Things were falling apart for Calvin. Some of the investors were no longer picking up his calls. He had taken to hunting them down where they were. The first night, he had found himself at a club. KJ had been kind enough to accompany him. But he had stuffed himself with so much drink to keep from falling asleep only to end up passing out. He was neglecting his wife, but he had to fix this before Saturday, the movie premiere.
The second night, he had to be at some other club. On the bright side, it was paying off. For the first time this week, he would be sleeping at home. It was a few minutes past 12 am. Fuck. He thought he had time. KJ had been kind enough to allow him crash at his place after his time in the club. Everyone was on board now. The premiere was holding as planned, and he was convinced of their support.
Seeing the time and all the missed texts and calls from his wife over the week made Calvin’s heart ache. He hadn’t read most of them. Each tim
Calvin was losing his mind. His assistant, Destinee was still acting weird and his wife hadn’t replied any of the texts he sent her. His texts asking if the meeting with Lance went fine had gone unanswered. He looked up when someone knocked on the door.“Come in.”Destinee entered with a thick file. They had moved to the new office. For now, she was sharing an office with Ivana. That wasn’t the plan, but he hadn’t found the right time to tell her about his decision to keep her at Tech Valley. He needed someone to keep watch there while he started his own company.“The file you asked for is here,” she started. “Sir.”“Thank you,” he told her. Destinee nodded, about to leave when he called out to her. “Miss Layne.”“Sir?”“What’s going on?”“Nothing, sir.”“Don’t give me that, Miss
Hana woke up in her husband’s arms. But it wasn’t the only thing that startled her. His cock poking her ass. It had happened when they were in the dining, and she had almost asked him to fuck her. When she finally got the courage to request, he didn’t oblige her.Being here didn’t mean Hana had fully forgiven her husband. After her unexpected breakdown in the bathroom and he came in to offer comfort, her resolve had weakened. On a forgiveness scale of 1-10, he was on 6.Kyle sighed behind her, nestling his head in her shoulder as his cock caressed her ass. Her thighs trembled from remembering how good her husband could make her feel. Her period was close, so she was unusually horny. If they fucked while they weren’t on good terms, why couldn’t they fuck when they were trying to fix their relationship?Hana twisted in Kyle’s arms, only to see he was awake and watching her. She tried to break off the hug,
The premiere was a success. Calvin glanced at his wife a few times as they sauntered to their car with her walking ahead like she wanted to hide away from the public. He couldn’t blame her. Angel had been an epitome of magnificence. He hadn’t read the series but had received a summarised version of it, so he would be ready for any questions since they didn’t entirely follow the same plot as the first book in the series.Not all scenes were brought to life in the first season. Doing so would have cost them more money, so they had picked the more important ones and they added a few scenes of theirs.Angel had been at Calvin’s side throughout the red carpet and even during the movie. A selected few had been in the Kenna Prime cinema to watch the first episode of the new KP original series. It was mostly the investors, members of the cast, his family, and a few important guests. When some of the guests had asked questions about the book
Hana moaned in her sleep. Something was touching her ass, but she was enjoying her dream so well she didn’t want to wake up. In her dream, she and her husband were reconciled and happy. They were fucking, and she didn’t want to wake up to their sad reality where she hadn’t forgiven him.“Baby, wake up,” someone growled into her ear. Cold hit her, and she shivered. Tearing her eyes open, she frowned at her husband. He didn’t look fazed by her glare. “Good morning, princess. You sleep well?”Hana looked down to see she was naked, and so was her husband. It all came rushing down at him, the sex in the car, the sex in the shower. She grinned at him, claiming his lips before he could say anything else. It must be the sex that was making her this emotional. She no longer wanted to hold grudges. They could sort everything out.“Hey, baby,” she said when she finally broke free from him. Kyle tried to cove
Calvin was afraid to ruin the moment. But it would be worse if Angel found out herself. He had to tell her now or it might be too late. She wiggled and pulled away from him, so she could look at him from the other end of the couch. She folded her legs, taking the blanket with her. He didn’t mind. The cold was the least thing for him to worry about. It was the second week of September, and the weather was growing colder.“Don’t get mad at me, alright?” he said.“You’re freaking me out,” Angel replied.“Remember at KP when you overheard me and KJ talking?” he continued. She nodded, and he moved close. “When we were talking about my past? And then we saw Lance when we returned back to the building.”“Yes.”“I had a wild past. We already discussed this,” he said. She nodded. He knew he was stalling, but he wanted to soften the blo
Hana woke up in her husband’s arms. She knew when he broke down the pillow walls. She was acutely aware of his arms sneaking around her waist to pull her into a hug. What she didn’t understand was this need to be with him even after he hurt her. Trying to sleep on their matrimonial bed was tough. It felt like she had cut off a piece of herself, so she had come to find him at night.Today was Monday, and it signified many things. Her first day of work, that was if she still wanted to go ahead with it. She would, mostly because they had talked about it so often, and it was time to make a decision.Hana’s husband was still asleep when she peeled herself off him. He whined but didn’t wake up. She was almost at the door when she heard a voice. A very sleepy voice.“Princess?”Without opening the door, she turned to him, her hand still locked around the knob.“Yes?”“You’re le
Working with Kyle was simpler than Hana expected. A bit awkward since they had to share one desk, and she had to evade his gaze so many times. Asides the anxiety, it was fairly okay. He had introduced her to Ivana, his assistant. For now, they agreed not to let anyone know she was the author of A Dragon’s Kiss. But now, she knew who played a role in ADK success. Ivana had managed it until Lance picked it up.Though she was a tad disappointed it wasn’t all luck and her efforts, she still felt loved by her husband. Before he knew who she was, he believed in her. The reminder brought a smile to her lips. She could feel his gaze on her but managed to keep her head down. This was one thing they had spent most of the morning doing. He was busy on his laptop, answering emails. A few times she would raise her head to see he was already watching and smiling at her.Since she came, she hadn’t done much. So far, Ivana had reported about the status of the d
Calvin knew he did great with the surprise visit to the cafe shop. It had been harder than he expected to locate this place. The information he had to go on was the few details Angel had told him subconsciously. Something about a Leah who loved her and would always let her stay in her shop to write.The few times he asked about Leah, Angel would relate it to that night they met and freeze. He never pried too much, so she wouldn’t suspect. It wasn’t a bribe, but after the movie premiered, he had put more effort into finding it. Thankfully, he was able to.Angel snuggled closer to him. She still had the smile from when he gave her the sharpie so she could sign her book for Leah. The woman had looked too pleased, so pleased she had asked him to take a few pictures of her, Angel and Gerard with the couple holding the book. He would have brought two if he knew about Gerard early.It had been a while since his wife directed this pure smile to h
