Three days had past and Matilda had been miserable, drowning in boredom and loneliness. Her room was dark and messy, everything had worked against her and she was partly depressed for those three days, except she wanted to live. At least if she must die she must see the bright part of life first. Today, she had decided to return to her part time work at the bar, Kim had called several times but she never answered nor returned her call. Marcus her boss was probably very mad at her now. He must hate her by now. She dragged her feet lazily as she began to clean up her room. She needed money to feed at least. Once she was done she grabbed her waste bag to dispose in the general refuse bin. The moment she opened her door, two panting dogs and Edward the Graham's house steward, greeted her. "Good morning Miss Matilda," he greeted with a forced smile plastered on his face, Matilda returned the fake gesture, then her face squeezed into a frown as she looked down on the dogs."I thought leav
Andre sat before a keyboard in his office, with James, his assistant, standing beside him. He appeared to be putting Andre through something."... And the dog appointment is tomorrow sir."" Push that to next week, I'll head home first to see the decoration process." Andre said, his eyes still glued on the keyboard. His house was going through some furniture changes and he had obliged to his mother's persuasion to get a new dog. With the success of his company, he was too occupied at work that he had not made out time to visit Matilda again.She must think he was a jerk who just stole kisses from her. He wanted to see her as badly but he wanted everything to settle down, so he'd treat her to some nice dinner."What's next?" He asked, feeling exhausted already."I made serious background checks on lots of sugar babies and I've compiled a list of the top and best ones. They have really awesome reviews." He turned the laptop slightly towards him and began navigating through the page.
"What's going on here?" She stilled hearing his voice. She was definitely going to be in trouble if whatever was inside that box was broken. She remained fixated on the box as James walked towards it. He began unwrapping the box while Matilda tensed up."It's still intact." He said, Matilda breathed a sigh of relief and could hear her supervisor sigh behind her."Matilda?" Andre called, he had been staring at her the whole time and even though her oversized uniform made it difficult to recognize her, he was still able to get a clue that it was her. "You know her?" Her supervisor asked."Uh- not very much. Just..." Andre stuttered not knowing how to explain how they got to know each other. "Newbie, won't you turn around to apologise at least. You're already so much of a headache to me. I shouldn't have employed you in the first place...." He continued nagging, while Matilda kept her back against them. Thankfully she had not destroyed the item, otherwise, how was she going to pay for
She didn't question him, but for a stranger, he certainly could see through her and tell that she was battling within. They remained silent throughout the ride. It was a calming long ride. The windows were down so she splayed her hands out so the breeze could slap against them. Andre had stolen several glances at her on the ride and was relieved to see that she was peaceful. He had no idea what she was going through but he wanted to know at this point and be a part of it. Now that she was his sugar baby, actually, about to be, he would make sure she didn't go through her problems alone. This was supposed to be a contract relationship, but this time was different and he knew that he was already having feelings for her."A beach house!" She exclaimed as she got out of the car. Andre was standing behind her as she stared at the building before her. It was magnificent and the pool side was hilarious. Enough space for a massive pool party. Andre sure loved luxury and went a little extra
She had no answers to her questions, so she surprised her self even further as she went in again for a deeper and longer kiss. The moment her soft lips locked with his succulent ones. Her entire body was ignited and before she could take another slide Andre had pulled her away. She couldn't believe it, he had just pulled away from her kiss. She felt really embarrassed not being able to decipher his expression so she ran. The only way she could escape from such embarrassing situation.what are you doing standing there? You should go after her. The voice in his head spoke. She probably felt bad thinking he didn't want the kiss but in reality, he had only pulled away to stop himself from doing something she wasn't ready for. She already saw him as a lustful person. He didn't want to prove her right especially not today."Mati!" He called as he went after her."Please don't come after me... Please don't." She muttered still climbing the stairs in a haste. How was she going to face him whe
She stared down at her phone even though Andre had left her with a parting kiss on her cheek. He had said it was a sweet token but she still couldn't believe it. By the time she snapped out of her shock to dwell in the reality that he had actually doubled the amount, she fell back to her bed excitement blooming all over her. She sat up releasing air through her mouth. Everything was going to go into debt paying but it didn't matter at all. At least the dogs were useful even though she felt bad about selling them, they were in good hands and she'd probably see them again.A message popped in and it read, "My driver will pick you up tomorrow for the change of ownership." Andre was really particular about this process. Was it that he didn't trust her to show up? She waved the thought aside and went into the shower to freshen up. Once she was out, the first thing her eyes caught up with was her laptop. The images of how many times she shut down the laptop due to no clients popped in he
On the morning of the day she had to transfer ownership to Andre, Matilda was woken up by several calls from Bruno, the second Graham son. She waved the bulk of her dark hair to the back as she reached out for her phone."Bruno?" She was rhetorical. Ever since the reading he had never contacted her and she had resolved not to have anything to do with the family again.Free for lunch today? Read the message that popped into her phone. She was hesitant as she didn't know what to say to him. She tossed her phone aside and strode into the bathroom to freshen up. She needed to get to the office at 10 a.m for the transfer of ownership. It was a good day for her and all the burden she had felt all along had been lifted. She was debt free now and the taste of freedom was green as life. She packed her hair into a porny, picked a tiny little bag which she hung across her shoulder and pecked her lips with a white lip gloss before leaving. The moment she got into the building, she sighted Jame
Matilda turned in her sleep as her ears itched with irritation from the sound of her alarm, she needed to be up early for her big day, the day she got to sign her contract and meet her client. "Shut up already!" She said, her fingers working clumsily in search for the alarm at her side table. She finally put it off, sitting up with the length of her hair covering up her face. She rolled herself out of the bed only to sit up sharply as if realizing she had to get herself ready for the day. The buzzing sound from her phone halted her lazy steps towards the bathroom. Her brow hiked wondering who could be calling at that time. The number had no name on it but she had her suspicion. She had been texted the other day by her client's management team on where and when she needed to be for the contract signing. On second thought, it could be Bruno calling with a different line so she wouldn't know it was him.She quickly reached out for the phone to pick the call."Hello...." She answered."H
Days had gone by since Tyler was dragged to rehab, Matilda had felt bad during those days for what they did. She knew Tyler was very mad at her now but Andre had been very supportive telling her she did the right thing.She had the discussion with him before they visited Tyler at the hospital and made urgent arrangement for it, she was convinced that Tyler would gamble again and as his big sister she needed to protect him. Today was the day of the art exhibition where Andre got to get his mother the famous artwork of her favourite artist in the auction. Matilda was all dressed in a black strapless body fitted gown, a diamond necklaced dressed around her neck and her faced adorned in a natural make up. She looked very elegant and pretty as always. She was standing before the mirror, taking in her full view when Andre came to stand behind her leaning closely to her back while he held and rubbed her shoulder gently."You look pretty." Andre said in a sultry voice dropping pecks on her n
"You came." Matilda spoke surprised. She wasn't looking forward to it but whatever little sparks was going on between the two would end soon. Andre was going to make sure if it."Does he know?" Alice asked Matilda."Oh.... He told you already." She realized where Alice was driving at."Don't kid mati I was in charge of getting a centre for him." The two kept whispering about things Tyler couldn't make a meaning of but it looked like they were hiding something from him.Alice had relieved Matilda of her night watch over Tyler and nothing pleased him more than to be alone with her. It was uncomfortable at first with all the tension between them but they soon relaxed as Tyler started his jokes. They were finally exhausted from all the talks and laughs and Alice was now resting her head beside Tyler's bed. He was awake and she was too. Tyler let his fingers slid her hair to uncover her face, she tensed at his touch and held her breath."I know I'm overstepping again but I really want to s
After taking her time to swallow up the embarrassment she felt, she walked back into the room feigning normalcy. Andre and Matilda gave her that uneasy look again covering it up with a smile.The doctor was there and he was briefing them on Tyler's condition, from what she made out of his words he would be discharged in two days as he responded quickly to treatment. She came to stand beside Matilda who was sitting beside Tyler after the doctor left, her gaze trying to be anywhere but that wasn't on Tyler who stole glances from her at each point while pretending to listen to Matilda's cheering talks."I'll be on my way now." She said trying to sound as clear and normal as possible but it came out weak and cracked. She coughed slightly before clearing her throat."Alread?" Tyler yelled more than ask the question which startled everyone. He soon adjusted his countenance seeing the reaction. "Thanks for watching after me." He tried to sound normal but in truth he didn't want her to leave,
Both Matilda and Andre stared in shock looking at the page James was showing them, it was Matilda's Instagram page and she had just gained over three million followers from the scandal Lena had thought would destroy her."How is this possible?" She was till dazed from it." The good side of bad publicity. If you build a brand with your current audience and do something that turns them to fall in love with you then everything would completely backfire to Lena." James explained.She was still marvelled at how he had managed to convince this news outlets to bring down their pictures and degrading post about her from their sites and and now this. She paced about the room chuckling in disbelief."I can't believe this," she said and held James hand in hers. " Thank you so much." She said and he nodded though acting uneasy. He tilted his head pointing towards Andre and she left his hands assuming he was talking about Andre's jealousy but he signalled again with his eyes."You should thank hi
When Andre woke up after they dozed off from their intense sex, he couldn't find Matilda on the bed. He stood up from bed and searched around the room for her but she wasn't there. He toured the places he assumed she could be in the house and still couldn't find her. He became paranoid, scared that she might have been taken away in their sleep. As ridiculous as it sounded he couldn't help his scared heart so he hurried to ask one of his house steward about her and his chest fell in relieve the moment he was told that she was in the garden."There you are." He called out to her watching her pick berries from his garden and putting them into a small bowl. She stood up sighting him and smiled back at him."You are awake already, I wanted to get this berries for Tyler." She said moving towards him. The sunlight on her skin made her shine prettier. She was a double stunner under the sunlight and Andre was lost in admiration. "Have you gotten enough?" He said welcoming her into his arms,
Matilda crawled up the bed on her back with her elbow supporting her to move, Andre looked at her romantically scared eyes as he began to unbutton his shirt with a sexy smirk on his face as he feasted on her body with his eyes. His pink plump lips stretched its length as he smiled seductively thinking about having himself inside of her and riding in that esctasy.Matilda stopped moving once her elbow got to the pillow, her body quivered as Andre began to climb up the bed with a dominant and predating step unable to tear his eyes away from her. He was in control even when she wasn't laying beneath him yet. She was soaking wet inside of her pant and her hoe was throbbing for his penetration."Come here." He commanded and the authority he held in his tone spiked her emotions more, she only kept sighing and didn't move but instead had the urge to move away from him.He paused along the line and looked at her in a way that got her romantically terrified. He let out a deep sigh and in one s
She felt the cold chill run through her body, she was dazed blinking her eyes as she looked into space. Her heart fluttered with emotions swirling inside of her but it wasn't right, this feeling she had just felt from the touch of his lips on hers, it wasn't right. She snapped out of the spelling sweetness, a death glare on her face as she pulled away and the terror in Tyler's face as if he had regretted his actions. "Have you gone insane?" She yelled hitting him hard in his chest which managed to push him back in the bed. Tyler was painfully silent as he clutched his chest unable to voice out a word. His expression showed that he was in pain, his lips were open and rounded as if he was trying to voice out something but found it difficult to do."W-whats wrong?" Alice panicked scared that she might have hurt him. What was she thinking hitting someone that was already in a bad shape? "Oh my goodness Tyler!" She stood up hastily confused on what to do. If anything happened to him ho
Alice was shocked having not expected that. She blinked several times looking away before sliding her hand off his. Tyler chuckled at how nervous she had acted. Her fingers were cold when he held her hand so he knew she had been nervous before then."It feels so soft." He muttered to himself, referring to her hand." What did you say?" She was puzzled at what he was referring to now."I said you have a pretty face." He laughed seeing her conflicting expression."What are you trying to do?" Tyler scoffed wondering if she was pretending or just naive. He lifted his head to get a clear picture of her before falling back to the bed."You either smile or say thank you." " Why?" Her reply made him want to sit up instantly but the pain he felt in his head dragged him back. "I just said you are pretty." "I already know that." She was straightforward which confused Tyler the more. So he shook his head instead."Forget it, just bring the food." He waved her away and she returned seconds la
Tyler was unconscious as a result of the terrible beating he was given. He was tended to at the hospital and Andre had made sure that he had a ViP room for his treatment. Spacious enough to be someone's living room and everything was set in place to make him feel at home.Matilda rested her head at the edge of the bed where Tyler laid, she had refused to lay on the couch when Andre suggested. She never wanted to leave Tyler's side after what they had just gone through. Seeing her brother with so much injuries on his body and still unconscious broke her heart. At the middle of the night she had woken up and her eyes trailed to where Andre was sitting on the couch with his head rested backward. He had been watching over her for long and only succumbed to sleep few minutes ago. Matilda sighed recalling how he had risked his life to save her and she couldn't help but admire him even more.She stood up from where she sat and strolled towards him. She squat before him and slowly scanned hi
