“Hello, again.” He said, slowly waving his fingers at me, he was dressed in jeans and a black silk shirt.“Why are you here,” “No, I am not, this bench is public property so I have the same equal rights to sit here as you do.”“Right. Okay then, let me rephrase. Are you stalking me? You are, aren’t you? How did you even know where I was?” I ask him. He chuckles under his breath before turning to me.“I’m not stalking you, I was just passing by.”“That seems oddly suspicious,” I replied, narrowing my eyes at him.He chuckles, shaking his head. “If you want me to stalk you, I will. All you have to do is ask Angel.” He said with a sly smile on his face making me roll my eyes.“And why will I want that? That's creepy and besides you said you’ll see me again so sue me for thinking you’re a stalker”“I did say that but that doesn’t make me a stalker. Why are you out here looking at the hospital building, I assume you know someone there so why aren’t you in there?”“None of your business,”

“Thank you, Cedrick, you’re a literal lifesaver,” I say shutting the car door.“No need to thank me, I simply did my job but you’re welcome.” He replies, before driving off.Wait, his job? I’m confused. Didn’t he say he was simply passing by when he saw me?Argh! I shake all the thoughts away before making my way up the stairs. The door opened before I could input the passcode unveiling William who stood on the other end, dressed in his usual button-up shirt, tie, and slacks. while loosening his tie, he sidestepped, granting me access to the house, I walked timidly in, and he shut the door behind me.“Thanks,” I muttered quietly.His eyes soften slightly as he briefly studies me before speaking, “Um, is everything okay?” He asks.Why was he asking me that?“Yes uhm I’m fine, Everything is fine.” I stutter keeping my head bent. “So how was work?” I found myself asking in an attempt to make conversations.“Freshen up and meet me in the living room.” He says ignoring my questionI raised

I watched him as he put his cufflinks in place before placing a kiss on my lips. It’s been a few days since my dad’s death anniversary and William and I haven’t defined whatever we have going on but he’s been more relaxed and calm around me with a bunch of stolen kisses too.“Are you free today?” He asks as he spritzes his cologne.“You’re asking me that question.” I asked gasping dramatically, “do I do anything with my day,” I said, folding my arms as I rested on the entryway to his closet.“A simple no would have sufficed,” he says amused briefly, sending a glance my way. “Be ready at eight, Cedrick will pick you up and drop you at a restaurant.”“You lost me. What restaurant?” I ask, my brows creasing as I mull over what he said.“You don’t need to know all you have to do is dress pretty and be there, Cedrick will pick you up.”My brows shot up. “Are you asking me out on a date Mr. Armani? I ask teasingly“You are free to think whatever you want to, just be there at eight.” “Of c

I walked into the restaurant, admiring the beautiful blend of gold and red as I made my way to the front desk. The lady behind the desk looked up as I approached her with a tight-lipped smile.“Good evening Ma’am, do you have a reservation?” She inquired, looking at me briefly before looking down at the system in front of her.“Yeah, I am here to meet William, William Armani. My name is Bailey, Bailey Sim-Armani.” I stammered, it felt weird claiming his last name as mine.“Mrs. Armani, of course. Your table has been set, I’ll get someone to take you there.” She says and I nod. She phones someone with the phone on the table and a moment later, a lady emerges from the door behind her.“Right this way, Mrs. Armani.” She points, walking ahead of me, and taking me to the table.“Here we are Mrs. Armani, I’ll get a waiter to be with you soon. Mr. Armani should be here shortly.” She says and I nod, watching her leave. The lighting was a bit dark, creating an atmosphere of romance and mystery

“William’s p.o.v.I picked up my suit jacket, shutting my laptop off as I got up from my chair. I can’t believe I asked Bailey out on a date, a real date. I wasn’t even thinking, when I did that, it just happened in the spur of the moment. I glanced at the time on my wristwatch. It was a few minutes to six. I wonder if she was already getting ready to meet me.My office door creaks open, interrupting my thoughts. I watched as Luke walked in with Henry not too far behind.“Are you clocking out?” Luke inquired.“Yes.” I turn to Henry. “Why are you still here? Why haven't you gone?” “I did but I had to come back. I hate to be the bearer of bad news.” Fuck!I glanced from Henry to Luke. “What bad news?” “There was a leak at one of the acid storage units in our of the plants and an emergency shutdown was initiated,” Henry says.“How bad is it?”“Horribly,” Luke replies, taking my attention from Henry. “Most of the acid has been contained but It is still a big mess, our response team is

Bailey’s p.o.v“It was quite expected.” The stranger replies, smiling at me.“Are you also having problems? Is that why you’re here at the beach?”“No, I actually came here with my boyfriend.”“Oh,” I say nodding. “ You can get back to him and enjoy the rest of your night, I’m good.”“He doesn’t mind," he replies, looking down briefly at his phone. “And I can spare a couple of minutes talking.” He says before glancing in the direction where his boyfriend was before turning his attention back to me.“Thanks,” I mutter with a small smile, he nods at me tapping my shoulder.“I’m James.” He introduces himself.“Nice to meet you James, I’m Bailey.”“I have to say, your guy is quite stupid.” He remarks and I shake my head letting out a laugh.“You don’t even know him or what he did to me.”“I don’t need to know and even if I did know the details, I’ll still call him stupid. “Maybe confiding in a stranger would get the pain off my chest“He stood me up,” I confess, looking down at my feet i

The bright rays of the sun coming through the window stirred me in my sleep, slowly peeling my eyes open slightly. I found myself at the other end of the bed, facing away from the door. I glanced at the clock which read 10 a.m. as I rolled over to the other side of the bed and let out a scream as I saw William’s face staring back at me.This was my room so what was he doing here?“What are you doing here?” I ask, voicing my thoughts as I sit up straight, watching him as he sits on my chair that he pushes close to my bed. His hair looked like he had run his hands through it multiple times and he was dressed in comfortable sweats“I brought breakfast.” He says, glancing at my bedside table. I followed his gaze and gasped at the breakfast tray I hadn't noticed before, he placed a full English breakfast on the tray with a mug of hot chocolate.“Why?” I inquired looking at him skeptically. I know I was upset yesterday but today was a new day, I don't want to bring that negative energy into
A PACT TO LOVE Chapter 126
I groaned, reluctantly waking up again as the sun rays kissed my face, I buried myself deeper into the bed and covers, breathing in the familiar cologne Iingering around me. I turned to the other side and froze feeling something firm and warm. I open my eyes taking a peek at William’s sleepy face. I lay there staring at him and a smile formed on my face as I remembered the events of this morning.As I rose from the bed, I felt pulled back as I felt a dull ache between my legs, a painful reminder of the intense morning we shared. He certainly wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't a gentleman.I rubbed my face glancing around the room. My eyes landed on the clock that read 3 p.m. Pushing the covers a bit away from me, my hand instinctively covered my mouth to stop a shriek from escaping my lips as the realization hit me, I was naked and so was William in his masculine glory, a wave of nervousness washed through me and I immediately pulled the covers back. Feeling flushed, I turned back
