A TRAITOR (TWENTY NINE)
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Wren came to the bistro just as Lexie had finished her second cup of tea. He didn't intend to come too long to pick up Lexie. But suddenly he had to go to the hospital to take care of some things and extend his leave. Then he got stuck in traffic several times around Broadway and Central Park. The tourists are literally taking over the main road that should be a road for cars and other vehicles.
"Lexie, are you okay?"
They hugged very tightly and for a long time, like lovers who had not seen each other for a long time. Lexie leaned her weight on Wren completely and sobbed softly into his shoulder. She was about to cry because she waited too long for Wren, while she was starting to feel like she was the center of attention in that place. And now she felt immense relief that Wren had come. At least she felt safe around Wren.
"You make me worry. You didn't get into trouble from Rafe, did you?”
"Rafe hasn't called me yet. I'm assuming he doesn't know yet

They drive for about an hour and a half. They stopped at a shoe store before entering the Warwick area to buy Lexie some decent boots. Wren couldn't bear to let Lexie wander around in thin-soled loafers in the freezing cold. Wren also bought Lexie a coat when they passed the only clothing store in the area where his father lived. Wren's car slowly slowed into a classic house with a large front yard. The sound of tires hitting gravel creaked loudly outside Wren's VW. Lexie squirmed slowly and opened her heavy heavy eyes. She was incredibly sleepy from waking up too early today and most of her energy had been drained from worrying about her condition. She always checked the rearview mirror as they drove to Warwick. She was only truly relieved when they had entered the Warwick estate and Wren had told her they were safe. After that she unconsciously fell asleep in Wren's car because her worries had evaporated slowly. She slept very soundly. Even when they stopped to buy shoes and coats,

Lexie lifted her head from Wren's shoulder and stared at him intensely. Wren stared back at Lexie intensely, his eyes locked on the sea of chocolate in Lexie's beautiful eyes. Wren's heart skipped a beat. His feelings for Lexie had grown beyond his expectations. He had never reacted this way to another woman. His life is too much filled with things about medicine and how to save other people. He never thought of having a relationship with any woman because he thought he would forever be single and devote himself to serving those who need him. But now it feels different. The temptation to have a woman beside him was tantalizing. If he had someone by his side, he wouldn't feel lonely. His life will be more beautiful. Every day he would have someone waiting for him to come home while preparing him a delicious dinner. Even if he was lucky, he would also have children who would noisily call him daddy. "Wren?" Wren blinked once and saw Lexie looking at him worriedly. The back of his ha

Wren and Lexie were sitting watching tv by the fire when Wren's cell phone rang loudly. It was the first time Wren had gotten a call this afternoon after he had brought Lexie to Warwick. Both Wren and Lexie became wary of the call. Unknowingly they have become paranoid and frightened by a call that suddenly entered Wren's cell phone."Your cell phone is ringing."Lexie was the first to speak to melt the tension between them. But Wren didn't move to reach for his phone which was screaming loudly and instead looked at it like it was a dangerous cobra.“Maybe it was a call from the hospital. You left your patient suddenly to bring me here. Is there a backup doctor who will take care of your duties?”"They should have a backup doctor."The phone kept screaming loudly. Wren was forced to pick up his cell phone and sighed in relief that the call had indeed come from the hospital."What's wrong Lucy? There is a problem?"“N

"Ms. Marris, you don't have to bother coming over with food. Lexie and I are cooking in the kitchen.” Lexie heard Wren's voice at the front door. She poked her head towards the source of the voice, hoping to catch their conversation more clearly. But the sound of the wind obscured everything. Wren's voice was muffled by the gust of wind and in the end she could only hear the sound of her own heart beating other than the wind blowing from outside the house. Lexie considered leaving her onions and going to see Wren. Looks like the one who just rang the bell wasn't Rafe's errand boy. Wren wouldn't have been able to meet that person and have a casual conversation if the person who came was Rafe's men. So Lexie decided to leave her chopped onions behind to follow Wren at the front door. "Who's coming?" When Lexie came to the front door, Wren turned to her and smiled gently. Wren shifted his body to the right and allowed Lexie to see for herself someone who

Betty paced back and forth in the living room, anxiously waiting for Rafe who was supposed to be here any minute. His burly men confirmed Rafe's imminent return. But it had been more than thirty minutes since she had asked the burly men, and Rafe had not shown up at his house. Her heart was very restless waiting for Rafe because she had to talk to Rafe before bad things happened to Kaella. Betty really couldn't imagine what would happen to Kaella tonight and whether tomorrow she would still be able to see Kaella breathing and alive.This afternoon Kaella was suddenly dragged from her room by three burly men while they were taking their afternoon break. At first she didn't know what was going on in Kaella's room because the men knocked too harshly on Kaella's door. Then when she came out to see what was going on, the three burly men had broken into Kaella's room and dragged Kaella out by force. Kaella struggled, trying to free herself from the burly men's grip, but her hands w

Lexie sat on the edge of the bed, facing the mirror brushing her hair which was tangled from running around Wren's father's house with a handful of flour. It's ridiculous and childish. But when was the last time she did that? When did she feel so free to let out an expression and laugh loudly like no weight was hanging on her shoulders?It felt like she hadn't done that in a long time. Have fun, laugh, forget all the sadness and worries that always eat away at her heart. Wren has brought her happiness back. She was so grateful that she had Wren as the only man who could help her out of all this trouble. She already thought of Wren like her own brother. How nice it would be if she had several siblings and not be an only child. Unfortunately her mother only gave birth to one baby, herself, and her mother never got pregnant again since giving birth to her because her mother didn't like her body shape to become stretchy after giving birth.Lexie smiled at her own reflectio

Rafe threw his cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his shoe. The cigarette sizzled under the soles of his shoes and a second later the embers went out. Just now he saw Lexie standing by the window and looked surprised when she looked at him. Either Lexie really saw it or Lexie only saw the line of trees standing behind him, which was clear that he had managed to find Lexie's position. Wren was such a fool to think he was stupid and couldn't find them. Tsk, he could even find Lexie quickly if he wanted to. But he would play with Lexie first to make her suffer.At least he had touched Lexie to satisfy his longing. Lexie's lips taste amazingly delicious. He could barely get away from Lexie when she unconsciously kissed him back. Lexie recognized his kiss. Lexie reacted as he sucked on her lips and licked her sexy lips with his tongue. He also managed to give Lexie a kiss on the neck to mark it. He wondered what Lexie would think if she looked in the mirror tomorrow

Through the half-opened window he waved slowly at Lexie who was cooking at Ms. Marris’s house. Lexie was standing in the doorway of Ms. Marris’s kitchen, using an apron over the layers of the sweater she was wearing. Lexie's cheeks were flushed red from the cold, but Wren saw it as something beautiful and adorable. Lexie looked at him gently behind her curly eyelashes. The longer he falls into her deadly charm.Yeaah, how could I not have noticed her charm in the first place?Wren cursed his own stupidity because at that time he was too indifferent to Lexie. At that time what filled his mind was how to find a woman who was in accordance with Rafe's wishes. There was nothing else on his mind other than that, so he was blinded by his strange ambition. He was pushing himself too hard to find the right woman for Rafe, solely to repay all of Rafe's kindness because Rafe had helped him so much for his career. Without Rafe he could not take short classes

Lexie watched Rafe leave in silence. Guilt gripped her heart because Rafe saw her with Justin. Although it is unlikely that anything will happen between her and Justin, but Rafe seems quite jealous of their closeness. She was just grateful that Xena was sleeping soundly now. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if it had been Xena. "Come on Lexie. We have to hurry because we have wasted quite a bit of time.” Justin led her to the elevator. His arms were still slung over her shoulders and he pressed the lobby button for both of them after the elevator doors closed. "Is he still rude?" "What?" Lexie asked looking up. "Your husband. I used to see you cry because of that man. Is he still as rude as before?” "Sometimes." Lexie answered half dreamily. No marriage is absolutely flawless. There are always fights and arguments in every marriage relationship. Even she couldn't keep herself away from all domestic troubles. Rafe or Xena h

"Dance with me, lady?"Lexie looked up, left her cherry juice and smiled gently at the man who had just reached out in front of her. She didn't waste the opportunity to dance with this handsome man and took his outstretched hand in front of her face."Of course. It's an amazing party and I can't miss dancing with a guy like you." Lexie smiled gently.The man led her to the center of the ballroom, joining another couple who had already started their dance. His wide palm gripped Lexie's tiny palm which was so soft. He smiled widely at everyone, as if he was celebrating his success in persuading a princess to dance with him."Beautiful music. Thank you for asking me to dance."Lexie pressed herself against the man, holding on to his sturdy shoulders and they began to move in sync with the melodious classical music. The soft violins play beautiful notes with the rest of the orchestra. Lexie closed her eyes while following every movement made by her dan

Tonight was really fun for Rafe because he was in the midst of a harmonious complete family. There is a father-in-law who is so kind to him, a lover or a future wife or maybe his wife and an adorable son. They had dinner together happily at the dining table. There were loud laughter from his father-in-law and spoiled whimpers from Archer if Lexie started forbidding him to do this and that. Everything seemed so good to Rafe that he was reluctant to return to his miserable life in New York. If he could, he wanted to be in the midst of this family forever. And in order to make his wish come true, he needed to improve the conditions between himself and Lexie. He needed to make it clear to Lexie that he wanted a complete family and didn't want to live apart like he used to. “Archer is asleep?” Rafe deliberately waited for Lexie in front of her bedroom. Tonight he was supposed to sleep in Kaella's room, but he hadn't been in Kaella’s room since then and had just stood by t

Fifteen minutes later they arrived at Lexie's beautiful two-story house filled with various kinds of plants in the front yard. Rafe was almost surprised to see so much change in the house. The last time he came here, the house had no woody trees. But now the front of Lexie's house was filled with giant pots filled with woody trees that were struggling to grow into giant-sturdy trees. The flowers that were once only planted in two small pots, have grown into a bunch of colorful flowers that have been transplanted into the ground. "There have been a lot of changes in this house." “My father used the garden next to the house as a garage because it wasn't safe to park the car just on the side of the road. Sometimes there are naughty children who scribble on the car body with spray paint. Some time ago our neighbor was screaming hysterically because his Mercedes Benz had been scribbled with a series of obscene swear words.” “Your father has done the right thing as

Rafe stepped off the plane and was greeted by a light drizzle in late summer. The soothing scent of wet earth relaxes him for a moment. A little man who will be his driver today to go to Lexie's house has just opened an umbrella near the plane steps, getting ready to umbrella him. Rafe actually had absolutely no problem walking in the rain. This is really refreshing and can wash away a little bit of his anxiety that is thickening more and more. "Thank you. Before we go to Lexie's house, I will pick up my son at his day care. He'll be home in thirty minutes." The man nodded after handing the umbrella handle to him. Rafe walked slowly behind the man to his car which was parked near the hangar. He inhaled strongly the scent of summer which was about to fade and be replaced by the cold, gray scent of autumn. Time flies so fast, and he hasn't been able to summon Xena back so he can surface like he used to. "Please come in, sir." The man grabbed the handle

Lexie stepped aside for a moment from the commotion of the bridal shower which was really noisy and excited. Tomorrow morning Kaella will marry her lover, and today will be her last day as a single. So everyone was excited to have a party in one of the finest suits at a five-star hotel in Charleston. Her cell phone has been ringing loudly ever since. She had ignored the call because she was pinning the crown for the bride-to-be and taking pictures with the rest of Kaella's friends. Now she would pick up Rafe's call and talk to him because Rafe must have called her for something important. “Hi Honey, sorry for not picking up your call. I was at Kaella's bridal shower. It's very noisy in here. Tomorrow you will come to her wedding right?” Lexie finally found a comfortable and quiet place to talk to Rafe. While everyone was partying like crazy in Kaella's suit room. She has a balcony which is very quiet and with a beautiful view of the city of Charleston. Folly Beach wa

Xena looked to the side, at the statue of the cross that soared up to the church ceiling. He imagined the look on his face that looked ridiculous as he said those bullshit words. There is no love in his heart. It should be like that. But strangely he felt love when he was with Lexie. At first he felt loved, and more and more he felt like loving. It was the most complicated reciprocal relationship he had ever experienced. His week-long trip to Chicago wasn't strictly business. He purposely distanced himself from Lexie to reflect on all this. Does he really love Lexie? Did he really want to be with Lexie forever? And after a week of excruciating contemplation, he finally came to the one answer that he wanted all of that. He wanted to love Lexie, he wanted to be with Lexie, and he wanted to make Lexie happy. Unfortunately this body does not belong to him. He couldn't be selfish by removing Rafe forever from this body. And he had to do something to fix all of this."Xena... are y

There are so many things that it can sometimes be confusing to the point of misleading. Some of them sometimes appear in the form of secrets that are difficult to understand. Like Xena and Rafe who are very elusive. Even though they live in the same body, they have two separate elements. Had they come together, the two of them would probably have been a formidable fusion of two elements. It would create a man with the perfect personality. It should be like that. But in reality it is not easy to unite two elements that are already separated.Lexie stood on the balcony alone looking up at the starry night sky. Tonight the air is very warm, suddenly she couldn't sleep because she was thinking about many things. First she thought of Xena who suddenly disappeared without a word. The rest of the day she spent thinking about the man's whereabouts now and the possibility if Xena and Rafe fused into one unified element. It would definitely be great if they could unite to occupy their

"Wren! I can't believe it's you." Lexie hugged Wren very tightly after she opened the front door wide and told Wren to come in. It's really an unexpected surprise that she can meet Wren who is now super busy. After a week of living in New York, Lexie finally got to meet Wren. "Long time no see and you are getting more beautiful and sexy." Wren chuckled as he patted Lexie's shoulder a few times. God only knows how badly he missed this woman. He had lost track of Lexie ever since Lexie disappeared and Rafe gave him a stern warning not to try to get someone to track her down. "You say I'm sexy? No way. I got fatter after giving birth. Come in." "But you actually look sexier. You used to be so skinny, you know. I prefer your new look." Wren studied Lexie's body from head to toe. Her long hair has now been cut shorter with a very beautiful wavy style at the ends. Lexie gained weight of course because her arms and curves were now more beautiful than
