Kaia left the bathroom with a forced smile on her face and blended back into the crowd. There was no sign of Beau in the crowd but it was a good thing because with the anger issues she had as well, it would not end well for either of them. For the first time in her life she felt like hitting him, punching him in that beautiful face if need be. He had been very disrespectful to her, making her feel like the lowest scum of the earth. She was his wife for God’s sake, he should not be treating her like a freaking hooker or a one-night stand.She could not wait to get everyone out of her house so she could find her coward of a husband. Whether he wanted to or not, they would talk about this and sort it out, whether on their own or with a professional. She realized she should have said no to him as soon as he had pulled her dress up, made him confront whatever fucked up feelings he was going through and then maybe he could have gotten some ass after that, but only as consolation and a rewar
69Kaia and Beau had been keeping to themselves way more than they had intended, guiding each other in both their professional and personal, so much so that when Kaia finally took Luna to visit Jen and Kim, she had not expected the mess she would find Jen to be. “Jenny, what is going on?” Kaia almost panicked, especially when she did not find Kimmy in the house. What had her friend been up to, what happened to Kim and Jen’s mother who offered to be around as much as she could when Jen decided it was time to move out again.The house smelled like it had not aired out in a few days and she could smell the strong scent of cigarettes in the room, indicating that Jen had gone back to smoking after such a long battle with nicotine withdrawals. She wished she had not brought Luna and her only option right now was to open the windows to air out the whole place and let some light in. Jen was curled up in a ball on her couch, staring lifelessly at her screen, looking like she was not even seei
Kaia was slowly getting fed up by everything life was throwing her way. How was she supposed to continue healing, continue growing from her traumas as well? Was she being selfish for wanting a break from everything happening all at once? Beau and Jen had been by her side no matter what, was it fair that she was getting to a breaking point already? Kaia just wanted things back to normal again, things changing before her just made her very uncomfortable. Leon sat at the far end of the car and listened to Kaia furiously tap on her phone then a call came in, “Hi baby,” there was bit of silence on her end of the line as she listened to other person on the phone, then she snapped, “You listen Beau Navarro, and you listen good. I did not ask you if you could take time, I told you I talked to you secretary and she moved your meetings around. I am on my way to pick you up right now so you better have your laptop bag because I will go without you, trust me on that.” Man, Leon would not want to
“Why are there only two rooms Kay? You do remember Leon and I are not together any more, right?” Kaia loved Jen dearly, but times like these and questions like the one she just asked, the one that made her sound like the most childish piece of shit Kaia knew, made her so, so angry. “Girl, if you do not get out my face with that mess…” Kaia said, sounding like she had way more to say but she would rather keep it to herself. Beau stood close to his wife, always having a hand on some part of her body, just so he could calm her down because he knew for a fact, that his touch calmed her down more than any words any of them could utter. She took a deep breath, handed Leon the key then said, “You guys are adults now, I am sure sharing a room won’t kill either one of you. With the limited time I had to plan this, with this being the best hotel here, I did not want go searching for yet another room elsewhere because this is where I want to stay tonight. Sort your shit out!” Jenny felt like a
In the morning all Jen wanted to do was stay in bed, in Leon’s arms till they had to go back home but the urgent knock on their door had her bolting up and out of bed. Leon slept, not even stirring. That boy could sleep through an entire earthquake, it had never been an easy task for her to try and wake him up and she was not about to try right now, though the urgency of the knock scared her a bit. Se rushed to put the hotel robe on and ran to the door, almost tripping over the clothes they had left scattered haphazardly on the floor. “I do not know what is wrong with Kaia, she just keeps throwing up and I have tried to get her to eat something, but she will not eat anything. She begged me to come wake you, I tried to beg her in turn to let you guys sleep in…” Beau was overly panicked and Jen found it very sweet and cute. “Calm down, Mr. Navarro!” Jen chuckled and she skipped to Kaia’s room, feeling so refreshed and happy, she wondered why Kaia was feeling like crap on such a beaut
Leon and Beau felt humiliated, as they sat in the boutique, holding their women’s handbags as they did some shopping for their outfits for that night. The women working at the boutique giggled as the went about helping these rich women get many outfits, most of which they were sure they would even forget they had gotten. Their husbands were very appealing to the eye and all the girls in the store envied these women. Here, no man of seemingly such great power, would be caught dead shopping or even holding a woman’s bag. This was the dream of every young woman. “Baby, you do know Beau is much richer than me, right?” Leon joked when Jen came out in another outfit and Kaia and her just kept nodding, saying nothing. “How about I ask him to adopt me before you shop away my entire savings, huh?” That made everyone laugh, even the humorless Beau Navarro threw his head back against his seat and laughed at the look on Leon’s face. “You want me to be the hottest girl in the club, right babe?”
Last night had been the best night for Beau, having never gone clubbing even back in his varsity years. Growing up in the Navarro family had been hell enough and Beau was not in the mood at all to party like a teenager, even though he practically was one. He was also thankful that Kaia had shown no signs of being sick last night. That gratitude was short lived though because he woke up to find his wife’s side of the bed drenched in her sweat. He panicked again like he had yesterday, but today he decided not to wake Jen up. Kaia woke up with a throbbing headache and yet again, a queasy stomach, hating herself for those three glasses of cocktails she had forced down as a way to not make Beau and Jen worry about her when all she wanted was to just curl up in bed and sleep. She had felt horrible and still did. The fever attacking her body being all the evidence she needed that she needed to rest. She was not expecting to wake up with Beau starring down at her with such worry though. Th
Nothing else mattered to Beau and nothing else could ruin this perfect moment. Yes, Kaia was not feeling okay at the moment but she had no idea how happy she had just made him. He sat on his of the bed and just watched her sleep, she looked so peaceful he just wanted to cuddle even closer to her. As peaceful as she looked, Beau had a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach. That's when the dreadful call came in. "I came to your house to check on the kids and they say their nanny took Luna and left." Jen's mother seemed panicked and at the Beau wondered why. "Maybe they just took a walk," even as he said it, it did not make sense why she would take Luna and leave Kim. "What time did they leave?" "No one knows Beau, they just said one minute the nanny was there with both the girls, this was early morning, then later when Kim woke up from her nap, they noticed they were both missing. That got Beau's attention fast and he sprang up from the bed. He hoped this was not as bad as it sou
