“Did you not first book a restaurant with your lover who doesn’t need to sit in a wheelchair and act crippled? And then you abandoned me to attend a birthday banquet? Honey, this is your entire fault. How could a wife not know that her husband has needs”, Rex said with a smile and raised brow.
“Rex Anderson, you’re too petty”
“Me petty? You should have seen the performance we had in the room. What a pleasant night”, Rex continued shamelessly. “We did it a lot of times that we even lost count”. He stood on his feet walking towards Ariel, and stood in front of her ruffing his hair with his finger and sighed “I could have asked her to stay this night so we could continue from where we stopped. What did you think?”. He paused then continued “Maybe I should call her back.” Ariel stood there boiling with anger with nothing to say to the man, just when she thought the man was done he held her hands to the back and kissed her hard. “It tastes good awwn, let me continue where I stopped with her.”
“You shameless old man, you’re disgusting, how dare you kiss me with that lip.”
Ariel was so angry that she walked straight out of the bedroom with a bang of the door; she walked down to the living room, pacing up and down while venting her anger.
“Rex Anderson, you’re a bastard”
She was so mad that Rex could bring another woman to their home to do such a heinous thing and he still wanted to come and do it with her.
“Devil Anderson, you are a disgusting p*g” she couldn’t help but feel disgusted at what Rex did.
She kept pacing up and down, sulking without knowing she had been doing that for over an hour.
Rex stood on the second floor terrace watching her cursing him. “Are you not going to sleep?”
“Never will I sleep in the same bed with you, shameless old man.”
Rex smiled, “It’s okay with me, you are not needed this night anyway. Do as it pleases you. Good night honey” After saying that, he went back to their room.
What! Did the man just tell her he didn’t need her?
She grumbles in anger. Fine, she will just crash on the sofa in the living room. Who knows if the man has had fun with his women in all the room in the villa, she doesn’t want her body to touch where theirs had touched”
She was already tired out because of today’s activity; she lay on the sofa and soon drifted off to sleep.
She dreamed of Rex bringing her roses. He was a loving and sweet husband. In the dream, his looks were like those of an angel.
A smile crept out of her sleeping face. What a sweet dream.
Meanwhile, Rex was still waiting for her to calm down, but it was almost 1am and she was nowhere to be seen.
“Stubborn brat”
He went out to the living room to see Ariel lying on the sofa asleep, seeing her sleep sweetly like she owns the whole world, with a smile on her face. He stood by and watched her for some minutes; he picked her up and returned to their bedroom. He placed her gently on the bed and decided to leave so she could rest.
Just as he turned to leave, Ariel held his hand, murmuring.
“I love you Rex”
Hearing these words, Rex wasn’t surprised, he would have had a bright and broad smile on his face if he wasn’t neck deep in revenge.
“I told you not to fall in love with me, yet you did”. He touched her face and felt traces of make-up. He got up and went to the bathroom.
Ariel turned over holding him, “Devil Anderson” Rex took the towel, wet it with the makeup removal and wiped her face.
“Rex, I love you” Ariel wouldn’t stop murmuring how much she loved Rex in her sleep.
“You really fell in love with me without knowing.”
Who knows she wouldn’t just stop but continued like she heard him?
“Yes! I know you don’t love me and you will never, since you love someone else” she would have slapped herself hard if she could hear herself.
“I love you”
He frowned as he looked into her sleeping face. “Why did you have to be Timothy Ann’s daughter? You could have just been your mother’s child.”
“Rex, my body is aching”
Rex, who was about to drop the towel, paused “Your body, where are you aching, he asked anxiously before he remembered she was only sleep talking. He picked up his phone and called Pius, who was enjoying his good night’s sleep with one of his many girlfriends by his side.
“I will give you just five minutes to get me an ointment for pain”
“Rex, what’s wrong with you. Are your legs aching again?” Pius asked anxiously as he rushed out.
“Did your wife hit you for cheating?” he asked as the screech of his break could be heard in the background.
“Five minutes”, Rex said and hung up.
Without wasting so much time, Pius arrives and delivers the medicine. “What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m fine, it’s Ariel. She said her body was aching. I don’t know how that happened”, Rex said anxiously as he carefully applied the medicine.
Pius couldn’t help but notice how anxious and how Rex was carefully applying the ointment.
Once they stepped outside, he didn’t hesitate but asked “Rex, have you suddenly had a soft spot for her? I mean, did you love her?”
Rex glared at Pius.
“Pius, first you’ve been disrespecting me lately and you also tend to talk too much. Stop talking nonsense. How could I love her? She’s Timothy Ann’s daughter”
Pius knew that he shouldn’t have spoken but he needed to remind him of his revenge. Falling in love with Ariel might ruin things, he just couldn’t understand his boss.
Pius lowered his voice. “Young master, you tease the young madam at will and you seem to have forgotten your plans. I’m confused”
“What are you confused about?” Rex looked at him.
Pius quickly lowered his eyes. “I’m sorry young master.”
“She’s my wife; I made a promise to her mother to take care of her. Respect her”
“I’m sorry young master, please don’t send me to the forest. I promise not to talk too much again”, Pius said as he realized he had misspoken.
“It’s alright, you can leave now.”
He bowed and exited the villa.
