All Chapters of Pleasure After Pain: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter Twenty-Two“Why did you come here?” I asked. I’ve been bothered with that. I thought he won’t run after me, or he might be scared to. I escaped him, I might go to the police but I didn’t. Still, doesn’t he feared that possibilities?“The moment I came home and found you gone, I got scared. I don’t want to lose you, Lila. I love you that much.”“You cheated on me.” then I looked at him. “I found you doing some--.” I sighed, unable to continue the words.He looked down to his hands. I don’t know if he is just acting or what but he made a good show of looking ashamed like that.“I know I-”“Tell me, Taylor.” I shifted on my sit to face him properly. Taylor looked at me with the same expression he has on since I saw him today. “What are you? Are you gay?”He frantically shook his head. “N-No, no, I’m--”“Okay, let’s play this game.” I chuckled. “Question and answer, but I will be the only one asking.”Taylor slowly nodded so I started.“If you are not gay, are you bisexual?”He l

Chapter Twenty-FourI opened my eyes and looked at him. Tears started to crawl from my eyes and I felt my heart heaving as I look at the man in front of me.“What happened to you, T?” my voice trembled. My husband looked down. I don’t know what he was thinking but the fact that he can’t look at my eyes meant he is guilty. At least a bit.After a while, he looked back up to me and smiled wryly. “I failed, I guess. I failed to be the good husband that I promised you I’ll be. I failed to keep my secrets away, I failed you.”I cried more from his answer. Tears rolling down my eyes but I can’t make any sound. My throat felt like its being clenched, like a hand was gripping on it tight.Am I wrong to not gave him a chance? What is it that changed between us now? Is this the limit of my love for him?Yes.I can’t see myself with him again. I can’t see Lila living with a new Taylor, his secrets might be better to just be kept but I also don’t want secrets coiling with my relationship.“Yes, y

Chapter Thirty-Three Our eyes locked the moment we stepped into the elevator. There were five other people inside, and our floor was the last stop. He looked at me with undeniable heat, and I knew I looked at him the same way. I wanted him now. I wanted to kiss him, to devour him. I craved another taste of the feeling I knew only he could provide. Kyler reached for my hand, his fingers weaving through mine, pulling me closer. The warmth of his touch sent shivers down my spine. I sighed, a deep, longing breath. Pure lust was taking me over, every inch of my being screaming for his proximity. I felt as if I were being consumed by the intensity, as though I was devouring him with my gaze alone. Now, it's clear to me that he wants me. Not as a mere distraction, not as a fleeting amusement to pass the hours. He desires me, not superficially, but with a depth and sincerity

Chapter Twenty-Seven I wonder why they have the secret passage but maybe that’s the riches way to build a house? “This is a shortcut in case of life threatening emergencies.” she whispered, explaining to me when she noticed my confusion. I bit my lip and nodded. We reached her car and true to her words, there was no guard\ around. Yet. “Get inside the trunk.” I did. I slid myself perfectly and my tiny figure fitted in. My body can’t stop shaking and my heartbeat was fast and loud inside the dark compartment of Grace’s car. “Mind your head, I might sped up at some point.” then she closed the trunk. Suddenly, I thought that it was so easy for her now to kill me. What if she let her car fall down a river and I

Chapter Twenty-Nine I bit my lip. What does he mean? “I don’t know what you’re talking about…” “Just hearing that you came for me, I canceled my flight. To think that you already chose to fix things with your husband, I still…” he murmured a curse. “I didn’t!” His brow rose and his lips parted. “You didn’t what?” Biting my lip, I looked down to my fingers. “I didn’t get back with Taylor…” He cursed softly. “Then why didn’t you come to me last night?” “I was…” Should I tell him? I was hesitant to tell him that Taylor abducted me. I know Kyler is rich and wealthy, he probably can help me. But…
