Sekani:

It had been a week since Sean's visit to the establishment and all I had done for the rest of the week was think up a plan that would not only greatly benefit me, but bring him down.

It was the weekend now and after spending two hours at the office, I drove back home to pick up Mya from soccer practice. Of course, she was a hyperactive five year old and one of her teachers has suggested that she channeled that energy into soccer.

Watching her play along with other little girls had been the highlight of my day, taking my mind off work and the stress that came with it, including Sean's business proposal.

Now, she was fast asleep on my thigh, her favorite cartoon program playing mute on the television. I had turned down the volume as soon as she slept off, craving the peace of mind that came with silence.

I delved back into my thoughts, going over my meeting with Sean earlier this week. I was still very much impressed with myself at how I'd been able to keep a calm

  • Chasing His Revengeful Wife   Chapter 9

    SEAN: For a long hour, the Manila file sat unopened before me. I'd just returned back to my office after meeting briefly with Sekani. "Marriage?" I muttered to myself, turning the flap of the file open before sighing and leaning back into my swivel chair. That had come as a surprise. Of all the things that could have unfolded between us both, I didn't think she was going to offer for us to get married. Laughter rippled through me and my seat creaked as I finally leaned over to pick up the manila file and pull the paper out. I'd always known she had a soft spot for me. It had bordered towards obsession at that time but I felt nothing for her. Not even now. But I knew there was no thinking twice for me in this. I was going to do anything to make sure Atrix came back to its feet. It didn't matter what I had to do for that to happen. My eyes skimmed through the paper and I read the terms and conditions, how she was willing to help as a business partner but when I got t

    Sekani: "Hello, am I speaking with Sean's assistant? Inform him that I would like to speak to him as soon as his meeting is over. He should do that with immediate effect." I ended the call immediately. I was done speaking, placing my phone back on my desk before I went back to typing away on my computer. I was composing an email to send to Mya's class teacher, informing her that I was going to be missing the Parents-Teachers meeting that was going to be coming up in a few weeks. Better to inform her now so she can make arrangements. I didn't like going to those things as it made me sit with other mothers who were only concerned about taking care of their homes, always complaining about how their husbands rarely helped at home and left everything for them to do, gossiping about who dressed like this and how much they were worth. Sitting amongst these women did nothing but reduce my brain cells by several thousands in a space of an hour and I didn't want to be seen associating

    Sean: I followed Sekani, toward our reserved table. It was located in the middle of the restaurant, a very good vantage point for anyone to recognize us both. Being popular had its perks and we were going to utilize it right now. Although I wasn't sure why she wanted us to go public or get married in the first place, I had to admit that it was fun to sit here and watch her stare at the menu, a few creases on her forehead as her eyes ran through the moss green card before her and when she looked up and caught me staring, instead of looking away like she would formerly have done, she stared right back at me with raised brows. "Is there something interesting on my face?" Blinking, I shook my head before picking up my menu card. "Apart from your pretty face, nothing else." "I'd appreciate it if you stopped using those cringe slurs. It makes my skin crawl." She replied tersely before going back to stare at the menu card. Shifting in my seat, I leaned forward. "You know we ha

    Sekani: The first thing I felt was a crippling shock. My eyes were wide open as his lips glided against mine, coercing my clamped-up lips open. My palms pressed into his broad chest and I felt the erratic beat of his heart and how chiseled his muscles were. Before I could make sense of what was happening, I kissed him back with the same energy, sliding my hands up to his shoulders before I wrapped my arms around his neck. His fingers sank into the skin of my waist, pulling me in and gaining full access to my mouth. I let out a moan I'd been holding back, and tilted my head to the side for a better angle as we continued to kiss. This was no ordinary kiss. It felt like I had been yearning for this, a long time ago. Like I'd been waiting for this moment because I missed him. It was intoxicating. It played with my head but the feelings were soon cut short as soon as I heard a click. Sean pulled away, leaving me empty and flustered and I glanced at his lips, seeing how red i

    Sekani: "Ma'am, we have arrived." I was seated at the back of the car, my feet clad in thigh-high boots and a bodycon dress that reached the tip of my boots. Around my body was a navy blue jacket. A pair of sunshades sat on my face, large enough to cover most of my eyes and brows. I knew fully well that this wasn't going to save me from the reporters trying to get information regarding the news that had surfaced on the internet. I hadn't expected it to circulate within a few hours. Hell, I'd expected everything to flood the media the next day or so when they were able to gather information but it seemed like the picture of us both kissing had sufficed for it all. Heaving a deep breath, I looked out of the window, through its tinted glasses and saw how swarmed up the entrance was. Several reporters with their cameras and mics up to pelter me with questions loitered about, creating a nuisance for the people going in and coming out. As much as that greatly annoyed me, I kne

    Sean: Sekani surprised me today. She was wearing a dress and a pair of dark shades hung off her manicured nails. As soon as she shut the door and turned to see me standing there, her face contorted into a frown. "What are you doing here?" Sighing, I pushed to my feet. "I know I didn't inform you before coming down to your office but I've been calling you all day. I called once last night and figured you would be busy so I decided to wait till this morning. You still didn't pick." Sighing, she raked her fingers through her ironed hair and walked around her desk before dropping her purse on the table. Her keys followed, crashing into the tempered glass before she placed both hands on her hip. "So now that you are here, why are you here?" Sighing, I cleared my throat. "I'm guessing you saw the group of reporters gathered in front of the office building. A picture of us kissing has surfaced on the internet." Her cheeks turned red and I noticed how flustered she looked. I

    SEKANI: With how things were starting to unfold, it was obvious that the people believed we were madly in love with each other. I'd seen posts on social media talking about us both and fawning over that one awkward picture of us both kissing and while all I wanted to do was take down every of that photo from every internet domain so I could at least, have a breath of fresh air, I knew I had to face the music. Thankfully, I made sure Mya was protected from the media and all that came with it. I'd asked her babysitter and her teachers at school to keep the news from her. I didn't want anyone asking her questions, knowing how popular I was amongst the mothers at school. It was one reason why I had desisted from attending their PTA meeting. It was obvious that at this point, I and Sean needed to appear before reporters in a press conference to talk about our relationship and where it was leading. Sheila had made that suggestion as she believed it was going to be faster to wrap

    SEAN: "What the fuck is wrong with you, Sean?" She yelled as soon as the door to her office clicked shut. Flinging her bag into one of the couches, she turned to look at me, her eyes wide in anger. "What did you just do out there?!" "I—" She stopped me with a raise of her hand, wildly shaking her head. "No excuses, Sean! No fucking excuses. Go straight to the fucking point. Tell me why you decided that proposing to me out of the blue before everyone without getting my consent felt like the best decision for you to make?!" I closed my eyes and rolled my fists against my thigh before looking up at her. "It was the best thing to do. With the way things are going, we need to find a way to just get this over with. Aren't you tired of seeing our pictures circulate? Everyone already believes we are in love. We need to take the first step. I know you want this to be over, don't you?" "Enough!" She snapped. "Do not say another word." "No, Sekani," I matched her voice. "You sh

    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

  • Chasing His Revengeful Wife   Chapter 88

    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
