I just banged on the control panel in anger crashing out the entire system and halted out the elevator in the middle of the third and second floor. The elevator got stuck, shaking the floor under our feet. I grabbed the handrail to prevent myself from falling over.

“What the.” She said out loud as the elevator came to an unexpected stop. The usual elevator hum as it zoomed past floors was now gone, and I couldn’t feel any vibrations either. We’d most definitely gotten stuck.

I heard a soft groan from behind me and I looked up to see in the reflection that she behind me had fallen.

“Shit!” I turned around and offered her my hand.

“You, okay?” I asked. She nodded, taking my hand, and allowing herself to be pulled up.

“I think we got stuck,” I replied, tapping on the 1st-floor button. The elevator buttons were not lighting up. I then tried the emergency bell button. It rang with a sharp buzz as I held it down for a few seconds before letting go. But when there was no response after waiting a while, I pressed it again, longer this time. But still, there was no response.

“Goddammit,” I said, now whipping out my phone and looking for a number to call near the buttons. I soon found it and dialled the number. A sleepy voice picked up, and I explained the situation to them.

“Okay, help will be along shortly,” I said, putting down the call. She nodded before leaning back against the elevator handrails. I sat down on the floor instead.

I dialled William and informed him about the situation, and she dialled her husband and did the same. I shouldn’t have shown out my frustration.

“Why can’t you leave your stupidity? Just because of you we got stuck, my daughter is crying.”

“Shut the fuck up!! What just your daughter, only your daughter, then what!! You had a son too. Even he is crying for you. You’re getting messed up for one hour late, but you left him forever. You cannot see Ian’s pain. You can’t consider him as your son. Look, with whom I’m talking all this! Shut your mouth and sit quiet or else instead of that power board, I will bang you out of this lift. Your alive still not because I love you, but because you’re a woman, mother, wife. Don’t take my patience for granted.” I scoffed in anger. She jumped away, sitting in the corner. I texted William to know about my son’s condition and I’m glad he is happy. In his mom’s absence, he learned to live mature and independent.

It’s been one hour, but we got no help. I looked at her, who is sobbing out in the other corner. I hate those tears. I found her struggling with her phone, which is dark. I think its battery drenched out. I extended my phone to call her family. I just hate the fact that she moved on.

“Th... Thanks” She mumbled grabbing my phone. She dialled up the number.

“How is Eva? Did she have milk? Is she crying? Noah! Please do something.” She cried on the phone.

“Are you alone?” Noah asked loud which is easily audible.

“No, I’m along with my CEO. we both got stuck.”

“Means with your EX” Noah yelled, which is clearly audible to me. She closed the speakers to avoid me.

“Shut up, I will be back as soon as possible. Please take care of Eva. If anything, else, call back to this number” She said hanging up the call. She gave back my phone.

“Your husband knows about your past affair?” I asked in a sarcastic tone.

“I already said to you, my relationship is transparent. He knows everything about my past and he is present and future.” She said proudly, wiping off her tears.

“Yes, after all! You ruined two lives to build a new family.” She turned away, not responding. I called William to pour out my frustration.

“Maya will take care of Ian. You just come and get one good mechanic to sort my lift. I’m dying sitting here!” I snapped in anger.

“Oh, hello even I’m dying ok. Even I’m not interested to look at you” She spat.

“Is it Niya beside you?” He asked in a suspicious tone.

“Yes, so what!! Just do your fucking job!” I screamed.

“Ok, sir, I’m coming!!”

“New CEO, look at your company how good management. It’s been two hours still no help came. They are not caring CEO than what about the normal staff. Change in management means should change for improvement, not for disaster.” She taunted, burning me.

“Oh really, so you married that Noah for improvement. What the fuck he had which I don’t have?” I scoffed.

“He is better than you in everything. You better don’t get my personal life here. “ She shouted. Seriously smacking my happy life madam wants me to stay calm. My eyes rolled on her beautiful feet, which are just out of her heels. I just can’t take off my eyes.

She was wearing a white tank top and loose blue mini skirt with white floral patterns on it. She wore nude-coloured pump heels and held a small pink handbag in her slender arms, along with a grey blazer.

“Is he good on bed?” I snuggled on the metal frame, eying her.

“Sorry!”

“Is he good on bed?” I added with a smirk. I felt she will get angry, but to my surprise.

“Of course, he is, so we had a daughter in just two months of relation. His stamina is outstanding. All our nights are sleepless, exhausting. We are planning on expanding too.” She asserted, looking with a smirk. I crawled towards her, pulling her tiny feet on my lap. She tried to pull out of my grip, but I gave her a powerful pull before she bumped on my lap. I

“That’s so good. We had some time left to get free out of this elevator. Why not we have some fun? After all, now you might be on pills.” I chuckled, moving her tight skirt above.

“What the fuck?” She sneered, trying to push my hands.

“Yes, I just want a good fuck. It’s been so long I tasted you. I was a starving baby. I want to prove you my stamina too” I grinned harshly pushing up her skirt and led her over my throbbing monster which hides in my pant.

“Markkk, just let go. Are you out of your mind!!” She cried, pushing me away.

“Don’t you think you should repay me for the call you made from my phone” I growled, holding her struggling hands.

“I do your one-year recharge right now” She shouted pushing me still fighting to get free.

“Ok, do now. I will let you go,” I smirked with an evil smile. Her eyes fell on her dead phone lying in her open bag. She got her wallet and smashed it on my face.

“You had $3000 and my cards. Do a lifetime recharge,” She shrieked with attitude.

“Seriously, you’re paying price for me. You promised to do it yourself. The great marketing chief doesn’t know the fact the situation influences the price of the product. When you’re in deadly need, I helped you. You should pay the price equal to your peace which you gained after knowing wellbeing of your daughter. Your love and care cost only this? Come on, don’t let yourself down. Give me something precious,” I whispered with a chuckle. She pushed me back and got up from me. I made my way to reach her in the tiny space.

“Just stop there, I was married. I can’t be doing it. Just stay away” She cried out. Her voice is shaking with my every step closer. I ignored her pleadings and pushed her on the metal wall. My hands moved inside her messy hair, pulling away her hair clip. I caressed her shaking lips, circling them.

“M... Ma... Markkk pleaseee “ She whispered, moving her already numb hands on my shirt. I leaned against her lips, pulling them into a heavenly kiss. I just miss these juicy lips. They feel so soft melting like jelly in my mouth. As I kissed her soft, her hands left my abs and moved higher to my hand. Her hands pulled me more on her. To my surprise, she kissed me back. My hairs moved out of her hair towards her crop top groping her twins, kissing her furiously. She gasped in between kiss as I increased my dominance. She gave me tough competition. Suddenly my mind flashed her husband. I parted away, comprehending the reality. She is not mine. I walked away cursing my fate. My eyes wandered to look at her face. She turned away. Settling her dress. She moved on, then how can she kiss me back.
