CHAPTER 20

What the hell just happened?

I sat in the swivel chair while dumbfounded and repeatedly thought about the scenes that had happened earlier. I almost had a headache thinking about what I should do.

Even though I wanted to follow Andrei, I did not because I did not know what to say or do.

I understood his point that he is jealous to my friend Rozz. But it’s unfair to make me stay away from him. We've been friends for years; I couldn't imagine suddenly cutting off our relationship.

"Hmmmm," I heard Ayesha moan before slowly opening her eyes.

She's been asleep for two hours; it is amazing that despite the troubles that happened earlier, she was able to fall asleep so fast.

Immediately, her forehead furrowed. "What happened?" she simply asked, then adjusted herself.

I rolled my eyes. "Fuck you, Ayesha!" I hissed.

I heard her laugh. "Oh now I remember," she said.

"You caused the commotion bitch," I stuck out my tongue, then leaned back in my chair.

She shrugged before standing up and approaching my seat.

"I did nothing wrong?" she said.

Yeah, there was nothing wrong with what she did.

I just let out a deep breath.

"No stress on the baby. Just go home and fix things with your husband," she mumbled while patting my shoulder and walked away.

I don't even know what to do. How do I fix it?

I heard my phone ring, so I picked it up and looked at it.

Text from Unregistered Number:

It's me Rozz. Sorry for what happened earlier Cass.

Guilt invaded my emotions. I texted:

I have to apologize Rozz. You didn't do anything, you were the one who was hurt. I’m really sorry. I'll make it up to you next time.

I replied before arranging my belongings. I decided to turn off early because I was feeling dizzy. I do not want to put my children at risk, prevention is better than cure.

Since Andrei always picked me up, I never brought my car. So since I was leaving early, I had no choice but to take a taxi.

I hailed a taxi when I left work and I was driven to the condo.

Andrei was not there when I arrived. I was expecting that because he typically got off at five o'clock. I looked at the wall clock and noticed there were two more hours before he came home.

I went to our room and laid down. I did nothing that was tiring, but I felt like I was running out of energy.

I felt sad every time I remembered the pain on Andrei's face earlier. I want to make him happy and make him feel better, but how can I do that?

Instead of thinking about it, I decided to go to sleep, for fear that it might affect my children.

I woke up to the noise of my phone. I slowly got up and took it off of the side table of our bed.

Hubby Calling...

I immediately answered the call when I read the registered name.

"Hello?" I answered. It was obvious in my voice that I had just fallen asleep.

"Where are you?!"

I winced at his tough English.

"Did you just shout at me?" I asked annoyed.

I heard his deep breathing on the other line before he spoke again.

"Where are you? You're not here in your office. Your secretary said you left early." He said.

"I'm here in the cond—"

"What? Are you and your friend together? Are you happily bonding, without even texting me?" He suddenly interrupted.

Annoyance spread throughout my body. "What the fuck are you talking about?! Can't you just hear me first before talking nonsense?!" I couldn't help but scream.

I immediately felt the stiffness of my belly, so I tried to calm down even though it was contrary to how I felt.

He was silent on the other line.

I sighed angrily before looking sharply at my phone as if I could see him there. "For your information, I'm here in the condo. I didn't text you because rest was my first thought when I came home, because I feel so bad. Now, if you don't believe me then take care," I uttered and ended the call.

I put it back on the table and laid down again. I covered myself with a blanket, and my tears began to flow.

What kind of woman does he think of me? And what if Rozz was with me? He was just my friend; Andrei is the one I love.

I heard my phone ring again, but I wasted no time.

I just cried and cried until I didn't realize I had fallen asleep.

I woke up to a caress on my face. I slowly opened my eyes.

His puffy face exposed my eyes. There was a trace of remorse in his eyes as he continued to caress my cheek.

"I'm sorry. I made you cry again," he mumbled.

It was as if my heart was being caressed. My previous resentment quickly disappeared. I slowly got up, he quickly supported me as if I was too scared to break.

I let out a deep sigh before looking at him. He still looked like that, the sadness, remorse and fear in his eyes combined.

"I understand that you are jealous. I like feeling like you treasure me Andrei," I started then held his hand. "But Rozz is just a friend of mine. I think of him that way, and that will not change. Always remember that you are my husband Andrei. You are the one I love." I added.

"So please, don't think of me that. Do you think of me that way?" I asked.

He quickly shook his head and squeezed my hand holding him.

"I'm sorry if that's how you felt. I didn't mean it. I was just scared, I was just scared that I would lose you." He said sincerely.

I smiled for a moment and caressed his face with one hand.

"We are having our baby Andrei. I am not only married to you, but also we will have children. Do you think I still have a reason to want to get rid of you?" I said.

"I'm sorry baby. I just really can't bear to see you hugged by others, worse is kissed..." He said, then hugged me.

Andrei and his possessiveness.

"Okay, as long as I can, I will avoid physical contact with him if that will ease your mind. But please, don't ask me to cut ties with him. I don't want to be unfair. I hope you understand."

He nodded quickly while still hugging me.

"Am I forgiven?" he asked before slowly letting go of me and looking at me.

I smiled at him. "I love you," I answered.

Her eyes immediately widened as if it had erased all her fears.

"I love you too," he said, then kissed me on the forehead.

"Why are you so nice wife? You should punish a jerk like me."

I laughed softly and pinched his nose.

"Stop treating me like I'm an angel in disguise. I'm a bitch for goodness sake. And yeah, I'll punish you if that's what you want." I said, then smiled foolishly.

"Should I be scared?" he asked, then hugged me again. He pressed his face against my neck as he always did.

"It depends. If I do it, you will be really scared, because you will sleep outside the room." I threatened him.

I felt his stiffness, then he looked at me in disbelief.

"Please tell me you're joking. I can't sleep without you or our babies." He sighed and then put his hand on my blouse to my stomach.

"Then do my punishment properly then," I laughed.

"What is it?" he asked frowning.

I smiled then kissed him on the lips. Slowly and occasionally biting. He immediately responded to my kisses. His hand supported my back while the other was on my neck.

"Make love with me until I get tired," I whispered after I separated our kiss.

I could see the radiance in his eyes. "Hell yeah," he said and kissed me again.

He slowly laid me down as his kiss dropped to my neck.

I closed my eyes. "Andrei," I tenderly called him.

"The doctor was right. Your sex hormones are kinda active." He whispered as he removed the button blouse.

Even if I'm not pregnant, I will always wish for you.

I secretly laughed in my mind. Lately I have become perv.

"Ahhh," I moaned as he lowered his hold on my pencil skirt and inserted his hand under it.

Without a warning, his finger dove in. I clung to his neck at the same time as I muttered softly as he began to pull it out. I opened my thighs as his finger came out faster and faster.

"Ohh... Ahh..." I moaned when he added one more finger; at the same time he sucked on my neck. I no longer knew how naked I was. My grip on him tightened even more when I felt like I was about to let go.

"Fuck," he cursed and quickly dropped to the middle of my thigh. One flick of his tongue and I was finally released.

"Oh, Andrei," I muttered softly as my thigh trembled. He continued to suck my juice.

A few seconds later he kissed my jewel up my stomach until he reached my lips again.

I heard the sound of his zipper signaling that it was releasing the weapon he was hiding.

"If this is my punishment, hell! I am very willing to pay," he said and kissed me again while entering his shaft.
