WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 41 – 50
Adele’s pov ?
Adele’s apartment.
“The keys” Clark stretched out his hand.
I reached for my purse and searched for the keys, luckily I found it and gave it to him.
He quickly opened the door and pushed it open, I didn’t wait for him.. I rushed inside and headed for the living room.
“Good heavens, I’m so tired!” I groaned.
I slumped onto a sofa, I threw my purse on the table and kicked off my heels…I leaned back on the sofa and released deep breaths of relief.
Clark came in, he threw the keys on the table and slumped onto the sofa next to mine.. he sighed too.
He took my left hand in his and caressed it gently.
“Baby, thanks for saving back there” he said, referring to the dinner with his parents.
“Well, I was kinda defending my dignity.. but, I’m happy it saved you from those wolves” I joked and we laughed briefly.
Then a very comfortable silence fell on us, we stared at the tv screen blankly.. after all, it was switched off.
I turned to face him, just to find he’s already staring at me with his lips curved in a smile…and his eyes so focused on me.
“I kinda ruined everything and made your parents lost face… ”
I trailed off and turned away from him, but didn’t withdraw my hand from his.
“… I don’t know how important Mr and Mrs Luther are to them, I hope I didn’t cause too much damage?” I asked.
He sighed, he gestured me to come onto his l aps and I did. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist, he pecked my cheek.
“You didn’t”
“Really?” I asked again.
He nodded.
“Yeah, if you hadn’t come, I would have figured out a way outta there… ”
He paused and pushed some hair strands behind my ear, he snuggled his nose in my neck.
“… and maybe, I would have done something far worst” he said.
“Hmm, but it seemed as though you were enjoying yourself when I got there”
“Nope, I wasn’t”
I scoffed.
“Just admit I saved you out”
He stared at me a few seconds and smiled, then nodded in agreement.
“Fine, fine…you saved me out”
“That’s right, a damsel saved the hero in distress!” I laughed.
He also laughed at my words.
“That’s funny and it doesn’t even sound right, it’s always gonna remain a hero saved the damsel in distress”
“Well, then, I have invented another adage…a damsel saved the hero in distress!” I said, daring him to argue with me.
He didn’t say anything more, he simply raised his hands in surrender and bowed his head in defeat.
I laughed at him.
“Alright, tell me the real reason you invited me to that dinner.. cause truthfully, you didn’t need my help”
He paused and stared in my eyes.
“I wanted to know if you’ve really fallen in love with me.. or if you want to be together because you are pitying me” he said.
I frowned slightly.
“Really?”
He nodded and I scoffed.
“That’s boring and low!” I said.
“Yeah, I know.. but I already got my answer”
I didn’t speak, I waited for him to continue.. to finish his words.
“Let’s date, be my girlfriend”
“Aren’t I your girlfriend already?” I asked.
“You are?”
I nodded.
“Well, I already told your parents I’m your girlfriend and I also consider you mine in my heart already… so, yes”
“Really?!”
“Yeah”
He stared at me with his mouth wide opened, no words or sounds could come out.
“Wait… You’re not bluffing me, right?” He asked when he finally found words.
It seems I’ll have to show him how serious I am, I got up and sat on his l.aps again.. but with my legs on both sides of his this time.
I held his face in my hands and smiled at him.
“Let’s make tonight a good night then” I said.
Without waiting for his response, I crashed my lips on his
“Your dress is made of cheap material.. don’t tell me you left that mall and went to a local mall”
I laughed and stared at him innocently.
“But at least, I got the job done.. and besides, they couldn’t tell it’s a cheap dress” I explained.
He laughed and shook his head.
“Well, your boyfriend is very loaded.. I’ll spoil you!” He said.
He got up with my legs wrapped his, he crashed his lips on mine again and headed for my room.

WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 41 – 50
Jasmine’s pov ?
“Argh” I sighed deeply, as I stepped out of the bathroom with my towel tightly wrapped around my chest.
My eyes landed on Thanatos who’s sitting on the bed, face timing with his assistant.
I hopped onto the bed and glared at him, he turned to me and smiled but I ignored him and pulled the blanket over my head.
*… also, Mr McMahon has sent his reply this evening* his assistant said.
“What’s his reply.. we already concluded he’s coming over for the meeting”
*Yes, sir, but he said he’s not the one coming.. he’s sending his assistant over to represent him*
“His assistant?”
*Yes, sir. He said we should treat her as though he’s the one negotiating with us.. he said wether we’ll do business all depends on you*
There’s a brief silence from him, he took a deep breath.
“Fine, I’ll forward an address to you.. send it to his assistant”
“Ok, sir”
I heard him shut his laptop and put it on the bedside table, then his arms wrapped around me.. but I shrugged them off.
He pulled the blanket down slightly and smiled at me.
“Baby, are you still mad at me?”
“Take a look at me, what do you think?” I snapped at him.
He laughed, which made me glare at him maliciously.
He wanted to cause more damage to my w omb, he didn’t let me took my bath as I had intended.
He convinced me into making love with him, only for him to make us fk for almost one hour.. and we went three ro unds, which I enjoyed.
But the aftermath was not so sweet, I could barely stand or walk.. I had to chase him out of the bathroom.
“But baby, it’s not my fault”
I narrowed my eyes.
“Then who’s fault it is, mine?”
He nodded, I narrowed my eyes more.
“It’s your fault for being ridiculously hot.. my thing couldn’t stop rising and…”
I smacked his chest and glared maliciously at him, he stopped talking and studied my expression.. then laughed.
“Alright, I’m sorry”
I scoffed, I sat up and rested my back on the headboard.. with my arms folded on my chest.
“But.. you enjoyed it too”
“I didn’t”
“You did”
“I said I didn’t”
“Oh? But I heard someone screaming.. oh my God! Deeper please!
My cheeks flamed up in embarrassment, as he’s imitating my voice and my performance.
“… Thana, faster, faster please, deeper… ”
“Shut up!” I cut him off and covered his mouth with my hand.
He removed my hand and laughed at me, with my cheeks still flaming up.. I pouted and turned away from him, I folded my arms on my chest.
“Leave, go to your apartment” I told him.
He shook his head.
“Davis already know I’m his dad, it wouldn’t look good if we don’t live together”
I huffed, he’s using Davis as a shield already…what a trickster!
“I mean..how should we explain it to Davis if he asks us why we don’t live together”
“Excuses” I murmured.
He laughed, he turned me to face him and took my hands in his. He rubbed then gently and kissed them.
“I’m sorry, alright… I just couldn’t get enough of you” he said.
I rolled my eyeballs, but rushed into his arms and rested my head on his chest.
“What time are you leaving for the office tomorrow? Can you drop Davis off at school?” I asked.
“Hmm… I don’t think I can drop him off at school, I don’t know what time McMahon’s assistant is gonna arrive…you know I can’t keep her waiting” he answered.
I sighed.
“I hope it wouldn’t come to the stage, where you’ll be too busy to spend time with us”
“Of course not, I’d rather let my business fail, than ignore you or Davis”
What a hypocrite! He just said he can’t drop Davis off, now he’s making promises.
“Come on, let’s go to sleep early… we have a busy day tomorrow”
Immediately he said that, my phone’s ringtone blared loudly and I quickly reached for it.
“Arthur?” I whispered when I saw his name flashing on the screen.
Thanatos grip on my waist tightened, immediately I said his name.
“Why is he calling you so late?” He asked.
“I don’t…”
I cut myself off when I remembered something, he’s coming back to Las Vegas today.. I guess he’s arrived.
“.. he’s back” I said.
Thanatos didn’t speak, I saw that as an approval and quickly received the call.
“Hey, Arthur”
“Jas, I’ve been trying to reach you.. I called you so many times but you didn’t pick up” he (Arthur) said.
“Yeah, I’m so sorry, darling, I was quite busy…”
I paused and frowned at Thanatos.
He unwrapped his arms around me and laid down, he pulled the blanket over him.
Is he being jealous or angry? I ignored him and continued talking with Arthur.
“… I was quite busy, so I missed your calls”
“Alright, baby, I just wanted to let you know I’m back”
I nodded.
“Yeah.. I figured”
My fingers combed through Thanatos hair, but he moved his head away.
“Right, Jas, you’ll accompany me to my new site tomorrow and…”
“We’ll talk tomorrow, goodnight” I cut him off.
“Goodnight? Are you busy now?” He asked.
My eyes moved back to Thanatos, I know he’s not sleeping yet.. but I don’t know what’s wrong with him.
“Jas?”
“Yeah, I’m busy.. let’s talk tomorrow”
“Alright, goodnight, tell Davis I love him”
“I will” I hanged up and dropped my phone back on the bedside table.
I turned my attention back to Thanatos, I wrapped my arms around him and rested my chin on his shoulder.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” I asked him.
He didn’t respond, he just pretended as if he’s already asleep.
“Talk to me, baby, what’s wrong?”
“Go to sleep.. or you can call Arthur back” he said.
I frowned.
“What do you mean?”
He sat up abruptly and glared at me, I kinda flinched away from him.
“Do you have any respect for me?”
“Huh?”
“I’m right here and you’re talking to another on the phone at…”
He trailed off and his eyes zoomed on the alarm clock.
“… at 10:49pm. Not just that, you called him darling.. darling!”
“There’s nothing wrong in that…”
“There’s nothing wrong in that? Calling another man an affectionate name isn’t wrong?”
I shook my head.
“We normally call each other affectionate names, I call Davis baby too”
He scoffed.
“Davis is different, he’s our son”
I paused and studied his expression, then it clicked and I laughed.
“Thanatos… Are you jealous?” I asked.
“Yes” he answered at once. “Yes, I’m jealous”
Wow! He’s not even denying it.. I like it!
“I’m not only jealous, I’m d*mn angry too!”
“Thana….”
“Abandoning your man and talking to another.. would you be happy if I do that to you?”
Oh.. he’s right there, I won’t like it if he ignored me and started talking to another woman.
In fact, I sometimes get jealous when he’s talking to his assistant about work.
“I get that he’s your best friend, but he’s still another…I mean, your husband is right here, shouldn’t you respect that?”
I rolled my eyeballs.
“Hello…Mr O’Briens, you’re not my husband yet…”
“Stop saying that for fk sake!” He cut me off. “I would have married you by now if we didn’t lost contact for five years!”
Those words shut me up immediately… he’s right though.
His love for me then was so real, it gave me the confidence to stand up against my dad.
We wouldn’t have lost contact, if I had waited a day.
“We can go the court tomorrow and get married if that is what you want…but just get it in your head, I’m your HUSBAND!”
Ooh! He sounded so possessive there, I like that.
“Don’t push me baby, or I might get that guy beat up”
I sighed and started massaging his tensed shoulders.
“Fine, I’m sorry, baby”
I stopped massaging him and leaned forward to peck him, but he turned his face away from me.
“Go kss your darling” he huffed and laid back down.
I smiled.. I swear, I didn’t know he’s such a jealous freak. I guess I should go to sleep, by tomorrow morning his anger would be gone.

WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 41 – 50
The next morning.
I woke up and found Thanatos side of bed empty, I reached forward and felt it with my palm… It’s cold.
He must have woken up since. A yawn left my mouth and I stretched my limps.
I looked down at myself and realized I’m no longer in my towel… Thanatos must have helped me change into my nightie.
My eyes found the alarm clock and they instantly bulged out of their sockets…07:43am!
Davis is gonna be late for school.
I quickly hopped off the bed and rushed out of the room, barefooted.
“Momma!” Davis called happily, the moment I stepped into the living room.
“Hey, baby, you’re….” I swallowed my words as I took in his dressing.
He’s already dressed for school, he’s perfectly groomed in his school uniform.. making him look very smart.
“… you’re ready for school?”
“Yeah, daddy got me ready” he replied.
Just then Thanatos walked in with a tray of milk and bread, judging by his dressing, he’s already dressed for work.
Wow! My boyfriend is so caring, he didn’t even bother to wake me up… he’s so sweet.
“Good morning, baby” I greeted him cheerfully.
He glanced at me briefly, then turned back to Davis with a big grin.
“Buddy, here’s your milk and bread” he said.
He dropped the tray in front of Davis, I rushed towards him and hugged him from behind.
Right… Davis already started eating and he’s not paying any attention to us.
“Baby, how was your night?” I asked him.
“Sad!”
He turned around and planted a short peck on my lips, then untangled my arms from his waist.
I frowned.
“But I need more kss” I grumbled under my breath.. but he heard it somehow.
“Go tell your darling to give you more ”
He leaned down and kissed Davis’s forehead.
“Daddy’s going to work now, I’ll pick you up after school.. ok?”
Davis nodded and pecked his (Thanatos) cheek in return.
“Bye, daddy”
“See you later buddy” he said.
He walked towards the living room, where he had dropped his briefcase yesterday and I followed him.
“Baby, Peter give you and Davis a ride.. I’m rushing off”
“Aren’t you gonna kiss me goodbye?” I asked.
Like seriously, I don’t understand why I’m craving his lips so much this morning.
“Your darling will come and kss you” he replied.
He leaned down and pecked my lips very briefly, like his lips just touched mine and left immediately.
I rolled my eyeballs.
“Childishness!”
He stuck out his tongue at me, then rushed off.
Hmm.. I should go take my bath and get ready for work too. I just hope Elvis doesn’t blow up my ears today..
You know, I haven’t gone to work for weeks now and I didn’t seek for his permission.

WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 41 – 5
Writer’s pov ?
Mike’s kitchen.
Click!
Click!
Click!
Her heels hit the floor as she walked in, making her the center of attraction.
She’s dressed in an office attire, but it’s obviously made from very expensive material.
Her Dior bag and glassy shoes are the trendiest in all of America, her skin white.
She would be seen as the fairest of all, if this was snow white’s century.
She carried herself so gracefully, which made some girls envy and wish to be her.
Her footsteps are in a perfect rhyme, she walked so proudly…full of confidence and carries a queen Elizabeth’s aura along.
Making other girls inferior before her.
*Who’s she?*
*Is she the very important guest Elvis talked about?*
*She must be her, she’s a beauty!*
*I love her shoes.. and her bag.. oh, oh, her hair*
She ignored every side talk and focused on the man rushing towards her.
“Welcome to Mike’s kitchen, miss…”
“Mrs O’Briens!” She corrected him.
Series of gasps are heard immediately she said that, all the waitresses started whispering.
*How come she’s Mrs O’Briens?*
*Could it be she’s the real wife? What does that makes Jasmine?*
*The other woman of course!*
*Good heavens! I can’t believe Jasmine would be a husband snatcher!*
She smirked as she heard them blaspheming Jasmine, she held her head up proudly.
Elvis paused and stared at her in confusion, questions were running in his head.
“Mrs O’Briens?” Elvis asked.
“Yes”
Elvis frowned, he stared at her from her head to her toes.
“Tell your boss Mr McMahon’s assistant is here!” She snapped him out from his daze.
He nodded. “I’ll be right back” he said and rushed towards Thanatos office.
Some of the waitresses rushed forward to have a proper look at her, their eyes worshipped her as though she’s a goddess.

WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 41 – 50
Thanatos pov ?
I was just done checking the emails June sent to me, when I heard a knock on the door.
“Come in” I said.
The door pushed open and Elvis walked in, I adjusted myself on the chair and wait for him to state the reason he’s here.
“Mr O’Briens!” He called me.. a little bit rude.
He stared at me weirdly, he’s glaring at me as if I have committed a crime.. I banged on my table and he averted his eyes.
“State why you’re here!” I growled.
“Mr McMahon’s assistant is here” he said.
I nodded. “Let her in” I replied.
“Yes, sir” he replied and left.. not before giving me a glare though.
After he’s left, I leaned back on my chair and began massaging my temple.. before McMahon’s assistant would come.
But it didn’t take long, like I was expecting.. the door suddenly burst open and McMahon’s assistant walked in.
I lifted my head and…. Jasmine’s sister?
“Hello, Thana” she said.
“What are you doing here? Who let you in?” I asked.
She stared at me briefly and laughed, she started walking towards me $eductively.. with a fllrtatious smile on.
Wait…she can’t be McMahon’s assistant..right?
“Are you McMahon’s assistant?” I voiced out my thought.
“Of course”
She giggled, then winked at me.
“We haven’t seen for long, are you surprised?”
She stopped in front of me, she leaned down and shoved her chest in my face.
“Thana… Do you miss me?”
