Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival

Chapter 4: “You Should be Very Slippery Down There”

Dominic's pov:

I sat in my office with my desks cleared out of all the day's appointments, reminiscing about the previous night.

My encounter with this lady who had agreed to all my selfish desires. She also melted into me last night, a little more interesting than I presumed but still so naive.

"You like her, don't you?" Desmond's voice echoed, I didn't notice him come in, was I that absent-minded?

I scoffed, trying to appear nonchalant. "Like her? You know I don't love, Desmond?”

Desmond chuckled. "Of course not. But you seem… intrigued."

I avoided my friend's gaze, running a hand through my hair. "She's… different."

"Different?" Desmond pressed.

I hesitated, searching for the right words. "I don't know. Naive and Unpredictable." I paused, a flicker of something akin to amusement crossing my face. "And she seems to have a certain… spark."

Desmond raised an eyebrow. "A good fit for the position, then?"

I took a sip of my whiskey, contemplating the question. "I think I can manage her."

Desmond smiled. "Excellent. Now, back to business. Which of the hotels do you intend on using ton…”

"Hold on," I interrupted, a determined glint in my eyes. "Have Rachel draw up the contract. I want to see it finalized today."

Desmond raised an eyebrow, surprised by my sudden urgency. "By the way," Desmond added casually, "you should know she has a five-year-old son."

I paused, and my expression turned grim. "A son?"

Desmond nodded. "Yes, a charming little boy. A bit of a handful, I hear."

I leaned back in my chair, a thoughtful expression on my face. "A son," I repeated, a strange sense of satisfaction creeping into my voice. "Interesting."

I paused, a flicker of something akin to amusement crossing my face. "Does this change anything for you?" Desmond asked, lighting up the rustic tobacco pipe he picked up from my desk.

I took a sip of my whiskey, seemingly unconcerned. "Not at all," I said, a dangerous glint entering my eyes. "In fact, it might even be… advantageous." I smiled cunningly.

Desmond was surprised. Truth is, Even I was surprised by my own words.

"Now, back to business," I said, my voice regaining its authoritative tone. "Have Rachel draw up the contract. I want to see it finalized today."

Desmond then turned around walking towards the exit. “I don't work for you Dom, but I'll send Rachel to you on my way out.”

“Don't bother,” I ordered. Few minutes after he walked out, I called my secretary and when I saw her I gave the order.

“Get your things in other, I need to see Suzanne and I need a contract marriage agreement drafted out in the next thirty minutes with the following requirements…”

She raised her hand in an attempt to speak. “Go on?” I asked. “Sir, Mr. Desmond already drafted a contract,” she paused, took out a file, handing it over to me.

I took the file. After reading through it, I saw that all my requirements were included but so was Suzanne. I had to pay for her son's treatment.

But that wasn't a problem, two million dollars was just gambling change. I asked Rachel to bring Suzanne to the courtroom while I waited for them.

Suzanne's pov:

I felt a tingle when his hands slipped to the lower of my waist and swung me around. “Uhhh,” I mourned to myself unconsciously then I heard Kai's tiny voice.

“Mommy, where is daddy?” I frowned at him, sleep still shrouding my vision and making his little view blur. I tried to say something but…

“Has he finally left us?” his eyes became bulky and teary then his lips pressed against each other as my vision became clearer.

“Come here my boy,” I pulled him into an embrace. “Mommy is not gonna leave your side, and in time, you will learn to forgive your father.” I patted his back as tears welled in my eyes.

“What is wrong with me mommy?” This question made it more difficult to gulp down the lump forming in my throat. I closed my eyes and inhaled.

“You will be fine my son,” pulling him backwards and holding his head in my hands, “Mommy will make sure of that,” I promised him, and I was going to do my path excellently.

Stella had told Desmond of my own requirements. I needed money before the marriage for my son's treatment, and some others might evolve after the marriage, but for now, that was my most important request.

“Suzanne Wright,” a sweet voice called from behind. “Who are you calling me…” she cut me off before I could finish.

“You have an appointment with the richest man in the northeast in thirty minutes. Please come with us without hesitation.” I looked at her from her red glowing pumps to her black elegant dress. She sure looked higher than my class.

“I can't leave my son alone,” I informed her, raising my brows. “Alright then,” she said and immediately made a phone call.

“Your son will be going in for his surgery in 20 minutes,” my brows knitted in confusion. “Mr. Khan has made payment for his treatment.”

The whole situation felt like a dream but I had to meet up as fast as I could. “So who will watch after Kai when I am gone?” I asked the beautiful lady.

Just then two nurses appeared. “We have been assigned to look after Kai till complete recovery,” one of them said, smiling.

I looked around, the pace at which things just switched!!!

“Shall we?” the Lady asked and I nodded. I turned around and kissed my boy on his forehead.

“These nurses will give you anything you need and they will make you feel better. Mommy has to sign a deal that will change our lives. Wait for me okay?” he nodded and hugged me once more before letting me go.

***

We arrived at the City Hall and I watched in nervousness how my life had taken turns and twists in a space of three days.

Inside was well-lit, Dominic and Desmond stood at a corner while the clerk sat in his seat. “You go in alone from here,” the beautiful lady said whilst smiling. I nodded at her and walked down the hall.

“Excuse me, I have to be here as well,” I heard Stella's voice from outside, and then I saw her rushing towards me.

I took a sit and looked at Dominic. But when his eyes met mine I couldn't continue staring at his well-built physique. He was a bit old but he looked sexy enough to handle any age.

“So you are to be my wife?” his voice creased the back of my neck alongside his breath, sending shivers down my spine. I swallowed hard instantly and smiled like a doll.

“Thank you for taking care of my son.” I looked into his eyes, but I couldn't handle the tension it caused in my body and I immediately looked away.

“Can you please me sexually?” my eyes blinked a couple of times before I could say; “Uhm, I believe I can try, but my experience isn't versatile.”

He gave me a signal to stand up, then he inspected my body with his eyes. “Turn around, slowly.” As I moved my hips from side to side while turning, a naughty smile played across Dominic's lips.

What is he up to!!!

“Mmm, you should be very slippery down there,” he murmured. “What?” I asked, in a haste to face him my booty juggled and Dominic pulled me closer, into an unexpected kiss.

Suddenly, my eyes closed as I found myself kissing him passionately, and then abruptly he pulled me aback. He licked his lips and took a deep breath.

“Let us get this marriage over with.” his deep dominating voice spoke.

A million things flew through my mind, a thousand and one questions.
