Mrs. Lyla And Her Obsession のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Chapter 11The Dinner Party.Lyla Atelo.My shoulders ached by the time I got home. They were heavy and sore, a testament to all the heavy books I had been carrying since this week began."Lyla, you're back." My husband's voice was the first thing that welcomed me as soon as I stepped on the porch. "And a little late..."The last statement elicited a frown on my face. "Late? Do we have any appointments today?"It was his turn to frown. "Today is the evening, Lyla. For the dinner party night."I began to recall that he had indeed mentioned this to me. "Oh? It's this evening?" I sighed heavily. "I'm so sorry, Michael. I think I'll pass for now. I've been very tired recently from work. My entire body aches. I—"The expression on Michael's face turned ugly. He didn't say a word as he strode back into the house. I followed quietly behind him until my eyes caught sight of something. It was too catchy not to notice."You bought a dress?" My voice came out slightly shocked."Yes, Lyla." He sp

Chapter 13With My Student.Lyla AteloHis cologne filled my nose as he stepped closer to me. Each step was measured, filled with elegance even when he had one hand in his pocket.His voice was as lazy as he looked, but he was breathtakingly handsome. My lips parted slightly as I stared at him in wonder. Under the little glow of the moonlight, I could make out his facial features, but what seemed to hold my interest were his eyes."You look uncomfortable, Lyla." His voice was barely a whisper this time, but I heard it. My ears craved to hear all the things he had to say to me."Well, my husband forced me into this." I said absentmindedly. "And it's 'Mrs. Lyla' to you. What are you doing here?"I knew that was a stupid question. He was obviously here with his parents as a rich heir. But Sage did not reply. He turned around and went behind me. When I was about to turn to see what he was doing, his low growl made me stop."Don't move." It was like a command, and my body and mind listene

Chapter 15His Wife.Lyla Atelo.Saturday morning, and I woke up to the cheery sound of my husband. I frowned slightly at how high-pitched his voice was. I almost suffocated myself with my pillow until I heard my name in his mouth."Yes, Lyla? She is a wonderful woman." He cooed over the phone to whoever he was talking to. "I've never been so blessed to have her as my wife. And soon, she will be the mother of my children."I almost gagged at the thoughts of that. First of all, I didn't see myself going under the sheets with him again, and secondly... well, I couldn't tell him the second reason yet until I was completely sure."You know... we were apart from each other for six long years because of my constant trips to different countries, for the sake of my family and taking care of her, I mean." He added the last part with a little laughter in his voice. "But Lyla... She never complained. Instead, she encouraged me and supported me in every way that she could. I don't know what I've

Chapter 17I Love You.Lyla Atelo."Go and freshen up. You need to look good for our guests. To show them how well I'm taking care of you." Michael had not noticed my swollen face, or maybe he didn't even care about it at all. All that mattered to him right now was his visitors and the role they were about to play in his company."Okay." I washed my hands in the sink after laying out all the dishes on the dining table.I made my way upstairs. Tired and drained. Under the cold shower, the tears fell endlessly from my eyes. That feeling of loneliness had found its way into my heart again. That pain was tearing my heart from its apex up to its base. I was under the shower for close to thirty minutes when I heard pounding footsteps and my name being yelled."Lyla! Lyla! Where are you?" It was Michael. He sounded panicked.I turned off the faucet and grabbed a towel to wrap around myself."I'm here." I called back and opened the bathroom door. Relief instantly flooded his eyes as he took c

Chapter 19You're My First.Lyla Atelo.I came to a conclusion after drafting my priorities.First of all, my future with my husband was quite bleak and the only thing that I held on to now was my teaching job. I wouldn't want to lose it for any reason.Secondly, yesterday's sermon in church touched me, and I felt the deep sense of need to clear the air between Sage and I. I had to reign in my darkest desires for him because no matter what... it felt wrong.Exciting, but really wrong."Mr. Dominic?" I called his name after my first class had ended. His piercing eyes shot up to my face. I gulped and steadied my breath to continue. "I would like to see you in my office during lunch."His expression had turned cold. He didn't give me a second glance after I said that, and I suddenly felt like it was stupid to have a meeting with him. But it didn't matter now, I had already said it out. It was up to him to decide if he would come or not.But still... I don't know why I felt anxious about
