Second Chance with My First Love

"Your husband can't satisfy you, can he?" Adam asked as he drew his face closer. His eyes had nothing, not even desires, but coldness as they gazed at me. "Well, of course, he can't. Otherwise, you won't look so starving for it."

Under his mocking smile, my heart trembled as if it wanted to escape from its rib cage. Instantly, I shrugged off my desires, forcing myself to wake up from his hypnotic gaze and push him from above me.

Then, I fixed myself and drew away from him.

What happened to me just now? I almost had sex with him!

I was trembling hard as I gathered my strength to push him out of my house — no, out of our house. However, Adam quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. Then, he held me tightly in his arms and dragged me closer to his chest.

Immediately, my face heated up. "Adam, why are you here? What do you want me to do?" I asked as I glared at him.

Adam gave me a deep look as he leveled his gaze with mine. His deep eyes were getting closer and closer, fascinatingly hypnotizing me again. When his breath tattooed my bare face, I forgot to struggle again.

However, just when I thought his lips were about to claim mine again, he turned his head gently and sneered. "You think I'll kiss you?" he taunted, full of ridicule.

My eyes then twitched at him. I was about to say something when the doorknob's latch suddenly clicked.

With that, my heart trembled violently, and my body froze with fear. I didn't even need to check because I knew it was Bob. And if he found out I was with Adam, he would have other evidence to use to threaten me and the latter.

But, no! I would not let that happen!

Hastily, I pulled Adam and pushed him into the guest room. However, before I could even do that, he grabbed my hand and stopped me from doing what I had initially planned.

"What? Am I that disgraceful that you want to hide me here?" he asked. His eyes were deep, like a brewing storm amidst the vast ocean.

Speechless, I looked unbelievably at him as anger replaced the fear I had felt earlier. 'How stupid could this man be?!'

"Come with me!" I hysterically said in a low voice when I heard the door had finally unlocked.

However, Adam stood still.

"Please!" I begged.

Instantly, Adam's expression changed, and his eyes became dimmer.

Using all my strength, I pushed him into the guest room, and just as I closed the door, Bob entered!

My heart remained in chaos even after ensuring Adam was out of sight. I mean, who wouldn't feel anxious if your husband came back and you were hiding a man?

"What are you standing there?" Bob asked, full of suspicion behind me.

I gulped and turned around to see him. Then, I immediately shook my head. "N-Nothing..."

After I said the word, Bob frowned and walked towards me.

Nervous, I cursed under my breath, forced myself to calm down, and thought of a new topic. "Do you know what your mother did?"

Bob stopped and arched his brow at me. "What did she do?"

I sneered and fixed my posture. "She went to my workplace and made a commotion, saying I can't bear a child for your family." Then, I paused and looked at him with my squinted eyes. "I've taken nothing but harsh words from her, but should I tell her what kind of man her son is?"

I was brimming with anger, and I felt like I could spit a novel-long of curses at him, but before I could even react, Bob's hand suddenly hit my cheeks. With his unexpected blow, my face shifted sideways, and I urgently held my reddened cheek.

"And why are you telling me this? Do you think I'll scold my mom and side with you? Dream on, Sophia! Who do you think you are?" His eyes were as intense as fire. "I don't care about whatever my mother would do to you. If she humiliated you, then suffer. You deserve a lot more than that anyway."

I clenched my fist as I mirrored his gaze. I was hoping to see even faint hints of sorry in his eyes, but it disappointed me that there weren't. Unfazed, he stepped closer toward me and warned, "If you dare let my mother know anything, I hope you're ready for the consequences."

And with that, I was rendered speechless. I wanted to chase him with a knife and ruthlessly stab him until I felt satisfied because why not? He kept making my life miserable, so why not end everything at once? If we died now, the pain would only last briefly.

But then, Adam was here.

He was here, so all I could do now was endure my husband's treatment and act tough regardless.

I waited a moment to ensure that Bob was already asleep before I opened the guest room's door and let Adam come out.

As soon as he did, a moment of silence ensued for what seemed to be a long time until Adam broke it with a serious question.

"So, you left me before to marry such a person?"
