ELAINE.

I press my ears to the door to be sure that there is no sound of anybody walking before opening the door and peeping before padding softly to the room.

He was outside on the balcony leaning over still in his robe.

A cold shower must have reset my brain a little because I somehow had my senses more put together.

I got dressed quickly, choosing a white shorts and a floral top from the selection packed for.

    Nik had kissed her before many times. He had kissed her gently, he had kissed her coaxingly, he had even kissed her teasingly—especially during those earlier times when we were on our baby moon, before the twins came. Later had come the impassioned kisses, the ones he’d struggled to keep in check because their desires had ignited so easily then. Today he was kissing me with so much anger and angst. “Nik..” I called out in fear, my entire body was shaking. The depths of the emotions I was feeling felt like it could topple me and swallow me whole “Don't…” my voice fell on deaf ears, and he looked as if he was quite set on not listening to me. “ Don't what?” He bit out tersely. “I hate you.” I rasped out, my breath now falling in short heavy pants, responding in full to the man whose weight had me pinned to the bed. “Yes, but you want me. You want me so bad that you can't even deny it.” His response was so true that the flimsy tee shirt I had pulled on when I crawled into bed earl

    Chapter:. “Where the hell did you put your phone?” He yelled in my face and I clammed up straight away. “What?” Confused at how he had the audacity to be mad at me, when he is the one who had gone on another silence war. “You called me. Four times, you haven't called me once in two weeks and all of a sudden you're calling me four times. Do you know how worried I was?” He yelled and grabbed the edge of my shoulder so that I could see the variety of emotions being displayed. “You sent me a text..” I stammered. The text had made me so mad, and I wanted to give him a piece of my mind then. “Okay, and? So why did you switch off your phone? Do you have any idea how worried I was? I thought something had happened to you again.” He yelled and the fight drowned out of me. The fear in his gaze made my heart squeeze in hurt on his behalf. It was clear that he was thinking of the time I got kidnapped, but earlier in the day I wasn't thinking about him or wanting to be reached when I switch

    ELAINEI woke up to the twins peering over me with their big soulful eyes and grinning cheeks and immediately I couldn't help but smile. “Mama,” Daniel greeted and pressed his chubby cheeks to mine, and whatever hurt or misgiving I was feeling melted away for a second. “Hi my babies,” I greeted back and hugged the twins in my grasp before taking turns tickling them, and their sweet giggles was the only balm that could mend or fix how I was feeling presently. The room door opened and Nik entered fully dressed in a blue three piece suit and an expression that said something was wrong. He had a bandaid on his neck and I blushed in shame before ducking my head so he couldn't catch my gaze. Sometimes last night I wanted to hurt him as badly as I felt and I remember scratching at his neck and back even drawing blood. The tension was back in my stomach, mixed with a little bit of self loathing at myself for wanting this man even now that I hate him. But that's not what you said last n

    Nik. I felt like holding her hands and dragging her back home in our bedroom and curling up in bed, and listening to her talk my head off, while stealing kisses in between instead my hands behind her to guide her towards the table where we were led to. The moment we got there the older Spanish male and his wife beamed and I plastered my fake smile. “Mr Stavros” he greeted me and I took his hand in a warm shake. Our wives exchanged kisses and I looked proudly when the older woman gushed over my wife’s beauty. Elaine smiled shyly and I looked on in admiration. “Your wife is so beautiful,” Simone gushed and I nodded with pride. On its own accord my hands went to help move a loose tendril from her face to tuck behind her ears, and our eyes caught together in a I watched her behind as she walked away and I let out a groan of exasperation. “Fuck.” It’s almost like every single time I open my mouth to talk to her, I just make it worse than it already is. Just gasoline to

    Elaine I stared at the man in front of me, as he casually went back to spooning his mouth full of crème brûlée and I couldn’t even close my mouth. “Are you kidding me?” “You of all people should know that I do not kid,” he sounded so flippant that my head could help swarming at how arrogant this man was. “Who gives out a restaurant in the center of New York as a push present?” My mouth was still ajar. “Me.” The one worded answer had my brain finally unlocking and I screeched in excitement jumping on himHe chuckled at my excitement and it dawned on me that I was outside in public so I adjusted myself and tried to contain my excitement“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.” I repeated over and over kissing him all over the face. “It’s not a big deal, Peristeraki” he murmured, his face red from embarrassment. “Thank you, I love you.” I added without restraint. The words had already left my lips before it dawned on me what it was that I just said. I watched the man who went

    Nik“Why not?” She asked and I could hear the bitterness and anger seeping through. “I have to work, and I have some projects I'm presently overseeing” I answered gently, trying not to escalate the matter, and spoon some of the delicious dessert into my mouth. The night had been going so well, a
