Her husband's wife Let me keep you warm
Devyn checked his watch for the fifth time while waiting for Richard in the car. The conference was supposed to hold for two days but Richard kept adjourning it until the third day. Eventually it was over, they had returned to the hotel but Devyn had to drive him back to the company because he forgot his phone and a file in the conference hall. It was raining outside, Devyn had tried to stop him, telling him they would get it tomorrow on their way going to the airport but he refused, his phone was more important and he also had to work on some documents tonight. Devyn looked out through the window but there was no sign of him anywhere, suddenly he heard a sound from the backseat. He abruptly looked back to see him putting the file on the backseat, he shut the door and hopped in the passenger seat. “You're wet.” He said with concern.“Just drive to the hotel.”Devyn shrugged off, obviously he was exhausted by overwork, perhaps he had been depriving himself of a good sleep lately. His
Her husband's wife Forgiveness
After the lecture was over almost all the students had left the lecture theatre, Charlene hadn't budged from where she was sitting. Perhaps she didn't notice Fiona and Javier were waiting for her as she was the one that was holding them back from leaving. She rubbed her eyes with the heel of her hands while trying to get a clear vision of the paper she placed on the table. Fiona was beside her, staring at what she was squiggling on the paper. Javier rose from his seat, he stepped down then stopped beside her. “I have to go, we'll catch up tomorrow. So next week we'll begin to work on the project.” It sounded more like a question however he didn't expect an answer from her. Instantly she squiggled the last word she put down the pen and gazed up at his face. She beamed. “Very well. Take care of yourself.” He nodded. “Um.” He glanced at Fiona beside her, without any gesture or any reaction he began to walk toward the exit. Charlene focused on him until he was out of the hall. She was
Her husband's wife Interrupted by a call
She had tried not to think about what Kathleen said but it was futile, no matter how many times she shrugged off it always flashed across her mind. Suddenly she hit her forehead, grumbling with frustration. She glanced around the living room to see the maid who brought a glass of juice standing quietly beside her. Charlene lifted a puzzle brow. “What's the matter?” She didn't understand why she hadn't left.“I thought you might need something else. Should I prepare a bathtub for your bath or you want me to assist you with something else?” The maid noticed something, however she couldn't ask her. She was only a mere maid, if it was Richard she dare not trespass. They all feared him because of his temper. Charlene scanned her from the toes to the head then shook her head. “No, I don't need anything. You may leave.” She switched her gaze on the magazine she was holding.“Okay, ma'am.” She said, turned around and left.Charlene lifted her head, looking at her as she was leaving. She roll
Her husband's wife A reason to love her
He sighted her car parked opposite the mansion, she was standing by the car, looking at him grimly. As if he cared, he sauntered casually toward her with his hands stuffed in his trousers pockets. “You never learned to be fast, right? You kept me waiting out here.” She seethed, glaring at him scornfully.“Like hell did I invite you here? What the hell do you want? How many times have I told you to stop calling me?’She rolled her eyes insolently. “You know what to do if you're tired of me. I'm here to see my son and your gatekeepers won't let me in.” “Then deal with it. I don't want you near my son and if you dare to be smart, Henrietta, don't make me do what I'd regret later.”“Perhaps are you planning to get rid of me? Richard, I'm your baby's mother.” She coaxed.“A warning!” He was obviously exasperated by her response. He snapped at her, she flinched back.She gasped, never expecting that from him though, however she knew he wouldn't welcome her. His cheerful countenance was rep
Her husband's wife New changes
She insisted on coming with her to his residence, they had tried to reach him through phone call but to no avail. There was no one Charlene could call, Javier was the only child, if at all he had a sibling she would have called to ask about him. The car halted opposite the mansion, Charlene got her phone from her handbag. “Are we at his residence already?” Fiona was wondering but the ride duration from the campus to the mansion was five minutes, he didn't live far from the campus unlike Charlene. “Yes, let's go.” They alighted from the car. James was going to wait, driving Fiona to her workplace before driving Charlene home. They crossed to the opposite side, Charlene walked ahead leaving her behind, she pressed a button on the wall. “Who's there?” A lady's face popped on the screen. Before Charlene could reply she had called her name. “Mrs Sullivan.” The gate unlocked automatically, they trudged inside. It was hush, his parents hired only two maids. “Do you think he's home?” “I
Her husband's wife Her name
Saturday was supposed to be a fun day, sleeping all day could be quite exhausting, shopping like there was no tomorrow wasn't that exhilarating anymore–going out for fun; visiting a friend, Charlene couldn't think of anything fun than going out. She was awfully tired of sitting at home, studying, online shopping, lost in reverie and soliloquizing. Those weren't fun to her anymore.She wasn't the type that had many friends, lately she considered Fiona as her friend. The only person that flashed across her mind the moment she concluded to go out, her name rang in her head like a lullaby, Fiona. Instantly she took her phone on the king size and curled up with a book in her hand. She had been lingering in the same position while roaming her eyes in the room. Her phone bleeped, she leaned forward, uncurled to reach for her phone, she took it and read Fiona's reply. She texted her that they should rendezvous at a five star restaurant. She received an instantaneous response from Fiona. Char
Her husband's wife Feedback from his attorney
She was waiting for the lecture to end so she could talk to him before he left without saying a word to her. Instead of making a note her gaze focused on him, he was listening and watching the professor in total concentration. However She definitely didn't hear anything else, her mind was swayed, perturbed as she was sitting, playing with a pen, scrambling nothing on her book. ”That's the end of the lecture...” Professor Clark packed his text book and laptop into his bag then left the lecture theater. Students had started leaving the lecture theatre one after the other, Charlene sprang up from her seat, she took her handbag, the book and her pen then stood on the way she assumed he would take. Javier noticed so he whirled to take another exit, he made to leave without talking to her, but before he could take another step further, she called his name softly. “Javier, wait.” He didn't look back but he stopped walking. She sighed, walking over to where he was standing. “Hi.” He loo
Her husband's wife Their first night
The bodyguards bowed as they walked past them, Richard seemed not to notice anything else including the guests that were drooling over him. Devyn never stopped smiling at the bodyguards at the entrance. “Welcome, sirs.” A giant bodyguard greeted them, directed them to a room. He unlocked the door with the key then they walked inside leisurely. The bodyguard stopped by the door as he had reached his stop, they took an elevator to the top floor meant for the VIP. “I don't understand what we're doing here in SL Tower. Are you here to meet your client?”“Actually I invited someone over here. He wants us to meet so…” He narrowed at him. They sidled out after the elevator slid open.“Oh.” He gave a feeble response. He believed the person Richard invited must be someone important like them, so he only came to the tower for a conference with foreigners. Surprisingly when Devyn saw director Wilson, the least person he expected, he twitched his lips.Wilson rose, he smiled brightly at Richard
