30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

“Yeah.”

Estrella playfully teased, “So are you’re smitten yet? Ready to start a family with me?” Scooping her up in a sideways embrace, Jason headed toward the bathroom, “Let’s do it.” With a content smile, Estrella murmured, “Thanks, boss.”

Despite her feisty words, as soon as Jason placed her in the bathtub, she was out like a light, fast asleep. Jason had been on the verge of giving in, contemplating sleeping with her after all. His face turned stormy with the realization that he’d been played.

Without looking up, she reached for the phone, but paused when she saw Jason’s name on the display. Two years into their marriage, and this was the first time he had ever called her first.

On the other end, Jason’s voice was cool, “Yeah.”

“You’re at home, I assume.” she continued, “Go take a shower. I’ll be home by the time you’re done.”
