Landon's standpoint I paced around my office angrily, hands folded behind my back. Mordecai was doing a good job rubbing his relationship with the only woman I love on my face. The problem was that I couldn't do anything about it because she equally never liked me. There was absolutely no way, except kidnapping and never letting her go. But that was a waste of time, I knew that. Even if I threatened to wipe her entire family, it wouldn't make her love me. I wasn't one of those men who would abduct a woman and keep her hostage because I wanted her to love me. Autumn had never and would never love me. Getting G-Steel from him wasn't going so well, and my company was going bankrupt, slowly. Father was yet to know because I hid it well, but how long was I going to hide it? So much to worry about. I ran my fingers into my hair, everything was messed up. "Miss, you can't be in here!" My secretary yelled. Just then the door flew open to reveal a very angry Sinead. "I am so sorry, sir, I tr
Autumn's standpoint I looked at my wristwatch, it was almost time to leave so I could get ready for my somewhat date with Cai. Kayla was more than happy to let me go, we already had two new workers since I wasn't always around and I was going to stop working at the diner soon. "Ms. Newton," one of the new hires said shyly. She was a very shy person, blushed a lot, and had a very innocent soul. Literally, she was twenty-three and still a virgin. Didn't know what a dick was or how it even looked like. And when she heard anyone swear, she covered her ears with a wince, as if the words were hurting her brain. Heck! The girl doesn't even know what a clit is and she is a woman. It was amusing, very, very. I smiled warmly at her. "Yes, Izzy?" "I was wondering if I could ask you for something, don't take it wrongly or anything—" she trailed off and looked over her shoulder. I didn't realize her sisters were there, all sitting at a table and giving her encouraging and pleading looks. "It's
Autumn's standpoint I spun around in front of the full-length mirror, I was ready for the party. I wasn't in the mood for anything too fancy so I simply wore an antique ruby and arsenic polo-neck cold shoulder pleated dress. The gown flared thoroughly, except for the slight tightness from the neckline to above my boobs. The dress stopped below my knees, swirling around with every little breeze and movement. I wore an azureish white triple strap clear heels and a small purse to match. My makeup was nude with my lips the same shade of red as my dress. As for my hair, I wasn't in the mood for the stress so I put it up in a half-crown braided chignon. Exhaling, I walked out to the room where Chelsea was playing with Angela. She was spending the night with us since Delaney claimed she had something too important to work on. Mordecai said she was keeping her new boyfriend a secret and they were planning to assassinate the man. "Wow," Chelsea gushed, eyes running down my body, "you always
Autumn's standpoint When I got to Delaney, I quietly studied him, he looked too innocent for what Angela was accusing him of. I cleared my throat with a plastic smile. Laney turned her attention to me and gasped, her face turned red in embarrassment. "So, is this our in-law?" I teased. The man chuckled while she stared at everywhere but my face. "So I am going to introduce myself since she can't talk, the name's—" "Autumn, Autumn Newton," he interjected, taking my stretched-out hand. "Wow," I swayed back, "I'm popular. Nice to meet you…?" "Mero, my name is Mero Jacks." "Angela told me so much about you, she had such wonderful stories to tell about you," I said sweetly. I noticed the contour that formed on his forehead and the crinkle under his eyes, right before he adjusted his face. "Hope she told you nice stories," he smiled, unconsciously squeezing my hand tighter. I released my hand and sent both to the large pockets in my flare gown. "Oh, she did. She said you told her you
Autumn's standpoint I kicked off my shoes immediately. Cai shut the front door of his mansion. It was the first time I was at his house, and I have to say the house is something, really, really something. He lived in a castle-like mansion with shadow blue, shadow gray, cadet gray, ghost white, and Cambridge blue paintings, tiles, and stones. I didn't see it clearly since it was dark, though the countless lights illuminated the exterior. The interior was glorious, sumptuous, and a clever mixture of floral white, Roman silver, Laurel green, peach-orange, or whatever that pale color is. Some furniture had light shades of maximum blue purple and pastel purple. The colors to me were amazing and suited my taste. "Nice colors," I said tiredly as I threw my purse on one of his expensive vintage couches. "If you want, I can add peaches," I looked over my shoulder and glared at him. He chuckled with an innocent raise of his hands. "What am I doing in your house anyway?" "Weren't you horny f
Autumn's standpoint "Kiss me?" A mischievous smile spread on his lips. "I thought you'd never ask." Mordecai brought my head down to his and kissed me, slowly, sexually, passionately. I let myself drown in the pleasurable taste of his mouth, knowing fully well that I taste like chips. The protruding little mister was bugging me down there. So with a growl, I pulled away from the kiss and sat up straight. I pulled the shirt over my head carefully so I wouldn't fall off the covers. Finally, I was stark naked in front of him. "Hello, little darlings, miss me?" He asked playfully, taking one boob in his hand. "Unfortunately, I might not attend to you too well tonight, I have to pay your older sister a visit." He let his lustful and playful gaze travel south. I smacked his head, causing him to chuckle lightly. "Older sister?" I asked amusingly, going down to the disturber. He wasn't wearing any shirt in the first place, just his trunk briefs to make things easier for me. "She was there
Autumn's standpoint The light hit my eyes dimly, I groaned and turned my head from the light. I felt someone's hand on my waist and a thick leg on mine. I furrowed my brows, trying to recollect last night and how I ended up in bed with a man. I smiled as I remembered where I was and how I got here. I turned my head and opened my eyes, my blurry eyes landing first on the beautiful face of the man who loved me. He looked like an angel just sleeping so peacefully… Not that I've seen one before, but if there was ever to be one, he would be a great description. I slowly pried his hand off me and untangled our legs. He groaned lowly. "Where are you going?" "I'm going to prepare breakfast for you," I planted a small kiss on his lips and got off the bed. He went back to sleep after that. I stretched on my toes, bending my body back before doing a few body twists to get my stiff bones cracking. Once all my bones were flexed, I made my way to his closet and picked out a pale crimson football
Chelsea's standpoint About an hour later, I was tucking Carter in while Mother read a book. A small knock came from the door before the person opened it. I almost gasped when I saw Andy standing there with a bouquet of yellow daisies. "Anderson," I whispered, glaring at him. I told him not to come. Mother looked up from her book and then at him. Andy walked in with a grin. "Oh, hello, who might you be?" "Good evening, ma," he greeted politely. I sighed and placed my hands on my hips. "You know Carter is a kid and wouldn't care about flowers," I said as a matter-of-fact. "Good thing I didn't bring it for him," he walked to Mom with the most charming smile I have ever seen him wear. "These are for you, ma'am. I got Carter a tablet if you don't mind—" "He'll love it," Mom smiled, looking at me for the introduction she was suspecting. "Yes mother, this is Anderson, my boss, friend, and boyfriend," I said boredly. "Wow! He is so cute! So precious!" Wait, what?! Anderson, the charm
