Alexis's POV When I had taken a stroll to calm myself down, only then did it dawn on me what I had done and how I shouldn't have just stepped out, letting a heave, I turned on my heels, traipsing back when I stopped at the open door. Fine, it seemed like it had been slammed shut but even at that it looked suspicious, my heart dinged when I recalled that she hadn't had anything to eat yet and she must be too pissed to even stomach anything. Strolling up the stairs while thinking of how to get her to step out with me, my eyes fell on her phone which laid on the couch, fixating my eyes on it, I tried to come to term with the fact that maybe she had left it there and gone up the stairs in fury while continuing my walk upstairs. Pushing the door to the room open, I met a room devoid of her presence and my heart plunged, several thought ran through that she must have possibly left, or gone back but I threw them off not wanting to believe it, it would be hard for her to go and beside, sh
Nortia's POV His scent permeated into my nostrils and I knew somehow he had found me, just like always maybe he would be doing that a lot. Nudging the once handsome man away, I found myself standing upright still trying to stand sober while he stood inches away from me so furious that I could tell over here. My hand went to my finger which suddenly was without the ring he had given me and when his eyes ran over, glancing at it, I waited for him to say something “ Is there something wrong? Something I just didn't do right, perhaps? Because why are you in the arm of someone else!” His veins bulge as he demanded, clawing their way to his face. “ Nortia” my knees weakened, almost dropping me to the floor when the bartender's tough hands gripped me, Alexis's eyes glossed over, fixating on his eyes before he cackled, sneering as well. “ Get off her now!” “ All I did was help her, she was about to drop”the bartender retorted, still holding me. “ Last I checked, I don't need anyone's
Alexis POV I waited for what I expected was going to be her reaction but she kept mute, and I had never felt as bad as I did, I didn't know what to feel, what else to say. It was practically the first time I was letting out my feelings and it was being thrown to the side, dashed and slammed so hard that it seemed it had been my heart that had been thrown as well. I watched her lashes flutter, the gentle thud of my heart could be heard as it intensified with each waiting minute for her reply and even at that, she didn't say a word. Resigning to fate, and cussing myself out repeatedly for saying and wanting too much, I stood up, feet traipsing over to the door, while I tried to get away when a hand held my sleeves. “ Stay,” her words came out in a whisper, her hold tightening around my sleeves. “ Nortia…” “ Please stay, I want you” My throat parched, as I flipped my head around, gazing at her so intensely that I hoped it would be what I had just heard and that she meant it. “Wh
Nortia's POV The gentle thud of the bird against the windowpane as I woke up had me up in an instant. I turned around, hand stretching to the other side of the bed while I expected my hand to caress warmth when the cold side of the bed hit me. I flicked my eyes open in an instant searching around for Alexis who was nowhere to be found, a grunt left my lips at the persistent ache that tore through me, a smile curled at the edge of my lips as laughter colored my tone. I chewed on my lips, throwing the blanket off me when I sat upright, before taking a look at myself in the mirror, I had hickeys all over my shoulders and I wondered where else they might be hiding. The thought of having it in-between my legs had me giggling because girl, I loved it. Alexis tongue in between my legs had me wild and wanting even more, I swallowed, a bit parched when my stomach growled, a reminder that I had forgotten to eat yesterday and had opted for sex instead. A daily reminder to myself, make su
Alexis's POV She felt and tasted divine, everything I didn't want to let go and I wasn't about to do so either. All it had taken for me to realize how much I wanted her was seeing her with another man who had his hand around her and I knew right there and then that I didn't want to ever let her go. Thrusting into her, I listened for her moans, holding up her hair as I did so, grunts escaped my lips at how good she felt and how she kept milking my cock dry of its cum. My hands tightened around her, my hold fistened while I was close and when her body fell slack, giving me an hint that she was so close to cumming, I spilled my seeds inside of her, the warmth trickling down her legs. “ That was…” she tried to catch her breath while thinking of the right words to say. “Impressive” she exhaled, a gasp accompanying her lips as she said that. Beaming at her, I knew I had to wash off but I would do so later, until then I had to make sure that she was properly catered to. All of a sudd
Nortia’s POVWhile I scrubbed, letting everything wash off my body, all that I could think about was what I had been told, and all that had transpired between us. From the sex in the room to the one in the dining room and then his words afterwards, a part of me was opening up to accept what I thought he felt for me but would that be termed as love?Was there ever going to be a time where I can actually say he loved me? He had said that he had feelings for me, but feelings weren't just it, it contained a whole lot of things and I didn't want to conform my whole self with just his words. The sex has been great, fine, and I would really love to try it all over again, but still I had to watch him closely, just to be sure that I wouldn't end up having any regrets at the end of it all. Turning off the shower, I let out an exhale, dragging my breath in, wrapping myself with a towel, my feet dragged out, I felt better than I did in the morning and so, we have decided to take a stroll, dit
Nortia's POV “ Really?” I had both hands on my waist as I questioned because I should have known, when he had that wide grin on his face and he had handed me that card which I knew didn't have a limit that this was his plan. “ I have enough already” “ Not enough to me and besides I haven't seen you in any, so what's bad with me getting you some? And watching you as well?” “ It's a lingerie shop, I am not supposed to be here” “ Why? Because you are with me?” “ Aside that, I am not supposed to be here”“ Then where are you supposed to be?” He teased, throwing banters at me because I wasn't seeing it anyway else. He leaned against my ears, whispering. “I will get the chance to see your perky ass in such fitted fine clothing, wouldn't it be a sight for me?” I turned around, sending him laser glares because he was pissing me off already before tugging me alongside with him. “ Welcome” a girl who stood at the door greeted me when we walked in, her eyes flipped from me to Alexis.
Alexis's POV I knew right away that she was going to be the end of me somehow and I had to do everything to get out of here before it escalated, she was just like a drug to me, one that I would never get tired of taking and would get used to. I let out a sigh when she jerked, scooping her juice as I slipped it in-between my lips while making sure she was looking me straight in the eye. She threw her face away, attempting to hide when I held her back, making sure she wasn't going to tear her face off. “ Let's get you dressed so we can go on a proper date” I said to her, giggling inwardly because it was something I knew she didn't have a clue about. Making her work in circles was just a part of the plan which was supposed to get her mind off whatever we had going, I didn't want her to know what I had in mind. Her eyes melted into shock at my words before she questioned. “ Really? Are we going out?” “ A proper date” I stood up to my full height, deciding to pack up the lingerie
Nortia's POV It was aggravating to know that there were numerous things I didn't know about Alexis, while all of this time, all he had said something about me knowing him and him knowing me also were all lies that he had said to me. I had been stunned to see Genevieve when she walked in through the door, peering at me eagerly, and when the words:“ Who are you?” Had slipped out of my lips, I had seen the look on her face that held disappointment and I knew she had every right to feel that way. Alexis hadn't said a word to me about her, neither in passing and I had been shocked when she had mentioned that she was his sister but that had left me shocked because she looked so different from the regular girls I would have expected her to be. Snobbish, rude and always pissed off, instead she gave off this calm aura that made you drawn to her and made you want to know everything about her so we bonded quickly with her talking endlessly about Alexis and their bond. I could tell their bo
Alexis's POV It was funny how the universe worked,after getting married or rather announcing that I was married, and there are love up pictures of I and my wife everywhere, she decided to pop up from God knows where just to sabotage what I have right now because there was nothing else that I would get from this. That was the only opinion that I could deduce because if it wasn't that, then I didn't know how exactly she would just show up, claiming that she wanted to meet with me. I was off-bound and I didn't want to see her. “ Let her know that I am busy and I can't see her, also let her know that my wife wouldn't want me being with her” “ I will do just that,” Gerald replied before walking away. I stood, hands on my waist while I tried to understand where this was coming from, whatever I had with her was in the past and she had torn my heart as well. She had done worse than what Maxwell had done to Nortia because stupid me back then had insisted on her staying even after I had
Alexis's POV Her words didn't seem convincing as though she was hurt by what I had said or she wasn't expecting that I had anyone else who would be by my side aside from her. I knew from how fast her countenance had changed that she wasn't going to answer me right now and I was at a loss still wondering if I was to give her some time or stay back as I needed to know which one it would be. When she didn't give an answer, neither did she say a word, I knew that she was already pissed off at me and so I knew space would be welcoming. “ I will be off now” I took steps closer to her attempting to kiss her on the cheek when she threw her head to the side. “ Nortia, don’t be this way” I urged, still trying to have a go at it when she did the same thing as she had done initially. “ Fine, I will leave now and wait for you to be calm a bit, but you should know that no one else have my heart aside you of course” I waited for her to say something and when the answer wasn’t coming forth, I w
Nortia's POV I knew that the relief I felt had stemmed from the fact that my co workers had been shocked to see Alexis, there happened to be a satisfaction from what I had just witnessed that I never knew was there. Samantha had been aggrieved, pissed even and I was glad that Alexis had used the moment to my advantage, so what exactly was wrong with me going to his workplace? Since it was in the open already. “Your mum?” “ She's okay, didn't say a word to my father though because she said it would have him mad”“ At me or at you?” “ Both of us, he hates deceit more than anything” “ But we are trying to make this work, I mean, you can tell and we are putting in the effort,” I explained. Anyone could see that, maybe this would turn out just fine the way that we wanted, the one where we both loved each other and we had to be by each other side by the way through. I didn't know where the car had ended up but it looked like an underground parking lot which might lead to his office
Alexis's POV I had thrown all the caution to the wind as I strolled across immediately the car had come to a halt just in front of the company, not mine but hers, a few questions with some trying to shove up their boobs at me when they noticed who I was had me over here. I haven't seen her panic the way she did and so I knew I had to do something, that had led me to saying; “ I am here for my wife, Nortia Williams” every eyes had turned to me with Nortia almost dropping on the chair when I said that,was that good news or was I supposed to be getting up and walking away right now?I checked her eyes for what exactly it was and which one I was to go with but I couldn't get anything from her eyes so I had to go with the notion that she was fine and I wasn't supposed to be worried about anything. My eyes went to Samantha who seemed to have been brewed in rage and toppled out, drawing closer, she had a smile on her face before she said “ My cousin is all over here, I am trying to get
Nortia's POV I went about the rest of my day with a smile hanging on my lips because my days before today had been eventful. I chewed on my lips, singing to myself when I noticed eyes glossing at me again but I didn't care, they were beginning to do this a lot and it was better that I forgot about them at the moment. A further glance around and I noticed they hadn't stopped, until heels clicked down and I saw Samantha at my door, looking all dashing but she was also the devil incarnate to me. “ Well, well, who do we have here? The pretentious girl? How exactly did you get Alexis to stay with you even after he saw what you had done?” My hand stopped on the keypad as I turned to her. “ That's because unlike you I don't cheat, have you heard about anything like your husband's father or your father in law? I am sure there is a term like that but you haven't heard it yet because you haven't even met Maxwell's father,” “Who told you that? I have and you are just saying words you can't
Alexis's POV I thought I had talked too much when I wasn't even supposed to until she leaned closer, hands on my cheek before she placed gentle kisses on my face. I beamed at her, the same time the car came to a stop in front of her workplace before she rushed out. I watched her walk in, making sure she was safe and fine inside the walls of her workplace before I gave orders for the driver to move. “ Wait” I said abruptly when I noticed her guards already waiting outside with her driver, they were both skilled martial arts experts and I knew that when the situation arose, they would be able to make sure Nortia was fine. Maybe when it came to it, I would get a way to make sure he knew how to defend herself as well. I hoped it wouldn't come to the situation where she would have to, but just making sure that was going to be better than putting her in harm's way. “The next few days to come are going to be rough and I want you to stay by her side always especially when she isn't with
Nortia's POVMonday finally came and I hated so much that we had to go back home, I had considered this as my home and was looking forward to making even more memories here. I was so sure Alexis's mother would be happy to see that her plan worked out the way that she wanted and we had bonded just well. Alexis had said something about the housekeeper reporting to her and that I wouldn't have to do much. I threw my head around one more time, waving to the housekeeper and the gardener who stood waving off at me. I was trying to hide the fact that it would look so awkward if they found the post pills but on second thought, we were married so it was justifiable. “ It seems Samantha wants to give this a try, because she seems so eager to meet with your parents before her marriage, do you think she would be trying to make them like her so she can push me off?” I couldn't help but ask as we got into the car, the driver zoomed off. It was the early hours of the morning and we had to be
Nortia's POV One more night and we would be out of here, I didn't want this to end, it was everything and I knew it had helped us so I found myself saying while the voice of Noah screaming dawned in the background. “ I will miss this when we are back home” “ We can always go away on random vacations such as this” he explained, slamming the nail where exactly I wanted it. “ Sure?” “ Yes, every weekend we can, as long as you are fine with it and you are ready to go with me, I don't see any problem with that” I let him hold my hand, stretching the box of pizza at me. “ I am going to add more weight after this” I pouted, trying to get the pizza when he handed it back. “ I will always love you the same way, it isn't going to change, the love I have for you is always going to be above that” he said to me. My eyes flooded with crystals pooling underneath it at the words he had just said. “Beside, we can always hit the gym if you want us to, all you have to do is say the words and I
