As Gina played games with her friends, she tried her possible best to forget about what Henry said to her. Even though she appreciated him for everything he did and tried to make it up to him, he easily shunned her like always. More than that, she was more disappointed in herself for believing that he would ever change his ways. Everytime she wanted to stop believing in him and just live her life, Henry would act all nice and friendly and Gina being who she was, would start talking to him all over again. At that point, she couldn't even recall how many times he shunned her away.After he left, staying in the house was too unbearable and rather than allow her tears waste over a guy who was most likely getting drunk with his friends, she decided to call her friends so the could spend the night together. Picking her best friend's house as the one of choice, she quickly dressed up and met them there. Within minutes, her mood had been elevated and it wasn't long before she stopped thinking

As soon as Gina got into the house, she expected Henry was boiling. The air was thick with tension, and the househelps refused to look at her in the eye. Everywhere was peculiarly quiet and after a few minutes of looking around with no trace of him, she finally approached one if the cleaners and asked for her husband's wjerenouts. With a still bent head, she told her Henry had been in his room since last night. Gina glanced at the time and shook her head, quickly moving upstairs. It was already past nine am and she was eager to get the argument out of the way, so everyone could move on with their lives.She got to the bedroom door and knocked for a moment, but there was no response so she made to open it, surprised to find that it was already unlocked. For some seconds, she wondered why no one had realized that until now. Undeterred, she walked into the room and met Henry sitting down in his bed looking over the window. The tension between them was very thick and visible that Gina fel

Immediately he realized that Gina was married to Henry Thorn, he began his own investigations and eaily found out that the company he was working for belonged to the Thorn family. He felt insulted ad for some minutes, Ken contemplated quitting. How could he be working for the husband of his ex girlfriend? It was a huge blow to his ego, but after some drinks, he reasoned that it could also go to his advantage. Within hours, he got the address of his boss and knowing Gina would be living there, he decided to pay them a visit.The first time he got there, both husband and wife were around so he couldn't cause much of a scene. He watched in his rented car as they came out for a run and to others, they seemed happy but he knew Gina so well. She wasn't happy nor excited and with one look at her eyes, he knew she had been crying. His first instinct was to rush forward and demand an explanation from Henr

As Henry's secretary passed around the minutes of the last board meeting, he struggled to stay in focus but frequently found himself looking over the windows. After coming slightly late and getting odd looks from the top executives, he tried to get in tune with the task of the day but even that was too much to handle. Instead, he found himself thinking of his row with Gina some hours earlier. Though he had to admit that she was right on the fact that he always blew her off, he couldn't help but be angry at how she ignored his calls. He sighed and looked at the men in front of him. He wasn't really in the mood for doing anything, and he tried to focus on the meeting which had already started. Like always, they were talking about how best to increase the stocks and buy more shares and for a moment, he tried to offer his own input. As the acting chairman of the company, Henry felt it was his duty to act as impartial and fairly as he could, so he listened to both sides of the board member

Immediately Henry drove in, he sighted Gina's car first and heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but he already expected her car not to be in the house. That meant David had probably retired for the night, as he wasn't permitted to watch his wife during evening hours but Mr. Luther was a good exception. He shook his head and tried to rid his thoughts of work. He was back home and it was one of his off nights, which meant he wasn't going to be doing any office work whatsoever. With that in mind, he smiled and took out his suitcase, nearly dancing all the way inside.Maybe he would try to appease his wife, but then he frowned slightly. What was the point of appeasing her now and then going against her later? Maybe it would be best if they just ate dinner together and continued with their one word conversations till she gave up. Yes, that was the best thing to look forward to. He then entered the house, and saw that the cook still appeared to be making dinner. When she saw him, t

Gina felt a strong breeze and dragged the covers further up to cover her body when her eyes opened with a smile on her face. For the first time in a while, she woke up feeling happy and rejuvenated for the day and it was ten seconds later that her brain rebooted and she managed to catch herself. She was feeling this way because of the long call she had last night with her ex boyfriend. Then and even now, she found herself wanting to break away from him for the pain he caused her and a strong feeling that they could still be friends. If anyone told her she would be smiling with him after he cheated on her, she would have laughed at the person's face.Now, here she was, barely a while after the three hour long call, preparing to go out with him. He intitated the outing, quickly insisting it was a way of getting her to forgive him and moving on and even though she accepted it, she knew what was he wanted from her. There was no doubt in her mind that Ken wanted her back, and try as she di

Gina watched as Henry's eyes widened for a moment, before he sighed and ran a hand through his unwashed hair. She had the sudden urge to ruffle it, but instead, she stood in the same spot, waiting for what Henry would say. After her outburst at wanting to have a break from the contract, she didn't know if he would see reason with her anger and frustration. There was ample time for them to go out so it always annoyed her when he seemed to enroach on her personal time. She mildly wondered if he did it on purpose.Meanwhile, Hnery continued to stare at her with an unreadable expression. There was no way to tell how he was feeling, and after matching his look for a few seconds, she broke it and went to sit on the bed. Whatever he wanted to do or say next was up to him, but one thing she wasn't going to do was agree to his demands. Finally, Henry just sighed and shook his head before leaving the room. The sudden move after nearly five minutes of staring at her was surprising, but totally w

Immediately Henry saw his friend of ten years and counting, he felt like running into his arms and hugging him. It was something the frequently did during their school days, but afterwards, both saw themselves as grownups and reverted to hand shakes or one second hugs. However, this wasn't the time for one of those but he struggled to hold it in when Barry walked to him and gave him a hug with a friendly pat on the back. Maybe Henry didn't have to talk, before his friend understood."What's up man? Everything alright at work?" Henry didn't know how to feel about the question, but something about made him upset. Did people really see him as someone who put his work abouve every other thing? Was he gradually turning into a workaholic like his father?

Rather, she was just that a negligent with a lot of places in her life but she quickly shook her head.

As he dressed up, he couldn't help but remember the argument he had with his wife last night, and before the call came in, he was hoping to settle with her last night but apparently, it would no longer be possible.Within minutes, he finished dressing up and went downstairs where he realized that Gina was already sitting at the dining table. The first thing he noticed was that she was still clad in her nightwear, which meant she had just woken up from sleep. Could it be that she had done it for him, he whispered, and despite himself, he smiled. Maybe, she was finally seeing reason with his decision. He was already at the f

Gina watched as he frowned for some seconds before finally sighing and putting his hands in his pockets. His gestures didn't really seem like he was open to listening, but at least, it was better than when his arms were folded and he just looked like she was disturbing. She really wanted him to understand why she was so interested in doing the modelling, even though he wouldn't be the one to ultimately decided if she did it or not. Normally, she night not even have told him. Maybe he would just hear that she had settled into it.But with her new feelings for him came new responsibilities. Since they were dating and he had plans of being serious, she felt obligated to share the details of her life with him. But as the days passed and he gave her an attitude, she regretted it more and more.

Henry wanted so bad to follow Gina up the stairs to her room, but before he heard the lock turning, he already knew it wouldn't be possible. It was clear as day to see that she was really upset with him, and while he understood why, he also didn't want to allow her to go into the world of modelling. If advicing her meant that they wouldn't speak anymore that might, he was easy to live with that. With his mind set on that, he headed upstairs as well and in few minutes, he was already in the bathroom.More than anything, he loved Gina and wanted her to be respected at all costs. Apart form her being his wife which came with a lot of respect, and prestige, she was also a woman who deserves to be valued. Not sleazy looking. Henry knew it was wrong to refer to the women like that, but a lot of times, that was how he saw them. Always scantily dressed and ready to engage in other things. The public didn't know much about him, but given who he was, he was sometimes privy to underground inform

As the chaffeur drove them home, Gina failed to understand why Henry was stopping her. She even tried to think about whether the man he was talking to had annoyed him in some way, so much so that he wanted to rub it off on her and stop her from doing what she wanted. Even though she had never really thought about becoming a model or something like that, she had always wanted a chance at spotlight. A chance for people to see how beautiful she was, on the outside. Though it was still a good thing, she sometimes got tired of having to rely on her inner beauty.In some sort of way, it sounded vain but she had long realized that in order to be happy, sometimes you needed to be selfish and put yourself out there. When she decided to go to the function with Henry, she didn't even given much thought to her outfit except the fact that she looked amazing in it. However, people complimented her on it so much detailing how it fit her body size and texture. If she was being honest with herself, it

Before Gina realized it, she and Mr. Cornwell were deep in conversation with Henry inputting something every now and then. She had learned he was a fashion icon for one of the leading designers in the country, and he was currently on the lookout for new models. Apparently, he was at the party to scout for anyone who seemed like they fit the type, and she found herself enthralled by his stories. For the first time since she arrived the party, she was actually holding a conversation with someone. Not just being by her husband's side while they discussed politics and things she didn't know about.Even though she felt that Henry wasn't very comfortable with the discussion, she couldn't help but feel a certain sense of power. She was the kind of person who actively followed style brands and fashion icons, so most of the things Mr. Cornwell said were actually stuff she could relate to and have an opinion of. After a moment of them just talking, Henry excused himself to go and greet one of t
