Andrea felt when the warmth enveloping her disappears but she was too tired to stand up and now she couldn’t stop thinking all about it.“Hey! Earth to Andy!” Daisy half-screamed, snapping her fingers in Andrea’s face to break her from her trance.“Um yeah…sorry, what were you saying?” Andrea asked absentmindedly while bringing her palm over her face to wake her tired eyes.“You look like a walking zombie right now, did you not get any sleep? I thought we’d be celebrating since I just got back but you don’t look so glad” Daisy pouted as she took a seat opposite Andrea who seems rather distracted though she had multiple files in front of her.“Sorry…there’s just so much on my mind right now, I’m glad you got back safely” Andrea forced a smile before Daisy narrowed her eyes at her in suspicion.“I still don’t know how you manage to get the president of Boris enterprise to help us, but you’ve gotta check the company’s platform, it’s literally what everyone is talking about.” Daisy beamed
“What are you doing here?” Andrea demanded the moment Oliver walked right into her office. Seeing that face again gave her mixed feelings. That same eyes that had gazed at her so warmly, as he touched and caressed her so gently. ‘Seriously, get your shit together, this man in front of you…isn’t Rio’ but what’s with that look Oliver was giving him, he almost looked shy before he cleared his throat.“You don’t have to be so cold y’know, I’m here to offer you a deal” Oliver paused glancing at Daisy who narrowed his face in confusion. Andrea thinking he wanted Daisy gone, instantly communicated with her with a look. Daisy understanding what she meant turned after a polite nod to Oliver and trod out cautiously.“Who was that? I felt like I’ve seen her somewhere” Oliver asked with a curious glint in his eyes.“That’s the head designer of Vibrant brand, she’s also a friend of mine, got a problem?” Andrea asked curtly as she rose in her multicoloured designer suit and skirt before sashaying
“It’s been four days since Rio last surfaced, or that I’ve felt him surface, I don’t know why but he’s been ridiculously quiet. Normally I’d wake up next to that girl but I’ve been waking up in my bed, I don’t get it” Oliver explained to Ray as he sat in his consultation chair.“Really? That doesn’t seem like something he’ll do without cause, will you like me to talk to him?” Ray asked after he finished scribbling down a couple of things.“Well, if you promise me you won’t betray me like you did the last time” Oliver insisted and Ray nodded.“I promise” Ray assured. “You still haven’t been able to face thunder and lightning have you?” Ray asked and Oliver nodded. Any time it thunders, his body grows stiff and he starts to shake and hyperventilate, and he would always hear the sounds of cars crashing but before he could start envisioning it, Rio would take over.“Rather than hypnosis, what about I stimulate him into protecting you again-“You always call that protecting, it’s weird, do
“That’s like the third time you’re sighing since I walked into your office” Daisy said to Andrea after letting out another sigh as he sign up the newly drafted ed budget for their upcoming show.“Sorry…you’re late today, that’s unlike you” Andrea pointed out as she closed the file and returned it to Daisy.“Oh, about that…my husband forget his lunch again and I had to take it to him, it made me think he was doing it on purpose” Daisy replied and Andrea chuckled.“Well, maybe he’s using that as an excuse to see you, I’m glad he still loves you a lot, well we’ve only been married for 3years after all” Daisy replied with a warm shy smile that had Andrea chuckling.“Well…I know he’ll still love you no matter how many years you spend together” Andrea assured but Daisy’s cheeks only turned more red to the comments.“Andrea…I’ve been so scared to ask you this but….there’s no way you still love that trash right?” Andrea was taken aback by the blunted question she spat with furry eyes and a co
Andrea felt her skin tingle, Rio’s soft and gentle touch as he helped her put a band-aid on her wound had her feeling hot all over. The way his hands moved over the fragile skin had her gulping. ‘What the fuck? He’s only bandaging my wound…why am I feeling so…warm?’ She wondered as Rio continue the massage the surrounding area. Things had gone quiet and awkward between them while heading up to her apartment and eventually brought her in and even carried her to the sofa.Andrea felt strangely glad that he now knows the password to her apartment since he’ll always wait for her sometimes. ‘Seriously why is that something to be glad about?’ She wondered but grimaced at the sensation of Rio’s warm fingers massaging her.“That’s enough Rio” Andrea eventually let out, withdrawing her hand instantly.“Are you sure?” Rio asked. His eyes reflected pure concern that had Andrea feeling rather guilty for reacting to his touch.“Yeah…I’m thirsty, I wanna get-” But before she could finish saying any
Rio could sense her unease, her nervousness as they eat and watch the movie together while engaging in small talk. Rio already learned a lot about her through her drunken talks but hearing her talk about herself made Rio realise he still knows so little about her.“eeeh, that hits the spot! Beer and pizza go best” Andrea grinned in satisfaction as she drained a can of beer to accompany the several pieces of Pizza she’s had.“I think you’re just a beer addict, I thought women don’t like beer very much…don’t they all prefer wine to beer?” Rio asked after Andrea opened another can.“Where on earth do you hear that crap from?” Andrea frowned. “While many women preferred wine because of its elegance and subtle alcohol contents, you can’t judge all women with that” Andrea scolded and Rio nodded in defeat. Her actions and words had become more aggressive, her voice was several pitches higher than normal, taking her flushed look and unfocused gaze into consideration, it was obvious to Rio tha
“It’s Miss Morgan” Andrea had people mumbled as she walked into the office which seems to have turned upside down by her presence. She heard learn to get used to the attention but it proved even more annoying that morning.“Do you think the rumour’s really true? Is she really engaged to Oliver Harrison of Boris Enterprises?” Andrea sighed. ‘What’s the point of whispering to each other if they’re gonna be that loud, they should just say it to my face instead’ Andrea thought as she continue down the lounge towards the elevator with a blank expression. She continue to ignore her co-workers' petulant stares and noisy whispers as she climbed on the elevator and headed straight up to her office.Walking in leisurely in her 3 quarter armless blue and white floral dress with white being the dominant colour, she dropped her blue designer bag and slowly peeled off the white jacket she had over the astounding dress she had on.Andrea had learnt wearing heels all day was absolute torture and quic
She had only begun to bring a few shareholders to her side, rallying them to her course to go against her father who was set on making the only male in their family the heir to his fortune. Why she had worked and struggled all her life to get to where she was, everything had just fallen on her brother’s lap resulting in him taking a lot of things for granted. That person was no other than Laura Harrison.Her astounding beauty was unmatched and so were her intellect and talent despite being the first of everything, her brother still always managed to overshadow her and she decided that was over after he returned home upon divorcing his wife, he has been living like a lifeless doll but suddenly changed about a year ago, no one knows the reason why and in that amount of time, Oliver did not only managed to get back on his feet but also managed to take almost everything that originally belonged to her.It later got to her attention that Oliver have a company of his own which was on the br
Andrea could feel something was wrong from Rio’s touch, it was gentle yet harsh, desperate yet calm. She couldn’t wrap her head around his sudden change of demeanour and at one point, he looked mad…spiteful, thrusting into her until pain was mixed with the pleasure. Was he still mad? She couldn’t help but wonder and when she woke up to him sleeping right next to her, she could stare. Andrea knew it was now Oliver that was right next to her, Rio was probably asleep again, but she couldn’t help herself as she leaned in and plant on his lips a soft kiss before getting off from bed.And while the heavy downpour from the shower washed down the scent of their union and the mixed sweats from her body. She could only think of his actions the previous night. How every action of his was inexplicable. His hot touch that was full of longing and desperation, begging for he so desperately. ‘I don’t understand’ Andrea mumbled under the water of the hot shower.After several minutes of rubbing her sk
The billionaire 45Andrea woke up with a hazy head, opening her eyes was difficult and for a minute she wondered if she was coming down with something.“Holy shit!” She screamed after her eyes caught the bold figures of the time on her phone screen. Daisy’s gonna kill me” She declared shooting up from bed at once. “Hold on a minute, where the hell is Oliver?” She wondered for a minute before deciding to check him in his room. While she wished she could just head back to work, she still needed to at least thank him for helping her. “Maybe I could convince him to drop me off at work too, I hate that I couldn’t bring my car” Andrea thought aloud while walking towards Oliver’s room were Oliver and Laura's banter could be heard. Andrea didn’t mean to eavesdrop but she ended up overhearing most of their conversation including how Oliver had gotten back at Laura for showing up at her place of work to mentally torment her, pretending to be oblivious of their heated conversation, she slid open

Oliver wasn’t expecting Andrea’s reaction to Jasmine’s presence. He had somehow managed to remember Jasmine after he walked up to him. Jasmine was one of the few friends that stuck with him during high school, though they eventually lost contact after he got into college, he didn’t t think exchanging contacts with an old friend was such a big deal until Andrea walked up to them, surprising them both. “That was your fiancee? She seem a bit different from what I heard” Jasmine who had her golden blonde hair tied up commented after Andrea walked off. “Really? How different exactly?” Oliver still couldn’t keep his eyes off Andrea who was walking away with a flushed look on his face. “Everyone was convinced what you two had was business somehow but judging from her reaction, I don’t see it that way” Oliver was forced to glance back at Jasmine who had a gentle smile on her face. “Contrary to the rumours you both seem to care about each other very much. I’m happy for you Oliver, and you ca
“What are you doing here?” Andrea asked after she settled into the car with Oliver who was also pondering on the question. He had rushed over thinking perhaps Andrea needed him, was he wrong?“I heard the guy’s been caught. I just wanted to check up on you to make sure you were okay” Oliver answered a little too honestly since Andrea was now staring at him for his response.“Um, yeah I’m fine. Well except for being unable to handle the reporters. I think I’m good…more than I thought I’ll be” Andrea mumbled the last part under her breath before heaving a heavy sigh.“I’m on my way to the hospital he is in. I wanna see for myself . I wanna see if he was really captured and if he is…I wanna ask him why he did it-“Do you need to do that? I mean that could be dangerous” Oliver stated and Andrea smiled.“I know, which is why I won’t be getting close and he’ll be in cuffs, I think it should be alright to hold a proper conversation” Andrea replied and Oliver sighed. “I need to go get my car”
“There has to be something you can do” Oliver pressed Raynold further after he insisted that he was still working on the changes happening in his body. Oliver couldn’t hold back from feeling uncomfortable, anxious and uneasy after he was made to watch everything that transpired between Rio and Andrea the night before. He felt he was going mad when he was holding her in his arm, embracing and kissing her but all she had on the tip of her tongue was another’s name. Oliver couldn’t believe they both really agreed to go out with each other in this situation.Andrea was right, the situation is rather too complicated for them to date but Rio saw no issues with that. ‘That selfish son of a bitch’ Oliver thought enraged at how Rio had only thought for himself. ‘Does he not know of the awkward situation he put me in, is he outta his mind?’ Oliver internally raged but something inside him told him he wasn’t mad because Rio and Andrea would put him in a complicated situation. Rather he was mad a
Andrea wasn’t sure how to feel when she turn in for the night after leaving a brooding Oliver behind at the dining.’I shouldn’t have asked’ Andrea thought to herself after returning to her room but she couldn’t stop being curious. Just what happened with his ex-wife? Why does he have such a depressed look, does he love her that much that it hurts? Andrea felt her heart squeezed in her chest after seeing the expression on Oliver’s face, an unfamiliar emotion she couldn’t describe. A disturbing feeling that wouldn’t go away until she was lying by her side on the bed with her eyes closed.Even when she’s lying down wanting to rest her exhausted body, She still couldn’t get Oliver’s pained expression out of her head. Andrea was plagued with the question ‘Why?’ and eventually, she fell asleep but woke up to Rio’s disturbing hands all over her. Roaming her body as if searching for something, His hot rough palm lit sparks in their wake, awaking her desire and fueling her need to be touched
Immediately after leaving Andrea Oliver immediately tried to reach Ray since only him could give him an explanation for what Rio did. It felt like he was running mad trying to justify his actions, yes he got mad and jumped out during the freaking daytime with no thunder or anything, it could only mean to some extent Rio share his senses, he knows exactly what was going on. “Can I get back to you on this?” Was the response from Ray since even him was surprised by the act. It was a little bit unlike Ray to be flustered by he was by the information and then he asked him to come back, because of his early dismissal he was able to arrive at the company during the meeting he already made up his mind to miss. Having to work his ass of all day with questions of Rio bugging his mind was rather exhausting, so exhausting he thought he might just faint and after getting home to finally have some rest he so dully deserved he, he was given the news of his sister visiting Andrea at work. Oliver was
Andrea found it rather amusing watching Laura’s expression take quick switches, from annoyance to irritation to anger then suddenly to mischief. As if announcing that she was up to no good, not that share cares, none of that ever mattered to her anyway, since she can definitely see through her petty tricks.“Maybe I don’t like you but it doesn’t mean I hate you either” Andrea scoffed to Laura’s statement. ‘How I wish I can believe that, does she think I’m stupid or what?’ Andrea thought as she watched Laura tried to hide her obvious contempt.“Okay-“Look, I’m trying to help you here. I could send my assistant or anyone else for that but I figure it’d be best coming here myself since it’ll make it possible for you to understand the gravity of the situation. My brother is someone you don’t wanna be with…even if you know about his condition I still think you should try your best to avoid being with hi, he’s violent…aggressive and animalistic. I’m trying to look out for you here” Laura
