Abigail's pov -

Everything is finished. Everything is done. Ema has mercilessly snatched my passion, and my identity as Tuberose, and left me feeling empty and broken. How could she, my closest friend, do this to me? The pain cuts deep, piercing through my heart with every breath I take.

I had placed so much trust in Ema, believing that she would always have my back and that she would support and uplift me as I pursued my dreams. But now, it feels like a cruel joke. She has not only betrayed my trust but has also stolen the love of my life, Mick. The man I once called my husband, my rock, my confidant. Now, he is nothing more than Mr. Pattinson, a name that holds a bitter taste in my mouth. I saw the questions in his eyes.

My mind is haunted by memories of Mick's care and affection, even amidst the conflicts that have arisen between us. I find a glimmer of solace in those memories, a fleeting smile that dances across my face. But no matter how much I cling to those fragments of happ

The weight of her betrayal sits heavily upon my shoulders, and her attempt to shift the blame infuriates me further. Before I can respond to her feeble excuses, the call abruptly ends. Panic sets in as I repeatedly dial her number, desperate to continue the confrontation, but it goes straight to voicemail. The number is switched off.

Just as I start speaking, I notice Michael passing by my desk, a perfect opportunity to put my plan into motion. I fake a sob, hoping to grab his attention. And it works. With a concerned expression, Michael approaches me, and I abruptly end the call and switch off my phone, feigning distress. "Hey, Ema. What's wrong?" His voice is laced with worry, and I have to keep up the act. "Nothing," I responded, pretending to wipe away tears from my eyes. I need to make him believe that something terrible has happened and that Abigail's friendship is my top priority. It's crucial that he falls into my trap. "Tell me, please," he insists, his voice gentle but persistent. I take a deep breath, steadying myself. I need to convince him of my innocence and loyalty. "Please, stay away from me," I say, my voice trembling as I pretend to sob. "Ab

    Michael's pov - I find myself locked in a difficult conversation with Ema, her words hanging heavily in the air. She seems determined to question the strength of my commitment to Abby, my wife. I take a moment to collect my thoughts, searching for the right words to convey my unwavering devotion. "Ema, I apologize if my words sound harsh, but I am deeply committed to Abigail," I say, my voice filled with sincerity. "Despite her insecurities and the claim of being Tuberose, I cannot betray her trust. You hold a special place in my heart, and I respect you greatly. But Abby is my life partner, and I would never even entertain the thought of hurting her. We may be facing conflicts, but I am fully dedicated to working through them and restoring the strength of our relationship." Ema looks visibly uncomfortable, her eyes reflecting a mix of understanding and disappointment. I reach out and gently pat her cheek, a gesture meant to convey reassurance.

After all, it's your life, and I don't have any right to ask you anything, Mick. Oh, sorry, Mr. Pattinson." The sarcasm in her words stings, each syllable an arrow piercing my already wounded heart. I reach out to hold her hand, hoping to bridge the emotional chasm that has grown between us. "Abby, please, let me explain," I plead, my voice cracking with raw emotion. But she pulls away, her hand slipping from my grasp, leaving behind an emptiness that mirrors the void in my soul. She turns away, her gaze fixed on the rain-soaked window, her voice barely a whisper. "You've hurt me in so many ways, Mick," she says, her words laden with sorrow and resignation. At that moment, I realize the magnitude of my mistakes, the devastating consequences of my actions. A wave of regret washes over me, the weight of my choices crashing down upon me. With tears

I plead, feeling the weight of the situation. I don't know why she is so stubborn. She clenches her fist, her eyes burning with stubbornness. "I have no interest in listening to your intimacy with another girl," she retorts, her words hitting me like a punch to the gut. It's clear that convincing her won't be easy. I steel myself, determined to make her hear me out. "Won't you at least hear me out?" I ask, my determination solidifying. She forcefully pulls her hand from my grip, her voice laced with defiance. "No, you can't force me, Mr. Pattinson," she states, uttering my last name with a touch of venom. It stings to hear her say it with such disd

Her lips trembled, and her breath hitched when I licked her lips. It surprises me when she wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me closer. God! Why did you make her so attractive? Those soft lips graze mine, and I find myself biting them. She moans and that makes me craze to do more. I lift her to my hips and slam her against the wall. She groans as her center ground on my crotch. My hands travel on her behind and squeeze them, making her moan loudly, and she drowns her center more aggressively. I turn left to lay her down on the table, keeping her legs wrapped around my waist. Her arms are still wrapped around my neck, and I pull away to look at her. Her eyes are calling me closer. We captured each other's lips again, my right hand started to squeeze her breast while my other hand supported her waist. She moans again wh

The soft glow of moonlight spills into the room, casting a delicate illumination upon her features. It's moments like these when I am reminded of the incredible fortune I have to call her mine. I study her face, tracing the contours with my gaze, taking in every delicate detail. Her eyes closed in peaceful slumber, holding a captivating depth that never fails to draw me in. The curve of her lips, slightly upturned, reveals a hint of a smile, an indication of the happiness that resides within her even in her dreams. With the gentlest touch, I graze my knuckles along her smooth skin, savoring the warmth and softness that lies beneath.

I manage to utter, my voice betraying my fear and uncertainty. "How important is she to you?" The question hangs in the air, heavy with an underlying threat that I can't quite decipher. I quickly gather my thoughts, searching for the right words to respond. "She is my wife's best friend," I answer, trying to downplay the significance of Ema's role in my life. I sense there's more to this conversation, a hidden motive behind the caller's inquiries. "And?" the voice presses, leaving me feeling even more unsettled. "She is also my employee," I reply, my mind racing to understand the intent behind these probing questions. Why is this person so interested in Ema's importance to me? What do they want? "Don't make me freak out, man," the caller warns, their tone dripping with an unsettling mix of menace and frustration. My anxiety

Without a moment's hesitation, she unleashes a resounding yell, "Miiiiiiiiiccccccccckkkkkkkkkk..."In a remarkable display of Olympic-level sprinting, Michael, wrapped in nothing but a hastily grabbed towel, races out of the washroom, his face an exquisite blend of confusion and concern. "Baby, what happened?"Abigail points to her soggier-than-a-sponge state. "Look at my state, damn it. My water's broken! Take me to the hospital!"Michael, in the middle of trying to don a pair of trousers and an inside-out t-shirt, pauses for a moment, contemplating the situation. "Just a moment, let me wear something."But his fashion crisis is swiftly dismissed as Abigail, with a hint of a smile, quips, "You wore the t-shirt's wrong side.""Leave it.

I fail to stay on my knees but his grabs make me get into the missionary position and he is still inside me. He starts thrusting without any warning. I pull him closer. His strong biceps are my pillar now. His joystick is quite large for me to take. Still, it's a pleasure I wanted all the time. There is no manipulation or conspiracy. Only our love and us. He leaves my grip and gets on his knees. Our sweated bodies, heaving chests, and louder exhales are the witness of our pleasure. He brings his dick out and grins at me. "Let's take a 5 minute break. You are so exhausted. I don't want this night to end faster with our tiredness but to keep it alive till dawn or maybe later." He starts kissing me all over my body. I doubt he is leaving an inch to travel his brim against my skin. He again holds my legs and gets on his knees. "It's time for an

I am sucking her ear lobe and she is releasing a slow moan."Did I say no?" I grin at her reply."I want to put you into the swimming pool and get inside you but that might be later. It's not going to be two or three rounds. Maybe the whole night." I am on her neck now. My grip is around her so tight that I will not allow her to move if I don't want to."Anywhere or anything.

I gently brush a stray strand of hair from her face and plant a soft kiss on her forehead."Good morning, my love," I whisper, my voice a gentle murmur in the quiet room. She stirs, her eyes fluttering open, and a smile graced her lips."Good morning, hubby," she replies, her voice a sweet melody that warms my heart. She stretches her body, her bare back exposed, and I can't help but admire the graceful curve of her spine. But as I lean in to kiss her, she covers her chest with her hands, her cheeks flushing a delightful shade of pink.I can't contain my laughter. "Are you serious, wifey?
