FROM BETRAYAL TO BLISS

"You always make me feel so relieved every time we make love," Kitana whispered as she rested her head on the pillow, drawing the blanket over her bare body.

She felt weak and exhausted after the passionate encounter with Jude, her fitness coach. Yet, her face lit up, radiating appreciation for how he made her feel so satisfied.

"I'm always at your service, baby. You know I can please you better than your business-obsessed fiancé who never spares time for you when you're in the mood. Instead, he prioritizes his company and leaves you yearning," Jude said while slipping on his clothes.

He was dark-skinned, tall, and possessed an impressive muscular build - a man sculpted by years of gym training. He worked as a fitness instructor and knew how to use his strength well.

Kitana managed to sit up, leaning her back against the wall. "I want you to come over again tomorrow. My fiancé will be out for work as usual. Can we make it a date?" she asked, smiling seductively. Her tongue slowly traced her upper and lower lips while her hands lingered on her breasts.

Jude gave her a lustful grin, his eyes glued to her curves. "Of course, baby. I'll be right here with you." He zipped up his trousers and picked up his phone, glancing at the time. "It's time I head out."

Kitana reached for her own phone and began typing. Just then, a notification buzzed on Jude's phone.

"I just made a bank transfer to you, Jude. See you tomorrow, sweet Jude," she said warmly.

Jude checked his phone and smiled in astonishment as he saw the generous amount she had sent.

"This is incredible. I really appreciate you, baby. I can't wait to have you again tomorrow."

Kitana grabbed her towel and loosely wrapped it around her waist. She stood up from the bed and walked slowly toward him, each step deliberate and graceful. Her eyes fixed on him, and her smile was inviting as she placed her hands gently on his shoulders.

"Can I have a kiss before you go?" she asked softly.

Jude, ever eager to fulfill her desires, placed his hands firmly on her waist, gazing into her eyes.

"Your wish is my command, baby."

He leaned in and kissed her passionately. Kitana closed her eyes, surrendering to his touch as his hands moved to her breasts. She slowly let her own hands slide from his shoulders to his chest, deepening the kiss with every breath.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She paused, turned to check the screen, and said, "It's my best friend, Angela. Jude, I have to take this. Bye for now - we'll continue tomorrow."

Jude smiled, running his hand across his face before walking to the door and leaving quietly.

"Hello, Angela. How are you doing?" Kitana answered the call.

"Hi dear, I'm good! How about you?" Angela replied with her usual sweet, feminine tone.

"It's been a while, babe. How's everything going on your end?" Kitana asked as she began straightening the bed.

"Everything's going well. I'll come visit soon - maybe today, maybe later - but I'm swamped with work, so I'm not sure yet. Just wanted to give you a heads-up," Angela said.

"That would be lovely, dear. I can't wait to see you, boss lady!" Kitana replied cheerfully.

"Take care, Kitana. My regards to your fiancé - I know he's not home at the moment."

"I will, dear. Thank you. Bye!" Kitana ended the call and placed her phone on the bed. She then headed into the bathroom to freshen up.

....

As dusk approached, a sleek black Toyota rolled into the garage.

Fred, Kitana's fiancé, had returned from a demanding day at work. He was the CEO of a renowned car brand in the city and had dealt with a frustrating issue earlier - a batch of imported vehicles arrived with missing parts, forcing the company to bear the cost of replacements due to a lapse in inspection.

Kitana stepped outside to welcome him. She wore a short, tight-fitting gown that emphasized her curvy figure, walking seductively toward him.

"Sweetheart, welcome home. I missed you all day. How was work?" Kitana asked as she collected his bag and suit.

Fred smiled at her, visibly captivated by her appearance. "My love, thank you. I'm so lucky to have such a caring and beautiful woman. I hope you made my favorite meal?"

"Of course! I prepared it earlier today, knowing you'd love it," she replied, interrupting him with a warm smile.

He hugged her and kissed her forehead, brushing his fingers through her hair. "Let's go inside."

They climbed the stairs together and entered the bedroom.

Kitana helped him out of his shirt. She always made him feel cherished, never giving him a reason to suspect her infidelity.

Fred sat on the edge of the bed, drained and deep in thought about the financial setback his company had suffered.

Kitana walked over and gently sat on his thigh, resting her hands on his chest.

Fred couldn't resist admiring her cleavage as it peeked through her gown. He leaned in and kissed her deeply.

"Your food is ready on the dining table. I'll be waiting to eat with you. Take your bath and join me, sweetheart," Kitana said, standing and walking away with a sultry sway.

Fred's eyes followed her every step, mesmerized.

"You're one lucky man, Fred," he thought. "I need to propose to her this weekend and finally make her my wife. Only then can I rightfully enjoy her completely."

He hadn't slept with Kitana since they started dating, believing it wasn't proper until marriage. Meanwhile, Kitana had been unable to suppress her desires and frequently sought satisfaction elsewhere.

Fred wrapped a towel around his neck and walked to the bathroom.

....

After showering, Fred made his way downstairs and joined Kitana at the dining table.

He sat across from her as she uncovered the dishes and began to serve the food.

"This is delicious - I'm really enjoying it," Fred said sincerely. He admired her culinary skills, especially her signature fried rice.

"Thank you, sweetheart. It's been a while since I made this for you, so I figured today was the perfect time," Kitana replied, smiling as she ate slowly.

Fred ate until he was full. "I'm good now, dear," he said, setting his spoon down. He drank a glass of water, stood up, and returned to the bedroom.

Kitana took the dishes to the kitchen and cleaned up before joining him.

Fred was already engrossed in his laptop, researching new car models for potential import.

"He's always buried in his work, never sparing time for intimacy," Kitana thought as she lay beside him, resting her head on the pillow.

It was already 8 p.m.

Fred glanced at her body, unintentionally noticing her curves, then quickly refocused on his screen, rubbing his hand across his face.

He had promised himself he wouldn't touch her until they were married - a vow he still intended to keep.

Kitana woke up early that morning, determined to prepare Fred's favorite breakfast. After carefully setting the table, she headed to the bedroom to join him. Fred stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his tie, already dressed and nearly ready for work.

"Sweetheart, your food is ready," she called softly.

Fred turned, offering a warm smile to his fiancée as she approached. He then turned back to the mirror, continuing to knot his tie. Kitana stepped behind him, gently helping to arrange it.

"Thank you so much, my love," Fred said. "You're the most wonderful woman I've ever met. I truly love you."

Kitana smiled and embraced him from behind.

"I'm yours, my darling," she whispered. "I love you deeply, and no one could ever take your place in my heart."

She moved to face him, resting her hands on his shoulders.

"You always dress so sharply. I love how you look."

"Thank you, sweetheart," Fred replied warmly.

Once he had finished getting ready, Fred made his way to the dining table, uncovered the dish, and began eating. Kitana followed and sat across from him, her face shadowed with concern. She rested her elbow on the table, her cheek leaning against her hand, watching as he ate in a rush.

Fred, focused on finishing quickly, hadn't noticed her expression. As he reached for his glass of water, he glanced at her and paused.

"My love, what's wrong? You look troubled. Is something bothering you?" he asked, his gaze filled with concern.

Kitana slowly pulled her hand away and looked down.

"You haven't been giving me the attention and affection I need as your fiancée," she said softly. "You avoid intimacy and seem completely absorbed in your work. It hurts me deeply, and I feel neglected."

Fred sipped his water, then leaned forward and gently took her hands in his.

"My darling, I understand how you feel. But I have my reasons. I'm waiting for the right moment-when you'll be my wife in the eyes of the law. That's when I believe we can fully enjoy all aspects of our relationship. All I ask is for your patience and faithfulness until then."

Kitana looked up, a tender smile spreading across her face.

"I understand, my dear. I promise to stay faithful until we're married."

Fred stood and walked over to her. She rose to meet him, and they held hands.

"I love you," she said, stepping closer.

He wrapped her in a warm embrace.

"Don't worry, sweetheart. The wedding plans are in motion. It won't be long now."

Kitana beamed. "I'm really happy to hear that. But aren't you already running late for work?"

Fred glanced at his wristwatch and smiled.

"No one questions the CEO," he joked. "But I still need to set a good example. Goodbye, my love. Stay safe."

He kissed her on the forehead and walked to the door. Kitana followed him outside and waved until his car disappeared down the road.

....

"Fred must come from some godly background. Who even does that-marriage before sex?" Kitana scoffed, pacing across the living room. "I can't wait that long for him to marry me. After all, I'm treating him well, and he has no idea I'm cheating."

She walked in and sank onto the couch, dialing a number.

"Hey babe, what's up?" Jude answered with a flirtatious tone.

"My fiancé's out on a business trip," Kitana said smoothly. "I need someone to make me feel... at home. Are you free?"

"For you? Always. Give me a few minutes, and I'll be there," Jude replied.

Kitana smiled slyly, biting her lower lip. "Can't wait to see you, Jude." She ended the call, hurried into the bedroom, adjusted the bedspread, and fluffed the pillows.

"I've got to be on fire today-slow and steady," she murmured to herself, hands on her hips. "Now, where did I leave those condoms?"

She rummaged through her handbag, pulling two out, just in case. A knock on the door made her jump. She stashed them back in her bag and walked over to open the door.

"That must be Jude. He's quick."

Sure enough, Jude stood there, grinning.

"Damn, baby-you look incredible," he said, pulling her into a tight hug.

"You got here fast. Did you book a flight?" Kitana teased, holding onto him.

"I told you, anytime you call, I'm there. Now let's not waste time," Jude said, hands roaming.

They headed upstairs to the bedroom. Jude started undressing while Kitana retrieved the condoms.

"Hope you're ready, because I came prepared," she said, handing one to him.

Jude smirked, tossing one to the floor and ripping open the other. Kitana slipped out of her gown and underwear, then climbed onto the bed, teasing him with a slow massage of her body.

"Here we go," Jude said, sheathing himself and joining her on the bed.

He parted her legs and entered her slowly. Kitana closed her eyes, biting her lip.

"Ride me slow till you wear out," she whispered. "I'll take over from there."

"I got you, babe," he replied, moving just as she asked.

"Mmm... harder, Jude... I love that," she moaned, her voice cracking in pleasure.

He quickened his pace, thrusting harder until he finally groaned and finished, pausing in exhaustion.

"You're quick today," Kitana said, still breathless. "Hope you're not done-I've still got one more condom."

She stood, naked, and went to the bathroom to dispose of the used one.

Jude lay on the bed, worn out. She returned with the second condom.

"Where'd you leave the last one?"

"On my clothes," he pointed weakly.

She found it, unwrapped it, and slid it onto him.

"Now relax. I'm going to teach you how a real ride feels."

Climbing on top, she guided him in and began to move, slow at first, then faster, keeping control with every motion.

"That feels amazing," Jude murmured.

"Just wait till I'm done," Kitana replied, riding him expertly.

Minutes passed. Finally, she gasped and leaned back, spent.

"I'm exhausted," she said, heading to the shower.

She emerged, wrapped in a towel, and saw Jude still sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Thanks for today. I'll send the money once I eat. See you next time."

"Sounds good, babe. I'll be on my way," Jude replied, getting dressed and heading out.

....

As he closed the door behind him, a young woman standing nearby greeted him quietly.

"Good afternoon," she said, eyeing him with silent curiosity. Without a word, she turned, opened the door, and stepped inside.

"Kitana, are you in?" she called out.

Angela walked toward the large, plush couch positioned in the center of the spacious living room. She sat down gracefully and made another call.

"Lady Kitana, are you there?"

She heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Turning instinctively, she looked in that direction.

"I knew it was your voice, Angela darling."

"Lady Kitana!" Angela exclaimed, rising to her feet as she saw her friend. She hurried over, and Kitana embraced her warmly.

"You look stunning, dear. How have you been?" Angela asked, smiling fondly at her friend.

"I'm doing quite well, sweetheart. And you? How's work going?" Kitana replied cheerfully.

"I'm fine, Lady Kitana. Everything at work is going smoothly. I almost forgot to ask-how's your fiancé?" Angela said, leaning in with interest.

Kitana giggled softly. "My fiancé? He's doing great. He's gone to work. Let me get you something to eat. Just relax and make yourself comfortable."

Angela nodded in agreement and returned to the couch, admiring the lavish furniture and elegant décor of the home.

"Kitana is incredibly fortunate to be engaged to a billionaire," Angela thought. "She lacks nothing-no stress, just luxury and comfort. Meanwhile, I'm always on the move, working tirelessly to make a living. I hope someday I'll be as lucky as she is and meet a wealthy man ready to marry me."

She continued to observe the magnificent mansion. "Well, everyone has their own destiny."

A moment later, Kitana descended the staircase with a beautifully decorated tray in her hands.

"I'm back, Angela. I prepared my fiancé's favorite meal-hope you'll enjoy it too," she said warmly.

Angela turned and smiled. "What's his favorite dish?"

"He absolutely loves fried rice with tender chicken. I sometimes wonder if that's why his father named him Fred," Kitana said with a playful smirk as she set the tray down.

"You're really funny, dear," Angela said, laughing as she uncovered the food, selected a spoon, and began eating. Kitana joined her on the couch.

"Do you prefer wine or juice?" Kitana asked as they ate together.

"I'd rather have juice than wine," Angela replied, continuing her meal.

"All right, give me a moment-I'll be right back." Kitana stood, placed her spoon on the tray, and walked to the fridge in the living room. She returned with a bottle of juice and two elegant glasses.

"Boss lady, you're truly living the dream with your billionaire fiancé. I bet there's another fridge in the kitchen," Angela said, half-teasing, half-intrigued.

"Yes, dear-and that's not all. Every bedroom in this house has its own mini-fridge, just in case we want a drink at any time. By the way, aren't you supposed to be at work today?" Kitana changed the subject.

"Hmmm... I have twenty-five apprentices working under me. They'll handle everything until I return," Angela responded while sipping the juice.

"Wow! That's impressive. You're a boss lady yourself now. The last time I came to get my hair done, I didn't see any assistants."

Angela chuckled. "You're right. But you haven't come to get your hair done in a while-you have so many wigs now!"

Kitana laughed as Angela lightly touched her hair.

"By the way, when I arrived, I saw a man leaving. He was muscular and dark-skinned. Who was he, and whom was he looking for?" Angela asked with a serious tone.

"Hmm... he... he came to see me. He's Jude, my gym coach," Kitana replied, scratching her head.

"I see. Did he come to train you at home?" Angela asked, a bit curious.

"N-no, he was just passing by and decided to stop in and say hello," Kitana answered, clearly flustered, continuing to fidget nervously.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that. But I would advise you to maintain healthy boundaries and be cautious," Angela advised, pulling out her phone to check it.

"My fiancé is back!" Kitana exclaimed as she saw a sleek black Toyota pull into the garage.

"It's only half past twelve. He's early today. I hope everything's all right," Angela said, adjusting the hem of her gown and fixing her posture.

"Well, he comes home whenever he pleases-he is the CEO, after all. Let me return these dishes to the kitchen." Kitana picked up the tray and headed toward the kitchen.

Suddenly, the front door opened and closed.

"Good afternoon, sir," Angela said, rising and smiling at the man who had just entered.

Fred looked up, noticing Angela. She had captivating eyes and a graceful, curvy figure, accentuated by her fitted gown.

"What a beautiful lady," he thought, momentarily stunned.

"Good afternoon, dear. How are you?" he finally said, walking toward her with a warm expression, his gaze still meeting hers.

"I'm doing well, sir. Welcome back," Angela replied, standing politely with her hands clasped.

"Sweetheart, you're home early today. Welcome back," Kitana said, descending the stairs.

"Thank you, my love. Did you treat your guest well?" Fred asked, glancing from Kitana back to Angela.

"Yes, darling. This is Angela, my best friend since our school days," Kitana responded, embracing Fred. He kissed her on the forehead affectionately.

Angela diverted her attention, sat down, and focused on her phone.

"Angela, it's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to our home," Fred said before heading upstairs. Kitana followed behind.

Angela smiled quietly. "What a handsome and well-mannered man. Kitana is incredibly lucky. If I were in her shoes, I would cherish and protect him from anyone who might try to take him. But... I can't let my feelings get in the way-he's my best friend's fiancé."

....

Upstairs

"My love, please get dinner ready. I'll eat after taking a shower," Fred said as he removed his suit jacket and loosened his tie.

"Of course, dear," Kitana replied and left the room.

Fred sat on the edge of the bed, holding his tie and shirt. He sighed deeply.

"What is happening to me? Why am I so drawn to her? She's incredibly beautiful and carries herself so gracefully. My eyes couldn't stop tracing her figure. But I must remember-I'm about to propose to Kitana in a few days."

He stood up, removed his trousers, hung them neatly, and walked toward the wardrobe...
