Linda's POV

As soon as I heard the sound of a vehicle pulling into the parking lot, I knew it was none other than Alex's. My eyes searched for his, as I peered into the front mirror of the vehicle.

A man of charisma and authority, reduced to a crimson skin and a downcast demeanor, was all I could see. My heartbeat accelerated.

I sulked. Harder. Louder. Until I was satisfied his face was completely clouded with worry, fear violently folding the skin on his forehead into waves as he stepped out

  • Divorce? Just Not Yet Darling!   The Man For The Job

    AT THE HOTEL.....Ping ping!A man with a chiseled body, strong abs, and a toned physique, clad in a thick fur-like coat, tall with the impression of an iroko, and face messed with expectations, sank his hand into his side pocket and retrieved his phone.CLIENT We are on our way to the hotel!Was the curt message, and with indifference, he replaced the phone, facial expression stone cold, like the message was not new. Maybe a regular. He was used to messages like this. In fact, he woke up every morning to messages like this, because that is what puts food on his table. He was born for this. Born to carry out dirty tasks for the rich without complaints, just allowing his expertise do the talking. The rich need dirty work done, and he is always the man for the job. Their hands simply remained clean, while his were stained.The sharp sound of his Italian shoes-expensive, custom-made, and earned through work others wouldn't touch, cut against the polished marble floor of the hotel. Eac

  • Divorce? Just Not Yet Darling!   She's Playing You

    Linda's POVAs soon as I heard the sound of a vehicle pulling into the parking lot, I knew it was none other than Alex's. My eyes searched for his, as I peered into the front mirror of the vehicle. A man of charisma and authority, reduced to a crimson skin and a downcast demeanor, was all I could see. My heartbeat accelerated. I sulked. Harder. Louder. Until I was satisfied his face was completely clouded with worry, fear violently folding the skin on his forehead into waves as he stepped out of the car and literally ran towards me. In one quick, practiced move, I smeared the last trace of rub from my fingertip onto my wet eyelid, making sure the act went unseen. The burn struck immediately. Vicious and biting, forcing a sharp intake of breath from my lips. Tears flooded my eyes without mercy, the irritation provoking them faster than I could contain. I squeezed my eyes shut briefly, letting the pain do its work as the tears poured out, raw, convincing, and utterly irresistible.Al

  • Divorce? Just Not Yet Darling!   What's Wrong?

    Alex's POVI shifted uneasily on the seat and for what felt like the hundredth time, another sigh escaped my lips. I wasn't keeping count, but I'm sure Dune was, as he yet again shared a glance from the rear mirror."Is everything alright sir?" He asked, concerned, curious, and eager for an answer he knew wouldn't come. Dune knew me better than this. I never shared my personal feelings with him, but he relentlessly never ceased to inquire about my comfort whenever he sensed something was off."It's nothing", came my curt response, an answer he knew too well.I stared out the tinted window as the car hummed softly, hands folded together, fingers interlocked so tightly my knuckles ached, trying so hard to distract myself, but nothing worked.Bella!The name suddenly smelt ominous as it seeped into my thoughts again. I've had no reason to be bothered about Bella since she came into my life. She always did what she was asked and that was good enough for me —no secrets, always transparent

  • Divorce? Just Not Yet Darling!   The Guts

    Bella's POVJust a few inches past him and his muscular hand pulled me strongly, making me crash into his chest. The unmistakable scent of bergamot and sandalwood lingering on his well-tailored coat wafted into my nostrils. It was a welcoming scent, yet the vexation that lined his features was a disapproval. Without permission, his index finger pulled my chin up so that my eyes peered into his. It was deep, rich brown, like the earthy scent of freshly turned soil or the warmth of a slow-burning fire. His iris flecked with golden specks, but behind these, was a burning flame fueled with impatience."Don't play games with me, Bella", he warned, his tone icy and frost as he stared down at me. "You're tempting me to punish you, and trust me you won't want that".I snickered and pressed my face closer to his, before I could stop myself. Or perhaps, before my courage failed me. I accepted it gladly as a challenge.I was no longer the Bella I used to be and I wanted to ring it loud in my ev

  • Divorce? Just Not Yet Darling!   You're Tempting Me

    Bella's POV A soft binge from an incoming notification forced my dark screen to suddenly glint and had my attention drawn to it. But the message on the screen was something I was certainly not prepared for.I quickly grabbed the phone, almost dropping it. My eyes scanned through the message.It read.....Good morning,Mrs Bella Hayes, we have received your application for a two months study on effective art and gallery management. We are happy to inform you that you have been offered provisional admission into Beryllium High as student 0028. Please visit the branch nearest to you to complete your admission requirements. Regards!I clasped a hand over my mouth, overwhelmed with emotions. I'd applied to the Beryllium High a few days ago while at the hotel, for a training on how to manage a gallery and know effective ways of going about the business. My architect, Mr Collins had helped contact an agent, claiming that entering into the school was based on connection and the agent would

  • Divorce? Just Not Yet Darling!   He Called Them Tiny

    Bella's POVBut as the last words fell out, my back met the wall in an unexpected solace. My all-too-defensive face melted down to a jeer, and before I could think of moving away, it was too late. Alex got to me just in time and trapped my body in place, inclined his hand to the wall, so our bodies were caged together in close range......My breath hitched. Our bodies were mere inches apart, with his muscular build towering over me with such authority that it commanded submission. I could feel his breath on me, slow and gentle like a soothing breeze that could calm the storms of the world. On the other hand, I felt small and vulnerable under his gaze. And instantly, I lowered my eyes to the floor. Whether it was merely me being shy or not, I just couldn't look him in the eye with such closeness. I could feel the tension that hung over us. Then, suddenly, he smirked."You know..." he started, his voice slightly loosened from all the tightness earlier and his eyes narrowing mischievou
