CHAPTER 43.

“What was that nonsense all about?” I asked immediately as we drove out of the hotel. “Are you out of your mind, Aaron? Why can't you stay the hell out of my business?” I shouted angrily, but I didn't care.

He didn't answer me, just tightened his grip on the wheel.

“You must really enjoy getting into an argument with me. The fact that the one we had at home wasn't enough for you that you had to follow me down here, running VD Industries must not be tasking enough for you. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands!” I continued.

“Don't start feeling special. I didn't follow you. I didn't even know that you were lodged in that hotel with your boyfriend” Aaron said, not raising his voice but still angry.

“So you're telling me it's a coincidence?”

“It sure as hell is”

I laughed bitterly. “You must take me for a fool, you motherfucker!”

“Watch your tongue Elizabeth! I won't tolerate any insulting words from you” Aaron warned.

“You will do nothing. Read my lips Aaron, NO-FUCK

    Chapter 59ELIZABETH’S POV“What do you think about spending a night at mine?” Noah asked.I raised a shocked eyebrow at him.“No no,” he said with his hands raised. “I mean no harm. Nothing will happen, except of course you want it to” he said with a wink.I rolled my eyes. “Yeah Noah, not happening”“I mean it—just as old friends. Nothing much, we could watch a movie like old times, joke, laugh. You will sleep in a different bedroom. And I promise not to act the way I acted last time, you know the kiss and all. You are a married woman and I respect that”“Finally decided to back off?”“Not a chance babe, I'm not backing off. I'm just giving you time” he said with a broad smile.I scoffed as I opened the car door and got down. “I will think about it,” I said as he would down the glass. I leaned a little. “Thank you for today Noah. It was amazing. As usual” I said, blew him a kiss, and went inside.As I walked in, my heart beat faster and I wondered if I would see Aaron in the sittin

    Chapter 58.“Pumpkin” came Noah’s voice immediately i picked his call.“Hey Noah, you good?” I asked, my tone was heavy due to my mood but I hoped he didn't notice.“I’m not good. I miss you” he said in a low shaky voice that tugged at my heartstrings, not romantically but out of pity.I didn't want Noah feeling like this, I didn't want him having feelings for me, and I didn't deserve it. I didn't deserve his unwavering love. Here I was, ignoring someone who loves me and pining over someone who didn't give a shit about me. That spoke volumes about my foolishness and just goes to show that Noah deserved a better woman.When I didn't reply, he continued. “What are you doing? Can I see you today?” he asked.“Uhm…” I contemplated. I wasn't doing anything at home. My buddies, Ryan and Taylor weren't home. The only one at home was repulsed by my presence.Instead of sitting at home, doing nothing but wonder if I wasn't good enough for Aaron, maybe I should just stroll out.“What do you have

    Chapter 57.Aaron was working on his laptop, looking engrossed as his brows furrowed in concentration. I stared at him from the staircase, looking desirable as always. The way his fingers worked on the keyboard briskly and expertly, how serious he looked, and how his eyes squinted sometimes as if trying to see something clearer.I don't know how long I stood there just watching him, but he seemed to notice my presence. He raised his head and saw me. His gaze lingered a bit before he gave me a nod of acknowledgment and returned to his work.I sighed. Today I wasn't getting that small smile that I liked. But at least he acknowledged me.I walked downstairs and sat on the couch beside him. He didn't look up from his laptop.“Aaron…” he raised his index finger as if signalling me to stop talking.So I paused and just stared at him.After a few minutes, he finally raised his head from his laptop, and he looked at me as if signalling me to continue.I swallowed. This man had a way of comple

    Chapter 56.“Taylor what the fuck was that?!” I screamed immediately we both entered my room and I shut the door behind me.“What is what?” Taylor asked, trying to act clueless.“Don't piss me off young lady,” I said, fuming in anger. “In what world do you think it was right to sleep with my husband’s best friend whom you barely even know, and who less than 24 hours ago, you said you didn't like? Explain it to me. Make it make sense to me!”She simply shrugged. “I am an adult Beth. And if I want to have a one-night stand or a fling, I will”I couldn't believe my ears. “What? You just got off a heartbreak Tay. The last person you need for a rebound is Ryan because he will only break your heart further. When I said you can be friendly with him, I didn't mean get into his bed. Ryan is fucking bad news, do you hear me?”“I am not looking for love, or anything serious” she snapped. “I am done with that bullshit, now I will live my life on my terms and enjoy myself the same way you did befo

    Chapter 55.ELIZABETH’S POVI was jealous of Aliyah.Yes, I was. With her, Aaron was free and a different person. I could tell he adored the little girl.Watching film hold her hand throughout as we walked around the park getting ice cream, laughing at her jokes, and listening attentively to whatever she was saying, tugged at my heart. He would make a great father, I thought.After we got the ice cream, we were supposed to head home but Aliyah was being naughty and running around the park wanting to be chased.“Come on Elizabeth, catch me if you can!” she screamed excitedly running further.“I'm a bad runner Aliyah. I will faint if I chase you” I said to her.“Then I'm stronger than you. Boohoo” she said as she booed at me.Without thinking, I placed my phone on Aaron’s chest and he caught it with his hand and i ran after Aliyah, i knew it was a bad idea to run around with an energetic child like that but it had been long since I last played like a child.AARON’S POV.Vivienne always

    Chapter 54.AARON’S POV.The way she snapped took me aback. We were having a normal conversation, surprisingly not arguing, and the next minute she snapped. I wonder what I said wrong.“Are you bipolar?” I asked in amusement. Sometimes, Elizabeth amused me with her actions. She is a very funny, feisty woman.Her head snapped to me, eyes glistening with annoyance. I bit my lips to hide a smirk.“Excuse me?!” I shrugged. “Because why are you mad at me all of a sudden? What did I do now?”“You…” She paused and took a deep breath. “You know what? Never mind. I don't know what I'm even doing with you here in the first place. Let's go back to living like strangers,” she said and started walking away, pouting her lips like a teenager who was denied a party.I don't know why I did what I did but I went after her and gently grabbed her arm and spun her around to face me.“Elizabeth, what's pissing you off right now? What did I say wrong?”Her eyes lingered on where I held her for a while bef
