Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Terrence was driving aimlessly in the road still baffled by Athena's words. He had been in the streets for a few hours already while he kept racking his brain but he only earned a slight throbbing of his head.
'Love! Do I love her?'
That word is still sinking into his head. Who could satisfy his curiosity about it? After thinking for a short while, Anton, his brother-in-law who is also his close friend suddenly pops out in his mind. He dialed his number and called him out for a drink. Anton agreed without hesitation and decided to meet him in the Monroe bar.
After an hour, Terrence found himself sitting in his reserved VIP room on the second floor. He glanced at his wristwatch and stepped closer towards the window glass facing on the dance floor. A sigh escaped from his lips as he watched the numerous ladies and men sha

"Fuck!" Sam cursed inaudibly. Caught by Terrence's piercing gaze, he couldn't help giving out an apologetic smile. "Terrence fucking Adams!" Athena sneered. Her eyes flickered sharply glaring at the man who came to interfere in her business. Terrence strode forward and glared at the unknown man coldly who pester's his wife. "Manager Wilson, you had such a good taste in women, huh?" He mocked as he inched closer to his angry wife. "BossâŚ" The guy shivered, lowering his gaze down in embarrassment.

Terrence felt satisfied with his wife's submission. He sighs and finally stops tormenting her and kisses her on the forehead lovingly. He never had done such a gesture like this to his so-called girlfriend and he found it rather pleasing on his side. Being with his wife doing things like he did was something he regretted not doing before. He even wondered if he had gone nuts before to hate her for Hannah's sake."Be good, baby. I'll tell Anton and Sam that we're heading home ahead of them, okay?" He whispered tenderly as he stood up stuffing himself inside his jeans and buckled his belt back. He then fished out his mobile phone and dialed Anton's number telling him that he was taking his sister home.Athena nodded and emitted a long sigh of relief.

Athena went silent for a while trying to digest her husband's words. She massaged her temples repeatedly feeling a sudden surge of headache hitting her brain cells. How the heck would she be able to get her intentions hidden when her husband was trying to add some salt on her wound by threatening her? He clearly is making things difficult for her! He wants her to get furious and explode, isn't he? "Say something, Mrs. AdamsâŚ" the man urged as he chuckled while observing her contorting facial expressions. He seemed amused at her reaction that he couldn't help teasing her. "How on earth⌠did you come up with such an idea?" Athena took a deep breath to calm her raging nerves down. She would probably kick his ass hard if he couldn't give her a good explanation for her questions. Terrence threw her in his bed without further ado lea

"Please don't tell me that I'm hearing things accurately?" Athena jolted up from her laziness. The words 'personal assistant' make her feel uneasy."Accurate as it is, baby. You will be my assistant for a month." Terrence couldn't help chuckling seeing her so furious."What the hell? You're planning to put me on your payroll?" Athena cursed furiously while giving him a death stare."Come on, baby. I am not that tolerant of curses for breakfast." Terrence warned, throwing the blanket from his body. He jumped off the bed and crossed his arms over his chest while watching his furious wife. "Watch your pretty little mouth or elseâŚ" he trailed off his words and winked."Or else what? Is this all you can do? Always threaten me to get what you want?""Of course not! I'm also capable of other things that would make you exhausted and you know better than I do that you belong to me whether you like it or

"Bend overâŚ" Terrence ordered and brought up the hem of her towel just above her waist as he released himself from his robe. He was throbbing hard. His arm circled her midsection holding her tighter as he entered inside her in one deep and hard thrust. "Oh! Damn it! You really messed everything up with me, Athena. I'm getting addicted to thisâŚ" he muttered and began to move intensely behind her."TerrenceâŚ" she moaned erotically. Her hands pressed flat on the door hard for support."You can't come yetâŚ" he warned. His voice turned deep and husky while panting hard.She bit her lower lip and held her breath. His deep grunts and his chiseled chest that bumps on her back surprisingly pleased her. She wants to face him and see how he looks at her while dealing with their intense desire for each other.

He was about to open his door but something flashed in his mind, making him halt halfway.Athena also unbuckled her belt and was about to jump off from her seat but her husband was fast to catch her wrist. She gave him a questioning look. "What's wrong?" She asked."The last time we came here, we were good to each other. When we left we were arguing and even fighting. I don't want that to happen again, do you hear me? No matter what you see or hear from her, don't let them get into your head. I'm with you on this. Do you understand?" He explained. Patience and tolerance radiated in his entire demeanor while waiting for her assurance.

Perhaps Athena enjoyed the process of her make over so much as she didn't notice that she had been sitting in her comfy chair for almost three hours. If not for Vincent who came up to inform them that the car has arrived, she wouldn't realize that her husband has been gone from her sight for a couple of hours already. Curious, she asked the butler. "Uncle where was he?" "You mean your husband?" "Yes. Have you seen him?" "Ah," Vincent smiled. "He went to get the car ready for you and he also left a few instructions." "Instructions?" Her newly trimmed brows raised as she asked. "What instructions if I may ask?" "He said that he won't be here to pick you up and that someone else will do that for him. He will wait for you at the venue, Mrs. Adams." Vincent narrated fluently according to Terrence's instructions earlier. "Since that was the case, please tell the driver to wait for a little bit longer." She said without thinking too much.

Unbeknownst to Hannah, her movements were being monitored fom the outside. To make sure that she won't do something horrible during her detention period, Terrence asked someone to keep an eye on her. Even her pregnancy was being reported to him and he firmly instructed that no matter what happened, the innocent child must be born safe as it has nothing to do with what she has done. Therefore when she suggested for an abortion, the nurse shook her head and refused her request right there and then saying that... "I'm sorry, Miss. We're not abortionists. That was against the law of human and God." Hearing this, Hannah laughed. "Do you think I still care about that goddamn law? Look where I am." She said, "I'm here in jail so why should I give a sh*t about the law?!" "Miss," the nurse sighed helplessly and replied, "...why do you sound like you have lost all your hope? Have you known that you might given the chance to come out if you truly show your sincere repentance? You're convicte

Ashley felt her knees turning jelly when his cold and dominating voice rang in her ears. 'What was he doing here?' she wondered. The man's oppressing aura was too much for her to bear, turning the usually peaceful atmosphere into tense. However, this was the area that men are strictly forbidden according to the establishment's rules and regulations therefore she has all the freedom to move whether he likes it or not. Moreover, working hours has long been ended after he dismissed her harshly at the office so why was he still barking at her at this hour?

This is the moment of her privacy and she had all the freedom to do whatever she wanted therefore she turned around without hesitation and spoke in an ironic manner.

Ashley was busy sorting out the documents in her office when her boss barged in without further ado which caused her hands to halt and tremble in nervousness especially when his emotionless voice began to rang in her ears. "Aren't you done yet? What took you so long?" Anton asked her coldly. She swallowed hard before she replied. "Y-yes, Mr. Stanford. It was done now." "Put them all in the safe." He barked. "Hurry up! We don't have much time left!" Ashley nodded as she stood up. In one swift, she took all the documents from her table then she scurried out, heading towards the CEO's office. Anton eyed her sharply while following behind. When she reached inside, she bit her bottom lip in frustration while scolding herself in silence. 'Ashley Mills!
