"Say that again," he smirks, his hand gently grasping my jaw. "My dear husband," I manage to say, my voice barely a whisper as I struggle to meet his intense gaze. "Oh, I love it when you call me that," he murmurs, before claiming my parted lips in a searing kiss. His hands slide down my thighs, spreading my legs wider, and in one swift motion, he plunges his length inside me. *** Alice's world crumbles when she discovers her husband's affair with her step-sister. The betrayal cuts deeper when he leaves her for his mistress. Desperate to escape the pain, Alice gets involved in a reckless one-night stand with a mysterious stranger, an event that could lead to something even more dangerous.
View MoreXavierAs I stepped out of the psychiatric rehab facility, the cool evening air enveloped me, a stark contrast to the sterile atmosphere I had just left behind. I slipped my hand into my pocket and retrieved a cigarette, the familiar ritual a comforting escape. I lit the cigarette with a flick of my lighter and took a long drag, feeling the nicotine coursing through my veins.My eyes drifted upward toward the sky as my mind began to wander. I knew I shouldn't be smoking, not with my health condition, but I couldn't bring myself to care. What was the point anyway? I was going to die soon, no matter what.As I stood there, lost in thought, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me. "Sir, please wait!" a voice called out. I turned to see a woman running toward me, her face etched with worry and fear. She was panting heavily, her chest heaving with each breath.I watched her approach, my curiosity piqued. As she drew closer, I asked, "What's the problem?" My voice was calm, but my mind was
AliceI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. The room was quiet, except for the soft hum of the air conditioner. I reached for my phone on the bedside table and dialed Wendy's number, but she didn't pick up.I sighed and tried Lexi's number instead. He answered on the first ring."Hey, where are you?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.There was a pause on the other end, and then Lexi whispered back, "What's going on? Why are you whispering, sis?""Never mind," I replied, rolling my eyes. "Has Xavier gone to work yet?""Yeah, he left some minutes ago," he replied.I sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "I just woke up."Lexi's tone turned curious. "Why does it seem like you're trying to hide from Xavier?"I sighed, feeling a pang of frustration."I'm not hiding from Xavier, actually. I just wanted to stay off him for some days."Lexi's voice turned skeptical. "Why?"I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "I'm mad at him."Lexi's tone turned firm. "I
XavierI took a deep breath, my eyes locked on Lily's. "I want to apologize for treating you poorly back then," I said, my voice laced with remorse. "I gave you a cigarette and then rejected you because of it. I'm truly sorry about that."Lily's face scrunched up, and she shook her head. "No, I think I deserved it," she whispered, her voice cracking.I shook my head firmly. "No, you didn't. If I hadn't done that to you, you wouldn't have been triggered to seek revenge. I'm sorry, once again." My eyes pleaded for forgiveness. "I just came to unburden myself, to pour out my feelings. I acted like shit back then, and I'm deeply sorry."Lily's gaze met mine, her eyes brimming with tears. She searched my face, as if seeking the truth behind my words."Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "Why did you reject me when you gave me the cigarette? Why did you do that? It still confuses me to this day." Her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice cracked with emotion.I felt a pang
XavierAs I lay beside Alice, I didn't want to wake her up. She needed her rest, especially with the baby on the way. I cared about her, and the thought of causing her or the baby any discomfort was unbearable.I carefully got out of bed, trying not to disturb her. I headed to the shower, letting the warm water wash away the fatigue. After dressing, I grabbed my wallet and phone and headed downstairs.The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as I entered the dining room. Wendy and Lexi were laughing and chatting over breakfast. I walked over to the table, poured myself a cup of coffee, and took a sip.Wendy looked up at me, concern etched on her face. "You came home late yesterday?""Yeah," I nodded, taking another sip of my coffee."Why, though?" she asked."You don't need to know," I replied, noticing the coldness in my tone which I didn't quite care about.Wendy's eyes sparkled with curiosity, but she didn't press the issue. Lexi, on the other hand, looked like he was burs
AliceAs the night wore on, I paced around my room, tears brimming in my eyes. The doctor's words echoed in my mind: "Mrs. Alice Brown, I'm afraid your baby's growth is restricted. The ultrasound shows the baby's not developing at a normal rate. We need to run more tests to determine the cause and the best course of action."Before I knew it, I burst into tears again. Wendy entered my room, concern etched on her face, and tried to comfort me. "Everything will be fine, Alice," she said. "Please stop crying already."I glared at her, frustration and fear simmering inside me. "You've said that for the umpteenth time already, and I don't think everything will be fine. What's going to happen to my baby?"She sighed deeply and hugged me, calming me down. "When my brother comes, you need to tell him everything, okay? I'm certain you two will be able to talk it out."I swallowed hard and nodded. "I will. I just need to think about it first. I'm actually scared of telling him just yet.""Okay,
Xavier"Stop the car!" I screamed at the driver, my heart racing with fear. "Fucking stop!"The driver slammed on the brakes, and I leapt out of the car, sprinting towards Phoebe. She was still standing in the middle of the road, her eyes fixed on some point in front of her, as if waiting for the inevitable.I ran as fast as I could, my legs pumping furiously as I desperately tried to reach her before the truck did. Memories of our past flooded my mind, memories of our laughter, our tears, our kisses.We were lying on the bed, our lips locked in a passionate kiss. I laughed and asked her, "So, I guess you're trying to do the battle of kisses, huh?"She laughed and said, "Yeah, come get it!" Her lips pouted, inviting me to kiss her again. And I did.As I ran, tears streamed down my face, blurring my vision. I didn't even realize I was crying. All I knew was that I had to save Phoebe.Just as the truck was about to hit her, I launched myself at her, wrapping my arms around her waist and
XavierI ignored Phoebe's attempt to divert her gaze, and she gave a small smile. "I guess I'll just drink without clinking glasses even if it hurts."Phoebe took a sip from her glass, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Hmm! Tastes strong and so nice.My irritation grew with each passing moment, and I couldn't help but feel like she was toying with me."What the hell are you doing here?" I asked again, my voice low and even.Phoebe smiled, seemingly oblivious to the undercurrent of anger in my tone. "You haven't answered my question yet," she said, her voice dripping with nonchalance. "What are you doing, drinking like this? You know it's not good for your health."My frown deepened, my eyes flashing with annoyance. "That's none of your business," I growled. "What I want to know is, what the hell are you doing here? And how did you find out that I was here?"Phoebe's smile never wavered. "Oh, it was easy," she said, her voice light and airy. "I follow your secretary's postings on Ins
Xavier(Flashback to last night)I studied Alice's face, trying to read her expression. She seemed distant, her eyes clouded with thoughts. I wondered what Wendy had told her."Alice?" I pressed, my voice gentle. "What's going on? You can tell me."Alice's gaze dropped, her shoulders sagging slightly. I sensed a hesitation in her, a reluctance to share something."Is everything okay with Wendy?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.Alice's eyes flickered up to mine, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flash of concern. But it was quickly replaced by a neutral expression."Yeah, everything's fine," Alice said, her voice measured.I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. Alice wasn't exactly the best liar. I knew she was hiding something, but I decided not to push the issue...for now."I'll go to bed now. Good night," she murmured, before sliding under the sheets and turning away from me.I watched her, a mix of concern and curiosity still lingering in my mind. But as the silence stretched, I realized
AliceI glanced at my phone, noticing a message from Xavier. I sighed, feeling a mix of relief and frustration. He had apologized again for not being able to take me to the hospital himself, explaining that the driver would be delayed due to traffic. He had emphasized that I shouldn't go out on my own, reassuring me that the driver would pick me up and take me to the hospital safely.I rolled my eyes, feeling a twinge of annoyance. But as I read through the message again, I couldn't help but smile at Xavier's concern for me. I set the phone aside and stood up, deciding to pass the time by watching TV.I settled into the plush armchair in the living room, flipping through channels until I landed on my favorite series. As I watched, I found myself becoming completely absorbed in the story, laughing and crying along with the characters. Time flew by, and before I knew it, I had been watching for hours.Just as I was getting to the climax of the episode, I heard the sound of the front doo
AliceI lay on the hospital bed, anxiously waiting for the doctor's verdict. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Brown," he said gently. "But you are not pregnant. Those are just symptoms of stress, and I advise you to take a rest from work."I swallowed hard and nodded my head."But... did you find anything wrong with me?" I asked, my voice shaking slightly. "Is there anything wrong with me? Why can't I get pregnant?""You're alright, Mrs. Brown," he said, his tone sympathetic. "We've checked, and your body is quite okay. We don't know the reason why you're unable to get pregnant, but I advise you to bring your husband in for a check-up, just in case."My thoughts swirled as I processed the doctor's words. I wondered what my husband's reaction would be. Would he want to do it? Would he even care?Lately, I'd noticed a change in his behavior, and it filled me with worry. We were three years into our marriage, and this sudden shift was unsettling, leaving me feeling sad and uncertain.I still needed to p...
