52 52- Mus. Be Cheating
“I’m in the middle of a meeting, will talk to you later. ”
And the call got disconnected leaving Valerie hanging again by a thread. She stared at her phone while the other hand that was holding a cigarette came closer to her mouth to take a long puff of smoke.
etting that smoke out of her mouth and nostrils was he world’s best feeling in the world. The male figure leeping beside her stirred a little, but Valerie didn’t ven bother to look at him.
What time is it?” she heard his sleepy voice but didn’t
iswer.
re you ok, girl?” he propped up on his elbows to take better look at her. She seemed upset and was holding r phone while smoking.

“Can you please come back to bed, girl?”
Valerie picked up her clothes from the floor and started putting them on.
“No! Once was enough. I don’t do several rounds,” this was the only reasoning she could come up with and
that was a lie.
After getting intimate with Rafael, she always used to plead with him to do it once more, but he always
pushed her aside.
No, love. Once is enough!”
And today this man was expecting her to do it again! Vhy? Was she not beautiful enough for Rafael?
Look here, love,” he had also got up from the bed and hankfully was wearing a pair of shorts.
Sorry. Not interested…” she said without looking at im and this time he couldn’t take it anymore.
olding her by her elbows, he dragged her to the bed id pinned her to the mattress under him.
What’s the matter? Didn’t I make you happy last night,

Valerie looked at the man who was demanding explanations like was her husband. Her hand raised and she slapped hard across his face.
“Making me happy? Are you out of your mind? Who
are you? My fu*cking husband? Can you give me a
child? Huh?”
She didn’t realize, tears had started falling off her eyes.
He was just observing the pain on her face. He lifted his body a little to ease off some of his weight from her delicate figure.
She was beautiful. He always had a thing for blondes and had his eyes on her ever since she joined the tour Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
group.
“Do you have a husband? Are you married, girl?” he asked, and his question was met by silence.
“I’m asking you something, love. I’m not trying to judge you. Are you married?” she slowly nodded her head.
She had stopped crying, but tears were still gliding down her cheeks.
He, at last, got up and offered her, his hand to help her in sitting up.

52 52- Must Be Cheating
“Are you hungry?” Valerie swiped her tongue on her lips and that little action caught his eye but then this was not the time to go forward with this crazy idea of making love to her.
She was already upset.
He used the cruise intercom to bring snacks for them. They both needed strong coffee in their system.
Valerie was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down. After placing the intercom, he walked up to her and crouched down, instead of sitting beside her.
“Are you trying for a baby?” he asked her, and she nodded this time. He took a sigh of relief when she gave him the response.
“Have you consulted a doctor, girl?”
“It’s Valerie!”
“Sorry?”
“I said it’s Valerie. Call me by my name. Not some Girl!”
“OK. Fine!” He threw his arms in the air, “I got it. You are not some random girl. You are Valerie. So,
Valerie…”

When she didn’t look at him, he placed his finger under her chin and raised her face gently, “So you are married and trying for a baby. How come I got in this equation?”
She shrugged and wiped her face with the back of her hand, “I don’t kno she whispered.
“Were you… were you missing your husband when you approached me?”
He asked her and she nodded without hesitancy.
Exhaling a long, tired breath he, at last, got up and sat beside her, “Listen, Valerie. If you are regretting all this then better leave my room. Nobody needs to know what you are doing here. You are free to go. However, … here’s the other option,” he wanted to smile when at last she gave him the attention he wanted.
“What’s that other option, boy?” he chuckled at her dig. She was doing the same thing that he had been doing since they got intimate.
“My name is Ethan, Valerie. Ethan Lockwood. Your other option is to stay and enjoy life with me. I
promise there won’t be any strings attached. Your privacy will be intact.”
5252 AM Bu Chating!
Valerie didn’t know what to say. The life was offering her something and she wanted to take it. She was aware that this was a temporary arrangement.
“No strings attache she asked him, and he moved
his head.
“No strings attached,” this time he did kiss her cheek softly, “But what I don’t understand is… why your husband is least interested in you. He is a lucky dog who has such a beautiful wife. Doesn’t he like
children?”
She sighed thinking of her miscarriage.
“He belongs to the Sinclair family and needs an heir,” while saying that something was ringing bells in her
head.
Ethan Lockwood. Is he related to Lockwood
Industries?
“Hmm?” she said absent–mindedly when he called her name, “What?”
“Valerie. I think your husband either is blind, or he is impotent, or maybe isn’t medically fit to be a father… there are so many possibilities, love. You need to check

because you are a woman and don’t have a strong rich background.”
Ethan was right. For how long Nina would keep blaming her for not hag a baby when her son is not ready to get intimate with her?
“You are right. I never thought about these possibilities… My husband is in Kanderton for no reason. He never went on such a long business trip.”
“Then there is only one explanation for this…” he said and saw her throwing a questioning glance his way,
“There might be a possibility that he is involved in
some woman in Kanderton. Your husband must be cheating on you, love!”
