It was late when I was done with all the work Constantine ordered me to finish before I went home, as I stepped out of my office Constantine also walked out of his office and we both had to enter the same elevator. The air was so tense throughout I had to pretend I was speaking to someone on the phone, when the elevator got to the ground floor we both stepped out.
"Have a good night sir" I said walking away, i was walking to the bus top so I could catch a bus that will take me home.
"Enter the car" I stopped and looked back and Constantine was on his phone.
"Sorry sir, I can go home on my own" I said forcing a smile
"Enter the car now and that is not a request it's an order, do not let me repeat myself" his eyes had a look of warning.
I entered the car and as the driver started driving away I moved far away from Constantine I sat very close to door with my he
The next morning I wake up and do a little morning workout and then I clean the house and lazy about for the rest of the day. By six pm I start preparing for the movie date with Jason, I wear a simple short gown and sandals as I'm applying lipgloss the doorbell rings. It must be Jason I apply my lipgloss and grab my purse and go out to meet Jason. "You look so pretty" Jason compliments "Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself" He opens the door for me and drives us to the cinema, Jason pays for our tickets we grab our popcorn and a cold drink and enter to see the movie. During the movie Jason puts his hands around my shoulder and pulls me to his chest, I didn't complain because I was so cold I forgot to wear something that prevent cold . We watched 'Conjuring 3 the devil made me do it' it just came out and I really enjoyed it, I
Constantine's POV I know that the way i'm treating Eulalia might be wrong but I do not know why my feelings heighten any time she's around me. I feel like Euli has so much control over me and I don't like it, I didn't get to where I'm today by letting a woman make me putty in her hands. I stepped out of my office after a while to apologize to Euli for the way I dismissed her after we did a few nasty stuffs, I knocked twice on her office door and opened it but she wasn't there. I came out of the elevator at the ground floor and I saw Euli and a young guy I was sure is working in my company, he had good features and I don't know but the thought of Eulalia having feelings for him, caused a tightening in my chest it just didn't feel good at all and I wasn't going to let that happen. I walked over to them. "We have a meeting to attend now, get your
I get home and pull my coat and hang it, then I go to my room to freshen up. I think about the events of today, how Constantine was acting so weird. My phone starts ringing and it's Francis. "Hey big head, what's up?" " I hope you are already on your way cause we are there already" "I'm coming, i'll be there in about thirty minutes" I lie "You better" Francis said I hurriedly enter my bathroom, shower , dress up and pick up the wine I bought for dad before leaving my house. I got to dad's house and I enter without knocking "See who we have here" Gabe shouted he was the first to notice me. "Firecracker" my dad
I woke up this morning with a headache, I wasn't able to get a good night's rest last night because I had that dirty dream.Why is Constantine steadily bugging my mind? Why can't I stop having this dirty thought?I brush my teeth and make breakfast today is Sunday and I plan to stay in my bed all day finishing up on my work. After I'm done eating my breakfast I take my laptop and go back into my room and jump on my bed.I work for almost the whole day, I finish around evening time and I decide to take a shower. I come out of the bathroom with my towel around my body when I hear my doorbell ring and it's Mandy."Hey, babes" Mandy struts in. "Have you found the dress you are wearing out this night?" she asks"No Mandy and I told you that I just want to sleep all day why can't you just let me be, you pest!" I groan"Let's find a dress for you" she completely ignores my earlier complaint and goes into my little closet
The sun shines directly on my face as I open my eyes, the bed is very comfy and I had a good night's rest, the best I've had in a really long while.I hear voices outside, I go into the bathroom wash my mouth, clean up and walk downstairs to find Constantine and a girl with blond hair and brown eyes arguing. She was waving her hands all over the place like she was demonstrating, it seemed like they were arguing. I walk in and they both turn to go quiet and turn to look at me."Hey" I greet"Hey, I'm Alice Constantine's childhood friend," she says"I'm Eulalia, Constantine's PA" I reply giving a kind smile, just being friendly in general."Constantine you really have eyes for the pretty ones, cus girl you fine as hell" she teases and I blush at her words."Grab your stuff I'll drop you off," Constantine tells me"No don't stress I know my way home," I tell him annoyed.So he wants me out of his house so he
Constantine entered the door and shut it behind him and dragged me by my waist before smashing his lips down on mine, I opened my mouth letting him deepen the kiss "Where is the bedroom?" He asked me his eyes filled with lust "The door by the right" I responded He lifted me in his arms and walked into the bedroom and set me down on my feet before bringing his lips back on mine, he kissed me more passionately than before, he was kissing me with so much need and desire. He takes his hand to the hem of my shirt and pulls it over my head leaving my breasts bare while I worked on the buttons of his shirt. His chest was more beautiful than I had imagined, he had a lion tattoo on the right side of his chest, it was so beautiful. I kissed it He pushes me onto the bed hovering over me, he kisses me on my neck biting it softly before moving to my breasts. He gives kisses to the center of my breast before taking a hardened bud in his mouth and tugging on it with his teeth gently "Ahhh" the
The blinding light from the curtain shone in my eyes causing me to turn to the other side yawning. I winced at the soreness in my limbs, I touched the other side of the bed and it was cold. I sat on the bed and the events of last night came rushing to me I slept with Constantine But where was he? Did he leave already? I checked the time and I was supposed to be on my way to work. I checked the living room and kitchen but he was nowhere to be found he probably left. I took a shower and dressed up for work. I picked coffee from the café and stepped into the office building "Good morning Sam" I greeted the receptionist with a smile which she returned "Good morning Euli" she responded with a smile " I trust you had a nice night?" She said It's as if my heart stopped beating when she said that. Did she know I slept with the boss?, Did he announce it to everybody?. I thought of different things "Are you alright?" She asked interrupting my thoughts "you look pale?" "No, nothing is
After that stunt Constantine pulled yesterday, I was not sure about myself around him so I was avoiding him. I'm not going to make a fool of myself until he decides what he wants.I sat in my office just staring at the computer, I did not realize I had completely zoned off until the telephone rang"Yes sir," I said trying to sound professional"Come to my office," he said and hung upShit!!!, so much for trying to avoid himI walked to his office and knocked on his door and then I entered. He was not wearing his jacket and hid two top buttons were undone, he looked so sexy that I wanted to jump on him"You are not meant to be having these thoughts," I said to myself"You sent for me""Yes, I need you to go to the restaurant and get me lunch," he said not lifting his head for a secondJerk"Yes sir," I said and walked out"Fuck you, Constantine!!!" I whispered yelledI don't know why I feel attracted to him, I should hate him but my body tells me another thingI went to the restaurant
THREE MONTHS LATERIt's been three months of planning my fairy tale wedding. Mandy gave birth to a baby girl, she was so happy. I cried when I held the baby in my hands, she was so small and cute. I couldn't wait to hold my baby. Yes, I'm pregnant and it's four weeks old. Nobody knew yet, I wanted to tell Mandy when I found out but she went into labor.Mandy asked me to be her child's godmother and I gladly accepted. Constantine was with me when Mandy gave birth because I dragged him to the hospital.A night before my wedding, there was a party for the girls. I invited Katherine and Lisa and they came with their various friends and we had lots of fun. We even booked rooms for the night, Mandy and I stayed together in a room while the rest paired up.On the day of my wedding, I woke up with jitters and I still needed to tell Mandy I was pregnant."Mandy" I tapped her"Yes""I have something to tell you," I said with a smile "I'm pregnant""Oh my....when.....when did you find out?""Bef
A MONTH LATERIt's been a month already since Caesare met his downfall, he was all over the news after that incident and he was investigated. It was not the first time he had stolen another person's design and used it for his collection. His brand suffered a huge loss and he went bankrupt after that, the investors pulled out. His wife also left him.I helped Constantine to prepare his new collection although he had drawn the designs when we separated. I did not come back to Rodriguez but I still helped him. My relationship with my brothers strengthened and we were closer than before.Francis met a new girl Lisa but he was taking his time to know her better before asking her out even though he liked her. I liked Lisa, she was good for Francis. Gabe finally introduced his girlfriend to us, her name was Katherine. She was also a nice girl. We became instant friends once we were introduced.Mandy's belly has increased, her due date was almost near, and she had mood swings and weird cravin
"The plan is we go to his warehouse where he keeps the collection and we cut them into pieces""How do you plan to achieve all these with just me?""I'm planning to use Samantha since she knows something about him""Samantha has left the city""When? I didn't know""After she came to ask for forgiveness she told me she was leaving. My brother broke up with her and she said she can't stay in this city knowing she wronged people""She got what she deserved. Now back to the plan""Why don't you get someone to do it instead, must we do it ourselves?""I don't trust anybody with this and this is going to be fun doing it with you""I'm scared. I don't want to enter any trouble with anybody, can't we just let it go. You said those designs don't mean anything to you again""No, don't man deserves a taste of his medicine. He has been on my nerves since and what he did was the final straw. I must teach him nobody messes with me and goes scot free""I'm begging you let's just forget it and plan
I felt better than I had been since my father's funeral. I was still looking for a job but in the meantime, I engaged in baking cupcakes for little children and I also started playing video games. I enjoyed playing video games.I still did not accept calls from anybody that was not Mandy, I couldn't bring myself to talk to anybody apart from her yet. I was enjoying my time alone, I visited parks and eateries. My phone has been ringing since yesterday and Constantine has been calling me non stop but I didn't pick up, I kept ignoring his call. I was not ready to speak to him now and I didn't know what to discuss either. I did not need his pity. I had just finished eating my breakfast when the doorbell rang. I was excited because Mandy was at the door and I had someone to spend my day with. I opened the door and the smile on my face died down. It was Francis and he had a sad smile on his face. I folded my hands and looked at him"Can I come in?" he said calmly. I was tempted to bang th
CONSTANTINE'S POVWhen I received the news of Eulalia's father's death, I was heartbroken. I couldn't believe a man with so much life had gone to the great beyond. He looked very healthy when I saw him last. Before I went to Italy I had visited him to ask for his blessings to marry his daughter. He gave me a stern warning"Eulalia is my only daughter and she is very precious to me. I don't want you to break her heart she's very soft on the inside no matter how hard she portrays herself to be. I know she loves you and you love her too so I'm begging you to please take care of her. I'm entrusting her in your care, her brothers will have their own families too and they might not always be there""I promise you sir that I will never hurt your daughter and I will always protect her and stand by her""Then you have my blessings""Thank you, sir, I won't disappoint you""You better not"Now that man was no more and he had so much life in him, he was always happy. I feel like a loser because
I spent two days in the hotel, Mandy came to visit me every day and she never came with anyone. I was happy she respected my wishes not to come with anyone. On the third day, I was ready to go back home and Mandy was there to pick me up. She ordered an Uber that took us home.I unlocked my door. It felt nice to be back home."Thank you Mandy for everything, thank you for standing by me in this hard time. I don't know what I would have done without you" I smiled at her"I must stand by you. You were there when I needed you and it's only right I do the same. I'll be on my way now, Peter is waiting for me and I have to go to work""Okay, thank you once again. I'll stop by the house later""Sure. If your phone rings please pick up, I don't want your brothers blasting my phone up""Yes, mum" we started laughing. It felt nice to laugh this hard "I promise to pick up" we hugged each other and she left. I locked the door and put on the television, they were showing After and they were halfway
After my father was laid to rest, my brothers pleaded with me to stay a while in the house before going back to my house but I did not agree. I had already planned to go home after my father was laid to rest, but I didn't want to spend time with my brothers. I was not going to listen to any of them. The only person I ever listened to was dead and gone. I was much angry with myself as I was angry with Francis and Gabe. I was angry with Gabe because he didn't listen to my father and Francis was the main cause of my father's death. If only he had not done what he did, I wouldn't have come home ranting like a mad woman. I just needed somebody to blame for my father's death.If only I had left when I said my mind, my father would not have been six feet under. If only could not bring my father back, he was gone forever and I was never going to see him again probably till I die. My father was my rock, my adviser, my father, my everything. He has been the one taking care of us for a very lon
Death sucks.Numb.That was how I felt as I sat in one of the wooden chairs, I'm not sure when people began to fill the empty seats. Mandy was by my side giving me words of assurance as I continued crying. They ask me how I'm doing, I was so calm and they were worried.I was thankful she was here. She had been my backbone since last week my father died. With her by my side, I was able to get through the week without trying to do anything rash. When the priest stands by the casket with his Bible in his hands. As the priest, began to speak I'm consumed by the last moments.I recalled some moments I spent with my father as a little girl"Daddy" five-year-old me ran to my father"Hey, my little princess," he said lifting me onto his lap"Daddy, I met a new boy at school today. His name is Adrian""Really?""Yes""Tell me what happened with Adrian""He came to school for the first time and he was my sitting partner. He offered me some chocolates and I took them. They were really sweet""Di
"Dad, please open your eyes" I cried while they were carrying him into the ambulanceI couldn't help but think this was my fault. I won't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to my father. He was the only parental figure in my life.I entered the ambulance with them as they tried to resuscitate my father, and an oxygen mask was placed on his nose.When we got to the hospital, there was already a stretcher waiting to carry him inside. They placed him on a drip as they carried him to the emergency room. I wanted to follow them inside but the nurses stopped me and said it was out of bounds. My brother held me as I sobbed"Dad, please don't leave us""He's going to be fine, they are attending to him now" my brother tried consoling me"How sure are you he's going to be fine. This has never happened before""The nurses assured me everything was going to be fine""This is all my fault, I shouldn't have come back home. If I hadn't come home this wouldn't have happened""Don't blame
