"What's wrong?" Aria asked looking up at him with sleepy eyes as she gazed up at Chris wondering why he was up at this time, she turned in the light getting a better glimpse of him."Just got a call from the office, I need to be there right away." He explained to her not wanting to go into details. He grabbed his keys shoving his phone in his pockets as he made his way out of the room and down the stairs with Aria following behind him still in a daze and trying to comprehend why her husband was leaving the house at midnight."Why can't you just handle it tomorrow? It's late." She tried persuading him while holding onto his arm staring up at him with worry."It's quite important that I need to be there, rest assured that everything will be fine." With that, he walked out of the house before she could say anything. He quickly got into his car started the engine and drove out of the garage making his way to the company he arrived in a few minutes as there were barely any cars on the road
He quickly took to his heels without a second thought and even though Chris ran after him he couldn't catch him as he jumped over a wall and escaped, Chris clenched his fists in fury as he gazed at his fists still wondering what correlation his wife had with this man yet no answer seemed to make its way into his head. He turned around making his way back to the company and got into his car making his way home still not taking his mind off the man and his wife. When he got home it was already five in the morning and his wife was wide awake and getting ready for work. "Good morning honey." She greeted him with a peck as she continued to apply light makeup while staring at the mirror. "You had left in a hurry, did something happen?" He pursed his lips with a darkened gaze as he recalled the call the man had made relating to his wife. "Not really, it's being taken care of." He turned around sitting on his bed in silence, Aria stared at him through the mirror but remained silent. She sto
Chris sprang up from the chair making his way out of the office towards the elevator but was stopped by Genshin, the managing director who was standing side by side with one of the partners he had a meeting with earlier. The two men were considerably older than Chris both almost in their late fifties. Chris was uneasy but composed himself well enough. "Nice to meet you again." Mr Colt stretched out his hands to greet him with a smile curved in his lips yet Chris was so focused on leaving. "Mr. Colt” Chris called out, as he reached out to his outstretched hands and shook it, they exchanged more pleasantries and talked for a while Chris took a peek at his watch, checking the time, he had wasted over ten minutes which was bothersome as he was no longer co centration on what Mr Colt was saying. “Are you in a hurry?” Mr. Colt asked as he noticed how disturbed Chris gazed at his watch constantly, unlike how he had been so composed during the conference they had a few minutes ago. “Hu
He got into his car, revving up the engines as he drove towards the hotel, his phone rang furiously and he picked it up seeing it was Brian's cousin, Riel. "They already left," Riel informed Chris stomping his foot angrily, staring up at the sky in frustration, he had been delayed by those two, and now he couldn't get his wife red-handed. "Damn it." He bit his lips still focused on the road, he didn't want to turn back and decided to still go to the hotel. His mind racing with different thoughts. His fists clenched on the steering as he drove not caring if he passed the speed limit, his eyes were clouded with rage and frustration, and he swerved and sold his way to the hotel, less than an hour later he arrived at the hotel, and he got out of the car not caring if it was locked or the engine still engaged, and made his way into the hotel. He got out of the car and saw Riel was already waiting for him outside. "Did they figure something out?" Chris asked wondering why they left so
He was in shock immediately looking at the sender and saw that it was his wife, she quickly deleted the pictures as though she hadn't meant to send them to him in the first place. He dialed her number for a few minutes before she picked up, she let out a little soft chuckle to tease him, but he could tell she was nervous at the same time. "Did you like what you saw?" She teased him. "Well…" he trailed off, still being skeptical about whether to go or not. "You don't have to be shy honey, I'm here for you." She chuckled in the background nervously, seeming that she was okay but she was indeed going crazy already. He frowned his lips reminding himself that she had been with a man earlier and that sending this was accidental. "Hmmmm." He hummed listening to her lies, while closing his eyes before he would go feral again. "What do you think huh?" She teased him sounding seductive but it only infuriated him that she was trying to cover up her deceptive lies, she was going to send it t
Aria groaned in pain but laughed over it, never had she felt this good in her life, she had bite marks all over her body which Chris rarely did because he didn't want to hurt her perfect skin."I'm sorry." He mumbled pulling out of her na looked away feeling guilty but she grabbed his hand with her slim fingers staring at him with a delightful gaze filled with thrills and excitement."I want more." She pouted. "You've never done this before." She narrowed her eyes gazing at him with passion-filled eyes, he stood up walked into the bathroom, and washed up, he had never done it rough with his wife and he felt guilty about it no matter how hard he tried convincing himself that there was nothing to worry about, to his surprise she liked it and all the while never complained about it but cheered him on, he quickly got ready again if outing her as she laid sprawled in the bed still panting, he looked away and without another word left the house, making his way into the office. He got into t
It Chris was determined to know if his wife was cheating and had finally been caught but then he received another message from Briella stating that she would call Jim back. He nodded impatiently and accepted that he couldn't do anything other than wait. Briella on the other hand was tailing the two snakes who had made it a requirement to meet each other daily not caring what their spouses might think. She was sitting in a black rented Corolla car as she didn't want to be caught by her husband just yet, she finally spotted the two of them working out from the company building holding hands not caring if anyone saw them. Briella took everything within her to remain calm as she wasn't planning to break just yet, and didn't know why her eyes welled up because no matter how much she prepared herself she still couldn't bear seeing her husband enjoying the company of another woman. She watched them walk into his car and sped off, she revved the engines of the car and sped along with them t
"What do you mean by that?" Briella frowned at the woman as she approached her with a cold aura."You're not eligible to go in there." The lady rolled her eyes, eyeing Briella who began to think of another way to get in but the lady wasn't giving her the chance as her voice was loud and made her head ache."What nonsense are you sprouting? My husband is in there." Briella growled gazing at the lady who pointed towards an instruction board that she seemed to have ignored while trying to get to her husband."Read the sign over there, I hope that gives you an answer." The lady took a step back gesturing for her to leave but Briella wasn't about to go empty-handed, she still needed to know what both of them were doing inside. She saw that she needed to have a VIP card to be seen as worthy of getting in and that was why Aria had initially waited for Kade to take her in, Briella backed away in defeat and walked out before another commotion could arise. She got into her car and sighed tiredl
The morning dawned with a delicate shine of sunlight, promising warmth for that day. The sunlight peered through the curtains casting a soft glow on Melissa's face as she slept. Gradually sensing the heat and bright light from the sun, she blinked her eyes open, adjusting herself into a comfortable position on the bed. The space beside her was empty, Chris nowhere in sight. "Maybe he's working in his study." She muttered to herself, trying to sit upright. Chris now worked from home because of Melissa. He wanted to make sure that she never got to stress herself during the last few months of her pregnancy, and that he was always there whenever she needed him. He only went to the office if the situation needed itTwisting her neck sideways to relieve them of it's stiffness, her hand instantly went to her protruding belly, rubbing gentle circles around them as a smile played on her lips. It felt like yesterday when they were unsure of their love, but now a year had passed. Gradually
Melissa stared at her wedding gown with joy plastered on her face. She had begun preparing for her wedding and was more than excited, she had asked her friend Daphne to come help her out in choosing her wedding gowns since she could not make up her mind.Cnrid had recommended that we go to a luxury "Isn't this perfect?" She turned around to ask her friend Daphne."Sure, it suits your sling but I feel it may be too heavy for you to move around," Daphne suggested while staring at the dress. "Why not try another?"The staff beside them pointed to a series of other options to choose from but Melissa was confused and didn't know which one to take."Have you found the one you like?" Chris's voice erupted in the room and they turned to gaze at him. Melissa gazed at him illuminating her face with a smile, she walked towards him and embraced him in a warm hug."Not yet, I still haven't made up my mind on which one to choose." She pouted her lips gazing at the numerous gowns available. "Why do
Chris had taken Melissa on a vacation trip so they could enjoy their moment together and get to know each other more. He also took it as a time for her to take a break from all the stress that had happened to her."Aren't these gifts a little too much?" Melissa pouted gaznng at the mirror admiring the silver dress he had bought for her."You deserve the world honey don't worry too much about the worth of the gift I'm giving you, after all the most expensive thing you've given me is your heart and my money can't be enough to buy that," Chris said as he caressed her lips placing a kiss on it."Don't flatter me." She looked away shyly, he gently pulled her close to him and looked away and gazed at her."I mean every word I tell you…. Don't for once doubt it." He leaned on her chest and smiled. "I love you too much to play with your heart."."What do you think about going out for dinner later this evening?" He asked gazing at her curiously. "It's okay if you don't feel like it." He added.
Weeks had passed since the whole incident and Chris was finally getting better although had to walk around with a walking stick to aid his movement, on the other hand, Melissa was still admitted to the hospital and still unconscious.It had saddened him to know that she lost the child but thankfully she was still alive. Chris walked into the ward with fresh flowers to put in her room so she could have a nicely scented room."Good morning princess." He smiled at Melissa laying in the bed and the only thing he got back was the beeping machine noises that assured him she was right.He walked towards the flower vase replaced the old ones with the new ones he had just brought and walked to the chair to sit beside Melissa's bed. "Wale up soon okay?" He gently lifted her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it. Her skin had gotten paler and when he had brought it to the doctor's concern, he was told that it was because she was still unconscious and when she woke up, she would get back to herself
"What?" Melissa was stunned to see Aria and glanced at Chris."She's with Alex." He forced out the words and gazed at Melissa."Such a whore." She mumbled and pulled out a gun from her pocket aiming at Aria."You have a death wish, don't you? Stooping so low that you spread your legs for every man you see.""What the hell do you know about me huh?" Aria lashed out."I know that you're a whore, that's for certain." Melissa shrugged her shoulders, Chris had finally noticed the way Melissa dressed as an officer and tilted their head wondering if he was making things up."Why are you wearing this?" Chris asked her curiously."Long story short I'm an investigator." She gave him a quick smile before gazing at Aria who was also shocked at the discovery."So all this while you used working with him as a cover-up?" Aria smirked. "Wouldn't it be shameful if they knew how you got pregnant?""That is none of your concern!" Chris raised his voice at Aria."Don't you dare raise your voice at me!" S
"Ya'll better start talking or I'm about to pry you all open." He threatened pulling out a gun from the back of his trouser. "What the hell is she here?" He asked referring to Aria who was glaring at him furiously."You seem quite energetic for the day but I'm afraid you're interrupting a heart-warming scene," Alex smirked."Aria come here right now," Kade ordered her but she stood firmly in the ground."Who do you think you're talking to honey" Sir folded her hand on her chest and smiled, Kade was somewhat taken aback, he could sense a change in her and wondered why she had behaved like this all of a sudden. "You had better watch that mouth of yours.""Just what do you mean by that?" Kade demanded, he was furious. "Are you still going to choose that bastard over me?" He pointed to Chris who remained quiet and hung his head low."I doubt that is the situation here." She threw herself onto Alex and smiled."You better get away from her or I will blast your head off." Kade threatened hi
Several days had passed and Chris hadn't heard from his brother or had anything to eat, he was slowly losing his mind and the smell of blood enveloping the room picked him so much."It's been a while." Alex's voice erupted in the room and he the door creaked open, Chris struggled to lift his head and gazed at him."He needs treatment." He turned to Marcus who was laying weakly on the floor. "He has nothing to do with this, why does he have to suffer?" "You seem quite healthy for someone how head starved." Alex lit up a cigarette gazing at Chris coldly. "Answer me!" Chris demanded but Alex still wasn't bothered by his question."I'm slowly going to drive you to insanity to the point where you would beg me to end your life but I would not," Alec said, puffing the smoke in Chris' face and laughing. "You should see your face right now.""You psycho!""Well then, why didn't I invite a very special guest huh?" He whispered into Chris' ear.Chris couldn't help but wonder who it could be an
"How can it be?" Chris gasped. "You… died.""Well as you can see it's my spirit taking revenge on you." Alex laughed sarcasticallyChris was still in shock and hadn't recovered, he recalled that after that incident he was been blamed for the death of his step brother who couldn't be found, and was taken to his grandmother's place to live till he grew up and had never heard from his parents because they had cut him off."You faked your death?" Chris gazed at him in annoyance."How could you do such a thing to me?" Alex pouted his lips looking like a maniac."I never intended to do so, but now that I think of it I should have pushed you harder so that you would truly die." Chris stared at him waiting for some sort of explanation. "So you're telling me because of a little incident you caused this chaos?"The ringing of Alex's erupted the room and he turned around walking out of the room without any more words. Chris turned his gaze to Marcus who was still unconscious and frowned.Melissa
The cold freezing water flowing down Chris' body caused him to jerk up up I'm shock, panting as he tried to catch his breath and survey his unfamiliar surroundings."Wake up Prince Charming." He heard a familiar voice echo in his ear, he gazed at the man standing in front of him dressed in an all-black attire that gave off chilly vibes. "I don't have the entire day to wait for you."Chris winced in pain gazing at the man who hit him, his entire body ached and he felt intense pain in his head as warm liquid seeped out."Who are you?" Chris asked glaring at him."What are you so keen to know who I am since you would be dying here?" "At least I remember you once I'm out of here and you're six foots under…. Sorry, I forgot no one would be burying you." Chris chuckled amidst the intense pain he was feeling."You haven't changed have you?""You know it's bad manners not to introduce yourself." Chris frowned at him trying to get a view of his fave behind the mask and suddenly felt a sense o
