Natasha’s POVIt’s been days since my plan went through and the pauper got kicked out of the house, but why hasn’t anything changed? I am still starved of Raymond’s attention and the maids have suddenly lost enthusiasm for their jobs. They go about taking my orders like robots, with no ounce of emotion when I call them derogatory names nor any fear when I threaten to fire them.To make matters worse, Raymond always comes home late. He is either too stressed to keep me company or too busy with some work he brought from the office. “I wonder when he will be returning today” I said to myself and took a quick glance at the pink gold Cartier watch around my wrist.I got on my feet when I heard the sound of the door passcode being punched in. He was back. Before I made it to the door, Alex pulled in with a drunken Raymond.“Hi” Alex said and proceeded with Raymond upstairs.“Hi” I managed to mutter as I stared at the unbelievable sight before me.Did my supposed fiancée drink to stupor
Raymond’s POVI woke up the next morning with little to no knowledge of what had transpired the previous night.I had a hot bath and threw on a white cardigan over a pair of dark blue and white loose trousers. I went down stairs for breakfast and Natasha was already at the dining table waiting.Her face lit up immediately when she saw me.“Good morning” She greeted me in a light enthusiastic voice.“Good morning” I pulled a chair directly opposite her.“Did you sleep well?” She leaned in with a strange smile, as if trying to pass a message.“Yes, I did”“Of course you did” Natasha used the tip of her toes to tickle my balls under the take.I jerked when she did that and looked around to be sure no one saw us.“About what happened last night—” I started when everything came fluttering in my head.“You owe me a quickie after breakfast” Natasha muttered in a sultry tone and bit her succulent bottom lip.My attention was drawn to her mouth when she bit her lip, it caused my dick to twi
Eric’s POVThe conference room buzzed with words like ‘Kirk’ and ‘Smith Larson’. It was so bad that my head began to ache.Kirk is a company owned by some thug turned wanna-be fashion brand. And out of all the fashion brands in the US, Kirk chose my company to be its core rival. If he wasn’t some desperate man with a bad reputation, maybe I would have found that to be an honor, but what business do I have with a guy who does and gets everything he wants the wrong and illegal way?Just last week, he spread fake rumors of me being in a relationship, good thing no one figured who Pollen really is else it would have been messier than it got. Now he is giving Smith Larson an impossible offer just so he can lay his hands on a contract worth billions of dollars. I have tried to look away, but the money involved and the fact that Larson is a good man who didn’t deserve to waste such an amount of money is making it hard to overlook.It’s more unsettling to know that Kirk knows who Pollen is,
Pollen’s POV“What do you mean it’s not that serious?” I trailed behind Mia as she walked out of the living room trying to avert my question.“Mia, how could you condone abuse? You are even making excuses for him!”“I am not making excuses. He didn’t abuse me, we just had a little argument one time and he lost control. That was it!”“That’s a lie. It wasn’t a one time thing Mia, you and I know that”“Pollen, can you please stop?” She spun to face me angrily.I froze in my tracks. Confused about what to do with her sudden rage. I didn’t intend to offend her, I was only looking out for her.“I’m sorry. But I can’t turn a blind eye to this. You are my friend and I will do everything within my power to protect you”“Protect me from what exactly?”“From Nathan”“Ugh!” She grunted and threw herself on the sofa. “Sooth yourself”I went to sit beside and took her hand, like she would if I was in her shoes.“I know you think I’m making a mountain out of nothing, but you should know that I’m j
Raymond’s POV“Wait, she met with Daniel three days after your date with her?”I nodded in reply.“How sure are you that the baby isn’t that asshole’s” Lamar chimed in.“Hey. Come on. She isn’t that stupid. How can she do something like that?”Alex said dismissively.“You are joking right? Seems a woman hasn’t dealt with you. You think I just sleep around without committing to any of them because I enjoy being a player?”“What are you saying bro? We all sleep around except for him” by him he meant me.“And that’s because he is busy building empires,” Alex added.“You don’t get it do you?”“How can I when you won’t go straight to the point”“Okay. Women are vile, more vile than us the males”“And?” Alex asked impatiently.“They’ll do anything to get you to commit”“Isn’t that in their nature?”“Can you let me speak?”“Alex” I called and Alex raised both hands in the air, indicating he surrendered.“Once they are able to get you to commit, they unravel the evil plans they have for you. A
Pollen’s POVIt has been days and Mia was bent on making me attend some dumb reunion. Why should I go to a reunion where I know nothing but show off and poking of old wounds would take place? Not like any of them like me anyway. I will only get ridiculed and reminded of how I foolishly professed my ‘undying love’ for Chad even though I knew he was too good for an ugly, nerdy girl like me. Let’s not even talk about Hailey and her little demons. Even though I had put them in their place, all thanks to Raymond, I don't want to have anything to do with them again.I want my past to remain where it is, and forever be buried there.“Come on” Mia followed me from the bedroom to the kitchen where I went to wash my coffee mug.“There is nothing for me there, besides I’m pregnant”“And hot!” “What?”“You are pregnant and hot”“Find someone else to lie to”“I’m not”Mia pulled me away from the sink and dragged me all the way to the mirror in the bedroom.“Look at you” She stood beside me as w
Pollen’s POV“You look amazing. You'll attract unnecessary attention if you are too conscious of yourself” Mia said when we came out of the car.“My stomach isn’t showing right?”“No. How can it show when you are in a loose fitting dress?” She said, a pinch of frustration in her voice.I dragged in deep breaths before venturing into the thresholds of the magnificent hotel the reunion was scheduled to hold.Mia walked with a great sense of elegance and I was urged to do better with my own steps. When we approached the receptionist, she greeted the beautiful lady at the front desk and asked for directions to the restaurant where it was happening.“You just go straight, and take your left. You’ll find your way from there” She said with a smile.“Thank you” Mia smiled at her, and I did the same.Just like the receptionist said, we spotted a few of our schoolmates when we took the left turn. My stomach churned when they all turned one after the other to look at us.“Isn’t that Mia?” I hear
Natasha’s POV“Thank you” The words left my mouth before I even realized it.Did I just thank Raymond, my fiancé, for sex?Well, you wouldn’t blame me. Raymond was the best so far out of all the men I’ve been with. He didn’t only have a big member, but he equally knew how to use it. I used to think I had a high libido, but today just made it obvious that the men who have pleasured me didn’t know their way around my body.Now that I have tasted what he feels like, the need to keep him to myself heightened. That pauper, and every other women should better stay clear if they want to live.Raymond carried me to the couch and lay me there with great care. He proceeded to the bathroom in his study to clean up, then he returned with a warm towel.“Thank you” I stretched my hand to get the towel from him, but he gently pushed my hand away and knelt beside me to clean me up.All I could do was marvel. Not like I haven’t been treated this way, but I had never envisaged Raymond to have a side as
