Leena's POV“James, one thing I hate is apologizing and not changing. And you know that.” We stopped at the living room while Kelvin went upstairs to his room.“I mean it this time and ever. I don't cheat on you.” He claimed.“Then, what's the thing with frequent women? Not even one or the same one but new faces?” I asked scornfully.“Can you please trust me and ignore my interaction with women?” He asked, quickly grabbing my hands.I smirked, staring at his face.“How can you ask your wife…?” I paused, swallowing hard on nothing.“Okay, let's say we are married on paper. But how can you tell someone you claim to love to ignore your frequent contact with women? It's not like you have ever touched me!” I queried in disgust.“Leena, it's not like I don't want to touch you. I'm not ready now.” He said sadly.“But you are ready to toy with my feelings?” I forcefully pulled my hands from him, nodding my head.“You see one thing about men is that they keep on playing and fooling the woman t

Leena's POVThe television displayed kiddies cartoon network, I went through stuff on my phone while Kelvin enjoyed the show.We have been waiting for James for more than three hours and it's already past ten.“Sister, will uncle James return today?” Kelvin broke the silence in the room as he looked at me slightly before taking a handful of popcorn.“I don't know, dear. I have dropped messages for him.” I faced him.“I guess he is on his way home.” I assured him with a warm smile.“Sure.” He continued watching the television, cheering his team and smiling happily.Meanwhile, I was currently chatting with Damon since he was online.“[Damon: So what are you saying?]”“[ME: You were right when you said it isn't right to cheat with a married woman.]”It took a while before his message came up and I was anxiously waiting for his response.“[Damon: And… what do you want?]”“[ME: I don't want to put you in a difficult situation and it isn't right to use you because my husband is treating me

Leena's POV“Mr. James, I didn't know you would come with your wife.” I heard one of his friends comment as we strolled into the glamorous hall with our arms locked.“I couldn't let her stay at home on her own. Don't you think it's best to bring her out often?” He smirked with a sly brow raised.“Well, this is a business party, you know.” One lady in the gathering commented, slim and pretty.No doubt she looked like a husband hawker.“Too bad because of my damaged reputation, I got married to a clingy woman. Things like this, she tends to join me all day.” He seemed to be better at lying than I thought and to make the story all appealing, I caressed his arm with a smile on my face.“Sure, I will let you enjoy your night.” He said, nodding his head as we walked away to another empty table.“Babe, can you stay on your own for a while?” He asked, facing me.I looked everywhere, and everyone was with their partners. If he left me alone, what could I possibly do?“Why? Is there a problem?”

Leena's POV“You don't have to do this, you know.” I didn't know I would see him at work the following day.His dashing eyes and charming figure which I tried not to admire before it got the best of me.“I had to do it. That's the only way to soothe my conscience.” I said nervously.“So, what will you do now?” He asked calmly, tucking his hand into his trouser pocket.“I'm writing my last exams in two days and before the month runs out, my statement of result will be out. Getting another job will only be a matter of time, that's not a problem.” I assured him with a warm smile and he nodded, looking shy.“I'm glad that you didn't behave adamant in coming back. This is your position and you have to hold strong to it.” I convinced him and he smirked, patting my shoulder.“I don't know if I should be mad at you, happy that I met you or regret everything.” He muttered, staring into my eyes.There was a brief silence between us and we were brought out of our reverie by the honking sound of

Leena's POV“I don't think we can escape from their grasp.” I muttered to him as we entered the kitchen.He washed the vegetables like carrots, lettuce, tomato, cabbage, green beans, onions while I brought out the chopping board and knife.We wore the aprons while Kelvin and Ashley watched cartoons in the living room.We doubt if they wouldn't hear us as they are so sharp and alert.“If you hadn't made a sound, we would have been out of here by now.” He scoffed, looking annoyed as he washed the vegetables roughly.“So it's my fault now, huh?” I raised an annoying brow.“Do you have any idea that they ripped the sign post I asked Harry to paste around the wall? They wouldn't let anyone apply for the house maid position.” He complained.“We are doomed.” I sighed.“I can't let this continue happening.” He handed the carrot over to me and I began chopping it on the board.“When is Kelvin going back to school?”“When is your friend coming to pick up his child?”We asked almost at the same
