Cara’s Pov:

 

“What are we doing. Jason.” I moan out, my fingers running through his slik dirty blonde hair.

 

What is wrong with me. What’s wrong with my body. My mind keeps on yelling at me to stop but my mouth does the opposite, savouring every inch of his manly taste, godddddd he taste so damn good.

 

 

My fingers run along his hard nice-tone back, feeling every each inch of it. I want to touch all of him but the damn shirt keeps getting in my way.

 

Just as I struggle to peel off his shirt, reality hit me. I’m married. I might not be inlove with my husband but that doesn’t mean I should cheat on Henry and besides recently Henry has been so good to me, It will be bad of me to do this to him.

 

“No!! No!! No!! Stop! Stop!” I rave angrily at Jason pushing him away from me.

 

“Cara. Come on.”

 

“No Jason. This has to stop. I’m married.” I exclaim utterly.

 

“Yes to a man you don’t love.” He says with a hint scarscram. He eyes stares at me intently, causing a ripping sensation in my body. I have to leave, one more minute here and I’ll end up in Jason bed.

 

“Goodbye Jason.” I said, my voice cold and I walk out of his apartment with a heavy heart. His gaze lingering on my back.

“Ma is everything alright.” Mark ask concerned, staring at me. I know I’m a mess right now.

 

I put on a straight face and answers, “Yeah.” And then I calm down my racing heart and instructs mark to drive.

 

“Yes ma.”

 

“Still sticking with the ‘Ma’ you know Cara will sound more nice.”

 

“I don’t think so Ma.” Ugh.

 

I fall back to the car chair relaxing. And befire you know it I’ve made a trip to dreamland.

 

 

 

 

Date: 20th, March, 2029.

 

Time: 7:25pm

 

Location: Henry’s Mansion.

 

Cara’s Pov:

 

Stepping down from the car. I walk straight into the mansion, I would really kill for a dip in the hot tub like right now. I stop on my track at the sight of the unwelcome guest in my house. My father in law and my actual father. Ugh can this day get any better(worse).

 

“My love, you’re back.” Henry says cheerfully and walks towards me then pulls me into a hug. He gives me a quick kiss on the lips.

 

“It’s a pleasure to see you President Williams. Good afternoon father.” I greet putting on my best smile ever.

 

“Well if isn’t my favorite daughter, actually the only one since the other one is dead.” Father says with a cheeky lop-sided grin. My blood boils at the reference to Stephanie. Bastard.

 

President Williams paid no attention to me or my greeting not even a glance.

 

“Son. I didn’t train you to call your wife love, or even have pet names.” President Williams says staring at Henry seriously.

 

“There’s nothing wrong with what I call my wife, Father. She’s the love of my life.” Henry says causually and my eyes shoots up in surprise. He didn’t.

 

“Love are for weak men, and I did not raise you to be weak, Henry.” Williams glares at him. Then continues. “I’ll not accept this Henry. And you, leave. A woman is not suppose to stand in the midst of men unless called upon. Now leave!!!!”

 

 

“She’s not going anywhere father. If you have a problem with her here then you can leave, this is my house after all, father.” Henry says shocking the hell out of me. Is he asking his father to leave. Woah.

 

“Are you asking me to leave son.” Williams asks more shocked than I am.

 

“Yes, and I’ll prefer if you take your leave now.” Henry says and signals to the door. President Williams glares holes at me before walking out the door and my dad follows like a good good dog.

 

“Henry you shouldn’t have done that.” I utter panicking and surprise by Henry balant attitude.

 

“Well I can’t stand anyone who disrespect my woman not even my father.” He smiles at me calmly and takes my hand caressing it softly.

 

“But still..” Henry’s finger bring an end to my protest. “Shhh. Cara I know I haven’t been the best husband to my past wife’s, and I know a lot of people think I’m responsible for their death. Their kind of right Cara.” He turns around not reaching my gaze. I can feel vulnerability oozing from him. I never knew Henry had a vulnerable side.

 

“Henry.” I call out trying to touch his arm.

 

“Cara don’t. Cara I know you see me as monster even before you met me. But I’m not a monster, ever since the death of my first wife and my son, I’ve always felt so lonely and sad. I loved grace and my son so much, that after their death I became a sadist. I hated life so much I end up killing my last two wife, I killed them Cara.” I stare at him in disbelief. I mean I’ve always believed his responsible for the death of his ex wife’s, but I guess I just wanted to believe in it so I could hate him.

 

Henry sits in the bar stool and pours himself whiskey. He drowns it all at once.

 

“I made it a goal to hate every other woman my father brings into my life. But you came along Cara, you light up my whole world with your radiating beauty and smile. Cara I didn’t mean to fall in love with you. I didn’t plan for it. (Henry bangs

 

 

his fist on the bar angrily, startling me) But I did anyway, I fell in love with you, badly.” He drowns another glass of whiskey.

 

“I know you wouldn’t want to have anything to do with a man who beat up his wife to death. (He stands up from the desk and walks over to me. He smiles a little, taking my hand). I don’t deserve you Cara, you’re too good for me. And that’s why i am letting you go.” Tears stream down from my eyes, I don’t understand why I’m so emotional, I don’t know if it’s because of what Henry just said or something else entirely.

 

“I…i….i don’t know what to say. I’m speechless.”

 

“You don’t have to say anything let me do the talking. You don’t have to worry about anybody. As your ex husband I’ll give you the permission to live freely and own properties or assets. Cara I want to give you the freedom you deserve, and that’s not with me. Please take it.”

 

Everything I’ve ever wanted is right in front of me, the freedom I’ve always dreamed of is handed over to me in a silver platter. But why do I feel this way, why am I tearing up, I should be rejoicing, dancing for joy, but I’m not. Do I have feelings for my husband. OMG
