HIDDEN WIFE : CHAPTER 11 – 20
CHAPTER 4
THE NEXT MORNING
I turned on the bed and reached out my hand towards Duncan’s side, only to find out it’s cold and empty.
Hold on a sec…
Bed? Wasn’t I crying in the bathroom? How did I ended up in bed? Was it Duncan that carried me back to be.d?
My eyebrows furrowed instantly as I quickly snapped my eyes open, I frantically searched the room but he’s nowhere in sight.
Could it be last night’s event all a dream? Am I really that sx-starved, to the extent that I’ve started fantasizing about Duncan and I?
I must be losing my mind, I guess I thought about him too much yesterday.
I should get ready and go to my cafe, it’ll help me take my mind off him and matters related to him.
I looked outside the window, it’s already very bright outside and I couldn’t help but panic, thinking I’ve overslept.
Without wasting time, I reached for my alarm clock that was sitting on the nightstand and released a long sigh of relief.
“It’s just 06:33am” I whispered to myself and placed the alarm clock back on the nightstand.
My stomach suddenly growled, then I remembered I had actually skipped dinner last night and I sprang out of bed. I headed towards the door to get something to eat.
A sweet aroma of pancakes whiffed past my nostrils as I approached the staircase, which made my mouth watered and I started taking the steps two at a time.
“Mrs Jackson, we’re having pancakes for breakfast today?” I asked rushing towards the kitchen.
There wasn’t any response from her and I assumed she didn’t hear me, which made me hastened my pace but I slowed down when I saw Mrs Jackson just coming in, with her bags containing her uniform.
“You’re just coming, Mrs Jackson?” I asked, as if it wasn’t obvious enough.
“Yes”
“Huh?”
I looked towards the kitchen where the sweet aroma was still coming from, wondering who’s inside the kitchen since Mrs Jackson is here.
“Mr Baldwin called me yesterday and said I can come to work anytime” she said.
My eyes grew wide. So it wasn’t a dream, Duncan’s back and we had hot sx last night.
A short scene from last night quickly replayed in my mind, I grinned widely and blushed very hard, but quickly frown when I recalled our argument and the reason I cried myself to sleep.
“Good morning, my heartbeat” Duncan greeted from the door of the kitchen.
My eyes shortly trailed his body, stylishly checking him out and my jaw dropped at what I saw. He tied an apron around his waist, he wore a white see through shirt and his muscles bulged out.
I bite my lower lip and gulped, it’s been long since I last woke up to a beautiful view as this, I couldn’t help but drool over him.
What are you doing, Rachel? Have you forgotten that you’re mad at him? I mentally cautioned myself.
“Breakfast is ready, go freshen up and come down to join me” he said, Mrs Jackson has silently excused herself already.
“What are you still doing here? Aren’t you gonna go home?” I asked grumpily.
He smiled.
“This is my home, home is wherever you are” he said.
He’s got a sugarcoat tongue, but unfortunately it’s not gonna help him this time.
“Leave after breakfast” I told him strictly.
“Does that mean you’re having breakfast with me?” he asked.
I looked at the plate of pancakes in his hand, my lips suddenly felt dry and my mouth opened slightly, I felt like snatching the pancakes from him and shove them down my throat.
But I composed myself.
“I’m not eating breakfast cooked by you, you don’t trust me, likewise I don’t trust you too”
“Come on, I… ”
“You can’t buy me off by whispering sweet words in my ear or cooking good food for me, you have the divorce papers, sign them before I get back from my cafe today”
He closed his eyes.
“Can we stop talking about the divorce?”
“No, not until you’re ready to let me in, not until you’re ready to let me know who you really are!”
My eyes settled on the pancakes again, I couldn’t resist the temptation this time and snatched a few pancakes from the plate, then rushed back to our room to get ready for work.
I heard him sigh frustratingly, but I didn’t turn back.

THIRD PERSON’S pov.
Mike’s Mansion
Mike was whisking some eggs when the doorbell rang, he almost dropped the plate of eggs from shock, but managed to catch and steadied the plate on the counter in time.
He washed his hands and wiped it with a small towel, before going to get the door.
“Surprise!!” Jacinta squealed immediately he opened the door.
Mike placed his hand on his chest and exhaled in relief, to show he’s truly surprised and wasn’t expecting to see Jacinta at his doorstep so early in the door.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, making way for her to come in.
“I brought you breakfast” she replied.
“Breakfast?” he asked again.
“Yeah” she dropped her bag on the table. “I promised to show you the best of me, and I’ll start by cooking your meals; break, lunch and dinner” she said waving a lunch box.
Mike simply at her smiling face with a surprised expression, like he couldn’t believe what he’s seeing.
