Divorced before Marriage: The Forbidden Affair Chapter 28
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

Adonis's face gave her a scare, and she knew she shouldn't have wandered around."Delaney, you shouldn't have..." He snatched the photo from her and shoved it back into the shelve. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her over to the bed. "Just sit here. Don't go wandering around," his voice was icy, and His eyes possessed a chilling iciness that sent a shiver through her."Adonis... I am sorry..." She tried saying, but he cut her off immediately. "Stop being sorry and admit you'd do the right thing!" His voice was stern. Anger was evident in his voice. Delaney trembled, causing her to jolt in fear. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she stared at him unbelievably. She covered her mouth with her palm, suppressing a gasp. At that point, realization dawned on him. He didn't mean to yell at her. "Delaney, I'm sorry...""No, it's fine." She stood up, avoiding eye contact with him. "I have to go," she walked quickly to the door before he said another word.Luckily for her, the door wasn't

"I am so exhausted, Blaine. You have to stop. I have a long day at work tomorrow." Delaney mumbled, pulling away from him.He let out a frustrated sigh. "Come on, babe," he held her back. "Haven't you punished me enough? I am truly sorry. Please."Blaine had been trying all he could for the past few weeks, but the harder he tried, the more he lost her."The distance between us has become unbearable. I am sorry for everything, Delaney," His voice bore sadness and remorse. "I thought getting your forgiveness would be a question of how. I never knew it was a question of weather. I never thought there was going to be a WHAT IF in the picture. Delaney?"His words pierced her like a thousand spears. "Blaine, I just need a little more time. I promise," She moved closer to him, cupping his face. "Please."Now she questioned her feelings for him. It seemed the only thing she felt for him was pity and sympathy. It was no longer love."Give me one more chance, and I promise not to ruin it; I swe

"Thank you, Doctor. This is great news." Velda smiled, collecting the result from him."I'll let your husband know this at once," The middle-aged Doctor announced, retaining his smile."No!" Velda interrupted impulsively, "I'd do that myself."The Doctor's brows furrowed in surprise and confusion at her actions and behavior, but she quickly explained it away. "I'd like for it to be a surprise." she lied. "Very well, then. Congratulations, once again." He turned around and left. Velda's drumming heart echoed in the four walls of the room she was in. She clutched the paper in her hand as she fought hard to prevent the tears that welled in her eyes. She immediately brought out her phone and dialed Blaine's number, but he seemed to have blocked her from reaching him. Her hand trembled while she hurriedly exited the bed she was lying on. She couldn't let Zane meet her here; else, she'd be forced to spill the news to him. She quickly called for a cab, and as soon as she was out of the

"This way, sir, " The blonde lady smiled, ushering Blaine through the corridor.Blaine walked skeptically behind the lady as she swayed her hips in front of him, ushering him further into the corridor that led to Delaney's office.He wasn't sure about this. He wasn't so confident about the move he decided to make, but he just had to. He'd been feeling so uneasy for some days now, almost as if he was losing Delaney already. It breaks him each time he thinks about it.He knew he'd messed up, and all he had done to her all these years was enough to make her hate him, but he only wished for one thing - just a chance to show her how much of a changed person he was. He thought to do all he could to achieve that.They got to the entrance of a place that seemed like Delaney's office. The mahogany door was shut, and the blonde lady had to adjust herself before knocking, almost as if she was making sure she didn't displease someone.He was surprised. 'wasn't this supposed to be Delaney's office

Blaine walked down the hallway of the restroom into the fancy restaurant. His gaze fell on Delaney, but he slowed down in his pace.The expression on her face got him worried. She held a phone to her ear, and she seemed to be in shock. When he looked closer, he saw that it was his phone she had placed on her ear."Fuck!" he mumbled as he hurried towards her, collecting the phone from her with one swift motion."Why did you... Who was it?" His eyes flicked, quickly darting to the phone's screen. His attention was drawn to the name on the phone's screen. 'Velda.'A sharp thud resounded in his heart. "Oh, Velda." He tried to regain his cool and composure."Yes... Velda." She responded, studying his unsettling expression. She expected an explanation from him."What problem was Velda talking about?" Noticing his lack of response, she continued with her questioning. He retreated to his seat and swiftly downed the entire glass of water, purposefully avoiding any direct eye contact with her.

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.
