Semua Bab THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself : Bab 171 - Bab 180

ELIOT'S POV "We will." I said in response, quick. Cause did she think I was going to let some dumb ass handle or be in such close contact with her as a team lead? I was the leader of this team. Her team. And I would make sure everything as regards to her goes on without a hinge. No offence but no team lead will be contacting my wife for whatever reason. I already had one bastard to deal with, needed no more. The meeting went on after that, rounding up. A few more pointers, re-evaluation of all that'd been talked about, everyone was dispersed. My feet rising and moving before I could think twice. The door to the conference room opened, she stepped out, and so did I. Our movements in sync. The staff behind us, murmuring. Whispering, but I could hardly care what it was about. My eyes were fixed on her. On her hair. The long, smooth black mass rooted in her scalp and falling back down to her waist. That same waist I remembered holding unto as she unraveled on top of my fac

SERENA'S POV Couple of minutes later after that, we headed out. Me to Ward Syndicate building and Axel back to his office. He'd taken a long break to come see me, and promised to pick me up as well. Which was fine because we would have dinner. We've been doing that a lot recently and as surprising as it may seem, I loved it. Insane delicious food + Axel explaining his experience outside the country when he attempted a cooking profession, I don't see why I won't love dinner. Other than that, it felt good. Warm, to have someone to share the night with not just having sex. Even if I wouldn't the sex. Frankly, if I was being honest. I wanted to check It out. I mean, I should. Maybe that way I'd see it's even better and permanently have no need to be thinking back at someone else. My package would be complete. Make sense, right? I probably sound like a slut right now, right? Yup. I do. Time to concentrate, concentrate Serena. I blinked my eyes, forcing stop all stupid

ELIOT'S POV "Okay sir!" I jerked, startled by the sudden intrusion. My eyebrows squeezing immediately, a scowl forming on as an absolutely oblivious John showed up in front of me. Blocking my view with smiles on his annoying face. "Let's do it as we practiced, alright?" He said, "Follow the script. Stick to the script, you have to stick to it no matter what. Be gentle. Women like gentle." I just narrowed my eyes. Turned away from him, my irritation growing, eyes returning back to the vacant pathway leading from the road to show when a person drives in. "Why isn't she here yet? Didn't you call to remind her?" I muttered, checked my watch and then at the buzzing persons in front of the white executive coach waiting to be used. "I did call her, sir." John said, "She's on her way, I know it." "And if she's not?" I faced him, features tight. "What if she's not coming, what then? What's the plan then? Instead of standing around talking here, go make sure she gets here. Else you're

SERENA'S POV The honeymoon suite," The lady repeated. "You're sharing the room, aren't you? You're a couple?" I was sharing a room? We were sharing a room? Together? Tonight? All through this week?!! "Thank you," he just showed up beside me, taking the second keypad. "We are a couple. Have the bags sent up." "Yea sir." The lady smiled immediately. Like this was okay. Completely and totally okay. Which it was, we were still technically married and... and everyone on the team thought us loving and happy. "The keypads are a twin." The lady added, looking up from her system. "They're a couple's card." I looked down at my hands, the keypad she gave me. And sure enough it was a half shaped heart. A red half shaped heart. Same as the one handed to him too. Both were similar. Would be a complete pair if placed together. "The perfect heart!" The lady grinned for emphasis, confirming my thoughts right then. "We hope your stay here be as full and passionate as the red hearts.

ELIOT'S POV I stood there, stunned beyond measure. My eyes wide as he wiggled his shoulders a bit, dancing. One hand holding onto his phone, his features smiling as he watched the screen. Repeating the words he'd said before, "You're my only love in the whole universe. I love you, I miss you, I miss you Jessica. I love you my precious jewel!" His voice echoed, laughter emitting from his phone in response. Delighted. Which only seemed to make him more energised, more dancing ensuing now. Shoulders, feet, and waist moving in an utterly ridiculous manner. Horrendous! Completely horrendous, especially for a man like him! But he didn't seem to care. "Awww, I love you too honey. Thank you." "I love you more, Jess." He kissed his screen again, "Stop crying, okay? Please don't cry anymore. I'll be home before you know it!" "Promise?" "Promise!" He assured her, smiling fondly. A few more normal talks followed after that, my body using that chance to recover from the shock, tak
