-
When I got my passbook from the bank teller, I checked its contents. A bitter smile touched my lips after seeing only eigthy dollars left on my bank account.
After all the important thing I have paid off the debt and I no longer owe monthly payments.
After leaving the bank and since I was already at the mall, I bought a chocolate cake.
“Ma’am, what should I put on the dedication cake?” The person who assisted me at this cake shop asked.
“Happy fourth wedding anniversary,” I answered the woman with a smile.
“Wow! Congratulations, Ma’am.”
“Thank you.”
After buying the cake, I also bought a platter of spaghetti. Joshua, my husband, told me he would be busy and would work overtime, so I wanted to surprise him.
He worked for a multi-billionaire jewelry company, therefore he was often busy and almost slept there.
We need to get better at work to pay off all our debts. I often help him with his works and other work for the company.
My surprises are sure to bring a huge smile to his face. Aside from paid our debt, I can get a promotion tomorrow if my presentation is successful.
I can’t wait to tell all the good news to my husband and this time we can start a family.
Upon arriving at the company, I signed first for the visitor’s lounge.
“Thank you,” I said, thanking the staff for giving me my visitor ID.
I headed straight for the elevator and, with office hours having concluded almost two hours prior, I saw no employees and reached the level where my husband was.
I surveyed surroundings and noticed an absence of people.
I proceeded to Joshua’s table and placed the food. The bag he always brought was still there, so that meant he hadn’t left yet.
“Ooh! Ahh!”
I looked where a woman’s moan came from.
“A-Ahh, baby!”
I walked slowly and tried not to make any noise.
Afraid to even hear my breathing, I hold my breath.
“A-Ahhh!!”
Arriving outside the office where the voice came from, the door opened slightly, allowing a glimpse of the occupant. My husband was visible on the sofa, between my best friend’s legs, both naked and both ejaculating, kissing each other as if they were so hungry for each other.
I couldn’t bear to look at them. They disgusted me.
I’m not certain how I walked with the tenderness I felt. I left that floor and went straight out of this company.
I took the first taxi I had encountered. When I got in, I told the driver my exact address.
How were two important people in my life able to do this to me? My husband is the only man who loved me and Hazel, the only best-friend since we were in middle school.
————
As I entered the house, I cried unceasingly. I filled every corner of the house with my cries.
Never in my dreams would I have thought they would do this to me.
I didn’t realize how many hours I cried and I just noticed my unfaithful husband’s arrival.
I stood up to talk to him thoroughly.
I am uncertain how to address him regarding what I witnessed, how to commence. I don’t want us to end up arguing.
I opened my mouth, but before I could speak, he spoke first, which I stopped.
“Our marriage is no longer valid.”
He took a folder from his bag and placed it on the table.
“Aren’t you going to explain why you cheated on me—”
“I don’t love you.” He sounded sure of every word he uttered.
My jaw was hanging in the air. My brain couldn’t process what he said.
He didn’t love me, he didn’t love me anymore. Those two are different.
He let out a sigh. “I saw what you left on my table, I presume you saw me and—”
My palm flew to his cheek. This was the first time my palm had touched his cheek like this.
“You don’t even intend to explain?” I asked in disbelief while holding back tears.
“I don’t love you. What don’t you understand about that?” He asks irritably.
“You don’t love me? We’ve been married for four years. Why did you do this to me now? Of all people, why my best-friend?”
“Your friend can help me get promoted to general manager of the company. Have you got know on the position’s level and the salary it offers? If her mother resigns, they will help be the next general manager of multi-billionaire company.”
Before we got married, we separated for three years—after we graduated from college. He subsequently returned to me and, following our intimidate wedding, he joined the company where Hazel is working with Hazel’s assistance and her mother.
Ever since he started working, I’ve been doing almost all of his reports, so it’s like I have two jobs, but all of my salary goes to paying bills and paying off his debt and his parents debt–which we owe because we got married.
“I don’t need your help anymore to do my job,” he said with a smile. “Hazel will help me get a higher position in that company.”
He stayed at his job for a long time because of me, because of my making his works. All this time, he just used me it to last at work.
“I should have given you this last month and told you,” he said without hesitation.
Last month, I stayed up several nights to do his fault reports. After revising several times, it was approved.
I didn’t even receive a thank you from him, thinking he was so busy why he forgot to say at least thank you.
Joshua removed the documents from the folder and handed them to me. “We’ve been divorced for over a month.”
Az rubbed his eyes tiredly. It’d been days since he last had a peaceful night’s rest. Lord of Grimstone. He often found himself laughing at the title. He wasn’t lord of anything—at least not yet. His people didn’t seem to think so with their constant rebellion of him and stealing from him, no matter that he tried his best to ensure even the darkest parts of Grimstone got ridded of their poverty.They didn’t warm up to him. They called him a freak. It was pathetic and he should have known Jessamine was lying the moment she started batting those long lashes of hers and speaking to him sweetly.He left Dawn after the wedding and he’d been at Grimstone for a total of seven months now. And in that time she’d come to see him thrice, with her twin boys, Wren and Alder. They both had their mother's eyes, but that was where the resemblance ended. The rest was all Kier. From their red hair down to their angry growls whenever Az didn't give them what they wanted.Of course, Jessamine had come to
Jessamine If you’ve ever been away from home for too long, you’d understand the feeling of your stomach plummeting at the most familiar scents, the urge to breathe in deeply, feel everything, reacquaint yourself with every single detail—details that suddenly seem more vivid and…and intense. That is all I can call this—coming home. Somehow, between punching Kier and telling him I hate him and I’ll return to my father’s castle and find me a man who isn’t quite as infuriating as he is, he’d kissed me. Concussion be damned, Kier’s lips heal me in more ways than any physician could. I walk Kier back into the throne room, pushing off the remains of his shirt. His fingers tangle in my hair as his lips on mine reminds me of the first time…the first time I saw him. His eyes looked like a tear from an ocean of peridots. His hair was shorter, not long enough to run my fingers through, but I was fascinated by the rich hue of it. He rarely smiled then, but when he did, it was bright as starlight
My fingers shake and I hide them behind my back as I round the corner. Slowly, I approach, the large oak door standing ominously in the distance. I wipe the sweat from my wrist against my light skirts and grip tightly as my chest thumps. Once. Twice. The closer I draw, the heavier the dagger under my skirt weighs. The maids behind me chatter, but I barely hear the words they say. I try to hide it behind a show of boredom but the fear creeps up my spine and it is all I can do to keep going. It takes an eternity, but I reach the door eventually. “He’s not in,” the guard tells me when I start to open the door. There usually aren’t any, but after this morning, I understand why he has his chambers guarded. My fingers still by the door. Not in? This is when we have dinner. Every night. I didn’t factor his possible absence into my plans. Gods above. “Where is he?”“Throne room. The reports from the prisoners came back. He’s off attending to it and said to tell you to wait for him.”Oh no.
Jessamine“I didn’t do it,” Killian growls for the umpteenth time. His gaze darts to me. “She did. This is her attempt at trying to get rid of me. Tell me what motive I would have to set the freak free. I’d gain nothing from it. I wasn’t even in the castle!”His argument would seem solid enough to Atticus if he wasn’t also accusing me of framing him. Darrock got out last night. Kier didn’t. When I heard the news, I bawled for hours in the bathroom, keeping the water running to drown out the sound. Why didn’t he leave? Because he’s mad at me? He claimed that I destroyed him last night. His eyes were hurt and broken. Why didn’t he just fucking leave?Atticus’s head tilts left. “Where were you last night?”Killian hesitates, his jaw grinding. I ponder on his reluctance to tell Atticus where he’d run off to. The bonfire. His gaze cuts to Raya and his fists clench. “The queen informed me of Raya’s plans to leave. I had to go bring her back.”Raya gives me a look that is equal parts be
JessamineHe’s drunk. I should have known serving him glass after glass would lead here. My hands trapped in his, held above my head, and his body a cage above mine. His long lashes flutter as he breathes in deeply. “Say it again.”The lie comes as easy as breathing. “I’m yours.”His canines gleam as he gives me a smile no one else has seen. “Youknowwhat intriguesme themostaboutyou?” His words tumble out together and it takes only a second to pull them apart as he leans in, his hot breath tickling my nose. “That I can’t tell your lies apart from your truths.”“Now, that is a terrible lie,” I whisper, reaching up to brush my lips against his chin. He shudders, a strangled noise building in his throat. “You like that you never know what I’m thinking. You love the danger I present. It excites you. It is why you keep me close, despite knowing I have a dagger strapped to my thigh, especially made to kill you. You romanticize with death, and death I will be, for you.”His response is a hea
JessamineKier might have been in chains and covered in dirt and blood, but there will never be any man as beautiful as him. He hasn’t noticed me yet, his teeth bared at the guards fighting to put him on his knees. The humans gasp, the smell of their fear filling the room when his bound arms ram into the side of a guard’s head, knocking him out.That earns him a growl from Killian who doesn’t hesitate to draw his sword and ram it into the back of Kier’s head. My mate stumbles, his blood spilling down his torn brown shirt, and he falls on one knee. I start to stand from Atticus’s lap, a growl traveling up my throat, when Atticus breathes against my neck, “Does his discomfort trouble you? You forget that he abandoned you, left you to rot here while he chose them again over you.”Kier would never, but I don’t say that. My mind is whirling in so many directions. How could he surrender? How could he let them…take him? How…my eyes widen when Lloyd walks in next and bows low, to the hip as h
