For the first time since he started hosting this charity, Kelvin wasn’t enjoying it. He wished he didn’t have to be the chairman of the event. Now he was stuck here while his wife was God knows where. He had to talk to her before she did something crazy.The microphone almost slipped from his sweaty palms. His mind was on everything but this occasion. He made eye contact with Amara for the third time in one minute, he had given her his phone to call Leila. Amara shook her head slowly and his heart sunk deeper. When she agreed to come with him instead of Amara, his heart had forgotten to function. When she told him they could try to have sex tonight, he had half expected her to burst out laughing and call it a prank. But she didn’t. She was nervous but certain. And Kelvin ruined it. It was a good thing his assistant insisted on coming. She would stay out of the way but he was glad for her presence. The only job he had given her tonig

Kelvin paced the bedroom with his new phone in one hand. Leila was not yet back. She spent another night outside, her third night in a row. She was probably in Charles arms. Kelvin tossed his phone on the bed and ran his fingers through his hair.One thing was clear, he was hurt but he still wanted her. He hated himself for wanting her after watching that video. He hated her for making him want him. The ringing of his phone pulled him out of his thoughts. Freya had called him on Saturday night but he didn’t pick. Kelvin didn’t want to hear what she had to say on behalf of her best friend. He had received a text from her to please call his wife and it left him more furious than he already was. She had to have been aware Leila cheated. They were that close. If Freya had any sense, she would have tried to stop her best friend from doing something silly. What did Charles have over him? Where was that anger when Charles molested h

“Our agreement stands,” Kelvin replied in a flat tone. “You signed it. It Started With A Contract, it will end with a contract. You are a contract wife, yes, I know. But there will be no divorce or annulment for one year.”  Kelvin’s mind was a pool of many emotions as he took in her facial expression. She turned away from him, holding onto the chair as she bawled her eyes out. First, he felt anger, then disgust, pity and fear. He was angry at her for suggesting an annulment. Disgusted by her desperateness to be with the man who nearly raped her. He pitied her because he cared but he was afraid she would leave him. Sometime along the line, he had gotten used to the stability she brought into his life and he wasn’t willing to let her go. As much as she hurt him, he still cared about her. “For this to work, we have to understand each other,” he said in a voice that sounded too strange to him.  They had been married for over three months and he

Kelvin was pissed at what he had just heard but the desire for his wife swallowed his anger. He looked into her eyes and she stared back at him without any doubts.  How did he get so lucky? “Are you sure?” Her answer came in the form of her pulling off the night shirt over her head. The twin buds on her chest pointed at him, he swept her off her feet and lowered her to the bed.  Kelvin kissed the mark on her breast, he wanted to replace it with his tender touches. He sucked on her nipple with a patient delicacy. Leila whimpered his name. Her moans inspired him to go further and his hand dragged down to her inner thighs.  She pulled off her night shorts before he could and he gulped hard at the beauty underneath him. He would do right by her. She was his heavenly flower and she deserved to be treated that way.  His mouth covered her nipple again, he  twirled his tongue over it while his hand went between her leg

Kelvin was rewatching the CCTV video again. He propped his elbows on the table, shoved his fingers into his hair and laughed at himself. Now, he could tell the differences between this woman and Leila. The way she moved reminded him all too much of someone else. Someone he couldn’t remember at the moment. This woman initiated the kiss first, Leila wouldn’t have done that. What if the events of the last few weeks had not been a coincidence? From the pictures of him and Mia snuggling on his hospital bed to the mugging of his wife on her way back from Freya’s house to the gala. Leila insisted he didn’t touch her. The test result from the hospital confirmed that. He punched himself on the knee again. While he was seething for a crime his wife never committed, she was in the hospital getting tested. The only thing that gave him temporal respite was knowing she wasn’t alone throughout the process.Kelvin closed th
