“Miss Sanchez..” the designer’s assistant called with a slight bow and extended Xena’s phone to her once more. “You have another call ma’am.” the young woman said.

“Thank you,” Xena said politely and received the phone. She picked up the call on its last ring while the designers worked on fitting the ropes of her corset from behind.

“Xena.” Tyler’s voice called out from the other end of the line breathlessly. “Why would you pick the call up and hang up? Are you still mad at me?.”

Xena scoffed. “Isn’t it amazing how you only manage to remember me after one whole week mister? What if I was already dead from our little scheme? You deserted me in the wild to suffer and ran home to a loving shelter.” She accused, her voice starting to rise. The designers continued with their work unconcerned with their client’s screaming.

Tyler held a hand up to his forehead at the other end, helpless at Xena’s exaggeration of the whole matter while his other hand remained on his car’s wheel. “I’m sorry duc

    “Hey, Princess.” Josh’s excited voice called from the other side of the line as the call connected. “Just got back to town. Should be with you in not more than an hour.”“Okay. See you there.” Lola said as the phone beeped. She tucked a falling strand of red hair behind her ear and squatted by the side of her desk. Pulling the drawer open, she took out a familiar golden chain with a ring pendant on it and pushed the drawer back inside.~“Hi, a reservation for Lola Coker please,” Lola said and waited as the restaurant’s attendant checked through the reservation list. It didn’t take long before her reservation was confirmed and he looked up at her again.“This way, miss.” The male attendant ushered with a smile, then he led the way to a table for two at the curve of the room. Lola settled into the comfortable seat, She opened her bag one more time to check for the little pouch containing the pendant and sighed on seeing that it was still very much in place.“Bo!.” A voice scared from

    Tyler Harris’ keen eyes were concentrated on Xena’s restless hands as she roamed around his office, talking and lifting random objects from their places while he had no choice but to follow her around.His duty was simple.. to replace all the items she had lifted back to their same position.“Are you even listening to me?.” Xena asked as she replaced the miniature vase she had lifted back on the table and turned to face the man who was no longer contributing to her words.“Huh? Sure I ..am..” Tyler drawled as he shifted the vase to its initial position and turned to face the girl with a smile on his face. “Seriously?.” Xena asked, her eyes squinting as she complained. “You did only half the job yet your mind is somewhere else. Like what could be more important than this right now?.”Tyler sighed and grabbed Xena’s hands before she could reach out for yet another item in his well-arranged office. Then he led the girl to his leather couch and patted on the seat as he settled down beside

    “CEO Sanchez?.” “CEO Sanchez...”Noah woke up his wandering mind and coerced his senses to concentrate on where he was at the moment. Not with Lola Coker or the constant reminder of her words, but in the largest boardroom in his company, where he was heading a very important meeting.“Yes? How many pieces do we have ready?.” He asked absentmindedly.The director of the marketing team who had provided an answer to that particular question barely ten seconds ago and the rest of the directors on board all stared at their absentminded CEO with widened eyes. Only Tyler had a slightly different expression on his face as he shook his head sideways instead at Noah’s unusual pathetic state.“The whole ten sir.” The director repeated and tried to push his luck, taking advantage of the CEO’s absent-mindedness to ease his task, he added. “Should we go ahead with mass production CEO Sanchez? Now that we have...”“If the whole ten pieces are ready, why are none of them here on display?.” Noah snapp

    James watched as Lola hung up the call and raised an eyebrow. “Is Everything alright?.” He asked out of concern for her action.Lola gave him a tight smile, “Yeah. Everything is just fine.” She said and tugged a loose strand of hair behind her ear, hurriedly lifting her drink to sip from the glass.Her eyes wandered to the phone which started to ring again and her heart skipped a beat. Two weeks. That was how long it took for Noah Sanchez to reach out to her. Well it doesn’t matter now, she had no intentions of speaking to him as well.James swallowed hard as he watched her drink. He had asked her out to see if he could take the relationship between them up a notch. “Are you in a relationship Lola?.” James suddenly asked out of the blue.Lola slightly choked on her drink as she did not expect to hear such a question from James. James chuckled and patted her on the back gently. “Did I take you by surprise? I’m sorry.” He apologized as she stopped to cough.Lola shook her head sidewa

    What just happened?Noah stared at Lola with hazy eyes. He burned on the inside with his desire for her, yet the little daredevil had slid off his lap in the heat of the moment, smirking like a fox as she left him hanging and confused to sink back into the passenger’s seat.“What?.” Lola suddenly asked with a frown and a raise of her eyebrow, both arms defensively crossed against her chest. “Oh, you thought a little peck-a-boo would make me change my mind about not wanting to date you?.”Noah: “.....” Peck-a-boo?. Did she just refer to his sincere confession as a childish game? He furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to make sense of the whole situation. Lola tried hard not to laugh at his helpless expression and managed to keep a straight face as she said. “It’s getting late, please take me back home.” ~Three vehicles were lined up behind the car which had halted abruptly by the roadside. The first vehicle was been occupied by some of Noah’s men including John and the chauffeur who w

    Tyler laughed at the way Noah responded. He had never seen Noah Sanchez behave so immaturely but he guessed that love seemed to have different impacts on different people.“Think of it this way. You've frustrated Lola for so long because you had the upper hand, but now the tables have turned and it’s all in her favor. From the time you both met till now, every relationship you’ve built together has been bounded by a contract, purely a business. Now that you’ve accepted your love for her...”“My feelings for her.” Noah corrected interrupting his friend.“There we go again,” Tyler muttered, shaking his head helplessly. “Alright. You may be confused right now and may not realize it but I’m 100% sure that you are falling in love with Lola. Noah?. There’s nothing wrong with falling in love. I know there must be a reason behind your denial of love but just a piece of advice from me, be true to your feelings and open to its possibility.”Noah’s face darkened but he did not respond. Instead, h

    Lola walked out groggily from the bedroom and gave Maria an unwilling look. Her mother had suddenly turned on the music player so early in the morning after breakfast, putting on her favorite hip hop track which the both of them knew by heart on play, and had asked Lola to dance for her.Maria Coker looked at her daughter intently. Lola had changed a lot after she suddenly stopped to work at Fame Hall Entertainment as a dancer. She had found out a little too late as Lola only told her about it after a week had passed. She wondered if it was her fault, for asking Lola to hold back on displaying her talents. Maria heaved a lengthy sigh as she continued to stare at Lola. All she wanted was for Lola to be safe and now, it seemed it was finally okay to let her daughter do whatever she truly wanted.. without having to hide her talent or hold back any longer. “Come here..” Maria urged Lola over, spreading out her arms.Lola raised her eyebrows as she looked at her mother with suspicion. “You

    “Uhn?.”“Steal me away?.”Maria smiled at her daughter before she looked back at Noah and said. “It’s alright dear. She’s all yours and it’s time you learn to call me mom too, or just Maria.” Lola’s eyes widened at her mom’s unbelievable words. “Mom!. What am I? An object?.” How could she sell her daughter off to a man she had only met twice? She felt wronged. “I’m not going anywhere with him,” Lola added with a pout of her lips and made to head back inside the house but Noah grabbed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.Noah’s palm was surprisingly warm and Lola tried to separate her hand from his but he wouldn’t let go. “Mom!.” Lola protested but Maria ignored her and instead gave Noah a wave of her hands. “She’s all yours.”“Thank you, mom.” She heard Noah say and watched as Maria grinned happily, hurriedly walking back into the house and closing the door behind her, leaving her daughter alone with Noah.“Betrayer..” Lola mumbled.Finally having Lola to himself, the man g

But I assure you, I am an excellent host.”“Would you like

    It was late into the night when Noah’s eyes gradually opened.His eyelids continued to flutter until they finally adjusted to the lighting in the room. When he tried to turn on his side, his back hurt, and his entire body felt numb so he lay there for a while, unmoving.~Her bed was warm and Lola felt more comfortable as she snuggled against her huge pillow. She remained there until she heard her phone vibrate and her tired eyes reluctantly opened up.“Ah..h!.” Lola jumped off the bed with a scream as she realized that the pillow she had been hugging was a real person. Who would dare?...Noah, who had been pushed off to the edge of the bed groaned at the slight pain her roughness had brought to his still-recovering body.Now widely awake, Lola was in for a double shock as she stared at the person in hospital clothes who she had pushed away. “Noah!!!.” Lola screamed with joy and a rush of excitement overtook her as she jumped back on the bed to return to her husband’s embrace, comple

    SEVEN WEEKS LATER,Lola clutched the test results in her hands tightly as she rushed into the hospital’s restroom. Finally, alone, she let the hot tears that she had been holding back stream down freely on her face. She was pregnant, and yet there was no way to tell him that he was going to be a father. Her phone started to ring in her purse and Lola inhaled sharply to clear her voice before she picked up the call. It was Maria. “Mom.” She managed to say in a clear voice. “Honey, you should come home today. Let me take care of you while you get some rest...”“I will be fine, Mom. Trust me. You know I’m a lot stronger than you think.” Lola said, even though her supposed strength was a lie, she refused to be swayed from her responsibility. “Besides I have to be there for when...” she insisted. Maria let out a long sigh at the other end of the line, her daughter was stubborn as always and she wondered who it was that the girl had taken after. Richard.“If you say so.” Maria finally sa

    “Step away from her this moment, Nathaniel!.”Andy ordered as he stared at his wife who looked too shaken to utter a word. He could understand what she was going through, after all, he had been present all along to know just how much Nathanial had affected her in the past.“Stay out of this, Father!.” Ash snapped as he ran his hand through his hair frustratedly. “I am not your father, neither is she your mother. We are not related to you in any way whatsoever. Come to your senses, young man!.” Andy clarified angrily.Ash let out a bitter laugh and he withdrew his hands from Ava’s to stand up to his feet. “In the end, it's those two you want right?.” He questioned, referring to Noah and Xena.Their present denial of him was a huge blow to Ash’s ego. He had been prepared to do anything for them. He had been ready to get rid of the children who had replaced him in their life, he had been ready to kill Noah and Xena Sanchez to have his parents back. He had done a lot of bad deeds to come

    Infinity Apartments,The Penthouse.“Boss!.” John bowed as he reached Noah amidst the anxious gazes of Grandfather Sanchez, Lola, and Mr. Henry. The men had indeed discovered something, but it would be safer if only Noah learned of it so he leaned in to whisper to Noah, but he was stopped by Noah who shook his head and ordered. “Speak up!.”John glanced in Lola’s direction with a slight hesitation in his gaze. “Boss, I don't think..”An icy glare from Noah shut him up.“Whatever it is, we need to hear it boy!.” Grandfather Sanchez added and Lola and Mr.Henry nodded in agreement. The old man did not like the way the bodyguard was cautious of Lola’s presence either. She was one of them now and the Sanchez family’s women would not be thought of as weaklings! It was a family matter and they all had to think of a solution, together. John swallowed and decided to speak up regardless of how sensitive the matter might be to the young miss.He looked at Noah directly and reported. “The men m

    “They’ve been gone for over six hours. The flight takes three. So how is it possible that they are not yet there?.”An eerie silence settled over the room as everyone suddenly turned serious. Even Lola, who had just walked out of the bedroom after hearing the old man’s voice in the living area was forced to keep the formalities aside and listen in on the conversation, quietly.“I had called the resort before all else sir, they are indeed yet to arrive.” Mr. Henry explained. He had only noticed that something was off when the guards that had been arranged to convey the elder Sanchez couple from the airport to the resort where they were to stay had called to inform him that thetwo people they were expecting, were nowhere to be seen. The bodyguards had been waiting at the airport for a long time before they finally reached out.Mr. Henry was also the one to confirm the booking of their stay instead of Grandfather Sanchez, so it had also been easy for him to get the information that he ne

    “Lola…” Noah groaned as his wife’s soft hands tortured his member which did not hesitate to betray him by hardening excitedly in the welcome softness of her warm hands. He had not expected that she would touch it…again.“It’s so big,” Lola mumbled and adjusted her hands gently around his throbbing rod which suddenly jerked again in her hands. Even in the dimly lighted room, it was easy to see the veins around his thick manhood, and its cap which glistened with pre-cum only fascinated Lola the more as she rubbed gently on it and went further to move her hands up and down his dick.Noah ran his tongue over his lower lip as he stared down at his little wife completely helpless. Whether drunk and drugged or sober, how is it that she did the same thing? no matter how sloppy her inexperienced hands on his shaft were, did she not know that her simple action could torture him to madness?Noah wrapped his hand around Lola’s and his lips parted slightly as he guided her at the pace that he want

    The lights from down the marina’s pathway cast the most beautiful shadow on Noah’s features, making them look sharper and dangerously more charming. His deep eyes trailed appreciatively down Lola’s body and Lola blushed from his hot gaze that suddenly made her feel so self-conscious... It was almost as if the man in front of her could see the whole of her soul with the whole of his eyes. “Why are you looking at me that way?.” Lola finally asked.It was a little windy and the breeze made a lock of her hair blow toward her face. She made to put the strands back in place but Noah was one step ahead of her, as always.He tucked the red lock of hair behind Lola’s ear and let out a helpless sigh as he draped a coat that Lola did not notice he had been holding around her shoulders to prevent her from catching a cold. “It's even more gorgeous than I imagined it would be on you. But of course, your beauty surpasses it…” He responded in a serious tone and Lola could almost swear that she had

    The elevator dinged and the Sanchez couple walked to the entrance of the suite where Noah opened the door with their keycard. A porter, who was helping them convey the packages they had returned with from their afternoon outing walked inside first and Lola followed after him. She suddenly stopped, surprised to see that Noah still standing outside, and even after the porter had dropped off their bags and left, he made no moves to come in after her.“Aren’t you coming in?.” she asked. Noah shook his head in the negative as he signaled for Lola to go ahead. “I had something delivered for you. It’s in the living room.”“Read the note first.” He added with a teasing smile.Lola raised her brows and let out a nervous chuckle. “Okay? That's it?.”Noah nodded. He could read from the curious look in her eyes that she wished to know more, but divulging his plans by words was not his way of doing things.~“What are you up to, Noah?.” Lola muttered as she made her way into the living room Just
