Kade's rival tries to defeat Kade. Lily chooses husband Kade over everything she stands for.
-----------------------------------------
I get dressed. I am wearing an off shoulder purple gown that hugs my curves. I apply light makeup. My hair is piled up in place secured with pins. Soft blonde curls are let down towards the sides that give me a regal look. I stare at my reflection in the mirror. The person staring back is beautiful and outwordly. Calm and composed. But I know that a vortex of emotions are raging through me.
My thoughts were all centered on one person- Kade- my soon to be ex-husband. I filed for divorce. Pushing all thoughts about him away from my mind, I take a deep breath. I was to attend this charity ball. The proceeds would go to hospitals that focus on childhood cancer. Adrian would be escorting me. I was waiting for him. He arrives and drives us to the venue.
Aimless chatter from the guests fills the air. After the auction, Adrian and I make our way to the dancefloor. Suddenly, my spine tingles, as if someone is watching me. I look around and meet his eyes. My blue ones clashing into his green. His eyes travel downward toward the place where Adrian is holding my waist. His fist tightens. His face set in stone. His eyes expressionless. His face calm. But I can see it is not. His hard jaw gives it away. I can see his jaw tighten. His nostrils flaring. Looking at Adrian as if he would want to murder him any minute.
No one knows he is the Night Shade- the infamous supervillain. Not even Adrian. He looks out of place in here. He turns on his heel and leaves. The spell is broken.
After a dance, I excuse myself to use the restroom. After I touch up on my makeup. I leave. As I walk along the corridor, the feeling of being watched again returns. I rejoin the dinner party. Adrian and I have our dinner and we leave. He drops me at my home. He gently places a kiss on my cheek. He grabs and waist and tries to place a kiss on my lips. I avert my face.
"Adrian, I am getting late. I need to go home."
"Ah, Lily. You are divorced. Give us a chance."
" Adrain, I am in the middle of a divorce. And besides Adrian, I need time."
He sighs reluctantly and releases me. He places a kiss on my palm and leaves.
I enter my home. I sigh. Maybe I should break things up with Adrian. How can I date someone when Kade is always at the back of my mind?
I go to my bedroom, undress and take a shower. I brush my teeth. and wear my pink silk negligee. I finish my nightly routine and get ready for bed.
" You look stunning as always, my darling." Just hearing his smooth baritone makes me feel giddy. I half turn my head towards the voice.
"Kade..what are you doing here?", I reply just as calmly.
He walks into the room. He is behind me. I can feel his breath on my neck.
"You look more beautiful than the last time I saw you, my wife.", he says lifting his hand and gently carressing my cheek.
As usual he avoids answering my question.
"I am not your wife anymore, Kade." I reply vehemently.
"Shush, my darling. When I said I will not let you go, I meant it. You really think a piece of paper stating we are not married anymore will keep you away from me?", he taunts.
" I will file a restraining order against you, Kade.", I say breathlessly. His nearness making me unable to think clearly.
He laughs. His rich voice carrying across the room.
"My darling vicious wife, I'd like to see you try.", he whispers while he nuzzles the side of my cheek and throat with his nose.
" And darling, stay away from Wroths, I assume you would hate to see him with a broken limb... or neck ", he says in that deceptively soothing voice.
"Kade, stay away from Adrian!!", I say and turn around.
His hand closes around my throat. He does not apply pressure. I can still breathe, but the threat is still there.
"Defending your white knight, my darling kitten?", he grates out menacingly.
" Kade, let go!", I bite out forcefully.
" I saw you with him just now, entwined together like vines. I do not tolerate disloyalty- particularly from my wife.", he whispers deceptively in my ear.
I break out of his hold. I suddenly feel cold after I step out of his forceful embrace.
"Kade you need to leave. Now.", I say forcefully with conviction.
"Never!!"
"Kade, you and I are worlds apart. We are complete opposites. I have a code of conduct that is completely different than yours. Look at us. We are a joke. We cannot be together. Not as acqaintances, not as friends and definitely not as Husband and Wife!!", I am shouting by the time I finish.
"Did you sleep with Wroths?"
"What?"
"I asked whether you slept with Wroths."
"Don't be absurd, Kade. What does Adrian have to do with any of this? This is between you and me."
He laughs menacingly, full of malice
"Oh, my darling wife. I figured out how that devious little brain of yours works. You think by divorcing me you can be with your white knight. Huh? Never! You are stuck with me. You think your white knight can give you what you want? Nobody knows you the way I do."
His face is full of wrath and rage. He is advancing towards me. I am scared silly. I take a step backwards. The atmosphere in the room changes according to his mood. The air around us is suddenly hotter. The floor starts shaking. My cupboards and drawers move. It is like a mini earthquake.
"Kade, stay back!!", I say, throwing ice bolts at his feet to try and stop him. It does not deter him. I use my powers to cool the air around me. This results in a steamy room. I see his face from the steamy mist.
He has almost reached me now. The back of my knees hit my bed and I lose balance and I fall. He is upon me before I get a chance to get up.
Losing control like this is bad for him.
He grabs my waist. He is not in control with himself.
