A month and a week had passed, Darian could now make use of his arm and he was back to work. He was in his study room, busy with a project when Lena walked in with a plate of fruits."Hey," she smiled at him, dropping the plate on the table. "I brought this for you, I will leave now." She told him, veering around to leave the room."Lena," he called, deterring her from moving. "There is something I would like to discuss with you." He motioned to the vacant armchair. Lena occupied it immediately, eyes on Darian as she awaited what he was about to discuss with her."Is it something serious? Does your arm still hurt? I thought you said you were fine?" She asked unending questions. He shook his head, sometimes he wished Lena would listen to him first before jumping to a conclusion."Lena, it's nothing serious." He sighed, "I have to travel for some days, will that be fine with you?" He asked, noticing how her shoulders sagged when he said that. Lena frowned, "How many days specifically
Darian had been gone for two days now, the house was void and Lena missed him terribly. Lisa had gone back to Dallas to attend to some things that required her attention, Tina was having a break from college, and Lena had decided to give her a break from work too, to rest and have fun.Lena was alone inside the mansion, she wandered around the rooms. From the living room down to the cinema room and all the other rooms she had seen, but they never made use of. Darian's mansion was good for touring, and she did that whenever she was bored alone at home.She was back in the main building, sorting out different recipes for fried chicken in the kitchen when she heard the doorbell ring. She wasn't expecting any visitor, and Tina couldn't be the one ringing the doorbell, and neither could it be any of the bodyguards. She dabbed her hands with a napkin, sauntering into the living room to get the door.She pushed the door open to a familiar face, she glanced at the visitor observantly, trying
Lena made sure she didn't pick up Darian's calls throughout the days he was away. She thought about different things to do before he got back from his trip, she was angry, really angry at Darian for cheating on her with Thelma.She was tossing her clothes into her bag when Darian pulled open the door to their bedroom. He had been calling her for two days but she wasn't picking up, he had to leave what he went for to come back home to see if his wife was good. Even though he got reports from the bodyguards and Tina that Lena was fine, he still wanted to see her and be sure, he was certain Lena would never air his calls unless something had happened.The journey back home was overly long and tiring, he wanted to see his wife so bad to know what was wrong with her. He dropped his suitcase on the bed and moved closer to her. She was aware of his presence, but she pretended not to notice that he was around her. She kept on tossing her clothes in a bag, she suddenly stopped when she didn'
Darian didn't sleep in the room, he knew Lena was mad at him and he chose to respect her feelings by staying away from her all through the night.In the morning, he leaned against the doorway, the courage to open the door had seeped out of him. He had never been like this, he'd always been the authoritative type and he always got away with whatever he did. But with Lena, the story was different. He cheated on her, and he felt so bad about it. Sighing softly, he pressed the doorknob, opening the door to the bedroom. He slipped in and walked towards the bedside.Lena was still sleeping when he got in, he wanted to get close to her, comb her hair with his fingers and place soft kisses on her hairline. But he couldn't do that when she was so mad at him. He fed his eyes with the beautiful sight of her sleeping. He quickly glanced away when she stirred on the bed, she stretched out her arms and let out a soft yawn."Good morning," he greeted her when their eyes locked, hoping she'd reply to
Earlier that morning, Lena had left the house to visit her father. Darian made sure her bodyguards went with her even though she quibbled and told him that she didn't want anything that belonged to him anymore. Darian approached Jay for advice when Lena was away. Though not conversant with matters of the heart, he was able to advise him on a few things to do, to placate his wife and Darian decided to try them out, hoping they'd work out. It'd been four days already and he missed her dreadfully, living in the same house with her and not talking to her was doing a lot of harm to him. He wanted his wife back.He busied himself with mafia affairs while she was away. Even as he worked, he was constantly checking to see if she had arrived. He had different thoughts and somehow, he feared that Lena would not return to his house because she was mad at him. He crouched on a sofa in the living room, patiently waiting for her.Darian was restless as he peeked through the window from time to t
"I thought I lost you," Darian mumbled under his breath."You almost did, I didn't want to ever come back home." She smiled, stroking his fingers."I am sorry once again, do you want me to go on and say sorry a million times?" He locked eyes with Lena for a split second before looking down at her hand that was resting on his.Lena nodded her head, "Yes, Darian. Say sorry a million times.""I thought you said you'd forgiven me." He grimaced, sighing softly."Darian," she pouted, letting go of his hand. He took her hands back and started, "I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry azz going to let me do this?" He glared at her.Smiling sheepishly, Lena nodded her head. "Go on." She nudged him with her hands."How about I do something else that you will like?" He inched closer to her, sealing the space between them. Lena shifted back but Darian didn't let her move too far. "I am sorry, but I am sure you will like this better." He leaned forward, drooping his
Darian put the car to a halt when they arrived at the beach. He looked over to see the stunned expression on Lena's face."You said we were going out, you didn't mention the beach, Darian." She gasped, it'd been a long time since she visited the beach and she had recently talked about visiting with Lisa. She wondered how Darian knew about her longing to visit the beach again. "She tapped her fingers on her lips and jabbed his shoulder. "Why do I feel Lisa has a hand in this?""I asked her and she told me all that I needed to know." He relaxed in the car seat. "I have never loved coming to the beach, but I just had to, because of you."Lena frowned, "You shouldn't do it if you don't like it." She said."Does it matter if it doesn't make me happy? I will do anything as long as it will make you happy." He took her hands in his and placed gentle kisses on them."Why don't you like coming to the beach? It's cool and entertaining here, everyone likes it.""Everyone but me." He shrugged. "Bu
Darian drove the car into the parking lot of a magnificent hotel building, he parked and stayed still in the car for a moment."Why are we in a hotel?" Lena demanded."You know sometimes couples just have to explore. Leave their home to have fun somewhere else. I thought about that and decided to bring you here." He smiled softly. "Do you like it here?""Darian, I have thought about this before and you are doing it. It's cool that we think alike." She looked at him, beaming with smiles."Let's go in, I already reserved a room for us.""Sure," she nodded."Just stay in the car and let me get the door for you." He scooted out of the car the way he did the first time and Lena laughed loudly. He was spoiling her and she really loved every bit of it.They were ushered into the reception by the security guard, Darian took Lena's hand as they walked over to the receptionist's desk. She already recognized Darian when he waltzed in, she just handed the keys to the room he had booked for him an
