our hours later, Gina still felt enraged by her husband's behaviour. How could he have left her and her injured leg to go back to work so suddenly? She was fuming, but who could she take it out on? Her friends had come over and spent some time trying to cheer her up, and for those moments, she didn't think about her husband. However, they certainly had to leave at some point and now, she was back to her default settings. A part of her felt like calling him to pour out her anger, especially as her feelings only proved to be right. She felt hurt that at the end, everything was just a fluke and once they were back home, he was so eager to allow her be.Feeling angry and a bit vengeful, she picked her phone and called the one person that would come running. Ken. On the third ring, he picked up and the first thing she noticed was how breathless he sounded. What had he been doing? It was two in the afternoon, and she didn't want to assume so she instantly inquired. "You sound breathless. Is
Beside her Ken ran a hand through his velvety soft hair. "Sorry for the smell. I wanted to cover it up, but I guess it didn't work." Gina smiled and tried to shrug it off, as they sat down. She wasn't quite ready to talk about the fact that some things truly never changed, so she was grateful when Ken went to the kitchen and began to ask about her trip. Soon, they settled into a comfortable conversation and until the food was cooked, neither of them shut up. Apparently, Ken was looking for a side job so he could save money and open his own electronics workshop.She had seen him working and he was good at it, but there was no other way to help apart from offer emotional support. As the hours passed, they laughed and played games while Gina tried to remember all the while that this guy could easily break her heart again if she let him. It was nearly nightfall wen she decided to start going home, and Ken offered to drop her off."No, you don't
Roses were not her favourite flowers. That's was the first thing that popped into Gina's mind when she came into he house and saw everywhere littered with roses of every colour. She was allergic to them until a few years ago when the doctor confirmed she had grown out of it. So, seconds after coming back from Ken's house, she was already annoyed. However, the bigger question was who bought them? Coming in, there was no sign of Henry's car so she assumed he wasn't back home. Where he had gone was a mystery to her, but for now, she was focused on finding where the trail of flowers led to.Slowly, she went upstairs aided by the railings as she refused the driver from coming with her into the house. By the time she reached the top of the stairs, it was easy to see that everything trailed to her room and she frowned in confusion. Had someone mistakenly ordered the bouquets and somehow, it came to the house? The men in her life weren't up to the task at all, so a case
After a couple of hours, Henry finally decided to go back to the house and get on with his life. He still couldn't believe that after everything, Gina had blown him off like it wasn't worth it. He sighed and switched off his car engine, looking up into his wife's room. The lights were turned off and he mildly wondered where she was. She wasn't supposed to get out of bed until after a couple of days, but his guard informed him about the hours she had spent with Ken and it made him boil in ager. Maybe she was getting something from him and didn't see the point of being with him anymore. However, he shrugged and got out of the car with the intention of going straight to his room.He wasn't in the mood to see her or say anything to anyone, but immediately he got into the house, the cook rushed forward to meet him. It was as if she had been waiting for him, and against his will, he asked her, "Has my wife had dinner?" The woman nodded her head and Henry just nodded as well. So, that meant
All through work, Henry found it hard to focus. First, it was the weird looks some of the board members, including Mr. Luther, kept giving him. At first, he found it odd because they were staring at him like they knew something he didn't but after a while, Henry realized that it was mainly because they weren't expecting to see him at work until the following week. He couldn't blame them though, because he too had not been expecting to resume work so his mind wasn't really into it. However, they roped him in and gave him an update of how things had been running.During the meeting, Henry caught his father's best friend looking at him in annoyance and he almost couldn't stop himself from taunting the man with an outstretched tongue. So, he gave him a mischievous smile instead and watched as he frowned in annoyance before turning back to listen to the meeting. For all his efforts at trying to focus in the work of the day, he found himself thinking about the beautif
Gina slowly counted the hours till she could get out of the house and go out with Ken. It wasn't like she was missing him or anything, but she felt a bit locked up and besides, Henry would soon be home. The events of last night continued to replay in her head and the more she thought about it, the more she realized that maybe she was in the wrong for blantantly rejecting his gifts. At that time, she was still raw from the eventful weekend they had and doubts had started to creep into her mind. So, accusing him again seemed like the easiest thing to do.In the middle of her thoughts, a call came in from Ken and she slowly moved towards the window where she saw his car waiting outside. She smiled and was about to start going downstairs when she looked ahead and saw one of Henry's guards on a phone call. The first thing on her mind was that he was reaching out to her husband, and she suddenly began to feel nervous. If she went ahead with the date, Henry might find them and get upset or m
When Ken dropped her off half an hour later, they barely exchanged the words before he bid her a goodnight and drove away from her driveway. Gina placed her balance on the one hand crutch, trying to work out the real reason for her refusal. It wasn't like she really put so much importance of the contract marriage and its rules, because there were certain ways to move past it and besides, it stated they could have affairs with other people. Gina knew she had been using that line for quite a while but at the moment, she didn't care. It was her only way of defending herself with her complex relationship with Ken.However, that didn't mean she would want to go back to Ken after he cheated on her, or rather, used her to cheat on his wife. Going back to an ex was something she never did, especially in a situation like this. As she stepped into the house though, she realized that the true reason for not talking for Ken's charms was because of Henry. Over time and even
Gina's heart raced as Henry leaned in closer. His lips were so close to hers that she could feel his warm breath on her face. She closed her eyes and parted her lips, ready to feel his kiss. Henry reached out and gently touched Gina's face, caressing her cheek with his thumb. She closed her eyes, her heart racing as his hand moved down her neck and around her shoulders. She leaned in, her lips quivering as she waited for his kiss.Henry didn't disappoint. His lips met hers, soft and tender as he moved in closer. Gina sighed, her body melting against his as the kiss deepened. His tongue explored her mouth as his hands moved up and down her back, pulling her even closer. Henry's lips were soft and gentle as they moved over hers. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. Gina felt her heart flutter as his tongue explored her mouth.Gina wrapped her arms around his neck, wanting the moment to last forever. She felt like she was floating away on a clou
