“Taina” Nek screams, pulling me out of my slumber; he has a terrified look on his face, he’s on his knees beside the bathtub and it looks like he’s been here for a while.

My eyes flash open; Nek still nudging me and he still has that worried look on his face despite the fact that I’m awake. “Did you lose consciousness again?” he asks anxiously waiting for my response

I remain silent, not purposely but because it takes me some time to collect myself before my brain realizes what is going on; I usually get confused when I’m woken up in a frenzy.

I finally realize what’s going on; I’m in the bathtub and I’m completely naked, I’m grateful for the bubbles cause it covers my body and it makes me feel a little bit at ease. “I just slept off; no need to call the doctor” I finally reply, as I notice him trying to dial a number.

He doesn’t completely believe me but puts his phone away, “how could you have slept off in the bathtub, I thought something really bad had happened to you. You really

    Nek POVTo simply put it; I’m mad at Taina, I hid my emotions really well, after all we are not married for love, we are not a real couple so I don’t have the right to be upset about her meeting up with another guy. She isn’t feeling well, she can’t even stand properly on her own; I had to carry her out of the bathroom, but yet she wants to go and meet up with another guy.I know she says they're just friends; but I know it’s always more than friendship, she might only see the guy as a friend, but I’m sure the guy definitely sees her more than a friend. There’s no way he wouldn’t like her; with her bubbly personality coupled with her beautiful features, I wouldn’t blame anyone for liking her.I don’t know where my feelings for Taina stand but there’s one thing I know, she is mine. And no matter how hard I try to shake that thought, it’s still stuck with me. I know she’s trying to keep a distance between the both of us; the entire time I was with her in the room, she was trying to get

    Taina POVNek has headed out; one of the maids come to inform me of his departure, every 30 minutes she’s been checking on me, this must have been Nek’s doing. I don’t have the energy to drive so I ask Nek if his driver can take me out; he agrees, I’m not sure which car I’d be using. The Benz is still at home, but according to my rule, I’m not asupposed to use it until 3 months have passed.My other car is yet to arrive, so my only means of transportation is the Benz; I’m sure Nek wouldn’t mind if I drive since my other car hasn’t arrived yet. I call up the security and ask to speak with the driver, “hello; I’ll be heading out by 6:30pm; please be ready at that time” I instruct the driver and then end the call.I have 2 hours left till it’s 6:30, I need to seem okay when I meet Cete or he’ll be too worried about me, I’m feeling a lot better now but when I walk I sway a little and get tired.

    “So I can’t take your jacket anymore” I playfully pout, as I tightly wrap the scarf around my neck. “Thankfully” he chuckles, he checks the time on his watch, “I think we should start going if we don’t want to be late”I check the time and I realize what he means; I grab my things and follow him, we walk towards his car, with him opening the door for me as I enter th car. Cete is such a wonderful friend; and I really want him to get married to a woman who’d love and respect him, I know he’d treat her well. But in recent years he’s remained single and every time I approach the subject he just makes light of it. Cete drives to the movie theater, “is this a new car scent” the car smells different than usual, or maybe it’s just because I’ve not been in his car for a while. We need to go out more often I think to myself.“I can’t believe you noticed, how do you notice such things?”, he loooks at me with a suprised and intrigued look; I shrug, “I don’t know; but I think I’ll notice such th

    Cete drives us back to the coffee shop; I keep drifting asleep, today has been a very tiring but fun day. “Taina…Taina”, “Yeah” I sleepily say I try to get more comfortable, “we’re here” Cete says, softly tapping me.“Ohh” my eyes slowly opens as I take in my environment, I close my eyes one more time and stretch before finally opening my eyes again. I’m partially awake, but I can’t stay in Cete’s car all night; “thanks, what time is it?”, I glance at him, he picks his phone and checks, “it’s 11:pm” All signs of sleepiness immediately disappears; “did you say 11pm” I’m inwardly hoping I heard wrong, “yeah” he says confirming it. “Oh no” I say out loud, Nek is going to be so angry; I’m supposed to be home by 9pm, and the fact that I went out with a guy makes matters worse, he’s going to accuse me of soiling his reputation. “What do I do now” my face is in between my palms as I’m thinking of ways to get out of this hole I dug for myself.Cete looks disturbed by my outburst, “are you go

    “Random guys?”, I quietly say, with my head held down, not wanting to show the tears streaming down my face. I can’t remember the last time I cried; especially in front of someone else, but I feel so frustrated. “The only guy I hang out with is Cete” I say still quietly sobbing, hoping he doesn’t realize I’m crying. “What about the guy you were hanging out with at the business event”, my mind tries to remember which guy he could be talking about, the only guy I talked to was Der.Oh Der, does he think we have something, “we’re just friends”, trying to justify myself, “that’s what I expected you to say; but have you ever thought how that makes me look” he coldly says.“It makes me look stupid” he gets up and walks past me, my body starts shaking and tears starts to build up in my eyes, I slowly bend down. And seeing no reason to hide them anymore I start crying; I feel so confused and tired.My mind feels blank and the only thing that I can do is to cry, what did I do so wrong; I mean

I drove home immediately after, getting home at 8:30pm; I thought that Taina would be at home, I asked the security men but I was informed she hadn’t come back.Seeing it was still 8:30pm, I entered my office and decided to finish some pending work that I had left unfinished due to my sudden exit from the house. When I had finished my work, I realized the time was 10pm; she wasn’t back home yet and it’s already past 9pm.Our initial agreement was that both parties had to be back home by 9pm; and to make things more upsetting, she’s out with Cete, who she considers just a friend. Not saying I’m jealous but I’ve seen how that guy looks at her and I can tell he sees her more than a friend.I have the urge to call her up but I resist; not wanting to seem controlling or intrusive after all she had a life before she agreed to marry me, irregardless of how much I don’t like it.

    Taina POVToday feels like it’s going to be a long day; aside the fact that I have to go to work today, I also have to deal with gossip and rumors of Nek and I's marriage. Luckily for Nek, he can just ignore it all and no one would question him; after all he is the boss.But I’m an employee and other employees would want to get the full gist; if I could, I would avoid them, but how long do I want to keep dodging them. I can only avoid them for so long before I have to face them.Asides from all this, today is the meeting with my parents; Nek is finally going to meet my family, and I’m sure it’s not the way he imagined it. I’m trying to not stress too much about it; so I’m trying not to think about it until we meet them.I wear my slippers and walk towards the bathroom; as much as I don’t feel like work today, duty calls. I brush my teeth and take a shower; while mentally planning my day. I plan to close work by 5pm today so that Nek and I can meet my parents.Going through my wardrobe

    I step into Cete’s office, he doesn’t look up at the sound of the door opening; clearing my throat a bit loudly, I try to get his attention. He immediately looks up with a suprised look on his face at the sight of me, “what are you doing here Taina”, he stands from his seat and gives me a hug, “how was the crowd” he eyes me up and down patiently waiting for a response“Slow down”, I take a sit on the sofa and carefully pull him to sit beside me; “I sort of came to see you”, he raises his eyebrows giving a question look, “I wanted the other employees to see me, so that they can say what they had to say. So I used the excuse of coming to see you to get that done”He feigns a look of hurt at the word *using him as an excuse*, “so how did it go” referring to how the other employees took it. I sigh, “no one came up to me; people congratulated me, there was a lot of whispering and stares. But no insults were actually said to me, but you could literally see how cut the tension in the air wit

    “Taina” Nek says softly, waking me up. “Yeah” I say, sleepily rubbing my eyes.“We have arrived at our parents' place” he says. “Oh” I say, sitting up, taking into view my environment. “It’s been a while since I was here” I say, coming down from the car.He smiles, “don’t worry, we’ll see them more often” he says, holding my hands with Taek on his other side.The maid opens the door, at the sound of the doorbell. A huge smile on her face at the sight of us, “they are at the lounging room” she says, before stepping away from the door.“Thank you” we say, walking past her and towards the lounging room. “Hi everyone” I say, waving as I walk into the room. I take time to respectfully greet my parents and Nek’s parents before returning to Nek’s side.Everyone has an enthusiastic look on their face as their eyes rover on me, I’m guessing they haven’t heard the reason why they’re there.“Who are the parents of this cute little boy” mom says, as she takes Taek from Nek.I smile, “it’s ours”

    The months that went by were fun, full of love and laughter. Nek showed up everyday without missing a single day, bearing flowers and gifts each time he came.He was always with Taek, almost as if he was trying to make up for lost time, which is completely understandable.Taek’s clocked one and Nek threw a massive birthday party for him, inviting my friends in Yuhic. I had wished that my family and friends in Yula would be able to make it but Nek explained that it wouldn't be a nice way to reveal the existence of our child, they’d be happy for us but also hurt and confused. So we decided to wait until we returned to Yula.Nek proposed to me at the end of the party, signifying that it’s a new start in our marriage and I gladly accepted as he’s the only man I want to be married to.Three months later“Are we going straight to your parents' place?” I ask, with Taek in my arms as we alight the plane. Nek takes Taek from me, noticing that I look uneasy, “are you okay?” He asks.I nod, “I’m

    I smile, “I love you too but you have to work for it. I forgiven you but I need to know that I can trust you. I need to know that the situation with Juris will never repeat itself again whether with Juris or with any other lady”.He nods, “I understand and I promise to put in the work”I smile, “you have to”. He nods, “can I ask a question?” He asks, looking a bit uneasy. I nod, “you can ask me anything”. He smiles, “who’s the guy that I met at the Excellence, is he your boyfriend?”I chuckle, “you mean David. David isn’t my boyfriend, he’s just a very good friend and besides, I wouldn’t let you kiss me if I had a boyfriend that’ll be cheating. And in the same manner, I can’t have a boyfriend if I’m married to you, if I do so, that’d be cheating”A look of relief washes over his face, “wait.. so that means… that means” he says, gently holding me by the shoulders.“What?” I ask, looking into his eyes. “Does that mean the child is mine, the little boy I greeted is our son” he asks, a s

    After a while, he stands to his feet and walks to his desk, pulling out a pile of tissue from its box. He gently dabs his eyes and blows his nose into the tissue, backing away from me so I can’t see him.The room remains silent, only the sound of his sobs filling the room. My heart goes out to him as I watch him cry, I want to walk over to him and embrace him in a hug telling him it’s okay and that I’ve forgiven him, but my legs don’t move as I remain fixed to my seat while I watch him dab his eyes.“I’m sorry” he chuckles, returning to the seat, “I guess it’s just pent up emotions for the past one year”. I smile, “it’s fine”.He shakes his head, “no it’s not, I chose my ex over our marriage, our relationship, our family. I literally embarrassed you in front of the staff and others by not upholding your honour”.He sniffles, “for the past nine months, I’ve been planning to see you. I wanted to apologise for my mistakes”“Two months with Juris revealed who she truly is, she is a gold d

    I walk into The Excellence, taking the first stairs, turning right; my heels clicking behind me. How I knew his office was not really a big deal, to others maybe, but to me no.I had taken a chance, The Excellence in Yuhic is built almost exactly like the one in Yula with few structural changes to fit in with the culture in Yuhic.I based off my judgment on that information, the worst that could go wrong is that I got lost and if that happened, I’d just call for help.My actions bring my movements to a halt as I stop at a door, there’s no plaque specifying what the room is, just like the one in Yula. Unlike the others which have a Plaque attached to this door, this one doesn’t. Nek didn’t want people to know he had an office here or that he was around, he said it caused too many unnecessary visits. And to be honest, I completely agree with the concept.I take a deep breath, pulling myself together before knocking on the door.“Please come in” I hear a voice on the other side of the r

    “Dear Taina BellosTrust this email meets you well. I’m writing to you, because I need to see you and sort out some facts that tie me to my past. I’d personally go over to your home, but we are not as close as we used to and I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t like that. I’d love it if we could meet at the Excellence hotel, in my office this evening at 4pm. My secretary will guide you at my arrival.P.S. I know it’s old fashioned to send you an email, but I don’t have your new number and I figured you’d still be using your old email.Warm RegardsNek Bellos”My heart flutters as I read the email. I've read the message over four times but every time I see the name Bellos attached to my name, I just can’t help but feel butterflies.The first thing I did after receiving the email, was to save it to my computer; just in case he rethinks his actions and retracts the mail.“Dear Taina Bellos” I mutter under my breath, reading the email once again. The feeling of giddiness overwhelming me as I re

    Taina’s POVI’ve been a nervous wreck for the past few days, I’ve anxiously been waiting for Nek’s call or from his secretary. Not that I wanted to receive a call, I assumed he’d want to know if the child is his, after all Taek bears a striking resemblance to Nek.I haven't had a single call, not even a text message. My heart feels less constricted and I can finally stop thinking about my next line of defence. I feel relieved but deep down in my heart, I’m a little anxious and worried that Nek could ask about Taek in the future. But I can’t live my life in worry, so I’ve decided to let things pan out; but one thing is sure, I’m not returning to The Excellence, especially not with Taek.“Good morning Taina” Isabella says, walking into the kitchen. “Good morning Isabella, how was your weekend?” I ask, a smile on my face as I embrace her in a hug.She smiles, “it was good, but I wish I didn’t miss the dinner at the Excellence with you all”. I nod, “well luckily, we’ll be doing it again

    Nek’s POV“Good evening sir” Clinton says, walking into my office, who is the manager of The Excellence located in Yuhic.“Good evening Clinton, how may I help you?” I ask, closing my laptop, and focusing my full attention on him. “Sorry to disturb you sir, but I wanted to inform you that your wife, Mrs Taina Bellos is currently at the restaurant”.My eyes instantly light up, “wife?” I ask, standing to my feet. He nods, “yes, your wife. She actually came some time ago”.I slowly nod, “and how do you know this person is actually my wife?” I ask, resting against my desk. “I’ve seen pictures of her in newspapers and in tabloids, so I could tell straight away that she was Mrs Bellos” he says.I smile, “alright, thank you for informing me. I’ll be downstairs in some minutes time” I say, fully believing that he knows Taina. He nods, “you’re welcome sir, I’ll be going now” he says, walking out of the office.My mind races as I think of Taina, my wife; the one that holds my heart. I slump int

    I gently shut the door to my room, with Taek sleeping soundly inside. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for so long” I say, walking into the lounge room.David smiles, “I don’t mind, is he sleeping now?” He asks. I nod, “he’s sleeping soundly, the crying in the car must have worn him out”.He nods, “to be honest I’ve never seen Taek cry like that, he’s usually a quiet baby so I was shocked to see him cry so loudly”. I nod, thinking the same thing; could it be that being separated from his father upset him.“He probably was just tired, making him extra cranky. And the broccoli situation didn’t help matters” I chuckle, in an attempt to calm the mood.He smiles, “maybe”.“So what do you want to know, you can ask me anything?” I say, sitting on the sofa. David nods, he looks deep in thought, almost like he is carefully constructing his questions.“Is Nek really your husband?” He asks, breaking the silence. I nod, “he is, he has no reason to lie about that. Nek is my husband and he’s Taek
