Condemned Wife's Compliance 31. Distracting Her
The game was over. Adrea did not want to go home just yet.Moreau put the cards at the centre of the table and slid out of his seat with panther-like grace.He looked at Aris and said, “See you at the tournament.”Aris nodded and asked, “Still refuse to fly with me?”“I make my own way,” Moreau said as he gave Aris a look Adrea could not decipher.He then looked at Adrea and said, “See you there, Adrea Galanis.”She nodded at him and then watched him stalk out of the room.“Did you bring your papers?” Aris asked her, and she turned her attention back to him.“Yes,” she said, as she began to go through her purse for her passport and driving licence.Once she got them, she extended them to him and then watched him walk towards the door. He paused when he got there and turned to look at her over his shoulder.“Come along,” he said.She nodded and walked towards him. He opened the door and stood aside so that she could walk past him. She hesitated.“I won’t bite,” Aris stated defensively,

There was an ace of spades, a three of clubs, and a six of diamonds on the table. Adrea had what she considered the best card. Doubles. A three of hearts and a three of diamonds. She was keeping her face pleasant. Aris knew something was up. He knew that face. Sanne and Moreau had dropped out of the game. So, it was just her and him.“Bet,” Adrea said as she pushed forward a fairly good number of chips.Aris looked at her and cocked his head. “What do you have that gives you this level of confidence? Would I lose my shirt if this were strip poker?”Sanne and Moreau were watching them both with interest.“I think so,” Adrea did not bother making her voice uncertain. “But why not your shoes first, Aris?”She was never hesitant or uncertain. He would know she was jerking him around… or he would think the strip poker thing was doing things to her. She did not want that.He considered her face and then said, “This is what I was talking about, Moreau.”Adrea looked at Moreau, who was watchi

As they walked into the living room, Adrea immediately took note of the company. Sanne was seated on one of the couches. She had her long red hair in a single braid at the top of her head. She smiled at Adrea as she walked in.“Hi Adrea!” Sanne didn’t waste time greeting her. “Welcome to the team,” she then added with a two-finger salute to Adrea.Adrea smiled at her as she said, “Thanks, Sanne. How are you?”“Never been better,” Sanne replied, and then her blue eyes went to the man who was sitting opposite her. He had twisted his torso so that he could get a better look at Adrea.“Hello,” Adrea said to the man, and he tipped an invisible hat at her, a warm smile on his face.“That’s Moreau,” Aris said to her.“Despite what Aris said,” Sanne interjected, “he’s no protector of virtues.”Aris grinned and Moreau chuckled. Adrea pinked and kept her expression blank. She wasn’t quite sure how to respond to that and so she decided not to.“Why are we here?” she asked instead.“Knights must

Rafael did not come home that day, or the next, or the one after. Either he was on a business trip or he was with Belinda. Adrea did not ask and she did not want to know. She told herself not to care, not to notice the emptiness in the house. What did it matter? He was not going to be in her life after everything was done and over with. He was going to be a blip in her rear-view mirror one day. He was going to be a distant memory. She just needed to work on that.And that’s where poker came in. It got her out of that miserable house. That now skeleton of the home she had been trying to build for herself and her husband.‘Why are you thinking of him?’ she mentally asked herself as she stopped her car in front of Aris’ casino.She got out and a valet boy rushed over to take over and get the car. She had left the engine running and she gave her name to the man with the clipboard as she made her way inside.She realised something in that moment. She had been waiting for Aris to be waiting

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.‘No
