Divorced before Marriage: The Forbidden Affair Chapter 43
"It is a business date, Blaine! You are getting paranoid!" Delaney was losing her patience.Since she got this job, Blaine had become increasingly overprotective and insecure. It got worse when he visited her office and saw that she shared the same space with her boss.He complained about her dresses, makeup, hair-do, everything. Gosh! It was no longer funny."Look, babe. I don't trust your boss. He definitely has an eye for you, trust me." Blaine tried explaining. "Why would he get you a dress and such expensive earrings? Why is he being so nice to you?""Blaine...""He is a man, Delaney. He likes you.""Blaine. Not every man has an eye for me! Come on. You have to grow up. It's becoming frustrating.""Why did he get such a short, skimpy dress for you? What is he up to? Huh?" He walked towards the dressing table where she sat, his frustration and anger already getting the best of him. "Answer me, Delaney!" His tone was firm, but he tried to keep his voice as low as possible.Delaney

The cozy restaurant was beautiful. Probably more beautiful than anything she'd ever seen. They served really good meals there, and Delaney wished she could devour her meal just as she'd have wanted to, but she couldn't, for obvious reasons - Kaiden. She felt Kaiden's heavy stare on her the entire time, which made her feel uncomfortable. The meeting was quite boring to her. She wasn't really adding to the discussions going on. She just sat there, almost like a decoration. "Delaney?" Kaiden's voice brought her out of her thoughts, "The documents," He asked. "Oh, here is it, sir." Finally, she felt useful. She handed the documents over to Kaiden, which meant the meeting was almost coming to an end. 'Thank Goodness.' She couldn't wait to leave. She might just take a taxi or something. She couldn't bear the thought of enduring Kaiden's heavy gaze on her all the way home. A few minutes later, the men were shaking hands and laughing at nothing in particular. Great. Finally. She heaved

The sleek luxury car came to a stop just a block away from the small house which stood in between two tall buildings. The tinted glasses added more privacy to the beauty of the car. "My patience is running thin, Dela. I do not want to do anything that'll get you upset. That's the only reason I've been waiting for your willingness." "I know, Adonis. I need a little more time, okay?" "How much longer? I am dying to make you fully mine, Dela. The thought of you being with another man is killing me." He explained in a subtle voice. "Does he still touch you? Do you let him?" He asked possessively. "No, I don't let him.""You belong to me, Delaney. I can't stand any other man touching you. It'd kill me." He caressed her cheek. "I'll wait. I'll give you more time." He kissed her lips. She smiled at him. "Good night, Adonis.""Good night, my sweet Dela." He stared into her beautiful green eyes, "I love you so much. I really do." He kissed her one more time before she stepped out of the c

"Come here, darling. Come here." Tiffany embraced Delaney, who was sobbing uncontrollably. "God, I never imagined you went through so much." She wiped off a tear from her eyes.Delaney's story was so touching. She'd never wish for all that upon anyone, not even her enemy."You are such a strong woman, Delaney. I admire you. You are stronger than you think.""Thank you, Tiff." She said, drawing in a deep breath. "I know I'll be fine eventually. I just need time.""I know, honey. You'll be fine." She patted her shoulder. "We aren't so different, after all. We are both in complicated relationships.""Really? What happened?" Delaney asked, wiping her teary face."Nothing much. I thought I finally found the man for me when I met him. He was everything a woman could ever ask for. But, life happened." She smiled. "His family asked him to marry someone else... Of course, for the growth of their company.""I'm so sorry to hear that, Tiff.""It's okay. I'll be fine. I know I have been selfish a

The coldness of the water trickling down her bare body felt like all she needed at that moment. Lost in her thoughts, she reminisced on the entire event of the day.Tiffany was indeed a lifesaver. She had dished out some excellent advice on how these pressing situations could be handled.Delaney heaved a sigh of relief and satisfaction as she felt refreshed and ready to sleep. They had a busy day. They talked, ate, tried out new makeup, and had fun... It was all worth it.Tiffany had advised her to save up and get herself an apartment. At first, she suggested talking to Adonis about getting Delaney an apartment, but Delaney refused. She doesn't feel comfortable asking for financial support from a man, no matter what. Plus, she thought it might seem embarrassing to ask Adonis for such.She hated being seen as a liability. She loved the second suggestion Tiffany had given to her, and that was the best way to handle things right now. All she needed was to tarry a little longer here, save

It was a typical Monday morning for Adonis as he busied himself with the pile of paperwork on his table when his phone rang, causing him to stop.He glanced at the caller and stared with mixed emotion - Delaney. He abandoned all he was doing and answered the call."Dela..." He called."Adonis." There was an awkward silence before she went on to speak. "I'm sorry, I missed your calls last night." She spoke softly."Was something wrong?" He asked in his usual cold voice. Delaney could tell he wasn't happy."No, Adonis. Nothing was wrong. I just... I went to bed quite early last night." She explained."I see." He paused briefly before adding. "And you are sure about that?""Of course I am. Is something wrong?" She was curious and nervous at the same time."Why did you lie to me, Dela?" His icy tone held no warmth."What are you talking about, Adonis?""I asked if Blaine still made advances at you, and you denied it. Why?" He was extremely angry but did so well to keep his emotions in che

Her presence exuded an aura of intelligence, making her all the more admirable.She was pretty outspoken, and Adonis was naturally drawn to such women."Thank you, sir."

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 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

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.

"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.
