2024-10-29 19:42:56"Are you sure this is okay?" Faith looked around nervously. "Isn't it against the policy to go on dates with people you work with?" she asked.
"I won't tell if you don't," Mark smirked.
They were at a restaurant Mark chose for their date. It was a bit fancier than she was used to. Faith smoothed out a wrinkle of her skirt and sat up straight. It wasn't like she saw Mark for the first time, so why did she feel so nervous?
She kept picturing Anthony's disappointed face when she ended things with him. He looked almost angry. She should stop thinking about him and focus on Mark.
They spent the evening chatting about work and getting to know each other. Faith never went on an actual date, so this felt nice. Mark was a nice guy. If only she

"I need hundred dollars."Faith looked up from her book and squinted her eyes. "I already gave you an allowance for this month. What happened to it?""It wasn't enough. I ran out," Mary shrugged."Ran out? What have you been doing with the money?" Faith inquired."What's with the third degree? Can you give me the money, or not?" The annoyance was apparent in Mary's voice.Faith looked at Mary, and the sadness overwhelmed her. Mary wasn't always like this. What did she do wrong that her once sweet little sister was now acting like a brat? And what exactly was she planning to do with the money?"You know I can't afford to give that mu

"You need fifty thousand dollars?"Anthony stared at Faith with surprise. He knew Faith always had money problems, but fifty thousand dollars was a bit much."Y...yes. This is kind of an emergency, and I'm willing to sleep with you again if that's what you want. But I really need your help," Faith said quietly. She didn't know how she managed to stay calm this whole time. She felt humiliated begging her boss for money and offering herself to him after boldly rejecting his advances."Faith, I need to know where the money is going before I just hand you a check," Anthony said firmly. He had a sneaky suspicion that this had to do with what Richie said about her sister.He got up from his chair and walked towards her. Then sat on the chair in front of her so they would be more up close and personal."My sister is in trouble again. She got involved with some dangerous men, and now I owe them fifty thousand dollars. Please, Anthony, I need the money. I'l

Faith looked around the bridal store. She felt like this was all a dream. Just the other day, she thought she would get murdered as those guys were holding her and Mary down, and today, she was shopping for a wedding dress. She had no idea what kind of emotion she was supposed to feel at this moment.Earlier that day, Anthony called her into his office. She walked in feeling nervous. It was way past the 48 hours she was given by Mike, but he hadn't come by and threatened her or called her. Anthony must've paid off Mary's debt as he promised. A surge of relief and gratitude washed over her."I took care of everything as I promised. I gave him the money. He will never bother you or Mary ever again," Anthony said. He didn't believe it entirely and decided to hire someone to keep an eye on Mike's gang, but he wanted Faith to stop worrying."Thank you. Thank you so much, Anthony. You have no idea how grateful I am to you!" Faith gushed. "I could never repay you for t

"Stop it!" Faith scolded and pried herself off of him. "I...I don't want this," she said quietly.Anthony's eyes were dark. "Alright. I'll respect your wishes," he said then went silent.Faith fidgeted uncomfortably. She didn't want to hurt his feelings, but at the same time, she didn't want him to play with her body anytime he wanted."I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." Faith proceeded to apologize."Never apologize to me for saying no," Anthony declared before she could finish her sentence. "I'd never force you to do it with me." He grazed her chin with his thumb, making her blush.They arrived at the restaurant shortly after."Mr. DeM

Anthony struggled to get Faith inside the house as she could hardly walk. He ended up throwing her over his shoulder and carrying her inside."I feel sick," Faith murmured as soon as he reached his room and put her down on the bed."Don't you dare throw up on me, woman," Anthony said. He started to panic as her face twisted. She looked like she was about ready to barf all over him."Hold on to me," he said and stood her up."Where are we going?" she managed to ask."To the bathroom," Anthony said.Luckily, she didn't throw up. "I'm fine. We can get to screwing," Faith declared and pressed against him."There will be no 'screwing.' It's time for you to sleep," Anthony chuckled."You know you want me. You said so," Faith took her dress off and tossed it aside. She pushed him so he'd be forced to sit on the bed.Anthony tried to bury all his desires underneath as he looked at the woman with a body of a goddess

Her skin tingled where he touched her. Faith tried to say no out of stubbornness, but no words came out of her mouth. Who was she kidding? She didn't want him to stop.Faith blushed as he pulled her shirt over her head to take it off and tossed it aside. He started to kiss all over her body. The touch of his lips sent a shock wave through her entire body. He took off her underwear and touched the wetness between her legs. Soft moans escaped from her throat as he stroked her clit.He pried her legs open and pressed his mouth on her heated core. Faith couldn't stop moaning as he licked her furiously as if he wanted to devour her. "Anthony...I can't..." she croaked out. She couldn't finish her sentence as she herself didn't know what she wanted to say. She can't think straight as she was on the verge of climax.She gripped a fist full of his hair and screamed his name as she came. He looked up and smiled, satisfied with the effect he had on her. Her body shuddered

Anthony didn't hear Diana calling his name for several moments as he was lost in his thoughts."Sir, are you okay?" Diana asked for the fifth time. Anthony finally looked up."Sorry, what is it?" he asked."I need your signature to approve this statement. Would you mind?" Diana slid a blue folder towards him."Yeah, sure," he said distractedly but opened the file to sign it quickly."Is everything okay?" Diana asked."How long have you known Faith?" he asked.Huh? Why was Anthony asking about Faith? Diana wondered. Did she do something wrong in her absence? Mess something up?"Since she started working here, boss," Diana chuckled."And you guys talk? Are you two friends?" Anthony inquired."We are not best friends or anything, but we do talk from time to time. She had always been very reserved and quiet. I don't think she has very many friends," Diana said. Faith was also highly insecure about herself, but Diana d

"What the fuck is going on here?" Anthony glared at the man who clearly did something to Faith. Faith stood there, frozen. She didn't know what to do or what to say. She felt weak and powerless."I was just leaving. You must be her Fiancé," Marcus smirked. "I'm Marcus.""Care to explain what's happening here, Marcus?" Anthony asked. His tone was relatively civil in spite of his anger.Marcus didn't answer his question. "I'm not trying to steal your fiancée, don't worry," he said, instead."Oh, I am not worried. But if you touched Faith, I promise you it won't end well for you," Anthony's voice grated harshly."Take it easy, man. Maybe you should let her explain. I'm leaving," Marcus said and walked out of the house. Faith heard the engine start then his car drove away."Anthony...I..." Faith choked back tears.Anthony pulled her into an embrace and smoothed down her messy hair. Faith buried her face in his chest. The mix

Phil squeezed Jodie's hand reassuringly as they walked into the adoption agency, both of their hearts beating fast with anticipation.The receptionist smiled at them. "Ah, you must be Lisa's two o' clock. Please have a seat."Jodie and Phil sat down, their eyes scanning the room, taking in the various brochure and adoption pamphlets.After a few minutes, a woman appeared from a door at the back of the room "Mr. and Mrs. DeMarco? Please follow me. I'm your adoption specialist." She led them into a private room.Jodie and Phil were nervous, but they answered all her questions as honestly as possible, telling Lisa about their backgrounds, jobs, and home life. Lisa listened carefully, taking notes as they spoke."It sounds like you two would make excellent parents," she said. "I think we can find a child who would be a great fit for your family.""Really?" Jodie's eyes lit up."Yes, there's an orphanage I'd like you both to visit. I'm sure they'd be thrilled to have you there," Lisa said.

Two years later,Phil nearly groaned as Jodie presented yet another ridiculous home decor in front of him."What the heck is this?"He demanded.Jodie smiled proudly. "It's a wall hanging made entirely out of recycled bottle caps! Isn't it amazing?"Phil rolled his eyes. "It's a bunch of garbage glued together. How is that amazing?"Jodie's pouted. "You just don't understand art."Phil laughed. "Oh really? Is that what it is?"Jodie narrowed her eyes, sensing Phil's sarcasm. "Yes, it is. And it's also environmentally friendly. I think it's a great addition to our home."Phil shook his head. "I'm all for being eco-friendly, but that doesn't mean we have to sacrifice style and taste.""Stop being so grouchy all the time," Jodie snapped."I'm not grouchy.""Yes, you are!" Jodie argued."No, I'm not." Phil shook his head."Yes, you are."Phil sighed. He could never win an argument against Jodie. "Fine, maybe I am a little grouchy. But can you blame me when you keep bringing home these...u

"OH MY GOD!" Jodie screamed as soon as Phil carried her inside his loft."What?" Phil scowled and put her down."This is the ugliest place I've ever seen! No wonder you wanted to hire me as your interior decorator."Phil groaned. "Jodie, I was joking when I said that and this place isn't the bad.""Oh no? Then why does it look like a dungeon?" Jodie gestured to the dark walls and minimal furniture. "And what is with that couch?""It's comfortable," Phil defended."Comfortable? It looks like a block of ice!" Jodie shook her head. "We need to start from scratch. New paint, new furniture, new everything."Phil sighed. "Fine, but we are not making the place look like a unicorn threw up on it."Jodie grinned. "I was joking about that too. Trust me, Phil. I'll make this place look like a palace." "Alright, my queen. You can do all that later. Now can we get on with our wedding night?" He smirked.Jodie rolled her eyes playfully. "Patience, my king. Let me just light some candles and put on

Phil and Jodie stood at the altar, holding hands as they exchanged vows."I, Phil, take you, Jodie, to be my lawfully wedded wife," Phil said, looking deeply into Jodie's eyes. "I promise to love, cherish, and support you in all you do. I promise to be there for you in good times and in bad, and to always be your partner and best friend."Jodie's eyes filled with tears as she repeated the same words back to him. They exchanged rings and sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by their family and friends.After the ceremony, they walked hand in hand to the reception, where a live band was playing and everyone was dancing and having a good time. Jodie's vision for the décor had come to life, with elegant white and gold accents throughout the room.As they sat down for dinner, Jodie leaned over to Phil and whispered, "I can't believe we're actually married.""I know," Phil said, beaming at her.

"So, what did Phil say?" Faith asked Jodie later that day. "He said he would be my sugar daddy," Jodie said in a daze. Faith's eyes turned wide, but then she laughed. "What? I meant, what did he say about your illness?" Jodie blushed. "Oh, right. He was really sweet and understanding about it. He said he wanted to be there for me and that we'll face it together if it came to that. It was actually really nice to hear," Jodie said, a small smile appearing on her face. Faith smiled back. "I'm glad he's being supportive. You deserve someone who will be there for you, no matter what." Jodie nodded. "Yeah, I know. And I'm starting to think that maybe Phil could be that person." Faith raised an eyebrow. "Really? You're considering him as a serious option?" Jodie shrugged. "I don't know. It's just...he always pushed me away before but..." "But now he's showing a different side of himself," Faith finished for her. "I get it. Just be careful, okay? Don't let yourself get too swept up at

Phil's heart jumped when he saw it was Jodie calling him. Fucking finally."What's going on, Jodie? Why are you avoiding me?" He demanded."I'm not!" Jodie whined."Yes, you are."Jodie sighed. "Alright, yes. But I have a good reason for it.""And what would that be?"He could hear her taking a deep breath as if to brace herself."Phil...I'm sick," she said.Phil's heart dropped as he heard Jodie's words. "What do you mean, sick? What's wrong?" he asked, his voice filled with concern."I went for a check-up the other day, and they found a small tumor in my brain," Jodie said, her voice trembling.Phil was stunned. He didn't know what to say. "I...I don't even know what to say, Jodie. I'm so sorry," he finally managed to get out.Jodie sniffled. "It's okay, Phil. I just wanted you to know. I don't want to hold back anything from you, especially if we're going to be together. I don't want to waste any time pretending things are okay when they're not. I just needed some time to process e

Phil paced back and forth in his room the next day."Lisa!" he yelled."Yes, sir?" Lisa poked her head in."Did you send the flowers?" he growled."Yes, sir, and they sent me a confirmation email saying that the flowers were received.""I see," Phil said grimly. Jodie hadn't said anything about it. Not even a simple text saying thank you.

She had to tell Faith, so she decided to book a flight to visit her again.Jodie spent the next few days making arrangements for her trip to see Faith.

Phil surveyed his loft carefully.He had hired an interior decorator to decorate the entire place because he didn't have the time or desire to do it himself.The decorator had chosen a modern, minimalist style with sleek furniture and clean lines. Everything looked nice and expensive. But for the first time since he moved in here, Phil realized it didn't feel like home at all.It didn't have the same feeling as Anthony's house. Anthony's house had the kind of warmth Phil had never felt in his own home, and now he knew why. It was because of Faith. Anthony had Faith, and Phil had no one.Phil had been so focused on his career that he had neglected his personal life. He had always thought that material possessions would bring him happiness. But they never did. And when he saw how happy Anthony was with Mayra, he decided to steal her from him, thinking she'd make him feel loved. And when that fell apart, he gave up on love altogether.But now, standing in his loft, he realized that love
