Chapter 31: Kayla's Pov My heart would not simply stop racing."This is for the best," I muttered to myself as I paced into my room. "Either I fight now, or that man steps on me with his devilishly expensive shoes for the rest of this marriage." I hadn't even done anything that dramatic, maybe moving into my husband's room was a bit much but I wasn't going to sit around being treated like a ghost bride.I sank into bed, sighed deeply, and gazed at the ceiling as if it owed me explanations. Then I picked up my phone and called Kinsey, the only person who wouldn't think I was crazy. "Hey girl! "What's up?" she asked, her voice as bright and loud as usual. "I just declared war, I said."There was a pause. "Like, on a nation? Or Dante?" "Same difference." "Spill it." "I moved my belongings into his room."There was another pause, and then there was a slow, evil laugh. "No. "Oh, I did. You didn't. Being this quiet little bride is something I'm sick of. He speaks to me as though I'm a los

chapter 32

Chapter 32This connection was strange.Unexpectedly. Like a real-life pop-up advertisement, Monica suddenly materialized and said, "Dinner is ready, ma'am. I looked at Jake n." He gave me a look. We both got up, and I grinned and said, "Let's go," knowing that I would soon see Dante.It was too quiet for dinner.Jake had fallen back into his typical "mysterious robot mode," chewing silently as if we were once more strangers. It didn't bother me. I was thinking about other things, such as a husband who was emotionally constipated.When I saw him, tall and stormy, making his way upstairs, my fork stopped in midair. Oh. So Mr. Broody arrived home early?I got up, grinned at Jake, and said, "See you around, Jake," before I could finish my meal.Jake gave me a quick look. "Will you be visiting your spouse?Hold on, what?I was taken aback by the question. It was strange coming from him, casual but tinged with something I couldn't quite put my finger on. "Yeah, I... I'm going to see him,

chapter 33

Chapter 33: Dante's povI looked at the door for a second longer than I should have after Kayla left.What precisely was she attempting to accomplish?What was her ultimate goal in this abrupt shift, the gentle tone, the playful gaze, the unwelcome intimacy?Was she attempting to win my heart?I nearly burst out laughing.She is wasting her time if that is her plan. I don't stumble. I don't bend. I'm not feeling anything.Who gets tired first?I entered the bathroom after unbuttoning the remaining buttons on my shirt. Not because I felt awkward around her.I don't need to be. All I needed was the cold water to help me stop thinking.My body was worn out. My thoughts are more so.Recently, business has become more aggressive. There are too many mouths speaking in inappropriate places. I required clarification.I emerged from the shower feeling rejuvenated and at ease. There was still nobody in the room.The same Kayla who promised to return.Was she buying an army of skincare products?

chapter 34

Chapter 34 "If that statement was meant to break me, it won't work if you're trying to push me back into my shell," she said. She grinned once more, but this time it was softer.Perhaps the monster in me is hidden by my skincare regimen. Alternatively, the monster might simply decide not to appear tonight.After her final comments, we just stood there in silence. She kept her gaze fixed. Neither was I going to.At last, she broke the quiet. "I don't want to stress you out," she stated calmly and deliberately. "You ought to simply go to bed and rest. I'll get ready and be with you shortly.I squinted at her. "You're not serious." "Oh, I am," she said coolly. Don't a husband and wife share a bed? Thus, we are undoubtedly sharing a bed.This had to be a play of some kind. A test. Perhaps she wanted to see if I would push her away, become enraged, or lose my temper. I didn't satisfy her, so I said, "Fine," in a flat voice."I'll prepare shortly. after I'm finished here. "That's fine by me,

chapter 35

Chapter 35: Dante's pov I drifted off without even realizing it.She was humming next to me and tinkering with the TV remote like an unattended child. If there's one thing I know for sure, though, it's that she watched that fucking movie at the loudest volume possible. on purpose. merely to irritate me.I was too exhausted to keep up with her chaos, so I let her. Or perhaps...Perhaps all I wanted was for her to expend all of that careless energy. Perhaps after exhausting herself, she would relax and cease making such an effort to agitate me.There was an odd silence when I woke up.No background noise. No disparaging remarks. No sarcastic "good morning, husband" or dramatic sighs.My body ached a little, but it wasn't from discomfort; rather, it was from staying on the edge of the bed all night. No, not falling off. Just enough space to ensure she didn't sense my presence before moving on to another performance. Space, since I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction.I glanced

chapter 36

Section 36My thoughts had already changed by the time I got to work.The meeting had begun at that precise moment.As soon as I entered, I joined the other CEOs in the boardroom.We were talking about the expansion of new housing developments into disputed areas, paying the residents, and whether or not demolish was necessary.figures, presentations, and never-ending arguments.Hours went by like a slow-moving storm cloud.I went back to my office during the break, closed the door, and began making plans. When I was by myself and no one was around to question my every move, ideas came to me more easily.In actuality, it was time to go back. I made my way to the boardroom. I have a habit of running my fingers over the phone in my pocket.Then it began to buzz. I got a call from Kayla.That was not normal I frowned as I gazed at the screen.My spouse is phoning me. For the first time in history. What on earth could she possibly desire?Without hesitation, I put the phone back in my po

chapter 37

Chapter 37: Kayla's pov I had no idea why I went to Dante's office. I ought not to have. I knew I had made a bad choice the moment his voice became icy in that boardroom. And yet, like some hopeful idiot attempting to overcome a brick wall, there I was, standing in front of influential men and women, carrying a warm meal flask. I'm currently sitting in the backseat of the car, looking out the window like the lead character in the music video for Heartbreak. I urged the driver to "take me home," and he did just that, returning me to a place that didn't feel like mine. I was thinking of things I could do as the streets went by. stupid things. Crazy things. Delicious things. Anything that would cause the ice walls surrounding his heart to come down. But what happens if he doesn't? I was intellectually and emotionally spent by the time we turned into the driveway. Like a ghost, I cautiously got out of the car and headed upstairs. I returned to my room and gazed at the pa

chapter 38

Chapter 38: I blinked. It was one thing to refuse the meal. Rejecting my painting, though? My work of art? I even spent hours on those days. drawing, color mixing, and shading. It was audacious, unvarnished, and authentic. And he simply banished it. Alright. I gritted my teeth and muttered, "Okay." Grabbing the painting like a wounded soldier raising their flag, I turned to walk away. "Is that the painting thing you made for Dante?" I turned as I heard a voice behind me as I entered the corridor. Jake. I sighed. Yes, but regrettably, His Majesty didn't Accept it. Jake grinned. "I would." "What?" "I would agree. Tiana and I are returning home today; the renovations are finished. I would be honored to hang it. I gave him a blink. "Really? I started laughing as soon as he nodded. Not much to chuckle at. But a genuine one. "Then it's yours," I responded, presenting it as if it were an offering. I handed the painting to Jake who nodded and smiled slightly before taking it from m

chapter 39

Chapter 39: Kayla's Pov Blackmail ? Tiana, a sex tape? I simply gazed at her. I opened my mouth a little, but nothing came out. Nothing could be put together by my brain. "I don't understand what you're saying," I finally said. "You have to understand, Kayla," she added, her voice quivering. This had to be a joke, right? "The first person I've told this to is you. That man will release everything if news gets out. I beg you, swear to me that you won't tell anything. "I swear," I muttered. It was heavy in my chest. I tried to breathe properly as I sat there, but my thoughts were racing. "What will you do? This is a severe matter. "I know," she blurted out, "if Jake discovers you're cheating. "I'm being cautious because of this. I have a scheme in the works. I simply don't know how things will work out yet. I bent over. "Jake, why don't you simply tell me? He is the owner of a whole security firm. You could get assistance from him and Dante. They have people. They are capable o

chapter 40

Chapter 40: Jake's PovI was shocked that it worked.I knew I had to force Kayla to stay as soon as I saw her enter the house with Tiana. Around this moment, Tiana always vanishes. I anticipated that. All I needed was an excuse to prevent Kayla from going.And good fortune? It had a role to perform.tiana departed. Kayla remained. And I turned the kitchen into my stage.I'm a skilled cook. I always have.In the kitchen, I've always been superior to Dante.However, today? I intentionally burned a pancake to the ground. as I knew she would volunteer to assist. Something like that was too much for her to simply stroll by."How do we start this?" I inquired as she stood next to me, apron in hand, immediately berating me with those piercing eyes."Do you have an extra apron?" she said. "I don't want to ruin my outfit.I gave her one and nodded. On her, it draped loosely. In it, she appeared very little. So gentle. Absolutely flawless.I just looked as she wrapped it behind her back. her t
