All Chapters of ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY HUSBAND : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“You're leaving”“Yes”“With your wife”“Yes”A long silence followed “Why did you think it important to tell me?”“I— don't know”Sandra kept her cigarette on an ashtray “Would I be wrong for assuming you're in love?”“Not exactly”“So you are in love?”“Yes”She walked seductively towards him. Her fingers brushed the fabric of his shirt, then she took her hand to herself, painfully aware that he was a man she could never ever have “The Luca Pavilochenki, in love?”There was pain in her voice“She must be— special”“She's the very definition”“I see”Why then did you try to hurt her, why did you have to put her through so muchShe walked closer“Why did you have to put me through so much?You made me believe you didn't love her, and we really had a chance. All this while you loved her, and you were just using me to convince yourself otherwise”“I have my flaws and sins”“Well I was willing to love you with them, but I can't, it's never going to happen between us”“No it's not”She

“We will now take off, I urge you to sit tight and make yourselves comfortable”The cheesy voice of the air hostess echoed through Sharon smiled slightly She sat on a plush white cushion, a table was set in front of her with various appetizersLuca was in another room, keeping his word to make things appear like they met on the tripIt was delusional, but cuteTheir first encounter was terrible, their second, even worseAnd now they were just supposed to forget everything, the doubt, the uncertainty, all of itIt was like—A fresh start A sort of do over.They never got to discover anything about each other before they were married, never courted, never had genuine moments Their marriage was like a death sentence, a cross they had to carry, a burden they were straddled with Maybe if they had met under normal circumstances, maybe if they weren't forced into a union, things would've been different For Sharon, it was going to be a journey of self discovery. She was twenty three yea

Sharon's fork fell to the floorHer eyes went blank, and her face was frozen in expression “Sharon I—”“Leave”“What?”“I'm not comfortable— around you”At that moment, Luca realised he had stepped on uncharted territory. Sharon never spoke to him about her nightmares, never gave him an explanation for her post traumatic responsesHe always suspected something, but he never gave in to his curiosity. Never asked, never pried, never raised questions And now, he just ruined a genuine moment, hopefully the first of many to come—By stating that she had a traumatic childhood Luca slowly stood up, with his head bowed “Sharon”“Don't fucking call me that. You're a stranger to me, remember?”Sharon had never spoken to him like that before. Infact she hardly defied him. He usually had his way, somehow. But he was beginning to realise that he hadn't touched the tip of the iceberg And winning her trust, her heart—Was still an abstract thought. One moment he felt like he was making progres

I felt his eyes move from my face,to my neck, to my cleavage. The robe did what it could—I could feel the heat rising inside of me. He wanted me, I could see it in his eyes. But I had to resist him, I mean we had barely even spent a day.If I was going to make it through in one piece, I needed to get him off my mind. That was the problem precisely. He was Luca Pavilochenki—“Ciao Bella signora!”I looked around for the owner of the squeaky voice, but I couldn't find himThen I looked down. He was standing between us, looking at me like I was the most fascinating thing in the world He was missing a few teeth, probably six or seven years old. And then I remembered the chorus that morning. Could he be one of them?“Well hello”I said, wondering if he had been there the whole time. If he had watched me and Luca grow awkward. But wait, he didn't understand English.I heaved a sigh of relief as I patted him on the headHe smiled at me, his missing teeth making him all the more cuteThen h

“You're certain you saw Sharon Gray”“Yes”“That's impossible”Palmer fished into his pocket, and brought out a bunch of pictures. He placed it on the table in front of him Donald picked them up, one after the other and examined them “That's Sharon alright”He placed them back on the table “You creep, you actually bought a camera to take pictures of her”“For evidence”“These pictures are a little too much for evidence. You just want to take them home, glue them to your walls and fantasize about killing her someday”“It's a respectable hobby”Donald sighed Sometimes I wonder how you ended up working for my grandfather in the first place But—Donald took a closer lookShe's a catch, I don't blame you Palmer swiped back the pictures and put them back in his pocket If she's here, then I'm very certain that Luca's here too His secretary's alibi makes sense now—Donald's investigating Blake's parentage, and Mr Hillary Gray's affair brought him to Italy. They wanted to make contact
