Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

"Andrew—" She looked at him. "I am sorry, I didn't know." When she stepped out of the room, she overheard the conversation between Semion and Andrew.

She understood what Semion was referring to.

"It's not your fault." Andrew kissed the top of her head. "Don't listen to others—" He pulled away and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Rach, look at me."

When she looked at him with her tear stained face, his heart clenched.

Suppressing his urge to drag Semion back and skin him alive, he took a deep breath. He would definitely deal with the old man later but right now, he had to focus on his wife. He had to make her feel better.

"You don't listen to others, Rachael, you only listen to me. Did you understand?" He cupped her face. "Don't overthink this, okay?"

Andrew didn't want her to blame herself in any way. It wasn't her fault to begin with. It was wrong for Semion to push all the blame on her when nothing severe had happened.

Unknowingly, Rachael had helped Riftan's sister, Janet, their enemy. But it wasn't her fault.

She had no idea who Janet was and even if she knew, he was sure Rachael wouldn't have hesitated to help her.

"You are in trouble because of me."

Semion's words kept ringing in her ears, making her feel miserable and guilty. When she helped Janet, she didn't think it would be such a big deal. She was just trying to be nice.

"Who said anyone is in trouble?" Andrew wiped her tears away. "I am not in trouble neither is Daniel, Owen or Justin."

"Exactly, you did nothing wrong," Owen added.

"You helped a poor woman in need, how can that be wrong?" Daniel approached them. He gently caressed Rachael's head to soothe her. "Don't listen to Semion, the man has lost his mind after staying at home doing absolutely nothing."

He then looked at Andrew. "Take her to the room, we will talk tomorrow morning." .

Andrew nodded and walked away with his arms wrapped around his wife.

After they left, Justin sighed, "Well, I don't like saying it but Semion isn't completely wrong."

"I know but we can't blame Rachael." Owen frowned.

"Who said about blaming Rachael?" Justin shook his head. "Whatever is happening is because of us. We have neglected our duties way too much. I mean, I know we have our reasons for settling down in a different country, but this has impacted our business here. People have started taking us lightly."

Daniel couldn't help but agree. "That is true." He sat down on the couch. "I have also become a little soft hearted after getting married."

"And so has Andrew," Owen added. "But it isn't your fault or his. You both have a family of your own now."

He looked at Justin. "You have Edward and now Elsa too. It's only right that you focus on them."

"And you have your little housekeeper," Daniel chuckled. "What was her name again?"

When Owen scoffed, he grinned, "Oh come on now, we all know you have a thing for her."

"Yeah, it's quite evident," Justin added.

"Alright, I am going to bed." Owen left before the conversation could escalate.

[Owen Room]

As soon as he slumped on the bed, he grabbed his phone and opened the live security camera to his apartment.

The corner of his lips curled upward when he saw Juliana lying on the couch with a bowl of popcorn on her tummy.

She was finally making herself at home.

When he had to abruptly leave the country, he told Juliana to stay at his place while he was gone so she could 'TAKE CARE' of it in his absence.

Not that his place needed someone to be taken care of, he just didn't want her to go back to the shabby, unsettling area she lived in. He wanted her to be safe in his absence.

At first, she was very reluctant. But when Owen reminded her his about her 'HOUSEKEEPER" duties, she agreed.

Now Owen had been watching her through the security cameras he had installed inside his apartment for safety purposes.

He knew what he was doing wasn't very ideal or something a gentleman would do. Staring at a woman continuously for hours through the tiny screen was kind of creepy but he couldn't help it.

Owen was liking it. He liked watching Juliana walk around his house like she owned it.

The other day, he watched her dance to a full song. She swayed her hips with the beat of the music. That was the hottest dance he had ever seen. It definitely turned him super on.

After looking at her for a few more minutes, he was about to close the app when he saw something.

His eyes darkened when Juliana slipped her hands inside her shorts and threw her head back.

She grabbed one of her breasts with her other hand and started massaging it.

"Fuck—" Owen cursed and sat up straight. She was touching herself and he shouldn't be watching it but there was no way he could turn it off even though that was the right thing to do.

He tightened his grip around his phone and pursed his lips when Juliana took off her shots followed by her underwear and tossed it on the floor.

Without tearing his eyes off the screen, he watched her relief herself. Her back arched when she reached her peak and collapsed back after a few seconds.

"Damn—" He cursed under his breath and tossed his phone aside.

Juliana's flushed face, her slightly parted pink lips and her smooth skin enveloped his mind.

Only if he was there, he wouldn't have let her take the trouble of relieving herself.

They had slept together once and that clearly wasn't enough.

Owen didn't prefer sleeping with the same woman more than twice but Juliana was clearly different.

He wanted her. His body craved for her. He had never felt such strong things for someone else.

Glancing at the huge bulge in between his legs, he sighed and got up.

He needed to shower and take care of himself.
