A Deal With the Arrogant Billionaire 145
Madam Elle opened the door and stood at the same spot for the next minute with glistening eyes. She lost her guard and threw her hand around Yara, to the latter's confusion and Grayson's surprise."You're welcome, Yara." Madam Elle whispered, smiling sweetly as a lone tear rolled down her left eye.Meanwhile Yara felt suffocated. She didn't realize how much she hated being hugged until now. Maybe, she never hated being hugged but the death of her good friend- Eleanor had thought her how painful it could be to detach from someone you were once attached to.It was one of the most painful things ever. And she did not wish to experience that again. Ever. That was why, she was now more than ever, being careful as how she close she let people come to her.'Less intimacy, Less pain'. She believed."I see someone has developed a soft spot for another!" Grayson teased, opening his arms wide for Madam Elle to draw nigh.The chief servant broke the hug she was sharing with Yara and rushed into G

~ Exposed ~"Leave Yara out of this!" Grayson angrily stated. His mother flinched, surprised at how angry he was. She couldn't understand why he was so bothered at something so irrelevant. What did it matter to him whether or not she laid Elle off?She had been useful many years ago. But not any more. She needed room for more young and efficient domestic workers who would not only help out with the chores but would also act as spies whenever she needed them to."Why do you act as though you care? And you dare raise your voice at me in the presence of your wife? What meaningful value are you impacting in her? That's why she's never respectful to me!" Hailey- Grayson's mother spat out angrily."This is nothing new. Your words have no effect on me. I won't like to continue on this matter, mother because you are yet to let me know which meaningful values you have also impacted on me. I'd like you to leave Yara out of this. And I'd be mad if I get to know that you fired Madam Elle. She ra

~ The Unsent Letters ~"I had no choice. You wanted to lie to your parents? Even if I attempted to, your mother is also a woman. She knows." Yara shrugged nonchalantly while sitting on the edge Grayson's bed in his black singlet and short.Grayson had been surprised after when they had returned from his parents place and Yara had knocked at his door, only in her bra. It was one of the few times he ever saw her like that. And he was opportuned to see her slight belly bump. It was so small, one would think that she was just over feeding or just in her first trimester. But she was six months gone.Her kind of pregnancy was indeed a blessing for him, as well. It would have been a lot of work having to explain to people when they see him with a lady having a baby bump. No one ever knew. Yara simply looked bigger on the outside. But when she was without her dress, the slight baby bump would be made obvious.Yara had asked to borrow his clothe. She went through his wardrobe, brought out one

~ Bounding ~"What wedding gift do you gave for her?" Lolita asked, taking a sit beside them.Yara sat next to the window. She wasn't scared of height and wanted to view the world and make small sketches of whatever she could. Maybe she would even find inspiration."What of you? What gift did you bring for her?" Yara asked, not ready to spill the beans.A day ago, she had discussed with Grayson what she could get for her best friend and he gave her the perfectly response. She had thought of it but when he mentioned that yo her again, she thought it was definitely the best!Grayson was actually a sweet man. She fully realized that yesterday when they spent quality time together in her room. No dirty talks, no making out, just staying there on her bed, holding hands and discussing intelligent things was so intimate and beautiful to her.She so much valued the time she spent with him and she would not lie nor dare to deny it; she was already missing him."That's how we're going to do it

The Wedding II (Cara's Hassles)The duo navigated their way from the airport to the house of the Petersons. Cara had asked them to meet her there which had initially surprised them because they were concerned that she must have gone crazy and was probably in the same house with Corey on their wedding day.Of course, it was shocking! Yara knew the sort of dramatic best friend she had who would never want Corey to have, no, not even a glimpse of how surreal should would look on a day like until they meet at the wedding hall. If not alter."Do you think anyone will be around?" Lolita asked, concerned.They had rang the door bell severally but no one had opened up for them. Lolita even knocked."Why would Cara tell us to meet her here if no one was around?" Yara reasoned."True. But I don't trust Cara... fully. She could be pranking us." Lolita was nearly frustrated."Maybe you should just call her?"Yara nodded. "Already doing so. I'm sure she's going crazy about her wedding gown or maki

~ A Test Of Friendship ~"He isn't around. Just be calm." Yara said, holding Cara's hand."It's two fifteen. He should be here by now. What do you think is holding him back?" Cara said nervously.Yara almost laughed. She had attended several weddings with her vest friend and she would whine about the bride looking extra nervous when it just her wedding day. As though they is nothing special about a wedding day. Now look who is talking."There could be other stuffs holding him back. Maybe he is also being worrisome like you and want to look extra good for his wife to be.""That better to be the case." Cara smiled, rubbing her hands together. They had exited the car and were walking through the back to the place where she was gout to wait till she would be called out. Her friends were with her but Camella had stopped to greet their friends and relatives that were in attendance of their wedding."Who is going to take you to the alter?"

Literally. She was not the bride to be married, she was not the respected man who walked her best friend to the altar, but though behind, she had literally walked down there and it made her heart heavy with emotion. "Look into the eyes of the man before you." The priest instructed Yara.Cara smiled with trembling lips. She was doing such a good work holding herself from tearing up or should could end up scaring everyone there. Her makeup, her face and much more could be ruined.She stared at Corey, lost in the golden flakes that danced around his orbs. She swore within her that she could never be tired of it.Everything about he

"I'm not trying to blame you for anything. You know more than anyone else that I've alway wanted to have a video that would go viral. Then it happens to be my wedding video. I don't mean to get on your nerves but are... you expecting me to cry?" Cara questioned.It didn't take an hour for the short clips those reporter had taken to be all over the media. Right where she was trying to talk it out with Yara, she got the notifications. Got to know that it was not just uploaded on YouTube but on Twitter and there were already tens of thousands of views.Corey wasn't someone that cared about having a renowned wedding.

The thought made Yara smile. A child was coming, so the mansion was not going to remain boring forever.The only issue she had at the moment with her pregnancy was the four temper that suddenly came with it. She something couldn't recognize herself any longer because she would snap and yell at anyone whenever she got cross.Yara did not want Tehila to be a victim of her foul temper so she gave her the opportunity of taking some time away from the mansion to breathe and do other things she wanted. But Tehila had vehemently refused, insisting of taking care of her. And that moved her to tears.Whether it was plain hatred for the word 'neighbour' or just because that he liked being alone, Yara had no idea. There were rarely people visiting Grayson. They did come once in a while and he even used to have indoor parties; but after that day she was almost raped, there was almost never a guest.Yara stared at her wrist. She was an hour late for their meeting. She wondered if Mr Fel had though

Yara pushed herself off the comfortable leather of the Benz. She heard a faint squish before peering through the windscreen from the back seat. A look through it made her realize they were not anywhere near the park. Hell, they had not even made it past Grayson's gate. She watched the sky high silver gate roll open slowly. She tapped her foot on the floor, with her pointer and middle fingers drumming against her head. That was the only thing that kept her from snapping at the bald headed gate man who stood watching the gate with the remote control in his wrinkled right hand. Her temper had gotten worse these past few days. Maybe it was because she was drawing nigh to day she would go into labour.She was about rolling down the glass to snap at the man, when the gate finally came open and the car resumed it's motion. She blew out a breath and let her back land on the chair. Yara closed her eyes for a few minutes in a bid to clear her head. What was she planning to do? She had no rea

"Yara please... I need you to for...give... I'll explain, okay? Let's just meet up..."My nails were digging into my skin at this point and I didn't mind the pain. Several thoughts ran through my mind at that moment as I waited for her to finish speaking. _Why did she even still have my number? Could it mean that she was actually shameless?_She felt her lips tugging up at that thought as she ignored the heavy breathing on the other end of the line. Just when my lips had curved into a full smile, a silly voice at the back of my head came crashing into my thoughts. _Or maybe it has something to do with the countless missed calls you give him on a daily basis with different numbers_. My smile fell at that moment and once again, she was filled with rage. If my subconscious was a person, she would have stabbed the living daylight out of it. At that moment, she became aware of David's voice at the other end of the line. She was only able to make out something about meeting him at a cer

The house greeted her with it's usual gesture, the silence resonating more than it had ever done. Her fingers brushed against the wooden lintel as she made her way into the sitting room, echoes of her footsteps thrown back at me with every step I took. Unsure if she was still in control of my body, she drifted further into the living room until she was well past it. Yara stepped onto the wooden staircase, my hand finding the banister as she moved up. Even with the left banister supporting her weight, she felt like she would trip at any moment and she would have grabbed onto the other banister if it wasn't miles away from my reach. _Fucking exaggerated staircase._After what seemed like ages, she found her way to her mother's study. She dropped down on the rotating chair in the middle of the room, feeling the leather crease under my weight. The impact caused her to spin around for a second before the chair came to a standstill. Yara stared at the monitor that faced me before my eyes

Yara glanced at her phone screen for the umpteenth time, resisting the urge to pick it up. She had been tempted to call Cara from the minute she informed her that she would be leaving for her honeymoon. It would only be right for her to call to check if they had arrived safely but then she didn't want to disturb her or interrupt her time with Covey. If they had arrived much earlier than planned, then her call would be a disturbance. After much thought, she decided to call her the next morning. At least then she would be sure she wasn't disturbing her. She let out a sigh, rolling over on her bed. The moment she cancelled out calling Cara from her mind, the next name that popped up in her head was Angelina. She hadn't spoken to her in a while and although she knew she probably wouldn't pick up her call, she grabbed her phone and rung her up..After about three trials, she gave up, deeming it pointless. She groaned, tossing her phone aside. Just then, her ringtone blasted through the

One of Covey's hands left Cara's waist, the grip of the other tightening to make up for the loss. His fingers trailed around the hem of her top for a moment before moving upwards. She let out a moan when his hand unclasped her bra and kneaded her breast. His lips left hers, allowing her to catch her breath while he sucked on the nape of her neck. "Covey," she moaned, feeling lightheaded. She was vaguely aware of the elevator arriving on their floor before a ding sounded and the door opened. Covey seemed completely unaware of the fact as his hands continued roaming every part of her body while his lips worked wonders. Covey nibbled on a particular spot, driving her completely over the edge. She let out a loud moan, shutting her eyes while relishing the pleasure. The things he did to her. She reopened her eyes to find a pair of eyes trained on her. She was speechless for about a minute before she finally found her voice. "Covey," she whispered, still staring at the people standing

"Who is Kiki?"The question came tumbling out before Cara could even stop herself. Corey stared at her for about a minute without speaking. She was starting to think that the network had begun to disturb until she heard his voice again."No one important.""No one important?" Cara repeated, raising a brow, "The bitch called some hours ago faking some damn congratulations. And yeah, she mentioned being close to you and you're saying she's no one important!? She told me shit about your ex like I care about your past? For all I know, she's probably some deranged lunatic who needs to be looked into""Hey, calm down," Corey said and she rolled her eyes. "I can't calm down when I know that there's a creep out there who happens to be close to you. Should I not be disturbed? Babe, you can't possibly expect me to be calm. At least let me know what she has to do with you."Cara's shoulders had slacked a bit and her voice probably sounded whiny but she did not care. "I told you already, she's

"We hope you enjoy your stay here," the receptionist said, a warm smile gracing her face. Cara returned the smile as she extended her hand to collect the key card from her. The receptionist looked like she couldn't be more than twenty. Highest, she'd be in her early twenties. "Thank you," Cara said, still maintaining her smile. The receptionist nodded, keeping on her own smile. The nod caused the wine red hijab she wore, which matched her uniform, to ruffle a bit. Cara spun around afterwards, concluding that everyone in Qatar was nice. Ever since she and Covey arrived, all the people they met had been nothing but warm to them. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Covey in a while. He was supposed to meet her ages ago but he was nowhere in sight. She glanced around the almost empty reception in hopes of seeing him. While her eyes roamed every corner of the place, a tap on the back made her jump. She spun around to find Covey smiling at her. "You. . ."She pressed her lips together

Grayson pulled her closer into his arms. It was awkward because the light were on and it constantly reminded her of what she was about to give in to.She remained rigid. Her body was melting in his arms and her ovaries screamed for his touch but she did not show it. She fought the sudden urge to be kissed senseless. She hated that she was vulnerable because his scent was intoxicating, further playing with her senses, and her walls further breaking down.She had to do something fast before she gives in to her body so she pulled away from his hold."You're mad about the wedding?" Grayson whispered. The room was suddenly looking dim. While he had inquired from her, he turned to his bedside table and switched off the dolphin blue bed lamp. He had intended to leave it on while he switched off the lights. But Yara didn't want that.Yara's heart beat accelerated. The suddenly dimness further increased her desires. "I'm not just mad about the wedding. I just want to sleep peacefully." She s
