"Go on to the guest bedroom, Dexter. You'll find yourself a change of clothes in there. I won't have you looking like you're in a meeting in my house," his grandmother ground out as soon as she saw his dress-code.

He scanned his pristine white shirt and the tailored black pants he had on and frowned. What did having breakfast with her have anything to do with his attire?

"All this frowning is a total waste of time. Go on now," she literally shooed him away. He blinked at that action. She was the only woman who had the guts to do something like that. The rest knew better.

Not up to arguing with his Grandmother so early in the morning, he glided up the stairs both hands tucked in his pockets. He opened the door softly, looked up and stared at the sight in front of him.

"Oh! Mrs Hally, I can't seem to find the body towels," the naked woman in front of him spoke out.

Probably because she got no response from Mrs Hally, he watched her turn and freeze. She was endowed he thought. Her full, rounded and bare breasts stood out and as his eyes traced the rest of her body, something that annoyingly felt like male approval spasmed through his mind.

Suddenly, she jumped and covered herself. Well, at least attempted to. Despite her efforts, he could still very much outline her every edge.

He could almost see the wheels in her head turning as she stood before him. Her eyes seemed to reach anywhere else but at him and that annoyed him a great deal. Maybe because he was a man who liked to be looked at in the eyes when he confronted someone. 

Finally, he got a glimpse at her face. This had to be some sick joke, he thought. It was the same woman from yesterday. First, he finds her standing on his chair. Now, naked?

This woman had to be working with someone who knew about what he did and when. How else could he explain these two odd incidents? He never met his workers but somehow, this woman had managed to surpass that. He clenched his jaw, very much annoyed.

He was staring holes in her face when he finally heard her speak. Make that try to.

"W-who are you?" He kept quiet at that. He was who was and he didn't feel in the mood to entertain this woman that he was sure had an agenda.

"I-I mean what're y-you doing here?" She stuttered. The woman couldn't seem to voice her sentences straight. He really had to hand it to her. She was good. Acting all vulnerable, like her intentions were completely pure.

"I should be asking you that," he grunted, to which he saw her flinch. Too bad he wasn't one to buy into emotions.

"I'm s-sorry Sir, but if you could just please turn around, I'll wear my clothes," he could hear the anger in her voice, brewing just below the surface, despite her attempt to sound calm. 

Did the woman know that her face was like plethora of emotions. Whatever she felt, it showed on her face. He wondered what her face would look like when he made love to her.

Blaming that thought on his traitorous hormones, he shook it away and buried it. He did not have sexual relations with his workers.

Ignoring her earlier plea, he set about to finding the the actual reason behind her being here.

"What're you doing here?" It was a question that left no room for negotiations of any kind.

"You're the one who walked in on me naked!" She exclaimed loudly. 

What did this woman take him for? Some sick, perverted bastard who walked in on naked women? Dexter Black had hot and willing women coming and going and here she was insinuating that he was a pervert.

Narrowing his eyes, he thought two can play.

"Is it?" He taunted her. "Or are you not the one who was waiting for me to come and find you in this...state," he eyed her with disgust, a final kick to her esteem. 

Something that looked like disbelief crossed over her face. She seemed to be processing it in her head and just when he thought that she was going to say something equally coy to him, she sighed in defeat.

She seemed to be in a trance as she grabbed her clothes, that he now realised had been packed neatly on the bed. She walked towards him and past him like a breeze.

Somehow that set him off. He couldn't explain what came over him but next him he had her pinned on the wall. He didn't like it when people walked away from him, he told himself.

She looked at him with those big eyes in shock. He breathed heavily in her face that was so close to his, if he inched closer he could kiss those pouty lips.

"Nobody walks out on me."

He watched as her facial expression went from shocked to angry so quickly, he was not prepared for her outburst.

"Who the hell do you think you are, you bastard? I asked you sooooo nicely to respect my privacy but you're so ignorant you wouldn't know respect if it hit you in the face. Move! I said..."

She looked so fired up. Like a little spit-fire. He watched her go on and on about how he thought he could do whatever he wanted because he was rich. Dexter wanted to tell her that she was indeed right but he couldn't exactly point that out as she didn't give him the chance to. What with all her heated ranting.

And against his better judgement, it turned him on. So, he did the first thing he could think of in order to shut her up.

He held her face in his hands and slammed his lips against her own. She stilled and when she gasped, he took the opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth.

She tried to push him away at the invasion but he held on and moved his tongue in her mouth, teasing her own until he felt her respond. She held onto his shirt, fisting it as if to get closer to him. 

He punished her in that one kiss. There was nothing soft and slow about it. It was all wild and angry. He bit and took her bottom lip into his mouth, sucking and biting on it a little before once again plunging his tongue into her mouth as if he couldn't get enough of her taste.

He groaned when he felt her respond with the same fire that he felt coursing through his blood. It felt like time was at a standstill and he couldn't bring himself to stop. 

Suddenly, she pushed him with all her might and before he could predict her intentions, she had slapped him. Hard. Panting, her hair all over the place, she picked up her clothes and rushed out in all her naked glory.

Flexing his jaw, he smirked. That was a good one he thought. And he hated to admit it but she just became a whole lot interesting. Like the arrogant and prideful man he was, he tucked his hands in his hands and walked towards the closet, consequently devising a plan of his own.

    Mrs Hally lifted the small cup in her hand and sipped her tea. She smiled at the prospect of her plan actually working out. Her plan was not fair per se but she was done playing fair where those stubborn grandsons of hers were concerned.If it meant having Dexter come to her suite under the pretence of having tea, in order to meet Anelia, then so be it.

    Fridays were Anelia's sworn power day. She would wake up a tad bit earlier than needed, prepare breakfast as well Natalie's lunch, packing it for her and taking a shower long before her time to head on to work was overdue. It was a day unlike any other.She would almost always religiously wake up livelier than a person subjected to a cold shower on a cold winter and normally, her spirits would be uplifted at the mere prospect of staying at home on the coming weekend. At the prospect of indulging herself in cheap junk and a steamy nove

    "There have been some changes?" Anelia questioned Tracy as she rummaged in her handbag for her phone. It was on silent; as usual, which was probably why she hadn't seen the message on the group. Nevertheless, the notification would have popped up on the screen. "Shh!" Tracy cried and gestured for her to not bother checking on her phone. "It hasn't been announced yet. I just took the liberty of confiding in you because, well, I feel like you're the only person who ever asks me how I'm doing around here. I swear the rest of the people just act like I'm invisible. Plus I trust you to keep this to yourself before the executives decide to officially announce it."Anelia smiled and nodded her head. She put her phone inside her handbag without looking as her eyes remained focused in Tracy. She suddenly felt like she was back in high school and she had just about been told the gossip of the week. She leaned over Tracy's clean oak table and lowered her voice."Is it something worth knowing or

    Dexter rubbed his hands over Anelia’s smooth skin, his fingers caressing and tracing every curve on the surface of her skin with slow deliberateness. They lay together, skin to skin and to say he was content would be putting it lightly. To think that he had actually entertained the possibility of staying away from her and concoct some plan to seduce and sexually frustrate her until she surrendered. The idea alone now seemed to have been doomed to fail from the very beginning. The plan had come biting him back—it certainly had been the longest week he had ever had to endure. And he wasn’t one to wait around, especially when he had been occasionally living right across the road from her. The issue with his latest acquired addition to his list of properties caused a ball of unease to gather in his stomach. It had to be the most impromptu decision he had ever done in his entire existence, and he hardly ever jumped into a decision without much assessment and evaluation. To say it was unl

    Days passed by and Anelia attempted to keep her mind occupied with the restaurant, the priceless conversations that always arose between her colleagues during work hours and avoiding her best friend like the plague. Emma had tried to pry into the specifics of her sudden meeting with Freda, one that her friend didn’t fail to label as careless and reckless whenever the matter arose, but had failed to gain much information. Anelia couldn’t bring herself to repeat the drama that had unfolded that day, for fear of failing to keep the fact that Dexter remembered everything and had made his intentions towards her clear from her. Knowing her friend, she would have all her belongings packed in just a few minutes and toss her in the next taxi back to La Vida.The thought of going back to La Vida, of going back to him, it brought shivers all over her skin. Whether it was from fear or excitement, she was not too sure. Perhaps, it was a bit of both. She feared the unknown, the possibility that so

    "Take me home," Anelia murmured in a voice that was devoid of feeling. She had spoken the very same words over an hour ago, when she had been more than pliant in his warm embrace and overcome with heat. Except the spoken words now lacked the same enthusiasm that had previously been present in them. Between their shared moment of passion which stood to remind her that all attempts to forget Dexter disintegrated to moot the second he kissed her, and waiting while Dexter explained everything to the police as soon as they arrived on scene; finding her wrapped in his arms and clinging onto him like a vice (much to her mortification), it was safe to say Anelia had sobered up. Add on the fact that while she had been deep in her thoughts, she didn't pay attention to the direction Dexter was steering his car in, only looking up at the familiar La Vida that was illuminated by a glowy colour one couldn't miss from a mile away.Dexter had ignored her protests and taken a hold of her hand like he

    He was calm, cool and utterly composed as he walked down the remaining steps. If anything, he seemed to have walked in the middle of a very a boring play. His eyes finally shifted towards Freda after they had scanned her entire body and Anelia glimpsed the facade breaking for a mere second. In the next second, his features were schooled and it was if as she had imagine that crack.“You have been busy, Freda,” Dexter drawled, looking up at the stage with a lazy gaze. He twisted to look at the hall around him. “And fantastic choice of a hiding place, by the way. I never would have taken you for the sort to know of such dilapidated places.”Freda paced across the stage, the knife shining under the large beam of light she and Anelia were both under. “Why, thank you. And this,” she said, gesturing to the entire building. “Was my favourite place to hang around in my younger years. But, of course you never knew that because you never bothered to know me. But that’s all in the past. What’s im

    Anelia found herself ruefully appreciating the importance of her eyesight, especially now that she was blindfolded and had no way of ripping off the piece of clothing covering her eyes.It was eerily quiet and all the twisting and turning she had done in the past hour, in hopes of somehow freeing herself had only served to bruise her wrists. Stubbornly, she twisted her wrists again and moaned at the pain that shot up her arm.Stilling, she took a large gulp of air and bit down on her lip. Hours ago, her life had been perfectly normal and she had enjoyed every little second of it. Well, that as wasn’t entirely true. The thought alone brought a wave of sadness that settled over the crevices of her heart and tightened.To say that she had tried her hardest to be merry, to spend as much time with her newfound family at the restaurant and with Natie would be understatement. She had been working harder than was necessary to take her mind off Dexter, to no avail. If anything, thoughts of hi

    Two pairs of sharp eyes stared at each other. One of the two were encompassed by wrinkles that crinkled deeply when the owner was in a merry mood, one that she currently was not in. The other pair that closely resembled hers, in that they were an extremely piercing pair of orbs that could not be bullied into casting their gaze down, continued to stare back at her.“Should we not intervene?” The most talkative of the twins said in a voice that was close to a whisper. Brett’s only response happened to be a sardonic smile. Of all the people present in the room, he happened to find great amusement in the situation at hand.As if Mrs Hally, their grandmother, finally registered the words that Dave had quietly uttered to his twin, she turned her eyes to him. “I’m most disappointed in you two,” she said pointedly in the direction of Dave and Brett. “Your brother has always been stubborn and difficult to deal with, but I’ve always counted on you two to balance out those very characteristics

    It was six in the evening when the car screeched to a stop near a small cafe in the outskirts of town. The taxi driver had tried to get her to converse, but Anelia had been too busy thinking about the preposterousness of her actions to really engage in the conversation."Be safe now!" The woman shouted, as Anelia stepped on the curb. "Thanks?" Anelia spoke loudly, although it came out as a question. Was the apprehension she was feeling internally so perfectly drawn on her face that the woman had felt obligated to wish her safe.Without another word from the drover, the taxi drove off and there was no way back now. It was too late to go back now. She had taken the bait and travelled so far away to get some answers.Anelia rubbed her palms on her jeans and unlocked her phone. There was no message to direct her any further, so she waited. She had barely taken a step in the direction of the cafe when the familiar tone of her phone signalling an incoming phone call rang."Yes?" She answer

    Weeks flew by and things in the Telford household slowly shifted back to normal. Oliver decided to stay, and their conversations became less robotic and dry. Less forced. Things gradually eased back to what had been their normal, asides from Oliver's occasional guardedness that although Anelia found rather cute, she hoped he would sooner lose it than later. It was Saturday and Oliver had flown over to see his parents. That meant it was just her and Natie for the weekend. Macy had finally forced her to take her off days that Anelia had for so long been procrastinating to claim. That meant it was either they spent the whole day in the house or they chose to go out.Anelia knew one thing for sure, she much preferred being out there surrounded by the buzz of people than being stuck at home with her thoughts doing a party in her mind. Which was why they were going to the movies to watch Frozen 2, upon Natie's request. "Nat, are you done?" Anelia spoke over her shoulder, not sure if Natie
