After the incident where Avians saw Adrian angry at Sarah's friends, it made Avians a little afraid of her own husband.
Coupled with their now strained relationship, it made Avians see Adrian less and less. He would come home at midnight, and would leave after breakfast without saying anything until two weeks had passed.
The loneliness within Avians grew, she could only sit in her room, hoping Adrian would come home and hug and kiss her again like he used to.
"You're the only one who makes my day better. Only in your arms, I feel so much calmer," she murmured.
Not finding the answer to her problem, Avians told Elena about it. How Adrian had been this past month after the incident with Cecillia and Zoey extorting her money to the tea party with Sarah and her friends two weeks ago.
Elena listened carefully to Avians' story over the phone.
"I see, I guess Ian finally raised his claws like I said. But, that doesn't make you doubt him, does it?"
"No, I'm... I'm actually worried about him. I'm worried that he will continue like that, being in trouble that he keeps to himself. The frustration inside him he never expresses," Avians replied.
Hearing Avians' answer, Elena became a little more relieved that Avians had not changed her mind by leaving Adrian or anything because she saw her younger brother's true nature.
She also asked about the gift she had given Avians that day, whether Avians had worn it or not. She replied that she hadn't, she felt so hesitant to wear it in front of Adrian.
"You should try it on tonight! Maybe then Ian will melt and your relationship will become close again!" said Elena.
"Really? What if Ian doesn't like it anymore?"
"No way! Ian is still a man after all. I'm sure deep down inside, he'll like it. Try it!"
Avians agreed to Elena's suggestion. She would wear the gift her sister-in-law gave her tonight, hoping to improve her relationship with Adrian.
*****
Later that evening when the clock struck eleven, Adrian staggered home. His head hurt so much and his body felt hot. He had just had a few glasses of whiskey before going home to let go of the troubles that had been going on around him lately.
To be honest he was quite annoyed at Avians who could never say 'no' or even refuse what she didn't want. The woman was so innocent that she kept getting into trouble.
However, at the same time he felt guilty for staying away from his wife. He just wanted her to admit her mistake and have the courage to say what she wanted. Even if it was a short conversation from her.
But Avians just kept quiet, making Adrian continue to silence her until Avians could start a conversation with him.
"Welcome home, Mr. Adrian. You look drunk today," Jonnah greeted, trying to help Adrian walk.
Adrian signaled that he was fine and could walk on his own. Jonnah could only nod at the sight of his master coming home drunk again.
Ever since he had brought the Avians to the house, Adrian had never drank again.
When Adrian arrived at the door of his room, he knew that Avians must be asleep. That night he would take a bath to ease his hangover and then go to bed.
When he opened the door, Avians was still awake and came straight to him.
Adrian's gray eyes stared at Avians who was wearing a purple lingerie with her hair tied in a messy bun, making her beautiful body even more obvious from under the thin lingerie.
Her body looked very sexy, her round cleavage and smooth thighs. The night gown she usually wore didn't show all that, but the lingerie she was wearing now really caught Adrian's attention.
"Welcome home, Ian. You're home late again tonight," Avians said.
Avians was actually embarrassed because this was the first time she had worn such a revealing outfit in front of her husband. She walked over to Adrian and helped him untie his tie.
Adrian's eyes couldn't leave Avians, his body hot from the alcohol he had consumed made Adrian try hard to control himself.
"Avi," he called as he rubbed Avians cheek with the back of his hand, his touch going down Avians neck and shoulders and the delicate collarbone.
"Ian." Avian was happy to feel Adrian's touch again.
The sound of Avians calling his name made Adrian even less able to control himself. His desire pushed him to touch Avians further.
Like an aphrodisiac, Adrian kissed Avians' lip deeply, enough to make the woman gasp in shock before her body was pushed against the wall by Adrian's strong hands.
One hand held Avians' hands above her head, while the other slipped under her lingerie and fingered her stomach and hips.
"Ahh... Ian!" she moaned in the midst of their deep kiss.
This was the first time Avians felt the touch of Adrian's hands on her skin, especially on her stomach and waist.
From behind his linger, Adrian squeezed Avians' breasts which were still wearing a bra, of course it made the woman feel surprised.
His kisses moved to her neck.
Adrian's hands holding Avians' arms began to lower, as his right hand squeezed her breasts, his left hand went down to touch Avians' sensitive area between her legs.
"Nghh!" Avians reflexively moaned loudly.
Her face was flushed, she had not expected that Adrian would touch her to this extent. She could feel the man's fingers probing outside her panties. A tingling sensation that made Avians hips shiver.
"Ian..." Once again Avians called out the man's name.
Instantly rousing himself from what he was doing, Adrian pulled away and released Avians' body from his touch.
Avians stared at the billionaire with bated breath and a look of confusion. Why was he suddenly so far away?
"Avi I..."
Adrian stared at Avians' reddened face after he touched her. He looked away and went into the bathroom.
Leaving Avians feeling confused and sad.
She was confused why Adrian seemed like someone who didn't want to touch her further, sad because she felt Adrian's annoyance with her was still so great that the man went straight into the bathroom without saying anything.
Avians thought that the night could indeed bring the two of them back together after the intimacy that happened a few minutes ago. However, it was all for naught.
"Please Ian, don't... Abandon me away too."
