"Seduction isn't making someone do what they don't want to do. Seduction is enticing someone into doing what they secretly want to do already."

"What took you so long?" Karina asked as Eden walked back into the room.
"Sorry, I was talking to my brother and Jacob. Anyway, here is your clothes for the night and this one is for tomorrow." He handed her the clothes and Karina took them before heading to the bathroom to take a shower.
Meanwhile, while she was busy inside, Eden opened up the bag Jacob gave her and set everything up.
After she changed, Karina planned on going straight to bed, however, when she walked out of the bathroom, the ambience of the room completely changed.
Karina had no idea what it was. If it’s because of the soft jazz playing in their room, the sensual sandalwood scent, the dim warm lighting or the or because of the romantic suite they were staying in.

"Crying is for plain women. Pretty women go shopping."-Oscar Wilde-***“The weather today is beautiful, isn’t it?” Eden asked the rhetorical question to the three people who accompanied him that day.“It is. We’re also quite lucky to be able to enjoy today’s weather in the garden like this. It makes breakfast more exciting.” Amber seemed extremely cheery that day for some reason. It did not matter what, she was always bursting with energy.“So, what are your plan for the day? Are you going straight back to New Hampshire or what?” Eden questioned both Declan and Amber.“Actually, I managed to get Declan agreeing to go luxury shopping with me. Come to think about it. Do the two of you want to come with us? Since we are already in New York, I think it will be such a waste to not shop. It’s luxury paradise here.” Karina thought a little luxury sho

"Being pregnant is an occupational hazard of being a wife."-Queen Victoria-***Karina woke up that morning feeling tremendously sick. Eden had been away for a business trip for two days and he would only be back in three days. It would be a bad news if she developed any kind of serious illness when he was away.Even though there were maid, chef and guard in the house, it was not enough to make her feel better.She could not do anything productive and even when she tried to eat, she felt so nauseous she only ended up eating a small portion from her morning meal. The chef noticed that she was not finishing her food and asked her if she was fine.“I’m just feeling a bit nauseous, that’s all.” She tried to smile. She wanted to take some medication but at the same time Karina was the type of woman who did not like to be reliant on drugs and medicines so she asked the chef to make something to al

"Anger against a brother is felt in the flesh, not in the bone." -African Proverb- *** Eden was flying back from his business trip after a few days. It was pure torture for him. Being away from his wife was quite painful. He missed her so much and could hardly concentrate. Then he remembered that he was doing all the work for her sake as well. Wealth was useless without women. It has always been since the beginning of time. “Karina, my baby. I can’t wait to see you again.” He was so excited. When he arrived at the airport, he opened his phone to call her because she had not been accepting his calls that often during his trip. As he opened his chatting apps, he found a new message from his brother, Declan. It was rare to see his brother messaged him first. Eden opened it and looked at the message. “I’ll pick you up in the airport.” Followed by a short follow up message. “I’m here.” It was quite

"The best surprise is no surprise." -Kemmons Wilson- *** Eden walked into the house and saw Karina sitting in the back garden while drinking her tea. He slowly approached her, about to give her a surprise when she suddenly stood up and turned her body around, seemingly surprised by Eden’s presence there. “Ah, you’re back.” She spoke casually. He smiled at her and pulled her into a hug. How he had missed hugging her like that. “I miss you, baby. Did you miss me?” He asked her before planting a small kiss on her cheek. Instead of saying yes, she pulled herself away from him. She seemed nervous, as if she was hiding something. Eden thought Karina must be afraid if he knew she spilled the truth to Declan. As much as Eden was annoyed by it, his love for her was much greater than that, he decided to drop it. He did not want her to fear him again if he brought the conversation to surface. So, he tilted his head, pret

The woman gave him a look filled with pride and mischief.The woman was tall, she had curly brunette hair and an hourglass figure. Her eyes were a deep shade of blue and green. She had a red lipstick on to match her red dress and heels.Her skin was slightly tan and she wore a pair of gold statement earrings. She was beautiful, model gorgeous with upward cat eyes. Karina did not understand why the women involved with Eden and his family were always so stunning.It made her feel insecure sometimes.“Hello, Eden.” Karina who had no idea what was going on sat there, pretending she did not see what was happening and continued to take a bite out of her meal. She was not deaf, she could just h

Eden was off to work like usual, the staff were doing their thing. There was nobody there she could talk to and Karina was starting to feel a little bit lonely.She opened up her phone and she suddenly saw a message from an unknown number. Karina was sure that her phone was bugged by Eden so it was unlikely for an unknown number to reach her. Who could possibly manage to text her?She was a bit hesitant but eventually decided to open it and saw a shocking message. It was from Michelle Langdon. She introduced herself again and wondered if they could meet up for a talk because there was something she needed to tell Karina.“I have to tell you something. It’s about your husband. He is not who you think he is. If you want to meet me, we can arrange a meeting. Jus

"I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."-Pablo Neruda-***“Good morning, baby.” Karina woke up that day by Eden’s gentle nudging. She slowly opened her eyes and saw his bright smile. She had no idea why he was smiling like that but she smiled back at him in return.“Let’s have breakfast at bed today, Karina. I had the chef prepared these for you. All of them are safe to be eaten in the bed, mess free.” He stated before handing a glass of water to her.She wondered why he suddenly wanted to have breakfast in bed when he usually hated having mess around the bed except for that time.“You’re acting a bit strange, Eden. Are you okay?” She asked with a raised brow.“Yes, I’m fine. I just thought it would be nice to break the routine for a little bit. I know I have been annoying you lately and our relationship cracked a littl
