Allicia was used to spending the time alone in the mansion, she casually left the door opened while she was in the only available room that she used. She looked for a towel and threw it on the bed. Her clothes were wet already and since she was staying until the rain was over, she decided to pull off the clothes.
She removed her skirt first and then her shirt. She picked up the clothes and carefully spread them on the armrest of a wooden chair in the room. She turned around to pick up to towel to clean her slightly wet body when her eyes met with his. The man stood at the entrance of the room, his figure made the entrance appear smaller than it should be, a sharp glint flashed through his dark orbs as he down stared at the girl. Allicia stood frozen at the same spot, the humming stopped and the pressure from the man's intense gaze made it a bit difficult to breath. Who was this man and where did he come from?! These were the questions that filled her head. She only looked at him briefly before she subconsciously looked down and took a step back. Seeing that she was only in her pink unsightly braziers and her panties, she flushed beetroot. She was inches away from the towel on the bed but the man's overbearing countenance made her feel immobile. She was simply too shocked to do anything. The man was astounded by the sight before him. Seeing the half naked girl made blood rush into his head and his blood boiled. His clenched his fist and let out a low deep growl which escaped from his throat. His seemingly was resisting the immoral pictures that were messing with his head. The girl before him, although with lack of adequate maturity, her body was slightly rounded and perfect. The man narrowed his eyes, the more he looked at her, his head was flooded with ambiguous pictures, and his eyes blurred with lust. Even if he wanted to look away, he just couldn't help it. Perhaps, because he had been immobile for such a long time, his body appeared to be out of his control, his body moved faster than his mind. Before he knew what was happening, he took a step closer to the girl. Allicia felt his overbearing aura closing in on her and she sulked in a cold breath. She knew he was coming closer to her, she drew in a cautious breath and took a shaky step back. But, the man would not stop moving closer to her. His countenance was so thick that it felt like a mountain pressing down on her frail shoulders threatening to break her. "What… what are you doing?" She stuttered with a breathless whisper.The man did not answer her immediately, he stopped in front of her and raised his hand, his fingertips tapped her collarbone slightly while he looked down at her. Allicia felt her heart stop for a split second when his cold fingertips touched her, her body trembled slightly. It felt as though a bolt of electric current zapped through her body. Her spine straightened and her heart was thumping crazily. This was this closest that she had been to the opposite sex, it felt stuffy as he invaded her space. She was deprived of the gush of fresh air as all she could breath in was his scent. It almost choked her.Her slight reaction missed the man's eyes. All that he could think about was the flames that was scourging within him. "You should not be here" the man said. His Adam's apple bobbled as he spoke, his deep voice fell on her ears and she looked up involuntarily. She should have come back. She knew this in her head, and she was afraid of what was to come.The man did not give her enough time to react before he grabbed her, toppled her and pressed her under him. He impatiently ignored her mental rejection and the plead in her innocent misty eyes. That moment, the man took her in the harshest way ever, and without mercy, he stole her innocence. Biting her lips and holding back her tears, she squirmed under him, pain spread across her body as she gripped the sheets tightly. She regretted returning to the mansion and hated meeting the man more. Her hatred for him ran deep to her core. —The rain fell all the way until dawn. Exhausted, Allicia peered open her eyes. A short painful groan escaped her lips the instant she tried to sit up. She bit her lip and rolled her eyes to stop the tears that were gathered in her eyes from dropping. She looked around until her eyes fell on her tattered underwear which laid carelessly on the ground where it was tossed by the man. Allicia looked at the man who was still sleeping as though nothing happened, bitterness welled in her throat. She immediately pulled her eyes away from him. She finally understood the meaning of the first rule she was given when she came to work in the mansion. A monster lived in the mansion! Painfully, she got up from the bed, she grabbed the torn pieces of her underwear and kept it in a bag which she usually carried. She took a small knife she hid in the bag and walked towards the bed. She had no intention to hurt anyone and she simply cut off the part of the sheet that was tainted by her innocence and the representation of the shameful activity that took place between she and the man. She hid the piece of cloth in her bag and also wore her skirt and shirt. She braced herself up again and began walking away. At the entrance of the room, she cast one last look at the sleeping man before looking away. Her eyes remained peaceful as they used to be but there was only a hollow of what they used to be."Leader, it's good that you are here already. They had just announced the presence of the big boss. He should be going on stage now" Julie voiced as she made way for Allicia to stand with them.Alicia gave a slight nod and she stood beside the members of the team. In that instant, Allicia felt Annie moving slightly closer to her and her flustered whispering voice soon reached her ear."Leader, quickly, look! The boss is on the stage already!" Annie expressed in awe.Allicia lifted her head and subconsciously, her gaze fell on the stage. To her astonishment, her eyes fell on the familiar figure and face that was already perfectly etched in her memory. It was a face with peculiar and distinct features that she can tell even with her eyes closed. That face had haunted her dreams many times already.Her breath ceased for a few seconds and her eyes widened. She had yet recovered from the unexpected encounter she had with him and seeing him again, her body trembled involuntarily. Unknowingl
A while ago, a man dressed in an exquisite suit stepped out of an elevator, his secretary followed closely behind him while maintaining a reasonable distance from him at the same time. The secretary did not dare to walk on the same level as his boss. Just then, when they were about to enter the venue of the company's dinner, the man suddenly halted, he looked in a certain direction with a cold glare before he made a sharp twist and began hurrying in that direction. The secretary was dumbfounded and confused for a moment before he got back to himself and rushed after his boss. Who would have thought that the man's pace was so fast that he did not catch up with him immediately? The man who was hurrying in that direction was certain that what he saw this time was not a mere fraction of his imagination but a real person. He had to catch up with that person and see who it was at all costs. Whether his head was only imagining that person who played on his dreams every night or the person
Allicia got into the taxi and waved at her baby as the taxi zoomed off. She glanced at the time and she saw that there was still about an hour to the dinner. There was also about twenty minutes drive from the apartment to the venue where the dinner was going to hold. She looked at her phone and screened through the pictures of her that Ava took before she left the house. She saw a few pretty ones and decided to upload them on her social media account. She did not have many friends in her social circle but after she uploaded her pictures, it garner likes from her friends and a few comments. She quickly responded to some of the comments and closed the app. Before she knew it, the car stopped in front of the venue for the dinner. Allicia mouthed a word of thanks, paid her fare and stepped out of the car. She pinched her dress and walked walked on the stairs that led into the event hall. When she stepped inside, she found that the hall was already filled with people, both familiar and u
"Please, don't…" a gasp slipped past her parted lips and she let out a nervous murmur that was barely audible. A solemn whimper incessantly slipped through her lips at the same time. Her eyes were shut tightly and her brows furrowed, beads of perspiration rolled down her forehead down to her cheeks while her body also thrashed violently around the bed. Her fingers were balled to form a tight fist. She clenched her fingers so tightly that blood ceased to flow in her hands, her veins and blood vessels popped and her hands became pale. A teardrop leaked out of the corner of her eyes and it mixed with the beads of sweat rolling down to her cheek. The strands of her messy hair stuck against the skin of her face and neck, and her breathing was shallow, it was as though something pressed heavily against her chest. The torturous moment came and passed after a while, her laboured breathing slowly eased and after a few minutes had passed, she slowly opened her eyes again. She inhaled deeply a
"That is all for now. Try to arrange a meeting with the other company's representatives the week after this so that we can talk about their proposal" Allicia instructed her secretary. "Yes, Leader. I will do that immediately" Annie voiced. "Alright," Allicia said with a slight nod. "If there is nothing else, you can take your leave" she added and looked down at the documents before her. As soon as she completed the investment proposal of Microm Tech corporation, her group already had another proposal to deal with the following week. Although she was trying to work at a quick pace and complete the new proposal, the event that was coming up in the company was also taking up her time. The employees were all occupied with the preparations for the event the entire week. Everyone had their minds on the event. This made Allicia to be slightly irritated. Even her teammates were all distracted, the ladies would rather talk about the dress they would wear than come up with ideas for their ne
"How can I help you like this, little girl? The mall has its policies, if I stand in for you today, other people will want someone to stand in for them too when they don't have money to pay" Olivia said in the softest voice ever. "But, I really promise–" "Enough, young girl! This is a place for serious business not a place to make promises! You have heard me, if you don't have money, just leave and let me attend to other important people!" The cashier uttered sharply. Allicia could no longer take it, she looked at the young girl whose eyes were already filled with years and reluctance to drop the box. She grabbed the girl's wrist and pushed the girl behind her. "Who said there is no money to pay?" Allicia glared at the cashier. "The girl clearly has no money to pay!" The cashier voiced, she really did not like how Allicia was being so nosy. Just when Allicia was about to speak, Olivia interrupted her. "Miss, I understand that you are concerned with the young girl but–" Before Ol
