“I cannot believe you didn’t get the flag,” Kelvin said. “Shut up,” Leila mumbled, walking ahead of him to the car. She slammed the door close, glaring at her husband who doubled over in laughter. It wasn’t her fault the leader of the opposing team snuck up on her and shot her. She had been so close to the flag. Leila flipped her husband the middle finger. She was sure now that Kelvin came there to seduce her. He deliberately distracted her. Kelvin joined her inside the car. She didn’t give him a chance to talk before saying, “I don’t want to hear it.”“Loser,” he muttered. “You betrayed your husband for nothing. One shot to the chest without remorse. I’m disappointed in you.” Her face grew warm. Her team would have won. “Whatever.” They had changed out of their overalls and cleaned up. She inserted the key into the ignition

Kevin passed his wife another glance for the seventh time in one minute. They were on his private jet to Europe and she had fallen asleep the minute they took off. She handled her mother’s departure with grace and he intended to pamper her for the duration of their visit.Leila mumbled something in her sleep. He chuckled as she reached out for him, loving the fact that she sought him even when subconscious. He kicked off his shoes, joined her on the bed and snuggled closer to her. She sighed contently in his arms. He stayed on the bed with her for a few more minutes before switching back to the seat by the bed. He had a few things to do and he wanted to be close to his sleeping beauty of a wife. His mother-in-law was fine. That much, he was glad to tell Leila. What he wouldn’t be able to tell her about was the bodyguards he had assigned to her parents. If the attack on her mother was from an outsider, the guards would step into action sho

Once the door to the room shut behind them, Kelvin flared up. “That was so unnecessary, mum.” “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” his mum replied in a cheery voice, a practised smile on her face.Kelvin walked ahead of her to create more distance in case Leila was eavesdropping. He didn’t stop walking till he was at the front of his parent’s room. His mum caught up with him and he opened the door for her. His dad was reading a newspaper on the single sofa by the tall window when he entered inside. Kelvin forgot all about his mother’s drama as he rushed to his father for a much needed hug. “Dad,” he said into his father’s chest, crouching so they were almost the same height. He had missed his old man. His father’s green eyes crinkled. All of the kids had skipped out on green eyes except Annie. Speaking of Annie, he was yet to see his sister. “I didn&rsqu

Leila was eating slowly. She shoved a spoonful of the oatmeal into her mouth without looking away from the laptop. Kelvin nudged her with his elbow and her eyes flew to him. “Are you okay?” he asked. She had been unusually quiet since his mother left the room. He was glad his mother showed up to apologise because he couldn’t handle the tension between them. Leila dragged the breakfast tray to the centre of the bed. Since she was seated between his legs, he couldn’t fully see her face. “What is it?” “What is what?” she replied. He quirked a brow and she let out a laugh that seemed too forced. “Just enjoying the movie.” The movie he could have sworn she wasn’t paying attention to. He let this slide. Leila finally finished her breakfast and he pulled away so he could be facing her. “Do you have any idea who the guest might be?” “No,” he answered. The guest mi

Leila was furious. So that was her mother-in-law’s plan? To bring Kelvin’s ex into the house to seduce him? She had turned down Annie’s offer to relax in her room only to meet that shameless pig talking trash. Who cared about their past?Once they were inside their room, she let go of her husband. Kelvin pinned her to the wall. “My love, just ignore everything she said.” She pursed her lips and Kelvin scrubbed a hand through his hair. “Baby, I’m going to destroy the treehouse. I promise.” “You used to fuck her?” Leila asked. Kelvin gulped. “Yes.” “Hmm,” was all she said. “Leila. My baby. My love. It was such a long time ago. I haven’t touched her since forever.” “But you still asked me to come to lunch without any panties on.” Kelvin’s face reddened. She pushed him and he stepped b
