HIDDEN WIFE : CHAPTER 31 – 40

Chapter 40

Few Minutes Later

Mr Baldwin’s ears pricked up when he heard the door creak open, he turned around, and saw a lady who wore a scarf and sunglasses walked in.

His brows knitted together in a tight frown, as he couldn’t recognize her.

“Who are you?” He asked her.

He tilted his head and frown deepened more, trying to identify her but still couldn’t recognize her.
She found his question quite silly and scoffed unbelievably.

“What now? You don’t recognize me after your wife has disfigured my face?” she asked him back.

Realization dawned on him instantly and he knew who she is, but he didn’t show it and continued acting oblivious just to fool her.

“My wife?” he asked, pretending to be clueless.

His brows furrowed even more.
The lady dropped her bag on the table, then took off her sunglasses and scarf.

“It’s me” she said.

“It’s you?” he raised his brows questioningly.

“Yes” she let down her hair. “Tasha Wood”

“Wow!”

He dropped the glass of wine he was holding, and looked closely at her as he tried to find some resemblance between the Tasha Wood showing on magazines and this Tasha Wood standing in front of him.

He couldn’t control himself and burst into an uncontrollable laughter, which made Tasha glared at him but didn’t say anything though.

She grumpily slumped on the sofa next to his, strike an imposing pose and held her head up to hide her shame.

“Why are you laughing?!” she snapped at him when he wouldn’t stop laughing.

Mr Baldwin laughed for a few more seconds, and stopped to catch his breath. His eyes were fixed on her face, while he’s trying hard not to laugh anymore.

“She really did a number on you, should this be handsome and the beast?” he laughed shortly. “I wanna ask a question, were your hands tied when she was destroying your face like this?” he asked her.

“Laugh all you want, but she’s not getting away with this” Tasha said.

Mr Baldwin sobered up immediately, he suddenly recalled the reason he agreed to meet with Tasha, and cleared his throat.

“What’s my deepest secret you said you know about?” he asked her.

Tasha smirked.

“Don’t rush, darling” she said.

She sprang off her sofa and sexily jumped on Mr Baldwin’s laps, with her left arm around his neck for support, while her right hand held his chin and raised his head slightly, making him lock gaze with her.

Mr Baldwin wanted to push her off him, but he imagined her as one of his dancers and let her stay.

“You see my face?” she asked in a failed se.ductive voice. “Your wife did this, and do you know what this would cost me?”

“My…”

“Shhh” she placed a finger on his lips and shushed him.

Her fingers traced his lips as she licked her lips hungrily, while still staring in his eyes with a smile.

“I know you’re hiding her away from the public eyes, you don’t want people to know about her because you’re scared they might come after her, right?” she laughed.

Mr Baldwin simply stared at her quietly, waiting for her to complete her words.

“But what are you gonna do now that I already know about her?” she blinked her eyes se.ductively.

Her hand moved down to his chest, she unbutton the first two buttons of his t-shirt and shoved her hand inside his shirt, and drew imaginary circles on his chest, hoping it’d turn him on but he was just staring emotionlessly at her as he felt nothing from her touch.

“Do you want me to help you keep your wife a secret?”

“Of course”

Her smirk widened.

“Then you have two options, either you let me be your girlfriend and fk me right now, let me have a taste of your sxiness…” she trailed off and watch his expression.

“Ooh, I love fking!” he said in fake excitement, but it sounded so true.

“.. or I’ll tell the world who your wife really is, I’ll let everyone know she’s nothing special but pauper!”

Mr Baldwin clenched his jaw as Tasha referred to his wife as a pauper, he r®ughly pvshed her off his laps and purposely made her fall and bumped her already multicolored face on the table.

“Ouch, that hurts” she cried in an attempted sxy voice, but unfortunately sounded whiny.

“Next time you wanna threaten someone, make sure you are using the person’s deepest secret, bch!” he growled.

Tasha frowned as she stand on her feet.

“Isn’t she your deepest secret?”

“No, in fact, I’ve been thinking of ways to introduce her to the world” he sighed. “But there’s no thinking any more, you can help me with the introduction and we’ll see if they’ll believe you”

“But.. but.. but…” Tasha’s speechless, she doesn’t know what to say anymore.

Mr Baldwin got up, he buttoned his shirt and gagged in disgust as he sniffed his shirt and perceived Tasha’s perfume.

“You need to change your perfume, or its scent might drive away your sugar daddies”

“I don’t have sugar daddies!” she snapped at him.

He laughed. He reached for his remaining wine on the glass and took a sip.

“I advice you leave first, I don’t want people to see me leaving with… ” he paused as he searched for the right word to describe her. “… ugh, just leave first” he found no words to describe her.

Tasha glared at him for a moment, snatched her bag from the table and angrily stormed out.

Mr Baldwin shook his head and let out a sigh.

“Pathetic” he said.

HIDDEN WIFE : CHAPTER 31 – 40

Outside The Westin Bonaventure Hotel And Suites

Tasha stepped out of the hotel with a very angry frown, she glared at the building behind her and balled her fists tightly beside her.

“Just you wait, Duncan!” she snapped quietly.

She noticed a few passerbys were stealing glances at her and pointing at her face while laughing, and talking in hush voices, that’s when she remembered her scarf has falled off her head, and she wasn’t wearing her sunglasses.

She quickly covered her face with her scarf, then dashed towards the main road.

A black SUV suddenly parked in front of her immediately she reached the main road, which almost knocked her down but she jumped back very fast.

“Hey! What the h’ll is wrong with you?!” she bellowed at the driver, and banged on the door as she channeled all her anger and frustration to it.

The driver’s door open and a man dressed in well tailored black suit alighted, he rounded the car and stopped in front of her.

“Hi, Miss wood, I’m Peter, your new driver assigned by the agency to drive you around” he said.

She took a step back and stared at him strangely.

“New driver?” she asked with a frown.

“Yes, ma’am, Miss Rebecca sent me to pick up and bring you back to the company, she said she has something very important to discuss with you” he said.

Tasha broke into a wide grin, but stopped when her jaw hurts.

“Rebecca finally knows my worth” she giggled.

Peter smirked at her reaction.

“Miss wood?”

He opened the door to the passenger seat, and gestured her to get in.

Tasha gleefully jumped into the car, fastened her seatbelt and faced Peter with a wider grin.

“Let’s go!” she exclaimed excitedly.

“Yes, ma’am” Peter said, then rounded the car back to the driver’s side.

He clenched his teeth and narrowed his eyes creepily, before entering the car, he revved up the engine, then drove off in a very dangerous speed.

Meanwhile, Mr Baldwin and his assistant (Lucas), were watching the scene from the parking lot where Lucas had parked their car earlier.

Although they saw everything, but they were unable to hear their (Tasha’s and Peter’s) conversation, because they were too far away.

“Sir, that man looks suspicious, do you think she’s gonna be alright?” Lucas asked.

Mr Baldwin shoved his hands in his pocket and shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know, and I don’t care”

“But I suggest we follow them, what if he’s a bad guy and…”

“Lucas, let’s go back to the hospital, my wife must be getting bored and hungry by now” Mr Baldwin said with finality in his voice, indirectly telling Lucas not to say another word about Tasha.

“Yes, sir”

Lucas held the car’s door and Mr Baldwin slide in. Lucas shut the door, then got into the driver’s seat.

“Let’s stop by a supermarket”

“Yes, sir” Lucas answered.

He started the car and drove out of the parking lot, towards the gates.
