A squeal came from Jayden the next second. The little boy threw his head back and laughed out loud. In contrast, Scott looked horrified as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He looked an absolute mess.Asides from the thick large circles around his eyes, there were small lines like whiskers at each corner of his mouth. His eyebrows were also darker than usual. On his cheeks were several small circles."What's the noise about?" Zara suddenly showed up at the top of the stairs. She rushed downstairs in a matter of seconds. After glancing at her son who was cracking up, she looked at Scott. "Why aren't you saying anything? What happened here?"Hearing this, Scott, who was backing her, slowly turned around with his hands on his cheeks. Zara's eyes widened as soon as she saw the large circles around his eyes. And when he dropped his hands, she looked even more stunned. "Who did that to you?"Even before Scott could answer, she sharply looked at her son who was still laughing out lo
Open Marriage: It Takes Two To Tango CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE: Runaway Driver
A honk was heard as the taxi driver slammed into the steering wheel. On the other hand, Scott's forehead hit the headrest of the passenger seat. His mind went fuzzy due to the impact. Other cars on the road came to a screeching halt one after the other. Honks came from all corners in an instant. Scott shook his head as he saw stars. Leaning back, he held his forehead and opened the door. He got out just in time to see a rickety white car making a sharp swerve to another lane from behind the taxi. There was a dent on its bumper, so this meant one thing—that was the car that just hit the taxi."Hey! Stop right there!" Scott yelled as the car sped away. He took note of the number plate before it went out of sight. Something about that car seemed familiar. Where had he seen it before?*****Scott's head was still banging by the time he returned home. Somehow, the taxi driver had managed to continue the ride. To show his appreciation, Scott wired him some money to repair the damage done

Scott sputtered a laugh. "Oh, come on! How did you arrive at such a conclusion?""Do I have to spell it out for you?" Leonard sounded irritated. "You said it yourself that the car bumped into the taxi you were in out of nowhere and also sped off as if nothing happened. Based on your description, the damage on the taxi was a little serious, which means the hit was intentional."These words got Scott thinking. The accident played out in his mind again. Indeed, it was very odd. Maybe Leonard was right. But who hated him so much to want to kill him?Leonard piped up. "You're seeing it now, aren't you?""Yeah," replied Scott, nodding slowly. "But who would want to kill me? I haven't offended anyone recently. My company isn't doing too well lately, so I don't have haters on my tail. The last company I acquired was done with mutual understanding. Everyone went home happy. I can't think of anyone who is angry with me right now."Leonard rubbed his chin. "You sure about that?"Unsure, Scott co
Open Marriage: It Takes Two To Tango CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN: Head-on Confrontation
"What!" Leonard and Anthony exclaimed at the same time. They looked at each other before Anthony spoke again, "Don't do it, Scott. I get that you are angry, but what if he's really the one after you? What if he attacks again?""He's right. You barely just survived the accident. I was even thinking of asking you to go to the hospital to get checked. You know, for internal bleeding and all. I could even go over to attend to you myself," Leonard uttered with worry. "Don't go over to Steven's. Take a taxi to the hospital and I'll meet you there."Scott grabbed his keys. "No, thanks. I feel fine. The bump on my forehead will go down once I put more ice on it. But that will come later. I have gotta confront that old idiot. Something tells me he has a hand in this. Let's talk later, guys!""No, Scott. Don't—" Leonard began, but the line suddenly went dead.Scott ran out of the house. He was just about to get in the car when he remembered something; he hadn't told Cora he was going out.Consi
Open Marriage: It Takes Two To Tango CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT: Chivalry Isn't Dead
Scott couldn't think of any other person no matter how he tried. Currently, his biggest enemy was Jordan. Oh, he hated that man so much!Jordan was a no-nonsense businessman, but he rarely had issues with people as long as they did their jobs well. Although Scott had a bone to pick with him, he didn't think it would be the other way around.It appeared Zara had chosen Jordan over him. The guy won, so there was no reason to come after him. Scott was actually the one who had intentions to sabotage Jordan and frustrate him.Thinking of this, Scott looked at Steven who was now seated again in his chair. The older man was staring at him with his hand on his chin. There was something about this man that didn't sit right with Scott. He couldn't place his finger on it, but he found Steven very sinister."I'll put off telling Cora about this for now. If I find out that you have a hand in this, you'll see the other side of me. And that's going to be very soon!" Scott threatened.Steven laughed,

A shriek escaped Zara's mouth as she hit the brakes as fast as she could. She lunged forward, grabbing the steering wheel tighter. After staying down for a few moments, she raised her head and opened an eye.She looked to see the damage she had done. Thankfully, there was no dent on the car. A head suddenly appeared from the other side. "My goodness!" Zara muttered exasperatedly. She opened the door and got out with her hands and legs shaking. Although the near collision just scared her half to death, she wasn't going to let this slide.Scott, who was clad in a white shirt and a pair of trousers, walked up to her and said, "Hey, Zara. Can I talk—""What the hell is wrong with you? Have you lost your mind? I could have hit you!" Zara yelled, holding the hood of her car for support. She was pissed. This man had almost caused an accident. Instead of apologizing, he asked her if they could talk? Was he doing drugs now? Who in their right mind would appear in front of a moving car like he
Open Marriage: It Takes Two To Tango CHAPTER SIXTY: I Want A DNA Test
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
