…”Damn it, Klein! Am I a fool to you? You were with a woman last night! You were drunk! Both of you went to the hotel together. And now you stand there and tell me “something” came up! Is it normal for you, a married man, to go to a hotel with other women?” “How did you know?” “Is that all you have to say?” I looked at him disbelievingly. How can someone say such a shameless thing with a straight face? “Well since you asked, I’m going to tell you. When I rang your phone last night, that bitch was the one who answered. She friggin answered it just to show me she was with you. And your photos with her in the hotel are all over the Internet! That’s how I found out about your affair!” I’m breathing heavily by the time I’m done talking. Klein is staring at me with an unreadable expression. He must be shocked to the core. “First of all, Jasmine is a friend of mine and I prefer you call her in a more respectful way. Second, I was drunk and she only sent me to the hotel. That’s all. I’ll handle the photos. It won’t affect yours or the Conglomerate’s reputation. ”… **********************************************. Klein only realized he had feelings for his wife, Eloise, when she finally got sick of playing the part of an understanding wife in their arranged marriage after his ex-girlfriend showed up. Now he wants to make things right with his wife but it’s probably too late because she already filed for a divorce and wants nothing to do with him anymore. Will he succeed in winning her back or will she find love in another man’s arms?
View MoreELOISE’S POV.“Come in.” I signal when a gentle knock sounds on the room door. Immediately, the door is pushed open and a maid in uniform steps in.“Good evening, Mrs. Wesley.” She greets formally and makes her way over to the bed where I’m seated.“Good evening, Sophia.” I greet, not sparing her a glance because I know exactly why she’s here.“Ma’am it’s already ten pm and you still haven’t had dinner. You need to eat to be able to take your medication. Please.”I heave out a frustrated sigh and curse Logan under my breath. When he brought me home from the hospital, he completely went overboard by rallying all the household servants and telling them I was unwell and needed proper care and attention and since then, I have not rested. They keep checking up on me every now and then. A few of them even ganged up and bathed me because they didn’t want me wetting my wound.It’s a sweet gesture from my home employees and it proves how much they care about me, but right now, I’m too angry an
THIRD PERSON’S POV.“How are you feeling now?” Klein asked Jasmine who was lying on the hospital bed.“A lot better.” She calmly responded and Klein, who was sitting on a chair by her bedside, leaned forward and gently placed his palm on her forehead to check if she was running a fever. But she wasn’t. Her body temperature felt normal so he calmly retracted his hand and nodded his head.“Your temperature is normal. That’s a good sign.” He calmly remarked and she nodded in agreement. “Yeah.” A few minutes later, the door opened and a middle-aged man dressed in a white overall walked into the ward and Jasmine slowly sat upright.“Miss Bradford, your test results came in.” The doctor announced and both Klein and Jasmine shot him expectant looks. “Fortunately, there’s nothing wrong with you. You were probably shocked by the accident and that’s why your blood pressure spiked, but everything is fine with you now. All you need is rest.”“Oh…” Jasmine exclaimed in a small voice and a tiny s
ELOISE’S POV.The world is fading in and out of focus, shades of grey. My mind is being tortured with the memory of the incident that took place in my husband’s office a while ago. Klein walked into his office and saw that two women were lying on the floor probably hurt and there was blood all over and he chose to rush over to check on the woman whom he claims to be his long-time friend and not me, his wife. As if that was not enough, he scolded me and asked his personal assistant to bring me to the hospital while he personally took the so-called friend of his to the hospital.I’m beginning to doubt everything he said to me that night at his parent’s house.Did nothing really happen between him and the girl at the hotel? He was drunk and I clearly recall that when I called, she was the one who answered his phone. The brief conversation I overheard between her and Morgan was spine chilling. He said something about her arrival rekindling old feelings or something of that sort. It felt
ELOISE'S POV.I can't believe she has the nerve to sit in front of me and smile.What I can't believe the most is the fact that Klein brought her here.God, I'm trembling with rage. I want to lay my hands on any part of her body right now. Her hair and her face seem like the best options. But I know better than to do that. So, I snap my eyes shut and release a low, ragged breath, willing myself to stay calm.If I do anything outrageous, I’d be stepping right into the trap she has set for me.“Good morning, Eloise.” She greets in the warmest tone as she rises to her feet and faces me.She knows my name already. She’s prepared.“Good morning.” I greet back in a dry tone, eyeing her from head to toe. “I guess I don’t need to introduce myself. And you are…?” I wear my best fake smile.“Jasmine.” Her smile widens. “Finally, I get to meet the girl who makes so many girls jealous. It's an honour.”I scoff in derision.She's not wrong though. When my engagement with Klein was announced, the i
CHAPTER FOUR.ELOISE’S POV.I’m still in shock as I watch Klein’s car drive out of the premises. Suddenly, my phone vibrates again and I notice that I hadn't realized messages and phone calls were coming in like floods from Maeve. I quickly unlock the phone and go through the messages. “What annoys me the most is the fact that Klein didn't even try to be cautious about his affair. He just shoved it in your face. Such disrespect!”I can feel her rage in her words. I won't be surprised if there was smoke coming out of her ears when she was typing this. Maeve always treats my problems like they were hers. She'd get so upset, I would be the one to beg her to calm down. “I asked Klein and he said she was just his friend.” I write back to her and seconds later, she starts typing. Soon, her message comes in again.“Girl!! Don’t fall for men's lies!! They NEVER forget the ones they didn’t end up with . You gotta keep an eye on that chick. I swear she's after your man!”A wave of nausea wel
CHAPTER THREE.ELOISE'S POV.I felt a wave of nausea just by sitting with these people. “Excuse me.” I blurt out and my legs start carrying me out of the dining room before I lose my temper and do something I'll regret.“Wow, now she just left the table when everyone’s not finished? Klein, this is exactly what happens when you don’t discipline your woman!” Mrs Wesley’s nonsense keeps ringing in the back. I only stop walking when I'm out in the building premises.My heart is as heavy as a rock. I'm taking in short, shallow breaths to try and steady my raging heartbeats and I'm blinking many times to stop the tears burning in my eyes from spilling down.How did I let my life become like this?“Eloise”Speak of the devil and he shall appear.“Eloise.” He calls yet again in his cool tone. Sighing heavily, I snap my eyes open and his face comes to view. He looks calm and collected as always.“Yes.” I answer dryly.“What was that about?”“What exactly?”“Throwing your cutleries and walking
ELOISE'S POV. Swollen, red eyes that burn like fire as I struggle to keep them open. Tear-stained cheeks and sirens spinning in my head. These are the aftermaths of crying myself to sleep last night. Well, this morning I would say. After that puzzling phone call, I called Logan and asked where Klein was. Logan said Klein joined Morgan at the last minute after arriving at the airport, but when I asked who the woman was, he said he was unaware of any woman present. Klein specifically told Logan to not follow him, so he didn’t know where he was afterwards. I even called my best friend, Maeve and asked her if she had any chance knowing where Klein went since she had some connections. But the answer was negative. A painful lump forms in my throat as I rise from the sofa I slept on last night, and see the decorations still hanging on the walls. The unused confetti's are still on the table where I placed them. Nothing has been touched. I prepared all these with so much love and I was exci
