HENDRIX’S P.O.V.

‘The first son can’t have tainted goods so I am left drawing the short end of the stick.’

I could not shake that thought away days after being forced into this situation. It left a bad taste in my mouth. How easy it was for the responsibility to be thrown at me after her parents stated that she had a child. Their exact words were ‘She is ruined, she is tainted, and has carried another man’s child’. How could a man utter such words about his daughter? I turned, not that I was a

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   197. FEVERISH LIKE A DRUG

    “Hi my angel,” “Hi baby,” I spoke into the speaker, Matteo on the passenger seat as I drove us home. It had been a battle giving my driver a few weeks off so I could drive my Brabus. I was still in shock. Every morning I saw her, I was left in awe all over again. “I miss you.” Ryan said, my eyes running to Matteo who probably wished he could disappear. “I miss you more honey. You're coming home, right?” He left Tuesday morning. “I am on my way, I have an event tonight that I want to attend.” I frowned but quickly smiled because I would still have him all to myself all weekend. “How about you join me?” “Nope, I have my evening already planned out. Get home, take a long warm bath, bake some cookies, watch a movie, eat Ana’s lasagna.” It was just the perfect evening after a long week of none stop work. “I want you to meet someone, I think you will like her.” Ryan said back with me already shaking my head. In my head I was weighing my options. On one side, spending the evening in

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   196. MARRIED LIFE

    Hendrix came to our rescue.All the other couples were gone, leaving Hendrix and Ryan. They were dirt drunk and Ryan kept insisting they go to a club. Hendrix shut it down and stood up to leave with his family. The fatigue had me by my neck. I had nearly passed out on that table. My feet were also still throbbing.“We can go,” Ryan turned to me.I shut it down hard. Any other night, yes, but that night I needed sleep like three hours ago. It was definitely past one in the morning. They were so drunk we literally had to carry their weights to the car. The cars were running, our guards having opened the door for us. I gave Ruth a good bye look, finding her struggling to get Hendrix to the passenger seat, he wanted to drive. I chuckled then followed Ryan in our car, the door closing. The cars began moving and I sighed, shifting to Ryan and lay my head on his shoulder. He lay his on mine. “Shh… baby.” He whispered in his drunken state. I was shocked he was still conscious. He had prob

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   195. MEETING HER

    The restaurant had been evacuated in a matter of thirty minutes. By the time we arrived, only the staff was there. Our table was set with a few balloons here and there along with a large happy birthday sign. I don’t know how they pulled it off but the staff and management needed a fat bonus. I was sure Ryan had scared and threatened them with everything he had. I stared back at him. He was really amazing and he was all mine.The staff was friendly and welcoming. We took our seats, and dishes were soon rolling out. Apparently, they were serving all of Hendrix’s favorite dishes, a whole menu whipped up fast with Hendrix’s special. I wanted to ask about Hendrix’s wife but didn’t want to trigger Ryan, he seemed to have finally relaxed. Hendrix also did not mention her, just saw him trying to call a few times but other than that, nothing. We ate, from starter to dessert, then the cake came out. As soon as the staff walked out, holding the large cake and so many sparklers we all stood up

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   194. A GEM

    I stared down at the baby still in my arms. My heart was full and I was happy. I was ready to be a mom, and I was more than ready to do it with Ryan whom I stole a glance from next to me. I was between these two men, fully dressed for the surprise birthday party. We had told Hendrix we were going out and gave him a lift since he had taken a drink or two while in the house. Blue had taken an afternoon nap and had needed a change after he woke up. I had ran all the way to Hendrix in horror only to watch with intense interest as he changed the diaper with such ease. It wasn’t even disgusting as I thought it would be. Blue had been all happy and kicking feet. Both Ryan and I watched, not missing a damn thing, internally taking notes. We instinctively stared at each other and I wondered if the same thought ran through both of our minds. We definitely had to take baby classes. If it were up to me, I would already be registering. I couldn’t wait for our next doctor’s appointment next week.

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   193. MEETING BABY BLUE

    I had this new addiction of brushing my stomach while in meetings. For me it felt like I was keeping the baby company, telling them I was there and cooing them. Just after my third meeting, Ryan walked in, the other board members slowly filing the hall. He did not have much time, just checking on me before reassuring me that he would come back to pick me up at eight so we could fly out. “I am going to be fine, don’t stress about me,” I said as he looked reluctant to leave me behind, but where he was going was not a place for a lady like me. We hugged and kissed, he rubbed my belly, and kissed me again before walking out. Lunch was brought up to me in my fifteen-minute break, the city’s best pasta they said, and it was like nothing I had tasted before so yeah, I was sold. I jumped back to meetings with different stakeholders and different teams. I had an hour break at four so I asked the four guards Ryan had left if we could try to visit the nearest mall for shopping. I mean, I was i

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   192. MRS BOSS

    I shook the shock off and turned, dashing to unpack my work bag, which had been placed on the desk. I turned it on, logged into the desktop, then extended my laptop screen to the computer, using the computer’s webcam to jump into the meeting.With no time to eat, I went starving. We dived right in, forgetting about food as soon as I was engulfed into the meeting, talking numbers, and planning. Two hours later, I was waving them bye, my next meeting in twenty minutes. I rushed to the coffee station, made myself hot chocolate, and was sad about the pastries cooling down but I did not waste time literally swallowing them fast so I could go check on Ryan. I wanted to see him in an office setting. Was he as goofy, or was he deadly? I swallowed the food down, leaving the hot chocolate halfway because I got too impatient. I took a side plate, carefully picking a few pastries for the love of my life, then I rushed to the door. When I walked out of the office, phone in hand, Matteo followe

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   105. GIFTS FOR THE HEART

    In a day spent surrounded by people I had begun to see as my family, for a second I found myself alone with my husband. I looked around, Samantha in the pool with Blue. Ryan had gone to take a business call in his room. Javier had left saying he was going to check on something, he was probably runn

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   97. TATTOO MY HEART

    All six of them had been friends since college. I lost myself in their banter, listening, and laughing out loud like a rascal just as they were. At some point Hendrix moved his hands and it was long minutes later when I realized I was playing on my own. He drank hi

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   98. AMBERS OF PLEASURE

    My husband was in the shower, just a glass away, naked, and washing his body. I nearly choked on the toothpaste, my face burning red. He had walked in while I had been in the shower to brush his teeth. When I stepped out, he had walked into the shower, not caring that I could see his naked body.

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   95. REUNION

    Hendrix did not eat and as soon as he was done dressing up in shorts and a t-shirt with man sandals, he picked up his keys and mentioned for us to leave. He looked so good in his casual wear, having that lazy look to him, nearly dragging his feet. He took a bottle of water from the fridge and walk
