The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50- Fireworks and pleasure 

Male staff in a white and black uniform walked up to Tessa and Aaron and bowed, saying, Welcome, Sir and Ma’am. Let me escort you to your suite.”

Aaron grabbed Tessa’s hand and laced their fingers. They followed the staff who led them down a hallway with expensive marble floors and golden chandeliers on the ceiling. He brought them to a presidential suite with a living room, balcony and bedroom.

“Dinner is already served on the balcony. You can enjoy your food while enjoying the view of the ocean. I hope you enjoy your weekend,” the staff presented with reverence.

“Thank you,” Aaron said and led Tessa to the balcony.

Dinner was set up on a nicely decorated table. As usual, he drew out a chair for Tessa and helped her sit. Then he grabbed his chair and sat next to her, instead of opposite her. He proclaimed huskily, “I want to be close to you. The table is too long, I can’t even do this…”

He placed his hand on Tessa’s thigh and caressed it agonisingly slowly.

Tessa blushed and replied, “Ok. I don’t want to shout when talking too.’

Aaron smirked, noticing how her face had become a shade darker. He withdrew his hand and poured her a glass of champagne.

The two of them had a pleasant dinner. When they looked at the ocean, they could see moonbeams shining on the water and as the cruise ship moved, a gentle breeze would hit them occasionally.

Aaron suddenly stood up and walked into the suite. It didn’t take long for him to come out but Tessa realised he had a guitar in his hands.

She raised an eyebrow when he stood a few meters away, just next to the rails of the ship and played a few strings as if he was testing the guitar. She asked, “Can you play the guitar?”

“There’s nothing that I cannot do, love,” Aaron replied with a co cky smirk.

Tessa rolled her eyes. She said, “Ok, are you going to sing for me?”

“Yes. I want to sing a song for you. This is my dedication to you, Tessa. Losing you taught me a very painful lesson. It’s not a mistake I will ever repeat. I love you with all my soul and I can confidently say you’re my one and only woman.”

He then began to play a song with his guitar and Tessa recognized the tune as John Legend and Meghan Trainor’s song called ‘Like I’m gonna lose you’. Starting with the male verse, Aaron sang while looking into her eyes.

“In the blink of an eye, just a whisper of smoke

You could lose everything, the truth is you never know

1/5

So I’ll kiss you longer, babe, any chance that I get

I’ll make the most of the minutes and love with no regret

Let’s take our time to say what we want

Use what we got before it’s all gone

‘Cause no, we’re not promised tomorrow.”~

Tessa’s eyes blurred with tears. She never knew Aaron could sing and he had a very lovely voice that could make you want to drop your panties. Her heart felt full and butterflies fluttered in her stomach the more she listened to the words of the song.

She stood up and walked up to Aaron as he sang the chorus as he played the guitar with a higher note.

“So I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you

I’m gonna

gonna hold

you, like I’m saying goodbye

Wherever we’re standing, I won’t take you for granted

‘Cause we’ll never know when, when we’ll run out of time

So I’m gonna love you, like I’m gonna lose you

I’m gonna love you, like I’m gonna lose you.’

Aaron played a few strings, trailing the melody while looking at Tessa with so much love in his eyes. When finally he put the guitar down, Tessa rushed towards him and leaned up for a kiss, which he met eagerly, connecting their lips in an explosive kiss.

Just then, fireworks shot up into the sky, exploding into a dazzling display of colours that lit up the sky.

Aaron let up from the kiss and then Tessa whipped around to watch the fireworks. A big smile crossed her lips, recalling how she had felt Aaron’s emotions when he sang for her.

Glancing at Aaron, she said, “Thank you, Aaron. For everything. I don’t even know what to say. Haven’t you made me a millionaire with these gifts already?”

Aaron smirked and caressed her cheek, replying, “These gifts can’t compare to the love I have for you, my love. There’s not an ocean too deep, or a mountain too high that can be used to measure my love for you. It’s immeasurable. The gifts I give you are just a token of appreciation. What I intend to give you forever is my heart, my time and my attention.”

Tessa’s eyes stung with tears. Her heart was pounding erratically as she stared into Aaron’s soulful eyes. The emotions he was displaying in his eyes made her feel overwhelmed. The tears she was holding back rolled down her cheeks.

‘How can he love me so much?”

This was the love she had always wanted and often dreamed about. When she made the decision to not fall in love, that was her not wanting to waste her time with someone who wouldn’t reciprocate her feelings or give her the same energy she put into the relationship.

Deep down, she wanted to love and to be loved. A love so strong that she could see it in her partner’s eyes. She could feel it in his words and see it through his actions.
