Tensing at what he said, Arah did not dare look at anyone. Even to Jazz."I'm not your wife. Stop this nonsense, Luther" she grimly whispers."You are... my wife, right?" persisting, he moves his face closer to her."No, I am not" she firmly counters with a glare."We are... not? But... we are... married. I remembered... signing... our marriage contract" he confusedly grumbles. Indeed he looks thoughtful. But she was aghast when he kept on insisting. It is making her more uncomfortable. She could feel the questioning gaze from across, which she tries to ignore. "We divorced, Luther" she leans closer to his ears and angrily whispers. The night could not be worst than babysitting him. However, even if she tries to speak low, she was sure, Jazz heard them all."We did? Why?" confusion is written all over his face. "I don't know if this is one of your tricks or you are simply messing with me or you're just too drunk to realize but you need to go home and sleep. We will talk when you ar

"Who said about turning back?" Her words made him pause for a long moment. He simply just kept staring at her. "Hmmph" suddenly, she was hauled from the floor while he ravished her lips. Like struck by sudden hunger, he devours her lips in pure fervor. Sucking and delving his tongue inside like an offering. Though startled by his boldness, she didn't resist his assault. Rather, she welcomes him like an esteemed guest.He tastes sweeter than she remembered and it impels her to equal his ardor. All these years, she has been a silent spectator of how women fell in line to have their chance to have him. And tonight, she got her chance. Not exactly a chance, it's more of freeing herself from her boundary. For years, Luther has been seducing her. Though at times she could sense his anger towards her, for a reason she doesn't know. Since they established their friendship, he has been full of disparity. At times he is seducing her, there are times he is being sardonic, and sometimes he se

Jazz's words still linger in her head while she watches the blurry night view they passed by outside her vehicle. It was late and she is tired but she dreaded coming home. Letting Luther invade her place last night was a huge mistake. They should have done it at some hotels, not in her place. Now, she will be constantly reminded of everything they did. Her bed will no longer be the same again. She doubts she will have a peaceful sleep without being reminded. She will see every corner of her apartment from a different perspective and worst, Luther will always be included. The least she needs now is a remembrance of her foolishness but she has no choice but to endure it for a while. "I think I need a new apartment" she whispers to herself while the vehicle came to a halt. "We're here, Dr. Rechner" Colin's voice brought her back to the present. She hasn't noticed he has opened the door for her. "Thank you, Colin. See you tomorrow" getting out, she smiles at her driver before heading

Despite being new to everything happening in her life at the moment, Arah tries to keep up. She and Luther, under one roof, and living as lovers is her biggest adjustment. They were once married but they never had so much interaction unlike now. During their arranged marriage, they never make love before sleeping. They don't eat breakfast together like they were doing every morning now. Well, of course, Luther cooked and prepared them. And tonight after her busy day, she went to attend Steel Corporation's company dinner party. And though she was quite late, she was readily ushered to the Steel family table. Helen and Eric welcome her while Tim left his circle to greet her. Only Luther remains with some associates, seriously talking. Though their eyes fleetingly met no one noticed. "You're looking great, Amara. Stunning as always" Helen speaks with a gentle smile. She could see the exhaustion on her face but she dare not mention it. "Thank you, mom. Even if I look like a mess, you

Staring at Luther, Arah anxiously waits for his response. But after a while, she got none, instead, he chuckles. A vague reaction to the President's inquiry. And though she tries not to get affected, she felt a slight pang of disappointment."A great man deserves a great woman" President Trevor added despite not getting a reply from Luther. "Yes, indeed, Mr. President" Luther readily agrees while pulling her to him. And she become more apprehensive when he locked her in his arms and places a firm kiss on her forehead. She was never used to a public display of affection, more so in front of the first family. They are hugging in front of the highest ruler of the country and are witnessed by all the guests of tonight's dinner banquet. "Well, take care of your fling, CEO Steel" President Trevor pat him on the shoulder."I will, Mr. President. And thank you for grazing our event" with polite seriousness, he extended his hand to him for a handshake. "We will go ahead. Thank you for the
