Chapter 47

Cayden surveyed the room with astonishment gleaming in his eyes. The drawers and wardrobe were left open and empty. None of her stuff was here. Is…is Bianca gone?! Oh! He never thought she'd go tonight though.

Elodre was already asleep when he got into their room. Tossing his briefcase on the bed, he sat to look at her. She was in her nightgown and he couldn't help but notice

the bruises on her body. After studying her for a while, he got up to take off his shirt.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING…

**

The morning sun ray was sipping in through the window and Elodre felt a burning sensation on her face. Wincing, her eyes fluttered open. Yawning, her whole body was aching while she was stretching on the bed. She turned her head to look around but Cayden wasn't in. He'd left for work.

The pain relief was effective and had subsided the pain of the lump drastically. She can't believe her husband got some pain relief capsules for her…not just that, but he even had to come home to take care of her. That's so weird. She thought. God knows how scared she was while sitting beside him, but Cayden was so unbelievably soothing and patient with her. He fed her?! This is how he used to be. This is how caring he'd been…until Raiden came onto the scene.

She sat up on the bed and fumbled with her black polished nails. It's so depressing that her son came with so much disaster. He is supposed to be a bundle of joy, rather it turns out the other way round. Tears began to tickle her eyes and in a short while they spilled down to her hands. The tears were so warm. She sniffled and lifted her glittery gray eyes. Her sights were blurred.

She just couldn't articulate why Cayden's reaction yesterday was confusing to her. The sudden love he bestowed upon her was….she just hoped it would last. She wished things would return to normal again.

She blinked and profuse tears rolled freely down her cheeks. Her whole body was twitching from grief as she was weeping.

After having a bath, she'd put on her hoodie and pants. Sitting on the bed, she was combing her hair when she heard a knock on the door. "Jasmine?" She said,

"Yes, ma'am,"

Elodre spilled her stringy hair and it framed her face. "Come in."

The door creaked open and Jasmine emerged with a tray of food in her hands. She went to drop the tray on the little glass table that was a few distances away from the bed.

"Thanks," Elodre said as she walked over to sit on the sofa. She noticed the thick piece of clothes wrapped around Jasmine's upper arm.

Jasmine was about to open the door…

"Hey, Jasmine?" Elodre called.

"Yes, ma'am," She turned to Elodre.

"What's wrong with your arm?" Elodre asked.

"Ma'am," Jasmine said. "I… I…just sustained an injury…while working…"

"Oh," Elodre said.

"But I'm fine, ma'am," Jasmine assured her. "I'm doing just great!" She smiled.

Jigyasa's eyes fluttered open and she yawned, stretching. Turning on the bed, she gasped in astonishment upon seeing Weston on the bed. He was still asleep. Wasn't he going to work today?! She wondered.

Facing upward, his left arm curved on his forehead while the other arm was crossed over his belly. The blanket had covered up to his belly, revealing his broad chest and Jigyasa couldn't help but gaze at him with awe. He is so big and hot. Jeez! His arms were mightily muscular. The curves were perfect and stunning.

A smile pulled her lips. "Weston?" She said quietly. "Weston??" But he didn't respond.

She leaned close to him and lay her head on his chest.

"Oh, my love," His soft voice vibrated her eardrums as he dropped his left arm, covering her small body, caressing her body. She wasn't in any clothes. "You awake."

Still on his chest, she looked up at him with a smile. "Good morning!"

He took away his air pod from his ears and said, "Sorry?"

"Thought you were still asleep," She said. "Didn't realize you had your air pod in your ears."

"I've been awake, diamond," He was softly brushing her arm with his big hand. "Just listening to music. Did you say something to me?"

"Yeah, I did," She said. "I was surprised to see you at home…I called to know if you were still asleep."

"Oh," He said. "I didn't hear you, diamond. I'm sorry about that, okay?"

"It's okay," She said. "Why are you not at work today?"

"Can't leave you all alone after treating you so harshly and leaving for work, diamond." Wholesomeness was glowing in his ice-blue eyes and his voice was so soft.

"Weston,"

"My love, I can't just leave with myself after coming home to you crying because of me…after hurting you, baby." He said. His gaze was fixed on her. "It's so horrible."

"But I'm fine now, Weston," She touched his face. "I promise. I'm okay."

"Does your body still hurt?" He asked, gazing down at her.

"Nope," She said. "Not anymore. I'm fine now."

"Are you sure?" He's sat up assessing her closely. "Oh, my baby." He was kissing her neck and she was twisting under his arm. "You're so tiny, my love." He was smiling.

"That's because you're huge," She frowned and he laughed. "Stop calling me tiny."

"Tiny princess," He poked fun at her.

"And you're the beast," She said.

"Of course, I am," He said huskily, seizing her lips in his. "I love you, diamond."

A slight feel of his juicy lips on hers was capable of igniting her orgasm…and that's what had just happened. She could feel her organ throbbing for his erection. Wrapping her arm around his neck, she was kissing him hungrily. They'd both seized each other's tongues, sucking hard on them, gulping down their fluids.

With his powerful arms tightly wrapped around her, he positioned her twisting body under him, owning her lips.

"Weston," She mumbled under his lips. "I need you…please."

…and
