Darian picked up his phone from the drawer when they got back into the bedroom. He dialled Gaius' number and pressed the phone to his ear."Good morning, Darian." Gaius greeted him.Darian sighed, staring at Lena as she applied the lotion to her skin. He licked his lips and smiled at her when she sent him a wink."I can't make it to the meeting today. Can we reschedule for tomorrow?" He asked Gaius, his eyes still on Lena. She took the towel off her body and stood in front of him, naked. He coughed out, clearing his throat. What was she trying to do to him? He thought as Gaius spoke into the phone, but he didn't hear what he was saying. "Can you please repeat yourself?" "Why not today? You know this is urgent, right? We have to give out the weapons today after which we will deliberate on how to solve the issue at hand. Is there something important that you want to attend to?" Gaius asked."Yes, Gaius. My wife needs my attention and I'd like to be with her today. I will call a meetin
Two weeks later, things had gotten better. Lena's dad was fine and she was back in the house; after the Doctors discovered that his sickness mildly resurfaced, leading to the cardiac arrest he experienced that caused him to pass out. She had stayed with him at the hospital for one week, never for once leaving his side. Darian had been an understanding husband, he visited them every day to check on her and made sure they were doing fine. They were discharged from the hospital after the Doctor assured them that Gavin was fine and could go home. Lisa had been supportive too, she took a break from writing her novels to stay with Lena the whole week. Lena was grateful for the gift of Darian and her best friend in her life, she couldn't ask for more, they were the absolute best.Darian had worked extremely hard the whole time Lena was at the hospital. He finally got information about the invisible man who was responsible for Lena's abduction and the atrocities that had been committed in
A smile tugged her lips as she looked at her man. She sat on the bed, patiently waiting for him to be done with his bathroom business. When he was back in the room, she offered to clean his body with a towel."Do you like to see me naked?" He asked when she draped a towel around his waist. "You find me sexy, don't you?"Lena blushed, leaving the towel on his waist. "You are my husband.""Is that the answer to my question?" He ran his fingers on her skin and pulled her closer. He gazed down at her, his eyes piercing into hers. There was a sudden rush of oxytocin inside of her. This man would be the death of her if she wasn't careful, she thought subconsciously."You are the sexiest man alive, Darian and you are mine." She snapped her fingers, fawning at him. "How has it been?" She squinted her eyes."A year with me, how has it been?" He expatiated."Crazy and amazing but I wouldn't want it any other way. I love to be with you and I hope that we spend more years together." She mouth
Readers' discretion is advised.Please do not read if you find explicit content offensive.Lena compelled Darian to see a movie with her after dinner. He did it to celebrate their anniversary. He played a scrabble game with her, all in the name of celebrating their wedding anniversary. Lena wasn't surprised he was so good at Chess, he beat her hands down, but she won in other games of scrabble and charades. It was fun all night for them—she made sure of that.It was almost midnight and they were back in the bedroom. He dragged her to stand in front of the full-length mirror, standing behind her."Let's spend many more years together, Darian. In happiness and good health." She leaned back in her chest.Darian smiled as he stared into the mirror. He gently arranged a ringlet of her hair, tucking it behind her ear, he bent a little to kiss her neck."Do you know what couples do on the night of their anniversary?" She clamoured, a sheepish grin plastering her face."What do they do?" He r
Lena woke up to no one by her side, she and Darian had slept together the night before, but now he was gone. She noticed that he had been acting strangely since she told him she loved him, it'd been days since they celebrated their anniversary and she said the love words, but Darian had changed towards her. Even if he would not admit to it, she knew that he was drifting away. She loved him, that was the truth and she didn't know what else to do or how else to go about it, she loved him.She got out of bed, dragging her feet around the bedroom. She walked out to check if Darian was in his study, but it was empty. She could have scented his cologne if he was around. Lena sighed, walking back to the bedroom, she sighted Tina curled up on one of the couches in the living room. She ambled to the living room to ask if she had seen Darian."Good morning, ma'am." Tina greeted when she spotted Lena."Tina, how are you?" She gave her a small smile."Very well, ma'am. The boss said I should let
"What are you doing here?" Darian clamoured again, fury marring his facial expression. "I have seen the reason I am here." Thelma beamed with a sly smile. "You look great by the way." She said, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly. That only worsened the anger that was surging through him as he glared at her."You have to leave now." He told her."I just arrived, why would you want me to leave now? I haven't seen you for days, you've not been picking up my calls and—""Jay, leave us," Darian commanded. Jay bowed his head, turning to leave them to talk. As he wandered away from them, he wondered what was happening between them."Darian, I have been calling you for days." She attempted to touch him, but he cringed, and she sneered. "And now you are acting up again, do I disgust you?""Yes, you do! What do you want from me and how did you even know that I'd be here?" He glared at her, his jaw clenching hard. His temples were starting to crease, he was tired of her."Er," Thelma smiled.
Darian lied.He lied to Lena about the reason Thelma was bugging him with calls and texts. He was pleased that she had respected his privacy by not reading his texts, but he was so sad he lied to his wife, and to cover up for this lie, he'd have to lie to her again. He hated that, he wasn't a liar, he was a respectable man who was fearless and could easily look into anyone's eyes to say whatever he wanted to say. But with Lena, he couldn't, he was scared she'd leave him if she found out about him and Thelma.He would have told her what Thelma wanted but he didn't want to hurt her feelings. Telling her would mean telling her about the night he cheated on her too, he couldn't bring himself to do that, at least not now."Will you like to work at the casino again?" He asked Lena as she worked on her computer. She was searching for an online job that could keep her busy while Darian was away from the house.She stopped typing, directing her head to glare at her husband. She was surprised
The members of the Dawson family were gathered around the large table in the almost dark room. It was their monthly meeting and Darian had ordered that they meet up in the secret chambers at Park Avenue to make plans. "We have restocked our warehouse with weapons, we will have something to fall back on whenever there is an attack," Judson said, his eyes dilating the dark room that was illuminated with a very dim light that shone from a tiny bulb. They always had their secret meeting there whenever crucial matters were to be discussed. "How much did we make from selling out guns to other families?" Darian asked the secretary. Adam quickly glanced through the files and looked back at Darian. "Fifty million dollars, boss. We made a lot of money." "Yes, we did. All thanks to Gunther, he works well for us in Dallas." Gaius chirped in, smiling heartily. Daria nodded his head, Gunther was smart, he wouldn't lie about that. He had impressed him since he started working as the boss of the
