James pov

I woke up from my deep sleep. It is early in the morning. My neck was hurting. I placed my fingers there and started massaging the portion. Now the study has become my bedroom. I slept there last night and most of my nights. I walked to my room. Looking at the bedroom, it was still closed. The cat is still sleeping, I assumed. I get up from another bathroom and go for a walk. Going for a walk is not my usual thing. But now I feel like I need it.

My mind is full of mixed feelings. These months changed my lifestyle.
I walked through it sideways. There are a few people on the roads. The sky was just getting clear. The roads have droplets of water. The climate made me chill. I put on the cap of my hoodie and rubbed my palms. I continued my walk for a bit and returned to my home.

The cat was preparing breakfast. She was running here and there.
"I don't want breakfast," I told her. She looked at me for a bit and hummed. I could see worry in her eyes. She is worried about me. But I don't want her to worry. I don't want anything from her, but I can't let her go either. I remember Catherine having to meet her mom today. So she won't be home until the evening.

I looked through my shirts. Catherine has already ironed my shirts and hung them in the wardrobe very neatly. I put on a navy blue shirt and took off my coat. Getting downstairs, she was nowhere to be seen. I went to the car and drove straight to her house.

I put the key in the keyhole and opened the door. There is she. Elena. She is wearing a pink silk night dress. I can easily figure out what is inside the dress. She has a naughty smile plastered on her face. I know what she wanted. I can no longer wait. My hands were all over her body. The pretty little clothes were ripped off. She made small noises. I don't make love to her. It is always hard and rough, which I can't do with Catherine. We ended up in bed. The house is filled with our groans and moans. There is no place here where we don't have sex. She still has energy for the next round. We did it again and again and lay in bed.

She placed her head on my chest and started drawing with her fingers lightly.

"James, how long are we going to continue like this? " Elena's question was a shock for me. She never asked me anything like this before.
"Why did you ask suddenly? " I questioned her. I was looking at the ceiling.
"I don't want to continue like a dirty little secret of yours," she answered slowly.

"But you were okay with this," I remember that she was the one who came up with this idea. She only wanted my attention. My time. No commitments. She was alone, and me? I am a man. I have needs. Catherine was in the hospital.

"I was. But now I am not okay with this," her voice changed. I am not familiar with her tone. She was always sweet and understanding. I can behave however I want with her because she will understand.

"What about Catherine? " I asked her. Now she has all my attention.
"Divorce her," she said like it was an easy thing. I could never imagine divorcing her. I can't afford that. It will become a problem.
"Why are you silent now? Do you still love her? " she asked.
How can I answer that? She is my wife. It is not easy, as it looks. But what got into her head? Why is Elena asking for more? I have bought all the luxurious items she wanted. I spent more time here than with Catherine. Why can't she live like this?
"Eleanor, you got everything you wanted. Did I ever say no to any of your demands? But this is something out of league," I said to her.

"James, you have to think about my situation. Everyone knows you as Catherine's husband. Do you know how much it hurts me? I can't freely go out with you. I can't introduce you as mine to anyone. "Her eyes are filled with water. She sat on the bed.
I put my hand around her and pulled her towards me.
"If I get a divorce, it will be a stain on my life," I answered, hoping she would stop with this. I want Elena, but I can't replace her with Catherine.

She didn't respond to it. I think she may have understood what I was saying.

"Okay, I'm leaving," I said, putting on my shirt. Elena came behind me. She started touching my hand.
"Take off today," she continued.
"I took a lot of leaves for you. Now there is a pile of files on my table. I went to take my keys.
She stopped and pushed herself towards me.Please." "His seductive voice made me gulp.
"Ok, I will come early today," she smiled and moved the way for me.

I reached the office. I was late. Everyone said good morning, but there was no sincerity in it. I entered the cabin.

Gossiper 1: He is late. It has become his habit.
Gossiper 2: After all, he is coming. Last month, he was absent for two straight weeks. This month, he is here for 5 or 6 days.
Gossiper 3: I sent Trevor's file to him last week, and it is still there. I don't know what he is doing all day.
Gossiper 1: Do you know, guys, I have looked for other jobs?
Gossip 2: Why?
Gossiper 1: Are you asking why? I am sure that this company is going bankrupt.
Gossip 3: bankruptcy. What do you mean?
Gossiper 1: Yeah. Two major companies have withdrawn their shares from here.
Gossipers 2 and 3: Oh my god. Are you serious?
Gossiper 1: Yeah. Mr. Jordan is also worried about his company.
Gossiper 2: Oh, Lord. What are we going to do?
Gossip 3: These businesses can rise and fall very easily.
Gossiper 2: Yeah, and you know I saw him with a woman outside of our office.
Gossiper 1: What?
Gossiper 2: Yes.
Gossiper 1: Maybe it is his relative. If his wife looks like a model, then why should he go for another woman?
Gossip 3: But it is common in rich people.
Gossiper 2: Yeah. When I was...

SILENCE!!!!!!

It was Josephine, James's assistant. She is a middle-aged woman. She stopped the gossipers in the middle and marched towards the boss's cabin.

Josephine came to my cabin and placed a bunch of other files.

"Josephine, I am a human," I groaned.
She doesn't utter a word. Maybe she is bored of repeating the same thing.
I took a file from them and started reading.

Time skip

At almost six, I got a message from Catherine. I opened the text and read.

James, can you pick me up? My car broke down.

She attached the location to it.

What the hell? Where is she?

OK. Wait for me.

I messaged back. She doesn't ask for this kind of help. I put the files back and assigned the work to others. They have a mocking smile on their faces, which I ignored.

"You are leaving," Josephine asked.
"Yeah, something important came," I answered honestly.
"Mr. Jordan called. He asked you to call him back, she said, walking out.
"Why did Dad call in the office number? " I called him.

"Dad," I called.
"Mr. Wills called me today," he directly said.
"Dad, I can manage with others," I assured.
"Two companies have withdrawn their shares from your company; now Wills has rejected this proposal. What are you planning?" His voice is rising.
"If you can't manage the company, you better give it to your sister, "he said, leaving no space for me.
"It is not like what you think? " I started.
"Then what is it? enlight me. Our company matter became a talking point in society. You better keep your word," he hangs up.

I am furious. It is not easy to manage a company, and I am doing my maximum. I went to my car and drove towards Elena. She was at home, sitting on a chair, reading a magazine. She turned the page. I ran towards her and started fucking her mercilessly. She was crying, and I didn't care. I vent all my anger at her.

"You like it right? "You like it when I am angry," I asked her. She whimpered. I didn't stop there. I continue to assault her body. I dragged her to the bedroom and fucked her. She was enjoying it. Her eyes were rolling up. She was asking something in between, but I didn't hear anything. I continued pounding harshly on her.
