"I am sorry, Lena. I was so selfish, I didn't think of you before going with Harrison." Lisa hugged Lena on the couch, ruffling her hair. "Do you forgive me?" She asked, squinting her puppyish eyes."Hmm, did you have a good time with him?" Lena asked slyly. "Don't lie to me." She glared at Lisa who hung her head lowly, a small smile playing on her lips. She looked up at Lena and nodded her head in affirmation. "Good, that's what I want to hear from you. What are your plans for him?""Common, it was just a fling. I don't have anything serious in mind towards him, duh." She hissed."So, you used him, huh?" Lena grinned. "Wait, does Darian know about this? Did you tell him anything about what happened between you two?" She covered her mouth, her eyes twinkling in anticipation of Lisa's answer to her question. She knew she was smart and would manoeuvre her answer if Darian asked her."I told him we went to get something. Don't worry, he didn't dwell too much on that, he was dead worried
Darian couldn't take his eyes off his wife. She was curled up in the bed, sleeping peacefully with his hoodie wrapped around her body. He smiled, ambling over to the bedside. He dropped the keys atop the cabinet and went into the bathroom to have a quick bath. He had to be at the casino that morning. A lot of ammunition was delivered the night before, and Gaius had suggested that they meet up in the casino later in the morning to distribute to each member of the Dawson family and also to sort out the ones they wanted to sell out to other mafia families."Good morning," he walked closer to her side of the bed, placing a soft kiss on her cheeks.Lena moaned, rolling on the bed. "When did you get back?" She asked, carefully kneading her hand on her eyes."I just got back," he sat on the bed, looking at her as she stretched her arms. The hoodie she wore the night before was oversized, hiding her hands. She rolled the sleeves up and squinted her eyes as she stared at her husband. "Did you
Darian picked up his phone from the drawer when they got back into the bedroom. He dialled Gaius' number and pressed the phone to his ear."Good morning, Darian." Gaius greeted him.Darian sighed, staring at Lena as she applied the lotion to her skin. He licked his lips and smiled at her when she sent him a wink."I can't make it to the meeting today. Can we reschedule for tomorrow?" He asked Gaius, his eyes still on Lena. She took the towel off her body and stood in front of him, naked. He coughed out, clearing his throat. What was she trying to do to him? He thought as Gaius spoke into the phone, but he didn't hear what he was saying. "Can you please repeat yourself?" "Why not today? You know this is urgent, right? We have to give out the weapons today after which we will deliberate on how to solve the issue at hand. Is there something important that you want to attend to?" Gaius asked."Yes, Gaius. My wife needs my attention and I'd like to be with her today. I will call a meetin
Two weeks later, things had gotten better. Lena's dad was fine and she was back in the house; after the Doctors discovered that his sickness mildly resurfaced, leading to the cardiac arrest he experienced that caused him to pass out. She had stayed with him at the hospital for one week, never for once leaving his side. Darian had been an understanding husband, he visited them every day to check on her and made sure they were doing fine. They were discharged from the hospital after the Doctor assured them that Gavin was fine and could go home. Lisa had been supportive too, she took a break from writing her novels to stay with Lena the whole week. Lena was grateful for the gift of Darian and her best friend in her life, she couldn't ask for more, they were the absolute best.Darian had worked extremely hard the whole time Lena was at the hospital. He finally got information about the invisible man who was responsible for Lena's abduction and the atrocities that had been committed in
A smile tugged her lips as she looked at her man. She sat on the bed, patiently waiting for him to be done with his bathroom business. When he was back in the room, she offered to clean his body with a towel."Do you like to see me naked?" He asked when she draped a towel around his waist. "You find me sexy, don't you?"Lena blushed, leaving the towel on his waist. "You are my husband.""Is that the answer to my question?" He ran his fingers on her skin and pulled her closer. He gazed down at her, his eyes piercing into hers. There was a sudden rush of oxytocin inside of her. This man would be the death of her if she wasn't careful, she thought subconsciously."You are the sexiest man alive, Darian and you are mine." She snapped her fingers, fawning at him. "How has it been?" She squinted her eyes."A year with me, how has it been?" He expatiated."Crazy and amazing but I wouldn't want it any other way. I love to be with you and I hope that we spend more years together." She mouth
Readers' discretion is advised.Please do not read if you find explicit content offensive.Lena compelled Darian to see a movie with her after dinner. He did it to celebrate their anniversary. He played a scrabble game with her, all in the name of celebrating their wedding anniversary. Lena wasn't surprised he was so good at Chess, he beat her hands down, but she won in other games of scrabble and charades. It was fun all night for them—she made sure of that.It was almost midnight and they were back in the bedroom. He dragged her to stand in front of the full-length mirror, standing behind her."Let's spend many more years together, Darian. In happiness and good health." She leaned back in her chest.Darian smiled as he stared into the mirror. He gently arranged a ringlet of her hair, tucking it behind her ear, he bent a little to kiss her neck."Do you know what couples do on the night of their anniversary?" She clamoured, a sheepish grin plastering her face."What do they do?" He r
Lena woke up to no one by her side, she and Darian had slept together the night before, but now he was gone. She noticed that he had been acting strangely since she told him she loved him, it'd been days since they celebrated their anniversary and she said the love words, but Darian had changed towards her. Even if he would not admit to it, she knew that he was drifting away. She loved him, that was the truth and she didn't know what else to do or how else to go about it, she loved him.She got out of bed, dragging her feet around the bedroom. She walked out to check if Darian was in his study, but it was empty. She could have scented his cologne if he was around. Lena sighed, walking back to the bedroom, she sighted Tina curled up on one of the couches in the living room. She ambled to the living room to ask if she had seen Darian."Good morning, ma'am." Tina greeted when she spotted Lena."Tina, how are you?" She gave her a small smile."Very well, ma'am. The boss said I should let
"What are you doing here?" Darian clamoured again, fury marring his facial expression. "I have seen the reason I am here." Thelma beamed with a sly smile. "You look great by the way." She said, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly. That only worsened the anger that was surging through him as he glared at her."You have to leave now." He told her."I just arrived, why would you want me to leave now? I haven't seen you for days, you've not been picking up my calls and—""Jay, leave us," Darian commanded. Jay bowed his head, turning to leave them to talk. As he wandered away from them, he wondered what was happening between them."Darian, I have been calling you for days." She attempted to touch him, but he cringed, and she sneered. "And now you are acting up again, do I disgust you?""Yes, you do! What do you want from me and how did you even know that I'd be here?" He glared at her, his jaw clenching hard. His temples were starting to crease, he was tired of her."Er," Thelma smiled.
