Chapter 23
Aurora had just finished cleaning up. Wearing a slightly thin nightgown, she stepped out of the bathroom with her hair loose and still half wet.
Alex, who was sitting leaning on the bed while working on something from behind his tablet, immediately fell silent and watched. He observed carefully while pondering inwardly.
For some reason, Alex felt that Aurora looked exceptionally beautiful and sexy tonight. Especially as the curves of her body were clearly visible through the satin nightgown she wore.
“You’re not sleeping? What are you working on?” Aurora asked casually. She then sat next to Alex, getting ready to pull up the covers.
“I’m reading the emails that came in. But, I’m done with it now.”
Alex then placed his tablet on the nightstand. Shifting positions, he slowly approached Aurora.
“You look absolutely gorgeous tonight,” he genuinely praised.
“So, wasn’t I beautiful before?” Aurora retorted.
Alex hurriedly shook his head. In his eyes, Aurora looked even more beautiful than usual.
“No, that’s not what I meant. Everyone knows you’re beautiful, Aurora. It’s just that tonight you look even more beautiful and sexy than usual.”
Alex continued to move closer. Leaning in, he suddenly planted a wet kiss on Aurora’s left cheek. As if ignited by desire, he even tried to reach for Aurora’s body and pull her into an embrace.
Aurora was taken aback. Especially when Alex brought his hands to firmly squeeze her breasts.
“Alex.”
Aurora shook her head, signaling Alex to stop his actions.
“I miss you, Aurora,” Alex whispered with pleading eyes. His voice sounded hoarse, perhaps filled with passion. “It’s been so long since we last made love. I even forgot when was the last time I touched you. I—”
“I can’t do what you want. I’m on my period.”
Aurora lied deliberately. She was not willing to serve a man who clearly betrayed her and even spilled his seed on another woman.
Meanwhile, Alex sighed deeply. Disappointed that once again his desire to have sex with Aurora failed. Even though he was already so tempted. In such a situation, he had to find Nicole tomorrow to fulfill his long-delayed desires.
“Alright then, it’s okay. I’ll wait until you’re ready.”
Alex then turned around. Closing his eyes, he chose to go to sleep immediately. While Aurora followed suit. The difference was, at two in the morning, she woke up again. As planned, Aurora slowly reached for Alex’s phone lying on the nightstand.
Fortunately, from the beginning, Alex didn’t set a password on his phone. Perhaps intentionally so Aurora wouldn’t become suspicious. Or perhaps he had been playing clever all this time.
Afraid that Alex would wake up from his sleep, Aurora quickly opened the contacts on Alex’s phone. She searched for Sandy’s name and copied his phone number immediately.
Initially, Aurora wanted to return her husband’s phone immediately. But, it occurred to her to check it while she was at it. Who knows if Alex had something stored there.
First, Aurora opened the WhatsApp feature. She went through all personal and group chats one by one. But, there was not even a hint of anything suspicious. Even the picture and email features were not exempt from Aurora’s scrutiny. Unfortunately, she didn’t find anything there either.
Aurora felt annoyed with herself. Until shortly after, she remembered one feature that almost slipped her mind. Short message service or SMS. She opened and checked from the bottom of the list. But, still, the result was nil.
As she was about to close the messaging feature, Aurora’s eyes suddenly fixed on the ‘delete message’ icon there. She opened it very carefully. And there it was… gotcha! Aurora found what she was looking for.
There was one number that had a history of thousands of deleted messages. Aurora tried to click on recovery, then she could read the messages that had been sent to the trash.
From there, Aurora could guess that the number belonged to Nicole. How she lied that there were many messages containing disgusting flirtatious words.
Nicole: Darling, the weather outside is so cold. Don’t you want to warm up with me?NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Aurora rolled her eyes. Fed up with all the messages she read.
“Does Nicole think she’s a stove? She even claims she can warm up Alex.”
Aurora wanted to speak out loudly. No matter what, she felt ridiculous. She almost felt like vomiting seeing the array of pictures Nicole had sent to her husband.
Just imagine, there were so many photos Nicole sent. From wearing sexy dresses. Lingerie in various colors. She even sent nearly naked photos.
Not wanting to miss out, Aurora then took photos of the intimate messages Alex had sent to Nicole. Anyway, she would use everything as evidence for later when she sued her husband.
“Enjoy your little game while you can. When it’s my turn to take over, I’ll make sure neither of you can live in peace.”
