Maybe only a few people did who were probably related to their past. But just like their past, many of their allies and many other things just flushed away. Even Jaelyn and Dominic had faded away from each other's lives but somehow, fate played it differently with them. And it played dirty. Filthily dirty.

“Well, let's get to the business. About the defect in the devices…” The woman speaks, taking the man out of his thoughts. She chuckles at the man's act as she continues. “It will be resolved soon. You don't need to worry about it.” She assured and Dominic frowns in confusion at the vague answer.

“What am I even supposed to understand with that unhelpful revert of yours?”

The seriousness in Dominic's question made the lady laugh as if he had cracked some funniest satire of the world and it just enrages the man even more. “I mean, I did it on purpose. The one and only purpose of mine…” She says while wiping the flowing blood from her fingers on her collar bones, complexing it sexily with her red dress and pinkish shade of her neck. “To bring you back to me, privately, with privacy. At our home. You remember that we used to live here together, right? How we used to keep our house warm and cozy. How we used to make love all day, all night, we were wild and nasty.” She finishes while licking on her fingers, sucking the blood and messing her lipstick but somehow it just polished the fullness of her lips even well.

Dominic on the other hand, tried to do, to react or act literally anything but all he could do was gulp while the sweat was intensively rolling over his face and throat. He was unwillingly getting wet. “Liked what you see? Or, do you still like me? Couldn't your lovely wife satisfy you that you're still thirsting over my skin despite the rage you have over me, Dominic? Or should I say, my love?”

Crack!

Another sound of glass breaking came as Dominic broke the surface of the table of his side harshly and stood straight. “I had enough! You are not going to do anything other than this shit show of yours and I'm not going to entertain any of it.” He spits as he starts leaving the spot, making his way to exit and just as he was so close to withdrawing, a statement left Jaelyn's mouth.

“Well, you weren't surprised at the fact that I wasn't mourned by Terence's death. But, would you still be unsurprised at the fact that I'm the reason for my husband's very unfortunate death…”

Silence…

“You… You what?” Dominic stutters as he feels his feet struck to its spot.

Jaelyn also stands from her seat and starts walking towards the man's direction. “Yes, Dominic. I killed him. I killed my own husband because he was getting in the way. He was a barrier which I had to get rid of in order to get to you. I can get rid of literally anything to get you, my love. And I know that you're also still in love with me.” She starts caressing the man's cheeks but the latter shoves her hands off.

“No! I don't! You're insane Jaelyn. How… Just how can you fall this far?”

“For you, babe. Please, let me be your love again. You will be promoted to the chief executive. Or literally anything you want. Just let us be together again. We can be a secret. Your wife will not even now. Neither does anyone else.” Jaelyn rambles in desperation as she starts rolling the man's arms around her slim frame and grinding their bodies excessively.

“Let it be a mystery. Let me be your mysterious mistress.”

Slap!

Hurting a person, let alone hitting a woman was never Dominic's motive. He was so against it and he even regretted hitting Jaelyn despite her… Sexually assaulting him?

“Stop it! You're a selfish brutal monster, Jaelyn. I would never ever love you again and I regret every single second of my past which I spent being in love with you.”

There was a moment of silence with Jaelyn surprisingly not seeming even a bit bothered by the pain of the slap. She rather seemed furious. Furious by the rejection done by Dominic who once used to worship her like a goddess. And now he doesn't even see her worthy as a mistress.

“No one has ever said no to me, Dominic. Then how in the world did you get the balls to refuse Jaelyn Jane when this was the same woman you used to beg for attention.”

Another series of silence before Dominic spoke. “Fuck you, Jaelyn Jane.”

And that was just enough to enrage the said woman to a level where she aggressively pulled the man towards the and started undoing his clothes, most probably hovering over the man for an intercourse.

Dominic turns the lady upside down and tries to get up but her nails scratch on his back making the latter tremble at sting. Jaelyn, taking advantage of the man's losing condition, drags his head towards her jaw, forcing him to mark bites on her neck.

Somehow after a couple of struggles, Dominic gets success to push the woman away from and releases himself from her grip. Jaelyn again tries to pursue Dominic but again the man prevents her attempt as he takes his fallen blazer from the ground and starts settling himself to leave.

When Jaelyn starts feeling like there's no way to get on to him, she starts screaming randomly in rage. “I am warning you, Dominic Kim. You are losing a very great opportunity and dragging your own self to hell. You will be ruined, Dominic. Even your career, your reputation, your wife and your unborn child. This act of yours will make not only your life but also their lives miserable.”

Dominic stops once again by the entrance and shoots a deathly glare at the latter. “I said it already. But if you wish so bad, I'll say it again. Fuck you, Jaelyn Jane!” And without granting the woman another chance to retort, he flashes out right away.

Jaelyn slides onto the messy couch and crosses her legs, making herself comfy as grabs the wine bottle and takes a sip on it. “But you did not really fuck me, Dominic. And I bet that you will regret every fucking bit of it.”
