-Warning: Mature Content -Claire's POV"Hmmmm... Oooh!"A deep, guttural groan escaped my lips as I passionately ravished his, succumbing to the intoxicating allure of our fervent embrace. The delectable embrace of those lips was an exquisite indulgence, as though the sensation had been absent from my mouth for an eternity.A palpable sensation stirred within me as I beheld Ryker's face, fixated upon my attire. Merely by casting my gaze upon him, a profound feeling surged through my being, as if every fiber of my existence had been revitalized. In the throes of passion, I find myself succumbing to an insatiable yearning, my lips pressing against his with an intensity that can only be described as primal. My lips, aflame with ardor and desire, continued their ceaseless dance, their purpose clear: to entice him for all eternity. However, he, the consummate professional, leaves me in a state of vertigo, overwhelmed by the intoxicating essence of his passionate embrace. I enveloped my ar
RYKER"Ryker..."I started my trip to work very early in the morning. There was a time when Claire and I had a good relationship. Our link was full of hope. Unfortunately, our perfect relationship was suddenly ruined when Heiji walked in out of the blue and took attention away from our growing relationship. Also, having a daily personal meeting with my beloved partner is, without a doubt, one of the most precious times of my life."Alice!"Alice's quick entrance made me feel shocked all the way through. My voice started to shake as I said her name. It was a mix of confusion and interest. "Why are you here?"To my great surprise, Alice appeared in my office right before me. She slid the door to my small office closed softly, and I raised my eyebrows and smiled as I did so."I want to thank you for what you did in person. Thanks a lot for your help." Alice put out her arm and held out a simple paper bag.With my face wrinkled, I reached out and put out my hand. I grabbed her body and ge
RYKER"What? What did you say?""She told her father I was the father of the one she was pregnant with!"Using the handkerchief, I wiped my dirty clothes because of what Daniel did. Daniel immediately took a tissue and wiped his face."Did something happen to you and Alice?" asked Daniel."Nothing happened to us.""Then why did she tell her dad that you are the father of the one she is pregnant with?" asked Daniel. "Shit, dude, you know her father. He will definitely insist you marry his daughter.""That's why I'm having problems. I'm thinking about Claire. We're going to fight over this. We were starting, and then there was another problem.""So what's your plan?""I haven't come up with a plan yet.""Tell Claire that Alice did that. It's better to be honest with him before he thinks badly or someone else tells him before you. You will be in more trouble because then.""Jeez, dude, if only it were that easy to tell him," I said. I glanced at Daniel, and he was enjoying the food. "Hel
RYKER"Love..."Claire has been strangely quiet ever since we left our home. She hasn't said a single word, as if the vastness of the world outside has swallowed her voice. The once lively and animated person has now retired into herself, leaving an eerie void. I let go of the situation because I thought that maybe her long-lasting sadness had made her do what she did. I used the harmonious art of music to fill the silence inside the car by carefully arranging melodic notes. This took away any discomfort that might have come from the silence. As we arrived at her parent's house, they were shocked because our entrance had caught them by surprise and left them unprepared. Claire was talking to her parents when I suddenly had to call her immediately. At that very moment, she turned towards me, and I quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from her parents."What do you want me to buy for them as a gift?" I asked. Claire had her eyes on me. "What gives you that look? I want to retur
CLAIRE"H-Heiji…"The words I heard on the phone seemed to have a strange ability to make me feel a deep sense of pain. It felt like an unseen force had touched my heart and crushed it brutally under its weight. I put a shaking hand on my chest and tried hard to stop the tears threatening to come out. When I realized that Ryker's feelings for me were gone for good, I felt unbearable pain because I could no longer hold on to hope. The soft creak of the door reached my ears and drew my attention to the room where Ryker and Alice were sitting. But it wasn't the usual sound of a man's voice that caught my attention. Instead, the soft rhythm of a woman's voice filled the air. In time, I could feel Heiji's hand lightly touching my shoulders."Claire… I will take you home."I didn't say no to what Heiji said. I, too, longed to leave that terrible place. As Heiji and I strolled to the parking lot, his strong arm comforted me and helped me keep my balance. As soon as I got into the car, I was
RYKER"Be careful."I gently put my arms around Claire's shoulders to support her as I led her to the car. I correctly told my in-laws that I planned to take Claire back to our home. People there were only aware of the disagreement between my wife and me; they were still sure that Claire was sick, so they let us leave for home.At some point during the trip, Claire calmed down. She leaned back against the soft backrest of her seat and kept her face straight. Deep in thought, she looked out the window with her hand carefully placed on her lips."Love, let's talk..."Claire didn't say anything and kept her eyes on the world outside the window. Despite turning her body around, she didn't even look at me for a second."Whatever the issue is, let's discuss it to understand and clarify each other. Not this way." I spoke confidently, and my voice echoed like a beautiful symphony. "You can't just end our relationship.""I need some space. I want to breathe." Without so much as a glance in my
RYKER"She's not here. Weren't you two together last night?"When I got to my in-laws' house, I was quickly pulled into the job of finding my wife. As expected, she was not there. Maybe, deep down, she knew that my persistent chase would eventually lead me to her parents' house."Yes, Mom," I replied, my voice tinged with melancholy. "She left without telling me. She was gone when I woke up.""Perhaps she's at Russell's house.""Maybe she'll just leave for a while. Why did you not call your house? She might already be there."I took a deep breath and gathered the courage to pull my phone out of my pocket. Without delay, I quickly picked up the phone and called one of my maids. She answered my call immediately, and I could hear her voice clearly at the other end."Has Claire arrived yet?" Instantly, as soon as she answered the call, I asked."Not yet, sir.""All right, let me know when she gets there."I quickly ended the call without allowing the maid to say anything. "Did the two of
RYKER"What the hell did you do again?" Russell screamed, and her voice was a little irritated."I have no idea what I did!"I was sitting on the sofa, feeling at ease, while Russell stood straight before me. Russell was surprised when I showed up at her home out of the blue, but as soon as she saw me, she quickly took on the older role and treated me like I was the younger one. As luck would have it, Daniel had told her about our conversation, which may explain why he had been calling me so much, and I hadn't answered.Russell was walking across the space in front of me at a steady beat, and I caught a quick glimpse of her. She held her stomach with one hand."Sit down. That might prompt you to give birth to what you're doing." I said.Without delay, she moved quickly forward and sat down smoothly in the empty chair before me. There was a line on her face as she held onto her phone. I paid close attention to her as she carefully dialed her phone. Her attention was steady, and her mov
