Chapter 4

Oliver

I could barely register in my head the time that we finally slept. All I knew was that I haven’t felt the warmth of a woman for so long and she was my remedy to calm down the nerves wreck havocking in my system.

I knew I had crossed the line by sleeping with my best friend’s wife but I couldn’t hold myself back the moment she walked in to my space, breathing the same air as she looked at me with those bedroom eyes, that stripped me the last bit of my control.

I saw an opportunity and I grabbed it selfishly. I wasn’t going to turn a blind eye on her when she’d presented herself in front of me to claim.

I smiled devilishly “Whatever I want I get.”

From the very first day I laid my sight on her, I fell hard for her. I was just a bystander scheming for a moment alone with her. Now, she’s never getting away from me.

After sleeping in my bed, she is not allowed to look at another man, not even my best friend.

She tightened her gripped around my chest and muttered sleepily “I feel so sore. What the hell happened to me at night?”

I must have been too much for her to handle. Her body was covered with marks everywhere. I ravished her until she almost fainted. When I was finally done, she was barely conscious.

I took my shower and dressed up. Then I sat waiting for her to wake up. I have so many plans for her and the last thing on my mind was Jeff. He could go to hell for all I care.

 He’d treated her like dirt under his feet and played with her life like a freaking game.

Finally, her eyes opened. She lifted her head towards me shyly.

“Oliver, you’re still here. I thought that you would be gone by now.” she muttered self deprecatively. In her mind, she had already accepted the fact that I was going to abandon her and that we were only a one-night stand.

“Get dressed. We need to talk. “I instructed and she complied. She presented a calm demeanor, her expression distance and cold. Somehow, I didn’t like it that she was guarded towards me like her sworn enemy, but I couldn’t blame her either.

 All I ever did was show her hate.  She probably thought that I’ll start humiliating her.

She cleared her voice, her eyes looking anywhere but mine “Oliver, this was a mistake. Let’s forget that it ever happened just like we had agreed. We owe each other nothing, okay. It wouldn’t be good for both of our reputations if this goes out in the public eyes.”

“I don’t take instructions from other people, not even you. I make the rules. Whatever we agreed on is void and null. Now, you’re going to do as I say if you don’t want problems with me.” I stated sternly and she lifted her face to look at me.

“What do you mean by that? We had a moment of weakness. I’m not proud of betraying my sacred vows and I can’t be the reason why you two are going to   be on each other’s throats. Believe me, Jeff is just a volcano waiting to erupt in to a hot mess. “She stated decisively.

I creased my face, jaws tightening impatiently. “Whatever, here is what you’re going to do. I’ll give you time to divorce Jeff and then you’ll become my woman. If not, I’ll send him the intimate photos of us. it’s your choice.”

 Her face turned pale as she stared daggers at me “Was this your plan all along? To threaten me and make me be your mistress? I am still married!”

She let out a sarcastic laugh” Oh…I am such a fool!”

I cocked my brows at her words “You’ re right. I used you and you fell for it. You have no option but to do as I say.”

“Why the hell would you do that to me? Oliver, you hate me! You can’t stand my sight. The two of us is a match made in hell.” I was at my wits end. I had lost my mind like a fucking mad woman and I belonged in the fucking asylum.

“I don’t even know what came over me to involve myself in this treacherous action. I’m sorry but I am not doing this with you. I am not that kind of a woman who sleeps around with men but this ends here, okay. “

I creased my face impatiently “Well, whoever sleeps with me, stays with me. I do not care whether you are my friend’s wife or not.”

 Just then her phone rang, she looked at it with an ugly frown on her face before picking it up.

“Where the fuck are you? “Jeff ‘s angry voice came over the phone and I felt like grabbing the phone and breaking it in to little pieces.

“Tell him that you are busy, damn it “ I growled and she stared daggers  at me .

“Who the hell is that? Is that a man’s voice? “Jeff became irritated as he asked.

“It’s none of your business “She replied.

“Are you cheating on me, you bitch? Get your ass back home right away. You better have a very good explanation why you spent a night out without my permission. Are you not ashamed of yourself? “He continued yelling as Jasmine listened to him emotionlessly.

Jasmine rolled her eyes “Have you ever asked for my permission the countless times that you spent nights out with your friends or business associates? You have no right to patronize me. So, you better leave me alone “She fired back and I felt like laughing my guts out.

 She was finally standing up for herself.

“If you dare spread your filthy legs to another man, I’ll kill the both of you. Mark my words “he yelled and then cut off the phone conversation.

 I leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips “And remember that you are not my one-night stand. I’ll call you any time that I want and if you fail to come, I’ll spill the beans about our affair. Let’s see if he won’t send you packing.”

 I had to use every means possible to get her away from Jeff. It killed me inside that she was going back to him the same way it has been tormenting me all those years she’s been playing a perfect wife. I couldn’t bear the thought of him touching her or even kissing her.
