chapter 3

“This is what I have been longing for a long time." She breathes slowly.

“I've always wanted a man to sweat for me. For a long time, I haven't gotten that feeling. You made me feel beyond what I imagined and longed for." This was one of the happiest days of her life.

“I haven't given my all today though, I'm glad I could please you the way you wanted." He caresses her hair. Never thought a woman in her forties could also taste that sweet. It was a new experience for him and he liked it.

“The next time we meet, I want you to give me your all. If you please me, I will give you what you want. Anything." She says, the thought of what he might do next made her excited even more.

“ No need to give me what I want, just what's on the agreement. I enjoy this too remember?" He smirks as he kisses her lips.

“Your lips taste like cherry." She says between the kiss. “I want more Caleb. Give me more now." She demands.

“Gladly." He says as he goes down to pleasure what's between her bones.

****************************

*Next morning*

“The stock price is rising. I guess we should focus more on modernizing the products since high technology is what makes people love our products." Jackson explains more as he gives Rachael a weekly report.

Currently inside her office without even knocking someone suddenly enters. The one and only mother-in-law she has, Melissa. Who else would want to start Rachel this early in the morning.?

“Jackson please leave." She politely asks him and he does so. Back to Melisa.

“Good morning, mother." She smiles. Obviously faking it.

“I haven't heard that word coming out of your mouth for a long time." She laughs.

“You look extremely happy today, which is why I wonder why you would wanna pester me so early in the morning." Rachel.

“What do you think it is? " Melisa.

Rachel thinks for a moment.

“One: You want to share the good news with me because they are not so good for me. Two: You just can't complete your happiness without bothering me. So now tell me which one is it?" She smiles.

“You know me quite well. You've kept your enemy close. The question is, will you be able to defeat her?" Melissa's smile suddenly goes in vain.

“Why do I need to fight the enemies when they are already defeated?"

“Do you really think so Rachel?"

“Yes, I am. I won my enemy in a way that not even she knows I did. My priorities and hers are different, and that's where she doesn't get it straight. Now please leave, I've got work to do."

“You think you have everything, but I will show you what you don't have." She silently speaks inside.

“What are you staring at?" Rachel asks. Without any other words, Melissa steps out of the office. These days, it's not even surprising what the old lady does. Rachel's used to it already. It's like morning breakfast.

Late at night, she calls it a day. Time to meet nightmares living in her house. Again she is used to it and it's part of her.

Reaching home, everyone is asleep. She usually doesn't need any maid to welcome her home. She just silently gets in.

She gets inside her room and goes straight to the bathroom without even realizing someone was watching her. The moment she gets out of it is when she sees a person sitting opposite the bathroom. Her heart almost skips a beat. When did he get here? Why did he come home today?

“Surprised to see me? " He smirks.

“David?"

“ How are you not so happy to see your husband? What? Did you have an affair? Is there someone else in this room?"

“ I am not your wife you son of a bitch!" Her hands start shaking.

“ Really?! ". He gets off the couch and slowly steps closer to her. Suddenly Rachel feels a sharp pain in her chick, almost falling.

" Does that make you straight?" He forcefully makes her look at him, his hands strongly holding her arms.

“ David you're hurting me!"

“ And I will keep doing so until you get to accept that you are my wife!"

“ My husband was your brother. Even if you hurt me like this, the truth will never change. "

Suddenly a bottle of wine is thrown on the floor.

“ That bastard took everything from me. He is dead! Why do you let him win all the time? Huh!" He shouts

“ You were a loser since the day you were born. He had everything. Remember what happened when you touched the company? Everything vanished...."

“ Don't say that you moron... Don't finish what you're about to say..."

“ Your brother ... Brought ... Everything... Back. Even what you're wearing right now is all thanks to him... And the reason why I am torelating everything is because I don't want what he achieved to be lost again.. "

“Enough is enough..." Slap!

“What did I tell you about mentioning his name huh?!" Slap and a kick on her stomach.

“You have no idea how that mistress'  son ruined my life! " The harassment continues until she completely faints, her body covered in red.

“Rachel..." He silently calls.

“Wake up Rachel?" His hands start shaking.

“ What have I done?" He starts crying.

“ Rachel I'm sorry..." He whispers but no response. How does he get out with her?  What if he does? His questions go unanswered.

“Better take her to the hospital, she's still breathing." He carries her bridal style to his car. He asks the watchmen to not say a word. More like he threatens them.

Reaching the hospital the doctors quickly attend to her, the problem arises when they ask David what happened to her. The obvious fact to everyone is Rachel was beaten up.

Just like what every rich man would do, he paid the doctors to lie on the report and since the damage was not that bad, it only means she will wake up really soon.

TWO WEEKS LATER

"Welcome home ma'am." The maids say as she gets home from the hospital.

“I am so happy my wife is here, the house is so boring without her," David says. Maids stay quiet. That's how he is, Making imagination of a fake life. The life that doesn't even exist. No one really knows if it is a disorder or mental illness.

Melisa looks away when she sees Rachel when she's coming downstairs.

“Look who's mother-in-law is here. Mother!" He happily goes to his mother and kisses her chick, something Melisa didn't want.

“Is dinner ready?" He asks.

“Am not hungry," Rachel says

“Are you going to eat it or what?" He silently threatens.

“I said I am not hungry!" She says it again.

”Are you going to eat dinner or not?" He forcefully holds her hand. One of the places he mercilessly hurt.

“Everyone is watching. Are you gonna hurt me in front of them too?" She asks. Looking around, the maids pretend to look elsewhere. Melissa smiles a bit as she pretends to talk to one of the maids.

“I will head to my room. I don't want anyone to disturb me. " Then off she goes.

In less than five minutes, Melisa without even knocking enters Rachel's room, finding Rachel on her bed.

“I thought I said I don't need disturbance." She rolls her eyes.

“I didn't t come here to disturb you. I am just here to remind you. My son can do anything, don't provoke him and be a good wife. That's if you want fewer bruises and scars. " She smirks.

“If you were a man, I guess you'd be quite like him. I'm glad my real husband was a son of a mistress, or else he would have been like your son." She says emotionlessly.

“Mention him again and you will get what you deserve." Her blood starts heating up.

“He is that one truth that you all hate. No matter what you do to me, I will never get tired of mentioning his name. Have a good night. Please leave the room." She covers herself with a blanket. " Melisa silently curses as she exits the room.

A FEW HOURS LATER

Rachel opens her eyes the moment David opens the door. Another fight is about to begin, she thought.

“My dear wife are you asleep?"

She doesn't say a thing. He suddenly unwraps her blanket.

“Stop it, David.!" She warns.

“Rachel, why do you always have to make you call you twice.?"

“And how many times do I have to tell you I am not your wife!" She says.

“Really?" He smirks.

Suddenly he hovers over her and starts kissing every part of her face.

“Stop it David!" She struggles to free herself from him, but with the mood, he is currently in he's too strong.

“David... Let me Go.." she slaps him hard. David looks at her unbelievably. She just slapped him.

“I said stop it!" She gets off the bed.

“Where are you going? Huh! " He follows her behind. She hurries to the bathroom and tries to lock the door but David's hand finds a way in, a good chance for her to take a hot water pipe and expose hot water to his hand.

“Dang it you woman!" He curses as he takes back his hand.

“Just wait and see, I will bring you back to the hospital!"

Rachel doesn't say a thing she only goes to the bathtub and sleeps in there. The next time she opens her eyes, it's morning already.

She takes a shower and brushes her teeth. Time to get off the bathroom and face the beast. She is used to him anyway, so she carelessly opens the door. Lucky for her, David is still asleep, or that's what she thought.

“Good morning my love." He says with a smiling face. Rachel says nothing.

“Did I do something wrong? Why aren't you answering me?" He asks as he gets up from the bed. The imagination of a happy family is back.

“You should go for an actor, you suit the position." She takes her clothes and jelly and goes to the room that's next to the one she was in.

“You are my wife. Why do you have to go to other rooms?"

Rachel doesn't say a thing and leaves the room.

After she's done, she doesn't bother saying goodbye to anyone and just goes to her office. As she is in the car, she receives a text message from Dave that he will go on a trip and he won't be back for about a month. Relief is what everyone would feel at the moment.

“Frank. I'll be going home on my own after work."

“Yes ma'am."

******************

"You have reached your destination." The voice from the car tells her.

“This is one of the best clubs in town." She says to herself.

“I guess I need this." She gets off the car.

A wig that covers her face together with sunglasses and a stylish mask would help her go unnoticed.

“Welcome, ma'am. " One of the waiters says.

“Which place would you like to go? "

“I didn't know clubs had divisions. Anyway, I want to be in a darker place with fewer people. " She smirks.

“On it ma'am."

The waiter leads him to a room with fewer people and more Romantic. Many seem to be in pairs, people who are alone are comfortable one can say.

“Would you like something? A drink or food? "

“I just want prince vodka. " She says.

“On it ma'am."

She sits in the corner of the big room, thinking nobody would find her there. She takes off her wig and glasses. She could barely live the moment in peace because of them.

“So we meet again." Someone says from behind."

She looks at him and recognizes his face.

“Caleb?! You work here?"

“You seem exhausted." He says. She doesn't say a thing.

“Let me take you somewhere." He gives her a hand.

They go to the last floor of the building, where his room is. “Do you mind getting inside?"

“Why do want me in there?"

“So I could help you rest?" Sounds more like a question.  For the first time, she didn't think much and just got inside.

“Is this where you live?" She asks. He nods.

“ When I work here this room is mine."

“What work do you do here?"

“You really wanna know?" He asks as he steps closer to her.

“Would I ask if I didn't want to know?"

“Well..." He is now an inch apart from her.

“This is my work." He suddenly locks his lips on her, soft and tender lips yet capable of digging deeper into her tongue. A similar type of kiss she experienced two years ago, the kind of kiss she wanted for a long time.

Slowly he leads her to the bed, where the romance gets more heated up. His hands caress her clit on a pant, about to start taking it off so he can work his magic on it  suddenly he hears

”That's enough."
