I walked out of the company feeling so exhausted and weak, Richard made sure that I finished all the work that I neglected for the past two weeks. He said that was my punishment for ignoring him and the company that I had risked everything to lift to this level just because of a woman, but he was wrong there because she wasn't just any woman. She's my woman! Mine! And I don't know what I'll do if she ever leaves me. The only home I know is her. We had to even cancel the hangout we said we would have after work hours because I left work late and will be getting home very late. This is the first time I'll be leaving the office at this time of the day, so I decided to walk around the office and check the surroundings."What are you doing in that place?" I asked a young girl I saw working on the computer in front of her and I was surprised when she flinched in shock with so much innocence but I was still suspicious and wary of her. What could she be doing here by this time of the day even
"Hello!" I said on the phone immediately she picked it up."Father, you finally remembered me. I have always told you that bitch wasn't useful" she chuckled and I smiled wickedly."You've always been right and we both know that you're always on point" I praised her."Stop it, Damien . You never cease to make me happy whenever you call!" She laughed." I need you to come home, daughter. I want you to finish the mission with Jaxon , she's trying to act smart and his business is booming more than usual lately, and we both know how much that annoys me" I said." I thought the rumors I heard about them being married were false, father. Why didn't you invite me to Ayla's wedding?" She whined and I chuckled thinking of how amazing it is that she loves Ayla even though they have never met. I wonder how she'll react if she finds out that they're blood sisters and my new wife is their biological mother."Father!" She called, pulling me out from my thoughts."You know the rules, young lady! Do
I was sad since we came back from New York City because Jaxon has been ignoring me since I refused to go with him to the business meeting but I wonder why he couldn't try to understand my plight? This party is something my friends and I have been planning for a while. How can I just call them a day to the party to tell them that I won't be able to attend it because I want to go with him to his business meeting. Won't it look like I'm dumping them because I'm now married to him?I smiled as I stared at my hand and I remembered how he held my hand when the private jet was about to take off and when it was about to land, I didn't believe that he could be that considerate about me after what I did. I rolled on my bed unable to sleep, I scoffed in anger with the thoughts that he might be asleep by now but little did I know that he was working his ass out to calm himself down.I picked my phone and decided to call my friends knowing that those girls of mine will surely be awake, either i
It's been a while since Ayla and I talked. I was happy that I was able to cause a rift between her and Jaxon but I didn't expect that she'd shut me out of her life and snub me for this long. I can't deny the fact that I was sad when I saw her looking so unlike herself, she's trying to deny the feelings that's obvious that she has for Jaxon . As much as I love her and want her to be truly happy with the love of her life, I dare not betray her father or allow my emotions get in the way of my mission.The head maid has been assigning more duties to me than usual, and I understand that it's because she's jealous that I'm close to our boss. I can't wait for Ayla to stop treating me like the other maids, then I'll deal with all the maids that laughed at me when I was working and I'll make sure that I talk Ayla into talking to that bastard and idiotic head maid, but I was devastated and shocked when she didn't call for me after she settled her fight with Jaxon .I just hope that she doesn
"Thought you said that you won't be able to come here?" Jaxon asked as he held my hand, kissing it before he looked at me and shook his head gently."It seems you were expecting me to come, considering the fact that you came here alone" I teased while he chuckled as he pulled off his blazer."Something in me just told me that you'll come here" he shrugged as he put the blazer on me."Jaxon , I'm not cold" I said with an eye roll."I'm not blind but I can't have you walking around this place in this lingerie you call a dress. Your body should be seen by me alone, I don't like it when people look at things that belong to me, it makes me feel some how" he groaned as he ruffled his hair, he placed his hand on my back and helped me to sit with his hand still on my back. I smiled at how he glared at other men staring at me."There's nothing wrong with this dress, you're just being skeptical. You don't expect me to dress in a sack bag here right" I snorted."With this body of yours, I think
Today has to be the worst and happiest day of my life, I can't imagine that a woman has the audacity to stand me up in an event, no one has ever done that to me not even my father, I have always been the one commanding respect from people an standing them up, no one has ever returned the favor until today.I had no other choice than to call my wife, the woman the familia forced me to get married to, a woman who's obsessed with how hot I look, a woman who'll stop at nothing to make me hers even though we both know that’s an impossible mission, a woman who I only make love to because the familia needs the children, a woman who married me out of her greed for power, wealth and fame.My kids and I don't like her, and we never fail to show it to her. Sometimes, I wonder if she's worthy of being loved or I'm the one that's not capable of loving someone but I know that I love my kids, they're my world and everything I could ever wish for.That night with Anne changed me and I knew it, I coul
“I’m sorry, sir.”I looked down at the girl before me. She watched me with huge blue eyes and parted lips. Then I realized who the girl was Ayla Rizzo, my future wife.I stared, beside me, Felix was holding back laughter, but I wasn’t close to fucking amusement. The woman—the girl—who would become my wife in less than three months had just called me “sir.”My eyes raked over her body, taking in her bare feet, slender legs, ugly denim dress, and the flowery atrocity she wore as a top. Finally, my eyes settled on her face. She still had bangs, but the rest of her hair was long and wavy, trailing down her bare shoulders.She raised her eyes when I didn’t make a move to let her pass and stiffened, obviously surprised by my unwavering attention.I had to admit that the bangs didn’t look half bad. She was very pretty. A lovely girl. That was the problem. Dressed as she was, she looked like a teenage girl, not a woman—definitely not a wife and mother.She touched her bangs with shaking fin
I was still shaking when I entered my bedroom after my first encounter with Jaxon . He had been intense and cold, not to mention dominant. Ordering me to change my wardrobe? How dare he?“There you are! Where have you been?” Mom asked, ushering me toward my walk-in closet. “We need to get you ready. For God’s sake, Ayla , what are you wearing?”She tugged at my clothes until I started undressing, still in a trance. Mom gave me a curious look. “What’s with you?”“Nothing,” I said quietly.Mom turned to the selection of dresses she must have spread out on the bench before I’d arrived. “I can’t believe you don’t own a single decent dress.”I’d always avoided going to official events because I hated the insincere schmoozing and backstabbing attitude of those who attended them. “What’s wrong with the dresses I own?”Mom had chosen the three least quirky dresses from my collection. All of them were in my favorite retro Audrey Hepburn style. She picked up a sky-blue dress with white dots. “D
