13 I want to try

Luke.

Ever since the kiss between Tia and Caleb, I had been guarded towards her. I spent long hours in the

office and always came home late. Tia was hanging out a lot with Caleb, and every time I sat in the

office, all I could do was picture them together. I did not know why it bothered me, but it did, and it hurt.

I knew she was deliberately avoiding breakfast, and I did not bother her because Stacy was obnoxious

towards her. I knew Stacy had been reporting her a lot, but when my father linked me and insisted I

come with Tia, I knew something must be off, but then again, I remembered Kimberly had joined us, and

I thought they only wanted us to have breakfast together.

Hearing the old video of Elisabeth and me playing on Tia’s phone got me mad. I did not know why

Elisabeth refused to move on. I still sent her money and urged her to move on, but I did not realise she

was tormenting my wife with old videos of us when we were together. I knew she was hurting, but she

wasn’t the only victim in this. She had the freedom to fall in love again and move on, but Tia and I were

stuck together. If Tia leaves, my father will cast her and her parents out because he viewed her as an

asset, and I also knew it had a lot to do with his ego. I dared not leave her. I was putting effort, but she

had her eyes locked on Caleb, and I could not compete with her long time crush. Maybe after seeing

Kimberly with him, she would have the courage to move on with her life.

Tia’s outburst during breakfast amazed me, but I could see that she had a lot bottled up. I also believed

the messages Elisabeth kept sending, my absence, and the tension with Caleb and Stacy’s wickedness

caused it. Her hands shook while she spoke, and my father was stunned. The woman had finally

cracked.

I stopped Stacy from slapping her. She could say and do as she liked, but I would never allow her to lay

hands on my wife. That was the line. My father’s response was shocking. Even after he showed me the

photos and Tia’s lace panties that had her sent on them, I was still disappointed. There were better ways

to handle the matter. If the pictures were genuine, Caleb was just as guilty as she was. My father’s

response was wicked.

I had to drag my wife out of the breakfast lounge. It was challenging, but I had to do it. I watched her

shake from fear on the bed, and my heart broke. The woman was too young for all this. Stacy did not

spare me all my life; I shouldn’t be surprised that she would spare Tia. When Tia told me it wasn’t true, I

believed her. I knew she had a crush on Caleb, but I also knew she had her dignity and would never

stoop so low. I held her because I knew at that moment she needed comfort. I promised myself that I

would investigate.

Caleb was able to clear Tia’s name, and my father had sent his wife away temporarily to reflect on her

action. That wasn’t the first time he would do that, and that wouldn’t be the last. I wasn’t happy with him

still. The amount of hatred he visited on Tia when he believed the lies were unfair. Tia was very young,

and she was prone to mistakes. He did not treat her as he would his daughter. He treated her like an

object he had purchased and could discard. I knew if it weren’t for the fear that her parents would be cast

out, my wife would run away.

overtime at the office to get paid extra. I wanted to surprise Tia. I believed being couped up in that house

was not helping her let go of her crush, and it wasn’t giving us time to know each other. Even if we would

never be lovers, we could at least be friends. So I

decided I would surprise her with a trip to a nice resort, away from Caleb, my father and all the drama

that came with the Moons.

I got home and found her sleeping. It was two in the morning, and I did not expect her to be awake. I had

been paid, so I was ready to tell her about our trip. I showered and went to check on her before I go to

bed. I noticed something protruding from under her pillow, and I checked to see it. I smiled when I saw

what it was. My wife was making sure she was self sufficient with the right tools. It was a vibrator, and I

wished I was home to watch her like I did last time. The image was burned in my memory, and I hoped

that she would moan that way for me someday.

I woke up in the morning and looked toward Tia’s room. She was reading a book on the bed. I looked at

the clock, and it was nine in the morning. I overslept. I got up and went to the bathroom, freshened up

and returned to the room.

“Good morning, Tia,” I said, and she looked up at me with her beautiful brown eyes and smiled.

“Good morning,” she replied. Her smile let me know that the orgasm she gave herself must have taken

some edge off.

“Have you eaten,” I asked her, and she shook her head, which surprised me?

“Was waiting for you to wake up so we can eat together before you go out,” She said, and I knew what

she meant about going out. It was time to tell her the truth.

We went to the lounge together, and we ate in silence. “Tia,” I said, and she looked at me,” I want us to

spend two weeks at the beach resort,” and she widened her eyes.

“Me?” She asked, a bit confused.

“Yes, you,” I said, and she was silent. I boldly reached for her hand, and she let me touch it. “I want to try,

Tia,” I said, and she jerked her hands away from mine. “I am not a fool, Luke,” she said, and I heard a

crack in her voice.

A

“I am not with Elisabeth. I broke up with her a week before I married you, Tia. Those videos are old. She

is desperate.” I said, and she shook her head.

“Stop lying. You go to her every night. Everyone knows. Everyone knows.” she said, sounding angry, and

I did not know that my absence would affect her that much. I shook my head quickly.

“I leave the room and drive about, then come home. I know if I stay, I would touch you, and you are not

ready for that.” I said, and she looked at me.

“I do not believe you,” She said, and I bowed my head.

“Please, Tia. I am not with Elisabeth. Look at me,” I said, and she looked at me.

“Would I lie to you about that?” I asked, and she was silent.

“When I came to your house, I was angry. Stacy had said some things, and I wanted to know. I said

many insensitive things I can never take back, and I am sorry. I do not think it is fair for us to be

miserable when we can get to know each other and try,” I said, and her face faltered.

“The office?” She asked quietly.

“I was working overtime, so I could get extra money to book for the resort,” I said to her, and she relaxed

a bit.

“As much as I would like to go to the beach resort, I do not want to have issues with Elisabeth. “She said

gently, and I touched her hand.

“I am not with Elisabeth. I do not have a mistress. I am not seeing anyone,” I said to her, “I tried to tell

you that day that she sent you the video, but you shut me up,” I said to her, and I knew she did not

believe me, but she was willing.

“Okay,” she said, agreeing, and I smiled.

We returned to our bedroom, and we sat at the foot of her bed while we went through the resort’s

website to book.

“Should we book a room with double beds?” I asked her, and she nodded. I was sad about it, but I knew

she needed time.

Fortunately for me, only their honeymoon chalet was available, and Tia said we should take it.

We packed our stuff, and Bart helped take the bags to the car; Caleb accosted us on our way out of the

Mansion.

“Luke!” he called out to me, and I got pissed off. When would this guy stop?

“What is it?” I answered him.

“Please, Luke. Let her go, don’t do this,” he pleaded with me as if I wanted to do something sinister to my

wife.

“Mind your damn business and stop troubling me and my wife, Caleb. You had your chance, and you

blew; why won’t you just let her be?” I asked him.

“You know she loves me, Luke. You have someone you love, and she loves you back. Don’t take her

from me,” He pleaded.

“Your mother took her from you when she forced our father to purchase her for me. And stop spewing

that nonsense about Elisabeth and me. Stop filling Tia’s head with lies. Elisabeth and I are no more. I

broke up with her a week before my wedding. Please, Caleb. This is not healthy. Move on and leave Tia

alone. There is a pregnant girl in there crazy about you,” I said, and he flared up.

“Don’t tell me what to do. I do not want Kimber..” He said, and I cut him short. “You should have thought

about what you wanted before sleeping with her. You should have told father how you felt about Tia.” I

said and started walking away from him.

“Tia, please don’t believe his lies! Luke is a monster!” he yelled at my wife, and I flinched at that word. I

went to the driver’s seat, started the car and drove off. I was angry, furious. I looked at Tia, and she just

stared ahead.

“I promise you will have some peace and quiet at the resort Tia,” I said to my wife, and she nodded

slightly. Tia remained silent all through the drive. I hope this vacation will improve our relationship. If

nothing, I hoped we could be friends.
