Divorced before Marriage: The Forbidden Affair Chapter 23
Kaiden sang along with the sound buzzing from his home theatre as he knotted his tie in front of the mirror, completely aware of what day it was. It was a Monday! A beautiful Monday morning.The large bedroom was a little messy, but who cares? It'll be taken care of by the appropriate person.He had been called upon by his chef, who alerted him to come down for breakfast, but that wasn't going to be necessary as he was running late for work already. Or, maybe he was just too excited to eat. Kaiden always dreaded Mondays so much, but today was different. 'Who knows?' Perhaps he was expecting a promotion at work today if fate allowed it. "A promotion..." He chuckled. He wondered what it'd feel like. It's something he'd never experienced before because, of course, he knew who he was.Today held a lot of positive promises. There was going to be an interview today, carried out by the CEO himself - which was actually pretty strange. Kaiden didn't want to miss the opportunity of welcoming

'Take a deep breath, Delaney... Breathe...' Delaney cautioned herself. She couldn't afford to sell herself out so easily. Maybe Blaine was just trying to play mind games on her."What are you talking about, Blaine?" She cleared her throat and steadied her voice. Although her eyes almost betrayed her emotions, but she firmly masked her nervousness."Answer the damn question, Delaney!" he snapped at her, trying so hard to maintain a grip on his emotions."I was home all weekend, Blaine!" She half-yelled, but a thousand thoughts ran through her mind. She was very certain he'd attended the conference. And there was no way he could know she wasn't home during the weekend. She decided to stand firm on her lies."You sure about that?" A smirk played on his lips."What the hell are you talking about?" she was losing her patience and sanity."I had asked Tom to come check on you three times, Delaney. He met nobody when he arrived. But you said you were home all weekend. So how do you explain t

The reception was a little too busy. Busy people walking around, going about their duties. The ample space had a touch of elegance as the high-quality marble flooring added a touch of elegance to it.Laura sat patiently on the comfy leather sofa, which provided a cozy atmosphere for guests, while the soft ambient lighting created a warm, inviting atmosphere. Her legs were crossed stylishly but courteously as she quickly looked at her silver-colored wristwatch."How much longer?" She muttered to herself.Her eyes scanned the artwork and photographs that reflected the company's achievements. She looked closely at the name displayed prominently on the wall CROWN HOLDINGS CORPORATION. Her lips curled into a smile."Excuse me, ma'am," she called out to the receptionist, "sorry to bother you, but how much longer do I have to wait?""He'll be here soon, ma'am. Please be patient." Lexie, the receptionist, responded politely."Alright. Thanks." Laura was growing impatient. She'd been sitting f

"Please, don't kill me, please!" The teary-faced woman cried out, trembling on the floor where she knelt with both hands clasped together."Really? After fucking my husband, you whore!" The woman with the knife in her hand spat angrily."I didn't mean to, pl..." Her words were silenced by the squelching sound of the knife slicing through her.Greta jerked off her sleep, her hands trembling so hard. She was covered in sweat."Oh, my God..." she tried to steady her hands, wiping off the tear that threatened to fall. "How much longer will these nightmares torment me?" She sulked in a deep breath as sadness slowly crept in.She walked to the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee.The events of that horrible night still hunted her like a plague. The night she almost lost her life. Her heart ached, and she could swear she felt it bleeding too."No, not now, Greta," she told herself, walking towards the sitting room when she heard the doorbell.A visitor was the last thing she needed right now

"What?" She jerked off the table, but her trembling legs were too weak and shaky to carry her curious self. Adonis caught her before she could fall."Slow down, Dela.""Get away from me!" She half-yelled. "Adonis, you have to stop this. I'm no longer finding it funny.""Really now?" He smirked."I have a man in my life. You can't just barge in and... ""Delaney!" His voice was stern, "Can't you see? You are my weakness. I can't stop." He took a few steps closer to her. "Give me a chance.""I... Come on, Adonis. Stop being selfish.""I am selfish, Dela. I always get whatever I want. And now, I not only want you, but I need you."He closed the gap between them, tilting her head up to meet his gaze, "Can't you see, Dela? I am madly in love with you. No woman has ever brought me to my knees the way you've done." He took her hand, "I waited for three years to find you. And in those three years, I never touched another woman, not even for once. That is how much effect you have over me, babe

The glistening black Range Rover came to an abrupt halt after a few minutes.Velda couldn't believe what she had just seen. "Adonis Langston?" she pondered. "What the hell is going on?" she leaned back in her seat.This was the second time she'd seen him at Blaine's house in his absence. It couldn't be a coincidence. Blaine was obviously in the office. So what was Adonis doing at his apartment when he should be at work?"Or... Could it be that Blaine was at home?" She paused, giving it a long, hard thought. But if he was home, why then was Delaney the one who saw Adonis to the door?"Was it possible that Blaine was sick?" But why would Adonis, of all humans, visit someone like Blaine? Something just wasn't adding up.Veld picked up her phone curiously and dialed Blaine's number. It rang, but there was no response. She called for the second time, but there was still no response. "That bastard!" She cursed.Blaine had been avoiding her like a plague. And it's all because of that slut, D

Delany felt uncomfortable as she felt his heavy gaze on her through the transparent barricade that separated her small office from his large office. She shifted in her seat, adjusting and ensuring she wasn't doing anything wrong. It was her first day at work, and she needed to give a good impression. Maybe that was why her boss had been staring at her all morning. It could be a form of test or monitoring. She thought. Delaney had arrived at her new place of work that morning, and to her greatest surprise, when she got to Mr. Kaiden's office, he announced to her that she was going to have her office in a space that was next to his office. The two offices were almost in the same space, separated by transparent glass, and were private to the outside. Technically, she shared her boss's private office with him. She didn't know if she should find it uncomfortable or privileged. But... Oh, God! He didn't look like he'd stop staring at her anytime soon. She was determined to avoid his

The large office was tranquil, and it carried a heavy air of tension as Blaine wandered around the expanse of the office in a hurry, searching through the drawers frantically."Son of a bitch! Where is it!" He cursed under his breath as he searched the drawers below the large mahogany table.He stumbled upon a picture frame and picked it up, looking at it with an unreadable expression. A smirk played on his lips as he stared at the picture of Adonis and a woman in the frame."Motherfuckers," he cursed, dropping the frame just as he found it.He went over to the shelve just at the left corner of the office, still searching hurriedly. His heart raced. He knew he was treading dangerous ground, but that wasn't important at the moment. All he needed was to lay his hands on those files. That is all he had ever wanted.Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching the office. "Damn it!" His heart jumped out of his mouth. Adonis was back.Blaine felt the air leaving his lungs. He couldn't afford t

Delaney hesitated to answer the call when Kaiden had called, but now she was glad she did. He found a way to make her smile after all the drama that had ensued.“He texted me some minutes ago. Adonis must have forgotten that we are birds of the same feathers,” he chucked darkly.“For my sake, Kaiden, just let him be. Pay no attention to him. I’ll talk to him about our trip when he’s calm. Okay?” She pleaded. “I am sorry this had to happen. It’s all because of me.” Sadness laced her voice.Delaney had been blaming everything on herself. Maybe she should have ensured she reached Adonis before embarking on the trip.“Don’t say that, pretty. I don’t want you taking the blame.” He was so calm and collected that it surprised her.A few minutes later, Kaiden was already making her giggle like a high school teenager. She drew in a deep breath as she was already beginning to forget all that had happened some moments ago.*Adonis screeched his car to a stop with such force that the tires left

The afternoon sun was low in the sky, making the upscale neighbourhood where Delaney lived look golden. Adonis had been waiting impatiently in the shadows, every nerve in his body on high alert. The sight of Kaiden’s sleek black car pulling up in front of Delaney’s building was all the provocation he needed. His heart raced, consumed by a potent mix of jealousy, rage, and possessiveness.Every muscle in Adonis’s body tensed up. The pent-up anger, jealousy, and anxiety from the previous day now had a direct outlet, and he found himself taking quick steps downstairs before he even fully processed the decision. The door to Delaney’s front door flew open with a sharp bang, revealing a visibly agitated Adonis. He walked as fast as his legs could carry him, approaching Kaiden’s car.“What was Kaiden thinking to have stepped foot into this environment after all he did?” Adonis thought as his anger grew even worse.Kaiden, who was just stepping out of the driver’s seat, barely had time to

The morning light streamed in, casting a soft glow on the hotel room's luxurious interiors. Golden rays warmed the crisp white sheets of the bed, where Delaney slowly stirred from her slumber. The realization of the previous night's events came flooding her mind like a slowly developing photograph, revealing images and sensations that caused her heart to race. She felt a tinge of embarrassment.Blinking rapidly against the brightness of the room, she suddenly became aware of Kaiden's heavy gaze on her. She sat up immediately, brushing her disheveled hair off her face.Memories of their shared vulnerability, the unexpected kiss, the intertwining of fingers, the whispered moans; all these hung in the air like notes of a lingering melody.Delaney's heart fluttered with a mix of anxiety and an unfamiliar warmth. She could feel the flush creeping up her neck, tinting her cheeks like a soft rose. She swallowed, her voice barely above a whisper when she finally spoke, "Kaiden..." She mutte

"I need to make a call... Let me have my phone, please." Delaney, in her drunk state, said to Kaiden, who prevented her from taking her phone. Delaney, who was usually so composed and assured, was a different person tonight. The alcohol, which she had taken to calm her nerves, had taken a greater hold on her than she'd expected. It had loosened her inhibitions, causing a vulnerability to shine through that Kaiden had never seen before. Her emotions were raw and at the surface."You can call him tomorrow, Delaney. You are in no state to make calls at the moment." He said, concern etched on his face.He instantly regretted letting her have that much to drink. She had said a lot of things in her drunken state and it got him so emotional. Kaiden realised Delaney had been through a lot of shit and he wished above all things that he could be given the opportunity to take care of her.Kaiden knew his friend, Adonis. He knew Adonis could never change. He was so certain Adonis would break Del

On his way home, Adonis couldn't stop himself from feeling worried. He kept calling Delaney, but he still got no response from her. He felt uneasy.His sleek car pulled up to the entrance of Delaney's lavish residence, a modern structure with expansive, sweeping windows that contrasted the aged oaks and well-manicured gardens surrounding it.As soon as the car came to a stop in the large compound, he was greeted by the security personnel whom he had kept to mount the gate - a broad-shouldered man named Jared.The two had exchanged pleasantries several times in the past, but tonight, Adonis's demeanor was different—focused, with an underlying urgency.He had totally forgotten to call Jared earlier to ask after Delaney. He would have been in the best position to tell him what was going on."Good day, sir." Jared, the security personnel, greeted him.He couldn't fight the urge to ask after her, even though he could just walk into the house and find out."Jared," He turned towards him, "h

The room was dim and heavy with the sad smell of air that hadn't been refreshed and sheets that hadn't been cleaned.The curtains were only partly open, trying to block out the brightness of the world and making the room look slightly bluish.There were empty containers of food and crumpled tissues scattered on the floor. In the middle of the room, under a messy blanket, Blaine lay almost lifeless. He looked nothing like the man he used to be. The thought of Delaney hunted him.A sharp knock on the door jolted him out of his reverie. His heartbeat quickened. Was it Delaney? He hurried downstairs like his life depended on it and opened the door without hesitation. His heart sank when he laid his eyes on the figure in front of him."Mum? What are you doing here?" He asked frustratedly."I decided to come see you since you swore never to pick my calls." Tamara's sharp eyes took in his disheveled appearance and the state of the apartment when she walked in. She shook her head in utter di

Delaney tossed restlessly on the large bed, as her puffy eyes flickered open, staring weakly at the sun rays that filtered into the room. It was already midday. She was in no mood for work that day. She had to call in sick. She hoped Kaiden understood with her. He wasn't exactly happy about it. With a pair of sore eyes that had spilled out more tears than she could ever imagine she had, she wiped off her tear-stain eyes and made her way to the bathroom.Delaney had spent two nights crying. She thought this was supposed to make her feel less guilty about her affair with Adonis, but it hurt her instead. It hurt to know that Velda had been the other woman all along.Her phone beeped, and she took a glance at it. It was Blaine. He'd been calling and texting since the other night. He can go fuck himself.As soon as she was done from the bathroom, she laid back down on the bed. Today was all about mourning her life.Suddenly, her phone lit up again, and this time, she was determined to pi

"I didn't mean to make you feel this way. But I felt you had to know the truth, Dela." Adonis said, feeling remorseful when he saw how miserable Delaney looked."I know I am not a saint, Adonis. But... My sins weren't this bad. I loved Blaine with my whole heart." She sniffed. "He did this to me, even when he knows all I've been through at the hands of that lady and her mother.""What do you mean, Delaney?" Adonis got interested in the conversation. He moved closer to her, paying rapt attention to what she had to say."Velda is my stepsister, Adonis." More tears streamed down her face. "I have been through torture from my supposed family." She choked on her tears.Adonis was speechless. "Shhhhh..." He pulled her to himself. "You can talk to me about it some other time if you don't feel okay talking about it now." He encouraged her.Delaney was in no state to tell the story of her life. She was in shock and pain. Adonis felt his heart shatter. This explains it all. It explains the sadn

It was already getting late, and Blaine's worry was reaching another level. It was almost 10 pm, and Delaney was still not home, nor was she reachable.He considered so many possibilities. Was she safe? Had she finally left him? He felt like he was going insane. The thought of calling the police crossed his mind, but it was too early to report her as a missing person.He didn't even know how to start looking for her at a friend's place or anywhere else. He didn't know any of her acquaintances. He had neglected her that much and now felt sad so about it.Suddenly, he remembered she'd mentioned making a new friend at work. That could have been a lead to finding her, but he didn't know anything about this new friend of hers. Shit!As he paced around the living room, his phone lit up on the glass table at the center of the room, and he quickly picked it up.His eyes scanned the content of the text he had just received. He had hoped it was from Delaney, but he was wrong. It was from Velda.
