Scott wanted to push her away. He imagined just standing up with great force so she could shift away from him or even fall off the bed. He contemplated brushing her away with his arm and then giving her a stern warning never to do that again.However, he did none of that. He just lay there as her warm breath continued to spray on his neck and her fingers continued to work wonders on his tensed nerves.Cora seemed to realize that more tolerant so she moved on top of him. Sitting on his butt, she massaged from the small of his back upwards. She repeated this motion a few times.After some time, Scott didn't feel her touch anymore. He thought she was applying ointment to him again, but the next second, he saw the shirt of her nightie lying on the bed.An alarm rang went off in his head. He pressed his hands on the bed and lunged backward. Suddenly, Cora moved. She sat on his back, forcing him to lie back down. She wrapped her hands around his chest and kissed his cheek again."What are y
Open Marriage: It Takes Two To Tango CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: Go Behind Her Back
A stalemate ensued between the two of them. While Zara was angry, panicking and confused, Scott was actually giving her a look of certainty. She could see in his eyes that he knew the truth.The day she dreaded for a long time had finally come to pass. She was at her wits end now. For the first time in her whole life, she wished she could just disappear. The look on Scott's face told her he wasn't going to leave here until she agreed to his demands.The last thing she wanted was to co-parent with him. Scott's life was too messy to get him involved in Jayden's. Besides, she wanted to keep her bundle of joy as far away from Cora as possible. She still hadn't forgotten how Jayden lost his teeth because of that wicked witch."Hey, are you still with me?" Scott snapped his fingers, moving closer to her desk.Zara finally looked up at him. As her heart tightened, so did her fists. Suddenly, she slapped the desk and shot to her feet. "Get out!""What?""I said, get out!" Zara pointed at the

It was already ten o'clock by the time Zara slipped on a pair of flat shoes and grabbed her bag. She was going to work particularly late today. Having stayed up late to binge-watch cartoons with Jayden since it was Friday night, she slept in and only woke up about thirty minutes ago.Zara still had some tasks to do at work, and also a few errands to run. After saying goodbye to her grandmother and checking on her dozing son, she went to the company. There were a few employees present now; most of which were handling pressing projects.She said hi to the workers and walked into her office. After opening the blinds, she was just about to sit at her desk when she noticed something on the edge of her desk. It was a rectangular box wrapped tightly in a transparent plastic bag like it was some fragile item.Picking it up, she realized there was no card. She picked up the office phone and pressed it to her ear. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door."Come in!" she said, dialing a number.Bri

Zara knew he wasn't fibbing when he told her three weeks ago that he was going to be back. However, she had expected him to return a few days after that incident. And when he didn't, she began to think he had already taken the hint. She rushed to him and yanked the pictures from his hand. "You do have a lot of nerve coming here after that last episode. I could get you arrested for trespassing. Don't you know that?" "Trespassing?" Scott smacked his lips and shook his head. "I came here to see you. I did not trespass!" "How else do you explain coming into my office uninvited then?" Zara asked, folding her arms as she stared at him squarely. Scott chuckled. "I came here to discuss something very important. You should at least listen to me before having my head on a stake." A glint of remorse flashed in Zara's eyes. Her tensed arms loosened a little. She moved over to the other side of her desk. "Fine! To what do I owe this unpleasant visit?" "Before we get into that, when were you g

Dread filled Zara's heart when she heard the man's words. On the other hand, Scott remained as calm as ever. He gripped the phone tighter and asked, "What do you want? Money, protection? Just name it. I will give it to you."A laugh came from the phone. "Did you just say protection? I'm afraid you can't give me that. You haven't even been able to protect yourself lately. How can you protect someone else?"It took Scott a while to realize what the caller was driving it. "You are the one who sent me that gory package?""Nah, nah! Don't get started with the accusations. I didn't do anything like that. It was someone else. I don't have a beef with you, Scott Brown. My hands are completely clean regarding your current predicament. In fact, I'd love to know who did that. It might be connected to what happened fifteen years ago.""What!" Scott exclaimed."You heard me right. I'm aware that there has been some kind of threat to your life in recent times. It's one of the reasons why I decided

A bloodcurdling scream pierced the brief silence that ensued after the hit. It was followed by other screams. Several tables tumbled and dishes shattered to the ground as the diners ran helter-skelter in horror.Zara had already fallen to the floor. And Scott was now crouching over her body. Meters away, the strange man lay on his side with his eyes wide open as if someone had stuck glue on his eyelids. His hat had been knocked off. Now, blood seeped out of the hole in his head. Soon, there was a red streak over his forehead."Somebody call 911!" a lady who was under a table shouted. No one moved an inch. Those close to the door rushed out of the restaurant on all fours. A stampede soon ensued by the door. Babies, women, and men were screaming.Zara lay on the floor, petrified. The noise soon became distant as she stared at the strange man's face. He seemed to be staring back at her, but his eyes had no life in them. At that moment, Zara felt her stomach tighten into several knots.Su

Jordan and Zara looked at each other and then turned to the side with their glasses in hand. Not too far away stood Scott and Cora. Cora was dressed like a princess. The red dress she had on was adorned with tiny shiny diamonds and her hair was curled up and styled. The necklace on her neck shimmered under the bright light: one look at it and you could tell that it cost a fortune.Similarly, Scott had cleaned up nice. Most of his black hair was sleek back. His suit looked new and well-ironed. He had one hand in his pocket.It had only been a week since Zara last saw him. But it felt like it had been a few months as she stared at him now. Cora locked arms with him and pulled him forward. She had on the fakest of smiles Zara had ever seen."Hey, Zara, Jordan. I didn't think I'd meet you two here," she lied partially. The truth was that she had actually gotten someone to look at the guest list and nominees for the party. After finding out that Jordan was one of the nominees and Scott

Everyone in the hall went silent. Even the music stopped. The couples on the dancefloor stared at the trio intently.Zara was shell-shocked. Her jaw went slack. She blinked as if to make sure she wasn't dreaming. What did Scott just say? Did he say that he loved her? Was he drunk? Ha, this has got to be a joke!At the thought of this, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "You have got to be kidding me, Scott! Stop making such expensive jokes. You are going to give people the wrong idea."Scott inched closer. "I'm not kidding, Zee. I truly love you. It might sound unbelievable, but my heart calls your name. I still want you."The onlookers gasped at this. Zara looked around, only to find that all eyes were on her now. Her heart suddenly began to thump. She looked at Scott who had been staring at her with his eyes glistening strangely.Zara was tongue-tied now. Thankfully, Jordan came to her rescue. He put his arm around her shoulder and broke Scott's hold on her wrist. He then said, "Le
