"Of course, I bumped my feet. Sorry, I made a mistake in saying that I tripped earlier." Amira's eyes were blazing with anger. There were a lot of things she had mapped out that would happen if Aiden helped her administer the bandage.Firstly, administering the bandage himself with both of them in the office alone would make them incredibly and irresistibly close.And she would have tried her chances once again at seducing him, after all, no man had ever not swayed their eyes at her charm. He might be playing hard to get but someone was going to get him either way and that person was supposed to be her."Okay, if you say so." Marina's lips pursed as applied the spirit to the kind before pausing Midway."How did you both get here?" Amira was about to open he mouth to speak when Marina hushed her."No, I wasn't referring to you. I was talking to my husband." Her voice was fierce and laced with jealousy and it was clear but it made a soft smile spread across Aiden's face."What?" Marina
"So if I hadn't come at the time I did, you would have bandaged her leg because you have a degree in anatomy right?" A hoarse tone and a sarcastic eye roll were the mood that Aiden got out of his wife the instant they walked into their bedroom after a long evening."Woah, woah, woah. Blow off some steam, you're boiling." Aiden coaxed as he walked closer to her and engulfed her in a hug from her back."Answer me. And then after that, you would have been perhaps entangled in —" Aiden pressed his hands over her lips immediately, whispering into her ears."Don't finish that statement, it's never going to happen." Marina let out a big sigh as she relaxed under Aiden's touch while he trailed kisses up and down her neck like he would eat her up the next second he got the opportunity."I've missed you. Gosh, you taste like Nirvana." He said nibbling on her neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing lines at her back and trailing it down to her butt."Missed me? You've been with me
"What made you think you could chase my friend out of my house without my consent? What gave the effrontery?" Summer pulled her hair as she barked like a dog out of frustration Marina grabbed her car keys to head to work."Seriously? You're going to start my morning with that? I guess it's a good thing then that I had a pleasant night and a pleasant early morning after all." Marina closed her eyes in ecstasy as her ordeal with Aiden the night before flooded her mind her face with a pleasant and broad smile."What do you mean by that?" Summer stared at her in confusion and Marina shook her head in negativity, as she snapped out of La La Land."It's nothing but I don't want you to forget in a hurry that I was the one that invited Amira in the first place, so I have every right to tell her that perhaps she has overstayed her welcome just a little bit and is entitled to leave. So forgive me if I didn't take your consent before telling them to excuse herself, but I didn't take consent from
"I'll be damned!" She muttered into the speaker as she rolled her eyes."Not today of all days, why is it that you all tend to show up at the wrong time when I'm in the worst state of mind?" She muttered again but Jayden unlike before waited patiently for her to be done muttering before he started talking."Why are you calling me? I'm sure I made it quite clear before that you should lose my number and never make any attempts to contact me." Marina yelled into the speaker unable to control herself as she was about to hit the end call button."Marina, please wait. Don't end the call, at least not yet. I have something to say." It was almost like he knew that she was about to end the call, it was almost like he knew how her mind was working, and that infuriated her all the more."And you should know that by now I don't even want to listen to the sound of you breathing not to talk of you speaking." Jayden just went on with what he had to say as Marina ran her hand through her hair in fru
Now you can not be so sure sweetheart that I'm not inside of the house or inside of your room. Your closet is big enough to fit a man I must say." Marina dropped as her eyes darted to the Closet that was just at the farther end of the room.She tiptoed to it holding the phone to her ear as she grabbed a baton that shouldn't be there while she slowly opened the closet door and peeked in.She peeked in and couldn't find anyone so she opened it wildly enough to stare at it and heaved a sigh of relief."You're not in the closet!" Her tone was defiant and she went ahead to check other closets and then the bathroom and every book and cranny of her room."You're not in my room either!" Her head was doing a hundred miles a minute run and she was looking all the more exhausted because she couldn't place a call across to her husband. Only if she could talk to him, she was sure that she was going to feel way better. His voice was enough to make her feel better and that was all she could ask for
Marina was about to say something else when he hung the phone up. What did he mean by what he said? There was no way Aiden would have stolen anything from him but still, she couldn't help but feel a little betrayed.What if it was true? What if it turned out to be true? What if Aiden has really stolen something of great value from him? Maybe that was the reason why Aiden didn't want to discuss Claw with her. And that was what she feared the most.Marina's mind raced with thoughts and doubts as she stood there, phone still in hand, trying to process what had just happened. He had hung up on her, leaving her with more questions than answers. What did he mean by his accusatory tone? What could Aiden have possibly stolen from him?She couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal, even though she knew Aiden wouldn't do something like that. But what if... what if it was true? What if Aiden had taken something of great value, something that could ruin their relationship forever?The thought s
What?" Marina rolled her eyes as she stared at him with anger-filled eyes, his eyes were itchy and he was twitching his brows wondering how to avert the situation that he had brought upon himself.It wasn't the right time to tell her about Claw but he knew that it was either he told her now or it might affect their relationship that they were just finding its footing. He couldn't risk that."Oh, now you're the one who's going to stand there and act like you have no clue what I'm talking about, right?" Marina's voice was laced with frustration and a hint of resignation. He sighed, taking in a deep breath, his eyes narrowing slightly as he studied Marina's expression.He was already aware that she must have dug around somehow and uncovered a few secrets. There was no way she would have discovered that he had stolen something from Claw otherwise. Aiden's mind raced, wondering how much she knew and how she had managed to uncover the truth.Marina's eyes held a determined glint, and her j
"Here, drink this." Marina offered Aiden a cup of whatever the content was as she sat slowly on the corner of the bed while he stared at the cup curiously. "What's in it?" He questioned as he received the cup from her. He wasn't asking because perhaps, she might have given him something that would be harmful to him, he just asked out of curiosity because he had come to learn the hard way that his dearest wife was capable of a lot of things. And that includes making him shed tears! Motherfucking freaking tears. Something that no amount of situation or life struggles had been able to put him through. In more than 20 years, he hadn't shed a single tear so it was alarming, freaking alarming” Thank you very much” that he could cry in her arms like a baby before. And when she had led him to the room, he had fallen asleep still in her arms. He stared at her for a bit and smiled broadly that she raised her brow in question as to why he was grinning like a freaking teenager in love. Bu
