The Next Wife novel Chapter 14

Fred was quite eager to end the meeting but it was somewhat extended.

After the meeting, he was going to call Jayda because she had been calling him but he couldn't pick her call.

When he was about to call her, his phone rang again. A smile crept on his lips when it happened to be Jayda...

Their call ended when he heard Jayda squeak and he could tell that her phone fell from her hands.

He dialed her number again but it was already switched off.

Fred was suddenly scared. He tried to be positive by thinking that her phone simply fell from her hand.

Bad thoughts kept on ravaging in his head as the thought of Jayda being in danger popped in his head.

He hurried to drive back to her as soon as possible. Who knew what was going on with his wife? He groaned.

Fred ran inside the main swimming pools arena then his eyes rummaged through the whole place, searching for Jayda but he couldn't find her there.

Fred's heart was throbbing in fear. He knew he had asked Jayda to sit where she was and only realised how stupid he was to have left her all alone. If anything happened to her, he was going to blame himself for the rest of his life because he now treasured Jayda as his main priority.

Fred searched for her, then asked people if they had seen his wife. Well, he didn't need a picture for her identification because he doubted if there was anyone that didn't know him or his newly wedded wife.

"Fuck, no!" He exclaimed, raking his hair with his fingers. He still hadn't found her.

After a few minutes of searching, the staff who had directed Jayda to the bathroom told him about it then another woman told him that she had seen Jayda walk away with a man.

"A man?" He questioned, totally befuddled.

"Yes, they went there." She directed him towards where Charles had taken Jayda.

"Thanks a lot," he expressed his appreciation then gave both women some amount of money before dashing away to find Jayda.

What man could she be with? And why? Fred thought.

In no time, he had gotten to where he was directed to and behold, he found Jayda. He heard her voice when she yelled "help" then also heard their conservation afterward before getting to them. When she mentioned being heartbroken because of him, he could tell that he was Charles and that increased his aggravation.

Fred was more furious when Charles grazed his lips on Jayda's neck then whispered into her ears, "don't you like it? I bet your husband has never touched you this lovingly." He teased her.

Fred's brain exploded when Charles squeezed her butt cheek. What in the name of 'what the morons' was going on?!

Jayda bit Charles' arm which made him shout in pain and held his arm, freeing her from his forceful grip, then she kicked him in the balls.

Fred ran to them completely then held Charles up, grabbing his collar.

"How dare you touch my wife in such a manner?!" He barked. He was taller than Charles and obviously more muscular. The addition of that alongside his anger was just enough to kill Charles right there.

Charles got to his feet and ran as fast as he could with his injured self leaping like a moron.

"Are you okay?" Fred asked, concerned.

"I'm very fine." She chuckled.

He held her waist then kissed her lips lovingly.

Jayda tasted his blood then her sense jerked awake that he needed to be treated from his injuries.

"Dear husband, we need to get you treated." She said half-seriously.

"Thanks a lot for saving me from that bastard." She appreciated.

"It's my pleasure. Just say you love me and we're even or you'll have to pay back." He smirked as he placed his hand on the small of her back while they walked.

"You're so mean." She pouted.

"Say it," he pressed on.

"Fine. I love you." She rolled her eyes. Even though she was forced to say it, she still knew that there was no way it wasn't true.
