Layla paused,thinking about her options.She murmured, "I want to! I want a divorce but I can't accept this. I've spent so many years with him and yet I can't compete with that despicable bitch."Daphne let out a sigh.She stayed with her friend until it was evening and by now,Layla drank herself to stupor.Daphne had to call Fred and requested that he come to pick up Layla.However, to her surprise, even though Fred answered the call, he showed no willingness to come get Layla.“While you guys are yet to sort out your problem and you’re still cheating on her,she’s still your wife and you should come get her.”Daphne pressed.In a defensive tone, he retorted, "Daphne, it's none of your concern! Yes, I’m cheating on Layla but do you honestly believe she's without fault? Who can tolerate her unbearable temper?"Daphne felt a surge of anger within her.She responded icily, "If you can't bear it, then file for a divorce!Not that cheating is right in any way, but did you seriously have to st
Owen let out a sad sigh.”Unfortunately, that intermediary was involved in a car accident two days ago and is comatose at the moment. I fear the possibility of him being left in a vegetative state for a while. If that were to occur, I might never reunite with Grace and my daughter."Griffin took a deep breath, his focus momentarily shifting.In response, Daphne let out a sigh and removed her hand from her mouth,her eyes were fixed on him.And then she decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.Getting off his laps, she knelt down between his legs.Griffin eyes dilated realizing what she was about doing.Griffin had been teaching her how to touch him before he had gone on his trip.And Daphne could say she had improved.As she leaned upwards on her knees and held his dick.He quickly held her hand and whispered.“Wait.”Daphne suppressed a laughter.He clearly was having fun touching her and watching her trying not to scream.Now it was his turn.She pushed his hand away and put h
Daphne thought about the roses by her pillow in the morning, the piano, and their intimate moments.Was there perhaps another woman he was into?No.He had told her she was the only person he was seeing.Then what was it then?Did he not believe in love?She pouted knowing that if she confesses her feelings to him,it would be the end of what they both had.Quietly, she prepared a midnight snack for him, placing it in an insulated container on the table. When he was ready to leave the study, he would see it waiting for him.Sitting in the living room, Daphne checked the financial statements of the music studio. Then she took a shower, tending to her skincare routine.*********Late at night,Griffin sat in the study.He was surrounded by smoke-filled air and cigarette butts in the ashtray. As he finished his last cigarette, he crushed the box and discarded it.With his eyes feeling weary, he realized it was getting very late.Standing up, he made his way out.The living room was dim, il
Renee squinted slightly, her eyes narrowing as she observed the scene before her.She had recently learned that Griffin had a girlfriend, and that had made her come back to Chicago. She wanted to see who this woman was that had captured his heart.When Renee first laid eyes on Daphne, she couldn't help but feel that Daphne was just an ordinary woman. But it was Griffin’s reaction that intrigued her.“Griffin, won't you show me around the house?"Renee asked playfully, as if they had been good friends for many years.He quietly glanced at the spot where Daphne had stood just moments ago. After a long pause, he looked away and replied, "There are several elders who are eager to see you.”She attempted to hold his arm, but Griffin skillfully evaded her and said,”Renee, it's not appropriate.”The smile on Renee’s face disappeared, a fleeting hint of vulnerability appearing in her eyes as she softly murmured, "You were always so eager to hold me in the past."Griffin walked briskly towards
Lucia, perpetually cheerful, now felt a twinge of sadness. Worriedly, she inquired, "Are you going to break up with my brother?"Break up?Daphne smiled softly and assured her that such a thing wouldn't occur.After all, they were merely companions driven by sexual desire.Lucia watched as Daphne entered the car and then she headed back to the party clutching the gift.Upon stepping inside the house, she came face to face with Griffin."Where is Daphne?" Griffin asked as soon as he saw her.Lucia pursed her lips and replied, "Are you done dancing with your ex-girlfriend?Since you didn’t make her feel needed here,she left."Raising the box in her hand, she announced, "It's a gift from Darling Daphne.”Eager to unveil its contents, she settled onto the sofa and opened the box.Griffin contemplated leaving, but an inexplicable curiosity compelled him to see what Daphne gave Lucia.Daphne had not told him about the gift she had prepared for Lucia.As Lucia opened the box, she discovered t
Daphne was on verge of igniting her car’s engine when her phone rang out again.Picking it up,she saw that it was Griffin.Taking a deep breath,she answered it.“Hello.”Hearing her sweet voice,Griffin shut his eyes for a moment.It was only then he realized how much he had missed her.They hadn’t seen or spoken to each other for almost a week.Anytime he gets home in the evening,she was already asleep and he often leaves before she wakes up.“Where are you?”He asked,softly.“I’m heading home.”She replied.Griffin glanced at his watch and informed her.”I’ll be coming home for dinner today.Please make me something.”A few seconds of silence passed before Daphne agreed.After ending the call,she stared at the phone,sadly.She felt so many emotions at the same time and it made her feel drained.She no longer felt the excitement to cook for him and to sleep with him anymore.How can she sleep or cook for a man who loves another woman?Still,she felt love for him.A love that was one-sided.
He was still holding onto her phone when Daphne walked up to him and realized that he had seen the video.Daphne swallowed and bit out.“Please don’t be mad at Layla.She thinks we’re in a normal relationship and that is why she sent me the video.”Griffin placed her phone down.“You’re always concerned about others.Why don’t you focus on yourself or a change?”She eyed him.”How I live my life is none of your business!”Griffin was left speechless with how harsh she sounded.Daphne realized that she couldn’t effectively communicate with him.She cast her gaze downward and smiled,wryly.“I’m trying my best not to have a fight with you so let’s kindly drop this.”The atmosphere grew so tensed and then she added.“Eat your noodles.”As she made to leave the dining room,he grabbed hold of her hand and turned her around to face him.Griffin frowned at her.He had no appetite for the noodles anymore.He didn’t know what he was thinking or what exactly he wanted at the moment.He knew he had n
The men who had been drinking,merrily and playing cards stopped and all eyes were on Daphne.Renee was seated beside Griffin,possessively.Daphne found herself in an awkward predicament caught in the midst of it all.No one extended an invitation for her to join in.As she wasn’t the one beside Griffin tonight,no one regarded her as his girlfriend.Fred who held a grudge against Daphne took this as an opportunity to make her feel even more uncomfortable.“Daphne,why are you here?Will you be interested to play a game?”He asked.Daphne shifted her gaze towards Griffin who was sitting casually and smoking.He looked so disheveled.She had never seen him like this before.Griffin briefly glanced at Daphne and looked away,pretending not to know her.That hurt Daphne.Renee chipped in.”Fred,I’m sure Miss Howard wants to leave.Can’t you see how uncomfortable she looks?”Daphne’s fist clenched.How dare Renee mock her?Both Renee and Griffin had become a pain in a ass.They all stared at Daphn
