Chapter 5

KORA’S POV

The day came, and I wore the most expensive jewelry I could find in my jewelry room. Yes, I have a whole room dedicated to just jewelry. After I dressed up, Derek was already waiting for me in the car. He wanted to show off just as much as I wanted to. We weren't close but he wanted to help me get revenge. He was already in the planning phase, now that everyone knew I was married to Derek, he could act on his plans.

We drove to the location, I was confident with the amount of luxurious items I wore on my body, my husband was also popular and was termed the wealthiest man in the country last year. He was more handsome than Devon was, now that I am not blinded by my love for him, I can see that Devon wasn't particularly my type.

“Ready.” I smiled and held Derek’s hand tightly.

The doors opened, and a bright light welcomed us. This wasn't the house I and Devon bought, the house he took away from me. I was too weak and betrayed to fight for the house. Well, this mansion was one of Lydia’s mansions she inherited for being the heiress of the Hamilton family. It wasn't as large as the one we attended the other day. But it was decent. Immediately they saw us, Lydia rushed to hug me.

“Sister, I've missed you. I haven't seen you in a while,” I rolled my eyes at her pretend concern. She was part of the people who ruined my life, I will never forgive her for it. I had to control my anger now. We were the best-looking couple there, people kept hiding to take pictures of us. The camera crew they hired only concentrated on us, it gave me great joy that we stole their spotlight, Lydia was already about to lose it.

“Mr. Reyes, have you thought about what we spoke about the other day?” Devon questioned as the little light of hope glimmered in his eyes.

“Thought about what?” Derek questioned with disgust filling his tone.

“Walk with me sir, I will tell you all about it.”

“Is this how you treat your guests?” Derek clicked his tongue and sat on the chair.

“My apologies sir, be comfortable.” Devon yelled at the servants to serve us. I sat beside Devon, the last time I felt this important was a few years ago on my 18th birthday but it was short lived. Today I felt like a queen, I felt untouchable for the first time in my life. Lydia had never shown me so much respect as she did today.

Derek had an important call, he stepped out to a more quiet place to receive his call. I sat there alone for a few minutes then I had an unwanted company.

“How are you doing today, ex-wife?” Devon taunted me, and for the first time, I felt nothing, absolutely nothing but irritation for him.

“My husband has been treating me better than you ever could. So I am doing fine today.” Devon became enraged. He saw Lydia and decided not to say more. He got called by one of his guests and he left my side.

“Sister, I hope you're not having any bright ideas of coming back into Devon’s life.” I chuckled.

“In his dreams.” Her mouth dropped, I took my handbag and left her side. As I was about to exit the door, Devon held my hand.

“I hope you won’t mention our past to your husband.”

“First of all, leave my wife’s hand,” Devon dropped my hand and I walked majestically to Devon’s side.

“Second of all, this was the worst party I have ever attended, you should learn some basic and essential things about hosting, rather than trying to extort favors from your guests.” People had gathered after the first statement. So they already started gossiping. After Derek insulted him, he held my hand and we left their mansion.

We reached our mansion in no time. I felt accomplished and happy about the outcome of the event.

“Kora, I know what the contract states but my parents are coming over and I want them to know we laid in bed together. I will be laying in your bed tonight”

“Okay, can it be your room?” Derek nodded, without saying a single word. I went up to my room to freshen up. I bathed and wore my evening dress. We had dinner together, I wondered why we didn't wait for his parents and what time they would be coming, I didn't want to pry too much. I walked up to his room, his room was larger than mine, and I wasn't surprised.

As I lay beside Derek, I could feel the warmth of his body. He shifted to my side.

“We have to make it believable.” Soon we heard a knock on the door and a gentle push, it was his parents. They wanted to confirm if we lived as a couple. Immediately they saw that we lay intimately, they left. His gentle touch sends shivers down my spine.

Derek traced his fingers across my face, as we moved closer, our lips met in a kiss. It's slow but passionate. I didn't want him to stop, I wanted him to go further. He trailed his hand down my breasts, and he held it tightly as we kissed. It felt so good. I placed my hand on his dick, it was bulging. I tried to quiet down but I couldn't hold back as he played with my nipples. After a few minutes, he stopped.

“Leave.” He commanded, I looked at him in confusion but I took to my heels. I tiptoed back to my room and collapsed on my bed. Why did he react that way? He didn't like it?

I slapped my forehead as I remembered the contract had stated no intimacy. We broke the rules of the contract which can lead to termination.

Will he cancel the contract now?
