For the first time in my life today, I went shopping to get a dress for her. I had been married for 2yrs to Sophy, but even at that time I never went shopping.
I had given her gifts but they had been either what my secretary picked out or something I had seen online and purchased it for her.
I can’t lie but my mind went on a frenzy when I saw her in that dress. I really wanted to rip it off her body and give her a nice rough-hot banging before handing her the dress I spent half of my afternoon picking out for her.
No way was I going to let any one see her in such a provocative dress.
She came out looking more beautiful as she walk out the lobby of the hotel, wearing the dress and shoe I got her.
Her hair was up in a bun and I didn’t like that. Her feminise call out profoundly each time her hair is in a bun, and there was going to be hot-blooded males at the party we would be attending.
So, as she got in the car, I let her hair down before I shut her door and got in the car. But somehow she looked even more seductive than before with her hair down and beautifully messy.
I moved close to her, but she pulled back bringing me back to my senses.
What was I about to do, kiss her? Markian, control yourself, it’s just Livy. I pulled her seatbelt and strapped her in and we started our journey to the city which was a 20mins drive.
It was awkwardly quiet, and I wondered why? She seemed to have been quite chatty and confident back at the hotel, why is she so quiet now? Why wasn’t she talking and laughing as she was doing last night with that man?
I immediately got overwhelmed with rage as I replayed seeing them together, so I stepped on the gas and didn’t glance her way until we got to the Gracía’s home.
It was a beautiful grandiose mansion, not as grand as the Winfrey’s deluxe vacation home in the Bahamas but it’s a worthy adversary.
We got out of the car and headed inside, Livy was keeping her distance which made the servants at the door give us a weird look, so I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closed to me.
She tried to resist, but I told her it was only customary.
Is she ashamed to be seen with me? Or is she just not willing to let her lover see me holding on to her like this? I wondered how that man’s face would be like if he saw me holding her so closely, would they have a huge fight? I hoped and unconsciously smirked.
We joined the party, and just like I was being expected I got swamped by lots of people who I’ve either done business with or maybe wants to do business with me, and within seconds Livy was no longer in my arms.
The emptiness i felt not having her close was strange, but I shook it off. I can’t grow too close to that wench, she’s dangerous and had only been a constant reminder of what I’ve lost and would never get back.
I chatted and made small talks with everyone who had approached me, business talks of course. Anyone who tried to bring up my late wife, I found a way to change the topic.
After awhile, I found Livy by herself having a drink. She must have been very bored because she had her eyes on her phone.
“Care for a dance?” I heard a voice ask her from behind and I froze.
Who is this clown and how dare he ask my date for a dance? Before she could reply, I interrupted taking her hand and kissing the back courteously.
I saw both their eyes light up in surprise, but I didn’t mind the young man as he slipped away quietly.
I stood by her still holding her hand as I took her glass of drink with my other hand and drank from it, I was at least grateful it was a non alcoholic wine.
Every attempt I took to keep this thirst hot-blooded men away from her was futile, and I was starting to get frustrated and agitated.
“You know parties like these are opportunities to make acquaintances and connections. Rather than stand here all alone and boring, why don’t you go talk with other ladies here and share gossips or ideas on how to steal other people’s husbands? I’m sure they would learn a lot from you.” i said sarcastically, as she immediately snatched her hand away from me.
I snickered at her attempt to ignore me and was about to continue, when I perceived a scent I remembered all too well. I turned to see her standing just few inches away.
Felicity wore a red deep-cut v-neck off shoulder long gown laced with a train behind and a very high slit. She was wearing glass heels that matched her diamond neck and earring piece.
She had her makeup done to its fullest with an elaborate cherry red matte lipstick on. She looked like it’s her birthday party and not her husband’s. Trust Felicity to steal the spotlights everytime.
Felicity
He is finally here, I thought in relief, but who was that with him?
She reminds me of the story of the ‘little mermaid’- fresh out of the waters with no clue whatsoever, searching for the prince she saved. She looked so -so basic.
She must be his assistant, but I thought Markian doesn’t like female assistants? I tried to walk up to him, but it seemed word had gone out that he would be at this party, so these favor-thirsty gnomes beat me to him.
I didn’t want to interrupt, I did promise he could probably meet potential investors afterall.
Having exchanged greetings with everyone, and my husband having retired to his chambers, I was bored so I focused my attention on the ‘little mermaid’.
She looks so frail and weak, Markian hates weakness which made me wonder even more, why her?
She had her eyes on him the whole time, but when he looks at her direction, she quickly avert her eyes.
I scoffed, she must be in love with him. I didn’t care about her hopeless romantics, but for some reason I felt threatened when I saw Markian staring back at her.
He quickly walked towards her, taking her hand and kissing it the moment he saw someone trying to approach her.
I was stunned, baffled, and curious now to find out who she really was.
He said something to her that made her take back her hand from his while he snickered, and that didn’t seem right at all.
I walked up to them but didn’t say anything, and like back in the days, he sensed me and turned to find me.
“I’m so glad you made it, Marley” I said joyfully while hugging him.
I don’t care if people see, I just wanted to make a point to ‘little Mermaid’ here that I had my eyes on Markian first, unless she wanted to share.
I held him so passionately while I attempted to whisper in his ears but it came out edible enough for her to hear.
“For a moment there, I thought I might have come on a bit too strong with the passionate kiss we shared yesterday.” I cooed.
If looks could kill, I would have died a while ago from her stares. I sensed something was off about her, and I was right.
Her sudden change in demeanor the moment I hugged Markian was scary, making me wonder exactly what kind of a person she was. At first she looked so frail and powerless, but now she was staring at me like a wounded animal ready to strike her hunter.
Markian just stood there frozen by my public confession and tried to look behind his shoulder towards her, but I quickly averted his eyes back to me.
Now, he wasn’t happy with that and gave me a warning look, but I ignored it anyway clinging unto his arms like we were back in high school.
We turned to face her, and to my surprise those killer looks had disappeared completely and she was back to looking plain and frail again, making me wonder whether I imagined it. One thing was certain, she could win an Oscar if she ever goes into acting.
“And… who is she supposed to be, Markky? Your assistant or what?” I asked rather rudely. I didn’t care, but take it from me, I’m even being nicer than my usual self, especially to a rival.
“Hmm… something like that, Olivia this is Felicity. She and I have been friends for a long time now before she decided she wanted to get married. Which reminds me, where is your husband? Isn’t this his party?” He asked right in her presence affirming to her and for anyone who had doubts that I’m actually a married woman.
Is it me or could it be that he is actually falling for this lowly creature? He even tried to cover up our meeting the other day, and pretending that the kiss never happened by affirming to her that I was in fact married. I just realized, he was wearing matching tie with her, wow.
“C’mon Markian, it’s not like we were just normal friends. If I remembered correctly, we were mad about each other and you begged me not to get married back then, but that aside. Why don’t you come with me so I can take good care of you, I did promise to show you to some investors right?” I inquired, touching and caressing him slowly with every chance I got, all while stealing glance at ‘little mermaid’.
He agreed to go with me in an instant, making me feel victorious.
“I’ll have to steal him for a while, hope you don’t mind? You can make yourself comfortable, but be careful not to break anything ok?” I requested proudly.
She just gave a weak smile as she nodded and turned her back towards us. Humph, she needs more practice with her attitude but, I’m sure I can show her her place in no time.
