My Secretive Wife

EAVESDROPPING

"Why are you still sad?" CamZ asked. Though Athena tried to hide her emotion from her, she could tell the difference. 

"I just remember my parents," Athena replied, and tears ran down to her cheeks. She's been looking forward to the day that she will be able to send the Baltazars to jail, and finally, it will become a reality soon.

"You're only a step away from your revenge Athena," CamZ tried to comfort her. They're like sisters, and each time one of them is sad, they can feel the same way. 

"I know. Thank you for being there for me all these years," Athena said while wiping her tears away. 

"You're always welcome, my dear." Athena knows aside from Boss Z, CamZ is always there to support her, too. Like she is to her.

Marco entered the cabin quietly and did not see his wife in the living room and kitchen. He opened their room, and she was not there either. He decided to take a shower and looked for her after. 

Athena's study was close, so she was unaware that Marco had come back from work early as expected. She stayed on the phone talking to CamZ.

After taking a shower, Marco changed into dark blue lounge pants and plain white t-shirts. He then left the room and went to his wife's study. 

He was about to knock when he heard her talking to someone. He doesn't like eavesdropping, but he was curious. 

"Well, I'll let you go. Boss Z might be looking for you now," she said while turning off her computer. 

"Bye!"

"Bye!"

She hung up and opened the bottom drawer of her desk. Inside the drawer is a thick book that she bought a few months ago. She bought it not to read it but to hide the burner phone that CamZ gave her. She made a hole in the middle that would fit the phone perfectly. 

Athena was about to close the drawer when she heard a knock on the door. She was puzzled about who it was. 

"Come in," she said, confused. 

"Babe, I'm home!" Marco opened the door and went straight to her to hug her.

"You're early," she was confused why her husband came home early and bothered how long he's been outside her study. 'Did he hear anything?' She asked herself.

"I missed my wife," Marco planted a kiss on her forehead. 

"What keeps you busy, love?" Marco inquired. He doesn't want to force her to tell everything to him, but he wants her to trust him.

"Nothing much," she replied and tried to avoid his eyes. 

She's not a good liar. Marco figured that out long ago. He can tell if she's hiding anything from him, but he just shrugged it off. Marco doesn't care about the rest as long as he knows her love for him is true.

"What's your plan today?" He asked. He went home early to dismiss all his doubts and spend time with his wife. 

I miss walking on the beach with you and a barbeque for dinner would be good. The weather today is great! Athena likes the outdoors, and spending time with him would be fantastic.

"Okay, if you say so, Mrs. Chavez!" Marco lifted her chin and captured her lips. He's been busy after the conference and coming home late most of the time that he couldn't show his physical affection to his wife. 

Athena was carried away by his kiss that she put her arms around his neck to lessen the gap between them. She kissed him back, and Marco's kiss deepened. He kissed her hungrily like a predator eating his prey alive. 

His hands started to roam behind her. He was ruffling her hair and squeezing her behind. He then led her to their room, and a steamy afternoon began.

It was almost dark when Marco let her go. She was panting and exhausted from reaching the c****x multiple times. She exercised a lot, but still, she couldn't catch up with her husband's energy in bed. 

"W-water," she said while gasping for air. Marco got up and got some water in the kitchen.

When he returns, Athena's eyes are closed, and a smile on her face is visible. He grinned at the way his wife looked. Marco knows he completely satisfies his wife's physical needs each time they make love. Each time they finished, her face had a bright aura, and a smile lingered on her face.

Athena opened her eyes, and their eyes met. She can see the satisfaction on her husband's face making her blush.

"Thanks babe," she said while reaching for the glass of water without looking at his face.

"Anything for you, love," he said, teasing her with affection. 

Athena gulped down the water quickly, and when she looked down, she realized that Marco was n***d in front of her. She blushed at the sight and wasn't able to take her eyes off down there. 

Marco watched her as she drank the water, so he noticed that her eyes were staring at something. He looked down and realized that he did not put his boxers on. He grinned at her and teased her, "do you like what you see?" Athena looked up and grabbed a pillow, and threw it at him. "p*****t!" She turned around, grabbed her clothes on the floor, and walked out of the room. She was so embarrassed to stay in one place with him at this time. 

Athena decided to walk to the beach. She removed her sandals and played with the sands while walking. She did not notice that Marco was following her behind. 

She stopped by the big rock and climbed on top of it to sit. She watched the waves splashing through the rocks not far away from her. Not long after, Marco stopped in front of her, blocking her view.

She looked up with knitted brows. Marco ignored her questioning look.

"We're supposed to walk hand in hand here," he said in a teasing tone. 

"S-sorry," she forgot that they planned on doing that earlier before they got sidetracked. With that thought, her face turned red instantly. 

"Do you like this spot?" He asked. Marco wants to make sure that she is in her favorite spot.

"Yes, this is the best spot here," she was nodding her head while saying those words. 

Marco looked to his right, and Athena followed his sight. She saw a 4x4 truck slowly driving on the road. There are lines of trees behind the rock where she was seated and a road going to the mansion, cabin, and other parts of the property. 

She can see Nana Maria sitting in the passenger seat. They stopped where they were and started to unload the barbeque grill. There are marinated meats in different containers and some fruits and vegetables.

Nana Maria's husband, the gardener, slashed the driver on call, set up the barbeque grill, and started the fire. Nana Maria, on the other hand, set up the table. 

Nana Maria put the marinated chicken and pork when the grill was ready. There are also some hotdogs, corn, and buns. Athena stood up and helped Nana Maria with the fruits and vegetables.
