Chapter 74As he slapped the bottle of alcohol out of Antonia's hand, she stared at him in shock, her eyes opened wide. "I..I..am sorry Tonia" Seeing the repercussions of his actions, he immediately began to feel sorry and so he apologized to her."Christian, what did you just do?" She yelled at him and then bent down immediately to collect all the pieces of the broken bottle and the cup that was on the floor. "I'm sorry Tonia, I didn't mean for this to happen. I just wanted you to stop drinking, it's not healthy" Christian tried to defend himself "What the fuck has come over you!" Tonia shouted at him and then kept picking the glasses up with her bare hands when Christian pulled her away from it causing them to fall back down again. "Let me go" She yelled at him before shoving him away from her. "You shouldn't be picking the glass with your hands, what if you get hurt!" He yelled back at her. "You don't have the right to act concerned about me when you don't care about me," She s
CHAPTER 75The emotional strains in Antonia and Christian's relationship grew worse as the days went by. The streaks of raw passion they once shared in their love became replaced with uncertainties,fear, detachment, invisible distance and longings fueled by the love Chris had for his children. Christian no longer belonged to her,he had a life she would never fit into. "I thought you would spend the night with me," she said to him one night after he'd taken her to see a movie. He had seen her off to her room and she'd offered to make dinner for them in her private kitchen when he declined. "I was hoping we could sleep in penthouse and stare at the stars together. Like we used to do" A small smile played on Chris's lips as he remembered the time they shared sweet intimacies on the roof. Under the stars,in the cool breeze, with no cares to daunt them but their raging desires. "I have to help the children with their assignment and get them prepared for school tomorrow. Laura is a li
CHAPTER 76This felt like the most complicating situation he could ever find himself at that moment, with the time passing he thought of what more to do—He was so far lost in himself that it didn't cross his mind that dinner had passed, he was certain that Tonia was going to get all dramatic especially with the fact that she was all confused about what to do.Time had passed, when he was finally able to get himself to walk outside as he did, he could still feel the need for him to pacify everything that seemed to be going on at that moment.As he stepped out of his study, he hoped to himself that all of this turned out right he made way toward the dinning slowly.At the table dinner was ready, Chris still hadn’t appeared. At this point she was definitely feeling abandoned. Her thought went to the fact that he could be with Laura and that would be coming after he had promised not to get into anything to do with her.She shook her head in exasperation. “Eve, would you go get him to
Chapter 77He was right there at the pub trying to cool everything off when at that same minute she had walked in, it seemed to him as though he was dreaming sort of, as he wondered to himself why else she would be there—She had seen him immediately she walked in, and had thought that it would be best she walked out, in a way she was still trying so hard to comprehend what just happened, try all she could it was hard to tell how out of the hundred and something pubs that were in town, she had managed to walk into one that had the last person she was expecting to see She should just turn now, it would definitely make the situation perfect as she was avoiding him!Still despite having that thought at the back of her mind, she still hadn't moved from where she was.It wasn't down to the fact that she found him irresistible, though any woman would find him that way… It was the fact that he looked rather miserable.She screams internally as she chastens herself for not having enough wi
CHAPTER 78If there was any way anyone could get humiliated enough nst this situation It was to have a broken car, she was drunk, reckless and stupid and perhaps this was life trying to teach her a bitter lesson about all of this, the more she thought about it the more ridiculous or felt for her.Should she just go back and ask for his assistance?She thought about it, but yet again she was starting to feel that array of anger and pride again.“Never!" She mutters to herself and drops her hand frustrated.She was nervous, terrified, determined to keep some spaces while she fixed her car with her gaze constantly going back to where the door was If there was one constant thought that had filled her mind all evening it was the possibility of his hands on her, she could feel all of it constantly dancing along her skin as she got out of the car.She grabbed her bag from the backseat, and checked her phone for service… All jammed.She swallowed when she heard the door ahead with an un
CHAPTER 79She knows this road they had stopped like the back of her palms, if she had a choice she wouldn't sit and try to engage him, instead would have taken a ride and got out of there.She locked eyes with him again and took a quick glance at her time…It’s going to be fine…she tells herself over and over again.They were nearing a quiet road with three lanes when they had stopped, till this moment she couldn't tell why, she felt it just happened —****Shocked at how the car was suddenly pulled into an abrupt stop she shared the moment with him, it was hard to tell what was going through his mind at that minute, she gazed right at him where he was and could literally tell that his mood was the same as her's—confused.Her eyes were spitting flames at this point, she knew it was impossible for her to act like everything that was happening was normal, if she did it would be her showing her vulnerability."What do you want?" She questioned.All Chris did was look, it was obvious th
CHAPTER 80It was burning deep in her soul, Christian hadn't come home yet and her sleep had been restless as she kept waking to check his side of the bed only to find cool sheets and a smooth pillow beside her, she was confused and didn't know what to do, had she pushed him away?The more she thought about to her, the more it was looking more glaring that all this was planned, how else could she explain what had happened —Her mind went to the fact that they could be together and Laura leaving home after him was just a way to hide whatever illicit affairs they were having. As a result of what she was feeling at the moment, her mind had started the day too worn out and over-tired as it kept reflecting on the implications all of this would have, especially after he was with a woman that had birthed him kids.She thought about the issue with a sense of impending doom. She hoped all of this she was feeling was just thought and she was overthinking as it would seem unnatural for he
CHAPTER 81Leaning against the pane of the window, Antonia had her eyes out of the window as she watched Christian’s car slide into the premises, sending dust particles into the air. “What's up with his driving?” She muttered. From the bedroom window, she could see that there were two occupants in the car. Trying to get the identity of the other person, she craned her neck but couldn't see the face of the person clearly. Still staring, the driver's door was pushed open and an angry looking Christian stepped out. The next minute Laura climbed out too, in contrast to Christian angry demeanor, she was wearing a calm look. The couples looked around for a while and then exchanged glances before they disappeared from her eyesight. Now staring at the door, Antonia had her hands across her chest as she stared hard at the door waiting for Christian to walk in. Immediately the knob was twisted, she pulled herself from the wall and with a heavy footstep, she stormed towards the door, sendi
