2024-10-29 19:42:56Anthony 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

And just like that, she was married.Faith got ready to move in with Anthony alongside Mary and put her house on sale. Mary was excited to move to a bigger place, but Faith couldn't share the excitement. She didn't want to get married so abruptly, especially since Jody was missing.Her middle sister Jody was completely out of touch. Faith tried to reach out to her, but there was no news. She knew Jody was safe. She just simply didn't want anything to do with them. She didn't even bother to show up for their father's funeral. Faith couldn't blame her.Jody didn't have the strength to bear the things she had to go through alongside Faith. Things Mary never had to go through. That's why she left and vowed never to come back. And she always blamed Faith for not protecting her better. Faith didn't know what was happening to Jodie, but she won't believe Faith no matter how much she tried to explain.Anthony told his driver the address after he finished picking

Faith convinced Anthony to let her stay in the company. She liked working, and the thought of staying home and not doing anything made her feel useless. She wanted to keep earning money whether she needed it or not. Anthony was reluctant at first but agreed eventually. He didn't want to make her feel like he was trying to control her.There was going to be a charity ball where Faith was invited to. She hadn't told anyone about her and Anthony's marriage, so it was nerve-wracking to walk around with that secret. She avoided talking to most of her coworkers, especially Mark, who occasionally tried to ask her out again."Of course you are going," Anthony said after seeing her hesitation."But Anthony, it's uncomfortable for me to talk to everyone! I feel like I am deceiving them," Faith winced."So? You don't owe them anything. Just act normal like you always do. I am your boss, and you are my employee. What's there to be uncomfortable about?" Anthony raised

Anthony stood there and watched Mark approaching Faith. Jealousy burned through his brain, and he could hardly contain himself, but he couldn't have an outburst in the middle of a company event. He was the owner of the company, and it wouldn't look good for his reputation. Besides, Mark hadn't done anything other than being flirtatious. But that was enough to enrage Anthony. Mark doesn't get to look at Faith that way. She was his, whether she admitted it or not. It seems like it was time to stop playing this pretend game and claim what's his. Anthony stormed toward them and interrupted their conversation. Mark was already on guard as he saw the big boss approaching. At least he knew his place, Anthony thought. "Mr. DeMarco, good evening," Mark let out a nervous laugh. "Mr. Paterson," Anthony cleared his throat. "I see you have been keeping my wife company. That's nice of you," he said. Faith looked like the whole world came crashing on her. He

Faith refused to speak or look at Anthony the next day. Anthony took her home right after, just as Faith told him. She hopped in the shower and tried to wash off the humiliation Anthony made her feel. He knew there was no point in asking for her forgiveness yet as she was too angry. He messed things up again."What's with you two?" Mary asked in the morning after watching them for several minutes. They were not looking at each other or talking."Nothing. Finish your breakfast and get ready for school," Faith said curtly.Mary didn't say anything else. She knew better than to get involved.Faith didn't speak to him during the car ride to work. She almost told him not to worry about taking her to work, and she'd instead find her own ride. But she stopped since Anthony never listened to her anyway."Faith, I apologize for my behavior last night. I was out of line," Anthony broke the silence and reached for her hand, but she snatched it away."I

Anthony looked at Faith's pale face as she absent-mindedly painted on her canvas. His heart clenched. He didn't mean to make her feel like she was a prisoner at his house. He intended to make her happy. He cleared his throat to get her attention. Faith looked up and set her brush down but didn't say anything. She hasn't been speaking to him properly, and it drove Anthony crazy. "I just...I wanted to see if you'd go to dinner with me tonight," Anthony asked. "Sure, whatever you say," Faith replied absent-mindedly. Anthony moved closer and put his hand on her back. "How long will you stay mad at me?" he leaned down and whispered into her neck. "I'm not mad at you," Faith said. She softly moaned as he traced the waistband of her jeans and trailed his fingers up to her stomach. "Liar. You hate me, and I can't stand it," he hugged her from behind and kissed her neck. Faith trembled but didn't push him off. "I don't hate you," she wh

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. "I'm already regretting my decision," he joked.Jodie playfully punched his arm. "Too late n

"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. Was she really going to make him work this hard?Phil paced back and forth in his room the next day."Lisa!" he yelled."Yes, sir?"

Jodie knew she couldn't keep her cancer a secret. 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.

She was still trying to come to terms with the news herself and didn't want to burden anyone else with it.Finally, the day of her flight arrived, and Jodie made her way to the airport.

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
