โYou begged me to unbuckle your belt. Why? Are you imagining something else?โWhen Adira asked this while she was in front of him and on her knees, Chadwick stood there like an unmovable tree. He wanted to blame her that his mind only went on worst way because sheโs acting weird. Yet the words stuck inside his throat, they canโt just go out of his lips.Chadwick gulped hard, as if eating a thousand of pebbles. Without saying anything, he looked at the woman in front and watched her holds the belt with her delicate fingers.โIt is because,โ Adiraโs whisper words carefully slipped from her lips. โIt will be hard to remove your belt while standing. I am not going to eat you, so relax.โEat.Thatโs right.That is what Chadwick imagined. Her eating him. His what?With widened eyes and reddened cheeks, he looked back at her whoโs currently removing his belt. That made his stomach even more painful, he thinks heโll explode.โOkay. I finished unbuckling your belt hoโฆโPooooooooop!Chadwick di
May 13 of Thursday. Surely, Chadwick wonโt forget the day that his wife will cook for him for the first time.Without talking that much, the two went to the kitchen together.If only Chadwick isnโt injured, he can cook for himself. Heโs been living alone for many years so thatโs not a hard task.But for Adira to cook?That rich lady who never tastes hardship in life when it comes to financially?Chadwick heard there are many servants in the Haleโs mansion where Adira lived before.The fridge is almost empty, given that the couple donโt spend too much time inside their house.The two donโt have the time to go to the supermarket right now. So, Adira used the new service everyone is using nowadays.Using an app, she asked someone to buy the fresh ingredients real fast. With just a single click, the ingredients were delivered outside their house after some minutes.Adira brought them into the kitchen. She bought fresh clams which have natural sweets in them. Then there is also pasta, baby
Adira pulled him and locked her lips with his. He sucked his lips gently, not biting, but only sandwiching his upper.As she does, Chadwick remembered the words he heard before his wife pulled him for a kiss.[โYou seduced me first.โ]That voice penetrated inside his ears again and again. He got goosebumps. He wanted to run recklessly, away from Adira, but as soon as she extended her tongue and pressed it against the seam of his lips, his mind became a mess.It felt like his body was going to melt from pleasure, so extreme he couldnโt express it. The world he had known seems shattered into pieces, and a new one born as he realized it: the woman before him is his wife. And sheโs kissing him.Unable to contain himself, Chadwick held her waist with his left hand and pinned her close to his body as he kissed her hard.He bent her a little, giving support to her with his hand on her back and just got lost in the moment. He slowly extended his tongue to meet hers and she accepted his invitat
In the process of recovering from his small injury, the CEO of Wine&Vibe stayed home for more three days. He did not stop working, as his secretary was always asked to gather the documents and paper works which Chadwick had to check and sign.During those three days, Neil accompanied his boss from day to night. Fortunately, Chadwickโs right arm is getting better and tonight, he isnโt wearing his cast anymore. Nonetheless, Neil isnโt happy.Working as Chadwickโs assistant in his house and helping him do little chores have made him so tired; double than when they are in the office or out in the field.โI remained single for a long time but here I am, taking care of my boss just because of his injury,โ Neil complained while sitting on the couch and staring at his handsome boss, who is sitting on the single sofa.Since morning, they have been working non-stop and only paused for meals or when someone had to go to the comfort room.Neil felt so unfair.Working inside your bossโ house is the
After working so hard, Adira stretched her hands sideward with a groan. โArgh.โ Sheโs sitting in front of her desk almost all day, so her body feels so sore. Three days ago, her secretary called her to say that their schedule for the wine that they will launch has changed. And so, they had to hurry and finish finalizing the project with her team. At last, after three days working like a zombie, Adira and her team finished the project. This isn't the first time that Adira almost lived inside her office. She is so dedicated to her work that she even set up a room for her to rest. So, she basically lived at her company; slept there, took bath there, ate her meals there and rested there. Work occupied her mind and she momentarily forgot she had another home to stay in. Looking at the ceiling with aching nape, Adiraโs mind wondered here and there; what food she should eat, if she can watch N*****x movie tonight or if she can go visit her favorite bar. However suddenly, her husband'
Isa transferred the cake she bought onto a plate. โItโs ready!โ she said with a cheerful voice and shining round eyes. Chadwick stood near the table. He looked at the cake with curiosity. โI bought this from the new bakery near the orphanage,โ she shared. โWhy cake?โ he responded. โHuh?โ โWhy did you buy cake?โ โAhhhh. Because I heard from the orphanage that the kids gave her a birthday gift before she goes out.โ The orphanage gave her a gift? Chadwick displayed an accusatory frown between his forehead when he heard about this. He, the husband, failed to give his gift to his wife. But the children, whom Adira met for the first time, did not forget to show their gratitude. โI am not sure when is her exact birthday. But I think giving her a cake is good,โ Isa added. Chadwick stared at the ladyโs excited face. Then he remembered that on Adiraโs birthday, Isa came into their house, crying, and then hugged Chadwick in front of his wife. โWe hugged each other during my wifeโs bir
Geoffrey entered the staff room of the bar to change his clothes. He opened his locker and saw his reflection through the small mirror behind the lockerโs room. His hair was wet with sweat. โIt looks like I need to wash my face,โ he murmured with a smile. Replacing a carโs tire is exhausting itself, but Geoffrey had to keep his helmet on while doing the job, thatโs why he showered with sweat. Nevertheless, he doesnโt feel bad for playing the good Samaritan. With his long and soft fingers, he swept his blonde bangs upward and shut his locker with his other hand. As he closed it, his co-worker came inside. โHey there, birthday boy,โ his co-worker, Vernon, greeted him with a tap behind his back. Geoffrey nodded his head while smiling back. โHey, wazzup.โ Leaning against the locker, Vernon looked at Geoffrey with an apologetic expression on his face. โI found it a bit late that today is your birthday.โ Geoffrey chuckled while taking his shirt off. โHow did you know it by the way?โ
Geoffrey finished Adira's volleyball game. He looked at the scoreboard and saw 25-20 set number two, favored on the other team. Adiraโs team, White Eagle lost against Blue Snake team. The players from White Eagle were all crying, except for Adira whoโs eating her chips at the side while looking up the sky. โDamn. Sheโs cool,โ Geoffrey murmured while watching her from afar. Not only she is cool, but also smart, strong, pretty, and sexy. Geoffrey has no ideal type. Maybe because heโs not interested in dating. But after meeting Adira, Geoffrey found out that his ideal type is someone whose name is Adira. After the game, Geoffrey stepped a bit closer to the White Eagleโs bench. He really wanted to introduce himself to the lady whoโs been in his mind for a long time. He anticipated and waited for their next meeting, and now that it happened, he does not want to lose his chance. Therefore, the shy Geoffrey began to march closer to her along with the loud beating of his heart. โHi Adi
5 months passed. The joined project of Crimson Meadow and Wine&Vibe is a great success. Many congratulated the two CEOs who worked so hard for this project and for helping a lot of charities as one of their goals. At the end of the month, the two held a press conference. Reporters came to witness the successful joined of the famous married couple. They thought that they will only hear news about the business and how theyโll end the union. However, Chadwick and Adira came out with a big surprise for everyone. โBefore we end the conference, Adira and I would like to announce something very important.โ Gradually, the two looked at each other and smiled. Their deal is clear. After the five months when the project is over, they will reveal the truth about their divorce. And the time has come. Howeverโฆ โAdira and I decided to marry again.โ At Chadwick's words, gasp filled the hall. Tons of lights flashed, capturing each second. What does he mean by marrying Adira again? Everyone as
Chadwick went back home to house lightheartedly. Geoffrey and he fixed their relationship. Although heโs worried about Isa, Chadwick decided to meddle in her life anymore.Now, whatโs left to do is to deal with Adira.He excitedly entered the house as he heard from Neil and Hansel would come home to their house. Other than living with Adira in the same place, Chadwick thinks that his other advantage against Geoffret is that he has the support of their secretaries.โThe only hurdle is winning over my ex-wifeโs heart.โHe realized how hard it is to win a favor from someone. Even if Adira doesnโt have feelings for him when sheโs seducing him long time ago, Chadwick can tell how difficult the quest is.โMaybe, sheโs trying to get her revenge and..โHis thoughts stopped when he saw his wife standing in front of him.Sheโs really home.โYouโre quite late,โ she greeted with a smile.Being with her, his heart pounds with each breath, like a hummingbirdโs wings.โWho cares if sheโs testing me o
โDear brother, Itโs me, your stubborn sister who keeps on following you. I am writing a letter to you since you are my last family. And I am happy to have at least you by my side. Remember the first day when we saw each other? I was so captivated by your handsomeness. I thought I saw a prince. Your smiles, your shy approach and your kind attitude, they reached my heart. And maybe, that is the first time I fell in love with you. I kept this a secret for a long time, but it overflowed in a way I couldnโt control it anymore. Mistakes after mistakes. I learned that all my life, I dedicated it to you. I regretted my actions, even the words that I didnโt mean. I am sorry for wishing that. Believe me, I didnโt want our parents to die. Just like you, I was in deep pain too. But in the end, I havenโt learned. I keep on reaching for the affection that you couldnโt give. I was selfish and I hurt many people around me. I am sorry. I should have listened to you. But, itโs too late. I lost my
Third Personโs POVTwo weeks have passed.The accident that happened in the CUR8 mall has never leaked through the media. But Nocturne, who was keeping a close eye on the Crimson Meadowโs CEO has heard the accident. He planned to take his revenge, but he thinks it wonโt be good to fight against Adira anymore since she has more card to use. And so, he stopped pursuing the unbeatable leader.Many days passed by and finally, it was time for Adira to go out of the hospital. Oddly, she recovered so fast unlike other patients who underwent the same head injury. Her doctor even joked that she might be from a tiger clan since she healed so quickly.As this will be the day of her discharge, two men waited for her outside her room.Who are these two men?Basically, they are the two guys who keep going back and forth in this place for long two weeks. Hansel said that Adira would recover if they were here, since all they do is fight in front of Adira. To solve that, the guys decided to come on sep
Adiraโs POV Often, when someone has a head injury, she wonโt remember the details of the accident. What happened, how she got hurt and whoโs with her during the incident. But as soon as opened my eyes, everything came to me so vividly. I recalled how I saw the sign board above that was swaying down, when I looked at Chadwick who was standing beneath, when I ran towards his side and when I pushed him away and got hurt instead. Above all, the realization I had while running towards him came to me like a wave. It wasnโt calm, gentle, or destructive. Justโฆ something I expected ever since I admitted that it might be possible to fall in love. I blinked my eyes slowly while looking at the white ceiling above the hospital room. Back then, I really thought I saw the underworld. But it really seems that someone like me was blessed with long life. As I was inwardly about to laugh, a voice called me. โA-Adira?โ My numb body, which did not move for long hours, tingled as I turned my head t
Since it hasnโt been announced yet that Chadwick and Adira arenโt a married couple anymore, Chadwick still has the right to play as her husband. And so, he and Falcon took turns watching Adira and waiting for her to wake up. Itโs almost been two days already, yet Adira hasnโt woken up. As Chadwick watched her sleep, a faint sad smile drew on his lips. โYou are sleeping for too long,โ he whispered. โI wanted to tell you a lot about your father.โ How Falcon almost collapsed, when he watched over her daughter without sleeping and when he was caught crying while praying for her fast recovery, Chadwick wanted to tell all of this to Adira once she woke up. All past years, Adira believed that her father did not have any affection for her. On which, Chadwick will testify as lies. Falcon loves her daughter, more than anyone in the world. Staring at Adira, Chadwick remembered last night when he and Falcon had a conversation while looking over Adira. โMy world collapsed,โ Falcon said while
The adrenaline that Geoffrey and Chadwick had as they bring Adira to the hospital havenโt died down yet.When they saw Adira laying down on the ground, unconscious and with blood on her head, they felt an unfamiliar sensation, a combination of adrenaline that made their body cold and electricity tingled their skin.As adrenaline hit them, they realized the situation. Adira is in danger.Chadwick looked at his tainted hands and trembled.He and Geoffrey are currently waiting outside the operating room where Adira was brought in. Itโs been an hour, and yet, they havenโt heard anything about her condition.Will she live?Will everything be okay?They wanted to be positive as much as possible. Yet the terrible shock made them anxious.Thinking if something would happen to her is not just painful for Chadwick. It takes everything out of him. He was so distraught over her suffering that it made him feel nauseous and lightheaded.Then guilt came to knock him over.โThis is because of me. I am
Third Person's POVGeoffrey followed where Adiraโs gaze peered into. What he saw standing from afar was his old pal, his former buddy and now, his competitor.Years ago, when Isa confessed her feelings to Geoffrey for the first time, Geoffrey saw Chadwick hiding in secret. That day, he only wished for Chadwick to come out and to be brave. If only Chadwick was courageous to get Isaโs love, then it wouldnโt be necessary for Geoffrey to avoid them and lose their friendship.But now, Geoffrey felt the opposite.When Chadwick saw them together, he wished he could just turn around and leave them.'You used all your time and opportunity to be with Adira. Why are you still trying when it is too late?' He asked this in his mind as he stared at him.At last.Something snapped in his brain as he remembered how Adira answered his question before.Adira said that she could fall in love with one of them. As of now, Adira thinks the two of them can make her heart move.'So, being with her for a long
Chadwickโs PovYears ago, when my heart was still young to understand what "courage" really meant, I failed on pursuing my first love.My feet which were ready to approach Isa, had hesitate in the middle. At the end, I stayed in my safe zone.Once I learned that my long-time unrequited love has feelings for Geoffrey, I accepted the fate that the sweet picture of being by her side will remain an unfilmed picture. A black film.Even though I was discovered in an accident and was rejected, I only felt an anticipated fate. Because from the very start, I knew that my place to Isaโs life is a friend. A friend whom she can use when she's having a hard time over her own one-sided love.Isa used me to make Geoffrey jealous. Withal, I did not care. I just waited for what life entails me to do.There are just things and people which I cannot get. No matter how rich and successful I am, I can't gain affection.
