Chapter 9
The plane sliced through the clouds, heading overseas.
In a city this massive, nobody notices when an ordinary family disappears.
Meanwhile, Alexander lounged with Savannah on the couch, watching some movie with his arm around her.
Out of nowhere, a weird panic hit him.
A hollow feeling. Like something crucial had just slipped through his fingers forever.
Savannah caught him zoning out. “Hey. What’s up?”
“Nothing. Just getting in my head.” Alexander shook it off and pulled her closer, faking a smile.
“Seriously? Daydreaming while you’re with me? You need to be punished!”
She playfully attacked him with tickles until she wore herself out.
“No fair! Why aren’t you ticklish?”
Alexander smirked. “If tickling doesn’t work, we’ll have to get a little… spicier, huh.”
He picked her up and tossed her onto the bed.
They rolled around, laughing and wrestling.
Somewhere along the way, the playfulness shifted. They moved closer until they were kissing.
The bedroom got steamy fast.
For three days straight, they barely left each other’s side.
Alexander went from hooked to bored fast.
Savannah pulled out every flirty trick, but nothing kept him hooked.
It wasn’t her moves he was tired of. It was her.
One person 24/7 got old quick.
More importantly, Aria hadn’t reached out at all.
She was doing exactly what he’d demanded–leaving him alone when he wasn’t with her.
This is exactly what he wanted, so why the hell was it getting to him?
Alexander kept checking his phone. Their conversations had gone from endless to practically nothing.
Their last call was days ago, during that auction mess.
He frowned, irritation building from nowhere.
He told her not to bother him, and she actually listened?
Did she forget she was his wife?
Alexander kept opening Aria’s contact, hoping for a message, but nothing.
He hesitated, finger hovering over the call button.
Before he could decide, Savannah covered his eyes from behind. “Ooh, guess what cute little surprise I’ve got for you!~”

Adios My Playboy Hubby, I’m DONE Being Your Submissive Wife!
Chapter 9
She tried to play coy, but with that skimpy nightgown rubbing against his neck, it was obvious – she was trying to seduce him.
Startled, Alexander accidentally tapped the screen, calling Aria.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service…”
The robotic voice froze them both.
“Later!”
Alexander pushed Savannah off him and immediately called again, disbelieving.
Same automated message.
“What the hell?” His mind blanked, unable to process what was happening.
Savannah glanced at the screen and put on her concerned face. “Babe, she’s probably just busy. Or maybe she’s mad at you and jealous of me. Trying to freak you out so you’ll go running home to her.”
“She’s still your wife. Where’s she gonna go? Probably sitting at home right now, waiting for your apologize.”
