2024-10-29 19:42:56When 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.

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.

Gina wrapped the sheets around herself one more time, trying to get comfortable as she heard the far away alarm ringing in her head. Some part of her knew it was time to get up but she didn't want to just yet. Maybe five or ten more minutes, and she would set about her day. Instantly, she remembered that she was still a stay at home wife, so she settled down further into the bed and started to go back to sleep when she recalled the events of last night. For the first time, Henry showed his desire for her and somehow, they ended up having a steamy session together.A part of her felt ashamed for being too easy and allowing him have his way when he insulted her and would probably do more if given the chance. However, the greater part of her was happy and quite satisfied. It was nearly obvious that he was holding back form being with her, but whether or not she was just a way to keep himself together was what she didn't know. With those conflicting feelings in mind

When Henry woke up the next morning, he was amazed to find that his hand was occupied by something. Still in the throes of sleep, it felt like a deja vu moment and he instantly recalled how he got out of bed that morning in the resort and found his wife sleeping next to him. With that in mind, he turned to his side and once again, saw his wife sleeping peacefully. She was fully turned to face him and as he noticed the bed sheets drawn up to her neck, he remembered the events of last night. He groaned in excitement and smiled at her tracing the contours of her face with his eyes. He couldn't help but remember the events of last night, especially how receptive she was to his advances. Try hard as he may, he could no longer remember what started the makeout session between them. All he knew was that one minute they were fighting, and the next, he was thrusting into her like he had never done before. Gina brought out something different in him, and it both excited and scared him. Now tha

Henry's drive to his family house was nothing short of exciting. From the unexplainable traffic jam that held him in one spot for close to thirty minutes to the multimillion dollar investment being held the next day to the thoughts of his mother finally handing him the company, his mind was filled with a lot of things. Luckily for him, he was able to get to his mother before she placed another call to him. After the fifth call, he could sense she was getting agitated and just wanted everything to be over with. That was the same thing he desired, especially as the fact that he left Gina all alone constantly hung over him.Still, he comported himself when he got to the building that housed him for two decades, before he decided to move out and make a name for himself. As he walked up the steps leading to the ornate door, he couldn't help but recall the argument he had with his parents over his decision to leave. Like any other person would, they argued about his s

By the time Henry got home, Gina had already packed her bags and was just waiting for him to get back so she could tell him about her lack of interest in the marriage. She no longer wanted to be part of the sham they were playing and whatever he wanted to do after that wouldn't be her business. After waking up to see his annoying note, Gina spent the day cursing herself for falling for a man who didn't see her worth, right before she went to his room in search of the contract paper. They were several copies in her room, but surely they had to be an original.Destroying that particular one wouldn't do anything, except make her feel a little bit better and that was what she was counting on. After searching for over an hour and trying hard not to scatter the room or make Henry aware she searched his room without permission, she finally found it in a file inside one of his secret storages. Not that they were secret anymore, but they probably would become that again

Gina was just as shocked to see Ken. When she packed her bags and decided to leave Henry's house that afternoon, she wasn't expecting her ex boyfriend to show up. There had been no communication between them after he tried to kiss her so she couldn't really understand why he was at the house. More so, it was kind of weird for him to see that she and Henry were having troubles in their relationship and just for show, she actually had the mind to just run up and give her husband a hug. She was that uncomfortable with having Ken around, but either he didn't notice that or was just trying to fool around because a smile broke into his face. "Are you leaving him already? After just one month of marriage?" Ken asked, hut it sounded more like he was mocking her. Instantly, she remembered when she was leaving his house amidst tears after catching him cheating and he told her in a fit of rage that she would never find somebody who wanted her more than he did. During their relationship, he alwa

Even after nearly half an hour, Gina couldn't believe Ken would be so wicked as to do something to her like that. Even though she knew they weren't the best of friends and everything was just to keep herself occupied till she either left Henry or he came back to his senses, she couldn't have imagined her ex boyfriend would be with her solely for the purpose of destruction. Tears stung her eyes but she willed herself not to cry. Apart from the fact that she already promised never to cry because of Ken, she didn't want to make a fool of herself.Across the corner of her eyes, she turned to look at Henry who was unusually silent through everything her ex boyfriend was saying. He was sporting one of his usual frowns and she felt like peering into his mind to ascertain what he was thinking but that couldn't be done. Instead, she settled for trying to gain his attention but still, he kept mute and just stared at Ken for a number of minutes. To Gina, it seemed like he

From Henry's room, he could hear everything going on downstairs and he felt so much like strangling Ken. It annoyed him greatly that they hadn't even finished discussing the contract marriage terms and he came to blackmail Gina. He certainly hadn't wanted to tell her just yet that his mother have him the rights to the company, because that would make her feel unwanted. He shook his head as he recalled the things he wanted to do with her that day. They would just sleep in and have fun. Looking back at it now, his mother and Ken had picked the wrongest date to bring up stuff.He couldn't deny that he was partly angry at her, because if everyone was being honest, she kept on going out with her ex boyfriend even when he adviced her not to. Immediately Henry found out who the guy was, he instantly knew it wouldn't end well. He seemed like the type of person who betrayed people, so he couldn't really say the guy's plans came as a shock to him. However, Gina was a diff

Just before Gina called Mr. Cornwell, she decided to go visit her mother. It was a combination of two reasons, mostly because she hasn't seen the woman in a long time and because her best friend also wanted to see her. She was feeling really guilty about how she had neglected to see her mother these last few weeks, but it was not due to the fact that she was busy or something. Rather, she was just that a negligent with a lot of places in her life but she quickly shook her head. If she was being honest with herself, there was absolutely no excuse for what she did.With that in mind, she quickly turned to her friend and thanked her for making her to be able to see her mother again. She didn't know what she would have done without the girl in her life, but she said nothing and together they went to visit the woman.

The next morning, Hevry was up earlt because he needed to catch his flight which was scheduled for eight am, and considering the fact that it was very impromptu, he had to tell the executives at the office. They were shocked and a few mumbled about the sudden decision, but all in all, they agreed to work without him for a week and all that was left was to tell Gina. 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. In hindsight, she should have known that he wasn't the kind of person to bend easily but she also hasn't suspected that he would be so averse to modelling. Internally, she was really annoyed at the w

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
