Alexis's POV All I saw was red when I stepped in, I had left the office in such a good mood today that I didn't want to be anywhere else but close to my wife. I would have gone right back home but suddenly the idea of going back home didn't sit well with me. I didn't want to go back to an empty house where I just had my cook, cleaners and my housekeeper. I wanted something more. I needed Nortia's smile. I found myself wanting to see her face, the little lopsided smile all over and the blush that colored it especially since I had plans to tease her about her choice of panties.But nothing had prepared me for the fact that I would see the same doctor that I didn't like last night standing right there, touching her face, when had they gotten so close? Was it not just last night that she slept over? So what exactly was going on now? I shoved him aside so hard that it had him stumbling backwards. “ What do you think you are doing!” I barked at him demanding an answer. I had never be
Alexis POV I was trying to keep sane so as not to scare her off, I could be cruel toward anyone but not to her.Also, I knew that I had to get her to talk without getting her worried but what I had just heard about her uncle was enough to piss me off and I was trying so hard not to let that show. Keep her calm so as not to get her worked up. When she wrapped her hands around my waist, words got caught in my throat while I watched her keenly. She looked so small and yet so adorable that I didn't want anyone doing anything to her. I found myself not wanting anyone harming her as well as I was obligated to keep her safe, but was this all from obligation? This ache in me, the sudden jealousy when I had seen her with him, the young doctor.“ You will be assigned a driver and a bodyguard as well” I made that known to her. She pushed herself from my chest, blinking at me repeatedly before she said. “ Why? I don't think there is any need for you to do such, I mean, I have to keep thing
Nortia's POV I waited for him to give an answer while knowing that whatever it was that he had in mind wasn't going to be nice at all. I didn't want anything that would hurt him but I will be fine with showing him a lesson just so he wouldn't do it anymore. “ I wouldn't hurt him, but I will make sure he gets a punishment that will make him wish he is dead”“ Which is?” “ All the contracts he has with me or any of my affiliated companies,I am going to cancel them all”I gulped in, knowing that the company was meant to be mine from the start and any action he took now might affect me in the future. “ I know what you are thinking about,” he rested a palm on my cheek, massaging it gently. “ What is that?” “ That it will affect you, but it won't. You don't have to worry about it, I won't hurt you and that's it. I am going to make your uncle have regrets. You aren't in charge yet so you don't have to feel bad” He explained, I wanted to believe in his words, and in him because unlike
Alexis's POV I knew from the moment I had seen her that way it had to be just someone who could make her that way. I knew it would take time for her to fall in love with me but I was really hoping that it would happen soon enough. I needed her to fall for me and I will do the same for her. My feelings were raging and although I was yet to come to them with what they were, I knew she caused them all. Being with her was the reason why I had gone through so much feeling all at once, most of which felt foreign to me .“ Alexis” she whispered my name as I slipped my tongue in between her lips, wanting and tasting her. She was everything that I was supposed to stay away from, the fruit which wasn't supposed to be mine or close to me but I found myself drawn to her every single time. My hand cupped her boobs as I tugged her up before letting her go, just enough for her to catch her breath, she stood panting before she dropped to the floor. “If you are this way just because we had som
Nortia's POV Just like Alexis had said, when I was awake, they were right out there waiting for me. He hadn't even taken so long to find them, I thought it would take some time to do so but it seemed I had been wrong.I didn't want to think about how exactly last night had gone because he had looked so pissed but I knew I couldn't just move in with him. He wouldn't be able to make me have a change of heart and it was going to take more than just a plea to make that happen. “ Let's go,” I said to them. The guard sat at the passenger seat while I had to sit at the back. I guessed he was trying to make sure that I didn't go with the doctor, he was trying to cut off my communication with him and I didn't know if that was jealousy as well. “We will be going shopping later in the day,” the guard announced to me. “Will you be chanced, madam?” “ I wouldn't be” I guessed I had to get used to being called this way, I didn't know what my coworkers would say and how they would look at me
Nortia's POV Amend? That was like the last thing I was expecting to hear and there was also no way I was going to believe that. I scoffed, making sure that it was loud enough for him to hear, I could see his fist clenched before I answered. “ The last thing I think you will do is make amends, I don't believe an iota of what you just said” Samantha had her hands underneath her boobs as she gazed at me, eyes piercing through me. “ I know what you are possibly going to say, but you should know as well that there is no way we are going to give you anything else aside that, beside…” her shoulders went in a shrug. “ We are being lenient with you, who exactly would be able to do that with you if it isn't us?”“Stop it” her father admonished, giving her a gentle nudge on the arm as he did so “ Nortia, I shouldn't have treated you in such a way and I have only realized my mistake now, and it wouldn't happen ever again” he apologized. I couldn't sense the sincerity in those words he had
Nortia's POV The click of the door sent rage down my spine as I flipped my head round, taking a good look at him. “What do you think you are doing? Did you really trick me into coming here? Using your grandmother, is that how low you can go!” I raged at him, waiting for an answer when he chuckled, inching closer. “I knew you would be this way, but I am glad I got you here. Now tell me Nortia, why is it Alexis? How could you even get married to him? What exactly about him did you find so different that you had to end up with him?”“ Because he is better than you, for a start, he doesn't cheat and…” tiny ripple of cackles rented the air at what I had just said. “ You think he is better than me? Really? Can't you see? He saw you as someone easy to get and you fell into his trap, it's a trap Nortia, one that I can help you get away from, all you have to do is come back to me, I know there's no way you are married to him and…”“ I'm married to him” I answered, looking straight into hi
Alexis's POV My eyes went to the ruffled shirt she had on and the hand that wrapped themselves around her tightly and I gnashed my teeth. I hated how she was trying everything in her to piss me off when she wasn't supposed to do such, I seethed in rage which shimmered above me before my feet sauntered over to her. “ What's wrong?” I could see she was close to tears and she was trying hard not to let them fall. My gaze travelled to the doctor as I wondered if he was the one who had just her but I couldn't deduce anything right now. I swallowed, yanking her to myself, I asked again.“ What is wrong?” I waited for her to give an answer when they ran down her cheek, in torrent they did. “Back off, leave. Now!” I ordered, my voice booming across as I said to them. They scampered away, the doctor, the guard and her driver as well. My anger evaporated when she squeezed my shirt, grasping it so tight that my hands fell to her lower back. I shook my head, trying so hard not to think ba
Alexis's POVMy feet glided across the pathway, eyes heavy as I sauntered through waiting to know what exactly had prompted such a behavior. My father wants one who will do something as such, he wasn't one to take action impromptu, and as such I needed to know why he had done so. My feet halted just across the driveway where he stood, a back against me. “ What do you want? What have you over here and at such an ungodly hour?”“ You sold our shares?” “ Did I?” He turned to me, his face blank while he was mute. “ Don't you know what is happening? You ought to have known about it, the shareholders, you really have no clue about it?”A heave left his lips, so deep that I heard him before I bridged the gap between us. “ I didn't even know that he would do such, your uncle wanted it and he came to me and…”“ He sold it?”“ He did” I could tell the regret that laced his lips, the one that made him wish he hadn't been so soft toward his family, the one who he had gotten from getting mar
Alexis's POV I could tell by the way she glanced at me that all she was thinking about was how I must have messed up when I haven't even done such a thing. A sigh left my lips as I made to touch her shoulders which she evaded, taking a step backward. It hadn't even gotten to that yet. “ I'm listening” she whistled, hands tucked behind her as she did so. “ Say what you intended to say,” she added, still waiting. “ It's nothing big, your phone” I could tell by how the light kept going off that she must be having countless messages at the moment, I had seen her take pictures of the decorations and the flower bouquet and she must have posted it. It had been no biggie as I had seen it online, seen how most Ladies swooned over it and I thought I should do the same and when her eyes glowed, I knew I had made the right choice. “ What is it about her?” She pulled me out of my reverie, bringing me back to the issue at hand. “ You said something about Charity?”“ You haven't seen it yet?
Nortia's POVMy life on the line? I held a snort at what I had just heard, wanting to make sure it had been a mistake because it had to be that as there was no way he would have been right. I know I hadn't gotten the time to gloss through, but even at that, I didn't expect that there would be anything in there which would put my life at risk. I wasn't going to lie, goosebumps trailed my arms but I kept my thoughts back down, not wanting them to come up. The ones that I would be ruining things before I even started or rather before we even started. “Where did you get this?” Alexis asked again, this time his voice firmer than the last, he was putting it back into my bag, still looking around like he was trying to make sure that no one was looking and no one had noticed. “ I am fine” I assured, not wanting to look at what was going on, it was all too natural to me. I had seen it and had taken it because I knew it would be vital which also wasn't enough reason for him to act this way
Nortia's POV I wasn't one to dig too deep but I knew I couldn't let this go, there had to be something that I had to do and whatever it was,I needed to do so fast. The gray color splashed on the wall of the office and the leather chair only confirmed what my uncle had said, I didn't have any power in there. I was relegated to the background and what had he called me? ‘A figurehead” A hand clasped around my mouth as I tried to muffle the cackle when my assistant walked in with bulks of documents which he dropped on the table. “ What's that?” I questioned, turning my attention to look at what it was when he glanced at the folders, the manilla files that filled the table. “ These?” He glanced at them before storming out without giving me an answer. I tapped my feet on the marble tiles thinking of how I was to take this in when my eyes caught the manilla file which contained financial reports of the previous year. I tried to keep my hands to myself but damned it on the second tho
Nortia's POV The glances on their faces told me they weren't expecting me and I knew that they had planned something else behind my back or rather, they were about to. Taking the seat just across from my uncle, I paid no heed to the scoffs and whispers as I did. My uncle gnashed his teeth beside me but that was only going to be the first, because I had numerous things in mind to make him pay for. Hopefully, my presence here will make things better. If he decided to do anything contrary to what I was expecting, I would have a great time thwarting whatever plan it was they had. “ Well” I glanced around, making sure everyone met my eyes before locking both hands together. “ What was it that you were talking about that had you chatting so amicably?” I threw it at them waiting for an answer but it seems they were all tongue tied. I didn't expect my uncle to change so soon, na, the devil will always have his spit and my uncle was no different, but even at that, I had expected him to ke
Nortia's POVThose words, the one where he had urged me to go ahead and conquer was something I hadn't been told, I knew everything about him felt so different. It was difficult to place my hand on these emotions, the different ones that filled my mind but I nodded anyway, listening to what he was saying. I guess this was what it meant to have a father, that space in you that outweighs every single thing, I was tempted to have him in my arms, let him yank me into his while patting my back, and as hard as I tried, I couldn't make the move to do so, so when he approached, grasping me closer to himself, my hand fell limp by my side. “ Thank you” I mouthed out in gratitude, chewing on my lips before I added. “Father” He yanked me away immediately, placing tender kisses on my forehead before he looked above my shoulders. “Will you be going with her?” He directed at Alexis. “ No, I can handle this myself. He has a company to tend to and I wouldn't want to disrupt anything” I explaine
Alexis's POV I watched, all of the discussions, a hand draped across my wife's waist as I listened to her interaction with Samantha who obviously had lost what I would have termed as shame. One would have thought that being caught on camera would have them standing back and staying out of the public but I guess you can't beat the shameless. She looked like she was going to lurge toward my wife and I waited for her to do so, I wasn't going to fight but I knew Nortia was no pushover either. She might have been before me but not anymore. Now, she was a woman of herself, one who could handle them by herself needing little or no help from me. “What did you just say?” Maxwell was the one who had asked while Samantha's eyes fell to the ground before she held Maxwell's. “She killed who?” “George” Nortia's voice reverberated, bouncing off against the wall as she repeated, her lips curled into a smirk. Maxwell's face flinched before he turned to Samantha demanding. “You killed him? Not
Nortia's POVI didn't know where I had gotten the nerves but I sat still, peering at him as I pondered on what he would do. He slammed his lips over mine, sliding his tongue in between my lips as he kissed me, a hand wrapped around my waist. “Alex” I muttered, racking a hand through his hair as I did, throwing caution to the wind. His hands ran through me before he knelt, lips on my boobs and he sucked, flickered, and licked it. My toes curled as I threw my head backward, the tension weaving through me while I tried to muster out the words that had stuck in my lips. A bit on my boobs sent tiny jolts crackling through me before I let out a heave barely trying to grasp him onto myself. “You look….” He had pulled away, taking a proper glance at me as he did. “Astonishing” My clit pursed at his words, when he slipped a finger in-between my legs, still maintaining his gaze at me. Nudging me gently against the bed, a yelp left my lips as he straddled me before positioning his cock i
Nortia's POVI had a hand wrapped around myself as I peered outside, glancing so hard against the vast greenery which laid in front of me while envisioning Alexis walking up to me, wrapping a hand around my waist before snuggling against my neck. The hand tightened even closer before I let out a sigh at how desperately futile everything would turn out to be. The presenter spoke in the background, William's shares were stabilized while the Louis kept depleting with each moment that passed. I knew I had decided to meet with Samantha but I had a second thought at the last minute, she should be made to suffer even if it was a tiny bit on what she had done. She had killed someone, one who didn't hold anything against her and I would be stupid to go right now, telling her not to fall into her father's cocooned lies. To think those were all sentiments, he was the last person I thought would hurt her, because I knew he loved her so well, so why would he want to make her pay for this? M
