He was inches away from her lips when he suddenly yelled in pain, letting go of her hands. She pushed him off the bed and sat up.
Divean groaned louder as his hands moved down between his legs. His angry eyes glared up at her. She had moved her leg and using her knee jerked it forcefully in between his legs.
"I told you to let me go " she smirked seeing him in pain.
The door opened and Alia walked in with two maids standing behind her. They seemed to be holding their breakfast.
"Mommy, where is Daddy?" she asked.
Divean's head popped out from the other side of the bed.
"Right here honey " he forced a smile.
"Are you okay Dad, you look sick too?" she asked.
His eyes glanced up at Snow who pretended not to notice and chuckled.
"Am fine sweetie " he lied.
The maids placed their breakfast aside and left with the little girl.
Snow left the bed and moved to the bathroom leaving Divean still cleaning in bed.
She gasped for air when she closed the door
What was he going to teach me, was he going to kiss me ?".
Snow faced her image in the mirror noticing her red face too. After last night she was going to trust any man so easily even when he was helping her.
When she left the bathroom after her bath, Divean was gone. She sighed and sat down alone to have her breakfast.
After getting Alia ready for school she came downstairs with her.
Divean was chatting with his mother when they entered the living room.
"Ready?" he turned to his daughter.
She nodded, he kissed his mother's cheek and got up.
"Let's go then " he said walking past the two.
Snow noticed something about him but didn't mind.
She followed him to the car helped Alia into the car and kissed her goodbye.
When they left Snow got back inside and met with mother in law.
*Did something happen?" she asked.
"No, is something bothering you?".
Snow frowned.
"He seemed upset " she pointed out.
"Ohh don't mind him" his mother said and left.
.....
When Divean returned he found her busy with the business partners' profiles.
"Your back " she looked up.
"Mmm," he muttered sitting down.
His eyes watching her while she returned to what she was doing.
"Something I don't understand, about these two," she said.
He got up moving to where she was. He bent down behind her, his arms trapping her in between his chest and the table.
His masculine sweet scent wafted into her nostrils and she held her breath.
"There are brothers, but Robert left the family and changed his name " he explained.
"Ohh, and this one " she asked.
"He died last year in an accident " he replied.
Snow kept asking questions and Divean went on to explain.
"You seem interested in them".
"No I just wanted to be sure, I knew some things about you and the company so I could tabs on you but now I will be under you so it's different " she yawned.
"Mmm, alright " he looked down at her. "Tired?".
She met his gaze and fluttered, she always knew he was among the most handsome men, but not this good.
His face seemed to be perfectly craved, taken time on so they could bring out the beauty of every feature on his face.
"That's enough for today, go rest," he said pulling away.
She breathed.
"I will after am done with this " she said.
"Alright don't go crazy over it, you still have a few days before you go to the company," he said walking to the door.
"I know but I need to be perfect at it..or any flaw can expose us " she muttered going back to her research.
He closed the door letting her continue.
....
"She has been there the whole day, maybe it's time she comes out," said Miss Alexander.
Divean sighed gazing back at the study door.
She had not stepped out since he left her there, it was now dinner time and Snow was still locked up inside.
"Go get her," said his mother.
He knocked on the door and when he met with silence swung it open.
He sighed seeing Snow fast asleep among the pile of papers she had been reading. Most of them scatted all over the floor.
"Why are you sleeping here?" he moved to where she was.
Snow didn't move, her eyes tightly shut.
He didn't want to wake her up so he went down quietly and carried her.
Snow moved into his chest fitting perfectly, still fast asleep.
Divean didn't say anything as he received stares from the staff, his mother and his daughter as he carried the sleeping Snow up to her room.
She crawled into a the ball when he landed her in bed pulled the covers over her and sat down next to her.
"Am sorry " she muttered.
"Huh?" Divean frowned bending closer to hear what she was saying.
"Am sorry...I could not save you " she cried.
His eyes rested on her pale face as the tears flowed out of her closed eyes.
"Stop worrying about the past," he said to her.
"Am sorry....am so sorry " she kept on crying.
Divean slid his hand to wipe her tears but she grabbed it and her eyes slightly opened.
"I could not save him...my poor baby " she cried.
"Constance...".
"It still hurts no matter what I do to push it away "her tears fell.
Divean pushed her hair away from her face, "You need to let it go, Constance. It's the only way you will be able to do this ".
"But...but...it hurts so much, how can I stop it from hurting " she cried.
"Come here " he muttered.
Snow sniffed and sat up falling into his arms. Divean warm embrace filled her with warmth.
"We will find a way together, I promise " he whispered.
Snow looked up at him her tears still falling, he noticed and gazed down back at her.
They didn't say anything to each other but kept looking back at each other
Without portent she moved kissing him, it was an alight bump of her lips on his, but enough to freeze him in place. Soft and warm, it felt in that brief moment.
He blinked, "What was that?"
Snow giggled.
"A kiss, what would it be "
He breathed looking back at her, "My dear wife that's not the right way they kiss your husband "
The appearance of a smirk on his face made Snow fall back.
