Chapter 25

Alec leaned back against his chair. "I can't pay for your drinks again?" He said curtly. Gianna scoffed unbelievably. "Excuse me? The last time I checked, we are not friends, and oh yeah, you tricked and deceived me, and now you're stalking me? How did you know I was going to be here? Are you seriously following me?" Gianna let out all at once.

Alec's brows twitched lightly as he watched her mouth movements before he spoke again.

"Give me your number" He simply said. Gianna's brows furrowed. He didn't answer any of her questions and this was all he had to say.

She was furious, and she's had enough. She let out an annoyed huff, then grabbed her bag and got up at once, wanting to walk away but Alec swiftly grabbed her arm, puking her bag.

Her eyes widened and she turned to look at him annoyingly. "Get the fuck off me!" She snapped.

"May I have your number, please?" Alec only repeated. Her brows dipped, her eyes moved slightly. Was he serious? She studied his expression, he wa

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 01

    Chapter 01Staff members bowed as Helena strode into her company, exuding an air of elegance and confidence. Her white tailored suit accentuated her slender, well-built frame, and she moved in a way that commanded graceful authority down the hallway, her manager walking alongside her.They entered the elevator, their synchronized steps reflecting the harmony of their working relationship. And out of the elevator to her office located on the 15th floor of the building, the highest floor in the company.Her manager hurried to the door, opening it widely for her and she walked in, gracing the room with her presence, her red heels hitting the marbled floor."Come over" Helena said, and without looking at her, her manager knew she was referring to her.She hurried to catch up with her, matching her stride once again. She pulled the chair to the back and Helena stepped in, covering the space, then sat down as her manager wheeled the chair forward so she could sit."Yes, ma'am?" She asked,

    Chapter 02"Hi" Helena said, soft-spoken she was, just like her husband. You barely hear her.Her gaze never left him, neither did his.Barry coughed silently breaking the awkward atmosphere, or not as neither of them moved nor looked away."We'll leave you two to talk" He said and motioned to his butler who hurried to him to help him up. Gianna and the driver excused themselves too."Hi" Helena said once again, with the same pretty smile splattered on her face. She hadn't changed, she looked pretty as ever, her brunette hair styled in a bun, a red lipstick plastered prettily on her lips, she was styled in a red short gown which rested dangerously just above her knees, matching it with a black louboutin.She was just like before, nothing about her had changed. Red, she loved red so much, she still seems to do so even now. And that pretty little smile she puts on her face everytime, even when she's mad, or sad, or annoyed, she had exactly the same one on. Her pretty little manipulative

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 03

    Chapter 03The all turned to see the last person expected, standing right beside Kenzo was his wife, Helena dressed in a red sleeveless dress with a red lipstick on, matching her red heels."Are you interested in the deal or not, Mrs. Laine" She said with a smirk."Why are you ganging up on my man with your girls?" She completed, dropping the smirk and slipping her arms around Kenzo's.They all looked at the act and Karen let out a smile, Helena's stern gaze still on her."Of course, I am" She smiled and walked over to them, closing the distance between them.She dipped her hands into her bag and slipped it inside Kenzo's front pocket. "Call me" She said with a gentle smile before passing Helena one last glance and then walked away.Helena let out a tiny smirk and then raised her brows at the other ladies still left at the scene. They smiled, then walked away.All these while Kenzo has his eyes on his wife, without removing them off her throughout the little interaction she had just h

    Chapter 04Kenzo let out a slight scoff, dropped his jacket on the hanger, took off his shoes and walked away to the bathroom, leaving Helena hanging.Helena let out a sigh and dropped the book. She looked down at her gown, "I guess this won't do the job" She muttered, then yanked it off, leaving her in her panties and her upper body naked.'I should get something more seductive' She thought as she walked over to the closet."Hmm, let's see" She muttered as she began going through the clothes in an orderly manner.She yanked out a bra, holding it up like it was an auction. "This isn't mine?" She questioned with a confused look on."What are you doing?" Kenzo suddenly asked from behind making her turn swiftly, completely forgetting she was naked, not like she cared. But maybe Kenzo did cause he went red immediately with his eyes widening slowly in shock.Helena raised her brows suspiciously as she approached him, still holding the bra up, but Kenzo was still embarrassed and in shock to

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 05

    Chapter 05She never cared about him nor his feelings. A part of him had assumed her return was to reconcile with him and correct her mistakes, but he now knew better. He knew damn well why she truly was back.An heir, her father must have asked her to produce an heir. Then she must have remembered he existed.Kenzo stepped backwards, trying really hard to conceal the look of disappointment on his face. He let out an almost sad smile, he didn't want her to get a reaction out of him or for her to think her hurtful words bothered him that much."Is that it, Helena?" He muttered, Helena rose her brows."Is that why you're here? An heir? Is that what your dad asked of you this time around? Is that.." His broken voice gave him away. He couldn't stop himself from feeling that way."Is that all you think about me? Someone you can use and dump and then come back to when you need me? Helena, are you serious?"Helena stared on in confusion. She couldn't understand what was going on. He was misun

    Chapter 06He couldn't believe his eyes so he looked up at his wife, demanding an explanation. He raised the pictures up to Helena who only bit her lips, embarrassed."Helena.." He called. She looked away, confirming his suspicions. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe she would do this to him. Everything she had ever brought to his life was misery.Mr. Saltzman got on his feet after seeing Kenzo's angry face, trying to calm him down."Sir.."Is that why you came home?" Kenzo asked Helena.She turned back to face him. She was full of guilt and if he didn't know her he would actually think she felt guilty and cared that he was hurt. She didn't. She never cared."Babe.." She tried to touch him but he moved back with a scoff."Babe?" He couldn't believe his ears."One minute you're asking for a reunion, the next this. Sabotaging a contract you know how much means to me because you didn't get what you wanted?""It's not that..""Then what is?!" He did it. He raised his voice at her

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 07

    Chapter 07Helena sighed immediately the call ended and she slumped further in the couch. Will I? How will I get this deal Kenzo practically has. She knew she couldn't beat him.Alfredo Enterprise was the biggest in America, while they were still working their way up to the top in the construction industry, Alfredo Enterprise practically owned the industry. They were among the biggest of the biggest.Their newly established company was no match for Kenzo's. Her dad knew the president personally and she knew he purposely asked her despite knowing the president to test if she would do it despite her husband being involved.Carmen never liked nor hated Kenzo. He simply didn't care about an ounce of his existence. He had always been one to let his kids do whatever they wanted and when Helena had introduced Kenzo to him for the first time. He wasn't in support of Helena getting into a relationship as it would distract her from achieving greater things but when Kenzo had introduced himself

    Chapter 08She did it. She sabotaged his deal, and not just any, a really huge deal anyone would kill to get, and she took it from him, her husband.She was a very horrible person and she didn't deserve him. She knew that as much as anyone else. But she didn't have time to spare, she needed to produce an heir.**Back To Now**She was on her way to Kenzo's office, she knew it wasn't the right time but she needed to see him and explain before things go wrong. What would she say? She had no idea yet but she had to say something."We're here" Her driver announced and she looked up at the gigantic building before them with 'ALFREDO ENTERPRISE' boldly engraved on its walls.She got out of the car and on seeing her, the workers made way for her while some gossiped as she walked past them. Why was their boss's runaway wife back. Probably to cause trouble again, some said to themselves.She took the elevator to his floor and let out a a little knock before pushing the door open, and there she

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 24

    Chapter 24Kenzo took a deep breath before sighing disappointed. He leaned back against the seat, pressing his lips against each other as he stared blankly at his wife.His wife... the one who refused to sign the divorce papers and is now asking for a truce, just for 'three months' she said. She wanted to be with him just for three months. Just three months. Was that how long her dad gave her before she needed to come back to take over the company again."Ken..""How about now?" Kenzo cut her off. Helena raised her brows softly, "what?" "Why not now? Why in three months?" He asked.Helena visibly taken aback by his question didn't know what to reply with, "Um.. Because..""Because your dad said so?" Kenzo cut in."I said that's not it!" Helena snapped at him."Why? Why shouldn't I mention him, Helena? Our whole relationship was practically built around him. Now that I think about it, is he the reason you accepted to date me in the first place, did he ask you to?""Kenzo, stop!" Hele

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 23

    Chapter 23Helena pushed the door open to Kenzo's office and met him seated, working on some files with Kelly on the opposite seat.Helena rolled her eyes before walking in anyways.Kenzo raised his head but on seeing her continued with his work. Helena smiled at him as she approached his desk then took a glance at Kelly who shivered slightly in fear."Get out" Helena said at once and Kelly nodded, packed her bags and walked out after giving Kenzo a last glance.Kenzo sighed then dropped the files in his hands and finally looked up at her."What do you want?" He asked as she had her seat. She smiled. "I see you've met Alec, he's my personal assistant, and yeah he might be a bit straight spoken sometimes, alright maybe most of the time, but still, you shouldn't take his words to heart" She said, practically speaking to herself because Kenzo couldn't have looked more uninterested in her words."Oh come on, why are you playing so hard to get?" She groaned. Kenzo still looked uninterested

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 22

    Chapter 22"Hi" Gianna greeted the man seated on the seat while Kenzo had his seat across from him.The man barely moved nor said a word Kenzo raised his brows and turned to Gianna. Gianna nodded and then bent a bit to the man's level."Sir, you said you had information for us. I was the one that called you the other day, and you said to meet you here" She mustered up a smile.The man finally looked up, and Gianna was a bit taken aback as she moved back slowly. He was totally not what he expected him to look like. Magical. He was magical, and young. She had expected a man in his 40s who had shady information for them."Hum" She cleared her throat nervously then got on her feet."Hi, I'm Gianna" She stretched out her hands for a handshake.The man looked down at her stretched hands, then looked away at Kenzo instead. Gianna nervously retracted her hands."You must be Kenzo?" The man stated. Kenzo's brows dipped."Yes, and you?" Kenzo asked.The guy smirked and leaned back against the

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 21

    Chapter 21Kenzo stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse, staring at the city lights that flickered like tiny stars beneath him. His mind, however, was far from the breathtaking view. His thoughts were occupied with Helena—her unexpected return, her persistence, and the secrets she was undoubtedly keeping from him.His phone vibrated on the table beside him, snapping him out of his thoughts. He grabbed it and saw Gianna’s name flashing on the screen.“Talk,” he said, his tone sharp.Gianna sighed on the other end. “I’ve been looking into Helena’s records like you asked, but I keep hitting dead ends. Someone has been deliberately covering her tracks.”Kenzo’s jaw clenched. “Covering them how?”“Her business dealings, travel history—everything is carefully edited. The Laurents are known for their secrecy, but this goes beyond that. It’s as if she was never anywhere she wasn’t supposed to be. Except…”Kenzo narrowed his eyes. “Except what?”“There’s a pattern,” Gianna cont

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 20

    Chapter 20The morning after the kiss was supposed to be just another day for Kenzo. Yet, as he sat in his office, his fingers absently drumming against the mahogany desk, his mind refused to obey. The taste of Helena still lingered—soft, warm, intoxicating. He hated that he could still feel it.He clenched his jaw and forced himself to focus on the documents in front of him. He had worked too damn hard to build a life free from distractions, free from her. He wasn’t about to let Helena waltz back into his life and unravel everything he had built.But why the hell did it feel like she already had?---Helena woke up feeling satisfied. She had felt Kenzo hesitate during the kiss. That brief second of surrender had told her everything she needed to know—he still wanted her, even if he refused to admit it.But she wasn’t naive. Winning Kenzo back wouldn’t be easy. He was stubborn, guarded, and probably even angrier with her now than before.She pulled out her phone and dialed Arielle."C

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 19

    Chapter 19Kenzo had barely slept. The events of the previous night kept replaying in his head—the moment Helena had kissed him, the way he had pushed her away, the way she had crumpled to the floor after he left. He had seen her do it through the study’s reflective glass wall before he stormed out, but he had refused to turn back. Refused to let himself care.But now, as the sun peeked through his curtains, his frustration boiled beneath the surface. He needed a distraction.Dressed in a crisp black suit, he buried himself in work, answering calls and reviewing contracts, but no matter how much he tried to focus, his mind kept wandering back to her.To make things worse, he found himself checking his phone multiple times, tempted to ask Gianna if she had more information on Helena’s activities. What was she up to now? Was she still wallowing in self-pity, or had she already moved on to another manipulation?Stop thinking about her.Annoyed at himself, he threw the phone onto his desk

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 18

    Chapter 18Kenzo sat in his office, fingers drumming against the glass table as he stared at the open laptop before him. The reports blurred together, numbers and words losing meaning as his mind drifted—again—to Helena.He leaned back in his chair with an exasperated sigh, rubbing his temples. He had been doing this all day—trying to focus, only to find his thoughts slipping back to her. His jaw clenched as the memory of her lips on his replayed in his head. The audacity. The nerve. She had kissed him like nothing had happened, as if she had never walked away, never left him with nothing but a cold signature on divorce papers.A knock sounded on the door. He didn’t answer, but Gianna walked in anyway, holding a tablet.“You might want to see this,” she said, placing it on his desk.Kenzo exhaled sharply, forcing himself to appear indifferent as he picked it up. His eyes skimmed over the screen—and then narrowed. The headline was simple but effective.LAURENT HEIRESS STEPS BACK INTO T

  • Sleep With Me, Dear Husband   Chapter 17

    Chapter 17Kenzo let out a troubled sigh as he leaned back against his seat. He then raised his head up at Gianna who was staring down at him."And what do you think this proves or means, Gianna?" He asked, his brows knitted together in confusion.Gianna shrugged, "I don't know, perhaps she regretted leaving" Kenzo scoffed unbelievably."You think?" He said in a mocking tone."I guess" Gianna pressed her lips together.Kenzo stared at the pictures again, his jaw clenching as he realized Helena must have been lurking around him all this while, but why did she never appear before him? She was his wife, what held her back and why did she decide to watch him discreetly instead?Was this one of her plans? Did she have a goal? Is this somehow connected to her dad?He knew how much effect her dad had on her.But still, he didn't seem to know what to think. If truly Helena wasn't as he thought, what about now? She clearly had a goal, one he's hey to find out the motive behind.He shook his he
