Gwen felt uneasy after overhearing the conversation between Dominic and his grandfather. She felt guilty for not being able to help her husband, especially when they started discussing the representative from a company Dominic hated.
“Is it Rachel?” Gwen wondered.
She heard more voices from inside the bedroom as Dominic answered his grandfather's question. He clearly had no feelings for that person anymore.
“I’ve buried those feelings alive. I just don’t want to deal with her or her family, that’s all,” Dominic said.
“Alright, I’ll send someone else from our company instead,” Grandpa replied. “Now, it’s your job to come up with an excuse if she ever asks about you.”
“Why would she ask about me? A company's representative doesn’t need the CEO's personal involvement,” Dominic added, feeling the conversation with his grandfathe
“Our business is done, so please leave my office,” Dominic ordered firmly, ignoring his grandfather’s presence.“Dom…”“Get out!!! NOW!!” Dominic shouted, his voice escalating. Rachel quickly left the room, followed by Mr. Charles.After kicking out his ex-girlfriend, Dominic collapsed into his chair. He looked frustrated, sad, and furious. He harshly rubbed his face with his right hand, pushing back his long hair that had fallen forward. Dominic’s mood was a mess; he couldn’t continue working, so he decided to step out for a bit.He distracted himself by heading to the company’s cafeteria. That morning, he ordered a black coffee without sugar. Sitting alone, he stared at his phone screen—more specifically, at a photo of his wife, a memory from their recent honeymoon.“She’s the one who will heal my wounds,” he thought.Unfortunately,
“What do you mean?” Dominic asked, frustrated. “Come on, Gwen, we’re married now, so it’s only natural that I want this.”“That’s true, but we agreed not to do it,” Gwen countered, trying to move away as her husband’s face drew closer to hers. “Please, Dominic, I’m not ready to be pregnant or have a child.”“Doing it once doesn’t mean you’ll get pregnant,” Dominic said. He continued to push for intimacy, but Gwen kept resisting, turning her head left and right to find a way to escape. However, Dominic was much stronger. His desire was at its peak; he wasn’t going to take no for an answer tonight.“Wait, we can’t do this by force,” Gwen pleaded, trying to buy time.Dominic grew impatient with her resistance. He didn’t want to hear any more refusals. His face moved even cl
"No, it’s not like that, Grandpa," Gwen said, panicking. "We act like a normal husband and wife, right?" She looked at her husband with hopeful eyes."That's right, Grandpa. Our relationship is very good, and it will get even better if we spend more time together," Dominic added. He hoped they could go on vacations more often to strengthen their bond."That's fine. I'll reward you both as long as all your work is completed. There's a lot of work we need to finish soon, and the company is opening a new branch, so we must work hard. I hope you understand that," Grandpa said."No problem, Grandpa. We'll make sure to complete all our tasks," Gwen replied.They then continued their breakfast, and afterward, the three of them parted ways to attend to their duties. Gwen quickly went up to her husband's office after saying goodbye to Dominic, who left for work. Meanwhile, Grandpa sat in the side garden
“Tomorrow night,” Gwen whispered.“Tomorrow night?” Dominic repeated his wife's words. “Say that again, I didn't hear it wrong, right? It’s tomorrow night, right?”“Who said tomorrow night? You misheard,” Gwen lied, trying to retract her words. But Dominic wasn't that easily fooled; he kept pressing her to confirm their plans for that evening.“Alright, darling, since you mentioned the day after tomorrow, make sure you're ready to pick up our child that night. Don’t even think about avoiding it,” Dominic said as he moved away from his wife and headed into the bathroom.Now Gwen was left alone, cursing herself. “I should have said next week instead of the day after tomorrow,” she muttered. The beautiful woman buried her face in a pillow, wishing she could take back her words, but it was too late.G
"My reason for not waiting for you in the room before we left is that I thought if I stayed there, we might not end up leaving at all, and I'm really hungry," Gwen replied.A smile spread across the handsome man's face; he knew what his wife was implying. "So, you think I would have done something to you?""Maybe. Just look at your expression right now. If we keep talking like this, I can guarantee we won't be going anywhere. Our plans will be ruined," Gwen teased, making her husband smile."Alright then, let's head out now," Dominic said as he took Gwen's hand and led her to the car. The engine roared back to life, and soon they were slowly pulling out of the driveway of their large, luxurious home, merging with other vehicles heading towards the city center, specifically to a shopping mall.On their way to the mall, they discussed the vacation promised by Dominic's grandfather. Dominic wanted to tr
"I’ve already told you, I don’t want you having a child with another woman," Gwen stated firmly."Alright then," Dominic replied. He gently tugged at the collar of his wife’s shirt, tracing a line down her slender neck, causing Gwen to tilt her head back. A few of her buttons slowly came undone, and Dominic’s thin lips were just about to reach her chest. "Shall we continue, or stop here?" Dominic asked again. "If we continue, I’m not stopping, no matter what happens.""Continue."Dominic laid his wife down on the bed, resuming his attention on her chest, making Gwen squirm beneath him. Gwen moaned in response to her husband’s actions, and knowing she was enjoying it made Dominic even more eager.Now, their bodies were free from any barriers. Dominic couldn’t help but admire the stunning beauty beneath him, as his wife surrendered to the pleasure he was giving
"Because I just took a shower, Dominic!” Gwen responded with an annoyed expression. “And now you’ve gotten me all wet again, and I’ll have to shower once more.”Dominic, who had been worried about his wife, now felt irritated that her panic was over something so trivial. To get back at her, he pulled her into the pool once more. Gwen didn’t just sit back; she retaliated, and soon enough, they were splashing around like children, playfully fighting in the pool.After they had tired themselves out from their playful battle, they finally swam to the edge to rest. Dominic complained about being hungry, so Gwen went into the house to fetch breakfast for him. They continued eating by the pool, gazing up at the clear blue sky.“What do you want to do after this?” Gwen asked her husband.“Let’s head home,” Dominic replied quickly. “Why? Did you want to go somewhere else?&rdqu
Gwen glanced back and forth between her husband and his grandfather, sensing that the two of them were hiding something. “Who is she?” she asked.“A former colleague of mine,” Dominic replied briefly.“Let’s head down, I’m already hungry,” added Mr. Charles, and then walked toward the elevator. As soon as her grandfather disappeared from sight, Dominic once again took Gwen’s hand, leading her down the stairs to the first floor. They walked side by side, descending step by step, but neither spoke a word. Dominic looked gloomy, making Gwen concerned about the behavior of both her husband and his grandfather.The atmosphere at the dining table was equally awkward; no one said a word. The old man was busy devouring his meal, while Dominic kept his eyes glued to his phone. “What’s going on with the two of them? Is it a business problem?” she wondered. “If so, why haven’t they told me?
