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
Eric’s POVI took Pollen to the front seat of my car, parked in front of the hotel building and returned to the driver’s seat.“Are you okay?” I asked.I tilted her face to look at me, tucking away the light curly locks of hair that were intentionally dropped on both sides of her face while the rest was packed in a beautiful curly bun.“I’m— I’m fine” She managed to say while staring back at me.Her eyes looked calm and sparkly like she was going to cry at any moment.“Are you sure you don’t want us to see a Doctor?” I persisted.“I’m really okay. Just worried about my friend” She said with genuine concern.“You don’t have to worry about that. I already asked someone to bail her. She will be home with you tonight” I assured her.“Thank you so much” She gave a weak smile.“For what?”“For helping me in that situation. I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened” Her voice held so much fear and worry that all I wanted to do was hold her and console her.I noticed her hand went
Natasha’s POVEver since Raymond and I did it, my mood and mind seemed to have improved. I was always smiling over dumb things that aren’t even funny. Even the maids could walk around without feeling like they were walking on eggshells, I could tell by the way they showered me with compliments every now and then.“Getting rid of that pauper is the wisest thing I’ve done this year” I mumbled to myself as I went through my last designs for PrimRose.“I bet they’ll notice the changes as well” I laughed at my own joke about PrimRose noticing some improvements.I was still scrutinizing the designs for any possible flaws when my phone started to buzz.I peered at it and saw that the caller ID says ‘Susan’.“Looks like these clowns have successfully carried out their first assignment” “How did it go? Were you guys able to pull it off?” I asked immediately I answered the phone.“No” Was the first thing I heard, and it made my face contort into that of rage.“What? What do you mean?”“It bac
Pollen’s POV“Pollen, Pollen, please hear me out." Mia held on to the box that contained my belongings as I fought to drag it out of the bedroom.I was leaving Mia; staying with her will only cause me more troubles. What she did last night was a clear example of her inability to keep to her words and also listen to others when they say 'no.’How could she boldly spew everything I made her swear secrecy to like it was nothing? Knowing fully well that I was going to be in trouble.“I swear with my life, I didn’t realize when I said all that. I was too engulfed in rage and a strong desire to make Hailey have a taste of her own medicine,” Mia explained.“I am sorry. Forgive me for being carried away.”“Mia, I have forgiven you, but I can no longer stay here.”“Then you haven’t forgiven me. You have not” she stressed, not letting go of my bag frond moment.“Mia, I can’t stay here; you have breached the trust I had for you. And there is nothing I can do about it.”“Give a chance to earn it
Pollen’s POV I arrived at the mansion at exactly 2:30 pm. The water fountain that used to give an extra touch of elegance to the gigantic building had been drained and wrapped with fountain covers.I was covered in a warm cream sweater and black leather pants. With every step I took towards the main entrance, snowflakes shattered with gentle crunch, like stepping on delicate eggshells.I tried the passcode I knew, and the door gave me access.In the living room, Raymond was drinking from a squared glass; he was dressed in black pants and black long-sleeved shirts neatly tucked in. He was slouched over the table with one of his hands holding the glass of whisky while the other hung out lazily.“Hi. You wanted to see me,” I mumbled.When he didn’t utter a word, I etched closer.“Are you alright?” I asked.In response to everything I had said, Raymond threw the glass at me, it swung past just above my shoulder and smashed against the wall. I screamed in terror, my head spinning and my
Mark’s POV“Emilia, I should be going home today,” I called out to her from where I was sprawled in the sitting room watching TV.“Why are you leaving so soon? It hasn’t even been up to a week since you came around.” Emilia came out of the kitchen and handed me a glass of detoxification smoothie.“You seem to forget I have a company to run.”“Anyone who doesn’t know of your cousin will think you are ladened with the whole responsibility of running the company.”“Really? Is that what you have to say?” I stared at her thick body in a sexy, lacy, transparent nightdress. The neck was a v-cut that revealed most of her bouncy boobs, while the lacy flared bottom made the black thong she was wearing underneath visible.“Thank you,” I murmured as my eyes feasted on her sumptuous body at the same time, trying to drink from the glass of smoothie.Just when the glass touched my lips, she took it from me and kept it on the small table by the side.She climbs on top of me, her eyes looking into m
Pollen’s POV When the cab pulled up at Mia’s place, I paid the fare and brought out my belongings. They were too many to carry, so I called Mia over the phone to come help me.Mia rushed out of the building with Laura trailing behind. As soon as I saw Laura I adjusted my sleeves. The thought of her finding out I had nearly been strangled to death gave me a pang of embarrassment, and I could understand what Mia meant earlier.“Are you okay?” Mia paused in her tracks when she saw me.Laura, on the other hand, took the bag I was carrying in my hand without a word.“I’m okay,” I nodded, but it was obvious that I wasn't, no matter how much I tried to conceal it.They carried all my luggage to the house, and Laura made me hot chocolate when we got inside.“Thank you,” I mumbled as my hands hurriedly wrapped around the hot mug for warmth.I saw Mia signal to Laura to go inside the bedroom.“Are you alright?” Mia squatted in front of me.“I—” The tears I have been battling not to she rolled
