14. DON'T GO AGAINST MY WORDSDarian got back that night and didn't meet Lena in the room. He hurried out to ask his bodyguards but claimed not to have seen her, then he remembered he had told her to go into hiding if anything came up, but from what he was told, there was no attack in the house.He rushed to the secret room, entered the code, and the door slid open. He got in and saw her lying on the bed. He moved closer to her, sat on the bed, and watched her sleep peacefully. He wanted to stroke her hair, caress her fingers, or do other things to her but he held back.He hoped that she would wake up from sleep, and go back to the bedroom. He wasn't comfortable that she was in the secret room —it was built for a different purpose.He stood up and carried her into the main bedroom, Lena had no idea what was going on with her, she let out a soft yawn when she landed on the bed. She stirred on the bed, opening her eyes to glimpse Darian staring at her. She jumped up and grabbed his arm.
15. TASTE MY SOUPTina resumed work early that morning, but Lena didn't let her cook for Darian. She was mad at her husband but she still wanted to cook for him. She saw how badly he was bleeding the night before and she wanted to be sure she made some soup she believed healed bleeding."Ma'am, this is my job." Tina protested, not letting Lena wear the apron. "I have five meals to prepare today. Just let me do it please." She begged Lena."No, you don't have to worry. I will make sure he eats the soup I cook." Lena tied the apron around her neck. "Tell me, don't you feel it's stressful to prepare five meals every day?" She asked Tina."No, it isn't. I have been doing this for years and besides, the pay is good. I don't have a reason to complain. It helps me pay my college fees too." She smiled."You attend college?" Lena paused, taking some seconds to process Tina's words. If she attended college and was still working as Darian's maid, when did she have the time to herself? She smiled
Lena stood in front of the mirror, glancing to check how fitted the lingerie she bought was."Oh, this is damn sexy!" She squealed, twirling around and peeking through her shoulder to have a view of her butt. She chuckled when she saw how sexy she looked in the outfit. "Getting a whip would even be sexier," she laughed. "No, no, I'm not doing BDSM." She wiggled her head. "I bet he will go crazy if he sees me like this." Veering around again, she laughed and bent over to shake off her ass. She was whining slowly and looking at the mirror when the door suddenly flew open."Jesus!" She screamed, scurrying around the room. She saw Darian and ran to hide behind the curtains.He waltzed into the room with his suitcase in hand. "What's wrong with you?" He asked, his voice echoing through the bedroom."Just dress up and leave the room, you can't see me like this." She clutched the curtains, cussing at herself for choosing to try out the lingeries."Why?" Darian took a step closer to the curta
17. DON’T INTRUDE ON MY PRIVACY Lena woke up to Darian swallowing some pills, she had seen him do that several times but she was yet to ask what the pills were for.She let out a soft yawn to catch his attention, and he looked at her. Hauled back the drawer and made for the closet."Hmm, good morning." She greeted him."Yeah?" He was on his way to the bathroom now, stark naked in front of her. She stared away from him. "Just go in and have your bath, I will talk to you later." She circled her eyes with her palm, trying so hard not to gawk at her husband's naked body.He didn't say anything to her, he walked into the bathroom, sat in the male bathtub, and leaned his head on the wall. He heaved a sigh as he rubbed the lavender soap on his body; he was stressed out, so stressed out from work and family business but he couldn't let anyone take his place. Darian used to feel no one could do his job as perfectly as he did.He remembered Judson's words at the last family meeting; they were
"Hi Lisa, I think I'm getting a divorce," Lena informed her best friend over the phone."What happened this time?" Lisa huffed a sigh, knowing Lena was mad at Darian again."Darian is arrogant, he's a bastard and I can't deal with him anymore. See Lisa, I have tried, I have tried to be good to him but he doesn't deserve my kindness." She rolled her eyes and hissed out loudly. "He's an asshole, a big one!" She screeched."Calm down, okay? What happened this time and how do you want me to punish him? Do you want me to make him the villain in my book or just brutally murder his character? Do you want me to cut off his dick or spit on his face? Just tell me what you want, I can do that to him in my books." She assured Lena.Lena scoffed, "But you do know that can only happen in your books, right?""Yes, but we will make him suffer. Tell me what you want him to go through." She teased."Cutting his dick is brutal, I don't want that. How about hmmmmm," she looked thoughtfully at the portrai
Darian walked into the room, pulled out his clothes, and went into the bathroom to have his evening bath. After he was done, he strode down to the wardrobe to get a few clothes to slip into. But he noticed the bedroom was bigger, he looked at the bed and the pillows were all arranged, he moved over to check Lena's closet and found out all her things were gone. He suspected it, the vanity table was empty and there was nothing on her side of the mirror.He wore a shirt over his head and walked into the living room. Tina was cleaning when he got in."Welcome sir, I didn't know you were back." She greeted him."Where is my wife?" He asked, his eyes bloodshot and his face shimmering with fury."She moved to the guest room, sir," Tina responded sadly. She had tried to placate Lena by telling her to stay back in the bedroom but she refused, she had packed her things out with the help of Tina, muttering cuss words at Darian as she moved."Really?" He scoffed, placing his hands on his hips. He
She could see clothes hung around her wardrobe but she was reluctant to wear one. She didn't want to listen to him, he could not always have his way whenever he wanted it. "We are running late," Darian glanced at his wristwatch. "Whatever," Lena murmured, still rummaging through her closet for a dress. She stopped at one, picked it up, and veered around to look at Darian. "You know what?" She started."What?" Darian retorted, his eyes on the new pistol he just got. He was loading some bullets in it, he loaded three and cracked the gun. Lena flinched at the sound, and shifting back, Darian smiled. "I won't kill you, you know?" He said, "What do you want to talk about?""You commanded Tina and Harrison to bring back my things into this room without my consent. I am still mad about that, and now you're commanding me to go with you to the casino. I am not consenting to it, I don't want to go, Darian. I don't want to do the things you want me to do, I want to do what I want to do!" She
After taking all the time in the world to get ready, Darian and Lena finally arrived at the casino. "Now, we are not matching." She grinned once they were outside. "Wow," her eyes moved around the building; it was large, bigger than Darian's mansion. "A casino is this big?" Her jaw dropped as her eyes kept ogling the skyscraper in front of her."Yeah, different activities are carried out here. What do you expect? Come with me," he put on his dark glasses and extended a hand out to her. She shook off and didn't take his hand."There is no need to put on a show, we don't usually do this." She said, waiting for him to start walking so she could follow behind him.He shrugged his shoulders and walked away from her, Lena trotted behind him, admiring his very tall frame and how his well-tailored suit fitted every one of his muscles. He was a good deal. Looks? Check, Great body? Check but good behaviour was zero. She shook her head as she walked behind him."Hey, wait up!" She stopped him w
