The Only Man Chapter 38

I was startled when I felt a big, hairy arm wrapped tightly around my waist from behind, he kissed my cheek making me suddenly hit him in the face until he fell backwards

“damn!!”

My friend lisa was surprised

“Devya, what are you doing. Why did you do this to your ex?!”

Ex? Oh yeah, I remember...Freshy was my ex when we broke up in high school because he moved to Australia with his parents.

"You're back?"

"Thanks for the welcome, this really hurts dev." He kept touching the corners of his bleeding lips

"I'm sorry Freshy, let me help you get up."

I held his hand and helped him get up, he looked at me pitifully

"this hurts so much dev, don't you feel sorry for me?"

"then what should I do?" I asked worriedly seeing the blood on the corner of his lips pouring out more and more

"Sorry, I forgot something. I have an appointment with my office mate, sorry."

Lisa left us she left in a hurry leaving me still in guilt.

Freshy and I looked at each other, I saw him coughing making all the blood come out. I panicked even more as the wound became more visible.

"Fresh, let's just go to the hospital now. Come on, I'm really sorry."

I repeatedly apologized to him

"No need, just give me medical expenses."

"cost?" I furrowed my brows very anxiously because I didn't bring much money

"Oh no, it looks like the wound is getting worse, what should I do it looks like an operation."

No, the operation cost is huge I don't have much money for it since all the money is held by Axen.

"why? You have no money?”

“What if I pay for it with something else?”

I saw Freshy smiling at me

"Are you sure you want to pay for what you have done to me, Devya?"

"Yes, what?"

Freshy pulled my arm to get close to His

"Be my secretary."

I was shocked, how could that be? I became his secretary who had to be with him all the time and then left my twins and my husband?

"Not every time, only when I call you you have to come, how?"

I look nervous and worried but this is all my fault and I just nod in agreement.

"Okay, since you have agreed to be my secretary then let me treat you to dinner."

"Y-yes alright."

My hand was gripped tightly by him, he took me to the car and immediately took me to a restaurant in an elite complex

“Are you sure you want to eat here? Aren't you afraid that all the food here is expensive?”

Freshy laughed out loud maybe because I spoke strangely or there was something on my face

"You're so cute, adorable."

"Fresh, I'm serious."

"serious? I'm serious about you too."

I'm so annoyed that pinching His waist makes His wince

"What are you doing, this hurts." Freshy laughed at me

"You are very annoying!!" I was annoyed with him then walked into the restaurant leaving him still near the car

Tonight, I'm with my freshy ex having dinner together

"do you like it?" freshy asked me after seeing how much I enjoyed the food I ordered

“This is so delicious, I love it.”

Freshy laughed, confusing me. He took a tissue and rubbed the corners of my lips.

“Sorry, because I hit you you can only drink juice. It will definitely hurt if you eat something.”

"It's okay, I will forgive you if you keep your promise to me."

"Sure, I'll do it."

Freshy touched my hand, he looked at me with pitying eyes

"You know what time it is?"

"No, I forgot to bring my watch."

"Twelve at night, do you want to stay at my house? I'm afraid that if I take you home there will be an accident because I'm very sleepy."

I thought again, I think I don't mind his invitation anyway Axen will be home in the morning.

"Sure, I'll stay."

“You are so adorable thanks dev.”

I smiled and nodded.

After returning from the restaurant, we were immediately inside Freshy's house which has three floors. He showed us many photo albums of memories from our school days.

"Here, you look very fierce but not now you are very cute."

I laughed and hit his shoulder lightly

“You are so annoying Freshy, let me teach you a little lesson.”

I pulled his head and lightly hit his head

"You are very annoying!"

"You dare your boss?"

Freshy tickled my waist made me laugh out loud we both laughed and lay on the same bed.

"dev."

"Hmm?"

His hand gently caressed my hair he looked into my eyes with a sad look

"What, hmm?" I asked again

"I forgot to play music."

We both burst out laughing, he was so cute he looked at me seriously just to talk if he forgot to play the music.

“Oh my gosh, you really are Freshy. Staring at me just to say you forgot to play music?”

He walks over to play music, it's been a long time I haven't been at this point of enjoyment. Listening to music in a relaxed manner that can make me calm

"devya, don't go away from me again?"

"Are you asking or are you asking me to stay with you."

He laughs, his hands caressing my head and stroking my hair making me sleepy and slowly closing my eyes.

“Freshy, please turn off the light.”

I feel very peaceful listening to soft music which makes me calm and sleep more soundly.

"Am I lacking?"

I looked at axen who was looking at me with an angry look

"Am I not enough to satisfy you?"

“Axen, what are you saying. Me and him just-"

"Devya, look at your ring."

I was surprised, saw a very beautiful ring with a wedding dress

"Come on, we should be at the wedding altar soon." Freshy asked me

"Am I not enough to satisfy you?"

Axen's sentence always haunts me, making me wake up in a state of surprise, I see Freshy who is still beside me hugging my body tightly.

"Get out of the way!!"

I pushed Freshy's body making His fall off the bed and immediately woke up in a state of shock

“What are you doing, why are you pushing me so violently?” freshy grimaced in pain

"I'm sorry, but I have to go home now."

I took my small bag and walked away from inside his house to catch the bus back to my mansion.

"Thank God, he's not home yet."

I entered the mansion and laid my body right on the bench very lazily.

"Was the party fun?"

Raiya came with warm milk for me

"Thank you, Ray."

"Please drink."

I gulped down a glass of milk until it was finished and then I sat casually on the bench.

"Is it fun?" Raiya again asked me

I smiled a little chuckle

"very pleasant."

Not long after I relax, Axen returns to the mansion

"welcome Dear."

Axen looked at me in confusion, was my behavior too much? I can't be like this, he'll be suspicious of me,

"have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Come on, let's eat together."

I nodded enthusiastically, the three of us were on the dining table enjoying it

"Dear, eat this."

I feed my husband tomato slices, he looks at me confused

Devya what are you doing he doesn't like tomatoes.

I was surprised, what Raiya said was true that Axen was allergic to tomatoes. I'm chuckling

"What's wrong with me, how could I forget that?"

I'm confused again with raiya, how does that woman know that axen doesn't like tomatoes?

"How do you know my husband doesn't like tomatoes?" I tightly hold Axen's hand

"He's said it before."

“So you pay attention to the little things of other people's husbands. You bitch."

I felt my cheeks heat up from Raiya's hard slap.

“What are you doing, dare to slap my face?! axen, watch him slap me.”

"what Raiya said is true dev, how can you forget something that is clearly visible in me."

To my surprise, Axen's defense of him was very annoying.

"I'm done!"

I immediately left the dining table and went straight to my room and was followed by my husband

"Dev, I'm sorry. I have no intention of making a mockery of you.”

"enough! Turns out I'm not a good wife. other people watch you very carefully even he memorizes everything about you."

"why are you being paranoid like this, he's only heard of it not memorized it."

There are always fights between me and my husband

“You're annoying Axen. Come on, I want to go to bed."

I turned my back on my husband and grumbled in annoyance.

“Dear, did something happen today?”

I gasped, how did he know? Don't worry, Freshy and I just listen to music and lie in our room we don't do anything

"there isn't any."

My husband's arms, tightly hugging my waist from behind he kissed my neck

"Do not be naughty."

I was silent for a moment "hmm." I replied back sleeping beside him.

I woke up and saw the night was coming, always like this. I wake up at night and sleep during the day, I feel my body is not back to normal.

"Dear, I'm leaving."

I nodded, no hugs and kisses just watched him drive away in the car. Luckily he was able to get out of this stuffy mansion.

"dev, wait."

My hand is held by the woman who hit me this morning

"what?" my answer is short

"I'm sorry, I hit your cheek hard."

"Do not think about it."

I'm still annoyed with him, I walked to my son's room to bathe and give them food. I take good care of my two children.

“Rai, I have to go out after this.”

"where are you going?"

"shop."

Where are you going again? Axen didn't let me go too far, he just let me out for shopping and went to see Reina. Just like in prison, damn it!

"May I accompany you?"

"no." I immediately answered it quickly

"why? I can help you carry the groceries.”

"bother."

"That's bad, I promise I won't bother you."

"I don't want to take you, I want to go shopping alone."

"But, don't you mind if you bring your own groceries?" raiya keeps forcing me he stares with a sad look

"You want to help me?"

"Yes, I want to help you."

“Please, take good care of the house.”

"I'll do!!"

I still went shopping and left Raiya alone at home.

In the shopping center I'm busy selecting various kinds of raw materials for supplies

“Gosh, that's so expensive.”

I was surprised, when someone kissed my neck and sucked it

“Fresh!”

I touched my neck which seemed to have a purple imprint I beat Freshy in annoyance

"Ouch, it hurts."

I was so annoyed with him, he grabbed my hand tightly dragged me into the car and locked it

"what do you want to do. Do not try anything with me!!"

He drove his car quickly to take me into his luxurious mansion.

"Fresh, I have to go home."

Freshy didn't hear me, he took me inside the mansion

"Fresh, I have to go home."

Freshy didn't hear me, he took me inside the mansion and held me against the wall near his room

"what?"

He smiled mischievously and kissed my neck again and my cheeks made me laugh

"Fresh, stop it. This is ridiculous.”

He brought his lips right in front of mine

"Make me coffee."

I gasped, my body trembled at the touch from him not realizing I had swallowed my own saliva

"why?" freshy smiled mischievously he brought his face close to my ear

"Are you imagining something? Hmm?”

Freshy nudged the top of my nose making my cheeks red and smiling shyly

"why? Did you imagine…”

I cover His lips with my palm

"Stop."

Freshy smiled he removed my hand from his lips and gave me permission to walk to the kitchen to make coffee for him

"Go."

I smiled and walked to the kitchen, only a few steps he stopped me by devouring my earlobe making my body tremble and making my face red because of him.

"Fresh, don't be naughty." I chuckled then smiled again

“After making me coffee, you have to give me a massage.”

I got goosebumps hearing it, he really teased me so well it made my body tremble. Even I've never been treated like this by Axen, my husband.

I brought a cup of coffee, I walked around the room looking for his whereabouts

"Fresh, where is it?"

"here. Come in." The answer is from inside the room

"I'll put your coffee on the table."

"No, bring it here."

"No, I'll just leave it here."
