SERENA'S POV

"You've been going there a lot lately. Shouldn't these visits be limited to calls? Video calls maybe?"

"They can't," I said, biting down on the pin in my mouth, between my lips. My hands on the mannequin in front of me, the fabric there. "We've signed the contract, yes. But they're also things I need to know to properly be on board with the team. I can't just let them do everything and not know what they're doing."

"And what is wrong with that?" He retorted, "What is wrong with them doing everything and you nothing?"

What?

I paused right then, releasing a breath as I faced him fully.

"Is there a problem here, Axel? Is something wrong because you've been acting real bossy towards me and I don't like that. I know what I'm doing, I'm not a child."

He sighed, "I just don't want you going over there every time. Meeting him."

"I'm not going there to meet Eliot."

"But you do meet him. Don't you?"

I opened my mouth to refute that, say I had no interest in seeing him and this wa

    ELIOT'S POV "Okay sir!" I jerked, startled by the sudden intrusion. My eyebrows squeezing immediately, a scowl forming on as an absolutely oblivious John showed up in front of me. Blocking my view with smiles on his annoying face. "Let's do it as we practiced, alright?" He said, "Follow the script. Stick to the script, you have to stick to it no matter what. Be gentle. Women like gentle."I just narrowed my eyes. Turned away from him, my irritation growing, eyes returning back to the vacant pathway leading from the road to show when a person drives in. "Why isn't she here yet? Didn't you call to remind her?" I muttered, checked my watch and then at the buzzing persons in front of the white executive coach waiting to be used. "I did call her, sir." John said, "She's on her way, I know it.""And if she's not?" I faced him, features tight. "What if she's not coming, what then? What's the plan then? Instead of standing around talking here, go make sure she gets here. Else you're not

    SERENA'S POV "Are you kidding right now? You're going on a trip together? Together??""No, we're not. The team is going on a trip.""What's the difference? He's going to be there, and so are you!""But we're not going together. The team is!" I bellowed, totally exasperated at this point. "Oh my God, Axel. Just please." "You please," he argued, stopping at a traffic light. "First you keep going over there, and now a trip? Are you trying me you don't see this is all arranged? That he isn't doing all of these on purpose, Rena?? C'mon!"Eliot did admit it.He admitted to planning it all. For us he said. I hadn't even gotten a chance to internalize any of that yet. We hadn't reached home. My home.God I hated arguing with Axel.Hated it so much.Unlike Eliot where I could have a leverage over him, shut him up somehow, and walk out, I couldn't do that with Axel. It was different with him. The tables had turned. Somehow I had shifted from being the victim, to being the one in the wrong.Hi

    SERENA'S POV Couple of minutes later after that, we headed out. Me to Ward Syndicate building and Axel back to his office. He'd taken a long break to come see me, and promised to pick me up as well.Which was fine because we would have dinner. We've been doing that a lot recently and as surprising as it may seem, I loved it.Insane delicious food + Axel explaining his experience outside the country when he attempted a cooking profession, I don't see why I won't love dinner.Other than that, it felt good. Warm, to have someone to share the night with not just having sex.Even if I wouldn't the sex.Frankly, if I was being honest. I wanted to check It out. I mean, I should. Maybe that way I'd see it's even better and permanently have no need to be thinking back at someone else.My package would be complete.Make sense, right?I probably sound like a slut right now, right?Yup. I do. Time to concentrate, concentrate Serena.I blinked my eyes, forcing stop all stupid thoughts and focusin

    ELIOT'S POV "We will." I said in response, quick. Cause did she think I was going to let some dumb ass handle or be in such close contact with her as a team lead? I was the leader of this team. Her team.And I would make sure everything as regards to her goes on without a hinge.No offence but no team lead will be contacting my wife for whatever reason. I already had one bastard to deal with, needed no more.The meeting went on after that, rounding up. A few more pointers, re-evaluation of all that'd been talked about, everyone was dispersed. My feet rising and moving before I could think twice. The door to the conference room opened, she stepped out, and so did I. Our movements in sync. The staff behind us, murmuring. Whispering, but I could hardly care what it was about. My eyes were fixed on her. On her hair. The long, smooth black mass rooted in her scalp and falling back down to her waist. That same waist I remembered holding unto as she unraveled on top of my face. Twisting

  • THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself    Chapter 172

    SERENA'S POV "How was today? You liked it?" I blinked. Frozen as his voice reached my ears. Deep. Smooth. Feeling surprisingly close. So close. Too close, I could feel my nipples pushing through my bra from effect. Erect. Like they'd been called to life by just his voice. Didn't need a prophecy to know that spending more time in this elevator wouldn't lead to anything good. At least not the kind suitable for an office environment. But then again, I'd wondered what it would be like. To come here. To see him, in his office. Get pinned to his desk. The same desk that he'd spent several nights over working his ass away and leaving me cold at the house! On our matrimonial bed. I'd wondered what it would be like to have him work on me too. To get pushed on the smooth crystal clear glass, my ass sliding clean with the juices already dripping. Him throwing off stuff, attention completely on me. I'd wondered what it would be like. And right now, looking at him...what was stopping me?
