Smith’s POVAfter Anna had stepped out of my office, I began to think. She had chosen Charlotte over me and this was bad enough. I was not happy at all but I knew I had to try my best not to show it. If I loved her like I supposed, I should sacrifice my personal satisfaction for her happiness. She might be unhappy even if she went with me. It was better she went clubbing even though I disliked it. I wanted her to be with me and no other person.But I had made a crucial choice and that was to let her be. Like she said, we could postpone it to another weekend for sure even though I wanted it now. There was nothing I could do since it was fixed now.------------We closed from work and everyone proceeded to go home. Anna had told me what she wanted to do so I just drove home. I made sure to tell William not to reveal himself for now. Since he would be following Andy to protect Anna, he had to be careful not to be caught. Charlotte was very smart and it would take her nothing to connect t
Anna’s POVI had a hard time selecting a restaurant to take Charlotte to. For the first time, I was going to spend my money. I have been dependent on Smith since and I didn’t even use up the pocket money he gives me. I had been saving up to buy him something as well. My plan was to wait for my monthly salary and then surprise him. Anyways, I finally chose Splezi restaurant and I drove there. Charlotte was not a foodie and she ordered sparsely. I was the same as well. She talked so much with her mouth but enough food went in there.“So, let me tell you about my boss and Elena…” Charlotte said slowly. “It is better I say it now before we both go to the club and get drunk and high.”“You are getting ‘high’ alone, girl. I will be driving and I don’t plan on getting a bit drunk. Just tell me the story…” I replied. Charlotte smiled at me and started.“After that fainting incident, they seemed to have bonded. Boss didn’t come back to work on that day. It seemed she waited for her to get bett
Anna’s POVI was busted.I never imagined something like this would happen to me. If Dan truly told Smith that he brought me to a restaurant, he would be here in no time. Smith was a jealous man and he wouldn’t be able to take it at all.I thought about what to do now. Charlotte had found out I had a husband which was enough of a crisis. It would not be funny if she finds out that it is Smith whom she knew as her boss. She was talkative and it would mean that every other person would know about the secret.I knew Andy would be in a car there. I had to call Smith and explain things to him. If he revealed himself, it would make things wild. I tried to go out but Dan held me back.In that split second, the restaurant’s main door opened and Smith came inside. His aura was everything. I bit my lip now since the whole secret has been exposed. He walked up to me and separated my hand from Dan’s own.“I told you that I was…” Dan was saying but Smith didn’t let him complete the statement. He p
Anna’s POVI was surprised to hear this. This meant that Charlotte was not what I thought she was. She had more wisdom than I expected from her. Keeping such detail from me was impressive.“But she doesn’t know about us, does she?” I asked carefully.“She doesn’t,” Smith replied. “I know you must have agreed to eat and go clubbing with her just to hear the past relationship I had with Elena. You could have just asked me and I would have told you. It is not that deep.”“Really?” I asked him carefully.“Sure, I don’t need to keep a secret from you since it is in my past. Didn’t you tell me about your past relationship with Dan? That was a wilder ride in all senses,” Smith told me sharply.“Then tell me about it!” I told him in anticipation. Sally was here already and she got into the back seat. She muttered nothing and Smith carried on like he didn’t see her. He was now driving and telling me this.“It was after Elena collapsed that I realised I liked this girl. I was really conservativ
Anna’s POV“Yes, it is something I have confirmed…” Charlotte replied innocently. She didn’t realise the implication of what she had just said.“Stop saying rubbish!” Smith shouted at Charlotte. I would count this as suspicious as well. I could see Charlotte thinking hard.“A straight man and a gay man have the same physical features. The best way to find a man who is straight is to see his performance in bed. How did you confirm that Smith is not gay?” I asked her carefully. I didn’t know why I was taking up the role of an investigative officer here.“I never confirmed…” Charlotte replied. “I swear it was a slip of the tongue. I have seen my boss's erection once in a while too but that is all. Also, I don’t mean his bare erection. I meant the bulge in his trousers.”“Oh!” I exclaimed.“Exactly,” she replied. “I am not capable of doing things like that. Since you know the boss's relationship with Elena, I am free.”I took a deep breath.“You aren’t going to ask us about our relationsh
Anna’s POVI was very scared to see this happen right in front of my eyes. It was more scary since we had no protection. The car was just a normal one. Bullets would penetrate the glasses for sure.But I was composed. Smith locked the doors and we were shut inside. I started to use my phone. My hand was shaking but I had to call Andy. He needed to know our location to rescue us.The men surrounded us and I could see them loading up their guns. Their leader was in the front pointing at our window.“I might end up killing both of you like this!” he shouted. “How about you just come out now? I have no other motive. All I want to do is to keep you guys around. I can see a girl there too. She can serve as a toy for me while I wait for the ransom!”“What makes you think like that?!” Smith shouted back at me. “You brought only eight men including yourself. I think it is too small to capture me. You know who I am. Back off while you can.”I could see Smith sending a text message to someone. I
Anna’s POVI took the sedatives but I couldn’t sleep. Smith got back late at night and it was when he held me in his arms that I had a bit of comfort. I cried due to the fear of death. In that moment with bullets flying around and Smith defending us, I wondered what would have happened if his plan backfired. What if the man was faster and he shot Smith first. That means both of us would be dead. Andy and William would have arrived to pick up our bodies.Shrills and goosebumps.I used to think I was invisible but I had always been wrong. I was just a normal human being who was afraid of death. Living was a big privilege for me. I still had a lot of dreams that were unfulfilled. It would be unfair for me to die like that.Smith laid me to sleep but I woke up thirty minutes later. By that time, he was sleeping already. I wanted to see his face but I knew he would wake up if I turned the lights on. I stayed like that and watched him sleep. Every sound I heard frightened me. I could not ge
Gareth Anna's POVI sauntered into the room only to see the unexpected. I could hear my heart beating louder than ever.They were on the bed and they were naked. This was simply unbelievable. I was overwhelmed by this revelation.I could see my boyfriend, Dan, together with my step sister, Emily, having sex. Emily was actually riding him while he grabbed her waist.“What!” I finally screamed. It turned out that I had forgotten to scream before. I had been too overwhelmed to make a sound.Dan and Emily finally knew I was in the room and they seemed to be quite shocked. I was hurt and my heart was in need of repairs. As I glanced at Dan, I felt like demanding an explanation.But they didn't stop.“Look here, babe,” Dan told Emily right in my presence. Dan began to kiss Emily and the latter responded. They were kissing passionately and this was just like stabbing my heart.I couldn't take this scene anymore. I knew the relationship was over since Dan had acknowledged Emily in my presence
