KIMANI

Monday came far too quickly. The weekend had been a blur, a beautiful, confusing blur filled with laughter, stolen glances, and moments that made my heart flutter more than I cared to admit. But now it was back to reality — back to being Dawn, the dutiful employee, and not Kimani, the woman who spent the weekend realizing that her husband might just be her undoing.

I stretched under the soft sheets before finally dragging myself out of bed. The morning sun slipped through the curtains, casting warm streaks across the room. With a sleepy sigh, I shuffled into the bathroom, brushing my teeth and stepping under the shower. The cool water cascaded over my skin, washing away the last traces of sleep and the weekend’s lingering haze.

Ten minutes later, I stepped out wrapped in a fluffy white robe, toweling my damp hair. My eyes immediately caught the neatly laid-out dress on the bed — a cream blouse paired with a pencil skirt, simple yet elegant — and beside it, my wig. My Daw

    KIMANI The day had been slow and peaceful until 2 p.m., exactly the time the chaos was scheduled to arrive. Ava had spent the morning fussing over every little detail, dragging me from the kitchen to the living room to the balcony, checking light angles and the state of my skin, which I assured her was fine more times than I could count. Then the team showed up. First, the makeup artist walked in, sleek, professional, calm. Her assistants followed quietly, carrying cases that looked like they belonged on a film set rather than a private house. They had that “everything in control” vibe, the kind that made you trust them immediately. And then—disaster disguised as charisma—entered the hairstylist. “Oh, honey!” he exclaimed, arms wide, energy practically vibrating off him as he swept into the room. “You’re Kimani? Darling, I am living for this!” He snapped his fingers, twirled around, and somehow managed to trip over the corner of a rug without losing a beat. “Oh no! No! I’m

    KIMANI I got to our bedroom first and didn’t hesitate. My skin still smelled faintly of chlorine and sunshine, and I wanted it gone. I headed straight for the bathroom, shedding my towel and swimsuit along the way. The shower came on with a familiar hiss, steam already beginning to rise as warm water poured down. I stepped under it, sighing the moment the heat hit my shoulders. Muscles I didn’t even realize were tense slowly loosened, the steady rhythm of the water washing away the remnants of laughter, splashes, and sun. I tilted my head back, letting the water run through my hair. My mind drifted lazily—Ava’s dramatic shrieks, Alaric’s rare, carefree smile, the way the afternoon had unfolded without pressure or plans. It felt unreal how calm everything was. How right. I reached for the body wash, lathering it between my palms, inhaling the soft scent as I worked it over my skin. The bathroom fogged up quickly, mirrors blurring, the world shrinking to warmth and white noise

    ALARIC Work blurred together faster than I expected. Emails. Numbers. A call I half-listened to while mentioning approvals over phone calls. My mind was present enough to function, but not enough to care. That had become a pattern lately—everything important was handled efficiently, everything else felt like background noise. I ended the call, set my phone aside, and leaned back in the chair for a brief moment. Silence settled. Too quiet. Without really deciding to, I stood and walked toward the balcony doors, pushing them open and stepping outside. The afternoon sun was warm, the kind that sat comfortably on your skin instead of burning it. From up here, the estate spread out in calm symmetry—green, expansive, controlled. Then I saw them. Kimani was in the pool, water shimmering around her as she laughed at something Ava had said. My sister stood at the edge, arms flailing dramatically as she spoke, already halfway soaked from splashing water at Kimani like a child. I r

    KIMANI Even when I thought the dress design on paper looked ethereal, seeing it physically and fully made stole the rest of my breath. It was even better than I imagined. It was perfect. The material Ava used had a delicate glitter woven into it—fine, intentional, like it belonged there. Not flashy. Not loud. Just enough to catch the light. It reminded me of stars scattered across the night sky, subtle until the light hit them just right. Sunlight streamed in through the tall windows, and the dress shimmered softly, glowing instead of sparkling. Elegant. Refined. Arresting. “Oh,” I whispered before I could stop myself. Ava crossed her arms, chin lifted, smug satisfaction written all over her face. “That’s it. That’s the reaction I wanted.” I stepped closer, fingers hovering just above the fabric like touching it might break the spell. “Ava… this is—” “—perfect,” she cut in without hesitation. “I know.” I laughed breathlessly. “You’re impossible.” “And you’re welcome,” she rep

    KIMANI Alaric returned from his call with a breakfast tray. "Finally, I was starving." I said, sitting up. He just smiled and gently placed the tray on the bed beside me. After making sure that it was balanced, he took off his slippers and got in bed with me. The tray was very wide and filled with different plates of breakfast choices. "Are you trying to fatten me up?" I gave him a side eye. Alaric looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "You just said you were starving. I brought enough so you will have enough to eat but now you are accusing me of trying to fatten you up." "One can never tell." I replied, cutting into the pancakes. "If you are scared of getting fattened up, you can join me to workout, everything will balance up." he said. I shook my head. "Nah, intense activity is not for me." "All the more reason why you should join me." he sipped from his cup of coffee. "Are you calling me lazy?" I asked, looking at him. "No, not at all. Think of it as us spending time

    KIMANI When I woke up that morning, I felt so tired. I glared at the culprit and the person that caused that predicament. And he had the audacity to try and smile at me. "I'm not allowing you near me for the next one month." I told him. He looked at me with hooded eyes. "You and I know that would not be possible." he said. "I might actually try it." I replied, sitting up. Alaric stared at me, his eyes darkened. I looked down to see that the shirt I was wearing was exposing my chest and the hickeys he had scattered around them. "Look away, perv." I said adjusting the shirt. "Perv? I'm not a perv, I'm just staring at my beautiful wife and her amazing body that has some equally beautiful art. Courtesy of me." he replied. I rolled my eyes and stood up from the bed, legs staggering like a new born fawn. Alaric looked at me with a smug look on his face. "Wipe that off." I scowled. He came closer and carried me. "Come on. A hot saltwater filled bathtub is waiting for you to com
