His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 56

You better straight be coming home!

“To my room.”

I did neither of those things. Ignoring Gabriel wasn’t one of my strong traits, because I thought of him every ten seconds that I went shopping to buy a birthday present for Anna. That was when I swiped Gabriel’s card the second time.

He called. I let it ring to voicemail. He knew I was safe because he could dial my bodyguard anytime and know my exact location, and because of the second transaction notification he would’ve got from Channel.

By then, another text had followed.

‘Freckles, I’m not a patient man.”

I was going to make him wait nonetheless. He has rejected my subtle advances over the weeks, not giving me as much as a kiss and now, suddenly, he’s turned on and desperate because I was at a se* toy shop?

Not happening.

As proud as I was that my little scheme brought out the reaction t was hoping to get from him, I failed to make him wait.

I was so sexually frustrated, I wanted sex. I wanted release. I wanted him.

Forty minutes after his last text, I went home.

Oddly enough, there was no one waiting in the living room. Lur usually did, ready to chirp about her day and ask me about mine. That’s the kind of friendship we had developed over the months, and it was surprising she wasn’t around.

“Luna?” I called for her while dropping my bag on the couch, and my voice eerily echoed back to me.

I headed to the kitchen next, just to pour myself a glass of water. The cook wasn’t there either. She wasn’t always here, but at this time she was since we had soon after.
