Chapter 161

My shoulders tense and my mind blanks as I think about Juris and the quality time she has just spent with Nek.“Not really, I just went out” I say, giving him that bit of information without bothering to tell him about my location. “Alright” I hear him mutter to myself, “so where are you? Do you need to pick me up?” He asks.“There’s no need, I’m fine” I say, quietly. I can feel him nod to himself before speaking up, “so when would you be back?” He asks.“Not today” I quietly mutter, but loud enough to hear me. “You aren’t coming back home today?” He states, “yeah, I’ll be back on Monday. I’ll see you at work Monday morning”I hear him take a deep breath as he struggles to remain composed, “please come back home now”. I mentally roll my eyes, “I’ll see you at the office on Monday. Goodbye” I say, ending the call before returning to the sitting room.Hema is sprawled against the couch as he watches tv, “way to make yourself comfortable, there’s literally no room for me” I say in a sarc

I walk into the office with my head held high, the whispering has reduced but I can tell people are still gossiping about me. I press the button to the 14th floor as I step inside the elevator.“I hope today will be a lot better” I mutter to myself as I step out of the elevator. I head straight to Nek’s office as it’s usually my ritual to greet Nek every morning before heading to my office and to check on the things he needs for the day.“Good morning Nek” I say, letting myself in after knocking once. “Good morning” he replies, with a smile on his lips. “Is there anything you need?” I ask, keeping it professional.His smile slowly eases away, “I’ll let you know if I need anything” he says. I nod, “okay, I’ll be in my office if you need me”. “Have you sent my work schedule for the day?” he asks. He knows that I normally send it after arriving at work but I guess it’s just an excuse to talk to me, “I’ll send it the moment I get to my office”.I walk out of his office and head straight

“So why did you call me into your office?” I ask, switching the conversation. He sighs at my stubbornness, “I need us to look at this business proposal together”.“But I usually do that alone, I can handle it on my own”. He nods, “I know but this proposal is for a very important client”. I raise my eyebrows at him, I’ve done many proposals for different levels for client’s so I'm experienced in all, but I remain quiet.“Okay sure” I say, giving in. Nek and I spend the entire afternoon working on the proposal until it fits Nek’s standard.“I’ll send it to the client” I say, rising to my feet. He grasps my hand and pulls me into his laps, “let’s have lunch together” he says, with a smile on his lips.I playfully roll my eyes at him, I can’t help but give into him, he’s just too charming. “Alright, but don’t try anything funny”. He raises his hand in the air, “not on Mrs Taina Bellos watch, but I can get a kiss” he says, placing a kiss on my lips. “I’ve missed you” he says, looking into

I head home alone since Nek informed me that he'll be working late today and that he’ll be going to meet Juris for dinner from the office.The ride home is silent and it feels like the driver is constantly staring at me, like he knows what’s going on between Nek and I. But I can’t be so sure, I’ve been feeling paranoid about everyone and everything.To be honest, I really wish I was at Tela's house, I enjoyed myself so much when I stayed over there for three days. Hema was a strong shoulder to lean on, he didn’t ask too much questions, he just stayed by my side.“Thank you” I say, getting down from the car and heading straight into the house. The smell of peppered meat wafts through my nose but I push the thought of eating the way as I’m in no mood to eat.“Good evening” Andrea greets with a smile on my lips. “Good evening” I say smiling back at her, I hand her my bags, “please could you drop this in my office”.She nods and makes her way upstairs. I head straight to the room shared b

I feel very insulted, like someone just slapped me. “Live here!”, he nods, “just for some time”. I look at him squarely in the eye, “ you want your ex girlfriend to live with your wife, do you hear how that sounds to me”“It makes me feel disrespected” I say, my voice low, only loud enough for his ears to catch. I walk nearer to him, closing the distance between us, “I guess I don’t have a say, it’s really not my choice. After all it’s your house” I say, pinning my gaze on him.He nods in response. I turn to leave the room but I turn back, moving closer to him, “you know what they say. First friends then lovers” I whisper into his ears before finally leaving the room.The moment I step out if the room, my legs buckle, the strength I had received to face them immediately leaves me and I feel instantly weak. Andrea rushes over to me as I drop to the floor, I wave her away, “don’t bother, I’m fine”.Fully understanding, she nods and leaves the area, not wanting to disturb me. I pull out

*ring* *ring*I sleepily search for my phone, following the sound of the noise. My hands land on the table by my bedside, “hello” I answer, not looking at the caller ID as my eyes are shut closed.“Where are you” Nek says, anger apparent in his voice. I immediately sit up, his voice immediately washing away every ounce of sleepiness I felt. “Am I late for work” I say, pulling the phone away from my ears as I check the time.*5am*“Why are you calling me at this time” I say, slightly annoyed that my sleep was disrupted. “Where are you” he repeats, ignoring my question.Memories of yesterday flood my mind and my lips form into a hard line, “I’d like to keep my location private” I respond, knowing fully well that would annoy him further.“I’m not playing games Taina, where are you?” He asks, “if that’s all you’re going to ask, then can I kindly end the call. I need to get more sleep, as I have work in the morning”.I hear him sigh, “alright, we will talk later in the morning at the offic

“Why are you awake at this time?” I say in shock at the sight of Hema seated at the dining table. He gives me a lazy smile, “for your information, I wake up quite early” he answers playfully.“And I wanted to drive you to work,” he says, pulling out the chair beside him. “Why? Aren’t you busy with other things?” I ask as I take a seat beside him, not wanting to inconvenience him with my presence.He smiles, “don’t even think that way. You’re not inconveniencing me with your stay here, I like you being here. Even though it’s for a short period, I like you living with me, it’s fun!” He says, before popping a piece of pancake in his mouth. I playfully roll my eyes at him, “thank you”. The lady that I met earlier this morning, hands me a plate of pancakes and a bottle of syrup, “thank you” I say, happily, my heart feeling suddenly lighter.“Let’s go, I don’t want to be late for work” I say, dropping my fork as I chew the last bite of my pancake. I intertwines our hands and pull him towar

Juris acts shocked and she slumps against the chair. “I was only saying my mind” she says, trying her best to act all innocent. I drop my hand and smoothen my dress, before I turn to face Nek.From the way he’s avoiding meeting my gaze, I can tell that he knows that I’m more than upset, I’m furious. I almost did something that I thought I’d never do in a million years.If Nek hadn’t stopped me, I’d have slapped Juris across her face not caring what the consequences would be. My eyes flick to Juris, I can tell she’s inwardly rejoicing at the fact that Nek supported her, coupled with the fact that she now knows that Nek and I’s marriage is a contract marriage.“Taina” Nek says, calling out my name and forcing my attention to him. “Yes” I answer, firmly. All I want to do, is to return to my office and not see either of them throughout the day. I just want to go back to Hema’s apartment.“Could you lock the door behind you?” He asks. I roll my eyes, “what, you don’t want another uninvited

Nek shakes his head, “Taina’s my personal assistant and I can’t replace her with anyone” he states, smiling at me. I force a smile at him not to seem rude before looking away from him.A look of defeat passes her face, it doesn’t last up to a second before it’s replaced with a sweet smile. “I can work in public relations, maybe as the head of the team” she says.I speak up before Nek can, “we already have someone working as the head of PR”. I can take her trying to replace me but I can’t take her, rendering someone else jobless.She nods, “okay, I’ll work as part of the team”. Nek shakes his head, “you can work as my secretary” he states. My mouth opens in shock, “I’m your secretary and personal assistant, why would you give my role out to someone”.“I know you feel pity for her, but I don’t think it’s right for you to give out my role to her without asking me first” I say, rising to my feet. He thoughtfully nods, “I’m sorry, I was trying to help her out and at the same time reduce yo

Chapter 170

Juris must have gone downstairs with the person who’s supposed to help her get settled at the company. “I’ll see if I can explain the work she’ll be handling through a video call.I’m pretty sure that neither of us want to be that close to the other, so I think a video call is the best option. I walk into my office, gently closing the door behind me.Some minutes after I get settled into my office, Juris barges in, not bothering to knock. I look at her in confusion, wondering what she could want, “Nek said you should brief me on my duties” she says, taking a seat opposite me.My eyes land on the deep red lipstick she’s wearing, I internally shake my head as that’s against the dress code. She snaps her fingers in front of my face, “are you even listening to anything I’ve been saying”.I shake my head, “sorry, I spaced out for a second. Could you repeat the things you just said”. Annoyance flashes through her eyes, but she quickly composes herself, “Could you please put me through my du
