Evil Contract Wife

The sun peeked over the horizon, painting the Johannesburg sky with orange and pink. Naomi's day began with the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee as she stood by her kitchen window, a sense of routine and tranquility settling around her.

Stepping onto the bustling streets, Naomi joined the rhythm of the city. As people hurried past, consumed by their ambitions and aspirations, her thoughts remained focused on the day ahead. But destiny had other plans.

In the midst of the crowd, a familiar voice reached her ears, a voice that carried memories she had buried deep within. Naomi's heart quickened its pace as she turned towards the sound, her gaze locking onto a figure by the corner. It was Henry – her ex-boyfriend, a man who once held a piece of her heart.

Henry's smile was a mixture of surprise and recognition as their eyes met across the bustling street. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as their gazes held, a silent conversation passing between them.

"Naomi," Henry said softly, the single word carrying a mixture of emotions – the nostalgia of shared moments and the weight of their past.

"Hi, Henry," Naomi replied, her voice tinged with a mixture of warmth and caution.

As they exchanged pleasantries, the air became charged with the unspoken words that lingered beneath the surface. The coffee shop nearby seemed like a haven, a place to shelter the fragility of their interaction from the chaos of the world.

Sitting across from each other in a cozy booth, Naomi's heart danced between the memories of their time together and the realities of their present separation. They spoke of inconsequential matters, the conversation a delicate dance around the emotions that threatened to spill over.

But beneath the surface, their connection remained as strong as eve, just as they had always been 2 years ago before the break up. The way their laughter intertwined, the familiarity of shared jokes – it was a reminder of what they had once been. Yet Naomi couldn't forget the pain that had driven them apart.

"Remember that little café we used to go to, where I met your beautiful soul for the very first time?" Henry's voice held a hint of wistfulness, a reminder of their shared past. Naomi's heart skipped a beat at his words, the rush of memories flooding her mind like an old photograph album being opened after years of being tucked away.

The café he was referring to had been their sanctuary, a haven of warmth and comfort amidst the chaos of their lives. It was where they had spent countless hours, lost in conversation, laughter, and the gentle clinking of cups. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and the soft melodies that played in the background seemed to echo in Naomi's mind.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she gazed at Henry. His eyes held a glint of nostalgia, mirroring the emotions she felt bubbling within her. They had shared dreams and secrets in that little café, creating a bond that had felt unbreakable at the time.

"Yeah," Naomi replied, her voice carrying a mixture of fondness and longing. "I remember that café."

Their gazes locked, and for a moment, the noise of the bustling city faded into the background. It was as if they were transported back in time, reliving those stolen moments of connection. The memories felt so vivid, it was as though the café itself had come to life around them.

"Do you remember the time we stayed there until closing?" Henry's words held a touch of playfulness, a shared joke that only they understood.

Naomi chuckled, the sound a gentle melody that danced in the air. "How could I forget? We practically had to be ushered out by the staff."

The laughter that followed was a symphony of familiarity, a reminder of the lovely and adventurous moments they had once shared. In that moment, the weight of their past disagreements, the pain of their breakup, it all seemed to fade into the background.

"Those were good times you know," Henry said softly, his gaze holding a mixture of nostalgia and regret.

Naomi nodded, her heart aching with a bittersweet blend of emotions. "Yes, they were."
