Chapter 43The room was mildly illuminated from the reflection of sunlight through the curtain, it was morning already and Matilda had slept very peacefully. It was a huge relief to both her and Andre otherwise the nightmare of the previous night would have been their fate again.Matilda turned in bed turning slightly against Andre who was already awake watching down on her. His elbow supported the weight of his head also giving a balance to his posture."Good morning Angel." He greeted smiling broadly at her beautiful face. His enchanting looks made her stomach swarm with butterfly tickles and she couldn't keep a blush in from the way he stared at her."Good morning." She said biting her lip. " I made breakfast already." Matilda got more excited. She had totally enjoyed his meal the other day, he was indeed an excellent cook. Andre had reached out for the meal which he kept on her side table and placed it between them while they ate together. "I'm so so
A week had gone already, Andre was choked up with work due to the everyday success of his business but he never failed to make time for Matilda. He called every morning and ended the day with hearing her voice. There communication was great and it was the best time of each other's life. Their feelings for each other grew by the day, it was just a completely different world for them now and they were all in for the bliss that came along with it.Matilda sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror feeling satisfied with her make over and new hair do. Today, she was going back to her former place of work not because she wanted to shove her new status to her former boss but to surprise Kim who she had been out of contact with since she lost her job. Kim had checked on her few times but she was frustrated at the time and made little effort to returning her calls and texts and when she did it was rudely short. She had felt bad about it and wanted to make it up to her.She got into her
"What?" Matilda asked surprised by her question. Kim held an expression of regret, so she chuckled nervously retracting her gaze from Matilda.She waved her hand in the air dismissively."I know there's no way you would do such a thing. Forget I said that." Matilda relaxed back feeling awkward from the situation. She could see that Kim was feeling the same way too. Kim held her hand smiling broadly at her in order to ease the tense moment between them."Let's go." She said and Matilda smiled back at her curtly. She had thought of Lena having a discussion with Marcus and what exactly they could possibly have talked about. Her face settled with a frown, what if Lena was responsible for losing her job? She shook the thought off her mind either way she was in a better position. Her thought swayed back to Kim's question, if things were to be looked at factually, she was really selling her body for money. That was what being a sugar baby entailed just that it had girlfriend privilege that
"Matilda?" He called again, still shocked with his eyes studying her entire attire. He gulped hard, he couldn't believe his eyes. She used to be the girl on a summer dress, pretty and cute at the same time. He could still visualize the disgust she held on her face the last time he saw her and of course how she had embarrassed him completely.He was going to see that his promise to himself was fulfiled but after tracing her to her old apartment only to find out that she had left a week before he took a pause and decided to focus on his father's business which he was now running with his little brother Ivan and not to miss any member of his immediate family, he had given his mum a position at the company. It was now a family affair and they ran the business like Mr. Graham had not given his highest asset to Andre.Matilda cleared her throat, adjusting her expression to appear relaxed before speaking to him. "Bruno... Long time." She said attempting to come off as normal even though it
"What happened in room 109?" Kim inquired, leaning slightly against the edge of the sink while Matilda with a troubled look touched up her make up."Just work." She replied curtly."Not just work," she wasn't buying Matilda's words. The topic of room 109 seemed deeper than the two let out and seeing the way he had shut Matilda up with it after he left, it just confirmed her suspicion.Matilda turned to face her, her expression clouded in sadness. The past hunts and she wasn't getting away from it anytime. "Let it go Kim.""Let it go? No. He clearly blackmailed you back there." Her hands were pointed in the door direction as she tried to emphasize her point."He can't blackmail me with it. It was purely work." She stressed while Kim took a laid back position frustrated that Matilda was locking up what was obviously heavy in her heart." I can tell that you are lying." Matilda slammed her hand on the sink slightly, her face expressing that she wanted Kim to stop with her persuasion.
"Sir, your coffee." James passed a cup of coffee to Andre. . He had just come back from a morning meeting about a new tech project that they were working on. It was going to be a big time project that will leap his company financially. "Thank you." He said not looking at James and focusing on his laptop. He paused when he felt James staring at him, usually he was supposed to leave after serving coffee but knowing James too well he had something else to say. "Any problem?" He turned to face James who had unspoken words written all over his face."I just got a notification from CMC news letter and it is a pending information." Andre sighed and relaxed back on his chair with his index finger rubbing his thumb. CMC was a news outlet that reported celebrity news. Andre was a billionaire and son of one, even though he wasn't popularly known facially the media would not fail to spread news about the likes of him to the masses because people enjoyed such news and their curiosity always gener
Kim looked down on the pictures which Matilda had shown her. This scandal was getting more attention than anyone had expected."This isn't that bad." Kim said still studying the pictures carefully. " I mean if I didn't know you personally I wouldn't think it was you."Matilda stood up from the couch from where she was together with Kim, waving her hand in the air in frustration. "It still dosen't take away the fact that everyone hates me and thinks I'm ugly."Kim pushed the phone aside seeing how the whole thing was affecting Matilda. She walked towards her and held her hands. "You know you are beautiful and those pictures were clearly edited. At least no one will know it's you wherever you go."" Except they see me with Andre. Gosh! I am so going to kill Lena." She said forcing the words through her teeth. Kim shook her head, her reaction remained the same since yesterday. Marcus didn't spare breaking the news to Kim once he got the info from Lena, so she called to check up on Matilda
Andre had taken immediate action to evacuate Matilda from her apartment after getting the stalking report from Alice. He shouldn't have let her stay any longer in that apartment and letting her feeling uneasy everytime she stepped out because of the thought that Lena might be following her. He also needed to keep her close during this internet scandal so she didn't feel alone.They had moved her furnitures storing it in Andre's warehouse that looked better than some halls and all her personal belongings were moved to a room in Andre's mansion large enough to contain all of it."Thank you for bringing me here." Matilda said once they were in his mansion. She had taken her time to admire the beauty of this place. "I just want you to feel comfortable." Andre said caressing her cheek. She took his palm and pressed it against her cheek enjoying the warmth it brought. "We should go up to see my room." He said and took her hands without waiting for a response. More than he thought it was
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
