headrest.He used to love this sight.He loved to come to this woman's house just to see the smile on her face.But… why does it already seem like it would bother him?Maybe he should have gone home and then ignored his wife just like he always had, instead of coming to Sasha’s place.He finally rolled the window down and then turned his head to look at her.“Sasha.”“Are you not coming down?” She asked, reaching her hand to touch the back of his head.“I’m coming,” he moved his head away and then opened the door, which made her move back.Two and half years ago, he had met Sasha when he had gone on a business trip to Bali, and there, he had found her attractive.He
“I will get your favorite drink and then check if there is anything you can have in the kitchen,” she clasped her hands and watched as he entered the bathroom.“Thank you,” he said, entered, and then closed the door.Entering the bathroom, King gave a quick sigh and then walked under the shower.There was no reason he should let Payton ruin his mood.It was his mistake giving attention to her which had unconsciously affected Sasha.He should not lose a good person like Sasha because of his rude, and weird wife.He was going to return to the life he was living before she entered his life, and he would live it as much as he could.Payton is not worth pitying or doing things for.Maybe it was finally time he put her in her place.= = =“Did I say too much?” Payton pressed her lips together as she looked down her window.It was past eight in the night and King was yet to return.Maybe he had chosen to not come home because of the argument they had in her office.
King stood in the bathroom for a while as he kept redialing Payton’s number but it kept directing him to voicemail.Was she declining his call on purpose?When he looked around the bathroom and his eyes fell on the mirror, he raised his brows as he stared at his figure, looking ridiculous with his already unhardened dick hanging down.He hissed, dropped his phone in the hand basin, and then moved under the shower.He stood under the running tap for a while before he got out.When he got out, his phone in his hand, he shook his head as he saw Sasha who was lying on the bed, satisfying herself.“K… king,” she moaned his name, hoping he would return to the bed to her, instead, he grabbed his shirt that was on the hanger and wore it.Without bottoming up, he wore his boxers and then trousers, grabbed his wristwatch and car key on the stand, and then walked to the door.“Where are you going?!” Sasha panted as she removed the vibrator and then hurried out of the bed.He did not answer; inst
Payton rolled in her bed for the umpteenth time, hissing and cussing under her breath.Maybe she should have not swallowed her pride to call the man.She opened her eyes to the darkness of her room and sighed again.It’s been over an hour since she had called the man and had heard the voice of the woman with him.While she had been beating herself fo saying those words to him, he was busy, fucking another woman.“What a fool!” She hissed and sat up.She switched on the lamp beside her bed, picked up her phone, and then looked at the time again.It was past nine and the maids had already retired to their quarters so there was no one she could call on.Because of how shitty she was feeling, she had not taken her dinner.Right now, she is so hungry and would like to eat.It was the food she had before she left home that was still in her stomach.As her stomach growled, protesting in hunger, she got out of the bed and then walked to the door.Before she stepped out, she glanced at the jac
