I told myself there was no room for distractions. I had built up solid walls to fight against whatever was going to cause a delay in my plans. Or so I thought.I was so certain that the revenge was my only goal and there was going to be no space for weakness or emotions but Davian was crumbling those walls with just a flick of his fingers.It wasn't supposed to be like this. The attraction I fostered years ago wasn't supposed to be so fresh in my head, fearing upon his touches and making me feel hazy with lust anytime he kissed me.There had been a moment yesterday when I thought it would be over once I fucked him out of my system but it was all a lie. sex with him had unlocked a new prospect I didn't know lingered after a night of blazing passion.I was terrified. I was barely married for two days and my heart kept beating anytime he looked at me. My world was tipping anytime he pulled me to his chest so he could wrap his hands around me possessively.Davian had become a stranger bar

I was irritated. I was so close to having my brains eaten out when Davian’s work phone went off. I tried to convince him to ignore it but he wouldn't. I had no choice but to unlatch my legs from around him so he could answer the call while I got dressed begrudgingly. Looking at how mad he was now, I wished I hadn’t let him go because there was no way we would go back to our activities when he was angry.My eyes followed Davian as he went off on the phone while pacing the room angrily. I felt bad for whoever was on the other end of the line because I never wanted to be at the receiving end of that.From the little snippets of the conversation that I’d heard, it seemed his Vice messed up a very important deal that they'd been spending months preparing for and I felt pity for the guy and the same time relief because if he was here, I wouldn't put it past Davian to wrap his hands around his throat and kill him."Fuck, Arlo. How is it possible to mess up this badly? I warned you to keep y

If there was a movie for my current predicament, the title would be The Waiting Games. It's been two days since I came back and settled in Davian’s house and three since I saw the man. He had told Nico to inform me that he had an urgent business trip to Germany. It had been both humiliating and infuriating to hear about my husband’s whereabouts from the staff when I had a perfectly working phone.I couldn't believe how childish and petty he was. There was no way he wasn't still angry about my statement. As much as I wanted to try not to undermine his feelings, it was difficult to when he was acting like that.“If that's what you want, I can play the game more than you can” I huffed to myself as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Davian didn't know I was a master at the silent treatment. He just started a game he couldn't win.I ran my hands through the length of my hair that had grown. I wasn't sure I wanted to cut it. I always left my hair length around bra length but it was t

“Mika, are you sure you want to do this? We put in so much to keep this hidden” Grandma Reika fussed over the line. We had not spoken since I came back here because we were being careful in case someone at any point decided to tap into my conversation.Yet, here I was about to reveal the reason for being so uptight. At least now I could call her without any fear.“I'm sure, Obaasan. It was unrealistic to think I could keep it hidden. I would rather let the truth come out and fight to protect it than allow those two to get their hands on my money again”Grandma sighed and I knew she didn't agree with me but she would not stop me. She already assured me she wouldn't try to stop me again and would just support me. “Are you sure transportation and security are all you need me for? A little bird told me you have issues locating certain information” I closed my eyes and cussed out mentally. I knew it wasn't Shiro because he would tell me if he had gone to her. This confirmed another of m

If there was one thing I couldn’t stand if it wasn’t already obvious, it was disrespectful people and people who thought they were better than others. The man who just interrupted Kurt was bathed in conceited arrogance that made him look more pitiful than the hairstyle on his head as he stood with his arms folded and a smirk on his face while his eyes roamed the room.“Did you just interrupt me, boy?” Kurt demanded, the unmistakable authority in his voice making the intruder flinch as though he just realized what he had done. I saw the moment fear fizzled out of the arrogance he had but it was for a brief moment. Kurt eyed his stance and he dropped his arms immediately, correcting his posture. A patronizing smile graced his face and he hurried over to Kurt.“Uncle, you know I meant no disrespect. I didn't mean to interrupt you. I'm sorry” He apologized, bowing his head slightly to show respect. Kurt scoffed to tell him he didn't believe him “Take a seat” He instructed and the newc
