Whatever excitement I had died immediately I saw him.

He was standing at the new mini bar where we served mocktails. His suit was off, and his eyes were covered with his Rayban glasses so I couldn’t tell exactly what he was thinking.

I sighed and moved towards where he stood.

“I’ve been trying to call you,” he declared softly, looking around.

I shrugged, “I’ve been busy.”

My tone was dismissive so it was no surprise that he didn’t like it.

    Chapter: ELAINE Whatever excitement I had died immediately I saw him. He was standing at the new mini bar where we served mocktails. His suit was off, and his eyes were covered with his Rayban glasses so I couldn’t tell exactly what he was thinking. I sighed and moved towards where he stood. “I’ve been trying to call you,” he declared softly, looking around. I shrugged, “I’ve been busy.” My tone was dismissive so it was no surprise that he didn’t like it. “Are you not going to show your investor around?” He asked with a chuckle to cover up the awkwardness. I rolled my eyes, “are you here as an investor or my husband.” “So you still remember that I’m your husband.” He murmured back and walked away. I followed him until he slid beneath a booth and I took a long whiff of air before sitting opposite him. We stared at each for almost a full minute, nobody saying anything, and he huffed and relaxed in his chair before finally speaking, “why does it take so long to order in your

    ELAINE “What does this even mean?” I sat up angrily and tried to tug off the pillow. “You do not get to come home in bruises and decide when to end a conversation with me. I am your wife!” I yelled and he turned around so that we were looking at each other. “I had an altercation with someone old from the past. I shouldn’t have let my emotions get the best of me, but it did. That’s what happened.” He made to turn again from me and I dragged him back. I wasn’t done with this conversation. His nostrils flared in anger and he hauled me over so that I was lying on him half way. “So who is Don’t pick?” We stared at each other for a second and I could tell when the anger in his eyes turned to desire. “Don’t you dare kiss me. Do not dare, try to have sex with me right now!” I tried to get off but he held me by the hand. “Well, instead of fighting about your insecurities we might as well fuck.” My mouth fell open in shock. He was so cruel, unnecessarily so.

    “What happened to your face?” I watched him from my position at the vanity and dropped the under eye cream I was applying unceremoniously so that it was the only sound in the room. I could sense that he was going to shut down before he even did. “Nothing.” He shrugged. My eyes followed him as he pulled off his shirt which looked rough, another indication that he was in a fight or squabble. “Who hit you?” I asked instead. Obviously the black eye and bursted lip was an indication that someone did. “Someone disgruntled I know from the past.” He avoided my gaze as he spoke, and chose instead to begin to undress before going straight into the bathroom. I know that I should leave it but somehow the unnecessary secrecy only served to make me even more worried. I swallowed my next words and completed my night routine. It was usually simple; wear my hair in a silk scarf, because it was better for hair health, cleanse my face after brushing my teeth, and then apply my under eye cream, my

    I dropped my apple pen and folded my hand to meet his gaze head on, not bothering with an answer. “Answer me!” He roared the vein of his face bulging and ticking like a bomb about to go off. I still kept mute, because Dominic Tourette didn’t dare come into my office and order me on what I can and cannot do. “Sit down!” My voice was low, but he could tell that I was starting to get irritated. Whatever cool and calm any wife had loved into my bones this morning was slowly sipping away. “You don’t fucking tell me what to do!” Dominic gritted through his teeth and I smiled. I know I shouldn’t have but all of a sudden I could remember us eight years ago, when he was the one smiling after he and his lying, cheating wife ripped my heart out and so I needed to make this sting even more. “She came to me, she came begging by the way.” I shrugged casually knowing that it was going to hit his ego so hard but I didn’t care. “I can take care of my home and my wife.” I got up now, tired of

    Nik. My eyes roved lazily at the woman who was dressing up in front of me in appreciation. It is still a wonder to me how almost 18 months married and the attraction was almost instant. Especially seeing her perform mundane tasks and after birthing our babies. “I am not coming back into that bed with you, so you better forget about it.” Elaine rolled up her skin coloured fleece tights up her thighs and my eyes were fixated on the motion. I folded my hand under my head so I could watch her better. “How are you preparing for the re-opening?” Her face creased in frown and I chuckled, “it’s not easy to run a business" she sounded so exasperated that it was cute. “Tell me about it.” Running one restaurant was driving her crazy. I had tons of establishments across two major industries. Her eyes lit up in excitement, something that happened whenever she was emotional about what it was that she wanted to say. “Do you know how insane it is managing workers? Do you know how difficult it

    Ahhhhhh” I yelled and dropped the burger in my hand unceremoniously on the table. Nik looked at me on high alert. “You little mongrel” I yelled at the cheeky boy in my arms. “He bit me!” I pulled out my nipple and yanked up my blouse. I dropped the now crying toddler on the floor. “If you’re old enough to bite, you’re old enough to stop breastfeeding” I yelled at the cheeky monster who only flashed me a toothless grin. Maybe not fully toothless. Nik chuckled at our interaction and I dropped Daniel on his feet. He scrunched up his face and I rolled my eyes, expecting the tears but not caring about it. I picked up my burger and Daniel turned his huge brown eyes on me which I ignored again. This is the end of breastfeeding. At 14 months, the twins had started taking baby food, and cereal but I was still breastfeeding. Daniel went towards his father who lifted him and put him on his leg and ruffled his hair. I couldn’t help the smile that stretched my lips. The twins truly looked

    Nik. I stood under the shower as torrents of water poured down on my back and chest. Fuck. I shouldn't have done that. I had sworn to myself that I had better self control when it came to her. But I also really needed this. Not really sure how much pent up energy and sexual frustration I let ou

    Elaine. “Is that a threat?” His voice was dangerously low. And I stumbled backwards scared of the intensity of his gaze. His tie was loosened around his neck and the top few buttons of his crisp white shirt tugged undone. He turned and made straight for the drinks cabinet where his usual bottle

    ElAINE. The moment the plane touched down on the Tarmac, I began to buzz with excitement. I've missed this bustling city so much. I left this city 5 months ago, with zero dollars to my name, freshly legally wedded but not now. It would also be easy catching up with Elias now. Nik had promised t
