Start With An Unexpected Affair

…. the past…

The exquisite living room looks a bit messy from the usual picture and as young Kyler entered the room he knew at once what had happened in the room, his legs hesitated for some moment but then he turned to go into his room and lock himself up.

Rosa’s eyes watch him till the door closes, her messy clothes as well as ruffled hair made her feel ashamed to be seen by her son in such situation, her gaze turned to her husband who sat on the lounger with his loosed boxers looking nothing less.

As usual he had just rough handled her and that too inside the living room without any care or shame, Rosa who look at her husband and saw no iota of regret or shame in his action burst into tears covering her face fully with her palms.

Young Kyler in his room also struggle with the tears that kept falling, he has gotten used to the scene of seeing his mother being molested by his father and every time this happens he had no choice than to go to his room an cry silently.

Then on a fateful day he had returned home from school finishing high school exam’s and rush home early to share the news with his mother when he met an ill-starred situation which shattered him completely

‘His mother had an affair’ sooner his parents got divorced and he had to live alone with the anguish.

…. back to present…

For the first time in twelve years Kyler felt the same feeling of anguish rushing through him as he receive the report confirmation of his wife’s pregnancy and it was indeed confirmed to be five weeks old which clearly means he’s not responsible for the pregnancy.

Taking the piece of paper with him Kyler drove back home heartbroken and feeling lost, his intelligence couldn’t seems to help him this time as he’s confused and dishearten that his mind was lost.

Veronica’s game seems caught up with her as she seems to have lost this particular round and now she couldn’t help but worry what he would do to her, not wanting to take chances she escape from the hospital and went to lodge in an hotel to avoid his wrath.

The original plan was to trap Kyler into giving her a massive pay after their divorce and also live a happy life with Conrad but now all that seems to have become futile.

She had called Conrad many times already and her calls has been put on hold or cut off immediately it was picked, feeling frustrated and horrible Veronica resorted to the last thing ever rather than face shame she will rather face death instead, staring at the piles of medicine in her hands she closed her eyes fixed and swallow up all the pills.

The next time she open her eyes back on the hospital the same bed she was lying down, in a panic she jerked up and try to escape the room but her plan got aborted when she sees him standing at the door like he is deliberately blocking it.

“You gonna run again?” he asked with a cold gaze and Veronica find her hands tremble in fright, she quickly held on to the bed with her butt seated back

“Please” she begged amidst tears that threatened to fall

“You!” he gritted his teeth to suppress his anger at the sight of her.

Kyler moved slowly towards her feeling daze and full of anger, before she could escape him, his hands went for her neck throttling her while her panic eyes begged for mercy.

“How dare you!” he cried out in rage putting more pressure in his fist around her neck

just as she was about to lose her breathe the image of his childhood flash into his memory, the eyes before his eyes slowly changed to that of his mother, the agony in them caused him an instant shock and he let go of his hands at once regretting his action.

In the same moment he felt like a younger version of his cruel father and slowly his chest tightened so hard that he lost his breathe and gaps loudly, he tried to calm himself down and hurry out of the room in a stupor state.

After Kyler left the room, Veronica quickly rush to the door amidst catching her breathe but to her shock and distress again, the door was blocked by two men in black.

Slowly understanding the situation she walk back to her bed succumbing to whatever might happen to her.

His wife betrayal shattered him so much that even his workers suffered the effect, spending all day at the office was one thing but then giving loads of work and roaring at everyone at the slightest error made everyone crazy and petrified.

Alex knock quietly on the door hoping not to enrage his Boss again and came in after waiting for minutes to hear his response, the room seems a bit messy from the morning which made his confused on what in the world happened in the office.

His eyes search for him in the room and found him rummaging through a piles of paperwork, his dry throat strives for saliva.

“President Black” he called inaudibly

“What?” his voice coarse and made Alex swallowed yet another dry throat.

“The first meeting of the new business team is in five minutes, would you like to…”

“I will be there” he cut short and turn back to his business. Alex nodded and quickly exit the office.

The time seems to have passed in the blink of his eyes as he hurry to the new office where the new team meeting is taking place, he had been so buried in paper document that he forgot all about the meeting.

Kyler entered the room and as the sight of him they all stood on their feet to acknowledge him, the person sitting at the last end of the round table was the last to stand up with reluctance.

“Good day, President Black the meeting started twenty minutes ago” she said and took her seat, so do others.

“I’m sure I don’t owe you an explanation” he said angrily and drag a jotter from the nearest person to him, going through it

“First we would like to introduce the team members…”

“Skip that and tell me the progress” he said rudely and Yasmin almost retort back at him

“Well things are going well and just as planned, it’s being kept secret from anyone else”

“Why are you doing the talking?” he asked irritated at listening to her voice

“Because I am the team manager” Yasmin replied with a smirk

Kyler who is already in an awful mood went mad seeing her smirk, he hit the table in a fist, causing everyone on the table to flick at the sudden outburst, not done yet he grab the laptop in front of her and hurl it against the wall.

Yasmin watched in a panic at his fury, she had only wanted to irritate him but not to this extent, feeling frightened she tried to escape his next move and turn to the door but he was quick to catch her and pitch her to a corner while the others let out a gasp

“Get out” he thunderous and in fast pace, everyone else ran out leaving only the two of them and Yasmin at his mercy.

“What are you doing? Get the hell off me” she yelled not giving up

She’s no longer afraid of him and there is no way she’s getting succumb to him now

“Stay still Yasmin” he said in a surprisingly calm voice which baffled her but yet made her calm down a bit.

After waiting for a long time, he finally came out of the office and left the building, the other team members who were lingering to know what happened immediately rush in to check on Yasmin

They found her wiping off her tears and wonder what might have transpired between the two, not sure what to say they all took their seat and wait for her to come around.

“That scum!” Yasmin cursed after forcing her tears back, not wanting to remember the horrible words he said to her

“I will make sure to get you back” she promised.

Kyler took the car key from his driver and drove back to the hospital where he had confined Veronica for two days, seeing her today has made him regain his lost senses and emotion.

The moment he stepped into the room, his eyes couldn’t help but rest on noticing every single details on her, not wanting to give in to any crazy thoughts he avert his gaze and took his seat but then as she speak to him, Kyler’s mind couldn’t help but have a reminisce of their night together and in an instant he felt an irrepressible arouse, getting out of his mind he pinned her to the wall in a fist.

But just when he was about mess up, he had control and the mean words rush out of his lips

“I do not realize how shameless you are to come seduce the second time after what you did, do you really thought doing this will get my attention?” he asked with anger and mockery

“What are you talking about? You think so highly of yourself President Black” she had respond back not getting intimidated

“Really? I guess a night isn’t enough for the likes of you, should we have another one then? Right here? Right now?” he attempt to touch her in a careless way that enrage her, the hurt on her face was just something he wantedBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

If he could be mean to her, then the unwanted feelings will be gone.

When she tried to push him off again he didn’t fight it but rather move back from her and walk out of the office, not looking back.

He drove into the hospital and didn’t bother to park his car properly before heading off to the ward she’s in, when he open the door, he saw her sleeping peacefully but the moment he came near her, her eyes flick open and she jolted away from him

“Calm down” he said and pull her back, closer to him in an embrace

“I’m sorry” he said giving her a shock, Veronica chest pounded hard against his as they hugged

“What…”

“I’m forgiving you” he told her

“What!” she shriek, her voice louder than she intended.

Veronica’s eyes goggled in numbness as the news, she return the embrace by putting her hands around him, her mind trying to process the news

‘Is he really letting her go?’ she wondered to herself pretending to be happy with him.

In the night Kyler requested they sleep on the same bed like they used to and put the past behind them, he has also cheated on her too and treating her like a criminal is not going to settle things, the best is to keep the issue between them and become loving couples again.

Veronica nodded at this but deep down she is afraid of what he might do to her, Black is not someone to condone a cheat and whatever reason he’s letting her free and trying to forget everything remains a puzzle to her as his excuse doesn’t seems a good reason to her for letting go.

“Promise me you will never see him again” he demanded

“I promise” she said and lean in for a kiss on the forehead, hoping this last long.

Accepting a cheat is not something he would condone but then becoming like his father is also a nightmare he wouldn’t want to happen, no matter what he hope to have a happy family and be the best husband and father.
