Deadly Affairs

*Early the next morning*

Natasha woke up with a huge smile playing on her lips. Today, despite all that had been happening for the past few weeks, she didn’t have any nightmare. It was the second time that such is happening.

She turned to her side and almost giggled when she saw Ryan still sleeping and snoring peacefully. Hee cheeks flushed really hard when she recalled what they did yesterday.

Becauae of him, she couldn’t get any work done like she thought she would be able to. They continued making love till the early hours of the morning so it’s a real miracle that Natasha is already awake by this time.

“He looks so handaomw when he is asleep.” She thought to herself as she’s admired his face carefully.

This was the second time that she was making love to him. She wouldn’t really consider the first one as making love because though it was fantastic, she did it for a reason and with no strings attached.

She didn’t even think that she would get to see him again. Now, there’s a lot of strings attached. She did it because she was already falling for him.

That’s right, she was already in love with him and she only realised it yesterday. She could still remember the heartbreak and anger she felt towards him when she thought that Ryan was cheating on her with Abigail.

Her heart hurt so much when she saw them making out. She also couldn’t forget the happiness she felt when she realised that it wasn’t really true. It was all a set up by Abigail.

She wanted to tell him how she really felt about him. She wanted to open up her heart to him and tell him everything about her but she was just too scared.

Would he hate her when he finds out about her past? Would he be disappointed by her decisions? Would he get scared and run away from her if he finds out about her obsessive and psychotic ex? She had so many questions but no one to answer them.

Also, she had already had enough heartbreak to let her see the reality that every happiness she thinks she has always have an expiry date. She can’t always be happy for long because halfway, life always throws difficult situations at her.

Some of such situations that she could barely come out of the same as before or alive. She knew that it wouldn’t be long before the storm comes. Her life has always been like that.

The only thing that she could do now is tread carefully because Jason is still out there and he already threatened to kill Ryan. Though she’s never gonna push him away from her, she also doesn’t want him to get harmed because of her.

Any decision she makes was still gonna affect her either physically or emotionally and that made her feel stranded. Like she doesn’t know what else to do or what action to take.

She withdrew her hands that was slowly caressing his face. Her happiness had slowly faded away and turned into sadness. She stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom.

If she couldn’t decide on what to do now, she could only focus on what’s important that morning which is going to the hospital. She did her business before coming out with only a towel wrapped around her body.

The towel was very short, it stopped a few inches below her huge ass so if she bends, her whole backside would be visible. She didn’t really mind that because she thought Ryan was still asleep but when she entered into the room, he was already awake.

He had already put on his trousers and was seating at the edge of the bed.

“Good morning.” He muttered when he noticed her presence.

“Mornung.” She answered.

She thought he would leave because she was half naked and about to get ready for work but he didn’t. He kept staring at her with some kind of emotions she couldn’t describe. Coupled with what happened between them last night, Natasha couldn’t control herself when her cheeks turned into a very dark shade of pink.

She couldn’t bare his eyes on her and the awkward silence that filled the room so she decided to at least put on something. She turned around and was about to walk into her closet when she felt huge and muscular arms wrap around her waist from behind.

Ryan held her body in his arms as he rested his head on the crook of her neck, using his chin to massage her left collarbone. Natasha shivered slightly as she felt his small and well trimmed beards touch her neck.

“Thank you.” He whispered.

“For what?” I croaked out unable to talk well due to how close he was to me.

“For believing in me yesterday.” He said and I smiled.

That was a really close call because I was pushing him away at first before I finally found out the truth.

“No need to thank me because I didn’t actually believe you at first.” I said.

“Doesn’t matter because you still gave me a listening ear.” He answered and I turned to face him, still wrapped in his arms.

“I’m the one that’s supposed to apologize because you were in that state because of me.” I said.

“Uhh.. no. Abigail was the one who drugged ne remember?” He reminded.

“If you didn’t come here to see me, she wouldn’t have gotten the chance to do so. I’m so sorry.” I apologized.

“There’s no need for you to…”

“Just let me apologize. It would make me feel better.”

“Okay then.”

“So how are you now. Are you still feeling like you did last night? Any side effects?” I asked as I stared at him worriedly.

He chuckled lowly when he saw how worried I was about him.

“What’s funny?” I asked, feigning a frown.

“The almighty Natasha that never shows any emotion is worried about me. I guess I’m getting somewhere in earning your love.” He said with a small smile.

If only he knows that he already has it all. My love, heart and trust but I wasn’t going to tell him that. I didn’t want to feed his ego yet.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“You’re silly.” I said and wanted to pull away from his hold when he pulled me closer to him. Our lips were almost touching and his minty breath was fanning my face.

“Is trying to earn your love really silly? Don’t you feel anything for me after all this time?” He asked, suddenly turning serious. What’s up with him??

“Humm.. huh…” I stammered as I couldn’t form any word to give him as an answer.

“Answer me.” He said, almost sounding impatient. I was about to say something when the doorbell rang. So, he let me go.

“Stay here, I’ll go get it.” He said before he finally left the room.

I didn’t know when I released a small sigh of relief. Whoever it is at the door really saved me from Ryan’s questions. I just hope he wouldn’t ask again.

“What the fuck!!” I heard Ryan’s voice cussing loudly from outside.

I quickly put on his shirt to cover my almost naked body and put on some shorts before rushing out to see what made him shout like that. I got there immediately, a scream almost escaped my lips when I saw the most horrible thing I never thought I ever would see in my life.

I saw Sarah’s half naked lifeless body that had bruises and blue marks all over it. The thing that scared me the most and sent me cold chills down my spine were the words carved on her chest area. It read;

I’M COMING FOR YOU NATASHA MY DARLING WIFE…
