Louis was already in his office, sipping on his coffee when his phone started to buzz. It was his father.'Louis, I know you are upset right now. I don't want you doing anything. I have this under control. You may be livid right now but you would not act impulsively and ruin my chances of being mayor this time?''You've totally lost me, father. I'm actually trying to figure out what you're chattering on about.''You have not seen the news? Your little wife is being eaten up everywhere. News is everywhere that-' Louis ended the call and hurriedly checked for trending news online. Pictures of his wife were everywhere with demeaning captions. He saw article that compared her past and present. She was in old pictures of her massive cheap clothes that hid her appealing curves so well and recent pictures that she had taken with him. And it was clear from the comments that everyone branded her a gold digger.They had somehow found out about her job as a bookkeeper had somehow gotten pict

Wendy had, as usual, carried on with her life like nothing has happened. At first, Louis was disturbed. How did she switch easily from having a full blown mental breakdown to talking about how the cream in your coffee tasted like some chocolate you used to have when you were six.She had done the same thing after he had found her shivering under the hot shower. And it threw Louis off, completely. And they had ended up never talking about the incident again. How would they? The woman treated him like he had been overacting. If he had not held her shaking body in his arms through the night, he would have started to doubt of the incident really happened.But today, Louis decided to play her game. While she sat in bed, chattering about some childhood chocolate, while emptying the jar of cream into her little coffee cup, he sat across the room, with his head buried in some old news paper that had been lying around carelessly.While he sat there, he wondered what her plans were. Make him t

When Wendy received the package from Louis, she didn't know how to react. She was still stinging from his distasteful announcement that she was nothing to him but an arsenal in the nasty battle between two parents.It was not like she wasn't aware her entire situation was temporary, but hearing it from Louis stung as hell.He probably didn't know what effect that statement had on her. He was out there about his normal business, casually sending in huge gift packages to serenade her. Or maybe he knew. That was why he was sending in the gifts. To make up for everything. The public damage on her image. The fact that he had basically incarcerated her in his house and had in clear terms referred to her as a fucking piece on their chessboard.She sat on the across the room and stared at the large gift packages that sat on the classic antique table in the room. She stared at the package with mixed feelings of curiosity and distaste.She wanted to know what he got for her and at the same ti

'You are lying. you are lying, aren't you?' She stared at him, her eyes begging him to say he was being serious. Her hands were shaking. Her heart, racing. It was too good to be true and it scared her that she wanted it to be true so bad.'Why would I lie?' He stared back, his eyes shinning with deep conviction.Don't just believe him, Wendy warned herself. 'I don't know. There are many reasons. You don't want me to leave?'Louis scoot closer to her. 'Come on. You know I don't have to lie to keep you with me. You signed a contract that I can always refer to.''I don't know. You could have said that because you want me as docile as possible. Not making a fuss. Completely submissive because I have started to think there's something between us.' She answered.Louis nodded his head. 'There is. There's something here. And I'm not lying. I have no reason to. I really like you, Wendy and I'll be a liar to say that I haven't found having you around and in my bed, fascinating. I want you, W
