Chapter 31

31 31. The Faithful Husband

“Hi, Will, it’s such a coincidence,” Paula gulped, hiding her surprise. “How are you? Everything okay?”

“Don’t hi me so casually like that,” William answered in disbelief. He was wondering, how could the woman not feel that she wronged him at all.

Seeing Paula’s happy face, William didn’t feel well. He suddenly recalled the scene when Samuel kissed her and when she fed Samuel with her hands. His heart clenched as if someone squeezed it hard.

William’s face turned even darker. “I want to discuss things with you-a lot of them. But your knees are bleeding. Let’s postpone the talk and do some treatments first.”

Without hesitation, William hugged and lifted Paula’s not-so-light body as if she was nothing. Paula wanted to refuse his help but she had no power. She couldn’t even walk by herself. So, she thought, touching William one more time would not hurt anyone. Moreover, she was still his wife. What’s wrong if a husband carried his injured wife around in public?

For that reason, Paula gave up and lingered her hands around his neck, making both hearts beat even faster. They couldn’t help. Both could smell their familiar body scent. Both could touch their smooth skins that used to do more than mere touching. Both bodies longed for each other. Sadly, at the same time, their ego forced them to suppress that natural urge to claim each other.

At that time, Samuel arrived at the parking lot. He was getting off his car in a hurry only to find that the woman he loved was being carried by his rival. He was just one minute late. One minute that turned everything upside down.

“Hey, put her down!” Samuel exclaimed. However, William didn’t care about it. He continued walking-back to the hotel-as if nothing happened.

“Will, Samuel is here. He can help me treat my wound,” Paula whispered in William’s ear.

.....

Paula expected that William would put her down, giving her up to Samuel. But, she didn’t know that William would never do that. “You’re still my wife, no?” William asked with a stern face. “You should rely on me instead of another guy. That’s the rule.”

Paula’s eyes popped out. “Yes, but we’re soon to be ex,” she insisted.

“We will talk about it later.” William continued walking until Samuel approached him and stood in front of him.

“I said, put her down!” Samuel ordered, pointing his finger at William. “Are you deaf? Why don’t you just go home and take care of your pregnant bitch?”

William’s ears couldn’t stand Samuel’s words. He wanted to punch his cousin but he knew that it would not be good. How could they explain the situation to their parents?

“She has the ring and I have mine. We’re husband and wife. A stranger should back off!” William said sternly. He glared at Samuel, unblinking. “Don’t meddle in others’ business!”

“Samuel, I am sorry. Can we reschedule the dinner? Please,” Paula begged Samuel to give up. She knew it wouldn’t end well if Samuel insisted on dragging her out of William’s embrace.

Samuel had no choice but to leave. He didn’t want it but he also didn’t want to make Paula detest him. Then, William brought Paula into the hotel to treat her wound.

Once they entered the lobby, everybody’s eyes landed on them. Despite their stern looks, the stranger would think that both were a loving couple, who wanted to spend the night in the hotel.

Paula’s face was nothing but blushing. She couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

“You should bring me to the hospital, Will. Not a hotel room,” Paula complained. “People look at us in disgust.”

“They envy you, no?” William replied nonchalantly.

“Put me down, Will!” Paula insisted.

“Never!”

Paula didn’t deny that the other side of her wanted some privacy with William. She missed his presence. She longed for his tender touch. However, getting into a hotel room would increase the chances of them doing other things besides discussing. She didn’t want it at all costs. She made up her mind to let William go for good. If anything happened tonight, all her efforts would go in vain. It would be even harder for her to stop her feelings.

But, William didn’t care. He kept Paula in his arms and led her into the president suite he’d just booked so he wouldn’t have to go upstairs. He didn’t want his precious energy drained so easily for something insufficient. Who knew something good would happen tonight? His other side wanted to give his best performance in bed-if it was even possible.

Without saying a word, William sat Paula down on the luxurious couch near the door. If only the atmosphere wasn’t tense and full of resentment, now would be a great time for the couple to make love.

Luxurious furniture made of gold-plated material colors the beauty of this magnificent room. A lavish double king-size bed looked so comfortable, tempting the couple to come and play around. However, all of the sights could not soften the dark thoughts in William and Paula’s heads. Both faces seemed gloomy and stern.

“Will, take me to the hospital.” Paula was getting annoyed. Her desire tried to take over her brain, making her feel even more uncomfortable. “Why won’t you listen to me?”

“Why? Are you afraid of getting horny?” William asked flatly, making Paula’s eyes widen in disbelief. He was bold despite anything that happened recently.

“That’s right, I am indeed getting horny. But I am quite aware that your dick is not mine now. So don’t worry, I will never try to suck it. My pussy is well-mannered. Never tried to seduce a dick that belongs to another woman.” Paula smirked, fiercely. She clenched her teeth. Tried to get her composure.

“What do you mean? I told you, we are still husband and wife. Mine is yours, and vice versa,” William said, no less fiercely. “After all, what is the meaning of this sudden divorce? You didn’t even talk to me at first. Are you tired of me? Did you only use me, and now you want to find a new prey?”

“Hey, look who’s talking?” Paula, of course, was offended by the accusation. “You impregnated another woman, then accused me of using you?”

“That too. Who would suddenly leave her husband’s house, accuse him of cheating, then file for divorce all of a sudden without saying anything? Do you realize that it isn’t fair for me? You decide an important thing without even showing your ass in front of me.” William exclaimed, venting all his anger towards Paula. “You even have fun with another man. Is his dick bigger than mine? Can he make you cum many times more than me? Am I not good enough?”

“Wait!” Paula was surprised.

“What now?” William asked-far from a kind gesture.

“What do you mean? You didn’t impregnate Lea?” asked Paula in surprise. So shocked that she didn’t care about William’s accusations against her. “But I saw Lea’s sonogram-”

“Lea is pregnant, but that doesn’t mean that the baby is mine. Why did you accuse me of something like that?” William cut Paula’s words in annoyance.

Paula’s eyes widened. “Didn’t you see her often?”

“I did meet her. Not bang her! For your information, I only dip my dick in your pussy. Yours is the only home for mine. Mine never tried to get inside another woman’s.” William was increasingly exasperated. “What proof do you have for accusing me of cheating on you?”

Paula gulped. “You’re a man, aren’t you? You can just have sex with me even with no love. I thought, you definitely will not be able to resist the temptation of the woman you love,” she explained as she looked at William’s face with a serious, unblinking look. Her brows furrowed, still not believing William’s defense. She was almost correct.

Almost.

However, William found that he was being slandered. He brought his face closer to Paula’s. His hands pressed her waist, making her stomach churn.

Paula could smell his minty breath. She could see his emerald eyes turned dark. Her skin could feel his body temperature increase.

“I am a man. Indeed,” he said, bringing his hands above to fondle her round and firm chest.

“I love tits and pussy. True,” he continued, pinching her already hardened nipples. He smirked, knowing Paula’s body’s reaction. He found that it was amusing to tease her more.

William brought his mouth to suck Paula’s left nipple through the thin fabric, making the dress wet with his saliva. She let out a lewd moan as he continued to suck her right nipple. That was indeed what he aimed for.

“I loved Lea as well. I did.”

Paula’s eyes widened. But, she brushed the thought. Perhaps, he slipped his tongue.

“However, do you know what lies above all that?” William asked firmly, even though he was very upset with Paula.

Paula swallowed. She could only stare at William’s serious face which didn’t usually look this dominant. Usually, they were both equal. However, at this time, she felt that William towered over her.

“What’s that?” Heavily, Paula opened her dry lips even though the only sound that came out was a whisper-the softest one.

“Our marriage,” William answered without hesitation as he lifted and squeezed Paula’s left fingers, bringing the two rings together so Paula could see them. “It’s our bond, Paula ....”
