6. Bothering Elena

Aria closed her eyes a moment after she closed the bedroom door. She took a deep breath while holding her chest. Aria slowly opened her eyes when her feelings began to calm down.

"I'm not wrong, am I?" Aria asked who knows who. Aria didn't know why she felt doubtful about what she had done. Maybe because all this time Aria never wanted to say words that could potentially hurt other people's feelings.

But for Elena, it seems like it could be an exception.

When someone hears what Aria said to Elena earlier, they will think that Aria doesn't want to be separated from Jayden. But in reality it's not. If possible, even today Aria is ready to divorce Jayden.

Unfortunately Aria couldn't do that. Currently, Aria was not only thinking about her father, mother and their company, but also the tiny baby who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

"I can't let Juan grow up in an incomplete family," whispered Aria, approaching Juan and gently stroking his cheek. The baby wriggled a little, making Aria smile faintly.

"I want him to grow up with his father and mother. I don't want him to lack loveI can't let that happen," Aria muttered again.

For a moment, Aria felt selfish because of the pain Jayden had caused her. But recently Aria thought again, if she separated from Jayden then what would happen to Juan.

Aria felt like she would be the worst parent if she only thought about her feelings. That's why Aria will try to survive even though it means Aria will feel pain.

Jayden hoped that when he returned home he would be greeted with at least a hug or a kiss, but instead he received a sullen face from Elena.

"What is it, honey?" Jayden asked, unbuttoning his shirt collar.

"Just ask your ignorant wife!" Elena said folding her arms across her chest.

"Is Aria bothering you?" Jayden asked again.

Elena chuckled slightly. "Not only is she annoying, she also acts like a ruler in this house, you know?"

"What did she do to make you this upset, hmm?" Jayden pulled Elena's slender waist for an intense hug.

Elena didn't answer and instead bit her lower lip. Her body shook with extreme annoyance. Even the woman's breathing was a little ragged.

"She reminded me about my status," said Elena then looked at Jayden worriedly. "She say I'm just a woman who steals other people's husbands. Even if you marry me, people will still remember it, Jayden. And I can't accept that," continued Elena.

The look on her face truly radiated extreme anxiety. Jayden cupped Elena's cheeks to make their eyes meet.

"Hey! Calm down!" Jayden said trying to calm his lover.

"I should have the status of your wife. From the start you were mine," said Elena with teary eyes. "But why am I the one looking evil now?" The woman shook her head quickly. "I can't accept it, Jayden. I can't!" Elena screamed.

"Is just me loving you not enough?"

"No, Jayden. That's not enough." Elena quickly and firmly answered Jayden's question.

Jayden removed his hand from Elena. Exhale angrily. Damn! Aria turned out to not be as stupid as she had thought all this time.

"She just wanted to shake you up, Elena."

"And she succeeded."

"Elena---"

"Divorce Aria if you really want me to stay with you," Elena interrupted. It turned out that Jayden's pitiful face couldn't melt Elena's stubbornness.

"Then what about our plan?" Jayden asked.

"I don't care about that. All I want is for you to divorce Aria and marry me legally," Elena said finally then left Jayden to go to his room.

Jayden groaned in frustration, pulling his hair a little. Its already messy appearance became even more chaotic. Jayden is no longer as authoritative as when he was in his office. And it's all because of his wife and lover.

The narrow-eyed man turned towards the room where Aria and her son were staying. He walked quickly there. He had to talk to Aria. Giving her a little warning might scare the woman away from bothering Elena again.

But when he was about to open the door, Jayden's steps stopped. The small hum from Aria's mouth while she was cradling Juan made Jayden not move.

Jayden saw Aria from the slightly open door. The woman smiled sweetly while continuing to hum. Don't forget, she also stroked Juan's cheek, making the little baby more comfortable in his arms. Ironically, not only Juan felt comfortable, the man who was looking at her behind the door also felt warmth spreading throughout his body.

What is this feeling? Jayden asked himself while holding his chest. His heart was racing faster than usual.

No. This is not true.

Jayden then left there, not wanting to be trapped any longer.

And without him knowing, Aria noticed the man's presence. In fact, she clearly heard Elena and Jayden's conversation in the living room. The woman smiled faintly, not realizing that her simple words had succeeded in disturbing Elena.

"Do you have a choice yet?"

The first words Elena said when Jayden entered the room. The man looked at Elena for a moment who was sitting on the bed playing with her cell phone. The woman asked but her eyes remained focused on the smartphone screen.

Jayden just took a deep breath, didn't answer and immediately continued his steps towards the bathroom. Elena could only roll her eyes lazily. She could guess that her lover didn't have an answer to his demands.

Jayden let the warm water flood his body. he let out an exasperated sigh as he brushed his hand back through his hair. The man looked straight at his reflection in the mirror.

"What was that? Why is my heart beating so hard just because I saw Aria smile?" Jayden whispered to someone. Even though all this time he was fine. Besides, he also often saw Aria smiling. So why does he feel something different today that makes him feel strange.

"Tsk! This must be because my mind is confused," said Jayden, convincing himself. Pushed away the feelings that had settled in his heart.

He took another deep breath before finishing his shower.

When he came out of the bathroom, Elena was standing right in front of him, folding her arms across her chest.

"Are you ma--- uummpptthh!"

Elena's words stopped because Jayden immediately blocked the woman's thin lips with his thick lips.

"Hey! Jayden stop... eugh..." moaned Elena as Jayden quickly pressed the woman's body against the wall and then fondled her brutally.

If some women don't like it when men are rude, especially when making out, that's different with Elena. She actually really likes it when Jayden shows his dominance over her.

No one spoke there anymore. They were so engrossed in the hot activity. Jayden's hands didn't stay still. Touching every weak point on Elena's body meant that the woman could only bite her lip as an outlet for the pleasure that she could no longer describe in words.

Jayden, who was only wearing a bathrube, and Elena, who was wearing a knee-length pajama dress, made it easy for them to get to the main game.

Jayden turned Elena's body around. The dressing table next to her became a support for the body which was starting to go limp. Without warning, Jayden started his game.

"Ahh..Elena..."

It turned out that this position gave both of them a new experience in making love. Jayden could see Elene's sad face through the mirror in front of him, making the man's body burn even more with passion. They persist until release in that position.

A long time passed before Jayden withdrew his possession from Elena's core. The woman looked so tired that Jayden had to carry bridal Elena to bed.

"Have you made a decision on my request?" Elena asked with a still sad face. The remnants of that pleasure are still felt.

Jayden smiled gently then brushed Elena's sweaty forehead. He took a place on the empty side and lay down. Turning the woman's body so he could hug her from behind.

"Yes. I've decided," Jayden answered. Elena no longer asked. He chose to remain silent and listen to what the man he loved so much had to say.

"I will divorce Aria as soon as possible."

What Elena said was true. To hell with revenge plans. The man felt that he had hurt Aria enough with his attitude and actions. There was no longer any reason for Jayden to maintain that disgusting marriage.

Or maybe Jayden was afraid of losing control of his feelings and ending up hurting Elena. The woman he loved so much.
