Kalia.

Missed dinner.

During our brief dating time, I had come to realize that Jake's favourite food was spaghetti and meatballs which is what I made for dinner. It was a quick fix meal and did not really require much effort.

I set the table intimately for just the two of us with candles and some soft music.

After everything was all set up, I went back upstairs. I still had an hour and some minutes to get ready.

I was determined to try to get things to work, at least for the two years we were stuck together as husband and wife.

I took a quick shower and blow dried my hair. I had very long hair and Jake liked my hair down, it went all the way down to my waist.

I put on my favourite red dress which was also his favourite, and red was his favourite colour, put on some cologne and I finally went down.

He was still not home, but he had a few more minutes which I took to make sure everything was perfect.

It was already eight, but still there was no sign of Jake anywhere. I took out

    Kalia. Walk of shame. The Uber pulled up to the house, after dropping off Eric, my head was still killing me from the hangover. All kinds of news reporters were waiting by the main gate shouting all kinds of assumptions . I spotted Jake's Car in the driveway as I went in. Look at that, I thought to myself for once, he was the one waiting and not me. I got out of the car, my hair all riled up, barefoot carrying my shoes in my hands. I slowly walked up to the front door, in mood to handle any more noises. My head felt like it was going to explode. I opened the front door and there was Jake, furious I don't think I had ever seen him that angry he looked like he was about to cut my head off. "I knew you were a backstabbing bitch and a liar, but I had no idea you were a fucking hoe too." he said angrily, shouting yelling. "Can you please lower your voice or not speak at all."i whispered walking straight to the kitchen to get a bottle of water. "I will yell as loud as I want you fuck

    The picture. Jake.I walked up and down completely taken aback by the things Kalia had just said. What the hell was going on "Get me paul right away" I said to one of the security men. "You need to calm down Jake, please." "Calm down? Are you kidding me? Were you not here a few minutes ago or did you not hear all the things she is accusing me off?" "Anyone could have said those things Jake, these are things that are out there people can read about in newspapers, it does not mean she knows anything beyond that." "But what if she knows something?" "I think with that mouth of hers, if she knew anything she would have said something already, she is not the type to hold stuff in and if she knows something, we will deal with it." Maria was right, maybe I was just being paranoid after the stuff she pulled. But being in the business I am in, having so many enemies, not knowing who to trust, it was hard to relax, especially after what Kalia did to me. " Yes sir. " Paul said, stepping i

    The confrontation Jake.I opened the door furious, holding my phone up for her to see exactly what I was showing her. She was still in bed, she looked like she had just woken up. "I can't see whatever it is that you want me to see." I immediately tossed her the phone and she catched it, looking at it as I paced around the room. "Can you please stop doing that?" she said looking up from the phone, "You are making me nervous." she added. She immediately tossed the phone back to me without a word. "You slept with him?" I asked furious, getting even more angry at how nonchalant she was acting. "That is none of your business sir." she fired back, trying to get out of bed. "I am so sorry to disappoint you dear, but you are my wife so it's very much my business.""Last I checked, I was your wife only on paper, and If I remember correctly the last time I saw you, you had your dick down a throat that definitely did not belong to me. And I don't remember creating a fuss out of it." she

    The party. Kalia. I was so nervous, I don't really get nervous a lot which is why this was so different and new for me. I had been so confident when I agreed to this party tonight but now I was second guessing everything, from my dress to my shoes, even the earrings I wore. This was the eleventh dress I had tried on this evening but none felt comfortable enough for the occasion. I needed to look spectacular, as much as we were going to clear the air about the controversy, this was very much the first time since the wedding we were going to be spotted in public together. I was in a black maxi dress that went all the easy down to the floor with a thigh slip that went almost up to the crotch. It was a daring dress, and it also was the wrong dress to wear to a club. I changed into a satin slip dress with little to no back at all. This is it. I whispered to myself, looking at my reflection in the mirror. I paired it up with some pink heels and a matching clutch bag. I held my hair up

    The party part two. Kalia. There were cameras everywhere, people shouting our names from every corner of the room as we walked hand in hand towards the entrance. For those few minutes, I felt like my whole life was complete, in the arms of the man I loved. But at the back of my mind I knew this was all a facade, it was not real. He would never forgive me and I still wanted answers, and I still wanted to take his entire family down for what they did to my family. But today, I was going to have fun with my husband. I smiled at the cameras as they took pictures of us, anyone could have bought it, because I was genuinely in love with him. After a few pictures, he walked me to the vip section. "You did great out there." he finally whispered in my ears, handing me a glass of champagne. "You think they bought it?" I asked looking up at him. "Ofcourse, I am the luckiest man in the world, I can assure you that's what the headlines tomorrow will say." "Are we getting corky now?" I sai

    Kaila. A visit to the hospital The ride home was quiet, and I appreciated Paul not trying to make small conversation, it had been a long night. "Hey, can we stop by the memorial?" I asked as we were pulling up to the main gate, I had the sudden urge to go visit my dad. I had not seen him since the day after the wedding. "The hospital, sure." Paul said, turning the car back around."I'm really sorry about this." I tried to apologize for making him drive all the way to the hospital in the wee hours of the night. "It's okay Kalia, I'm happy to help." was all he said with that smile of his. I studied him for a while, just staring at him. I didn't even notice he had realized I was looking at him. "Do you have any family left? I know you told me about your mom." I finally asked. "Not really, my mother was a single mom so after she died it has always been just me." "What about a girlfriend? A wife?" "Too busy, the job takes most of my time and I am devoted to my job, it would not be

    The hospital waiting room. Kalia. I never in a million years expected Jake to show up at the hospital, especially that night, I was certain he was going to spend the night with Naima, but yet, here he was sitting right next to me. It felt different, like we were different, like something had shifted, even though we had a wall between us, but it felt nice too having someone there with me. I looked at him again, he looked to be so deep in thought, I wondered what he was thinking about.After staring at him for a few more seconds, I stopped, my mind carrying me back to the day I found out my mother had died. It was the first real day I could remember of me ever being in a hospital. It was my birthday I was turning six the next day. We always had a tradition with my mom, she would buy me a cake on the eve of my birthday and we will spend the evening just me and her in my room eating the cake and making wishes and visions boards for my new year. But on that particular birthday, she h

    Jake. Unexpected visitor. Seeing her at the hospital so vulnerable, I was used to the strong Kalia who looked like nothing fazed her. But I could not get her face and how hurt and sad and defeated she looked last night. A part of me wished there was something I could do to help her, take some of her pain away. But another part of me, the business side of me, had questions about the secrets she had revealed last night. Her father Mr Kiari never really married, and I always assumed he had just gotten one of his mistresses pregnant, but something about how she talked about her mother felt off. Mr Kiari never lost his wife to an accident, I would have known, one of the things he was known for was his ability to detach. I needed to find out more. "Good morning, you look happy today."Maria said, pouring me a cup of coffee. " That's because I am, " I said cheerfully." But I have a question for you " I said to Maria and she sat down. " What is it Jake?"" It's about Kiari, was he ever

    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

    Kalia. In theory, I liked sexy men, at least from a distance. When said sexy man was both my baby daddy and boss, it made life a bit more complicated. It didn’t really matter, though. 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
