Excerpt from the story He towered over her as she laid on a hospital bed, head wrapped up in gauze, struggling to keep her eyes open. "You ran me over, didn't you?" She exhaled shakily, her bright eyes pinned on him, tears threatening to fall. The man who was roughly 6'5 inches, had an ominous cheekbone which drew back into a taunting smile, his eyes gleamed with hatred as he said, "As your husband, it's your duty to be submissive to me.

To torture Taylor Fairchild in every way possible. What's his reason for such cruelty? His deep seated hatred for Taylor's father, an event Taylor knew nothing of.

In this steamy and suspenseful romance novel, you'll be left on the edge of your seat, wondering what fate has in store for Taylor Fairchild and Andrew Radford.
View MoreWith the now free time she had, Taylor spent every waking moment thinking about how to get to the top floor or better still, Andrew’s room. That morning, she was having breakfast with Andrew as usual when he got a call and left to answer it. She absentmindedly stabbed down at her steak as she weighed the pros and cons of how to get in to either of them. The President's office was on the last floor. His office occupied the whole floor and only a few cleaners were allowed there to clean. The only person who went up to it frequently was Kaleb Clover and because he was his assistant. Andrew had made it clear to her that she wouldn't be given any special treatment just because she was his wife so she knew Kaleb wouldn’t take her up to him if she requested to see him at work. And as a junior consultant, she had no business with even a department director talk more of the company's President. But on the other hand, it could be in his room. Andrew only let Becky clean his room. No othe
One of them pulled out his phone and went to a corner to make a phone call. He returned less than thirty seconds later to lead her inside the club. The day was still bright for there to be any party, so she wasn’t surprised to see the place quite empty. Asides from the two bartenders at the counter, some heavily tattooed boys and girls lying on the couch unconscious and the rest patrolling the place with lit cigarettes in-between their lips. Sergei Petrovich had a scantily dressed girl on his thighs when Elizabeth was led into the private room he was in. Despite her coming in, he continued his business with the girl. Elizabeth took her seat and watched them in silence with a straight face until the man zipped up his zipper and nudged his head at the girl to leave. He then got up to pour himself a drink. As he walked towards the counter, she couldnd help noticing he winced with every step he took. He picked up bottle of whiskey and two glasses before walking back to her. “Siste
Everyone silently watched as the surveillance cameras were mounted and the people from the Technology Department all left.After they left, the people from Consultant Department just stood at a distance glaring heatedly at Taylor. Now that there were two surveillance cameras, they didn’t dare to act bold anymore. However, Anna Coleman scoffed. “He helped you with the printer and he even brought you lunch because he didn’t see you in the cafeteria. Are you bragging right now?” “Does it make you feel better that someone like him noticed that someone like you exists?” When Taylor didn’t respond, she grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her fervently as she yelled into her face, “Don’t keep silent! Answer me!” Ella subconsciously glanced towards the direction of the cameras and whispered to Anna through clenched teeth. “Anna, don’t do anything here. The surveillance cameras were just mounted, I’m sure the higher ups have their eyes on it at the moment.” Anna listened to her and sto
Taylor left for the restroom as soon as Samuel left. While she was inside the stall, she heard some staffs discussing outside. “Research and Development Department are trying to come up with this new software, but each attempt has all failed. We even got to find out we’re not the only ones attempting to build this software.” “Apparently, other companies have tried to but failed for some reasons, now I have to go through the feedback the users gave which led to it failing to know what to do.” “The reports are just so much that I don’t think I can keep up since I have to plan my son’s birthday which is coming up this weekend.” “You still go through feedbacks by yourself?” “Isn’t that what everyone does?” “You poor thing. Haven’t you heard of the junior consultant in the Consultant Department? She came a month ago and everyone’s been going to her to go through reports, statements, accounting and even the company’s finances.” “She’s very good at it and even offers good feedbacks. S
In tbe third floor’s hallway, Taylor’s eyes darted around the place in confusion after hearing him. Poor? Who grew up poor? “Hey, what are you doing standing there? Ella said to tell you she doesn’t have the whole day!” The shrill voice of someone in her department drew her out of her reverie. The man had long left, but she was still standing in the hallway staring blankly at where he previously stood.She hurried back to her department and to her desk where she gave the photocopies to Ella Holland.When she arrived, Ella raised her eyes to look at her and half shouted, “What took you so long? I clearly told you I didn’t have the whole day!” Something snapped in Taylor at being shouted on, but she just clenched her jaw tightly and continued stretching the photocopies towards Ella. Biting down the harsh retort trying to make it way out of her mouth, she met Ella’s eyes and smiled at her faintly, “My apologies, I had problems with the printer, so someone came to help me.” Ella sno
Taylor attended the interview as scheduled and got through it. She was called by the interviewer the very next day and told she passed the interview and got the job. When she arrived at the company on monday the following week, she was handed her company ID card and led to her desk. She was a junior consultant. The lowest position in the department. Basically, she was below everyone which meant she’d be at the beck and call of everyone. When she got to her desk, there were already piles of paperworks waiting for her to tend to them on her table. Taylor had just taken her seat when another person waltzed to her desk and dumped a big pile of reports on it. “Newbie, I need you to go through these reports on your table. Particularly the feedbacks from the companies whom we offer security services to in three hours.” Then she turned around and left without another word. Taylor reached out to feel the bulky pile of reports and couldn’t help batting her eyes in disbelief. “I’m to go
Andrew was standing at the door and because of how tall he was, the sunlight penetrating in from the window by his side, shone brightly on the lower part of his face, making it impossible for anyone to look into it. However, when he stepped out of the sunlight, they quickly realized they couldn’t see his face not because of the sunlight shining on it, but because he had on a mask which stopped just above his nose. Bezalel Meyer snapped out of his shocked state and hurried towards Andrew, “Mr. Radford, I didn’t know you were coming. You should’ve called in advance to tell me you were coming so I’d prepare a befitting welcome for you.” “Mr. Radford? Who is that?” Emily Carter blurted out thoughtlessly as she craned her neck to see the person’s face only to realize he was putting on a mask. Andrew clasped his hands behind his back and glanced at Bezalel with a blank look on his face. “I didn’t think there was any need to since my wife works out here. I was in the area and I thought
“Here! Here she is!” Geraldine immediately jumped forward and pointed at Taylor.The chubby woman turned towards their direction. When her eyes met Taylor's, she immediately immediately began rushing towards her. However, as she got to where she was standing and raised her hand to slap her across the face, somebody suddenly appeared in front of her and shielded her from the slap, receiving it on his back instead. Seeing the back of a man, the three women in front of Taylor gasped and looked around in disbelief. “What is this? So Bezalel Meyer isn’t the only one you’re after? Who else did you get to fall for your charms!” Sophia lashed out at her as soon as she regained her composure. Emily turned to the man who still had his back to them and advised him in a self-righteous tone, “Hey, if you know what’s good for you, get away from this woman as fast as possible or risk ruining your reputation.”Gael, who had stood in front of Taylor and shielded her from the chubby woman, turned a
That night, Andrew didn’t come back to the house. And he still wasn’t home the next morning.So Taylor sat in the dining room having breakfast alone. But a few minutes after she started, she heard the door open and after a few seconds of hearing his footsteps, the man’s suffocating presence filled the dining room as he strutted in and sat down. Then began eating.After what seemed like forever, she dropped her cutlery and looked up at him.She was about to say something when she noticed the bloodstains on his collar. Her first instinct was to ignore it whilst praying it was him, but when she recalled what she had learned in meditation classes and what she read in the textbooks.While Andrew and everyone else thought she had finally become submissive to him, she simply just came to terms with the fact that going head-on against him won’t do her any good.He was stronger than her, richer, and more influential. Furthermore, she didn’t have anyone to stand up to him if word got out about
