Chapter 16: Asher's POV: Jealousy

I watched him carry her and spun her around, I could feel my blood boiling. I wanted to grab her and take her away from him but I just watched them angrily. They went to a sit and sat down. He kept telling her something excitedly and she kept smiling.

' How dare he touch my woman, my wife. If he wasn't her friend for so long I would have broken his hands' I glared at them as they continued their chat. Melissa looked in my direction and met my glaring eye and turned away like she didn't see me.

" What? Oh now she's acting like she didn't see me after acting like she didn't know me" I murmured angrily. I watched as he held her hand and made a face and she laughed. " And now they are holding hands? Is this why she insisted on workings? So she could go around holding hands with him?" I was so angry, I was feeling my heart burning with jealousy. I had never felt that way before, not in my entire life. I folded my hands around my chest.

" Do I smell Jealousy, sir?" I heard Jason ask

" Shut it Jason" I snapped. " Go pay up."I stood up and started walking towards the door not before giving my wife and the guy she was sitting with a dirty look. I felt like pushing the guy as I walked past them. I was suddenly hating him so much.

" Should we head home now sir?" Jason asked as he came to meet me outside the coffee shop. I just entered the car instead, These past few days have been mentally draining. My misery increased a few days ago, It was Friday and I normally go to a brothel for the old and then to my penthouse. But that day I just wanted to go to the house, I wanted to see her face even though I didn't know why. I didn't know if it was the way I reacted to her when she took milk. I wanted to tease her, so I went home without informing Nancy of my arrival. When I opened the door and walked in she froze completely where she was, it looked like she was about to go to her room. She was wearing a light short nightwear that hung around her body, my heart raced when I saw her. I was sure Nancy told her I wouldn't be coming back else she would never wear that knowing I would come back. This was an opportunity to tease her. I smirked, it was going to be fun to tease her. She tensed up every time I got close since she thought I would have sex with her, it was hilarious to see. As I walked closer to her, she suddenly started moving backwards. I could see she did it absent-mindedly since she was already so scared of me " Hello Mrs Kelvin." I said as I stood in front of her smiling. " Hello Mr Kelvin" She responded with that same calm tone. This was one thing I liked so much about her, she would remain calm no matter how scared she was.

" Why are you so scared? " I was observing her as I said this waiting for what her reply would be but of course, I knew she would deny that she was scared. " Me? No am not scared" Came her reply. I was smiling now, she was indeed a bad liar.

" Why did you move back then? Am pretty sure if there was space behind you'd still be moving back." I asked her instead, she was cursing me inside as I watched her, I wanted to laugh but I held my laughter.

" It's nothing like that, You misunderstood me. I was about to go to my room." She tried to explain, she was looking for a way to escape and I kept watching her to see what she would do.

" Can I go now?" I could barely hear her voice as she said this.

" We haven't done anything since our wedding, how about we start from here? No one will interrupt us." I was enjoying teasing her" Should we go to the room then?" I continued as I kept smiling mischievously.

"Sir..." She tried but couldn't say anything.

" We should start here then" I bent my head like I was going to kiss her and she looked completely scared.

She pushed me back thinking I might fall or move back but I didn't even move. I just kept bending my head like I was going to kiss. she tried to move back but I didn't give her any space to move to. She turned her head away but I gently turned her head back. She tried to push me back again but I still didn't move, instead I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to me. We were so close I could feel her breath, I could smell the food she ate in her breath, I knew she could feel mine too. At that moment I knew if I continued it wouldn't end well for me, my heart was beating so fast and I could feel my body tensing up but I didn't want to stop. Suddenly she lifted both hands and covered her mouth with it.

" It's not like you haven't done this before, just consider this one of them only that it's with an older man this time," I whispered in her ears but she didn't say anything. My hand moved from her waist to her back and she flinched, I watched her as she held her breath. She was too tensed 'I know I was looking old and all but she shouldn't be this tensed, no she looked too scared. It couldn't be that she hadn't done this before, could it? Nah that's not possible' I kept thinking as I watched her. " Wait, you haven't done this before?" I suddenly asked her, I was still teasing her, but I wanted to hear her say Of course she had. I raised her cheek slightly with my free hand when she didn't answer me and waited for a reply, But she didn't say anything.

I looked into her eyes, as I studied her. There was something about those eyes that made me hold my breath, they were hazel green, I had never looked at her that close, my stomach was twisting so much and I could feel myself becoming nervous. "Are you a Virgin?" I managed to ask, my voice lower. She was quiet for a while before nodding. I didn't want to believe it, how? does that still happen? wasn't she suppose to be in a relationship?

" weren't you been in a relationship for over 3 years? " I was bearly able to keep the amusement of my voice. She nodded again.

" Then why didn't you? Didn't you love him?" I asked again cause I was finding it so hard to believe.

" I did love him" She finally answered after what seemed like an eternity. Her answer sent a sharp pain to my heart. The idea of her loving anyone was getting me so angry, If only I could tell her to take it back. 'Why was it so painful to hear her say she loved another man?' I couldn't understand how I was feeling.

I looked into her eyes for some time then left her waist, before turning back and walking into my room. I could hear her footsteps as she ran to her room. My heart was beating so fast I could hardly hear a thing. I had gotten close to her just to tease her but it didn't end well for me, I suffered instead.
