"On second thought." His wife turned to look at him smiling mischievously. "Let's do it because I miss you." She placed a kiss on his lips, he was taken back at first but turned on right in the moment. He trailed wet kisses on her neck but she quickly stopped him.

"Wait." He stared down at her wondering why she wanted him to stop. "Turn off the light." She implored him not to think too much of it and stood up from the bed turning the lights off leaving only the dim bedside lamps so he could at least see his way around the room. He slowly took off her pajamas and placed wet kisses on her body, Every touch was sensational on her skin and she felt so good.

She shut her eyes, falling asleep exhausted by their activities earlier. Chris stood from the bed turned the light and went back to the bed to see his wife's beautiful face, She looked like a perfect and flawless creature fallen from heaven.

He noticed that she had put on her pajamas again and wondered why since she always felt unusually hot after sex and wouldn't even bother to wear clothes.

He held her arm placing a kiss on it but got shocked when he saw it was bruised, he was shaken with terror and immediately observed her other hands and noticed both of them were bruised, his stomach felt sickening and he tried to figure out what she had done.

"What's this?" He muttered staring in confusion, he also noticed live bites on their chest including her breast which were swollen, he was distraught not knowing what to say, and continued to observe it in shock, he hadn't touched her to the extent of harming her and they didn't look to be new, this was the reason she was wearing a long sleeve shirt and refused to let them have sex in the dark?"

"What's wrong honey?" She slowly opened her sleepy eyes staring at her husband, she noticed her body open and quickly covered it up. "Why are you staring at me so weirdly?" 

"What's that?" He asked her and she tilted her head tight her brows furrowed as if she knew nothing about what he was talking about.

"What is what?" She pretended not to understand what he was contending. She frowned at him

"Why do you have bruises on your hand and also on your chest area?" He asked her and for a moment she acted dumbstruck as if not knowing what to say.

"A game." She mumbled looking away as if she wasn't bold enough to say it, She leaned her back on her pillow and stared at her husband's signs to see he was still staring at her. 

"What kind of game? He inquired, wanting her to tell him more about it in detail. He looked mad at her and that was scary for her because he rarely got angry but she knew she could soothe him back to his normal state since he rarely holds anything to heart.

"Well, I was among those who were tied, and, that caused it to bruise before I knew it." She explained wriggling her fingers and pouting her lips and for a second he was about to drop the topic but he held his ground. "It's nothing you need to worry yourself about honey." She assured him yawning and wanting to do it too because of how tired she was.

"Game in a business meeting?" This didn't make sense to Chris and he wanted a better explanation than what she was saying right now. Her eahe had said they were dancing and now a game? Was this a business trip or something else? Chris needed to connect the dots properly before he made any bad decisions that could cost him a lot.

"The company organized a game where we would be tied by ropes and carried by another colleague, it was initiated to enhance trust among each other." She added seeing that he didn't buy the first one she said. Never had he heard about a company wanting to enhance the trust between co-workers, since when was that the primary aim of a company? No matter how Chris reasoned it nothing seemed to make any sense but he didn't want to tell her so she wouldn't view him as being suspicious towards her.

"Trust?" Chris scrunched his face trying to hold back the anger he was feeling. He pursed his lips letting out a sigh as he stared at his wife's lie to his face without hesitation, it felt as though his eyes were finally opened.

"Yeah, it was fun, Maybe we can try it sometime with other couples." She suggested holding his palm in hers with a warm smile on her face. "I was shocked myself when we were told to play the game but it was worth it.

"I don't like you being involved in risky games like this so please tell them, it's alright if they send you away, My paycheck is about enough money to sustain us for a long time," Chris said and her eyes widened, she leaned forward and burst out laughing at her husband. He was never this  

"There were other more dangerous games than this." She implied wanting him to know this was the safest she had played hit he wasn't buying that crap. He had a strong feeling she was lying to him and wanted to let her spill the truth all herself but the more questions he asked she always covered it up with more lies and he began to question 5he years he had been with her. Was it also a lie too?

"Why would a company create such nonsense? It's hard to believe that it's a business meeting and you had the time to play games, it just makes me wonder if you only went for a vacation." Chris frowned, acting like he was dumb about this discovery. She was dumbstruck and couldn't say a word to him.

    "Are you implying that I lied to you?" She rolled her eyes at him seeming annoyed but he didn't say anything to her so she continued. "We were all divided into three groups, robbers, policemen, and hostages, The hostages were tied by the wrist, and although I was chosen to be one of the robbers, a colleague of mine Tracy complained about switching places with me and I did." She shrugged, pouting her lips as she stared at her wrists with a frown."I didn't expect it to be too tight that would cause my wrist to redden, that's why I wore the long-sleeved pajamas knowing you were going to be annoyed when you saw me hurt." She pouted her lips staring at him with angel eyes but Chris didn't look as though he believed a single word she had just said and she noticed that. "If you don't believe me then I can call her in front of you." Chris was still silent and finding a fault in whatever lies she just spoke but nothing came to mind, it was so perfectly planned that he could not question it,

    Chris dialed the number that had just texted him but it was switched off which angered him, How could anyone sprout such nonsense and be scared to talk afterward?Just then someone called his phone and saw it was his assistant at his company, he immediately answered the call placing the phone on his ear."Good morning sir." His assistant Marcus greeted. "There's a situation." He sounded distressed and Chris knew instantly that something was wrong."What do you mean there's a situation?" Chris questioned making his way back to his car."Well there is a large painting on the company building with the word shame," Marcus explained, Chris paused for a second wondering if it was the person that had a person that had texted him initially, he couldn't think of another person who would do such a thing."Well do so things about it before it causes any issues, Also have you been able to find out the culprit?""No one has been brought forward yet but I'm on it, sir.""Good, I'll be on my way the

    "Spit it out, what's wrong." Chris urged him as he wondered what he wanted to say that was so hard to spit out. He was having a bad day already and the suspense wasn't at all helping matters, he gently tapped his fingers on the table."I came to town a few days back and stayed in Lenora Hotel but something caught my attention." Brian began to say after so much hesitation."What is that?" Chris asked, getting tired of the suspense Brian was giving him. He leaned back in his chair "Not to say that she's cheating on you but it's just something I observed and wanted to be sure.""What do you mean?" Chris furrowed his brows"I couldn't see them quite well but I know your wife when I see her…. The man was about the same height as you if not taller and he had tattoos on his hand, I couldn't see his face." Brian explained. "When they were about to leave he called her name.""How sure are you that it was my wife you saw?" Chris asked."He called her Ari." Chris was dumbstruck trying to proces

    Brian and Chris both arrived at the hotel and casually walked in but before they got to the reception, Chris told Brian how to go about requesting for the CCTV footage for it to be easier for them."I'm sorry but I cannot allow you access to that sir." The receptionist said plainly and casually resumed her work. She liked white young and beautiful yet charismatic, Brian who is known to be a player wasn't in the mood to pull anything off as the situation was a matter of emergency, that could either break a marriage or clear doubts in the air."What nonsense is this? Do you have any idea how much that Rolex watch costs?" Brian snapped at her angrily but still, she wasn't shaken by those words."I cannot let you sir, please understand." She told him. "Could you tell me your name so I could search from our records if you had booked our hotel, From there I can take you back to the room you stayed in and do a thorough search.""Brian Owens." He told her adjusting his sunglasses as he looked

    Chris squinted his eyes and finally realized it was not who he assumed but it was someone unexpected, he knocked frantically on the window causing the two to stop exchanging saliva, the lady turned to see who it was that had disturbed her session and was even more shocked, filled with terror that she began to tremble. Susan quickly got out of the car trying to calm herself down, She pushed down her dress to make it longer, staring into Chris's eye to eye. She was still in shock and trying to get a hold of herself in this situation. She was wearing a quite revealing dress exposing her gigantic boobs, the dress was fitted revealing her nice shape and flawless skin. "What are you doing here?" She questioned like shhadn't't done anything bad a few seconds ago, She tidied up her hair which was now loose, and stared away from him "That's not your husband," Chris informed her like she didn't already know, if this was what his wife's friend was doing behind her husband's back then his wife

    "Tell me about the dancing at the party." Chris inquired but she hesitated for a moment to recollect memories of that day as she wriggled her fingers slowly looking up at him. He glared down at her trying to contain himself but the frustration he felt was beyond what he could imagine, he still couldn't bring himself to believe all this was happening no matter how many times the truth was glaring at him in the face, he believed his dear wife would blnever think of doing that to him. "It wasn't a normal party." She looked up quite terrified wondering if it was okay to say it or not but she had no choice than to do so. "It was a performance arranged by our manager for us to dance in front of rich men." Susan dropped her gaze to the floor trying to hold back the embarrassment and guilt she felt. Chris was horrified by the thought of his wife doing such a thing, was it because of money, if so he had more than enough, was it because she was loosing interest in him? That didn't seem to be th

    "Yes it was indeed tight but I don't think it could leave bruises on her skin because she wasn't the hostage," Susan explained and Chris was a bit confused wondering how she would have gotten the bruises if she hadn't played hostage. How dubious is she? Is this the fragile woman he had been with for five years? Could it be that she had gotten the bruises before the game so she could use it as an alibi? Chris thought to himself. If that is so then where had she gone to and how did she get so badly bruised that her colleagues didn't know about it when she was to play hostage or could the person who had tied her hand know about it and shrug it off? Chris' head kept ringing with a lot of unanswered questions. He was running out of patience wanting to know the truth about everything at go but it didn't seem like it would happen that way. "Were your rooms together back at the hotel?" Chris asked Susan who was silent for a few seconds, she nodded her head negatively trying to recall who ha

    "There are a whole bunch of men that fit your description so I can't say I know that person." Susan shrugged. "If you knew what his name was then that would be a different scenario." She added scratching her hair as she nervously looked around wanting to be out of their sight at any moment. "Damn it!" Chris stomped the ground hard as he frowned his lips in frustration, just when he thought there was going to be a lead but it was another futile dead end. "Are you lying just to cover up your friend?" Brian asked staring at her eye to eye which was intimidating as she looked away from him. "Why would I lie knowing you could end me with just that video on your phone?" She rolled her eyes feeling as though she was stomped upon, she felt her pride meltdown once again. "I doubt she can sprout any lies at the moment," Chris informed Brian who backed away from Susan leaving her to breathe properly, She rolled her eyes at him hating his presence around her. "Does any woman in the company g

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.

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?"

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

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

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.

    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
