Chapter 19 Talk of the Heart
Nalzen
I wake up feeling fresh and relaxed especially if I sleep at Aaron’s arm. Same as usual, he is cooking our food. I guess it’s noon now. We wake up late. Because of our heated romance yesterday night, we get tired. And blush appears all over my face. But it’s not the right time to think for pleasure. It’s time to be serious.
This is now or never! I need to talk to Aaron that Nathan is going home and clarify our relationship status.
We watch television after we eat our breakfast. And this is it! We need to talk.
“Can we talk?” I ask him.
He looks at me curiously.
“Sure, what’s our topic?” He asks.
I wanted to ask first about his real identity.
“So, you are not a real strip dancer from the Bird’s Eye Club?” I started.
“Nope, It’s just Arthur who asks me a favor. The real strip dancer didn’t come back at all and you happen to need the husband for rent immediately. There’s no other boy as of the moment except me. Come to think of it. Maybe it’s Destiny that we’ve met.” He is reminiscing the past, happiness is written all over his face.
I’m glad that I met him too. He’s a blessing to me. My knight in shining armor and shield.
“So that’s what happened, I’m glad that I met you too. But, about our company, I think I cannot accept the ownership. You’re the one who invested in it. So, it’s yours now.” I said.
“What do you mean? You are my wife and you have all the rights to own it.” He answered laughing.
Aaron thought that I’m still joking but this time. I wanted to be true.
“Aaron, I’m serious. Let’s file an annulment.” I said without looking at him. I’m afraid for him to see my sad face and the tears that are about to fall.
Aaron’s happy face turns serious.
“What are you talking about? I will never file an annulment to our marriage” He said and is about to get irritated.
And I’m happy that he will never break our marriage. But how about the people around us?
“It is the right decision, And about our contract. I already canceled it. You are not my husband for rent anymore.” I said but my heart was pierced by a thousand needles.
“I don’t care about that! I will never sign the annulment.” There’s finality in his voice.
“But what about Andrea?” I ask challenging him. Watching carefully his facial expression.
And I’m not wrong. His face immediately turns confused. He still loves her!
And it hurts like hell.
“I don’t know! But one thing I know is that I will never gonna break our marriage.” He confidently answered.
“You are kidding me, Aaron. You know that Andrea is your fiance then you are already legally married to me. And I’m sorry for that. That’s why I wanted to correct the mistake that Nica had made. I want you to be free. And be happy as well.” I explained but my tears fall, no matter how I control them.
“You want me to be happy and you are crying? Let me think first and we will talk later. As of now, I don’t want an annulment.”
I don’t understand him! It should be settled today. Not the other time again.
“No, we should finish talking. What’s our relationship status? Can you answer that?” I ask him.
He sighed in frustration.
“I don’t know! All I know is that I’m happy to be with you. I’m happy to cook for you. I felt sad when you cry. And I don’t want to see others will hurt you. You’re my happiness. And I think I’m falling in love with you.” He said with emotions.
And I can see that he is telling the truth and it touches my heart. I think I’m in love with him too. But what about them? Nathan and Andrea…
“Thank you, but let’s talk about reality. Do you love Andrea?” I ask. I’m afraid to hear his answer but I need to face it.
He paused for a moment and keep quiet. There’s an awkward silence between us.
And I break that silence. I want him to be true and honest.
“I will ask you again. Do you love Andrea?” I felt like crying but I need to be strong.
He takes a deep sigh and finally answers.
“Yes.” He said looking down at the floor.
And I think a nuclear bomb landed on me. And broke my heart into tiny pieces. But I still love Nathan too and I love him also.
How could it be? I’m also confused like him but we need to do what is right.
“Okay, I love Nathan too and he is coming back. I guess Nica told him she loves creating chaos and problems that will make me suffer.” I told him.
And he looks at me angrily.
“You will go to him? I’m your husband I will never let you do that!” He shouted.
And I’m getting angry too.
“You will not allow? Then let us have an annulment. How can you marry Andrea if we don’t break our marriage?” I shouted at him.
“That’s my problem. As of now, you are my wife. And I’m not in favor of annulment.” When Aaron is serious he looks dominant and powerful. And I’m afraid of him.
I backward a little.
“But still, we need to file an annulment and when Nathan comes back I will not live in here. And about our company. I cannot take it. It’s yours already.” I told him that my decision is final.
Aaron looks at me seriously.
“Is that how excited you are to be with Nathan? I will not sign the annulment no matter what! And about your company, It’s yours! That’s my gift to you. And you need to work your as* to develop and improve it. So that people will not look down on you anymore!” He shouted at me.
And I felt a nagging feeling inside of my heart as if someone pinches it. It was the first time I saw him angry. And my bad, that he is angry at me.
“Okay don’t worry I will work starting tomorrow if that makes you happy and satisfied. But, I will still file the annulment and talk to Nathan when he arrives.” And I’m serious regarding my decision too.
“Whatever! Do what you like to do but you will never leave this house.” And he left me without turning back.
I just watch him walking out the door. He didn’t even bother to look at me.
My tears fall and I cry.
I cry and cry until I ran out of tears.
I’m alone in this big palace-like mansion.
And Aaron didn’t come back at all. I’m worried about him. I texted him but no reply.
I call him but his phone is cannot be reached.
Just where the hell he is?
I scroll my phone book and saw Arthur’s phone number.
I dialed and thankfully he answered.
“Yes Miss Nalzen, What can I do for you?”He asks politely.
“Did you see Aaron?” I hope that he is there.
He didn’t answer.
“Are you still there? Please tell me the truth as I’m worried about him.” I beg.
Arthur chuckled.
“Maybe something happened between the two of you? He is wasted in here and drunk too much wine.” He said and sighed.
Then I heard in the background. The loud laughter of girls.
Then my blood boils.
Am I jealous?
“Where is he?” I ask and my hands are already shaking
” In here at the Bird’s Eye Club.” He answered.
And I didn’t bother to reply and quickly went outside.
What’s gotten into him for drinking so much. And he’s with a bunch of young girls!
*************************
Bird’s Eye Club
In just 15 minutes, I arrive at the club.
And Arthur is there standing.
“You’re fast.” He said looking amused.
“Where is he?” I ask.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“At the VIP Room.” He said.
And my blood boils again.
“I thought that it’s for Women only? Why men too?” I ask irritated.
“Ah, you mean about the VIP? Men can also request for women in here and have fun in the VIP room. ” He answered laughing.
And I’m not happy at all!
I immediately open the door. And there’s Aaron with a bunch of young girls surrounding him.
There are 6 girls? He looks happy enjoying the touch of them.
“Who are you? Are you one of the rented girls?” The red-colored hair girl asks me.
What?!
“Do I look like one of you?” I answered fiercely.
“And who are you? Acting like a mad wife haha.” Then she laughs.
Crazy girl!
I didn’t answer her and walked towards Aaron.
“Aaron, wake up. Let’s go home.” I touch his face and he smells bad.
“Hey, you’re his girlfriend? He rented us overnight. You cannot get him.” The small girl interrupted.
And I’m pissed off!
“If I were you, you will all back off!” I shouted.
“You crazy? You’re alone and we are many. What do you think will happen?” She said boastfully.
“I will all break your face! That what will be going to happen.” I answered angrily.
Then Aaron woke up.
“Wifey?” He asks wiping his face.
Wifey? The girls ask in chorus.
I just raised my eyebrow, shooting deadly looks at them.
And Aaron can feel that I’m getting angry.
“Thank you, girls. That’s all for now. You ask your bonus on Arthur.” Aaron said and the girls finally get out. Leaving the two of us.
“So, this is how you solve your problem? Drinking with the young girls and enjoying while touching them?” I ask but Aaron just laughs at me.
“Are you jealous wifey?”Then he pulled me closer to him.
“Get off! I’m still angry.” I open a new bottle of wine and drink it straight into my mouth.
“Take it slowly. Let’s go home.” Aaron gets the bottle but I hold it with my dear life.
“No, let’s drink. Let’s enjoy and drink.” Then I drink again.
And I just can’t believe it that I emptied two bottles of wine.
And now, I felt that the world around me is turning.
“I told you not to drink.” Aaron scolded me and sealed my mouth with a kiss.
And I’m burning right now as I felt hot because of the wine.
I kiss him back and he puts away all the wine bottles and carries me over to the table.
And we shared a heated kiss full of passion and longing. I cannot be angry at him for a long time. My body misses him badly. And it’s a dangerous sign.
He parted my legs. Timing that I wear a skirt.
And caress my inner thigh making me wet from the inside.
“Wait… We must go home.”It’s very shameful if someone comes and witnesses what we are doing!
“Shhhh… The VIP room is ours and it’s soundproof wifey. No matter how you make some noise or moan… Nobody will hear you.”
Then he pulled down my underwear…
