Prologue

Elena is married. She lives with her husband John. He was a factory worker and used to be a sweet guy. She had met him four years ago at a friend’s birthday. They clicked and got married the next year. But for the last two years, things changed. John lost his job but acquired a bad temper. Elena took it upon herself to run the household. She worked as a Primary school teacher and in the evening, she used to work in a supermarket as a part-time cashier.

Elena was worried to death over John’s habit of drinking, betting and playing poker. Last time, when he had been in trouble, she had given up all the money she was saving for a new washing machine. Her continuous poking to find a job has resulted into nothing but a few slaps, so she stopped complaining. It was just a phase; they will pass it. That’s what she was hoping. But deep down she knew she was losing him. I can keep us on track, was her mantra. But would she succeed?

Aslan had everything he wanted. He owned the largest publishing house in East America. Apart from this, he was also an Angel investor and knew what would work and what wouldn’t. His work involved investing in the right companies and counting his money which was overflowing his bank accounts.

Apart from counting money, he loved to fuck. At 29, he knows he is sex on legs and his crooked finger can make the ladies hand over their panties to him. He boasts of this fact  and right now he is looking for a new pastime. When he saw Elena, he knew he had found it.

But she is married. The fact didn’t bother Aslan. He had luck with married women too. Now, he is anxious and his only desire is Elena.

    AslanHis breath hitched and his eyes dilated as he saw the innocent lamb in front of him. He was in his car, going for golfing with his friends. He smiled as he saw her clearly. She was helping kids to cross the road. A kid wanted to say something and she bent down to hear. Perfect ass, he thought. She walked a little but turned to look at other kids and it pushed her breasts against the top. Neither busty, nor slim, just perfect boobs, another box checked in his mind. She had a large bun on her head. So long hair, nice when he will wrap them around his hand, and…… A smile grazed his lips. He saw as she smiled and sun shined in a corner of his heart which was dark for years. He was so turned on by looking at her smile. Her lips were a perfect pink. He growled as the pants became too tight. He never used to waste time on details like a smile but she was different. His mouth went dry, his eyes went hazy, and his mind started conjuring up filthy images of him and her. His only thought at

She dropped her keys. “You are late.” He complained.“I know. Julie was unwell.” She walked to the small kitchen. The sink was full of utensils. He must have made something in the afternoon.“I am hungry.” His voice burnt her like acid. “You could cook.” She retorted.“Then what would you do.” This remark made her come out of the kitchen where he was eating something from a pack but hid it as she approached.“What would I do? Seriously? I work 16 hours, John. The least you can do is to keep the house clean, wash your dishes and make us dinner. But no, all you have to do is taunt me. Here, you are eating something, hiding it from me and telling me what would I do when you do nothing. It’s disgusting.” He was just listening to her but then a slap came and she held her face as she fell down on the floor. He had slapp

But I know that you won’t like it if I throw your drunk husband off this building. Oops, ex-husband. See, it didn’t take him a minute to sign and divorce you. Why are you giving me a hard time?
