SEAN:

I went in search of Sekani and thankfully, I found her discussing with Shirley and one of her employees. Jazz music played in the background, matching the atmosphere.

Low-hanging crystal chandeliers lit the room up, giving it a clean aura, and coupled with the dinner gowns and tuxedo guests had on, it was the perfect atmosphere for a beautiful party.

Thankfully, Sekani had a smile on her face and she turned, like she knew I was watching her, and smiled at me. She waved me over and it sent a wave of relief washing over me. At least, she was no longer in a bad mood. That alone was a relief for me.

She placed a hand on my back the moment I walked towards her, guiding me towards the middle of the room, right in front of a few women who looked familiar. There was something about them that screamed cooperate and boss ladies apart from their dresses, the aura they exuded told tales.

"Girls," Sekani called to their attention and they all turned to her, their smiles wideni

    SEAN: She confidently continued her way towards me, a small smile on her face as she flipped her hair to the bank. The light kissed her skin, causing it to glimmer and I wondered how many men she must have trampled underfoot. No, I wasn't at all attracted to her. It was the air around her. The energy she exuded captured my attention. She then took a seat beside me and smiled at me before putting her dress in order. "Hey," I waved a finger at her. "Fancy seeing you seated out here," she chuckled. "You heard what I said earlier, right?" "Yes, I did," I sighed. "I really don't know what to say in reply to that. It's her party." "And you are her husband." She shrugged. "Shouldn't that concern you that she is in the arms of the man who she once had a thing with?" I laughed. "It might have been a one-time thing because it didn't surface on the internet." "Of course, it didn't," Toni smiled and reached for the purse in her hand. She took out a plastic tube and b

    SEKANI: Rebecca. My arch nemesis from college. Seeing her here gave me some sort of comic relief. I'd laughed along with Yuri and Amelia the moment she walked in. Of course, both women didn't go to college with me but they knew Rebecca because I told them about her at a certain moment in time, when we all went on our very rare vacation. We'd all been talking about college and our conversation somehow stirred back to my late sister's friends. Seeing her here tonight had to be the funniest turn of events because why the hell was a lady who had once embarrassed and kicked me out of a sorority party because I wasn't 'cool' enough at my party? How the hell had she even gotten an invitation? I knew Shirley couldn't make that mistake as she wasn't even on our canceled guest list. Someone must have given her. "Don't give me that look," Sean said beside me, his voice clipped. "I didn't invite her because I don't even have an invitation. I am only here because we are married."

    SEKANI: Sean was unresponsive, moving robotically and smiling at me as we waltzed around the room. I knew he didn't mean anything he was doing. He didn't mean to smile or pull me in. It was all for the public eye and the camera. But it got to a point where it started to feel really intense. He nuzzled my neck and pulled me in, his arm tightening around my waist. The song playing in the background had the most intense violin play I'd ever heard and this was my first time listening to it. But it wasn't so for Sean and I could tell from the way he swirled us both around so perfectly, like he was a professional dancer. He lifted me off the floor, his arms gripping my waist tightly as he twirled me around once again. Other dancers had slowed down and were watching in fascination and when he picked me up again, our gazes locked. His eyes narrowed slightly before he pulled me into him and buried his head into my neck. "I've tried to fight the attraction I have for you but it's al

    SEKANI: I walked back into the hall, my arms wrapped around my waist in a form to protect myself. Sean doing the same for me had left an impact and the fact that he left afterwards made me feel extremely guilty. More guilty than I wanted to feel. Jake had climbed into his car the moment he stood up to his feet, glaring at me and giving Sean the middle finger and when I called after Sean, he ignored me, walking into the cab he had flagged down in my absence. Nothing made sense anymore. Not the music playing in the background, not the laughter and the clink of wine glasses. Hell, not even Shirley running around and making sure everything was in order made me satisfied but as angry as I felt, I knew I had to smile until tonight was over. I knew I had to speak to everyone and maintain that expression until tonight was over and hopefully, I could get back home and speak with Sean. It wasn't like I owed him anything. Hell, it was a contract marriage and although complicated, all

    SEKANI: Three days. It had been three days since I last saw Sean and not only was I greatly bothered, I was extremely worried. I tried to concentrate at work, forcing myself into believing I wasn't at all affected by whatever it was that would have him not returning home for three days. Hell, I didn't care if he got kidnapped or something. He was an adult and the only thing binding us together was this contract marriage which was going to end eventually. So I focused on work and ignored whatever thoughts lingered in my head. "I am seated right in front of you, Sekani." A voice that had me snapping my head up spoke. Sighing, I leaned away from my desk and leaned back into my seat. "I am really sorry. I'm just tired." "Tired?" He raised his brows, not quite believing a word I said about being tired. "Are you sure you're tired? Or is it something else?" "Something else like what?" I asked, raising my brows in askance. "Someone you haven't seen for the past three d

    SEAN: "The sunset is beautiful. Most times, I don't believe that we are blessed with this sight and take it for granted," she shifted from one foot to another. "You know, we should appreciate nature more and try to see the beauty in it but we don't. We never want to. We're laden with life's problems and other shenanigans that even taking a deep breath and watching nature play its course never happens." "Is that why you moved to the countryside, granny?" I turned to look at her, smiling and happy that she was healthy and happy. She nodded and dolled her white hat before trudging back to her seat. I followed behind her and tried to help her swat but one glare from her had me pulling back and chuckling fondly. "Yes, that's why I moved to the countryside apart from the fact that my children were starting to give me so many problems I couldn't even stand.." I took a seat beside her and stared into the horizon, at the beautiful sunset reflecting on the water body and leaving me

    SEKANI: As soon as he left, I picked up my laptop and crashed it to the ground, glass splinters scattering around the ground as I crumbled to the floor in tears. I had no idea why all of this was happening but I wanted to break down. I knew it was imminent from the night of the anniversary and all I had been doing was postpone it but today, I wasn't sure I could hold back anymore. I broke into a fit of sobs, angry at myself for letting Sean get to me this way. All the years of immune practice from Sean had crumbled on that night and I didn't realize until he left. I didn't realize how much I still cared and felt the same way for him until he left and the idea of it all weakened me. The idea of it all made me feel vulnerable once again. It turned me into a naive freshman student at college who didn't know her worth. I hated him and I hated me more forever falling for his antiques. Once I was done crying, I wiped my tears and picked up my purse and keys before making my w

    SEAN: I paced from one side of my office to the other, impatiently waiting for a response from the delivery guy I had specially paid to send the package to Sekani. An hour had passed and I was yet to hear from him. At the sound of a knock on the door, I hurried towards it, disappointed to see Jake standing in front of me when I opened the door. "Why do you look at me like I am the last person you want to see today?" "Because you are," I flopped into one of the seats. "What are you doing here?" "I've not seen my best friend in a week. His calls haven't been picked and then I am told that he's here today so I head over to his office to see him, only to be told that I am the last person who wants to see," He clutched his heart in pain. "That hurts really bad, I have to tell you." "How are you doing?" "Good," He took a seat beside me. "With you not around, things have quite been okay, I guess. Everyone respects me when you're not around." "You're being dramatic as

    SEKANI: The next morning, I woke up in a daze. I was in torment and that torment was the memories from last night. How did it happen? What had driven me to his study, one I had never stepped foot into since I could last remember? Sean was snoring softly beside me and I wore just panties and nothing on top. I tried not to move for the sake of not waking him up and having to spend the next few moments awkwardly. How could I get his fucking arm off me? It was almost the crack of dawn and the skies were starting to turn into a lighter shade of Ultramarine. Birds were starting to sing and music played softly in the background from Sean's phone. Yes, while we were having several rounds of sex and waking at intervals to his hard crotch between my buttocks, he had stopped to play music to spice up the moment. And it had done the work. After he did that, it was all me instigating it all, ignoring the warnings my brain sent to me. At that moment, nothing made sense. Only having Sean th

    SEAN:Mya was fast asleep on the couch when I got to the living room. I picked her up and took her back to her room, placing her on the bed and tucking her in before kissing her forehead goodnight. I stood there at the head of her bed for a while, watching her sleep peacefully. Mya was the reason any of this made sense because I knew I'd have taken my L and found my way. I couldn't deal with the guilt and all of these anymore but how could I just leave when I had a daughter who loved me so much? Knowing that sleep was going to be hard for me to find, I made my way to my study and decided to complete a few tasks. Thankfully, by the time I was going to be done, maybe Sekani would be fast asleep. I didn't want to get into a conversation with her and even if it was going to take just one night of not speaking to each other again, I could survive it. I was ten minutes into finishing up a few documents when I heard the sound of the door clicking open. I looked up to see Sekan

    SEAN: Spending the whole day with Mya had been nice, but worrying over Sekani and her whereabouts didn't allow me enjoy it to the fullest. I tried to be the most playful around Mya but I could tell she didn't believe I was. She constantly asks if I was sad until I forced myself to be overly happy. Things you did for the women you loved. I was going to do anything to make Sure Mya was happy. I kept checking Sekani's twitter page to see if she was going to make any post. I was already used to anticipating her posts as I had spent the last five days stalking her page and following whatever was going on in her life. And now that she was out, I found myself doing the same thing. It wasn't until eight o'clock she called me, sounding a little bit drunk. Her words slurred and I got more worried. She was probably calling me because she got lost. I was sure Sekani would never call me now matter what the hell was happening and now that she did, I was kind of happy that she actual

    SEKANI: I dressed casually today. It was Sunday and also a beautiful day. And thankfully, I had started my morning on a good note. There was something about going to that cliff that made me realize life could be beautiful and enjoyed. Something about it that reminded me we only lived once. So I decided within myself to spend my weekends doing nothing but having the time of my life. But now, how could I have the time of my life with Sean in it? How could I enjoy it with the reminder that someone who had wronged me in the past was also enjoying it with me? It felt like I was going round and round in circles because hell, I shared Sean to suffer and somehow, I hadn't even achieved a thing that made me proud of the fact that I actually did. Nothing I had planned seemed to work. It was either irrelevant or just something I didn't do. And as I drove out of the gates of the house, I made a mental note to harden my heart. I made a mental note not to look at Mya and decided agains

    SEKANI: Sean was quick to catch and stabilize me and when I tried pulling away, he held me from moving and shut the door behind me. Even in the dimly lit room, I could see how his eyes dropped intensely onto mine. I could see how they swirled with so much intensity. "Sekani," He muttered under his breath. "Can we talk now?" "There are several places to talk and you choose this place?" I asked, raising my brows in askance. "Why choose here of all places?" "Let's not act like we don't know you've been avoiding me since my return. This was the only place I could get you," He pulled away from me and folded one arm over the other before turning towards the door. "I haven't been avoiding you," I replied. "I have only been on my own. Doing my own things like I usually do. We have never done anything together and you could have simply told me you wanted to speak to me." He scoffed and raked his fingers through his hair. "Really? When have you ever given me the c

    SEAN: "My name is Mya Salvador," Mya spoke slowly and politely. I'd never seen such an active child mellow to my mother and this was the first since she greatly disliked kids. I could tell my grandmother was already in love with her. From the way she smiled and spoke, they both enjoyed a wonderful conversation. So I decided to leave the kitchen in search of Sekani. I made my way over to the living room but it was void of her presence. Whistling, I made my way to the room in a way to alert her that I was coming to see her. But then, I got to her room and didn't see her there. Frowning, I stopped by the door and stared into the room, void of her presence. None of her clothes hung around. No sign of her at all. I walked into the room and took a seat on the side of her bed. I ran my hands on the sheets, imagining she was there and I was caressing her body. I slept beside her last night and yet, she felt so far. So distant. I couldn't reach out to her as I was very scared of b

    SEKANI: By the time I arrived home, it was almost dusk and I could already tell that Sean was in the kitchen making dinner once again. Mya was also in the kitchen and as I walked into the house, I heard her chirpy voice in the kitchen, asking Sean all sorts of annoying questions he kept answering her. It was finally nice to have him back. Now, Mya could disturb someone else that wasn't me. Without going into the kitchen as I was avoiding Sean at all costs, I made my way into the room, took off my clothes, and decided that the food I had shared with the girls was enough. And tomorrow was Sunday so there was really nothing to do. I checked the time to see it was a few minutes after seven o'clock. Watching movies on Netflix wasn't a bad idea so I did just that, opening up my laptop and logging in before spending over thirty minutes looking for a suitable movie to watch. Well, I found one. It was a historical romance movie set in France and it was something I could

    SEKANI: After what happened last night with me losing my guard, I promised myself not to let it happen again. For a man who had disappeared all of a sudden a week ago, I shouldn't have even let him touch my skin. It was a mistake and I wasn't going to let it repeat itself. After breakfast, I went back to the room we shared, got cleaned up, and slipped into a sundress. I had a day out with Yuri, Amelia, and Toni. It had been months since we last hung out and now that our schedules finally aligned with no one sick or tired, as snatched up the opportunity and decided to hang out. We were going to be having a picnic at the beach and Toni had taken that upon herself, asking me to come along with bottles of wine. I took my toke today, applying skincare and light makeup before putting on my jewelry and snatching my handbag from the shelves in the walk-in closet built into Sean's room. When I got to the living room, Mya was seated on the beanbag with Sean on the floor besid
