Chapter 11
If we look at Alex’s behavior, gestures, and everything he does to Aurora, everyone would surely think that the man has truly changed. He might even regret the foolish actions he once took.
Initially, Alex was indeed very committed. Even when ignored, he still tried to show all the attention, actions, and sweet gestures to slowly melt Aurora’s heart.
For heaven’s sake, Alex regrets it. He even promised. He also swore to himself not to waste the precious opportunity given by Aurora.
However, a promise is just a promise. It’s not difficult for God to test by turning hearts upside down.
Coinciding with one afternoon when Alex had just finished a meeting with a client at a restaurant, unexpectedly Nicole approached. After repeatedly being deliberately ignored and avoided, the beautiful and sexy woman boldly followed, then approached Alex when there was a chance.
“We need to talk seriously, Alex.”
Nicole clearly blocked his way. She didn’t let Alex leave her behind for a moment.
“What else do you want to talk about?”
Alex frowned. Moreover, he worried that the accidental meeting between him and Nicole this evening might be discovered by Aurora and put him back in a tight spot.
For several months now, Alex has struggled to win back his wife’s heart. And now, when Aurora is slowly opening up, Alex doesn’t want to betray that trust again.
“We don’t need to talk about anything anymore.” “Our business isn’t finished. It’s not okay for you to just leave like that. Anyway, we both need to talk seriously.”
Nicole was not satisfied. Her voice sounded forceful.
“Fine. Speak now. I’ll listen to whatever it is.”
Nicole sighed in annoyance. She pulled a chair and sat directly in front of Alex. “You can’t just throw me away like trash. After satisfying yourself, you can’t just leave me! Besides, I truly love you, Alex. I don’t want our relationship to end like this.”
Alex chuckled bitterly. While being in a relationship with Nicole, he admitted that it was nothing more than momentary lust. He never involved his heart and feelings in it. Just for fun. “Don’t overdo it. What we did before was just for fun. We both know that.”
“But, for heaven’s sake, I really love you, Alex. Whatever it takes, I’ll do it to make our relationship return to what it was before.”
At that moment, to avoid unwanted situations, Alex made it clear and chose to leave Nicole immediately. He thought, after being flatly rejected, Nicole would never appear in his life again.
However, Alex was wrong. In the following days, Nicole became more daring and intense in her harassment. From sending affectionate chats or voice notes containing naughty words to sending provocative photos that aroused desire in anyone who saw them. Basically, Nicole never gave up once, trying to lure Alex back into her arms.
Until one day, when Alex was on a business trip out of town, somehow, Nicole followed him.
What’s more surprising, after finishing the meeting and entering his hotel room, Alex was left speechless by Nicole’s sudden presence. The woman appeared extremely sexy because she was only wearing the red lingerie Alex had given her when they were still together.
“Nicole! How did you get here?”
Alex couldn’t hide his astonishment. He was both amazed and wondered how Nicole could be in his room. Did one of his staff inform her or collaborate with her?
“Alex… don’t you miss me?”
Nicole’s voice sounded playful. Ignoring Alex’s question, she, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, then stood up and tried to hug him. But instead of being welcomed, Alex quickly pushed her away.
“You shouldn’t be here,” Alex rejected hurriedly. He grabbed one of Nicole’s wrists, intending to immediately take her out of his room.
But Nicole resisted. With all her strength, she pulled Alex until they both fell and lay on the bed.
Initially, Alex wanted to get up immediately. But Nicole didn’t allow that to happen. In a flash, she shifted positions until she ended up sitting right on top of the man’s body. “Don’t you seriously miss me?”
In a very close situation, Nicole asked again. She locked Alex’s eyes to keep him staring at her.
“If you knew, I miss the moments when we spent time together.”
Nicole grinned. She used her slender fingers to gently caress Alex’s face. Smiling, she pulled his wrist and deliberately stroked his neck down to his chest.
This time Nicole chuckled softly. Intentionally, she caressed both of Alex’s chests simultaneously. Without much delay, displaying a teasing yet seductive gaze, Nicole tempted Alex by bringing her hand to stroke down to his stomach. Continuing down until she stopped at a point, then gently squeezed, which made Alex almost out of breath.
“Nicole.”
Alex’s voice sounded heavy and hoarse. There was a stirring emotion followed by a slowly rising desire clearly reflected in his eyes.
“Do you seriously not want to touch me like before?” Nicole whispered. While caressing, she continued to tempt. “I don’t mind if our relationship is just for fun. What matters is that I can still be by your side.”
“Nicole…” Alex called out again. “I —”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Just relax,” Nicole interrupted hurriedly before Alex could finish his sentence. “I promise this time I’ll be more careful. I’ll make sure Aurora will never know about us.”
Nicole looked pleadingly. Asking Alex to accept her offer.
“Whatever you ask, I’ll do it.”
Like a drought in need of rain. And it had been several months since the thirst had struck and had never been satisfied. Especially since Aurora still refused to be touched.
So, now that someone was offering voluntarily, should Alex reject it?
Of course, Alex wouldn’t waste this opportunity. Tempted by persuasion and devilish whispers, Alex surrendered himself once again to Nicole.
Even after that day, they both chose to resume their relationship secretly and more cautiously. Alex even tried to act normal to avoid raising suspicion from Aurora. As ordinary as possible, choosing the safe route so that his relationship with Nicole could continue until now.
