TEASING The ride back home was quiet and filled with tension, I still had my legs shaking trying to control myself before I did terrible things to her in the car, so I controlled myself. I could feel her eyes on me but I didn't utter a single word. When the limo parked in front of the house I came out and opened the door for her and she gave me a smile thanking me but I didn't return the smile, I was pissed. We walked together into the house and I quietly walked to my room. She was watching me. She looked like she was about to say something before she shook her head and walked to her room, what did she want to say? There was nothing she could say that would save her from my wrath. As I entered my room I removed the suit I was wearing and then I went into the bathroom to have a shower. After the shower I dried my body and then I wore a robe. It was time for us to talk about her misbehavior tonight, maybe not talk but it would be about her behavior. I left my room and walked to he
SWEET MEMORIES I was too tired to get out of bed, not even when Cole was kissing my belly button. I just moaned going back to sleep. One thing about him was that he was a very jealous man and whenever he wanted to remind me of who I belonged to, well he did so with my body and I love every bit of it. When I woke up Cole wasn't beside me so I went into the bathroom to have a shower before I dressed and walked downstairs. Cole was cooking so I just leaned on the wall watching him. He was just cooking yet he looked so sexy. Why did something as simple as making an omelet make his muscles jump like he was doing some hard work? Speaking of hard work, he did some hard work with my body last night. I couldn't help but bite my lips at the memory. " You seem to be thinking of something, I wonder what it is," He said knowingly, and I couldn't help but blush. " I don't know what you're talking about," I said feigning innocence. " Yeah, maybe I could help trigger your memory" He said as h
THE ITALIAN MANI was currently lying on the bed after a very adventurous day, there was no doubt that Switzerland was a beautiful country. There were a lot of places to go, but along the way of our tour, I got tired, especially from avoiding the Italian guy, so I asked Cole if we could return home and he didn't have a problem with it.I had some work to do but I decided that I needed to rest for some time before starting, I had emails to respond to and some situations concerning the company that needed the CEO's attention but they needed to go through me to get to him.My room door came open as Cole walked in holding a cup of hot chocolate and having on his million-dollar smile." Here, this would help calm you down," He said as he handed me the cup and then sat beside me." Thank you," " No problem, do you need a massage?" He asked and I quickly turned to him, almost pouring the cup of hot chocolate I was holding. The last time he gave me a massage we both knew what went down." I,
WRONG SIGNAL" What did you say to him?" Cole asked as he turned to me." I didn't say anything to him, he was on about you not being a mean boss and would let me go for lunch with him," I said, biting my lips and looking like a kid who was being scolded." You're not going anywhere with him, no way," Cole said with finality in his voice." Let's focus, we're here for work, we can talk later," I said turning back to the speaker." There's nothing to talk about, you're not going anywhere with him, that's final," I heard Cole whisper but I didn't turn. When the meeting was over I stood up from my seat following Cole as we both walked out of the room.We were just about to walk out of the building when I heard the familiar voice of the Italian man calling me." Miss Anna," He said as he walked to Cole and me then walked with us out of the hotel." Did you forget we have a date?" He asked me with a smile and Cole's jaw ticked." Uhm Mr Rodriguez, I'm sorry but I came here for work and I
PANICKED " I'm not in the country right now but I'll find a way, I'll get on the next flight, anything, please take care of her for me, I'm coming, please," I said as tears uncontrollably ran from my eyes. I was panicking. " I will, please stop crying she's going to be fine," The voice over the phone said and I nodded, unable to speak, not like he could see me. " Okay," I whispered before ending the call, then I tried to wipe my tears because they wouldn't stop falling. I quickly rushed back to where Cole and his business partner were seated. Cole's face instantly filled with worry and he quickly rose from his chair as soon as I reached him. " You were crying Anna, what happened?" He asked. " I'll have to leave you guys, I have to be on the next flight to Texas, my best friend got into an accident, you can go on with your meeting, I'll have to go back, I have to make sure she's okay, I have…" Cole stopped me as his hand held mine to calm my shaking hands. " Hey, hey, she's going
A BEST FRIEND'S LOVE The sight before me was heart-wrenching and I had to control myself before I started crying. Cole told me to be strong for both of us and crying wasn't going to help. Bella had her leg bandaged and hanging up, she had a cervical collar around her neck and there was a tube connected to her mouth. I could see the bruise on her face. She was asleep and quiet, my Bella who is always happy and talking was asleep and I didn't know when she'd wake up. " Bells," I whispered as I went to sit beside her on the bed. " I'm here now, everything is going to be alright, you're going to wake up," I said as I placed my hand on her face, the face I've seen smile all the time, we've both had accidents but not like this, looking at her like this scares me. " She'll be fine," Cole said as he came to stand beside me, placing his hands on me to comfort me. " I think you should go home, and get some rest, you don't need to stay here with me," I told him as I placed my hand on his h
BUSTED " You know I'm not sick that you're pampering me like this," I said to Cole who was seated beside me as he tried to feed me. For the past two days, he has been bringing food specially cooked by him and he made sure I finished everything. " You're not but you've been refusing to eat and I've said it several times, the last thing I want is for you to fall sick or lose weight," He said as he brought another spoonful of chicken soup and I didn't have any choice but to take it. A knock suddenly came on the door and Cole groaned and I chuckled because now that someone else would be in the room, he would have to act like my boss and not my boyfriend, a part he didn't like playing at all. Cole stood up as he went to open the door and Luke stepped in. " Hey Luke," I greeted him with a smile as he walked towards me and then he sat on the couch beside me. " Is there an improvement?" He asked and I shook my head. Bella hasn't moved even a finger and it was scaring me. " It's okay, s
THE STRANGE FEELING" Mom, what are you talking about?" I asked her as I turned to Bella so she doesn't see my face, my mom always had, should I say a superpower, because she'd look at your face and already know what you're thinking. It was scary sometimes." I'm your mother and you seem to forget I'm a very observant woman, I saw the way that man looked at you, and from what you told me, your company is a very renowned company, so which of the boss is he?" " He's my boss, like the CEO of our company," " Now can you tell me what a very busy CEO was doing in this room? When he could send someone in his stead I know he doesn't do this for all employees, so care to explain," " I'm his secretary mom, so if I don't come to work everyone would surely know and I'm closest to him than the other staff"" Let's say I believe you, explain why he was looking at you the way he did, I know when a man likes a woman, don't fool me, Anna, I know you're hiding something," Now I was trapped." I..I.."
JUSTICE “ Tag, you're it," Andrew or should I say Sammy hit his father as he ran away and Cole chased after him trying to tap him.I couldn't help but laugh at his little laugh, it was filled with so much joy. Cole ran to me and I dodged taking the route my son took and he laughed, turning back to see if his father was close.“ Got you,” Cole said as he caught Andrew." No, no,” Andrew laughed as he tried to get away from his father." Mummy to the rescue, tag, you're it,” I said as I touched Cole, making him our target as Andrew and I started running after him.“ I'll get you daddy, mummy go that way,” Andrew said as we both blocked Cole and tackled him and he fell to the ground laughing." Okay you both win,” he said as we both fell to the ground on each side of him laughing." Sam baby,” Cole suddenly called as Andrew turned him smiling." Yes Daddy,” he said," How would you feel about Anna being your mom?” he asked," Cole,” I warned, I don't know if this was the right time. I
REUNION “ I really don't know how to feel about this, should I say I'm jealous?" Liam said as he held my hand and I sighed." I'm sorry Liam, I'm…"“ Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about, you told me right from time, I was just hopeful. I can't stop you from being happy. It pains me that I'm not the one you chose but if you're happy, I'm happy, you finally get the family you've wanted. If I'm not happy for you, what type of a person would that make me? I wish that you never get to cry again, you now know your son, you're with the father of your child who you love. As much as I hate to say this, the guy is crazy about you and I'm sure he'll protect you," he said and I couldn't help but smile. “ You're the best person I've met Liam, you're so understanding and caring, I promise you that you'll find a woman who deserves your love, believe me," I said and he nodded as he took my hand and dropped a kiss on it." Thank you Anna, this means a lot,” he said and I smiled." I'll return to
CONFESSIONS AND FORGIVENESS As soon as I heard that she was awake I practically ran out of the house as I got into the car.I drove out of the house, heading straight to the hospital as I clenched my hands on the steering wheel, impatience filling me.I got to the hospital as I parked the car and ran into the building. I stopped at her room door trying to compose myself before I knocked.I quietly opened the door and walked in as everyone turned to me but the only eyes that caught my attention were her beautiful eyes.Those brown eyes that have haunted me for years.“ Hey," I greeted as the Liam guy bent to her and kissed her cheeks before walking out of the room, her assistant following.“ I'm glad you're awake," I said, not knowing what else to say. " Thank you for saving me,” she said. She didn't have to thank me for anything, I'd do anything for her." Why did you do it?" She suddenly asked and I looked at her in confusion.“ Anna, I'd do it all over again, I can't see you in tr
THE LIFEBLOOD OF SACRIFICE “ We had to flush her blood to take off the poison because it was just too much and taking off blood meant we had to give her more blood but the problem now is we're out of blood that matches hers,”“ You can take mine!" The three of us said at the same time.“ As long as it matches, it would be to her advantage if we can get a donation from all three of you," the doctor said. " What are we waiting for? Let's go,” her assistant said in impatience as she followed the doctor first while I just leaned on the wall waiting." You can't blame me for something I didn't know. You can't imagine how I feel right now knowing that my son is the son the woman I love has been looking for for over four years, you don't know what I've been through so you don't have the right to judge me. You don't know what I had to endure for the past four years. I'm not telling you this for you to like me, I'm letting you know that you have to know someone's story before you conclude wh
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH I can't die, not when I have a chance of seeing my son. Not now.She stood up with the syringe in her hand as she flicked the tip and looked at me with a sinister smile.“ I've been waiting for this part, she's going to know how it feels like to have needles constantly being pierced into you," Derick said, looking at me with excitement.“ You see this little needle, I'm going to inject it into you nice and slow and you're going to die nice and slow, nobody will know it's me, and Cole will be mine and mine alone and as for your son, he's going to call me mom for the rest of his life," she said as she started walking towards me and I shook my head, struggling to be free.“ If I were you, I'd keep calm or this might cut a vein and you'll just bleed to death, either way it works for me,” she said as she bent to my neck and I tried to move back but I couldn't. “ Enjoy," she whispered before she stabbed the needle into my neck and I felt the substance swim inside my
SHADOWS OF THE PAST “ Sam! Sam!" I called as I ran into the house like a man whose house had been set on fire.“ Sam!” I called as I ran upstairs to his room but he wasn't inside." Martha! Martha! Where's Sam?” I asked his nanny and she looked at me in confusion." He's in the garden, his grandpa came to see him,” I didn't wait a second, I was already running towards the garden and I couldn't help but breathe in relief when I heard his laughter.He was alright. But anger immediately boiled in my body when I remembered the reason why all this happened in the first place was here in my house." Sam!” I called as I ran to my son and hugged him," You're okay, you're doing okay, let's go,” I said as I took his hand and he turned to look at his grandfather." Dad, I want to play with Grandpa a little," he said as I carried him.“ Maybe some other time," I said and without sparing my dad a glance I walked into the house." Take care of him, make sure nobody takes him, if anything happens
SECRETS UNCOVERED Although I couldn't see his face, I couldn't mistake the voice. How could he have a hand in this? I thought…I thought. I was just so fucking confused.“ I thought you told me you changed? Then why are you here?" I asked and he laughed, a crazed type of laughter, like someone who has lost it.“ You thought I changed, you're so funny Anna, after what you did to me?” he said as he moved closer to me and I caught a little glimpse of his face, despite the darkness.“ You ruined my life," he said, “ I did no such thing," I said as I struggled on the chair. " Really, you did nothing, are you fucking forgetting the fact that I was sent to a mental asylum because of you?” he asked in a dangerous voice that sent shivers down my spine." You brought it upon yourself, that was the right place for you because you were fucking crazy," I said and he laughed. " I'm going to show you crazy,” he said as he started walking towards me." Stay where you are Derick don't fucking come
THE TRUTH “ What did you just say?" I asked but he pointed at the file I was holding.“ Spent a lot of money to get that because she fucking paid a lot to have their mouth shut and have them do what she wants. I don't know why Anna would mix with people like this," I pretended not to hear those words as I slowly opened the file.My heart was pounding in my chest afraid of the truth I'd find in there.I brought out the medical report which has Mirabel's name and every single record about her as I started going through them.My breath caught in my throat when I reached where it said she couldn't have a child because of her damaged womb. Then how come Sammy?But she was pregnant, I saw her baby bump, she did all the things pregnant women did. Was that…was that all an act?No, no, it can't be, could it.I was fucking confused.And Anna.“ Now you know, right? So where's she?” he asked me and I came back to my senses.If he was looking for Anna and she wasn't with me with nor have he seen
FIST TALK “ I thought you were happily married, why do you look so scared?" I asked her as calmly as I could and she blinked before she sat down in front of me. That's so rude she didn't even ask for my permission.“ Listen up you bitch, Cole and I have been happily married for four years and we have a son, he loves me, do you hear that? He loves our son and not even a stupid slut like you can break our family." she said and I looked at her with a raised brow. “ If he's so in love with you you don't need to warn me, besides I'm not interested in your man, stop being dramatic and get out of my sight, I came here to eat not listen to your pathetic voice," I said and she scoffed as she folded her hands glaring at me. “ If you say so, if I see you anywhere near Cole or my child, you'll regret knowing me, I bet you," she said before she stood up and left.Once a bitch, always a bitch.“ I'm sorry ma'am, it took a little time to get ready," the waitress said as she dropped my food. It wa
