view moreTHIRD POVShe made her way up the stairs, satisfied with the progress she had made. Every step she took led her closer to fulfilling her plan. She felt so confident that she wanted to call Dan and tell him it was a success even though nothing had been done yet. She had decided to take the stairs in order to practice her lines once more but when she felt she was ready, she made use of the elevator the rest of the way.Finally, only a door kept her away from her plan. So she stood there and rang the doorbell. Seconds later, the door pulled open and standing in front of her was the most handsome man she had ever seen. With droplets of water decorating his body and sliding down slowly and tenaciously. A small towel wrapped around his waist, his groin catching her eyes. His body was to perfection, she would be lying if she said it was not.Then she met with his eyes, those blue orbs that made her want to fall to her knees and succumb to his wishes. She smiled. "Nicholas Walton."Nichola
THIRD POVOver the course of a few days, Cassandra had tried everything she could to put her plan into ignition. She had trailed and tracked Nicholas. Stalked him even! All just to be able to know where and when he was going. She would be lying if she said it was easy. Nicholas was a busy man. A very busy man. Going from one business meeting to another. Going to different places without breaking a sweat. She raised both of her hands to show respect to him and she was looking forward to raising her legs as well. Finally, she was able to get his address. He was at a hotel, a high end hotel. And he was there for a while. Except not long enough. It was either now or never. She recited to herself as she adjusted her red dress. After all, red was perceived to be a color men could not resist. The dress barely hung down to her thighs and it had a big opening around the chest area the hips on both sides. The long sleeves reached down to her wrist and the dress hugged tightly to her curves
REGINA'S POVI wanted to stand still in front of him, but his advancement made me take one-- just one step backwards. His words sent chills down my spine. Not the words in entirety but the tone he chose to portray them. The way his eyes were intently placed on me made me shuffle from one foot to another. But taking a deep breath, I recovered my courage and spoke like his gaze alone weren't pinning me down. "That night, I-- firstly, I am grateful for what you did. You helped me out, it could have south that night if you had not interfered and took action. "All I was trying to say was that I could have handled myself. I could have done... Something to Hans, I would never have laid on his bed, never--""I have a question." He said in a casual tone. I had to tell him to ask his question and he went on. "How could you have stopped yourself from falling?" I arched my brow at him. "What?" "Right here. The moment when I hit you with the door, how could you have saved yourself from fallin
THIRD POVDan sat up straight and turned to look at his mistress. "And are you going to tell me what this seductive, dangerous and also sexy plan is?" His brow shot up with curiosity. Cassandra smiled and sat up as well. "Nicholas Walton might seem like a man who has no interest things of the world or rather I call it, worldly things. But you seem to have forgotten that he is a man and a man with desires." She explained with a dark smile on her face. She continued. "Just as a man has his desires, he also has his secrets. Things he has done that he is not proud of known only to himself and the moon... Or the sun." "So what exactly are you thinking?" "I am going to get myself into his life and find out what his weak spot is. That is his secret or secrets even! When we have this, you can easily control him and make him do whatever you want and he will oblige because the last thing he would want is for his secrets to be exposed. "A weak spot is all we need and we are good to go." She
REGINA'S POVI sat by the stairs, lost in a mist created from my own thoughts. I felt wrapped up in several webs shot out from my very own mind.After what happened earlier, I did not know what to do next. A part of me suggested I should go to Nicholas' office and offer him my sincere apology for Dan's misbehavior and disrespect, but another part of me told me it was not needed.But then another part of me was trying to convince me to wait till we were at home before trying to offer any apologies while yet another part of me advised me not to even go home that night.I had no one I could rely on at that moment. Who could I seek shelter from? A friend? My friends unnecessarily hated me for reasons known to them and the heavens. Maybe pulling an all nighter at work would not hurt. The company's resting area had sofas that worked just as well as beds anyway. A sigh left my mouth, how long had I been sitting by the stairs? It did not bother me though because people rarely took the stair
THIRD POVCassandra arched her back, a moan escaping her mouth. Her breath caught in her throat, her eyes fell close from the feel of ecstasy. His hand snaked from her hips up to her naked breasts, cupping them and fiddling with them before trailing up to her neck. Dan breathed heavily, he felt her claw into his hand as she held on to him.Her head arched backwards, her body shuddered. She moved her hips back and forth frantically as she rode him. She felt like she was at the edge of her mind and he pushed her further the more he thrust into her. His hands found her breasts once more and caresses her hardened nipples before trailing to her back and gripping on to her full ass. She raised her head and looked into his eyes, her lips curved into a sinister smile. A single bead of sweat rolled down her forehead. He pulled her closer to himself and covered her nipples with his mouth, sucking and licking on it, moving from one to another. His moans mixed with hers as she mashed her lip
NICHOLAS' POVI walked away from them, trying my best not to look back. That guy really got on my nerves and I wondered what he would say or worse, do to Regina to get on her nerves. But I could not look back to check, I would not look back. Turning down another hall, I stopped and decided to peak at what was happening. At first, they were just having a conversation but then, security walked over towards them and started dragging dragging him out of the premises. She stood there looking tired of him and his acts. I felt relieved to know that he could not harm her or do anything to her. A sigh left my month.Turning around, I decided to take the stairs up to my office. My head was filled up and my thoughts were clouded. How was I supposed to act like nothing happened between us? Why could I not have held myself back? I ran my hand through my hair and stopped to rest on the railing. Why did I have to complicate things? Every time I saw her, I could not help but to stare at her lips
REGINA'S POVDays had gone by since a conversation sparked between Nicholas and I. It was as if every time he looked at me, he was haunted by the memory of the kiss we shared, the kiss he so much regretted. I could not help but to wonder, would it have hurt less if he had decided to pretend like it never happened? Even if we would not dare to think about it, at least we would still have our conversations. But the house had grown silent ever since that faithful yet unfaithful night. Would I call it cowardice or simple disgust? Perhaps he was intoxicated by the smell of the rain against the grass, blinded by the heavy downpour that soaked us, and so he ended up kissing a frog instead of the princess. Every single day at work, he spoke to me, gave me tasks and ordered me around, but at night, I was as good as invincible, worse than a shadow. Unseen and unnoticed. If only it would all turn out to be a bad nightmare. Take away everything, the kiss if you have to, and return the usual
THIRD POV"Excuse me?" Dan said through gritted teeth, trying his best to tame his anger. But to his surprise, Nicholas went on like someone had not just spoken. This act of ignorance made him even more angry than he was before. He walked over to Nicholas and put a hand in front of him. "Even if you are deaf, at least you are not blind. Would you say you did not see someone standing here when you walked by?" His brow arched angrily. Meanwhile, Nicholas arched a lazy brow, not even shifting his expression from what it was. Calm and unhinged. He stared at Dan with a plain expression, his icy blue eyes alone spelling out the words "I don't care" and throwing it right at Dan's face.Dan scoffed a laugh, his dimples creaking in, his anger rose even higher. He poked the side of his cheek with his tongue and ran his fingers through his hair. "What is the meaning of this? Are you going to pretend to be mute as well?"Nicholas gave a lazy roll of his eyes, not taking his hands out of the dep
Regina's POV"There's a problem, it's still not balanced!" Dawn's scream was deafening. I shifted back a bit from her loud wails. I needed to concentrate... This was fucking not my day. My whole body was shaking as fear crept through me, more like anxiety. Today was Dan's birthday and he was throwing a party that evening...basically in about two hour's time. I needed to get him the perfect present, then pick up the cake for his party and also manage to get dressed in less than two hours! And here I was, still at work sorting out the variance issue at hand. Everyone stared at me waiting for me to work some magic, even though clearly, I was just a simple finance assistant just like them."Oh my goodness, we're dead! We're gonna die!--" Slap! It was meant to be a small pat on her cheeks to keep her quiet but it ended up becoming a loud slap. I couldn't concentrate with her screaming and crying! "I'm so sorry, Dawn, but please stay with me here!. Are you with me?" I said to her calml...
