I was up and ready by five in the morning, after suffering intense insomnia the previous night.

I had gotten quite a lot of work done in the time that I was restless, and I had felt a little jealous of Claire for having slept like a peaceful baby.

I couldn't get Illithyia off my mind.

I had the deep urge to do a little extensive research on her, maybe get her phone number or address. I didn't want to behave like a psychopath, but I knew she had more to her.

Far deeper than the eye could decipher.

My curiosity levels were worrying; it didn't help that I had so much monetary power and social influence that I could easily get what I wanted.

After pulling my jacket on, I texted Lorenzo about the upcoming meeting, laughing when he sent me a picture of his black Maserati for the day.

I responded, and just when I slipped my phone into my pocket, Claire woke up. She stretched with a broad smile, her eyes fluttering as she focused on me.

"Good morning honey," she beamed, probably feeling overly excited for her weekly shopping spree. I'd never known any woman as materialistic as my wife. All the stores probably knew her by now.

"Morning. I'm off to work early," I adjusted my tie.

"You look unusually hot this morning," she winked, trailing her eyes down to my crotch area.

"Or maybe you're in an awfully good mood," I suggested, causing her to laugh.

"Hmm, could be."

"I met with Lia's therapist, she's brilliant." I commented, and Claire broke into an 'I told you so' smile.

"She really is. Lia and I had a wholesome conversation for the first time in ages last night. Her services are worth it." Claire gushed, so unaware of how her husband was potentially getting entangled in lust for the same woman.
