Wynn stares at him with her big eyes, wide as the galaxy of infinite stars. Her heart was beating violently against her chest for so many reasons. Her resolve flushing away with the arrival of confusion as she stared into the eyes of the man before her, the man she recognized as her best friend. She was extremely dumbstruck as she kept staring at Kraig. The man who just confessed to harbor feelings that weren't so platonic for her. Her breath was caught in her chest, her hands still on his own chest and with such contact, she could feel how erratically his heart was beating. Exposing the fact that he had summoned courage from the heavens and beyond to make a confession like that. "Kraig," she called his name softly, almost like a prayer, because there was nothing more she could do but pray that this was somewhat of a figment of her imagination because, how the hell did he expect her to react? "I don't know what to say, '' she muttered but with their proximity, he could hear her cl
Derek's face metamorphosed from a pleased look to one of anger and confusion while he stared at Wynn. "What sort of a question is that?" He inquired, "it was obviously you who told him everything, so why are you asking me?" Wynn shook her head, she knew well that she had not said a word of his cheating to Kraig. She was sure that those words never left her mouth. Not because she loved Derek so much that she would protect him. But for Kraig never to find out that after helping her against the older man, she was marrying Derek despite his cheating. "I never told him anything…" "Liar!" Derek accused, "you were the one who told him so that he would come here and embarrass me". Wynn instinctively looked around. All eyes were on them. The attention wasn't what she liked, especially when they were talking about their relationship. When she was dealing with the toxic side of Derek, a side that other people should not be seeing. "Are you happy?" He asked after noticing the same things th
Jade opens the door of their hotel room. The room was exactly how it was photographed on the website. She was actually expecting to find some shortcomings but she found none. A big presidential room, it was magnificent but nothing too grandiose. It had brown coloured drapes, a large window where the sunlight poured beautifully picturesque into the room meeting the long sofa that was placed right beside the window. The TV in front was large and behind I like a small space had art displays. The coffee table had several magazines scattered on them and also a bottle of wine and two glasses. It smelled like lavender. Jade was no doubt quite content with what she received and from the look on his face whilst staring at the large window, it seems like her husband himself was happy. Her heart skipped a beat inside of her, it was mostly from joy, she was excited that she made the perfect decision to get married to him. Wesley turned around and met the eyes of his wife. The corner of his
After hearing of such a confession, Kraig didn't know how to feel. He looked at the helpless man who was already on his feet, heaving, with blood flowing unsightly from his nose and his lips. He was so angry, so frustrated that he really wanted to continue to beat the hell out him. But he knew that there be any chance that he would continue, the man before him was surely going to give up the ghost and so he tried to keep his rage at bay, only sending a last punch and then exiting the house. Kraig had no idea what to make of the situation he had found out about. Here he had thought that Wynn had no idea of Derek's ways but she was aware of them. It meant this wasn't surely the first time that he had done such a thing to her. He was extremely pissed at her, but at a glance, he pitied her. She had experienced betrayal, shame, disgrace from this man, why then did she not just end it with him? What was she after? Was it that the love she had for him was towering that she could turn
Wynn shivered, her heart was sinking because the emotion she was feeling had been provoked by her best friend. She couldn't reciprocate his feelings and turning him down just seemed like the right thing to do. Despite knowing this, her conscience was tugged. She didn't know how to utter the words of rejection to her friend. He was throwing her into a spot that none of them would profit from and probably he was oblivious to that fact or maybe he was just hopeful. Wynn had no clue. However, her heart was resilient, despite just feeling a crashing guilt, she still closed her eyes and utter the words clear enough that he would hear them. "I don't feel the same way for you, Kraig" she said, "I'm not in love with you. I only see you as my friend, there's nothing more than that". She watched how Kraig's face fell, how he suddenly changed from hopeful to broken in a matter of seconds. The light in his eyes dulled and his whole person seemed to shrink. This was what he knew. He had al
The sun was already high up in the sky when Wesley woke up. He had had a somewhat perfect night with his wife. So perfect that he wanted the day to never come. Unfortunately, things didn't work that way and so, he was bad at dealing with the way things actually worked. He turned over in bed, expecting to see the woman who had made his night memorable but what he felt beside him was an empty space. He lifted his head and looked around; the bed was empty except for the boxes that were opened down. Jade was not in her bed because she was busy packing their clothes, placing them in the bags. A smile came to Wesley's face on seeing her and his worried heart finally stilled. He didn't want to rise up from the bed but from the looks of it, he had to. Jade was already packing up to leave which meant that their stay had come to an end. So he rose up from the bed, as he passed by her to the bathroom, he planted a kiss on her temple, whispering in her ear, "Good morning baby". Jade said n
Kraig stayed seated as he just watched. He wasn't even so naive that he removed his eyes from her. On the contrary, he kept it locked in on hers, watching every small flicker, any change whatsoever and all he could see was childishness, stupidity and foolishness. He saw jade as someone who had nothing important to do and that was why she was taunting him. He also knew that the only reason she married Wesley was because of wealth but nor matter how many times he and many others had tried to warn her against him, she turned a deaf ear. He was ready to see how she reacts when she learns the truth. She had brought herself here now because surely Wesley wouldn't be such an idiot as to bring her here himself. Coming here today was all on her. Wesley joined the scene, "what's going on here?" "Kraig doesn't want to do what I ask of him. What sort of a servant behaves this rudely?" Wesley was exasperated, "what is your problem, jade? If he doesn't want to get it, there are many other ser
Jade shook her head. Her brain refuses to grasp an understanding of the words of her husband. She thought given the place he was currently, he may decide to be down to earth. But what was the use of that? "Don't be so modest, my dear, it helps no one" she said. Wesley wondered if she had gotten her brain traded for a designer bag. He had communicated so clearly that he wasn't a part of the family still she was refusing to believe him, to understand his words. He wondered what was going on through her head that she was so hell bent on even translating his very clear English words to be something else. He gripped the bridge of his nose and sighed in frustration. "I know you don't want to appear like you're bigger than these people, you don't want to look like you're better than them, but Wesley, pretending doesn't fit you, modesty isn't your strongest suit so just drop it". "Why are you refusing to understand my words, jade?" Wesley asked, "I said I am not a DeVille, I'm not the he
