Gracia walked past the drawing room on her way to her room and was called back by Bridget who was seated watching a documentary. "Come my dear, come sit with me." Bridget invited her in.Gracia walked over and sat down. "I'm so sorry about this breakfast." She apologized, even before Bridget could say a word. If she was going to try her luck at getting Simon, then it was best to get back in the good books of every member of the house. Their impression about her mattered a whole lot in this case."It's okay." Bridget said. "I bear no grudges. But, if you like someone, why don't let the person know. That way, you'll get to find out if they are free or not and if they feel the same way about you." Bridget told her giving her a pat on the back. "A lady always needs to be classy. Even when her feelings are involved. Always keep that in mind." She added."Thank you for being nice ma'am. I expected you to snap at me like the others." Gracia confessed. "Although in my defense, I didn't know t
The whole scene that just played out took her back to that shit hole she was in, a few years ago after everything she went through with Franklin. If only there was a way to get this man and keep him all to herself, she would have done that. But there was nothing she could do, his heart was with someone else and as terrible as that sounded, she had to accept that reality.She walked down to the room she was sharing with her mother and met the older woman in a not so good mood."It's a good thing you came." Martha said to her daughter.Gracia sighed and sank into her bed. "Mum, I know I messed up this morning and if it's any consolation, I'm so sorry. I don't even know what came over me. I... I was carried away by the fact that I want Simon and he's not seeing me at all. But I've apologized to most of the people I've wronged this morning." She said, rubbing her face with her palms."I really don't want you to give me a long epistle of how I messed up. I've owned up to it, if you say som
But Paige couldn't bear it any more and when she was saturated and completely overwhelmed, she let out a scream. Simon placed his hands on her hips, he impaled her with a deep hard stroke and she came with a cry, arching and writhing, as he thrust wildly into her. In the midst of her orgasm he came into her, ejaculating deep into her. She felt it pouring out of her even as his hips kept pumping, dragging her climax and his out as long as he could. It felt endless. The contractions were so sharp they almost hurt. She felt one muscle in particular, a tight little muscle near her cervix, fluttering wildly as Simon filled her with his thick semen.Simon placed his hands on either side of her body and dropped his head while her vagina gave its little final gasps. The both of them burst into low laughter."That was so crazy." She said, hugging his head to her chest."How crazy?" He asked, smiling."Beautiful crazy. Will it sound weird if I said I want more?" "Gosh, I love you." He replied,
Just as she had always wished for, June Kentley had her dream wedding. She got married to her dream man right in the heart of Yardstin.A garden setting for their exchange of vows. At the entrance of the three hotels that their guests were lodged in; the Yorkshire, Charoll and Salton hotels, stood more than a hundred security personnel guarding and ensuring the safety of their guests.On one side of the garden, several elevated seats were already prepared for June's fans from Social Media and her popular Television show that was focused on the challenges of a young lawyer.Just outside the Yorkshire Hotel, the site for June and Alfred's big wedding, stood prominent journalists and media stations covering the event from all angles.At the center of the garden, a made-up and well decorated tent became the center of every media's attention. The tall, draping curtains from the steel frames suddenly opened, revealing a calm and handsome Alfred with his best man. Slowly, they stepped out in
The sound of cheers, hype and claps filled the air, with the chant of "kiss the bride." emerging from the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Other wedding guests soon joined the chant."Kiss the bride! Kiss the bride! Kiss...."June looked at her family and noted that they've all joined in the chant aside her brother who was smiling and clapping, obviously in support. Her in-laws were no better as well and she laughed her heart out, she felt her veil uncovered by Alfred with the help of her maid of honor. "Oh my god! I am so lucky to be spending the rest of my life with such a gorgeous woman." Alfred said excitedly.June blushed at her husband's compliment and in the next few seconds, Alfred managed to wrap her in his arm. He swung her to the side and captured her lips in a heartbeat!"Yessss!""Oh, my god!""This is so beautiful!""Ahhhhh!"Screams of envy and excited cheers easily roared against the garden.Alfred's parents were called to make a speech, June's parents were also called and S
"I saw you with him all day and I couldn't help but admire how good you look together." Melissa continued. "Thank you." Paige replied sweetly and proceeded with washing her hand."You know when i was with him, he once told me that he has a spec and they usually are strong ladies. He always goes for sophisticated ladies. I wasn't convinced when I saw you with him, but seeing how he treats you out there like you're going to melt if he doesn't hold you tight, I guess he's changed and so has his choices." Melissa said.A moment of silence followed and Paige spoke up. "So, I take it that you are an ex?" She asked calmly, pushing her wet fingers under the hand dryer."Mhmm, more like three months out of his year.""What!" Paige exclaimed, trying to understand what Melissa was driving at. She brought her hand down from the dryer. Her face wore enough evidence of shock and anger and there was really nothing much to do about it."Oh dear!" Melissa exclaimed. "You... you didn't know. My god! I'
The morning before the wedding, Paige's lavender hair oil had spilled while she was trying to apply a dash of it on her curls. Some people might have seen it as a bad omen. She, however, just saw it as a minor inconvenience to be wiped off with a piece of sheet, since she was already running late for June's wedding. With everyone probably waiting for her at the garage, she fixed her jewelry quickly.Maybe if she had paid attention to the spilled oil, she would have stayed back? Of course not! That was not even possible.But just maybe she would have been more cautious of her activity all through the day. Yet, who was to say that the exact same fate still wouldn't have found her inside the mansion or any other day she stepped outside. She probably never would have given the oil a second thought if the day had gone like it was supposed to. A peaceful ride to the Yokeshire hotel, a lovely outdoor wedding and a crazy after-party and then back home with Simon, the man she was gradually fa
A low, pathetic cry escaped Paige's lips as these crazy thoughts and memories kept messing with her head. She attempted screaming but the sounds were muffled by the duct tape. Seeing that there was nothing she could do, frustrated tears burned her eyes. There was just one of her and two of them. There was no way out of this for her. Except, maybe when the van stops. Maybe I could possibly make a run for it. She thought. Dance had at least given her some stamina and she somehow doubted her kidnappers were the type that would spend endless hours at the gym. If she were to run, she wouldn't have to run far. Just far enough to get close to people, to get to a store, or anywhere that someone might help her. No one was going to stand by and let a bound and gagged woman get dragged off by kidnappers. People were better than that.But the only problem now would be time. It was past midnight when she came downstairs from the Salton hotel and she didn't know how long the journey with her kid
A gorgeous hostess led them upstairs to a quieter VIP bar that overlooked the stage and dance floor below. They were shown to a small seating area by the balcony and settled at a table hugged by two half-moon velvet sofas. The hostess propped a beverage menu in the center and said, "Your drinks are on the house. Enjoy your evening.""Wow!" Ugo whistled. "We scored.""I think that hawker recognized you from one of your court cases. Because how the hell are we getting such VIP treatment when we're yet to spend a dime." Daisy said out loud."Wouldn't that rock." Ugo grinned. "Or it could be the chef guy.... That dude is full of surprises. I've gotten too many gifts than I can't count since I met him. Yet, he's not interested in hitting this ass." "He could be pretending." Daisy fixed in. "Or taking it slow. The good old ways. He might be hoping to win you over thoroughly before making a move. In order words, he wants you to....""Loose my damn guard. Mmmm, not happening, not gonna happ
"Look what I brought you." Daisy said instead of arguing. She pulled the champagne bottle and the chocolates and crackers out of the paper bag. "I'm not quite sure how cold the champagne is anymore, but we still have to drink it. And I heroically saved all of them, including the chocolates and crackers from the guy I was stuck in the elevator with, so we’d better enjoy them.""Well, of course we still have to drink that champagne. Give me that." Ugo grabbed the hotel water glasses as Daisy pulled the foil off the champagne bottle. "I can’t believe you were stuck in the elevator all that time. And why weren’t you texting me back. Was your battery out?" "Okay, there’s a story there, but let’s toast to you first before I get into all of that." Daisy twisted the metal lid open and pulled out the cork with a gentle pop. After she poured a healthy amount into each of their glasses, she held hers up. "To Ugo Chike, the first black female partner at Jade and Judy, in over ten years. To a br
"I've been doing fine for years now. Please just go back to wherever you're coming from and let me be."Brett moved over to her and crotched down opposite her. "Go on a date with me, over the weekend."Daisy burst into laughter. "Is this guy a joke or something." She asked rhetorically, loud enough to Brett's hearing. "No.""Come on.....""I'm not going on any godforsaken date with you Mr Lexington. Not in your wildest dream.""Okay." he said pushing two open hands forward to calm her down. "Go to a fundraiser with me then. Technically, I wanted you to be my plus-one at the fundraiser organized by the Mayor over the weekend and maybe we could go on a date afterwards. But since you said no date, let's go to the fundraiser together." He offered."No.""Daiz. I promise you, if after the fundraiser, you decide that you don't want to be see me ever again. I won't bother you. Just this once, please?"Daisy became calm for a moment. She looked up at his angelic face and watched him flash a s
CHAPTER 1"What time do you even plan on getting here. Are you sure you're still coming?" Daisy listened to Ugo whine over the phone."I'm all dressed up already. You'll see me soon, I promise. I just had a really stressful day at work and I had to make a quick stop at home to get into a more comfortable footwear." she tried explaining. Pushing the door of her walk-in closet close, she pulled a black leather jacket across her black singlet, sat on the bed and bent low to buckle her sandals when she heard Ugo's next words."You're changing footwear? Don't tell me you plan on wearing any of those boring flat sandals of yours.""Something wrong my flats?" "Really, you're going to ask me that." Ugo boiled."We're going out to celebrate for crying out loud. You have to look the part. Put on a pair of those gorgeous Louboutins you got there. Why do you splash so much money on exotic footwear when you don't wear them.""Hello, are you forgetting something? You're forgetting that you make me

Paige was more shaken than she cared to admit. Somehow she did not expect Stefan to openly confess his infidelity. She had thought perhaps he would attempt to deny it."Why, Stefan?"He reached for her hands, but she pulled them out of his reach. "Why, Paige? Because you were always so unapproachable. There were times when you turned me on, made me so hot that I thought I was going to explode... and ......... and then you would just put up that damned 'don't touch me' shield. And when you did that I had to have someone else. Any woman.""You're a liar, Stefan. Why didn't you tell me that you wanted me?"He managed a winning smile. "I guess way back in my head I wanted to save you for marriage."Paige's smile was cynical and sinister. "It's too bad you didn't save Aurora, because I'm history, Stefan Riley."She stood up, holding her glass. Stefan never had time to react when she walked to his side and emptied the glass in his lap.She replaced the glass on the table, smiling. "That shou
The next morning, Paige woke up to an empty bed. Simon didn't come in throughout the night and she was just too stubborn to go to him. She sighed, had a quick shower and left to grab a quick coffee in the kitchen. Veronica was prepping their breakfast when she showed up and she took two biscuits from the freshly baked ones and cup of coffee."Have a nice day Mrs. Veronica." She called."You too ma. But won't you eat something better than just biscuits? I'm baking banana bread." She called after Paige."Yummy, keep some for me. I'll be back in a couple of hours." She replied from the living room. She scanned the house and saw no trace of Simon. Gulping down her coffee and biscuits she rushed to the kitchen to wash the cup but it was taken by Veronica. "I'll do that ma'am." She offered. "Thank you so much." She grabbed her phone and sent Simon a quick text telling him where she was headed before opening the door. Nicon appeared almost immediately, neatly dressed and ready to go wher
They floated together, each motion smooth and fluid as if the music had been choreographed just for them and them alone. Unspoken whispers and desires raced back and forth, telegraphing a savage hunger, a desperate need. Their bodies were in perfect harmony. Paige needed and Simon fed her.The desire to share her body with Simon Kentley surpassed all reason and common sense. But at that moment common sense was what Paige lacked most. She wanted to experience the waves of ecstasy he had given her earlier; she wanted the peace Simon offered, and in turn she would give him the love he sought from a woman.The musical selection ended and Simon led Paige through the throng. The next number was a rocking, upbeat tempo which got everyone to their feet, moving in time to the pounding, driving rhythm.Simon caught Tenor's arm. "We'll be on our way now.""You're leaving?" Tenor asked. Simon nodded, and Paige was as surprised as Tenor. "Give them whatever they want," he informed Tenor."You're
Fiona boldly walked up to them and flashed a smile."Who the hell let this pest in for god's sake." Simon swore under his breath making Paige giggle. "Hi Mr. Kentley." Fiona started with her annoying voice. "Miss Ruben, how are you?" Simon called coldly but Fiona did not seem to notice the coldness in his voice. "I'm managing to survive." She replied. Leaning forward, she peered at Paige. "Hi there, it's you again." She smiled "Won't you introduce us officially Mr. Kentley. I mean we're all here because of her." She said, draping her arm on Simon's hand.He gently removed her arm. "Miss Ruben, this is Paige Patterson, my girlfriend."A frown marred Fiona's beautiful face. "Your girlfriend." She murmured in annoyance."Fiona's father is a business pal of my dad's," Simon stated, deliberately ignoring Fiona. "This woman is no fucking girlfriend of yours!" Fiona shouted.Paige reacted as if she had been shot. Fiona's voice was strident, hysterical. Heads turned in their direction.Sim
