***MIRABELLA'S POV***“He's injured pretty badly. He got into an accident on his way home.” Lola responded and my heart skipped a beat.“Send me the address of the hospital. I'll be there—”“He's actually home, ma'am.” Lola responded, cutting me off and I furrowed my brows.“What?! Didn't you just say he got into an accident?” I asked with a frown.“He is being treated by the family doctor.” She replied and I let out a sigh.“Take me home.” I instructed the driver and he maneuvered the vehicle, taking a U-turn.We got home minutes later and I dashed out of the car, instructing the driver to take Alfred to his room. I met Lola pacing in the living room and she let out a heavy sigh the moment she saw me.“How is he? Where is he?” I asked, my voice laced with panic.“He is in his study.” I bobbed at Lola before heading to the study and a frown settled on my face when I saw Dad sitting on his chair and going through some documents.He had a light bandage on his head and a few scratches
***MIRABELLA'S POV*** I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by three familiar faces, Mom, Roman and Lola. “What happened?” I asked slowly as I tried to sit up. Roman helped me up immediately. “You almost gave me a heart attack, that's what happened.” Mom said, her tone was a bit harsh with a mix of sadness in them. “I told you to take it easy, ma'am. The test results are not out yet but I'm certain you collapsed from exhaustion.” Lola said with a sad expression. At that moment, the door came open and the doctor walked in. “How are you feeling, Ms. Brookwood?” He asked with a warm smile. “I feel fine doctor. Can I get discharged today?” “Of course but can you tell us what happened before you collapsed?” He asked while staring at me keenly. “I had a killer headache and the next thing I knew I was waking up here.” I replied and he hummed a response. “What's your sleeping routine? Do you work late hours?” He asked and I slowly bobbed my head. “And have you been under a lot o
***LOGAN'S POV***I stared at my phone for a while waiting for her response but then it became obvious she wasn't going to respond. I let out a soft chuckle as I placed the phone on the table and leaned back on my chair.“Mirabella Brookwood, you still remain a mystery to me.” I said while tapping my fingers on the table. I heard a slight knock on the door and then it got pulled open, revealing my right hand man, Eduardo.“Boss, I have the information you requested.” He said as he made his way to my table and placed an envelope on it.“Wonderful.” I said with a smile as I opened the envelope and brought out the documents and the attached photos.“Easton was able to secure a huge partnership with Hillgates Company and Delta G's chats have skyrocketed ever since then. Also, his ex-wife was present during the trip and it seems they've been spending a lot of time together too.” He explained as I glanced through the photos.“It does appear so. The kid seems really attached to Easton too.”
***NICOLE'S POV***I clicked my glass with Charlotte's before taking a sip. We were celebrating my successful mission in tying Easton down to me. “I knew you had it in you. Now all you have to do is make the public aware. The Grey family cares a lot about their reputation. Once you make it known that you're carrying his child, his parents would have no other choice but to let you two get married.” Charlotte said with a knowing grin and I smiled in satisfaction.“And then once we're married, I can fake having a miscarriage and win Easton's sympathy once more. We'll eventually have another baby along the way but even before then, I'll officially be Mrs. Nicole Grey.” I beamed and sipped my wine, letting out a soft giggle.The thought of finally being married to Easton, I just couldn't wait!But now here comes the hard part, getting the news online. “How do you suggest I go public with our relationship?” I turned to Charlotte with a curious gaze.“It's simple, have him invite you to a
***EASTON'S POV***I picked up the bottle of tequila and filled up my glass while struggling to keep my eyes open. “Haven't you had enough already?” Kyle asked but he doesn't stop me from drinking it. We are seated at the balcony of my room, under the night sky. I had called him over as I needed someone to talk to, more like vent to cause I felt angry, frustrated and heartbroken at the same time.I heard about Mirabella's father's accident and went over to see him after work but they didn't let me in. I even got to learn from one of the maids that Mirabella had collapsed that same day.I was so worried that I had to see her but they said I was the cause of her stress. Mrs. Martha wouldn't even look me in the eyes anymore, it's like she hates me now for constantly hurting her daughter.Roman gave me a clear warning to stay away from her. I could vividly remember our encounter.***FLASHBACK***I rushed out of the car and walked over to the front porch, ringing the doorbell somewhat de
***ROMAN'S POV***I nervously rubbed my hands together as I awaited Mirabella in the living room. I couldn't understand why I was nervous, this is all I had ever wanted and though I knew it wasn't really a real date, just the thought of spending some alone time with her gave me hope.I heard footsteps approaching and slowly turned towards the stairs and there she was, descending the stairs ever so gracefully, her red heels clicking against the fine blocks.I couldn't take my eyes off her no matter how hard I tried, and it felt like the world had been placed on stand still, leaving only Mirabella and me. She wore a breathtaking, off-the-shoulder red gown made of high quality silk. The vibrant red color was deep and rich, exuding elegance and sophistication. Her neckline was adorned with an emerald red necklace, adding a touch contract. I smiled brightly as I stared at her gorgeous face which had light makeup on it. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and the hard pounding
***NICOLE'S POV***The sound of shattering glass echoed in the room as I violently smashed the mirror on the wall. I couldn't stand seeing my reflection on it. It reminded me of the day I got kidnapped by Logan's men.I was tempted to call Easton and warn him against Logan but his threats stopped me every time. I never got to find out about his history with Easton and why he hated the Grey family so much but I knew that he was back for his revenge. He had been silent all these while, and I had almost forgotten about him.I can't just let him ruin my plans. If he hurts Easton before we're married, then it'll be over. My years of effort will be flushed down the drain just like that.No, I need to find a way to stop him, probably something to blackmail him with but I knew better than to do that. He can have me killed with a single snap of his fingers.“Damn it!” I tugged violently at my hair as I paced my room, ignoring the glass on the floor.What do I do? How can I persuade Easton to m
***EASTON'S POV*** “Sir, are you listening?” Emma's voice snapped me out of my trance and I shifted my gaze to her. "Sorry what were you saying?" I asked with a perplexed expression. “I was just reminding you about your three O'clock meeting with Mr. Alex Chain from Hillgates Company.” Emma replied and I bobbed my head. “Let me know when it's three then.” I responded and she pressed her lips into a thin line. “What is it?” I asked when I noticed she wasn't moving. “It's already three, Sir. I came to remind you of the meeting.” She stated rather hesitantly and I gave her a faint smile. “Oh is that so? I'll be there shortly.” I said and she bobbed her head before leaving my office. I let out a frustrated sigh as I tugged at my hair roughly. I have been zoning out more often these days and I didn't want that to be too obvious. I just couldn't stop myself from thinking about Mirabella and how to make things right between us. I was also worried about her health so far. Was she alri
~KIARA~ The rest of the week was a blast. Phoenix and I really bonded over a short period of knowing each other. She was wild, more wild than myself but really cool. We had a lot in common too, including our undying love for fashion.“My boyfriend is hosting a party tonight. Wanna come?” Phoenix asked me as we both battled each other in a game of street fighter.I decided to hang out at her place after our classes were over.“I think I'll pass. I promised to spend the night with my sis —”“Are you her babysitter? Come on, Kiki. I'm talking lots of drinks, yummy snacks and hot guys! How can you possibly turn this down over a night with your sis when you can spend the rest of your life with her?” Phoenix probed and I let out a sigh.I did say she was wild.The offer was great but I wasn't interested in hot guys. I just wanted one - Gabriel. And so far, I've been doing a really shitty job at getting him to fall for me. I haven't even seen him ever since he showed up at the apartment, an
~KIARA~It was as though the air in my lungs had vanished and I was suddenly breathless, my heart thudding violently against my chest and I could feel the palm of my hands getting wet. Why was I so nervous? I guess I wasn't expecting to see him first thing upon my arrival.“Hey, Kiddo. Sandy told me she would be here, so I came to pick her up.” Gabriel said with a small smile on those deliciously looking lips of his — godmanit what's wrong with me!“Oh... Um, she left a while ago.” I stuttered so badly that I wished the ground would just swallow me whole.But then it suddenly hit me. Sandy did this on purpose! Else why would she ask Gabriel to pick her up when she had her own wheels and she literally rushed out of the apartment. I bet she didn't even need to go to the clinic today.“Oh, well in that case —”“Would you like to come in?” I asked, cutting him off. I mean if Sandy wanted to play matchmaker, then I might as well make the most of it.“Sure.” He shrugged and I stepped as
~KIARA~I took a deep breath as I crossed the main gates of Ousen University, a bright smile on my face. I was finally in Ousen! My transfer application got approved a month ago, and now I was to complete my registration before finally being seen as an official Ousen student.“First day here?” I turned to the side and noticed a girl standing next to me. Her appearance took me aback at first but at second glance, it settled in.Her hair was a mix of purple and black, parted at the side and stopped just above her shoulders. She wore a black strapless crop top and light blue bum short, and had a bird tattoo on her shoulder which stopped some distance before her elbow, and lastly, a nose piercing.She was giving off gothic vibes and at first glance, one would think she was a meanie but I wasn't one to judge people based on appearance... Well since Natasha of course.“How did you know?” I asked with a slight smile.“You're standing at the gates with a bright smile on your face as though y
~SANDY~“Sandy, take me with you when next you go to meet your aunt.” Kiara suddenly blurted out and I turned to her with a smile.“You sure?”“Of course. I want to meet your cousins and who knows, Andrew might just be my type.” She squirled and I chuckled softly.“Over Gabriel already?” I asked her with a smirk and she stared at me in shock, her expression laced with panic as her eyes darted around the living room as though searching for someone or something.“Why would you say that out loud? What if Alfred heard you?” She asked worriedly.“Heard what?” Alfred walked in that moment and Kiara's face lost all colors.We were both in the living room, watching a movie and chatting. It's been ages since we spent time together this way and I decided to make the most of every little time at hand.Hailey had suddenly gone back home due to an emergency and we haven't heard from her for almost a week now.I really hope she was doing alright as this was unlike her to be unreachable for so long.
~SANDY~As disappointed as I was that I couldn't get my release, my priority at that moment was chasing after Kiara who had run out of the room after obviously being traumatized by what she had just seen.“Kiara, Kiara!” I yelled out her name but she kept running until she reached the living room before I finally caught up with her, dragging her back by her hand.“What were you thinking, Sandy?! I know I wanted you and my brother to be together but not like this! He's engaged for goodness sake!” Kiara scolded me but I simply smiled at her, happy she wasn't upset based on me being with Alfred but rather because she thought he was still engaged.“Kiara —”“Don't try to reason with me. I'm telling Mom right now so you two don't have to suffer anymore. If you're too much of a coward to make your relationship public then I will!” She snapped, cutting me off and was about to walk away but I pulled her back again.“Kiara it's not like that —”“Don't try to tell me it's not what I think. I cl
~SANDY~I smiled the moment we walked out of the airport, inhaling the fresh cool breeze that was blowing non-stop.We were finally back in New York and it felt like I had been gone forever.“You ready?” Alfred asked as he walked up to me, taking my hand in his and I bobbed my head in response, a bright smile on my face.We got to the mansion soon enough and Alfred rang the doorbell which opened shortly after, revealing a rather grumpy Kiara.Her face lit up the moment she saw me and she ran past Alfred as she engulfed me in a tight hug.“Sandy! My gosh you're finally back.” She beamed and I hugged her back tightly.“It's good to see you too, Kiki.” Alfred sighed and Kiara turned to him with a small smile.“Since you brought Sandy back in one piece, I guess I'm happy to see you too.” She responded before dragging me into the house.Mr. Easton had just settled down on the dining table, ready to have his breakfast when his gaze landed on us.“Sandy?” He called just to be certain and I b
~SANDY~ I slowly opened my eyes, feeling sore all over, especially between my legs. I felt a heavy weight like a blanket keeping me still and slowly realized it was Alfred's big arms wrapped protectively around me. My cheeks flushed as the memories of last night resurfaced. I couldn't believe what we did, what I did last night. It was as though I had been possessed by a lustful sex driven demon or something that just couldn't get enough of it. I slowly turned around, trying not to wake Alfred up. He was still fast asleep and looked utterly worn out. I did that. I must have drained him out last night, and to think it was actually my first time! “Did you sleep well?” His hoarse voice resonated in the room and I widened my eyes in shock. How long has he been awake?! He slowly opened his eyes, his beautiful hazel green eyes meeting my gaze. “Good morning.” He smiled at me and I found myself burying my face in the sheets. I didn't know how to face him after what happened. I didn'
~ALFRED~ As Sandy rode me, my hands found her hips, guiding her as she increased the pace, her breathy moans mingling with mine. We were two halves of a whole, our bodies moving in perfect harmony as we chased our release. “I love you!” She cried out, her body shuddering as she came, her inner walls clamping down on my cock. But she didn't stop, instead continuing to ride me with renewed fervor. I realized in that moment that I had unleashed a horny, sex-starved beast within Sandy. Sandy’s hunger for me was insatiable. As I tried to catch my breath, she reached for my hand and placed it on her breasts, urging me to pinch and twist her nipples as she rode me. “Oh, yes baby!” She moaned out while I cursed under my breath, letting out low groans of pleasure. My hips bucked against her, matching her frantic pace as I lost myself in the waves of ecstasy. I groaned as I came inside her once more, my release mingling with hers as we collapsed onto the bed in a sweaty heap. But
~ALFRED~ I broke the kiss after what seemed like forever, giving Sandy room to catch her breath as I leaned my head against hers. “This is your chance to back down, Sandra Willows. If we keep going at this rate, I won't stop until I've claimed all of you, every inch of you, and every fiber in your body as mine.” I warned but the look in her eyes told me she wanted this just as much as I did. “Take me, Alfred. I want you. All of you.” She breathed and I reconnected our lips almost immediately, this time in a more gentle kiss. I lifted her up in one swift motion, walking towards the dinning table and gently placing her on it without breaking the kiss. The kiss was a slow burn, our lips moving together in a sensual dance. I savored the taste of Sandy's lips, drinking in her moans and sighs as my hands roamed her body. Her skin was soft beneath my touch, her curves fitting perfectly into my palms. I felt her hands grip my shoulders, her fingers digging into my skin as our kiss intens
