"Where did I put my hair dryer?" I walked out of the bathroom and approached my dressing table.In front of it, I pulled out the shelf that usually held the hairdryer and vice. I found what I was looking for there, then dried my hair.Earlier, a waiter called me downstairs to have breakfast with the others. But I was just about to shower, and told her that I'd come down later, after all I could explain my reasons for coming down late for breakfast."Maybe they'll eat first if I wait too long." I was sure of that, so I didn't feel the need to rush.I opened my wardrobe and started picking out the clothes I would wear today. But suddenly, my bedroom door just opened at the worst possible time.The towel I was wearing moved down as I reached out my hand to grab my clothes. At the same time, I saw Andreas open my bedroom door.I was silent for a moment, as was Andreas. When I saw his eyes drop down to my chest, I was stunned. "Andreas! What are you doing?!" I shouted quite loudly. Whether
Andreas' POV"Stop it...." I smiled, reading the movement of Vanessa's lips hissing at me with her eyes wide open.But of course, I wasn't going to do what she asked. I am not a submissive person unless she recognizes what I feel and accepts me.I ignored her warning and kept caressing her calf with my foot. As I did so, I felt her soft skin, leaving me stunned. All of a sudden, my logic seemed to depart from my body, and I followed my instincts.Recalling my memory of what happened upstairs, I was also completely shocked. But I was a man, and hormonally I was normal.Just seeing her back exposed, my mind was already wild, and I started to imagine how the other parts looked, let alone see her chest without a single thread covering it. My chest felt hot, and my instinct wanted to run over her and make her under my body.I want to bury my head in his neck, then move down to massage her chest and start giving kisses on every inch of her skin. Then I will make sure to suck on his pink nip
Jaxon's PovI stared at the television screen indistinctly, my eyes blurry as my head was focused on different things.A few days ago, I met Vanessa, but Vanessa looked different from when she became my wife. Vanessa looks beautiful. She looks elegant and classy.Her face was so charming that I couldn't take my eyes off her and was stunned momentarily. Luckily, Catherine didn't notice."However, she must still have feelings for me. She used to love and obey me so much." I muttered under my breath, recalling those memories.Lately, I felt something was missing after meeting Vanessa, but I didn't know exactly what I was missing. I just felt a little empty."Jaxon!" I heard my mom's voice yelling for me, breaking my reverie. "What are you doing?"Before I could go to her, I saw Mom already standing in front of me with her appearance looking a little messy with an apron on her body. She was bent at the waist, staring at me."I was just about to come over to Mom," I argued, but she snorted
Jaxon’s POVI don't know why I keep thinking about Vanessa in my head. Every time I see Catherine, I think of Vanessa's face.Then, every time Catherine treats me rudely and indifferently, I also think back to Vanessa, who was gentle and sweet to me.I felt like I was going crazy thinking about Vanessa, who kept popping up in my mind. She was in various states that I found more attractive and better than Catherine.I didn't understand why I was comparing them. Why, all of a sudden, after everything became like this, that woman kept appearing in my mind and tormenting me."Jax....Jaxon!" I heard Catherine's voice calling out to me, and in that instant, my thoughts of Vanessa dissolved.I went to her. "Yes, baby?" I said to her sweetly and wrapped my arms around her waist.I had to control my mind to stay focused. I can't think about anything else, my life is in trouble right now, and only Catherine can help me because she can get me a job, and she's rich. Even if Catherine lied to me a
"Vanessa, how are you doing?" Dad asked in the middle of our dinner.I took my eyes off my plate and looked at my father. Our dinner was a quiet, friendly affair where we talked about simple things, like today. When he asked again about my progress with some things I had learned."So far, I haven't had any difficulties, dad," I answered with the response closest to my situation. Because to judge the results of my progress is not my part.Andreas was the one who had the freedom to judge because he was guiding me. These few days, I've been putting in a good effort. I worked on various things occasionally while checking every market branch that opened around the city.As Father had requested, I sent in the checking reports at regular intervals. As for Andreas's guidance, I deliberately asked him to send me what I needed to do via email. I reasoned that I was busy outside, and it just so happened that he was also swamped out, so we hadn't seen each other in a few days.Strangely, I felt l
I stare at myself in the reflection of the glass. After a long time, I now see the old me again. I don't know exactly when I stopped getting ready for a party in a beautiful dress, wearing jewellery and perfect makeup on my face.Maybe since I married Jaxon, I rarely attend parties with Jaxon plus. Jaxon is always complaining about women dressing up and all that. So, I never dress up in full makeup.I often went out with a natural-coloured lipstick or a lip moisturiser so that Jaxon wouldn't complain.For that reason, I often saw my reflection in the mirror looking dull, pale and shabby. I forgot I had an attractive face and appearance, especially since Jaxon never complimented me."You're gorgeous, miss." The words of a waiter who helped me get ready today made me turn to him with a faint smile.Then I looked back at myself, wrapped in a black slip dress with cotton material. It looks straightforward for a dress, although the back that reveals my back is relatively wide open, looking
Vanessa's pov"You said you were calling me." I looked around for my father, but he wasn't there.I turned my gaze towards Andreas while releasing my hand, holding my dress as I walked hurriedly. "I don't see you here."Andreas nodded, taking his hands off me. He then goes to the cocktail glasses arranged beautifully and high on the table.He took two glasses from the top of the pyramid arrangement and handed one to me. He looked at me casually. "Yeah, I'm just being reasonable," he said unconcernedly. Then his smile appeared, revealing a dimple at the corner of her lips that looked like a scythe. "Since you seemed to be having trouble with them, I gave you an opening to leave."I took my eyes off her, then sipped the cocktail like I was drinking water. "It's good that you did it." I complimented him unceremoniously because I honestly felt immensely helped by him. "They were swarming me like ants to sugar, which bothered me a lot."I'd never gotten that kind of attention before, and s
Vanessa's povSuddenly, Andreas, looking at me intently, wrapped his arms around my waist. Our seats were next to each other, so he easily slipped his hand from under the coat draped over my back.The moment his hand touched me tightly, I gasped. My eyelids opened wide to stare at the face of a man whose facial lines seemed perfect, with a firm jaw and eyes as beautiful as blue in a clear sky.If I just stare at him, I might get sucked into the vortex of those eyes, drowning without being able to move. The only thing that woke me up was my heart pounding.I glanced in the other direction, checking to see if anyone might have witnessed this and ended up making a scene later. I lowered my hand, trying to get his hand off of it, but while I was busy pulling his fingers apart, Andreas instead used the strength in his hand to lift me onto his lap.The sudden movement made me settle on him in a panic, placing my hand on his chest in shock.He looked at my panic casually, his eyes tracing t
