The Goddess Sculpture Is Actually My Husband’s Secret Mistress! - Chapter 65: Chapter 65

And there in the corner, out of everyone's sight, sat Marcus on the floor, his head leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. He looked so vulnerable and fragile as if he was in immense pain.
My eyes started watering as I stared at him. My heart clenched in pain to see him helpless. He didn't open up to me and that's what scared me about confessing to him. He still didn't trust me enough to keep his secrets.
Tears started falling down to my cheeks and I ran to him wanting to engulf him in a warm hug telling him that he has me, that he was not alone. I knelt down in front of him and held him by his shoulders. He opened his eyes and my lips trembled seeing the sadness and pain in his glossy eyes.
"Marcus" I said in a broken voice and cupped his face in my hands.
He panicked as soon as he saw my tear stained face. He pulled me closer bringing me to his lap. He started wiping the tears away with his thumb, looking worried.
"Serapha why are you crying? Please don't cry"
"Marcus why did you leave? Are you ok? Please tell me if something's wrong. I can't bear to see you in pain" My voice was quivering as I tried to talk through my sobs.
"Shh" He kept his index finger on my lips. "I'm not in pain"
"You are. Look at you. Did you remember a bad memory you had?" I tried wiping away the tears with my sleeves but they didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.
"I did not. I just remembered a good memory" he said with a small smile, reassuring me.
"You sure?" He nodded and looked at me with adoration glinting in his eyes.
"Don't cry now. I'm ok"
"I don't believe you" I said with a broken voice as I cried more. I was a Tsunami of tears right now but I didn't care.
A small chuckle escaped his lips and he brought me closer and leaned my head on his chest. He pressed a soft kiss on my head and started stroking my hair while I cried into his chest, wetting his perfect shirt.
"Were you worried about me?" I slowly nodded to his question.
He cupped my face with his hands and leaned my head back to look at me.
He stared at my eyes for a while and mumbled quietly, almost to himself. "What would I do without you Serapha"
I was so emotional right now that I yearned for his touch with all my life. I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face in the crook of his neck. I trailed my fingers to the back of his head and played with the bottom tendrils of his hair.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and adjusted me so that I was pressed to his chest. He leaned his head against mine and I looked up to him to see his eyes slowly fluttering close.
I didn't even notice how exhausted I was as my eyelids forcefully closed, drifting me off to a heavy sleep.
"Umm ma'am"
I woke up to someone clearing their throat. Slowly opening my eyes I saw Sarah standing with a smug look plastered on her face. Behind her the sun was already setting in the horizon, piercing the entire sky with a ray of red.
Marcus slightly stirred under me and I look down to see him slowly opening his eyes. I was still on his lap, pressed close to him.
"Ma'am the guests will be arriving in one hour"
My eyes bulged out of my sockets at her words. I looked at the time on Marcus's watch and was rendered speechless.
We had slept on the deck for two freaking hours? And I only had one hour to prepare for the opening ceremony?
I quickly stood up feeling anxious. Marcus tried standing up but his legs had gone numb with me sitting on them for two hours. I held out my hand for him to take and he gladly took it. I pulled him up with all my strength and hurried to our room to get changed.
I quickly took a shower and walked out in my bathrobe gesturing Marcus to go in so I could change in the room.
I quickly changed into an off shoulder black fishtail evening dress with two inch high heels. I rolled my hair up elegantly into a French twist and attached silver pins to keep it in place.
Marcus came out wearing a suit. His black tie tucked under his dark waistcoat matching perfectly with the white dress shirt underneath.
I blushed furiously seeing how handsome he was. The smirk on his face widened as he saw me checking him out. I quickly turned to the mirror and started applying my makeup.
He walked over and stood behind me, absorbing every inch of me with his hypnotising eyes. From the mirror I saw him inch closer and place a kiss on my bare shoulder. His lips trailed from my shoulder to my neck to my ear lobe and gently bit it, teasing me with his tongue.
He wrapped his arm around my waist and turned me to him, my hands landing on his chest trying balance myself. He leaned in to kiss me but I held my index finger on his lips.
