Do you think i like you?

I wasted no time getting out of my car when I got home. I practically ran into the house, shamelessly. It was already past 11pm, and I wondered if Aaron was still waiting or if he had gone to bed after waiting for me for a while.My heart sank when I found the sitting room empty. He wasn’t there.Had he been here for a while and angrily gone back to his room? Or what if he wasn’t home?I couldn’t hide the disappointment I felt as I paced around the sitting room looking at the stairs like he would magically appear there.The former me would have just gone to my room to sleep and probably wallow in agony alone, but this me was different. I was bold, desperate, and forward.And so I climbed the stairs and instead of heading to my usual west wing, I headed for the east wing. For the first time.My palms were already sweaty by the time I got to his door. I paused for a while, eyes closed, taking short deep breaths.Then I knocked. And waited. No answer.I knocked again, harder this time, I

Chapter 62

“What did you have in mind when you suggested this?” I asked, still annoyed.“You choose”I scoffed. “You are so annoying,” I said, taking deep breaths to calm down so the next thing I say would be calm. “I wanted to talk, laugh, and maybe even drink a little. The way Ryan and I used to, it's been so boring in the house since he and Taylor left and when you suggested this, I got too excited. I forgot for a moment that you are who you are,” I said then ended it with a hiss.“And that is?”“Huh?”“Who do you think I am?”“A grumpy arrogant bore” I replied sharply.He nodded. “Teach me”“What?”“Teach me to be the way you want and how to do the things you want to do,” he said very calmly and seriously.My eyes flickered in surprise. “Really?”He stated plainly at me, the stare that was usually his way of affirmation.“Do you know how to keep up with a conversation?”“I try,” he drawled lazily.“Then let's talk”“Why did you and Noah break up? And most importantly, why is he still in you

About Vivienne

VIVIENNE’S POVIf Aaron thought he could easily toss me aside, he was in for something else!I flung my phone across the room angrily.“Fuck!” I cursed. I dialled Aaron’s number sixty-seven times, but it kept redirecting to voicemail. My texts were not responded to either.He had changed, I could tell. He didn't treat me badly, and still provided all my needs but he barely gave me any attention anymore.He was still as generous as ever, for example, I'm currently in Mauritius and I've been shopping heavily with his credit card.Aaron and I were doing good, but everything started going wrong when his father suddenly called one day and requested to see me.Now I knew his parents never liked me, it was evident, but I didn't give a fuck honestly, I didn't need them.During my meeting with his father that day, he had wasted no time in reminding me that i was no match for his son and that i was nothing but an opportunist and a gold digger, and when i tried to challenge him, he spilled wine

Phone call and butterflies

ELIZABETH’S POVThe interior designer and I discussed what I wanted for my room, and she got to work immediately. I was so excited and touched that Aaron had taken into consideration my complaint about the room and immediately sent a designer to correct it.It made my heart flutter, he wasn't so bad anyway, and it made me like him even more.I had to temporarily move to another room while the designer worked on mine, I toyed with the idea of sleeping in Aaron’s room since he wasn't here but I killed the idea real quick. Let's not push boundaries.So I took another room.I stared at his number saved to my phone as “Husband Jerk” and wondered if I could call, or text… to thank him and maybe also check up on him. Was I even allowed to do that? I didn't want to come off desperate or eager for his attention.“If I just send a thank you text, it wouldn't be that bad would it?” I asked out loud to myself.“I mean I should say thank you. Or should I just wait for him to get back? He's getting

Chapter 65

I woke up that morning in the best mood I’d ever been in weeks. My cheeks still felt sore from all that smiling I did last night, as the phone call I had with Aaron continued ringing in my head like my favourite song.I still couldn't believe that Aaron called me, and it wasn't to scold or admonish me, but to check up on me. We talked. I couldn't believe it. He said he’d call again. I looked forward to it.I wondered when he’d call, morning, afternoon, or night? Regardless, I had my phone by my side at all times, not failing to check it every time to see if I missed a call.Even Davina, the interior designer noticed.“Do you need to make an important call ma'am? You can go ahead, we will just continue later” she said.I shook my head at her with a smile. “I’m just expecting a call, but let's continue regardless,” I said.The decoration was going smoothly. My room had magically transformed from a plain lifeless guestroom to something heavenly and homely.The once plain cream walls had

Chapter 66

Aaron called back at night, as promised.My heart leaped for joy as I saw his name on the screen and I picked faster than I blinked.The call was long, warm, and refreshing.I had sent him a video of my room earlier and he replied with; ‘Davina is really good at her job’I guess that was his way of saying the room looked beautiful. The message had sounded formal as if he were talking to his business partner, but I didn't mind. It was the first time we were texting anyway.The way he had loosened up talking to me over the phone, he would definitely loosen up with texting soon.I asked how his day was, and he answered me. I asked what he had for dinner and he told me, he asked me as well and I told him I had some grilled shrimp and salad that Heather had made.“You didn't have your usual pasta today?” he asked.He noticed.I smiled, no, I added another layer of smile to the one I already had before I replied to him.“No, I decided to try something different. But I'm definitely having pa

I had to see her

AARON’S POVI sat at the edge of my hotel bed, fully dressed in my tux, staring at the clock ticking. My next meeting was in less than an hour, and I should have left now if I wanted to be there early.I was never late for a meeting.But I wasn't interested in the meeting. I wasn't thinking about the outcome of the meeting or the strategies I had to put into place to score the investors. All I could think about was her.Elizabeth.I had planned to return home days ago, but each day, something new came up. If it wasn't another board meeting it was a last-minute investor call or a dinner with a stubborn partner. I pushed my return again and again. At first, it made sense, because business first, always. This wasn't the first time I was extending my trip based on business.But this time, it didn't feel right. Something kept pulling me home.I couldn't explain it at first. I told myself I was just tired, and that I needed a break. But deep down, I knew the truth.I missed her.I didn't kn

Chapter 68

ELIZABETH’S POV“Return to your station - now!” Aaron snapped at Heather and Anna immediately. His voice was sharp, cold and authoritative like he hadn't just asked for my permission to kiss me in a seductive whisper.Anna quickly ducked her head backwards while Heather genuflected before scurrying away with that “I had just seen something unbelievable” look still on her face. When we were alone, Aaron and I laughed - awkwardly. At the interruption, the kiss, everything that had just happened.“Well, that was…” I scratched my head nervously. “Awkward?”“Sorry about that. I should warn them not to interrupt us next time” he said.My tummy pooled with excitement. “Next time?” I asked.He raised an eyebrow. “You wouldn't want this to happen again?” “I want it” my response was too quick and too desperate, much more than I intended.He smiled, the kind that made my heart flutter. So warm, so genuine, so beautiful. We just stared at each other, not saying a word.This moment was beautiful

Chapter 69

AARON’S POV.As I drove home, Vivienne called me. And this time I picked.“You have been avoiding my calls!” she screamed into my ears so loudly that I had to move the phone away. “Aaron, if you think you can use me and dump me so carelessly because you have a new trophy wife at home then you must be joking. I, Vivienne Stone refuse to be tossed around like some random piece of trash!”She was angry, and truthfully, even though I didn't like her tone, her anger was very much justified. I kept quiet.“So you're just going to pick up and not say a word to me huh?” she shouted again.“I'm going to respond to you if only you can tone down your voice a notch,” I said calmly.“You don't get to tell me how to speak after you have ignored me for almost a week!” she retorted, then she burst out crying.I sighed. Could I just catch a break for crying out loud? The main reason I came back home was to relax and spend time with my wife, not this drama with my dad and now Vivienne.My wife.In my

Two can play a game of night out

ELIZABETH’S POVThe excitement I had felt when Aaron returned quickly died when hours later, he hadn't returned. I had texted him. Twice.No response.I sat on the edge of my bed, the soft lighting of my room doing nothing to soothe the agitation twisting in my chest.When I couldn't take it anymore, I went downstairs and sat on the couch directly facing the entrance. My eyes were fixated on the door, as if he would magically appear there anytime soon.When it clocked midnight, I decided to call him. I had hesitated before because I didn't know the situation of things but I wanted to be sure he was safe.I dialled his number and there was no response. Now, I didn't know if he was ignoring me on purpose or if truly something had happened to him.A few minutes later my phone rang, it was him. I picked up immediately.“Aaron” I breathed in urgency. “Where have you been? Are you safe?”I heard rustling at the other side like he was walking away.“Yeah,” he simply said, his voice low.“Ye
