last update Last Updated: 2025-06-03 18:58:17

Adrea managed to get out of Aris’ office and he saw her to the door. He did refrain from his flirtatious comments, but he had a shit-eating grin that told her she did not want to know what was going on in his head.

She got into her car, and as she fastened her seatbelt, she lifted her head to see him looking at her with what she was beginning to dub his signature smile. He looked like he was riding the coattails of a joke, and she feared that joke was at her expense. He saluted her, and she rolled her eyes at him and then put the car in gear and drove off.

The ride home was uneventful, and when she was getting inside the house at the end of it, her purse began to vibrate. She absent-mindedly fished around her purse and found her phone. She looked at the caller ID and saw that the number belonged to her cousin, Gabriella.

She let out a breath and she took the call.

“Hello,” she said into the call, careful to keep her voice neutral.

“What happened to you yesterday?” Gabriella asked.

  • Condemned Wife's Compliance   83. The Stray

    Belinda watched his car pull away from the house through her bedroom window. She had hoped that he would take her side for once. A part of her had hoped that in the conflict between his wife and his mother, he had chosen his mother. But no. Rafael had picked Adrea, and Belinda felt the sting. He had not wanted her beside him or even just with his mother because of his soon-to-be ex-wife. That was another pain point. She had been looking forward to going to the charity event, but for his wife’s sake, he had put a stop to that. She could not say it did not hurt her.She looked at the now empty driveway, wondering if this was a sign that he would never fully untangle himself from his wife. She told herself that he was trying. He was at least taking the first step and divorcing her. He was just too good a man to be petty and let his family fall into the petty song and dance that usually came with divorce.She was slightly disgruntled that he was shielding the cheating hussy from his famil

    Rafael walked into his family home and the butler greeted him at the door. He shooed away the man as he made his way to the living room.He could hear his mother talking and she was furious. His eyes rolled upwards as he sent a prayer to the heavens. He needed divine help. She was already upset… He considered turning around and leaving, but as he took that one step back…“Rafe?” Belinda’s voice halted him.She was coming in from the staircase.He was aware of his mother’s voice halting.“Is Rafael here?!” she asked.There was no exit here.“Sounds like it,” Rafael heard the relief in his father’s voice.A part of him wanted to feel sorry for the man, but another part of him resented that he was feeding him to the barracuda he married so that he could momentarily be free of her relentless ranting.He saw Belinda mouth, “I’m sorry,” even as he let out a tired sigh and turned back towards the living room. He kept his face carefully blank and shoulders straight as he walked into the living

    She had considered meeting to talk about the Belinda issue because speaking on the phone felt so impersonal, but impersonal was what Adrea needed when she was dealing with her husband. So, she made the call. She was standing at the window looking down at the city as she listened to the dial tone go off in her ear. She did not wait long.“Adrea,” Rafael’s voice was carefully blank.She should have gone there in person. It unsettled her how she could not read him from where she was.“Hello, Rafael,” she said, feeling slightly awkward, and then there was an awkward pause before she continued talking.“I need to talk to you about the coming charity event,” she said. “There is a possibility that your mother will bring Belinda there.”She inhaled and then said, “Please don’t let her come. I know that from your end, I do not have the right to ask that of you. I do not need the kind of publicity that will bring. You know this charity was very important to my father and is very important to my

  • Condemned Wife's Compliance   80. Incorrigible Aris

    Aris knew about the dress drama from earlier that day. He decided not to get into it. Adrea knew how to take care of herself, and he would not step in until he thought she was incapable of handling what came her way. However, this did not mean that he would step aside and watch others attack her. He would keep close and be there, at her disposal, should she need him.He watched her as she walked into the apartment with her purchases. She glanced up at him, flushed, but did not falter in her steps even as something flickered in her eyes.“How was your trip?” he asked her, crossing his leg and stretching his arms into a T across the headrest of the couch so that his chest puffed out and the muscles in his shoulders and biceps were defined.‘Is he doing it on purpose?’ she asked herself.He most likely was. It would be just like him to find a way to get under her skin and make an incurable itch. Well, she was not going to show discomfort. She wasn’t brave enough now, but she had half a mi

  • Condemned Wife's Compliance   79. “Did you Pay For That?”

    A cold shower had not been enough to kill the inferno Aris had ignited by making out with Adrea. She had pushed him away a second time and escaped from the room after telling him that they shouldn’t have done that. Aris had watched her flee with a combination of amusement and sexual frustration. He had ignited the fire; he would suffer the consequences.However, he had an idea that he would not suffer alone. Adrea would have to be made of rock if she felt nothing after that passionate kiss.She did not feel nothing. She felt the ache deep in her pelvis. The longing. The muscles clenching, hoping for something to grip. A part of her… a very big part of her was chastising her for the hunger only Aris could placate.She too went for a cold shower and then went to bed early. She had a big day ahead of her. The charity ball was close, and she had not brought anything with her that would do. She had considered going back to her house to pick up something, but she did not feel comfortable ev

  • Condemned Wife's Compliance   78. Vivid Imagination

    Belinda walked into the Nikolaidis home with the same amount of apprehension as she had when she had first walked in. She did not come from a poor family. Her father, his father, and those before them made a long list of doctors. Her family never had to suffer. They had the best of everything… or so she had thought until she had come to this country. The Nikolaidis family had shown her what real wealth looked like. They did not just have the respect of the people, but they had the funds to back that up.Sure, they worked hard to get what they wanted, but Belinda’s family had worked harder and longer and never gotten where the Nikolaidis Family was. She looked around at the tall walls and ceilings. Everything screamed wealth. Corners impossible to reach were impossibly pristine, with servants making sure everything ran smoothly.Irene turned around and smiled at the younger woman. Yes. The expression on her face was what she had been aiming for when she had put her home together.“I am
