Rhys walked into the boardroom oozing confidence and power. His jawline hardens to be sharp, sharp enough to slice through any obstacles that come his way.His breath hitched as he walked meeting with his wife in converse with Damien. One of the perverts in the Freeman Corp.He burned his stare making his presence known to her. Just as their eye clicked he didn’t miss the way she moved uncomfortably.“You’re late” Alec spat sending daggers at Rhys that seemed to be unhinged.Rhys had almost forgotten about the role he was to play before his true identity was revealed. He didn’t care at the moment, what irked him was the fact that his wife was seared a few steps away conversing with Damien while he rubbed her shoulder.His hands fisted, “Sorry” he mumbled taking a seat with his eyes still glued to his wife.Ashley moved away from Damien making Rhys smirk before he turned his stare away, letting the poor girl breathe.Soon enough the meeting began.Rhys knew the meeting had everything t
Rhys walked out of the building with Alec tailing behind. Before Rhys could register what was going on, Alec had pinned him to the ground launching punches on him.“You dare lay your hands on my wife” he punched on Rhys.“How dare you place a finger on her?!” Punch.He had already gathered a scene just as he wanted. Rhys had to struggle with his inner thoughts, one side of him telling him to retaliate and the other urging him to keep calm and not endanger his wife.It was hard to choose which to go with the embarrassment Alec was causing him.“What’s going on here!?” A third party arrives with his guards standing at the back of him.Rhys lifted his gaze meeting with Giovanni’s just then Ashley walked out of the building but soon her steps came to a halt when she met eyes with Giovanni.“Clear the path” Giovanni orders the guards to which they adhered.Soon it was only, Ashley, Giovanni, Alec, and Rhys in the scene.Rhys stole a glance at his wife who looked like she’d pass out any mo
His heart dropped as he sighted her figure at the distinct end of the room. His breath heavier feeling the rage surge through him, just by her silent sobs.“Tigress” he mumbled walking towards her but she didn’t move an inch, probably didn’t hear him.He stood by her side and still no amount of awareness being shown by Ashley. It’s like she’s suddenly turned into a rock.The thoughts of what Giovanni has done to his wife don’t sit well with him. It bothers him big time knowing Ashley had to go through it alone.He had a choice either to save her or the mission and once again he chose the mission. He maybe doesn’t have feelings for her but he cares for her that’s for sure.Heaving out a sigh, he placed a hand on her lower back urging her to bolt her head up in terror with a scream smiling from her lips.Soon her screams died down as her sight came in contact with Rhys’s.He knew he was the last person she was expecting but he didn’t think it’d be this obvious.He cupped on her cheek, “

"Rhys" Nonna calls out, snapping him out of his thoughts. He turned away from the window and walked back to the hospital bed where she lay. Rhys had been so lost in thought that he didn't notice when she had woken up. He walked to her with concern itching on his face, getting a hold of her fragile hands. "Yes," he answered, his eyes softening from the tensed ones he had a while ago. "Where is she?" Nonna asked roaming her stare around the room to get a glimpse of her figure but to no avail.Rhys knew exactly who she was talking about yet he chose to act oblivious hoping she wouldn't ask for his wife; Natalie but who was he kidding?"Huh?""Natalie."He shakes his head, "She's not here...Uhm, Natalie got caught up with some work--"She cut him off before he could go any further, "No, please I need to speak with her at least before my time is due--""No. Don't say that" Rhys cut her off not liking the words she had just said. "My child. I can feel it, it's inevitable and you have t
Rhys walked into Roderigo's abode, his emotions on the edge. The betrayal of his wife was freshly on his mind. Part of me believes that nothing is going on with Natalie and Alec.She'll never do that to him, or would she?His mind believes the possibilities of that happening but his heart is blinded by the love he has for her. Rhys decides to go for the latter by trusting his wife, hoping that he doesn't get slapped in the face by the truth after confronting her.What he and Natalie share is more than that. There's trust, love and respect. "Rhys, good to see you" Teresa the housekeeper of the Roderigo greeted.Forcing a slight smile, I give her a curt nod "You too Teresa" he mumbles barely above a whisper.Teresa stepped aside making space for him to walk in before shutting the door."Where is she?" Rhys inquires his face returning to the scowl it had in a blink."Oh. Natalie is at the guest parlor waiting for you" She responds.Rhys nods, taking calm and precise steps to the parlo
Rhys paused as Mr and Mrs Roderigo walked in, not just behind them was no one other than Alec Freeman; the man his wife chose over him.Oh wait, he's ex-wife now.So Natalie isn't his anymore? Rhys has never imagined that a day would come when he had to give her up. All this while he has been living in deceit. "You" Mrs Roderigo sneered, sparing him a disgusting look along with her husband brushing past him.His jawline tightened as his eyes fell on Alec who had a smirk darting on his lips. "Natalie, what is this poor deceitful man doing in our home?" Mrs. Roderigo questions. Rhys turned to face the family that never really liked him or the relationship he shared with Natalie. They always mocked and insulted him at how incompetent and not wealthy enough to meet up with their daughter's standards. No matter how much Rhys tried to please them, it was never enough. "Natalie. What's wrong? Are you crying?" Alec asked, walking towards her in concern.Rhys felt the burning jealousy br
