Husband With Benefits

"What is wrong with you? I told you to make him write a note blaming Nora for seducing him and then abandoning him. What did you do? Make him write about guilt for causing her pain. Why couldn’t you have followed such simple instructions?" Lara glared at the person in front of her as she paced her room.

Dam* it! She’d lost such a golden opportunity. If everything had gone according to the plan then Nora would have become notorious for leading men on and being a sl*t! First, she’d have made Antonio come forward to claim how she’d betrayed him and left him at the altar and then within months married the powerful Demetri Frost. In between, she had not been idle but even toyed with the feelings of her senior in University!

Even if it would not have harmed her much, it would have put a blemish on her pristine image. A blemish that would not have been acceptable to Elijah Frost. Who did not know the old man and his orthodox ways? He would never have accepted Nora into the family.

But now, this man by her side and ruined everything! She felt him come behind her and rub her arms but she simply shook him off in irritation. "Calm down, sweetheart."

"How can I calm down! You’ve ruined everything! I did not expect that you would sabotage me too." As tears trembled on her eyelashes, the man sighed and forgot all his grievances against her. "Lara. I did what I had to to protect you. If Max had written a suicide note blaming Nora, then her husband would not have let things go so easily. He would have dragged this matter until her name was cleared."

"Even before the police retrieved Max’s body, Demetri Frost’s agents were sniffing around for evidence. If they suspect foul play, then they are going to go at it like rabid dogs. So, we need to convince them that everything that happened was Max’s doing alone with no one offering suggestions. Also, don’t worry. I have something from Max that might help in implicating her later."

Lara looked up into the eyes of the man who was looking at her dotingly. What a fool. He had even bloodied his hands to please her. Sigh, she really liked this guy more than the others. He was good in bed and out of it. A rare dual quality. Maybe she would keep him for a longer time than the others.

"What are you thinking?", he whispered in her ear and Lara sighed," Thinking about how good you are to me." He smiled against her cheek and placed a gentle kiss," Lara, there is something I need to discuss with you."

Lara sighed. These men sure had a way of ruining her good mood. Instead of taking the signal and pulling her to the bed, he was being a ninny and wanted to talk to her.

Irritated, she questioned," What?"
