Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

Sneaky moves.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

I knew what I was about to do was wrong, as it went against my principles, but I couldn't help myself. My hands moved involuntarily as I typed in a password. Jared had mentioned in the car that his password was my name, right? Well, it was time to find out. I typed my name, and to my amazement, the phone unlocked. I clicked on the message box, and on Sofia's messages.

"Hey, are you done bathing?"

"Will you come keep me company after you're done?"

"Why aren't you responding? Is Arielle awake?"

"Are you ignoring me?"

"Jared!!!!"

"I can't sleep. Come down, and let's go outside and look at the stars, just like we did when we were teenagers."

"You promised me at the hospital's garden that we would stargaze, remember?"

Angrily, I muted the phone and dropped it back on the couch. How shameless can Sofia be? She should be asleep, and not texting a married man to go out at night to stargaze with her.

I returned to the bed, disturbed. Sleep had fled my eyes at this point, and all I craved was to march to Sofia's room and warn her to know her boundaries. But I thought against it, trying to gain control over my anger.

Jared returned to the room a few minutes later, and I quickly pretended to be asleep. I watched him beneath my lashes, as he walked over to his phone and picked it up. He tapped on it, and glanced at the screen for a moment. Swiftly, he turned to face me, but I still lay in pretence of being asleep.
