42: I fucked up
The police, really? What was she thinking when she made those silly threats?
Leila hid herself in the bathroom while Kelvin packed up. If he filed for a divorce, she wouldn’t agree. She didn’t want him to leave her. And it wasn’t up to two years yet.She didn’t mean to push him but when he came so close to her, that feeling of helplessness crept over her and she reacted without thinking. For a moment, she thought he was Charles and had imagined him dragging her to the bed and...Why did he have to kiss that lady? Here she had been preparing for their time together and he was there at the clinic getting comfortable with another woman. Was that why he asked her to leave? It was unfair.Leila closed her eyes but the pictures she received earlier played in her mind.Breakfast had come as usual. Then she took her bath, ready to call him to know what time she could visit when her phone pinged with pictures. His shirt was unbuttoned in all tBab terkait
His Contract Wife 43 || Sister-in-law
It had been one week since Leila saw her husband. Within that week, she could count the number of times she ate on one hand. There were no flowers but breakfast and dinner always came at the appointed time.The fridge was stocked up, she had warned the delivery boy to stop sending food to their apartment. But it was of no use. He had a job and he intended to do it.Her days went by in a blur. She lived out her routine like a zombie. Waking up, going to the office. Bath and repeat. Today was the first time she was doing something outside of the routine. She hoped to get some answers. If not from Kelvin but from Amara.Leila hit the number on the elevator. It was ten minutes past close of work, and most of her colleagues had gone home. The elevator stopped on Kelvin’s floor, she held her bag tighter and made the short walk to his office. Pushing the straps of her handbag up her shoulder, she knocked.The door opened to reveal Amara, instead of letting her ins
His Contract Wife 44 || Don’t be mad at me
Leila was on her way out of the clinic when she saw Charles. He was waiting by his car and as soon as he spotted her, he waved. She leaned on the door for support, tempted to run back into the clinic to stay with her sister-in-law.The two had bonded over tales about Kelvin’s childhood. His favourite colour was black, which came as no surprise to her since he mostly wore only black suits. Madonna was nicer than she gave her credit for, they exchanged numbers with a promise to have a girls night out in the future.The comfort from spending time with someone who was on her side faded the moment Charles appeared. He had done enough damage, why couldn’t he leave her alone? She stormed towards the smiling man.“Are you following me?” she asked.Her eyes darted left, right and centre to be sure no one was watching them. Charles opened the passenger door of his Benz for her but she shook her head. She didn’t want to be anywhere near him as
His Contract Wife 45 || Another chance
Leila roused slowly. The first thing she noticed was that she was on something soft and firm. Her eyes flew open. She was on the bed. How did she get here? Kelvin’s side of the bed was cold. He didn’t sleep here.The second thing she noticed was her dress and it somehow saddened her. Was he so mad at her he didn’t change her out of her work clothes? If he had done that, she wouldn’t have minded. A yawn escaped her. By the time she freshened up, changed and checked the time. It was 3 am. She would have loved to return to sleep but her mind was busy.On a whim, she dialled her husband’s number. He must have come back to the house but she couldn’t say for sure if he stayed back or left. A ringtone from the house had her shooting to her feet. She pulled her robe tighter around herself.The sound was coming from the guest room.Her footsteps echoed throughout the house. In front of the guest room, she took a deep breath and pushed t
His Contract Wife 46 || One thousand times
It wasn’t until thirty minutes after Kelvin was done bathing and dressing up that Leila stepped into the study. Kelvin could barely focus on his work. He wasn’t mad at her but he wasn’t happy with her either. Mia sent those pictures. A short visit to his sister’s friend revealed that. The next time that would happen, Mia would be spending some time in prison. He made that crystal clear to her before ending their conversation.“Hey.”Kelvin didn’t look up but his back was straight. “Hi.”Leila came closer to him, her hand on his shoulder felt like lead. On a different day, he might have pulled her into his lap. They seemed to take one step forward and ten steps backward. Kelvin was growing tired of it.“What do I need to do to earn your forgiveness?”Her question made him look up. He dropped his pen and motioned for her to sit. She dragged the swivel chair close to him, sat near enough that he
His Contract Wife 47: I belong to you
When the door closed quietly behind Kelvin, Leila dumped the punishment and crawled into the bed. Her stomach was on fire and she couldn’t hold it in any longer. It was some minutes past nine, but her plan to keep calm until Kelvin left for his meeting went up in flames the moment the second bout of pain hit her.The first day of her period was the worst. It always got better but the cramps would be completely gone by the third day. Bedrest helped. If she had to be at the office, she would have popped some pills. Pills meant irregular period so she liked to stay off them as long as she could but they greatly reduced the pain.Leila pulled the covers over her head at the sound of the door opening. The bed dipped with her husband’s weight, she tugged the cover to her chin before he could do it.“Hey,” he said. She winced when her insides twisted. If she could forfeit menstruation for her whole life, she would. She didn’t understand why wome
His Contract Wife 48: Meet cute
“What’s your favourite colour?” Kelvin asked.“Yellow. You?”Leila already knew the answer to her question but she wanted to keep their conversation flowing. Today was a lazy day for her and she was loving every moment with her husband. She smiled at Kelvin as he massaged her feet.“Black,” he answered. He cracked her knuckles and she giggled like a teenager. The cramps had reduced, his presence might have to do with that. “What’s your favourite food?”He adjusted her legs on his lap and she wriggled when he began tracing circles on the sole of her feet. They were in the living room and the television was on. This was the first time they were spending time together like this in their house. Work made it near impossible.Leila grinned. “Noodles.”Her husband laughed. “That doesn’t count as real food, you know?”She didn’t know that and she would argue the
His Contract Wife 49 || Do you want to see?
The cramps were almost nonexistent by the time Leila returned home from work. She picked her ringing phone from the dresser. Her best friend was calling her on a video call. Plopping into the seat with a sigh, she wiped her makeup. That was if she could count the lipstick and winged eyeliner as makeup. Today’s workload was the same but she was exhausted.Swiping up on her screen, she frowned at Freya when her face came on. “Why are you naked?”Her best friend’s boobs occupied her screen. She shook her head when Freya pulled a shirt over her head. In the future, she might grow as confident as Freya and show off her body but for now, she was content with covering up.“Was fucking,” Freya replied. “You know that thing couples do.” Leila stifled her laugh. Her best friend was so stupid. She crumpled the wipe in her hand and placed the phone on a book so she could unbutton her shirt. “When they put their dicks into thei
His Contract Wife 50 || Horny
Kelvin could not stop laughing at his wife. His head fell back with laughter and he clutched his stomach. He should do this more often. In fact, he would make it a mission to tease his wife. His new agenda was to leave his wife flustered after working her up.After a quick shower, Kelvin stepped into the room. It was the same way he left it and Leila wasn’t back. He changed into a pair of shorts and strolled to the kitchen.The aroma of something sweet had his feet moving faster, he stopped behind Leila and wrapped his arms around her mid-torso. A current zipped through him at the contact of skin on skin. This was his first time seeing her in anything this short. Leila froze briefly, then continued stirring the creamy liquid in the pot.“What’s cooking?” he asked.The little man in his shorts was overreacting to her presence. Now, he regretted teasing her when she had only that skimpy singlet.Leila turned off the gas. “White so
