Those arms… they're so… masculine! How I wish they would hold me! He's gotten way more handsome over these past few years.

Allison was thinking as she flipped the egg.

I wonder if he has a girlfriend. Surely he must have a girlfriend. God, I can't believe I'm jealous right now.

She sighed helplessly, flipping the egg to the other side.

Sadly, Jack still doesn't see me as a woman. I'm still that weak, frail girl he once knew. I wonder what it is that makes him not see me unattractive. Is he gay? No, that's ridiculous. Jack is straight.

Maybe he doesn't see me as a woman, that's all.

She sighed again.

Maybe I should sort this out with Lucien. I have a family and it's breaking apart. I have to fix it.

“I'm home,” Lucien announced as he stepped inside the house.

    Lucien halted his motorcycle by the roadside, out of James's view and took off his helmet.From where he was, he could see a man alight from the car and then he opened the car for James.James stepped down and two men dressed in suits sprung out from nowhere and bowed slightly to him.Lucien quickly brought out his camera and began to take photos.His suspicion was now confirmed.James is indeed from the Mafia world.

    “Oh, I'm coming!” Alberto Diaz groaned in ecstasy.Lucille held him tightly, her legs wrapped around his waist, her long finger nails digging into his skin, her teeth biting down on his lower lip.Alberto jerked in pleasure and then blew his loads into her hole. He slumped beside her and the two began to exhale.Lucille lay back on the bed, her eyes staring up at the ceiling.She was satiated, Alberto has always been a masterpiece when it comes to having sex. And that was one of the reasons she loved him to the core.The thing is, he doesn't have sex only for his own pleasure, but also for the pleasure of the woman he was having sex with.Even though he was now getting old, he still had his vigor.“That was awesome Sweetie.” Lucille purred, jerking forward to place her head on his manly chest.“Yeah,” Alberto muttered, caressing her hair with his hand.

    Lucien walked out of the building with another briefcase in his hand, his face gleaming with excitement.He still can't believe that these people were willing to throw such money on him all for a ledger.What is this ledger? Was it worth all the money these people were throwing at him? Does the ledger contain billions or something?He wondered as he walked towards his motorcycle.He got on top and drove toward the parking lot beside his workplace where he always packed. He put away the briefcase on the car that was given to him.Making a mental note to put away the money in the vault, he locked the door and ambled to the road to get a cab.Almost immediately, a white cab pulled up, as if it had been waiting for him.Unsuspicious Lucien opened the car and got in.The moment he sat down, he had this sinking feeling of premonition and quickly glanced at the driver only to see that there was a glass demarcation between the driver's seat and the back seat.His heart began to pound furiousl

    Lucien Hayes stared at his reflection in the full-length mirror on the side of the room. He saw a man who was sad and utterly terrified of losing his marriage.Even though today was his first day as an employee at Gilmore Enterprises, one of the best companies in town, he still didn't feel quite happy.Rather he felt… hollow.He sighed for the one-thousandth time and adjusted his tie once more before grabbing his suitcase from the desk.He headed downstairs and found his wife, Allison, feeding their five-year-old daughter, Grace.“I'll be heading out now.” He announced.“Bye.” Allison retorted, without so much as a glance. Her gaze up focused on Grace, “Eat up darling.” She cooed.Lucien sighed, “Allison… can we please talk?”“There's nothing to talk about,” Allison replied, without sparing him a single glance.“Allison please…” He pleaded, “Are we done? You want us to continue like this? Is this marriage over?”“It was already over when you forebode me from moving to LA.” She snapped

    Lucien wasn't the only one who was shocked, James Gilmore was also shocked to see that the person he was inspiring was the same man that he had just nearly fought.Ha! How ironic!It wasn't long before James' shock turned into a gleam of amusement.Well, well…Lucien didn't know whether to just walk out of this office and kiss his new job goodbye or stay. He wanted to choose the first one but what the hell will Allison think?She'll use this opportunity to travel to LA.But how can this evil man be James Gilmore?! He wondered. The James Gilmore he's read about in the papers was inspiring and modest, not this evil vile of a human!James linked his fingers together and placed his elbows on his desk, resting his chin on his laced fingers, and directing his piercing gaze to Lucien's shocked eyes.Lucien averted his eyes, unable to maintain eye contact.It's better to kiss this job goodbye, he thought.“Welcome to Gilmore Enterprises, people,” James said aloud, his gaze still on Lucien, “Y

    The wristwatch on Lucien's wrist struck 4:30 PM and began to beep.Lucien stared at his watch and then fixated his gaze on the door that led to James's office.“Three,” He muttered under his breath, “... two, one!”Then the door immediately opened and James came out from his office. Lucien smiled.“I'll see you tomorrow,” James announced, without so much as a glance. “Bye.”Then he was off.Lucien sighed. It has been over two weeks that he's been working as James's secretary and he's noticed strange things about him.Every day, from Monday to Friday, as soon as the clock 4:30 PM, James calls it a day. He usually left work before anyone else. It was weird as fuck!But what was more weird was that no one cared to talk about him, as if they were scared of him or something. Even when he initiates a topic about him to his coworkers, they usually tell him dismissively. “We don't talk about that Mr Hayes.”As if there was something they knew that he didn't.

    The driver behind the wheels, Ryan Miller, a man in his late thirties, handled the car with perfect expertise. Then he pulled his gaze from the road to the rearview mirror.“He stopped following us, boss.” He reported, returning his gaze to the road.“Hmm.” Came James' response. A bleak of amusement flickering in his eyes, “So, indeed, they hired him.”“I'm afraid so, boss,” Ryan said.There was a pause.A deadly one.So deadly that Ryan felt it. Ryan became suffocated and shifted nervously in his seat.He pulled his gaze away from the road again and stared at his boss through the rearview mirror, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking as his eyes were on the road.Ryan hesitated for a bit, pondering whether or not to ask, after a while, he decided to do it, “Boss, will you… will you kill him like you did to your other secretaries?”There was no response from James and Ryan shifted nervously again.That was a good question.

    “So, Allison, how have you been?” Jack asked, leaning back against the chair.Allison tucked her hair behind her ears, and she blushed a little, “I'm doing great. What about you?”Jack shrugged, “Well, looked at me. I'm doing great actually.” He paused and sipped his coffee.“That's nice.” Allison wrapped her hands around the cup of coffee, feeling the warmth. “So, what are you doing here?”“I'm here on a business trip,” Jack replied “Wow, that's huge,” Allison commented.“I know right, my parents sent me here to handle business matters so I can get to prove myself to him before I take over the company.”“Wow, your life is great.” Allison drawled, her voice laced with suppressed envy. She wasn't envious because Jack was now living his best life with loving parents. She was envious because no one had agreed to adopt her. “How's your parents? Are they nice?”“Oh, they're great!” He replied, “They're sweet. Such cute couple.”“I'm happy for you,” Allison said.Jack leaned off the chair
