Kalia.

The walk back to the car felt like the longest few minutes I had ever experienced in my life. My limbs were heavy, I was feeling dizzy and everything was spinning around in circles.

As the engine of my car hummed steadily, my knuckles tightened around the steering wheel, my heart pounding in rhythm with the tires rolling over the asphalt. The world outside seemed blurred, muted even, as if reality itself were slipping from my grasp. Every inch of my body felt like it was buzzing with a deep, searing kind of anger, a raw emotion that had been ignited just an hour ago. I had never anticipated that day would unfold like this never imagined I would walk in on my husband, Jake, wrapped in the arms of another woman.

And not just any other woman, but the one woman who wanted to kill me and almost killed me.

The initial disbelief that gripped me had since turned into fury. The thought of his betrayal gnawed at me, each second feeling like another piece of my world was breaking apart.

    JAKE.I watched as Kalia walked back to the house in tears, a part of me wanted to follow her, but I couldn't, she was right to want to leave and I was not going to stop her, but it was not because of what she thought, I was not going to choose Naima over her.My private investigator had just called a few minutes before I walked to join her by the pool. He had told me who was behind the accident, thats what I had come to tell her.But this was my fight with Naima and whoever else was coming after me, I could not drag her into it, especially not when she was carrying my child.Her leaving was for the best for both of us and I needed her to leave angry at me, it was harsh but it was going to work.If Naima found out we were no longer together, she would be off the hook. She would hate me, but she will be safe together with my son.I was not going to be here when she left, I couldn’t. I knew if I stayed there I would never let her leave me, not like that, and telling her my plan would ru

    51.Kalia. This was the first time we were all having dinner together, we never had any meals together, someone was always missing or mad at someone else. But today after we had the doctor, We were all giddy and happy, which is why we were all sharing the table. "I wish we could do this more often" Maria said, we all just nodded, but I Wished we would do too, it felt nice. As soon as everyone was settled in, Maya looked at the both of us smiling and I knew she was going to stir up some trouble. “You know, you have never really told me the story of how you two met. I mean, I have heard bits and pieces, but not the whole thing. And more importantly,” she added, leaning forward with a glint in her eye, “how did you know Kalia was the one?” Jake and I exchanged a glance and he smiled softly, his fingers gently brushing mine under the table. Jake chuckled, leaning back in his chair. “Ah, the famous ‘how we met’ story. Well, I guess it’s about time we told the whole thing.” Maria, h

    Chapter Ten. Jake. I finished with the last item of work on my agenda and turned to my file cabinet, placing the last document on my desk into its appropriate spot.Then I put my elbows on the desk and leaned forward, staring at the newspaper on the shining surface.I had studied the news story again when I had come back into my office.A scathing piece on how the impostor of the Andrew family moved people around like pawns on a chessboard. It was stacked with details about the man, Carl Johnson, I had fired last week for skipping out on an important meeting to go to a child’s sporting event.The press had covered it a week ago, too, since Carl had gone screaming to the papers over discrimination of some kind. In my mind, it wasn’t discrimination to expect an employee to attend mandatory meetings, no matter whether it was the last game of a five year old’s T-ball season or not.Still, it had been another of those juicy bits the media had latched on to to further stack the case again

    11.Lila. I looked at him, his eyes were still on me, his expression blank. It was so hard to read or even get an idea on what he was thinking.My mind was divided, a part of me wanted to tell him the truth about how I ended up in this situation, but another part of me wanted to keep it simple and on the surface level. But I needed him to help me, and maybe telling him everything I had been through might help change his mind. I thought to myself, I looked at him one more time, his eyes still on me, and cleared my throat. "Where do I even begin?" I said, honestly wondering. "Start from the beginning." he said in a more sharp tone, he seemed to be getting irritated, I mean I was wasting his time. "It all started on the eve of my wedding day." i started and for once I saw an expression on his face, confusion written all over it. "You have been married before?" he asked, "I almost got married." I said, suddenly feeling shame take over me, "I slept with someone else and he called o

    Waiting by the window. I hatedI looked at the watch again for the millionth time, nothing. Maybe something was wrong with my phone. I thought to myself as I walked back to the kitchen. "Hey Maria," I said to the housekeeper who was busy washing utensils in the kitchen. "Has Jake called yet?" I asked her hopeful, she stopped what she was doing and looked up at me, I could see the pity in her eyes. She felt sorry for me. "He said he will be late." she finally said, our eyes met, and I tried to hold back the tears welling up. "Oooh," I said awkwardly and walked back to my room. I tried to lie on the bed, still looking at my phone, there was nothing. Jake had called the housekeeper, but he didn't leave me even one message. Maybe I deserved it. I said to myself trying to ignore the urge to break down. I looked at the time again, it was almost ten pm. I put my phone on the night stand and tried to get some sleep. I don't know how long I lay there, unable to do it anymore, I slowly g

    Kalia.My whole body felt numb, my hands sweating profusely, my legs shaking. I had heard about this feeling, but I had never experienced it before. So deeply. I was in shock for what felt like eternity, but in reality I had only stood there for atleast a minute, mouth wide open in shock. I could not believe it, for a moment there I for sure thought I was dreaming.We had not even been broken up one hour and he was back in Naima's arms.I looked at their direction again, one last time. Despite how much it hurt to see them, to see him, I needed this picture glued to my mind, I needed the reminder of who he really was and that I was nothing to him."Come on, let's get out of here." Maya said pulling me, my feet could not move on their own clearly, I was in shock."I can't believe this." i said rubbing the tears off my eyes."I am so sorry Kalia, this is all my fault. If I had known what my brother was up to I would never have forced you to come here." Maya said as we walked back to her

    Prenup signing part 2Jake. I stared at her flushed face, her red lips, her eyes still dark from passion. She wanted me as much as I wanted her, even if she couldn’t admit it yet. Or perhaps shewas holding out until she felt it was most advantageous for her to give in.“That’s fine. But the clause stays in. If you want sex, you get it from your husband.”She swallowed hard, trying to keep her face neutral. “I don’t think I will be wanting any sex in the near future.”I shrugged. “It’s up to you. I don’t have to coerce women into mynbed.”That was the absolute truth. I couldn’t remember the last time a woman had turned me down, if there had ever been a time. I didn’t like it now. I liked it even less that my body seemed to have some sort offixation on a woman who wasn’t fixated on me. It must be the novelty of it. It was unusual for me to have to pursue a woman. They came to me frequently and easily. If I didn’t end up in bed with Lila it would be easy enough to find someone else, s

    Kalia.I had been working for him for a couple of months now as his pr, and still I was not used to it. The fact that the very first thing I felt when Jake’s deep, masculine voice pulled me out of the deep sleep I had been in was a shiver of excitement, and not a pang of annoyance, was disturbing on a lot of levels, all of which I was too tired to analyze in that particular moment.“It’s one in the morning, Jake .” I said, as I blinked against the blinding light radiating from the screen of my smartphone. After four months in working for him, I should know better than to be surprised by a midnight phone call, but somehow every time it happened it caught me unprepared. “It’s nine a.m. in England.” He said, “And we have a crisis on our hands?” I immediately rolled over and brushed myhair out of my face, the cool sheets from the side of the bed that had been unoccupied chilling me slightly.“The sky isn’t falling, if that’s what you mean, but we have protesters lining the streets at

    Kalia.And I had vowed i wouldn’t become like that. I wasn’t letting anyone have control over my life again.Although, obviously Jake had some modicum of control over my life since he was my boss and my child's father, but that was different. “If you expect me to buy new clothes you have to give me time to shop.” I said facing him with a straight face, after all this was his event he was inviting me to, it only made sense. “You can have the afternoon off.” I shook my head, my tight bun staying firmly in place. “Morning and afternoon. I need some sleep too.”“Morning to lunch hour,” he countered.“Deal.”“No black. No beige.” He added“It’s an art gala, most of the women will be in black.” I said defensively “I know, and that’s exactly why I want you to wear something else.”I frowned. “I’m not in the habit of allowing men to dictate what I wear. I can choose for myself.”He stood from his desk, and I was distracted, as I always was when he surprised me like that, by the superb sha

    Jake was from a fairly affluent family, that was general knowledge. It surprised me that he’d had to take out loans to start up his company.When we were married he never talked to me about this type of stuff, or anything business related at all. Which is why I loved our new arrangement, I felt needed and smart. I was not just a pretty girl. “But now you have to play the diplomacy game,” I said.“I would anyway. I develop resort and hotel properties, the public has to have a favorable view of me.”“That’s true.”For the most part, the public did have a favorable view of him. He was charismatic and charming and dated the most eligible women in Hollywood, which put him on the front cover of a lot of magazines andmade him very high profile for a businessman. He was also a slave driving taskmaster, but only his employees knew that. And in fairness, he never expected anything from her that he didn’t expect from himself. In fact, he seemed to expect more from himself.Which was why, even

Business was business and I had no intention of crossing any lines with him. I wasn’t his type anyway. He liked party girls. The shallower, and the shorter the skirt, the better. Of course, I wasn’t entirely certain what my type was as far as practical application went. Judging by my recent string of failed dates I didn’t really have a type.“How many shots?” he asked, lowering the cup.“four,” I answered, trying to bring my mind back into the present and away, far, far away, from his lips.“Good.

    75.Jake.I had never seen Kalia look less than perfect. She always looked beautiful, even when she rushed into the office at two in the morning to handle some sort of media crisis. But in a dark navy blue gown with ruffled sleeves, a demure neckline and a back that dipped so low it ought to be illegal, she was stunning.Her hair was pinned to the side so that her curls cascaded over one shoulder, and didn’t cover any of the skin that was on display in the back of the gown. Her makeup was more dramatic than she usually wore to the office and her legs were bare, and on glorious show, the dress barely skimming her knees. And they were amazing legs.My libido kicked into gear, a reminder that I hadn’t had sex in a very long time. But business had been intense and when I hadn’t been focused on my various building projects I had been handling Maya’s big move into her new, off campus apartment. An apartment she hadn’t wanted, because she couldn’t afford it herself. But there was no way I wa

    JakeI put my hand on the small of her back, on her bare skin, and I felt a small shiver go through her whole body. She was feeling every bit of the attraction I was. Strange, because I had only ever seen her in herbuttoned up professional mode for a while now, now suddenly she was unbuttoned and very, very hot. Although, she had always been hot. I had thought more thanonce about uncoiling her tightly wound hair and watching the dark curls tumble down.She shifted against me, her hip brushing my body intimately. My muscles tensed and desire roared through me, my body hardening at the accidental contact.I drew her closer, letting her feel. Letting her know exactly what she was doing to me. I didn’t hit on employees as a rule, ever. But she tempted me. And that was a new experience. Women appealed to me, and I desired them. But I had never considered them a serious temptation. If itwasn’t the right time, it was easy for me to leave my date standing on the doorstep and go home withou

    KaliaI bit my lip. This side of Jake always confused me . In some ways he seemed more uncomfortable having people know anything good about him.He didn’t seem to mind the negative press that came when he dated one supermodel, then switched to an actress the next night. But he didn’t seem to want to let anyone know about his good behavior. And there was something about that that made me almost like him sometimes, and that made all the other physical things he made me feel intensify.“It’s … okay, events like this are definitely a little bit fake. It’s see and be seen. Most people are flashing their bids all over the place.” I jerked my head toward the glittering celebrities and debutantes gathered around different pieces of art, waving their bids around while they talked.“I don’t play the game,” he said. “It doesn’t appeal to me.”“You have to play the game a little bit, Jake It’s good for business.”“What’s it like for you, doing a job that’s so at odds with who you are?”The questi
