Chapter 14: 14. Miscalculation

Clothes were scattered on the floor. The room was heated-filled with lusty moans and groans. The man and the woman entangled each other. Their hot breath raced, and their skin glistened with sweat. They lose their mind as their bodies build up sensations. When they reached the climax, screams came out of their mouths-calling each other’s names.

“William ....”

“Paula!”

It was a big and long orgasm. Their bodies were full of ecstasy. The couple collapsed, bumping their tired body onto the bed-the messy one of course. Their breath paced up, trying to cool their lust down.

William’s eyes shut out of satisfaction, making Paula feel relief because she could fulfill her husband’s needs. As well as hers.

The woman pulled up the thick bed sheet to cover her exposed skin. Recently, she easily got nauseous if she left her skin uncovered. She didn’t know why she turned that fragile.

“Paula, have you been more energetic lately? Why?” William asked curiously. He couldn’t even sit up because she made him drain his energy. “Look, I can’t move even a finger!”

.....

“Oh, huh? Aren’t you the weak one?” Paula teased while showing a nosy smile while pinching her husband’s cheek affectionately.

William, who was annoyed and felt humiliated, forced himself to sit back and executed Paula once again. He didn’t care about Paula’s screams and asking for a break. William was really angry that he had been belittled.

“What an ungrateful wife! You want me to teach you a lesson, don’t you?” William protested angrily.

“My goodness, William! Sorry!” Paula screamed.

That’s Paula and William’s morning weekend. They both woke up late until the sun was very high. Of course, they both skipped breakfast to the point where shifting was so hard to do.

Paula decided to order food through the app only because she couldn’t cook. Then, she remembered something was off.

“William, how come you never see Lea again? It’s been a month already,” Paula asked curiously. She’s been busy lately with procuring a new menu for her bakery so she didn’t pay much attention to William’s schedule. “Did you see her without telling me?” Again, Paula’s suspicious question made her heart squeeze, like a suppressed jealousy.

“Lea is very busy-she said. She already started working. The boss may be fierce,” William replied, who was still half asleep. He scratched his head uncomfortably as he watched Paula get off the bed. As usual, she always looked graceful and charming in his eyes.

“Are you sure?” Paula asked to confirm the real reason. Deep down, Paula was happy that William had been paying more attention to her lately. The woman likes to be cared for and pampered, unlike her old self who used to be indifferent even though many men showered her with sweet and luxurious gifts. “You didn’t intentionally ignore her, yes?”

“Hmm, what a strange wife. You told me to pay attention to other women. How can? Are you ready to replace me with someone else? Am I not strong enough for you?” William teased Paula. Of course, he was just throwing a joke. However, his words were enough to make her heart skip a beat.

Not wanting him to see her blushing cheeks, she immediately walked away to clean up the messy room. Unfortunately, her heart was still beating wildly. Indeed, his loving and tender side made her grow a feeling for him. She was sure it was love. She had been trapped by her own game.

“Gosh, this is so unprofessional and irresponsible! You can’t go on like this, stupid Paula,” Paula mumbled to herself in a low whisper as she patted her face. She started to pick up the clothes that were scattered on the floor and hurriedly throw them into the washing machine in the kitchen. “Don’t get carried away!”

“What is it? How come you’ve been so weird lately?” William asked. He suddenly appeared in the kitchen and took an empty glass from the drawer beside Paula, making the woman jump in surprise.

“Ah? I don’t think so,” Paula replied, hiding the shock that made her heart dance with no music.

It couldn’t be denied anymore. It must have been love. However, having promised that there would be no love in their marriage, Paula tried her best to suppress those feelings. She needed to always remember the existence of Lea. Undoubtedly, Paula would immediately realize that she had no place in William’s heart.

While waiting for the food, Paula forced herself into the bathroom to clean up even though she was lazy. She let the warm water flush her body, trying to get rid of her stress. However, she suddenly remembered one other thing that she paid no attention to because of her tight schedule. Something so important that made her finish the shower quickly and rush back to her room to check her cell phone.

“Good grief!” Paula shrieked as she covered her mouth so William wouldn’t hear.

William, who was playing with his cell phone, was surprised to see Paula’s strange reaction. “What’s wrong? Why are you pacing up like that?”

Paula glared at William. But her mouth said nothing. Then, the sound of the doorbell caught their attention.

“Eh, please get the pizza, Will,” Paula asked quickly because she wanted to change the subject.

William nodded and grabbed a clean and fresh T-shirt from the wardrobe. He rushed downstairs to pick up his wallet.

Inhaled deeply, Paula threw herself onto the bed. What other disaster was she currently facing?

“Why? Didn’t he always wrap his dick?” Paula cursed angrily. She kept changing her position so that her sore body felt more comfortable.

“Missing my period doesn’t mean I’m pregnant, yes?” Paula murmured, trying to calm herself down. She then sent a message to an obstetrician through an app. The doctor told her that she wasn’t pregnant if her partner always used contraception during intercourse. Her busy schedule could also make her miss the period. But, to make sure, she had to check it with the pregnancy test.

After finishing lunch, Paula then put on her clothes and immediately ran to the door. “William, I’m going out for a minute, okay?”

“Uh, where are you going?”

“I’m going to phar-Pharos,” Paula answered. She had almost mistakenly said she was going to the pharmacy. Instead, she mentioned the name of the nearest gym around.

“Just wait for me, then!” William went into the room to change his cloth into his workout costume.

“Oh, William ...,” Paula’s plan to sneak out for buying a pregnancy test had failed. Instead, she had to spend time with her husband at the gym.

“Aren’t you afraid that Lea will find out if we go to the gym together like this?” Paula asked doubtfully. She and William never spent time together outside the house.

William shook his head. “Lea already knows that we are already very close like friends. She must understand. In the past, I also went out often with some girls and Lea was never angry with me,” William explained with a sincere smile.

Paula could only reply with a smile as her throat suddenly felt dry. She turned her face away from William so he wouldn’t see the tears welling up in her eyes.
