Chapter 48: GOING OUT OF HER LIFE
Read online · About 7 minutesHe arrived at their condo unit full of confusion and anger. How could his wife do this to him? He sat in their living room, his mind clouded with thoughts. He decided to have some work done for the meantime to shift his thoughts away from the possible things his wife is doing behind his back.
When he felt that someone got inside their house, he stood right away to meet her. He looked at her from head to toe and he is wondering why she's not wearing any gown. Instead, she is wearing formal clothes: slacks and a sexy turtleneck shirt paired with a black cardigan.
Wow, how could she change that fast? He wanted to believe that she's a great pretender after all.
"How was work?"
"As usual, I've got many clients to meet. The workloads are getting fuller these days." She said as she walked past him, putting off her cardigan. He's able to get it from her as he follows her to where she's going.
"Where's the food?" Dianne looked at him and he could see disappointment in her eyes. He could hear an impatient sigh coming from her. She looked tired and weary. He wanted to burst out right away. Was she tired flirting a lot of men from that party Priya showed him? Are those activities really included that there were times she couldn't go home as often as he would like her to?
"I'm sorry...I just came home. I haven't prepared anything."
She walked past him and got her cellphone.
"I'll just call someone to deliver food here. I'm starving right now." He was silent for a second because he could see Dianne frowning already. If he will ask about the things Priya told him, they will argue about it for sure. He followed her with his eyes and he could see her getting the TV's remote control.
"I'll watch documentaries first. Are you going to watch with me?" She looked so calm and poised. One thing he liked about her is that, she can manage her anger very well. He looked good even if she's already starving to death.
As soon as Andrew sees her face, he is now in doubt of talking to her and confronting her about the things he discovered. Instead, he just sat with her and hugged her from behind.
"Why? You're extra sweet today." She turned as she looked at his face. He smiled as he planted a kiss on her lips. She closed her eyes as she kissed him back.
"I love you..." He said. Instead of answering, she turned her attention to what she wanted to watch as soon as she turned the TV on. She sighed as she stood up. "Food's ready." She held her cell phone as notification started to pop up.
She rushed to the door as she met the delivery man. Andrew noticed that she's not really into him that made him wonder even more.
She noticed that Dianne ordered a lot of steak and mixed vegetables.
"Wow, I thought you're on a diet?" She frowned as he heard him right away. He couldn't help but chuckle because of her immediate reaction.
"Understand that I have days like this. I haven't eaten rice since breakfast. I want to enjoy myself as I eat this one."
"What? Why haven't you eaten anything since breakfast?"
"I was so busy with my client meetings that I forgot to eat."
Wow, client meetings or flirting with another men? I want to ask her this but I don't want to spoil her mood this time.
"Okay, if that's what you want then I want to support you for it."
He also ate with her. Surprisingly, the food is undeniably delicious. He knew the reason why she's eating the food this way. He saw her mouth full of sauce that's dripping from her lips.
"Why?"
He smiled as he held her chin and leaned closer to her face. He kissed her as he cleaned the sauce around her mouth using his tongue. She's almost breathless as he lets her go.
"Andrew..." The only word that came out from her mouth as she looked into his eyes.
"I am just checking if this steak is more delicious than your mouth. Well, your lips were my number one."
She chuckled as she got the steak with her hands and forced it into his mouth. "You know what? You're only hungry. Eat." She said between chuckles.
"If I eat this, what will I get for dessert?" She looked down and bit her lip as she played the vegetables with her fork.
"I guess I will have to pick it myself." Andrew held her hand that's resting on the table. She smiled right away.
"Let me finish what I am eating first."
"You look so beautiful even without your makeup." She looked at him as he studied her expression. She is only wearing a bathrobe and she's now doing her skincare routine at night.
"Spoil me with those I might give you all that you liked."
"I am still hungry," He stood up and hugged her from behind. She held his hands as she turned to face him. She kissed his lips and smiled. After that kiss, Andrew enjoyed his dessert to the fullest by making love to her all night.
He was awake at exactly three thirty in the morning. He faced his wife and gently caressed her cheek, tracing his fingers to her nose and on her mouth.
"You know what? I am still hungry." She chuckled in response as he touched her wet core down there.
"Love...please,"
"Please what?"
"I can't get enough of you." She whispered back on his ear.
"Hmm..." She moaned as she felt his touch. She slowly opened her eyes and blinked. When she realized that he was looking at her direction, she couldn't help but to smile.
"My goodness, can't you still believe that you got married to one of the most beautiful women in the world?" Dianne said as she tried to mimic the way he would say it to her every time.
Andrew couldn't help but to laugh at what Deandra said to him. He pulled him close to her and kissed her forehead.
"Thank you for letting me experience this." He said in a low voice. She could feel him smiling on her forehead. She also sensed that Andrew is sincere to her right now. However, the more he would say those words, the more it only added to her want of hurting him and leaving him the way he did to her seven years ago.
Whenever she will think of the things that he did a long time ago, her thirst for revenge becomes unquenchable. She wanted him to feel miserable too. She wanted him to also what it felt like feeling rejected and being the last option of the one that you adored and loved the most.
As Deandra looked into his eyes, she's confident that her plans are at work now.
----
"What? You talked to Drew? Are you out of your mind?" She frowned at her sister. Knowing her, she would really interfere in her plans.
Priya met her sister Denysse again during her day off. She's the only one she knew that could understand her and her rants and frustrations. She folded her arms as she faced her. Even Denysse herself felt the sarcasm in her tone of voice.
"Of course, I wouldn't let Deandra get on my way."
"Dein, please stop it. They are married already. There's nothing you can do about it." She responded at her sister in a calm, worried way. She knew that if Priya is really angry, she does outrageous and crazy things that's out of the box. The bad thing is, she'a always included every time she will do those things and she hated it so much.
"I would like to remind you that things don't happen your own way all the time. Live your own life and don't mind our stepmother."
"Oh c'mon Denysse, life is fun."
"It is fun without your plans, sis. Remember, our stepmother is different now. She's not someone that we used to know."
"Why are you so worried? C'mon, enjoy life with me."
"I am out of your pranks and all your plans. Please don't include me. I am very busy at the hospital everyday."
"You're a spoiler." Priya frowned as she looked at her sister.
"Stop it. You might regret the results of your actions forever."
"I have my own plans. I'll make sure Deandra will not get away with it this time around."
