Zebastian's povI quickly turned my back on Raven. I knew she was looking at me as I took my steps away from her, but I didn't look back. That was the main thing I had to keep in mind. I want her to feel that once I leave, there is no turning back. How I wish she would have called my name and asked me to stop, but fortunately she didn't. She just watched me leave her alone, and she doesn't know how much it hurts.That kiss was so meaningful. She keeps on telling me that it was nothing, that she doesn't love me anymore, that she loves her husband, and that she will choose him over him. It was all a lie. Yes, I am sure about it.I could feel her kiss on mine. It is sweet and tasty, passionate, and full of love.I slammed the table in my room upon reaching it.I promised myself not to let my emotions bring me down, but what was happening now? I am one step closer to possible pain.. pain that I don't know if I can still bear..After a few moments, someone knocked at my door.I opened it,
Raven's pov."Zeb wait! What is this? I am okay.. what were you saying that?—"He didn't answer me. Instead, he held Ky's face and kissed me so gently. He kissed Ke like there was no way to say no!"Raven, I missed you so much. I wanted to do this since the first time I saw you at the company, but I stopped myself because I knew it wasn't right! But as time goes by, I realize that there is no such thing as wrong when it comes to love." He pulled me close to him, and I smelled the mixture of alcohol and fragrance in his perfume. He got his face near me, and he kissed me again. We are here in my room. No one will see us. No one will find out that we are together. Why should I stop myself from kissing him back when it's all that I have inside?I wanted to be with him. I wanted to spend the night with him, and I thought it would never happen again.Call it cheating! Whatever you want to call it,, but how am I gonna live my life so righteous if I can't even feel happiness? I think it is
Raven's pov.I don't know if it's right to turn back on Hattie. I just made her feel that I was so jealous of her presence. I don't usually feel this way, Yo Axel, even if I hear things like he is going to a bar or dating somebody else. I didn't care, and I'll never care. But why do I feel so bad when I know that Zeb is involved?He just told me last night that he still loves me, but what is that Hattie doing here?I walked so fast that I just decided to stay in my room. I just got out of the elevator going to my room when I saw Zeb getting near me.I decided to just avoid him, but it was too late. He tried to chase me.I looked back, and I made my steps faster."Raven!"I heard him call me by my name, but I didn't mind. I continue walking."Raven wait!""What?" I looked at him so badly.I took a deep breath and tried to look on the other side."What's wrong? Why are you avoiding me?" He asked like he wasn't aware of what he did."Nothing! I am not in the mood, so please let me go.""
Raven's pov.In my life, I didn't come to the point of thinking about cheating. never that it crossed my mind, and never that I felt like doing it to anyone. That was when I was committed to Zeb. When I got married, I promised myself that I would do everything I could to keep our marriage clean and pure, even though it wasn't my dream to spend the rest of my life with Axel.Now, as I watched my luggage get ready to leave the hotel, I couldn't believe that I had done things that I never planned.I have been drawn with my feelings for Zeb, which caused me to commit sin on the bounds of marriage and even in the eyes of many people.It might be the worst thing I have ever done, but I am here now. For those eight years of being married, I never felt happiness like how I am feeling right now. I stood up from my seat and took a seat on the bed. I felt the soft touch on the blanket that served as witness to how Zeb and I made love for three nights.A love that gives us reason to keep our hea
Zeb's pov..I am not in the mood to say anything. I remained silent while driving my car. I hate it when Hattie makes decisions for me. I am not doing it, and she should not do anything like that."Zeb, what makes you so quiet? You have not been talking to me the whole time, and now you keep ignoring me. Are you mad?" Hattie asked..She faced me, and she looked at me in the eyes."I'm tired..""You are tired, or you just feel bad that I didn't let you give Raven a ride. Well, let me tell you this: Raven is not your responsibility. Axel should be the one responsible for picking up his wife at the airport. You are the boss, and you should not take everything on your shoulders, okay?""Am I asking for your opinion? What's wrong with bringing her home? Still, she's under that vacation, and as the host, she's my responsibility, and I am responsible for everything that might happen to her." I was so mad.I know Hattoe can figure out why I felt so bad about what she did."Okay, fine! but Ner
Zeb's pov."Sir, Mr. Hayes was looking for you. He looks so mad, and he wanted to come in," the guard said. Sunday morning, I was having a nap at the poolside.I don't have any idea why he's here."Let him in." I ordered..The guard left, and he opened the gate. Axel was in a hurry to get near me. He looks so furious, like he can kill anyone at any time."Mr. Hayes, what brought you here?" I asked as I stood up from my seat.I looked into his eyes, and I didn't give him any chance to scare me."Where is my wife?" He was so mad. He looked around like he was looking for something."Your wife? She's your wife, so why are you asking me about her? Mr. Hayes, this is my house and not yours." I replied seriously.I wanted to just laugh at him, but I could feel like he was in trouble."I am not kidding aside. I am not here to throw jokes at you! I am here because I am looking for Raven. You were with her last night, weren't you? So where did you take her?" He asked again."Okay, we were on th
Raven's povWeeks had passed. I didn't go to work for the reason that I asked for one week's leave.No pressure, no headaches about the job. away from toxic people, and one more reason was that I decided to stay with my mom without anyone knowing it."Raven, I am leaving today. Today is Friday, and I need to give the caretakers their salary. Will you be okay here?" Mom asked as she was staring at me. I was having coffee that morning, and I was planning to meet Neri, but I suddenly changed my mind."Mom, can I just come? I mean, I am not doing anything here the whole day, and I want to experience being at the shelter, even just for a day. I hope that would be fine," mom replied, so happy. I know that she's happy to tell everyone about me. Actually, she already did, but of course there's a limit to everything."Okay, mom, I will just go change my clothes. You can just wait for me in the car; it will just be quick." I go upstairs so I can change my clothes. I made it just so quick. I don
Raven's povI just put my uniform on and fixed myself. Zeb was just staring at me as he wrapped his arms around my waist."Zeb I need to leave now. Please.. Sandy might be wondering what took me so long. " I bit my lower lip out of embarrassment. I know how Sandy thinks, and I know by now she's in the process of filming what happened between me and Zeb through her imagination."Would you believe me if I said that I didn't have a plan to let you go?""This can't be. I can't stay here in your office the whole day! This is ridiculous, okay?" I put on lipstick on my lips and sprayed my vanilla perfume a bit."I would live with that smell.""I have to go."I took my first step to leave when Zeb stood up from the bed and hugged me tight from behind."I'll see you tonight."I looked at him, and I saw that he was serious based on his serious facial expression."I can't..""But why?""I need to see my, mom." I replied, and I just left his room.I took a deep breath before I finally opened the
