***Linda Wells’ POV***

I am in the car with Chris as we drive home. It is obvious that he is still upset about what happened at the restaurant with Victoria, and I can’t blame him.

She had no right to bring up his passed wife.

“I’m sorry that you had to see me like that back there,” He speaks for the first time since we entered the car. I love that he is apologizing even though he does not really have to.

It shows maturity and humility, which I am a sucker for.

“I was just so angry and I couldn’t control my emotions,” He confesses, and I give him a reassuring smile.

“I am not going to see you as any different, Chris. Victoria knew what she was doing, she triggered you and knew that you would react. Don’t be sorry for being a human,” I say to him in response, and he smiles.

I like it when he smiles.

“Thank you,” He says softly.

We spend the rest of the ride in comfortable silence and soon we reach the mansion. Chris drives us into the compound and parks right in front of the huge hou

    ***Linda Wells’ POV***“That was amazing,” Chris says as he puts his pants on. He has a very cheerful grin on his face and seeing it makes me smile too.He is right, that was out of this world.I just had sex with Chris freaking Kingston! A man that my heart is falling for with each passing second. It was just euphoric, and I can’t get the images out of my head, not that I even wanted to. I never thought that I would be able to get over Mitch, but I am glad that I am gradually doing so. Too bad, this might be the last time I see Chris, let alone allow him to hold me in his arms. I would be on a plane with my brother flying back to America in an hour or two. “It was not bad,” I joke, and he rolls his eyes playfully.I have already put my clothes back on, I am now brushing my hair so it won’t be obvious that I just had sex when I walk out the door.Chris has his pants on and is now buttoning up his shirt.“You know it’s f*cked up, right?” He says when he has fully dressed. We are now

    ***Chris Kingston’s POV***It is the following day and the house is noticeably different, she’s not here. Linda left yesterday and to be honest, I never thought it would hurt me as much as it did when I saw her walk away to board the plane.It has only been a couple of hours and I already miss her so much.I have taken a shower and I am ready to go to work. I know I should have breakfast but I have no appetite so I will head out.“Good morning, sir,” Sergio greets me as I approach the Ferrari.Seeing him reminds me of yesterday when Linda’s brother made us all yell about our favorite food. Thinking about it makes me chuckle to myself as if I am a mad man.“Good morning, Sergio,” I reply to him, and he offers to drive me to work, but I decline.I think it would feel better for me to be alone while I drive to work this morning.I unlock the car and I sit behind the steering wheel. In a few minutes, I zoom out of the compound as I head to the company.Jason Pace's office better is clear

    ***Linda Wells’ POV***“Yeah, I’m not talking to Mitch,” I tell Ben as he holds the phone in his hand.He places the phone back to his ear and tells my message to Mitch. After a few seconds, he ends the call and puts the phone in his pocket.“What did he say?” I inquire.“Well…are you sure you would like to hear me tell you?” He fires a question to me without answering mine.“Spit it out, Ben,” I reply to him.The plane shakes a bit due to turbulence, causing my heart to skip a beat. I love flying but I definitely do not like the turbulence that comes with it.“He said that he won’t force you to speak to him, but you would eventually have to, considering that you are going to be his wife,” Ben explains to me, and I squeeze my hands shut as a way to control the anger that I feel.“Are you okay? You look like you want to kill someone,” Ben says to me as he chuckles nervously.“I’m fine,” I breathe out a sigh and I turn my attention to the view from the plane window.In a few hours, we l

    “We don’t have secrets,” I say to her, and a look of guilt and shame covers her face.“Chris, the day after our wedding, I disappeared for a whole day, and when you asked me about it, I told you that I went to visit my aunt who had cancer,” She reminds me, and I nod slowly.Where is she taking this?“I lied, I went to see someone,” She explains, but I am still confused.“I don’t get why you are bringing up something that happened long ago,” I chuckle lowly as I reply to her.“Will you just listen?” She begs me, and I sigh loudly.“The guy I went to see was not just any guy, he was a lover,” She says as her eyes glisten with tears.“Haha, very funny, Violet,” I say to her in response, but when I notice that she is not laughing, I stare at her for a few seconds.“What?” My voice cracks.“I have been cheating on you from the day we got married, Chris. I have not been the wife you thought I was,” She sniffles after she says this.“You got to know about The Witnesses after you thought I ha

    “Blackmailed? Dad, what?” I ask him and he looks around to see if someone is coming before continuing to speak again.“Let’s have this conversation in your room, please?” He pleads with me, and I agree easily.He leads the way as I try to understand what he is saying to me. He is a senator that has his own water company; he is honest and has always been, how could he be blackmailed? Where is the dirt that could be used against him?When the both of us have entered my old room, he walks toward the bed and sits on it. He has a worried look on his face that intrigues me even more.“Dad, how are you being blackmailed?” I ask him as I cross my arms on my chest. I choose to rather stand than sit.“Dad…” I beg him to tell me when he does not respond.“Your mother does not know about this, nor do your siblings,” He finally speaks up.“I made a huge mistake concerning the company,” He explains.“I still don’t get why you are being blackmailed, everyone makes mistakes,” I reply to him, and he

    I cuss under my breath when I read the message that I just got from Violet on my phone. “We are here, ma’am,” The driver informs me, and I notice that the car is no longer moving, it has stopped.“Alright,” I reply to him as I place my phone back into my purse. I then open the door and I step out.The location that I chose for this emergency meeting is quite different, and in a weird sense, comical because we are here to air our sins to maybe a hundred powerful people.I am standing in front of a very huge church, the building is magnificent.I am wearing a silver dress that is slightly above my knees. It exposes my back in a sexy and fashionable manner. The heels I am wearing are expensive, they cost me 7k, and the bottoms are red.My hair falls to my shoulders gracefully, and my lips are stained with red lipstick.“Victoria!” Sue greets me as she joins me. The both of us are heading into the church with other members of The Witnesses who are also here for the meeting.“Hello, Sue,”

    He looks different, the signature ponytail that he always does with his long hair is gone. His hair is now cut very low, it makes him look…mature. But it looks good on him though.“Hi,” He says as he smiles. He walks out of the house and closes the door shut.“I have some friends over, I don’t think you would like them to hear what you came here to tell me,” He sounds happy.“Uh, yeah. We can talk in the car,” I suggest and he nods. He has a smile on his face that reminds me of all the many times we spent together. It reminds me of so many of the dates that we went on.The both of us walk towards my family’s car in silence. When we reach it, I open the door and I step in. He opens the other door and enters also.“Thank you for coming to see me,” He starts the conversation.I really wish that I did not though. Even though I can not just simply press delete and get this man out of my mind, he has hurt me so much and I just want nothing to do with him. “The only reason I’m here is becau

I just drive in silence with the windows rolled down.What was the point of even going over to his place? He’s not going to change his mind!He claims that he loves me but if he truly did, he wouldn’t have been forcing me to be with him.It does not take long for me to reach home. I park the car right in front of the house and I get down. I sniffle and then use the back of my hand to wipe my face.I walk towards the front door and make no attempt to knock, I just open it and walk in.My family is in the living room, and from the look on my dad’s face, it seems like he knows that I failed. I did not convince Mitch to stop this blackmail sh*t.“I think it would have been better if you didn’t go over,” He says, and I slump my body on the couch next to my brother, Ben.“Did he call?” I ask, and everyone stares at me as if I have a horn on my head.“He

    Book Two.Linda’s POVI was walking down the stairs of my very luxurious house in china. Alone in there so it was quiet, except for the sounds of the birds chirping and some normal day to day noises.Chris had gone to work at one of his companies and since we got married, although everything has not been perfect, he has been one heck of a husband.I love him so much and although sometimes my stupid mind still tortures me of what it could have been like if I had never caught my brother with my ex, I would never want to be with anybody else.How would it have been? Maybe beautiful…but also, maybe awfully like hell.I began to hum a tone when I reached down the stairs. I’m someone who likes to be alone but recently I have been home alone during the day most of the time.I don’t work anymore because Chris makes a whole lot of money and I graduated from university last month.I should be working, my parents wanted it to be like that, but oh Chris, he said that that was never going to happ

    I inhale sharply at the mention of the name of the man that my wife had an affair with. This man happens to be the same man that she had a baby for and tricked me into believing that the child was mine. This man is the goddamn same person that started this takeover battle so he and Violet could kick me out of my own company that I worked endlessly to build. Why the hell is he here to see me? “Is he alone?” I ask Zara, and she studies my facial expression for a few seconds before answering slowly,” Yeah.” “Good,” I say in a breathy way as I walk away from her desk and head towards the conference room. I receive a few more congratulations from some of the associates that I walk by before I reach the glass door of the conference room. I push the door open and I walk confidently into the room. Zackery is sitting in one of the chairs at the large table and he stares at me as I approach him. “How are you, Mr. Kingston?” He says as he stands to his feet to greet me. He extends his

    ***Chris Kingston’s POV***It is the next day and I am getting ready to go to the company for the first time since the takeover battle. My best friend, Eric is supposed to meet me there in an hour. Yesterday was very eventful, and I can still remember vividly how pissed Sue was. Despite her attitude, I still took Linda to see the small garden of flowers behind the house.It is one of the things in this compound that I am very proud of. The flowers there are lovely and of many kinds. The garden is well taken off by Sergio, I assigned him personally to it years ago.Linda was impressed by the beauty of the garden. She kept stopping every minute to get a whiff of how the flowers’ scent.“Good morning,” I greet Linda as I approach her. She is sitting on the couch watching the Channel 6 News as she sips on some hot tea. Her hair is held in a messy bun, and she is wearing a blue bedroom robe.“Oh,” She says when she sees that I am already dressed formally. I am wearing a gray suit, with a

    Zackery’s eyes go crazy when he sees me running towards him with the shard of glass in my hand. He jumps out of the way and he cusses loudly as he falls to the ground with force.I stop myself when I reach the desk as my chest heaves up and down in a fast motion.“What the hell?!” He asks loudly, and I take his place by standing in front of his desk. “I am walking out of here with those papers,” I inform him firmly as I keep my eyes on him. I use the shard as a way to keep him a distance from me.He stands to his feet, and then he runs his hand through his hair.“F*ck!” He yells in frustration, and I tighten my grip on the shard of glass. As I do this, the sharp edges tear more at my skin but I ignore it. With the amount of adrenaline running through me right now, I barely feel the pain.“Just let me walk out of here with the papers,” I beg him, and he thins his lips.“Violet, if you want the papers so bad, I don’t care, you can have them,” Zackery says to me as he walks toward the f

    ***Violet Kingston’s POV***Zackery soon returns with two wine glasses and a bottle of the expensive liquor in his other hand. He has a grand smile on his face and his eyes are full of excitement.“Did he put up a fight?” He asks me as he places the wine glasses on his desk. He then opens the bottle of liquor and pours some of its content into both of the glasses.“Who are you talking about?” I inquire, though I have a feeling that he is referring to Chris.“Who else would I be talking about? Chris of course!” Zackery exclaims and I force a small laugh.He hands me one of the wine glasses and I take it from him gently. He then takes his own and places his other hand in his pocket.“Yeah, I guess he did,” I reply to him in a dull tone. He raises his glass up for a toast and I instinctively do the same. Our glasses make a distinct sound when they hit each other and Zackery cheers happily.“Hey, wait,” He says after he has sipped some of the liquor.“Why the attitude?” He asks, and then

    Violet bends low and opens the folder. She then takes out a neat stack of documents from the orange folder and places them on the coffee table. I sit on the couch and I begin to review the legal documents. They are legit divorce papers, and all that is missing is my signature.“You could take a few days to think about this if you would like,” Linda suggests and I look at her. She gives me a reassuring smile, silently letting me know that she would be here for me no matter what choice I make.“I’m good,” I reply to her, and she sighs while whispering, “Okay then.”I look back at the papers, and I feel a churning in the pit of my stomach. This could be one of the biggest mistakes of my life, or this could turn out good. I don’t know for sure, but I won’t till I try.“Here,” Violet hands me a pen and I take it from her tentatively.Sue is going to be pissed as hell when she finds out about what I am about to do. I sign the documents, and when I am done, I hand them to Violet. She place

    ***Chris Kingston’s POV***As I head from the kitchen and back into the living room, I hear the front door close. I am also hearing a voice that does not belong to Linda. “Who was at the door?” I ask loudly when I enter the living room. My eyes land on the guest and I am flabbergasted.It’s Violet. “What the hell are you doing here?” I ask her harshly. My voice is slightly raised and by the surprised and very uncomfortable look on Linda’s face, I can tell that she has no idea how to act or what to do.“Chris, I think you should lower your voice,” Linda advises me, and Violet agrees in a daring tone.“Yeah, she’s right, I think you should,” She says as she sits down on the couch.“You have no right to be here,” I say in between my teeth as I try my very best to control my temper.“Oh, I have no right to be here, but you have the right to replace me when we have not even divorced,” She argues, and her tone is tinted with jealousy.She’s jealous of Linda? “I am not your replacement,”

    “So you don’t trust me?” Chris asks Sue, and I try to intervene.“Of course, she does,” I reply at the same time that Sue disagrees by saying “No,” firmly.“The f*ck?” Chris scoffs.“Look, Mr. Kingston, I am just being honest. I trust you in other matters, but not when it comes to the divorce papers that your wife might have probably already mailed you,” She replies to him smoothly.She then leads us to a very magnificent jet plane. The stairs are already out, giving us a way to board the impressive aircraft.Once we have all boarded and fastened our seatbelts, the jet moves out of the hanger and down the runway before finally taking off. “Your wife would try all she can to get you to sign those papers, she would taunt you, and push you to the edge. So having Linda with you to remind you of the reasons you can’t sign them seems smart to me,” Sue explains to Chris when we are at cruising altitude.“Besides you representing your shady association in this matter, what do you gain person

    “Good, you’re already dressed,” Sue’s voice gets louder as she walks toward the living room.Chris closes the door and follows her until they both approach me. Sue is wearing a different outfit, this one is more casual than the last one she was wearing last night.A frown sits on her lips as she eyes me from head to toe.“Linda, Linda, Linda,” She says in a frustrating tone.I stand upright and I wait to hear what she has to say. “Chris is in a war and should be in China before the end of the day. If you are going to be coming along, at least you should have had the courtesy to be showered and dressed already,” She scolds me.“It was my fault, I turned off the alarm because I wanted her to get more sleep, she has been through a lot,” Chris defends me. I don’t even remember there being an alarm clock in any of the bedrooms, he is just trying to take the blame.“Yeah, you got a point. Sorry, Linda,” Sue apologizes easily as she pushes to the side the bags and boxes of things Chris ord
