Calix's voice interrupted the stand-off that is happening between Luca, Kaira, and Enzo, asking Luca, "Father, are there any issues around here?" Without waiting for his father's answer, he turned to face his wife and kissed her on the lips. "Sweetheart, what brings you and Enzo around here?" Despite having not anticipated that action, Kaira accepts the kiss with an upbeat attitude, as she always does, telling herself that she had to keep up with Calix as he executed an act for the sake of his dad. "Babe, I'm sorry that Enzo and I got lost around here; we didn't actually realize that this is well beyond the boundaries where we can be. We just wanted to enjoy the scenery on your estate." "What do you mean by that? Of course, you may be wherever your heart desires to be because you are my wife. The whole place is for you to enjoy; we aren't even keeping anythin

Kaira finds it hard to do anything but scowl, furrow her brows, and act irate amidst the barrage of screams and giggles going on all around her. Despite the fact that she has been here before to watch her husband in drag racing practice,she is still unable to avoid being impacted by the many attractive ladies who swarm the racing circuit to see her husband and try to seduce him. On top of that, having to admit that her husband is really visually appealing, particularly when he's sporting his dragster outfit, doesn't help. And because of this, she finds herself more and more upset with the women in this place for their blatant and deliberate disregard for her. Since her husband has been treating her nicely ever since she was brought here for the first time, she is unable to accurately place the blame on Calix. She is unable to avoid feeling jealous of the women surrounding him, despite the fact that he has

Luca summoned Calix and James to report to his office as soon as they arrived at their house, and since Calix knew for certain what his father wanted to discuss with them, he decided not to bring Kaira with him. In this manner, he could figure out what his father's plan of action was with regard to the Lombardis, and James and he could plan against it if that were the case. Luca's displeasure is extremely obvious as soon as they enter the office. "It's about time that both of you came back." "We are here already, so stop the nagging. What do you want to talk about?" was his abrupt response. He does not want to start an argument with his father and ruin what should have been a good day for him with Kaira, but his father is making it hard for him to do just that. They both engaged in an exchange of death glares in

"Hey, you're up early. You have plans of going somewhere?" Kaira was thrown off guard by Calix's husky voice as she was attempting to get herself out of bed. His arms immediately wrapped around her waist when he realized what she was about to do. "Where are you going?" he whispered. She began to stutter for a moment as Calix gently kept her in place on the bed. "I-I am-" He repeated again, with his lips pressing into her neck, "You're what?" And she has to admit, she is enjoying every second of her husband's tender gesture. "Where are you going?" She didn't bother to utter a response and instead engulfed herself in that wonderful feeling that she is not so used to, but that is making all the butterflies in her stomach flutter. Yes, they have been sleeping next to each other a lot more frequently than is needed. B

It shouldn't have happened between them again, but it did. She never slept with the same person, but now she did, and that is all because, in her mind, Calix is and will always be her husband. And his words to her as they both reached their climax have been imbedded in her memory: "This is not just fuck. This is making love." Love is such a big word that entails a strong emotion. She wanted to argue over that, but she didn't have the strength to do so because, in her heart, what they did was really not just a fuck. It was genuinely something more, but she doesn't want to put love in the equation. Love will destroy her. Love will make her fail. And clearly, love will entrap her in the life that she so wanted to get rid of. Loving Calix would force her to accept the damned existence that they both are in, and she doesn't want that. She does not want to forever
