The clock on the bedside table ticked away the seconds as Henri sat on the edge of his bed, his phone pressed to his ear. The darkness of the room covered him like a bad joke as he waited for Neil to answer, his heart pounding in his chest with a mix of anticipation and dread.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Neil’s voice crackled through the line, the sound distorted by the distance between them. “Henri?”

“Yeah, it’s me,” Henri answered, the darkness in his voice spilling into the phone. “I need to know what else you have on him.”

Neil’s tone grew serious, his voice lowering dangerously at Henri’s words. “What else do you want on him? Do you want more? I am sure I could make it happen.”

Henri hesitated for a moment, “I need you to send me all the documents you have on Kayla’s deal with Wess. I am going to tell her tonight.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line as Neil processed Henri’s request. “Sure thin

    The air in the dining room was heavy with tension as Henri and Kayla sat across from each other at the table. The dim light cast long shadows across their faces, accentuating the lines of worry etched into their features.Henri cleared his throat, his gaze steady as he placed his tablet on the tablet already opened with files Neil had sent him and slid it across the table towards Kayla, his heart pounding in his chest with a mix of apprehension , his mood solemn.Kayla’s brow furrowed in confusion, a frown covering her face as she picked up the tablet and scrolled through. Her fingers trembling slightly as she scrolled through them. “What’s this, Henri?” she asked, her brows almost coming together. She had a bad feeling about this.Henri sighed lightly before his deep gaze descended on her. “Do you know why I suddenly wanted to marry you? There are many reasons, someone have told you about your lawyer friend, Jason Steele, but there is no need to rush. We

    Henri retried to his hotel happily. He could not help the smile that crawleld up his face. Now all he needed to do was take his wife home. But that was going to be difficult. He could not force her and make the relationship worse. He had desired to move into he replace immediately.Henri swung open the door to his room and immediately set to work, packing his belongings. Clothes were hastily folded and stuffed into a suitcase, toiletries gathered in a haphazard pile on the bathroom counter..Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Henri zipped up his suitcase and called for a staff to get his things, taking one last look around the room before heading for the door.The moment he stepped out into the hallway, he saw Michael approaching with raised brows.“Where are you going?” he asked, taking in the luggage that a staff was carrying away.“To move in with Kayla,” Henri answered and hurried past him, leaving him behind completely confused and sh

  • Under Silk Sheets   A quick marriage

    The car ride to the courthouse was silent and full of suffocation. Kayla’s gaze remained fixed on the passing scenery outside, her eyes cold and slightly resentful. Beside her, Henri was the epitome of indifference, his eyes focused on the tablet in his hand as if nothing else mattered. But inside, his heart was exploding in excitement. He fought the urge to look her way, because he was afraid she would change her mind last minute. He knew that he was making use of her anger to push her to the courthouse, so he hoped her anger would burn till she signed the papers.“You should wear this,” he reached into his pocket and passed her wedding ring to her and the moment she set her eyes on the familiar piece of jewelry, it was as though her anger had been sprayed a healthy dose of fuel.“That? You are going get a ring,” Kayla finally spoke, her voice tight with emotion. She had once planned to marry this man under a romantic setting. And choose their ring. Now her marria

  • Under Silk Sheets   Marry Me

    Henri and Kayla made their way up to a restaurant in silence, neither knowing what the other was thinking. The elegant ambiance of the upscale restaurant couldn’t disguise the tension crackling between Kayla and Henri as they sat across from each other. It was already afternoon at this point and they could see out the window of their room to see the rose garden below. They were not sure how heated the discussion would go and chose to be in a private room.Kayla deiced to break the ice after the waiter served tea to her and coffee to Henri.“I want that painting,” she said, but Henri did not respond. It was as though was waiting for her to elaborate.“I am willing to offer anything for it,” she spoke again.“What do you think I would want for it?” he asked, and she paused. He was right. He was a billionaire. What could she possibly offer?“I am willing to pay for it at the price offered inside,” she said after a pause.“I know you are willing, but we both know you can’t, or else you wo

  • Under Silk Sheets   Auction

    The auction hall exuded an aura of sophistication, the air filled with murmurs of excitement and the occasional clink of champagne glasses. Kayla, clad in a sleek, black gown, navigated through the crowd with practiced ease, her expression composed and detached. She took her seat, scanning the room with cool detachment, until her gaze fell upon Henri.A flicker of annoyance passed through Kayla as she noticed him, Henri walking in clad in black. Was he a ghost? Why did she have to see him everywhere? She had spent these past few days trying to forget him, burying their shared history. But now, suddenly, he was everywhere. Was he a ghost hunting her down?Henri’s eyes met hers, a soft smile made its way up his face of his lips as he made his way towards her. Kayla stiffened, her posture rigid as he approached, a knot forming in the pit of her stomach. Why couldn’t he just leave her alone? Hadn’t he gone back? She had thought since he had been quiet the past two days that he had accepte
