Tears Of A Wife novel Chapter 41

My thoughts got interrupted by the loud sound of my phone. My forehead creased as I reached for it. I was confused when I saw the number of the mansion's guard, but I still answered it. Maybe, it's an emergency.

"Hello?" I asked in a low voice.

"Ma'am! Sir is still here. Soaking in rain!" he answered.

My world stops spinning. I don't know what to do. I can only hear the sound of my own heart. Beating faster than it hurts.

"Ma'am?!"

I can't think straight but I don't want Atlas to be sick. I hurriedly picked a robe and wrapped it around my body. My movement was fast as I got out of the house. Jenny saw me in the living room but I did not budge to answer her call. Even the guard inside couldn't do anything. I opened the gate as fast as I could and my heart almost jumped out of my ribs.

Atlas was soaking wet. His strong aura had vanished. He was looking at our mansion, particularly in my room. But when he saw me, he shifted his gaze. His eyes are pleading but the intensity of each gaze is piercing through my soul while walking close to me. Nonetheless, I tried to speak despite feeling cold due to the rain.

"Why are you soaking in the rain?!" I loudly asked him. "Go home!" I added as I embraced myself. I can feel the coldness seep through my skin.

"I love you, Olive. I want you to see that I loved you even back then," he uttered when he got close to me.

I don't know what to believe. I don't know what to do. It felt good to hear Atlas say those words. Even if I deny it, I know that it brought fire in my heart.

The rain may be cold, but Atlas' words warmed my body. Words that I've been waiting for a long time.

In the end, I betrayed myself.

I was the one who went to him. I pulled him and kissed him with all my heart and soul. Because Atlas still owned me.

He's right.

Just this once.

******

I don't know what happened next. I just ended up inside Atlas' car as he drove away fast. I don't know where we're going. The only thing I know is, I'm determined to go with him whenever he would take me.

Atlas kissed me rough and hard. I kissed him with the same intensity, too. Like it could make up for the months we didn't see each other. Like we kissed all the days we missed.

My legs wobble so I can hardly stand. Electricity is always evident whenever I am with Atlas while he is touching me. A few moments later, I felt him carry me. I instantly wrapped my legs on his waist and snaked my hands on his neck. Atlas is still kissing me and I am kissing him back, too.

I was catching my breath when Atlas let go of my lips. My breathing hitched when I looked at him in the face. Atlas is still carrying me. His breathing touched my face, while his eyes pierced through my soul. Desire and longing is evident in his stare.

"I want to own you, Olive," he said in a raspy voice. "Own you like I never did before."

I nodded. A sign that I'll surrender everything to him. He put me down on the floor and in a swift move, he started undressing me. His movements were fast as he removed the jacket I was wearing. He also removed my wet robe. I can feel his eagerness to claim that I just found myself undressing him, too.

We undressed each other hysterically, as if we didn't care about anything. I know that we felt the same. We need each other. We desperately wanted each other.

When he finally undressed me, he raked his eyes on my body. I didn't feel any shame as he stared at me. My heart suddenly stopped when he slowly kneeled in front of me.

I don't know what to say. I don't know what to feel. Atlas is giving me too many emotions that I can't contain. It felt so difficult to know nothing about the things that have no assurance.
