All Chapters of Guarded Secrets : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“No it’s fine. You are right. You treat me like I exist. Sometimes my husband does not. You also treat me like I am not property.” There was a long pause she continued. “The trip was a nightmare after you left. He made me make amends with Mr. Alvarez. Then he proceeded to assist the authorities in his arrest. He used me as a pawn. My own husband. You may not know this, but I was born in a small southern backwoods town. My daddy was a coal miner and my momma was a seamstress. We didn’t have much when I grew up, except our word. I’m noticing more and more everyday his word isn’t  meaning much. He lies to me…” She trailed off. “So I say all of that to say, thank you for treating me with kindness.” “Mrs. King this is none of my business, but I do want you to know that if you ever need me in any way I’m here for you.” She put her plate down then and crossed h

He let out a low growl. She looked up to see his face was mesmerized in pleasure. She stuck her tongue in his mouth while she stroked him.  He gently pushed her hand away when his member was ramrod straight. He opened her legs wide and with one powerful thrust he entered her. She cried out, and she prayed it’d always feel this good when he entered her like that..  “Oh My God!” She whispered in a shudder. The intense feeling of pleasure made her hold on to him even tighter and the words she let slip out of her mouth were now a chant with each mounting stroke he gave her. She felt her breathing change and she moaned out again. She knew she was orgasming and by the way he was pumping inside of her he did too. “Oh, Nick, please...I’m….” She gasped as the orgasm

Elayna couldn’t say she was elated to see her husband, because she honestly wasn’t. While on the plane back to her ‘normal’ life she was able to access the news and catch up on the week she had missed. Everything she and Pete had discussed in the car pertaining to her husband and the Alvarez situation turned out the way he said it would. Her husband now owned the majority of one of South America’s largest produce companies.  Alvarez was being tried and convicted on money laundering and drug trafficking charges. No one seemed to associate her husbands ties with him in any criminalistic way, only that he was the one to pick up the pieces and salvage what name was left for the Alvarez family for the sake of their new business relationship. The media had also played out that Elayna had went to a spa retreat in the mountains the same day her husband had left her there with Alvarez. She saw that one papara

A thought she had never considered, until now, when she saw the hurt and jealousy in his eyes.  She thought about him for the rest of the day, and all through her welcome home party. She was going through the motions but making sure to still be the classic Elayna King her husband had pummeled in her since their earlier years together. Bradley’s abuse was becoming dull and routine and she wondered if she could handle three more years with these staunch, snobby people and her husband’s boring stories that always revolved around his money in some way. She didn’t see Nick here tonight and she wondered if it had anything to do with her and what had occured between them earlier today. She tried to shake it off, but knew she couldn’t. He was apart of her now.  The people at her party had no idea what they were celebrating. They had no idea she had been in

  “You two love birds needed a moment alone huh. I hope one day my man-” she gasped. And quickly ran over to her. “Elayna,..Mrs. King, are you alright?” Elayna smiled and nodded. “I will be.”She whispered. “You know, I’m here for you, girl. If you ever need a place to stay or…” She trailed off. “Thank you. I just seem to make him angry lately. He is under a lot of pressure and I shouldn't be adding to it. It will pass...hopefully.” Danita wanted to object but knew it wasn't her place. So instead, she turned her curling irons back on and re-touched up her hair and makeup.
