Chapter TenLila’ POVI felt my blood boiled from the pain and anger as I watch my filthy husband kneel in front of me. How dare him use his relatives to make himself look like the hopeless victim?!“Babe, I love you. Please forgive me!” he reached to hold my cold numbing hand and I felt disgusted from his touch that I hastily pulled away.“Lila, look at the guy,” his uncle Davis butted in. “I’ve never seen Taylor like this with a girl before.” Davis chuckled. I never liked this guy. Not when Taylor and I were dating, not when we were engaged and definitely never gonna like him forever.“He never put effort to a girl unless he mean it, Lila.” said another relative.“Aw! He is so sweet!” said Cherry, too innocently.“Forgive the guy, Lila!”They continued cheering for Taylor and I could see the shining hope in his eyes from the support he gained, but in the back of my head, I could say that his expression is hideous. His relatives seems unaware of the truth and that’s why they stand by
Chapter Eleven“Just forgive the man. He gave you his everything, don’t let your relationship get ruined because of a one time mistake.” Davis said but I paid no attention to him. I didn’t take my eyes off Taylor. We fought with our gazes and there is no way I’m backing down just because of his deadly stare.We stayed like that for a minute and he only blinked when I snapped my arm off his hold. He looked down to my elbow when I touched it, I felt a sting of pain from how tightly he gripped my arm.“I’m sorry.” he shut his eyes tight and looked up to me. “I know you are hurting and feeling betrayed right now but I end ties with my affair and I promise I won’t repeat the same mistake again.” his voice is low now, not like the over-confident tone he had earlier.My head played back to when I saw him and Raph on our room, in our bed. The clip of Rafaela thrusting a dildo in and out of Taylor’s hole and the way my husband moaned from the pleasure of being fucked replayed on my head like a
Chapter TwelveLila’ POV“Did you forget your undying love for me while your bitch was fucking you from behind?!” I screamed.I heard some of his family gasped, mostly the women. Murmurs was heard all over the room and it seems I’m the one who’s not making any sense.“Lila!” Davis shouted. “When will you stop these lies?!”How ironic.When Taylor speaks, they didn’t had any second thought but believe him right away but when it comes to my word, I’m a liar?I faced Davis and everyone, ignoring what the uncle had said. I won’t be the goody two shoes lady they knew, not anymore. I’m the one who was betrayed here. Not Taylor. I’m the victim who believed Taylor’s lie, I become blind with my love for him, and there’s no way I will close my eyes in this matter at hand.“A week ago, I came home early when my client canceled a meeting and when I came home!,” I pointed at Taylor. “I found my husband on our bed getting his ass rummaged by his so-called business partner!”“You have no proof, youn
Chapter ThirteenI’m seated on our bed, hugging my knees and tears won’t stop falling down my cheeks. I was held captive by my husband! In our own home! I was about to say I couldn’t believe this is happening but who am I kidding?It’s been hours since he locked me in this room and he hasn’t come back yet.I feel tired. I’ve been crying all this hours and thinking non-stop of the hatred blooming in my chest to the person I devoted my life to.I made a wrong choice, he is a wrong choice. I shouldn’t have rush things as a young stupid adult, this marriage, this life.This is not what I wanted. I should have get to know him more, I should have used my fucking mind rather than my foolish heart!Taylor’s angered face popped in my head and I cringed from the image.I never knew that side of him. The way he looked out of his mind, insane, a person I never have met before.The way he claim that I am his possession was scary.Terrifying.I thought I held the card in my hand, that I am the one
Chapter FourteenLila’ POVEscape. How will I unlock myself inside this room?Looking out at the window, I opened the sliding glass and looked down. It’s so high.Our house was built in elegance and modernity. The master’s bedroom where I’m locked in is at the second floor but still, that’s way too far from the ground because of the ground floor’s high ceiling.I can jump in this window but will end up with some broken limbs for sure. And Taylor knew I don’t have that courage.Fuck.I tried the door but it won’t budge a bit after I smashed it with my vanity chair. This is the fucking first time that I hated how I agreed to have this tight security around the house.Damn it! I cursed as I sat on the bed, feeling hopeless that there’s a chance to escape the room.My chest is heavy and I’m breathing heavier. The thought of Taylor coming back and doing the things I can’t even imagine cringes me. Looking around the house, I can’t see any way of exit aside from the window.But can I do it?
Chapter FifteenKyler’s POVI checked my phone for messages or calls but still didn’t find the one person I was waiting to contact me.Lila Sinclair.It’s been a few days since we parted ways and she hadn’t contact me. I know she will go back to her husband, the lucky bastard, and that stops me to reach out to her first.I’ve liked Lila since the first time I saw her. That was two and a half years ago.That time, I just contracted to build a hotel branch in Manhattan and I saw Lila during my meeting with my old friend who owns an architectural firm. She is one of the architects who designed the hotel.Even though I only need to make an appearance for the first meeting, I ended up attending every meeting with the firm. Only for one thing.I just want to see her more.But Lila is in a relationship with a lawyer named Taylor Sandford, and she was too faithful to him back on those days. It was hard to have a talk with her out of business topic, she was focused on her work and on her ‘Tayl
Chapter SixteenI immediately stood in the middle of the road to slow the car down because in that speed, I’m sure it will just go past me.I put my hands up and waved it frantically for the driver to notice me. The dim lights didn’t help for me to see the color of the vehicle but I noticed how its speed reduced.“Hey!” I keep on saying even though the driver probably can’t hear me. And finally, it stopped right before it hit me.A red mustang top-down stopped so I quickly run to the driver’s seat. I could not see the face of the driver because of the dark but I’m sure its a man.“Hi! Sorry for disturbing your drive but can I ask for help? My car broke down and-”“Let me guess… You don’t notice me again because of the dark.” said a deep baritone voice.That voice sounds familiar!“Kyler?!” I blurted and gasped when he looked at me and smiled.“Hi, Lila.”“Oh my!”***I’m seated in the only passenger seat of his car as we drove but my heart is far from being comfortable. It keeps on po
Chapter SeventeenHe tugged on my panties, and I’m sure he is planning to rip the poor fabric from how hard he gripped on it.“Kyler--Ahhh!” I moaned loud and ecstatic when his mouth found one of the peak of my mountain, sucked on it hard as he ripped my panties off, pulling it away to leave my lower body naked above him.The hardness of his manhood didn’t escaped my senses, I am indirectly sitting on it below his suit pants. And fuck! He is so hard in big despite the fabric barrier!“A-Are we gonna do it h-here?” I whispered, huffing and moaning loud as he lick on my peak.He sucked on it once more before letting it go to meet my eyes.“I want you, Lila.” he said as if oxygen is leaving his lungs. His eyes are full of desire but I can see no lies in it. He meant it.I wanted him, too. I don’t know what kind of pull he has over me but I’m letting myself be pulled. I want to do it with him, and the excitement of doing it in a car is another level. The fear of being seen, even though th
Chapter Thirty-ThreeOur eyes locked the moment we stepped into the elevator. There were five other people inside, and our floor was the last stop.He looked at me with undeniable heat, and I knew I looked at him the same way. I wanted him now. I wanted to kiss him, to devour him. I craved another taste of the feeling I knew only he could provide.Kyler reached for my hand, his fingers weaving through mine, pulling me closer. The warmth of his touch sent shivers down my spine. I sighed, a deep, longing breath. Pure lust was taking me over, every inch of my being screaming for his proximity. I felt as if I were being consumed by the intensity, as though I was devouring him with my gaze alone.Now, it's clear to me that he wants me. Not as a mere distraction, not as a fleeting amusement to pass the hours. He desires me, not superficially, but with a depth and sincerity
Chapter Twenty-FiveLila’ POVI can no longer cry. That is what I’m sure but there’s no hint of giving up on my system.Never.Right now, the only emotion I have is anger. Fear, yes. But my wrath is exploding, its tremendous that I can’t fucking pity myself from all of this anymore.They won’t let me eat or sleep if I won’t get back with Taylor? I’d rather die!The sun is already out, and I know that today will be the day that my husband will come back from the hell he went to! I wanted to tell him what Isabel did but I won’t!I rather endure everything that his family does to me than make him fought for me. I won’t let him stand up for me, not anymore. I’m ending our relationship, and I’m not trying to strengthen it by having his side.Though it sounds so good if he will kick his own family our of their wealth but I want to leave him, it won’t matter.At least when I’m out of his life, he still got his family’s back.I haven’t eaten for half a day, and that was supposed to be fine, I
Chapter Twenty-FourI opened my eyes and looked at him. Tears started to crawl from my eyes and I felt my heart heaving as I look at the man in front of me.“What happened to you, T?” my voice trembled. My husband looked down. I don’t know what he was thinking but the fact that he can’t look at my eyes meant he is guilty. At least a bit.After a while, he looked back up to me and smiled wryly. “I failed, I guess. I failed to be the good husband that I promised you I’ll be. I failed to keep my secrets away, I failed you.”I cried more from his answer. Tears rolling down my eyes but I can’t make any sound. My throat felt like its being clenched, like a hand was gripping on it tight.Am I wrong to not gave him a chance? What is it that changed between us now? Is this the limit of my love for him?Yes.I can’t see myself with him again. I can’t see Lila living with a new Taylor, his secrets might be better to just be kept but I also don’t want secrets coiling with my relationship.“Yes, y
Chapter Twenty-ThreeKyler’s POV“Should we wait a little more, Sir?” Johnson, my secretary asked as he stood behind me.I’ve been sitting here, at the garden, for quite a long time. Food is fixed on the table for two, there are candles which already melted and shortened. My jaw continued to clench as I stare at nothing.She didn’t come to me…I asked Johnson to prepare all these and while waiting, we’ve discussed some work I left because I was too agitated to come home. My excitement was all for nothing, huh?I guess Lila still love her husband after all. That lucky bastard! I knew it’s not a good thing that I let go of her earlier, that I let her come to her husband. I already have my hands on her and yet, I fucked up again!If only I didn’t let her go, she might’ve still be here.“No, Johnson. My guest is not coming.” Bitterness twirled on my tongue as I said the last words.I was born with a silver spoon placed on my mouth. Everything and anyone easily succumbed in my hands and ye
Chapter Twenty-Two“Why did you come here?” I asked. I’ve been bothered with that. I thought he won’t run after me, or he might be scared to. I escaped him, I might go to the police but I didn’t. Still, doesn’t he feared that possibilities?“The moment I came home and found you gone, I got scared. I don’t want to lose you, Lila. I love you that much.”“You cheated on me.” then I looked at him. “I found you doing some--.” I sighed, unable to continue the words.He looked down to his hands. I don’t know if he is just acting or what but he made a good show of looking ashamed like that.“I know I-”“Tell me, Taylor.” I shifted on my sit to face him properly. Taylor looked at me with the same expression he has on since I saw him today. “What are you? Are you gay?”He frantically shook his head. “N-No, no, I’m--”“Okay, let’s play this game.” I chuckled. “Question and answer, but I will be the only one asking.”Taylor slowly nodded so I started.“If you are not gay, are you bisexual?”He l
Chapter Twenty-OneI remembered what we had talked about at The Hill during our escapade and I know just what he was asking.I nodded. “Yes.”“Hm, then if you come to me tonight, may I take that as a hint that you are finally divorcing your shitty husband?”I cannot hide my laugh from how I found humor in his words. My decision was to talk to Taylor about divorce but now that Kyler said that, I want to surprise him.I will show up tonight unannounced and let him know about it.“Don’t go laughing at me, lady.” he scolded with a squinted eyes. I laughed more.His phone rang and he looked at it with knotted forehead.“Work?” I asked with a smile. I know he is a busy man, I also wonder how he find time for us despite his schedule. “You should go,”“I’ll walk you out.” he offered and I nodded my response.I have made up my mind. My marriage needed to end and I will talk about it with Taylor, then afterwards, I will go to Kyler.We walked out of the hospital and Kyler kept looking around. W
Chapter Twenty“You seems close with that doctor,” I said, chuckling, while we walk down the hallway of the hospital, heading out.“Yeah. He’s originally from New York and was an exclusive doctor to our family so I grew up with him around. He transferred here in Manhattan when Grandma died, together with his family.”Oh. I think I get it. From the way Kyler acted so close with Dr. Brown, I can only imagine how the doctor got attached with his late grandmother.“I see-”“Lila?”I looked at my back when I heard someone called my name.Shit.It was Grace. Taylor’s cousin and a doctor, too. She’s working here?! Fuck.“G-Grace!”“Oh, wow! I never thought you’d be here!” she come and hugged me. “T is right to find you in Manhattan, you’re really here!”I felt a cold shiver run down my spine. My husband was looking for me! And he is in Manhattan!“I need to call him!” she said, grabbing her phone.I can’t stop her. I think she haven’t heard about what happened between me and my husband.I wa
Chapter NineteenLila’ POVOh, my! I’m so full!“Did you like the food?” Kyler asked me as he wiped the side of his mouth, so elegantly, with the table napkin.“Yeah, you?”He smiled, “I liked you more,” I blushed but he chuckled. “Yes, this is one of the best Italian restaurant here in Manhattan.”“I’ve been gone for so long, this place is not here two years ago.” its true, I know most of the best places here in my hometown. This restaurant serves a great quality of food, this must be new.“Yeah. We just started a year ago.”“’We’? You own the place?”What. The. Hell.I know he is rich as fuck but I never experienced being with someone who is as wealthy as him.He chuckled. “You looked shocked.”I blushed. “I am. Thought you’re in the hotel industry.”He nodded and sipped on his drink. “I invested on other lines such as restaurant and telecommunications. This restaurant, however, is different. My friend was a chef and he asked for my help so he could start his own business. I’m just
Chapter EighteenI chuckled from how he looked tired, trying to open that mesmerizing eye. “I don’t think you can.”Kyler closed his eyes and laughed, a very subtle, masculine laugh I have found sexy to listen at. “Be careful on taunting the lion, Lila. This lion still sees you as his prey.” he whispered and buried his head on my neck, biting gently on my soft flesh.I gasped.Damn. Just by that small move and I felt electrocuted!“So you and the husband did it...” he whispered, and his voice suddenly turned stern.I frowned, puzzled by what he meant. “What?”Kyler’s hands trailed down to my chest, then his finger stopped at the upper part of my breast, drawing circles on a specific spot. “I did not put this here,” he whispered while looking at where his finger is.I looked down and saw a huge hickey right there. Taylor did that!“And,” he continued but stopped to move his hand.Slowly, he trailed his hand more, down to my stomach, to my belly, until it reached the inner part of my le
