Divorced before Marriage: The Forbidden Affair Chapter 54
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

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

"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

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

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

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
Divorced before Marriage: The Forbidden Affair Chapter 1
Chapter 1 The quietness of the morning was no strange feeling at all, as it had become a usual part of Delaney's everyday life. It was a lifestyle she had gotten used to, and she'd accepted it wholeheartedly. Truth is, she might never be able to get used to a normal, happy life. But at least, it's better than the hell and torment she called a life that she used to have while growing up. Between two torments, she’d chosen the lesser one. Delaney Duncan busied herself with her usual chores that morning as she prepared breakfast for her fiance, Blaine. Her delicate hands expertly arranged the table with so much love and care as she tried to maintain the smile she'd forced on her face. "How long does it take to prepare a simple breakfast?" The cold voice of the man she so desperately loved filtered the air. "Good morning, love," Delaney's tender voice greeted in her usual cheerful manner after taking in a deep breath to calm her nervous self. Blaine totally ignored her greetings and
Divorced before Marriage: The Forbidden Affair Chapter 2
Three years ago, Adonis had to attend an important business course in Illinois. He never believed in love at that time. He viewed love as a trivial pursuit. He was content to indulge in the countless women who fawned over him, eager for his affection, and he had a whole lot of them at his beck and call. He had the right tool to make any woman drool and beg him for more pleasurable experiences. A one-time pleasure with Adonis was never an option for most women. He was a sex god. With his expertise in bedmatics, Adonis effortlessly drives women crazy, but he's never seen or imagined any woman who can ever drive him crazy or make him lose his control. NEVER. Just a few days to the end of his course, fate interfered, bringing him face to face with a stunning young woman in her very early twenties. She seemed drunk and stranded in the late hours of the night, so he decided to give her a ride home. His intentions were pure. He had desperately tried getting her details, or at least her h

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.
