Chapter 11 - Chapter 11

"What are you doing here?"

Aston's voice sounded so surprised upon seeing another woman in their living room instead of his wife. The light was dim, making the surroundings romantic. His heart nearly jumped out from his chest after finding Natalie sitting on their living room sofa. 

"Surprised," Natalie gazed at Aston and said.

She only wears thin red lingerie, holding a glass of wine in her hand. Her lips are very red and her tone of voice is seductive. She put the glass of wine down on the glass table and walked towards Aston.

Her strong perfume quickly invaded the man's nose. Natalie grabbed her necktie. "Don't look for your wife. She ran away from her bastard husband." She removed the necktie real quick and then pushed Aston down on the other sofa. 

Natalie didn't let him escape as he put her legs around Aston and clung onto him. She unbuttoned his polo while looking at him with such seductive eyes.

"What are you doing?" Aston asked.

"I want you to fuck me," Natalie whispered to his ears.

Her voice made Aston's libido go up. He smirked and grabbed Natalie by her hair. "Oh, are you hungry for my touch?" he asked.

"Yes, daddy." Natalie crawled down and smiled upon seeing the bulging thing inside Aston's pants. She giggled and used her lips to unzip the man's pants.

Asking about Carole lost from Aston's mind. He didn't even know how Natalie entered their house. He got too busy and excited as soon as Natalie seduced him. Unlike Carole, Natalie likes to try a lot of things and she can keep up to the things he likes when it comes to bed. 

He immediately felt the pleasure as soon as Natalie did him down there. His fist clenched and all his stress from the company disappeared. He grabbed Natalie's hair and shoved her down more.

"Did you like that?" Natalie asked with a naughty smirk on her face as if she didn't get choked earlier.

Aston didn't answer and stood up. He pulled Natalie up and carried her in his arms. The lady was surprised. She clung onto his shoulders.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

Aston kissed her and said. "Let's do this in the bedroom." 

The lady chuckled and nodded her head. Inside her mind, she won tonight. Her plans are going well. After brainwashing Carole, her best friend finally left the mansion. She quickly prepared and headed there to wait for Aston.

Natalie got the mansion key by stealing it from Aston's car and making a duplicate. As soon as they reached the master's bedroom, which was supposed to be Carole and Aston's bedroom as married couple, she smiled. 

Aston opened the door and headed to the bed. He put Natalie down and quickly took off his pants. He took off his clothes and jumped into Natalie like a hungry prey. 

The two of them enjoyed the moment as if they were in their own world, forgetting the betrayal they are making.

Carole was awoken by the repeated doorbell. Her eyes slowly blinked, recalling where she was. She was not in the mansion but in the room she rented for a week. The doorbell rang again, making her sprang up. 

"Coming," Carole said, trying to fight the dizziness she was feeling after getting up. 

She opened the door and was surprised to see the lady receptionist earlier. She blinked and rubbed her eyes. 

"What is it?" she asked.

The lady receptionist felt guilty because Carole looks like she just woke up from her sleep. 

"I'm sorry for disturbing you, Madam." she said.

"It's fine," Carole replied.

"Madam, earlier when I asked for your reservation, you said the wrong name." The lady receptionist said, looking very apologetic. 

Carole was speechless. Her eyebrows squinted and asked. "What do you mean?" 

"We already have your name registered and it was Carole Meridith Albrecht, not Carole Meridith Hale. I understand that you wanted privacy, but do you have any IDs so that I can register the surname Hale instead of Albrecht?" 

Carole then finally remembered. She didn't want to associate her name with this hotel because Aston might have found out where she was. Thinking of it, she suddenly felt sad. 

"Is he looking for me right now?" she asked herself. 

She looked at the receptionist. "I have, please wait." 

Carole went back inside her room and rummaged through her bags. Her old IDs has the surname Hale in it. However, she couldn't find any. She got her phone from the bed and looked at the time.

It's 8pm in the evening. For sure Aston hasn't gone home yet. He usually comes home at 10 in the night. The ID she needed was in their mansion. Of all the things, that's the one she forgot. 

Carole went back to the door and talked to the lady receptionist saying that she forgot it at home. The lady receptionist understood but they can't go against the hotel policy, so she helped Carole get a car to go back to the mansion.

Carole put on her cardigan and went outside with her phone and wallet. She took the elevator with the lady receptionist and headed to the lobby. The security guard helped her get a car immediately.

"Where to go, Madam?" the driver asked. 

Carole told the address directly to the driver. After that, she leaned her back on the car seat and sighed. Looking outside the car window, the streetlights blinded her as it hit her eyes. The road wasn't busy anymore and the drive was quick. 

She didn't get out in front of the mansion because she didn't want to grab any attention. She has the keys with her. She preferred to walk and quickly opened the door.

She halted when she noticed the dim yellow light in the living room and the glass of wine on the table. Carole's heart started to beat faster when she saw Aston's coat scattered on the sofa. 

"Is he already home?" she asked herself.

She felt her chest clenched. If Aston was here, he should be looking for her, right? But her phone calls were empty, which means her husband hadn't called her.
