Semua Bab Hands off my wife ( my little secret with Mr CEO): Bab 11 - Bab 20

"Bye, Rayn," Laura waved at me. Was she mocking me? I felt ashamed of myself. I drove, following them. All the way home. By the time we got home, I was boiling. I wanted to scream. I wanted to say how I really felt. I walked up to Leo and his dad in the parlor. I stood in front of Ethan with my hand on my waist. He noticed trouble and told Leo to go upstairs and do his homework. Then he lifted an eyebrow like, "What's wrong?" I was physically shaking, tears running down my cheeks. "Seriously? You're asking me what's wrong? Of course everything is wrong. With you, with this house, with our marriage. You barely look at me. You barely touch me." I was choking on my own tears. I turned back, folding my hands to get a grip of myself. Ethan just sat down, looking at me. Maybe... emotionless. He sighed. Long. Like I was stressing him. "Rayn, what are you doing?" He leaned back on the couch. "You are embarrassing yourself. In front of our son. Again." "Laura bro

RAYN'S POVThe past two weeks have been blissful. Ethan finally notices me — my beautiful family actually feels like a family again. The sex has been good too; at least he's trying. Sometimes we go twice in one night.I think I finally have everything under control.And I quit working for Alex. It's been two weeks since I've seen him. I just sent him a text saying I quit and he hasn't replied till now.Am I happy? Yes, in a way, because my secrets are buried.Sad? Yes, because it feels like he just used me like his other mistresses. He didn't even bother to reply. Like I meant nothing."Merry Christmas..." I said happily, coming down the stairs.Leo and his dad were decorating the Christmas tree. Leo had tinsel all over his hair and Ethan was laughing — really laughing — for the first time in months.It looked perfect.I thought for a second, maybe this is it. Maybe the affair, Alex, the guilt — maybe it's all finally behind us.Then the doorbell rang.Ethan shouted, "Rayn, can you ge

That morning was quiet. Too quiet, a novel Christmas morning I had my laptop open to check my mails while outside my window, Ethan and Leo were rolling the biggest snowball I had ever seen. Leo's cheeks were red, their laughter loud."Make his head smaller!" Ethan yelled."No Dad, make it bigger!" Leo argued back.I smiled without even realizing it.Then my phone buzzed.Credit Alert.I picked it up lazily, expecting the usual debit nonsense. But when I saw the amount, my hand froze.$10,000 has been credited to your account.I just stared at it. No excitement. No shock. Nothing.I hissed under my breath."Tch. As if money fixes everything."And I dropped the phone back on the table and continued scrolling through my mails like nothing happened.Buzz. Buzz.Alex.My heart did that stupid little skip it always does when I see his name, even though I hate it.Alex: Received what I sent?I stared at the message for a good three seconds before replying.Me: Seen. Thank you, but I didn't

I can't even see myself having a baby right now.And miss out on what I was having with Alex?Who wants a pregnant woman? Who would still look at me the same way?The thought came so fast I was ashamed of it."Darling... a baby right now is a lot. We have to think it through..." I said, trying to sound convincing, reasonable. The good wife voice.Ethan sat up a bit. The blanket slipped off his shoulder."Babe, I am already convinced," he said. "This is what we need right now. Us. A fresh start."He was looking at me so lovingly. And then his eyes shifted. Just a little.A doubt."Are you hiding something from me?" he asked quietly.My heart stopped.It wasn't angry. It was hurt. Confused.For a second I thought he meant Alex.But he didn't."Hide? Hide what?" I said too quickly.He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.You know what," he said, drawing to a conclusion. His voice was already sleepy again. "Let's just sleep on it. Hopefully by morning you'll have a change of mind."He l

I picked up my phone and called Alex. One ring. Then straight to voicemail. "What the fuck?" I whispered to myself. I called again. Nothing. My hands were shaking. Could this be Ethan? Did he know? God, did he know what I was doing? My mind was spinning in a hundred different directions. I couldn't think. I couldn't breathe. I was just pacing around the room, my phone clutched so tight my knuckles turned white. Finally, I opened the unknown number. My fingers hovered over the keyboard for a second before I typed. Me: What do you want? The reply came almost immediately. Like he was already staring at his phone, waiting for me. Unknown: Just a taste of you. I froze. Then another bubble popped up. Unknown: I deserve my own fair share. My heart started pounding so loud I could hear it in my ears. Another message. Unknown: Not only Mr. Nice and handsome CEO. My stomach dropped to the floor. He knew. He knew about him Who the hell was this person? Me: Who are you?
