Chapter 3: Doubts

Naera was excited to for her dinner date with her husband later. She was now putting make-up on her face. She decided to call her best friend, Yumi.

"Hey, girl! How was it?" She can't stop smiling while putting on an eyebrow liner.

"Yumi, you were right! He remembers!"

"Haha! Told you, you should be confident in yourself." She smiled. She was lucky to have a friend like Yumi. She's always right when it comes to his husband as if she knew him like the back of her hand. Well, Yumi knows a lot about men since she had a lot of boyfriends when they were in high school.

"Thanks, Yumi. I'm really happy that you're always there for me." She was really sincere when she said that. Since day one, her friend remained truthful to her.

"We're friends, It's normal." She nodded and sighed. If not for Yumi, she might already anger her husband.

"I'm preparing for our date later. He said he's going to take me out to eat dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary," she said happily. There is no response from the other line for a few minutes. Naera's eyebrow furrowed and confused. "Yumi?"

"Oh! Oops, sorry. Doing some work. Where are you two going?" For some reason, she can detect some annoyance in Yumi's voice.

"Yumi, is everything okay? Did I anger you by any chance?" she asked reluctantly. Naera was afraid to anger her friend because Yumi bears grudges and it will take time before she can reconcile with someone she fought with.

"No, no, I'm annoyed by my boyfriend for not telling me that he's going out with a friend." Naera's mouth formed an 'o' shape.

"I see. I hope you work it out, but I know you would. You know how to please men." She giggled. She was thinking that she needs to learn from her bestfriend.

"Haha. You bet I am. Well, I need to talk with my boyfriend, Naera. Talk to you later," Yumi said. Naera nodded.

"Sure. Later, Yumi!" Their call ended. Naera sighed and put down her phone. She started to put on make-up again but then there something clicked in her mind. Yumi's perfume smells like lilies. But she shakes her head. Why did she think about her friend like that? Of course, her best friend and husband would not do that to her. Right?

Yumi's eyes rolled and looked at the man who was working at his table seriously.

"Really? You're going to take her out without telling me?" Yumi asked annoyed and sat down on the sofa near the man. The said man was Marco Klein, Naera's husband. Naera didn't know that she was being cheated on by her husband and Best friend. Marco looked at Yumi and

"C'mon, don't be like this Yumi. She's my wife, we already talked about this." Yumi rolled her eyes. She can't believe why Naera's husband doesn't want to divorce her.

"Why? So that you can torture her with your sweetness? My goodness, Marco! We're doing this for 2 years now, and I am sick and tired of being her friend! She's so boring, always talking about books-"

"Well, that is her Job," Marco said with a raised eyebrow. She rolled her eyes. Of course, she knows it.

"Yeah, I know. But still, are you not tired of her?"

"She's doing house chores, so I think it's fine. Besides-" Marco gestured for Yumi to come to him. Yumi stands up and walked towards Marco and sat on his lap. "Doesn't she look like a maid? Soon, we will get a divorce and I will marry you."

"Make sure you do your promise?" Marco nodded with a smile.

"Of course, come here. Don't get upset anymore. If not for you telling me that it was our anniversary, she will be fussy again and pouting endlessly for the whole week!" Yumi laughs and pinches Marco's cheeks.

"Then if you don't want these unnecessary anniversary things with her, then divorce her already!" This time, she was the one who pouted. Marco smiled and kissed Yumi's cheeks.

"Soon, very soon." Then Marco kissed Yumi's lips hungrily. He started to undress and laid her on the table. Raised her legs and position himself in between. He will satisfy her tigress instead of worrying about a wife he doesn't want.

Daemon went to a restaurant to eat with one of his flings. Of course, he doesn't want to neglect them even if he is busy.

"Do you want to stay at my place?" The woman in front of him wearing such a revealing dress and is proactive. Daemon, a demon with raging lust can't resist her.

"Sure, I won't say no to that," Daemon said with a smile on his face. He won't say no if the meat is already in front of him ready to be eaten. He stood up and walks toward the woman and kissed her on her neck until something caught his eye. Why does that woman come to his view again? He stopped and observed the woman she saw last night. Yesterday, she was wearing a hoodie and pants, now she is wearing a navy blue dress with a silver necklace and 3-inch heels. Her room is across them so he can see what she is doing.

"Daemon, what's wrong?" The woman asked. Daemon pulled away from her and his eyes didn't leave Naera's body. Even though the dress is out of fashion, it didn't feel like it was out of place.

"There is nothing wrong, it's just that..." Daemon looked at the woman he was with. "I think I need to do a rain check... Dom!"

"Yes!" Dom went inside the room with a smile on his face. Dom is equally handsome but nothing like Daemon. He is the kind of handsome that is full of charms unlike Daemon is angelic-like but with fierceness. Daemon traced the woman's jawline with his index finger.

"Please do make her satisfied and keep her safe. I don't want her to get hurt or anything. See you again, darling!" Daemon said and left the room to get to the other side where Naera is sitting and waiting for her husband. Daemon knocked on the door and went inside. Naera looked but was disappointed when she saw that it wasn't her husband but also surprised when he saw a handsome man in front of her. But she also wonders why is this man here.

"Who-"

"Sorry, I noticed that you're alone. I'm in that room across from yours. Mind if we can chat for a bit?"
