All Chapters of ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY HUSBAND : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The first thing she heard was the sound of a vase breaking She could make out the silhouette of a man from afar.His movements were jittery, almost clumsy. He staggeredNot a single person made an attempt to stop him, not even Arman. Like it was something that happened often, something that they were used to Luca's suit had been pulled off, his shirt was rumpled, his hair was messy and his eyes were dark and empty He was making a mess of the place, he broke everything he could lay his hands on, and he was hurting himself in the process Sharon froze when she saw him, her words got stuck in her mouth and she was terrified— for himArman stood at a distance holding his suit jacket, clearly giving him enough spaceSharon walked over the broken ceramic pieces on the floor, her eyes carried a mix of horror and concern“Why”she asked Arman, her voice barely audible “It's his way of cooling off steam”“When did it start?”Arman looked away from her“I'd rather not tell you that”“Tell m

“Sir! Oh my goodness what happened to you?”It was Enya, Luca's secretary. She noticed the bandages on his hands as he opened the door to his office “It was a domestic accident, no big deal”Enya didn't sound convinced She pushed her glasses to the bridge of her nose“With all due respect sir you shouldn't be here right now. If you were injured —”“I'm sure I can manage just fine, send me the files you said needed my attention”“Yes Sir”“There's one more thing” Enya said“Well what is it?”“I finished all my work yesterday, is it okay if I take the rest of the day off?”Enya never really took days off, and she worked really hard“Knock yourself out”Luca opened his laptop and began to work. His fingers clicked the buttons like he didn't feel the painBut he couldn't focus on anything he was doing. Sharon was the only thing on his mind. Why the hell was he even thinking about her?What did she do to him?He was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't realise when someone entered.

Coffee, cream, milk, sugar —Sharon admired her masterpiece, a perfect mug of coffee Her father gave her a call the previous night. He called to threaten her, because he had incurred a huge lossThe reason?She felt concerned about her husband Luca, in his his drunken state of fury and madness.Then she decided to check up on himBy doing that she disobeyed two rules Trespassing, and poking her nose into his business So he punished her—This time, Sharon didn't need much of a reminder. Her mantra that morning was said with enthusiasm “I Will kill Luca Pavilochenki”She took the bottle out of her pocket. Her hands shook, but she was strong willed.Sharon poured three drops.As she held the poison over his mug, she felt a tingling sensation, and cold washed though her, but she ignored the feeling she closed the bottle and put it back inside her pocket She took a deep breath, and the reality of what she just did began to claw at her But Sharon had no time to think. She made her d

He was supposed to push her away, she expected him to push her away, but he stood thereHis palm made contact with her back, and he rubbed slow circles on it“Sharon Gray, what the fuck are you wearing”His voice was strainedAnd somehow, it sounded comical, it didn't sound like he was reprimanding herShe looked up at him“It's— it's a nightgown I bought online I won't wear it anymore if—”“I never said I didn't like it” his voice came in a whisper “But—you never said you liked it either”Luca pulled away from her embrace “I like it if I'm the only one seeing it”She must've heard wrong, she heard wrong, Luca was not talking about her“What—?”“Nevermind”He wasn't going to repeat it again “Have you had dinner?”He asked her“Not really, I barely touched my food when you arrived”Why was he asking if she has eaten? Why was she answering him like she wanted them to eat together?“Go, I'll be with you shortly”She noddedIt was all too awkward. We're they perhaps—Behaving like a n

Sharon didn't have dinner that evening. She stayed up late, waiting for Luca to return But he didn't Time passed, and she was still waiting for his return. Her eyes were heavy, her stomach growled. She watched seconds turn to minutes, and minutes to hours But she was still waiting patiently Every fiber in her being pleaded with her to give up, to sleep, to forget about him But she didn't Her eyelids closed, begging to be put out of their misery. But she would stand up occasionally to walk around, so they would remain open The time was 11:04 And Sharon was slumped on the couch Tired, but awake So tired that she didn't hear the sound of his car. Too tired to notice his jittery movements as he entered the house. He was wasted, and he reeked of alcohol. His hair was messy . He had a look of rage in his eyes. But Sharon still wanted to hug him. She remembered what Arman told her. Luca started his spree of drunkenness and fury when he found out about their arranged ma
