After finally reaching their home, a problem arouse as they were getting out of the car.
Tanya rushed to Kenneth's car and hugged it like a big white darling as she refused to let go. . "Oh my baby, how much I love you" Kenneth's expression was changing furiously like traffic lights as he watched her drunken antics. Remembering that he was the reason for her fallen career, he felt more concerned for her. "Everything is my fault. She would have been a dancer now and be a top star if I hadn't took her to our house" He thought to himself as he looked at her. Tanya moved to the bonnet of the car and flung herself on it, "Oh my big darling, I want to marry you!!" She shouted to the night. Kenneth almost erupted in laughter as he heard this. And suddenly he wanted to curse, he wanted to curse Alcohol! He wanted to curse Bianca for making her so depressed to the stage of getting this drunk. With angry face, he took his phone and called someone. The phone rang for some moments before the latter picked the call and with a hoarse and angry tone he said, "Arrange Bianca Trump's resignation letter, I'll sign it tommorow morning" There was a brief moment of silence before the latter replied and hung up. Tanya took her seat at the driver's seat while Kenneth occupied the passengers seat. "Do whatever you wanted with the car" He murmured facing front dejectedly. Tanya hugged the steering wheel tightly as if her life depended on it. While Kenneth was having a hard time to control himself because of her half closed body. He tried his best to supress the burning fire inside of him and roughly unbottoned his shirt, from the first button till the last. Tanya glance at him, she was lost in admiration for some moments, seeing his clean shaved chest and well toned abs make her became enticed so much that she forgot the car she was treasuring earlier. Kenneth didn't noticed her expression he was too carried away in his sad emotions as the scene where she fell off those stairs keep replaying in his brain. He checked the safe of the car and brought out a pack of cigarettes which he rarely smokes and fiercely took a long drag and blew out in a long trail of smoke. The moment he lighted the cigarette, she had passed the point of resistance due to her drunken state. She stared at him like a hungry person would look at food. She couldn't control herself as she almost touched his smooth throat and white skin. Finally, he noticed her burning gaze and was surprised at her thirsty expression. With a lapse of concentration, he almost thought her gaze was on him not until he realized that it was on the cigarette in his hands. Kenneth understood what she was driving at. She wanted to have a taste of the cigarette he was holding. Alcohol could make one crave things that are unnecessary, Kenneth understood that she was in this state too. Kenneth had never felt this defeated and confused in his entire life. The love he had for her when they are still in high school still lingers in his heart. The thought of her falling down still irked him like a disease. He had taken the risk and married her with Contract but the fear that she might remember the incident is still very scary to him. He knew the best way to set boundaries right is to keep the line between them. After the contract expires, he'll let her go. As he smoked the Cigarette, looked at her, her emotions churned. The red glow of the cigarette lit end was reflecting on her face. In a low crumbled voice he asked, "Did you want to smoke?" Without hesitation, she nodded quickly. She can't tell if she was being swayed by this alluring man before her or the cigarette he was holding or the alcohol effect. He flicked away the ashes then took a long drag of the cigarette and in the next instant he leaned over and pressed his tobacco mixed with mint flavours lips on hers. Tanya was shocked, what he just did made her a little sober and she realized that Kenneth Griffin just kissed her. She doesn't want him to stop. She could feel his strong masculine scent and cold air of the man enveloping her with his lips. And a mouthful of smoke entered her mouth. Being certainly unprepared, She coughed and released her lips from his. After she had calmed down, he could notice her burning face as if yearning for more. He couldn't tell what she was yearning for maybe the cigarette or his lips but he was going to give her both. He took another drag from the cigarette with calm expression and kissed her again this time releasing the smoke into her mouth slowly. She was enjoying it. "Did you want more?" He asked after puffing it out into her mouth. Tanya pouted her lips in cute expression. Kenneth can't just understand this lady no matter how much he tried to. Maybe she wanted more or didn't. He wanted her to himself, for her to be his alone, He had wanted every aspect of her, Her body, her trust, and most importantly her heart since day one. The way she was looking at him with her body half opened make his hunger for her more livid, he was barely keeping himself from doing what he'll regret later since it was stated clearly in the contract that no sex. Tanya exposing her body to someone like him is like an unspoken punishment. He disposed the end of the cigarette after taking long drag from it. He leaned over again and kissed her again this time claiming her lips fully in his and slowly puff it into her mouth. Tanya was too stunned to think, she just let her intrusion lead her. His tobacco mixed up mint flavoured lips enveloped hers in passionate embrace. That tobacco flavored lips made a memory flashed through her brain. She kissed him deeply maybe she could regain more but none came again. With his lips not leaving hers, she could fell his hard and kind of long groin brushing against her thighs. As Kenneth kissed her and she reciprocated, he deepened the kiss and slowly, his hand found its way to her chest. At first she reacted by stopping the kiss but seems he was enjoying it, then she continued kissing him and let his hand rest on her chest as she secretly wished he could explore more. Kenneth indeed wanted to explore more of her chest, he could feel his arms brushing against her breasts which he feel tempted to touch but stopped it when he heard little snores from the lady under him. 'Yikes! She fell asleep"Tanya woke up in a warm embrace with a splitting headache. She slept well, like she never did in days. But due to the effect of the alcohol, she was having headache."Where is this?" She wondered.Lowering her had to scan the environment she got to know that she was at Kenneth's house and she was actually sleeping in a car. To even burst her brain, Kenneth Griffin was sleeping peacefully beside her which means she had slept in his embrace for the night.'What the heck!!"Tanya tried to get up from the car but hit her head on the roof of the car. She bit her finger subconsciously what a mess she had put herself in. "Alcohol is my greatest enemy" she lamented"Oh..!" She was gasped, she had forgotten that Kenneth was beside her and was the one talking to her. She was so frightened that she jumped up and almost hit her head again. But Kenneth quickly used his hand to protect the top of her head. "Ken, Can.. Can we get out now?" she couldn't help but stutter."Yes, Let's leave for t
After the meeting, work resumed again and as usual, Tanya has little or less to do. She sat on her table while Kenneth was busy with his work. Some minutes after lunch, Ryan Griffin appeared at her table with a cheeky smile."Hello Sister-in-law, want to go for shopping? Seems like you're bored" Tanya was taken aback at his sudden hospitality. She looked at him for some moments without a word and replied after sometime, "Oh, you don't have to worry, I'm still working" Ryan was adamant as he took her hands trying to force her out of the cubicle, "Come on, it's bored around here lets go shopping"Tanya was thrown in an abyssal of dilemma as this man was persistent. She quickly snapped her hand away from him, "Okay, let me inform Kenneth, he should know my movement" Ryan dragged her back, "No no, did you think that annoying jerk will let you, his wife follow me? Let's leave now" Bowing to his reluctance, Tanya and Ryan left the office without Kenneth knowing that his wife has left.
Tanya and Ryan stood still for a while as they sighted Kenneth standing on the entrance of his car with a very cold gaze. Tanya dropped the shipping bags she was carrying to rush to Kenneth side but Ryan held her back with one hand and hugged her to himself. A malicious smirk spread to his face as he said to Tanya who was trying to wringle free from his grip. "Look who is here, isn't this my workaholic Junior brother?" Ryan said with jest in his voice. Kenneth ignored him and walked in long strides towards them and took Tanya's hand from him and walked towards his car. "Won't you let her take the clothes we brought?" Ryan asked. Kenneth stopped and looked back to him with a cold gaze, he replied, "No thanks" He opened the passenger side of his car and shove the stunned Tanya into the car without sparing his brother a glance. Ryan took the bags and rushed to him before he could leave. "Keep the clothes to yourself, I don't need you to buy clothes for my wife" Kenneth sto
Ten years ago.THE GREAT GRIFFIN'S HOUSE. "How dare you an illegitimate child try to get better results than me?" Ryan Griffin shouted on Kenneth that was standing across the room with his report sheets in hand looking very happy.Ryan Griffin attend another school while Kenneth attend Pyramid High school. It's end of that school year and Kenneth Griffin has ranked the top student in the school as usual while Ryan was just half in his own school. Kenneth walked over to his brother, smiling trying to make amends with him. "Come on Ryan, your result is also very good. You ranked 500 out of 1000 students. Dad won't scold you, you don't have to fret over it"Ryan wasn't ready to let go of the anger in his heart as he stamped his hand on the table angrily, "Stop with your fake sympathy Ken! You have always wanted to catch dad's attention right? Did you think getting good results will make dad give you Immortal Firm?" Kenneth was about to lost his cool, "Stop it Ryan. What did you mean b
When Tanya and Kenneth were about to go home, the staffs at the reception stopped them from leaving. Kenneth was surprised, "Why did you stop me?" The receptionist fidgeted with her fingers for a while before replying abruptly, "We, we want to invite Miss Tanya to the staffs get together dinner, can...." "No, she's not going!" Kenneth quipped without letting her complete whatever she has to say. Tanya ignored what Kenneth and said to the receptionist, "I'll join you" The receptionist smiled and left. Kenneth looked at Tanya with a questioning gaze. "Can't I even attend staff get together now? I'm also a staff remember?" Kenneth sighed, grudgingly he left for the parking lot alone while Tanya joined the staffs that had now gathered at the hot pot restaurant downstairs.As the staffs were served, they began the celebration by drinking a toast to Tanya's employment before eating. "Em, Miss Tanya, I have always wanted to ask this question, are you indeed married to the CEO?" One o
At his house, Kenneth Griffin didn't prepare dinner as he knows that Tanya would eat from where she went to. He walked into his study and started reading files while waiting for her return. He anticipated her return for 3 hours but when there's no sign of her, he called her phone and it was left unanswered. Kenneth was worried as she took his muffler and rushed to his parking lot to go look for her. Without saying, he could tell that she was in some kind of danger. He was about to unlock his car when Ryan's call came. He ignored it and ignited the car. His call came again, but Kenneth ignored his calls as he was only concerned about Tanya at that moment. As Kenneth stopped at the red traffic light, Ryan's text message popped into his phone and he picked it to read,"PICK MY CALL OR NOT, YOUR WIFE IS WITH ME, COME TO CITY HOSPITAL NOW!" Kenneth was dazed. He turned the car around and left for City hospital without much ado. He could fee his hearth thumping dangerously as he driv
Later during the day, some minutes to evening time, Kenneth who was sitting at the reception saw that the doctor had arrived, he followed him into Tanya's ward.The doctor had already examined her and said the spots and rashes will clear and which is true. Another wound that was discovered on her thigh which she seems to have gotten through a fall was recovering well and she was going to be able to walk again very soon.Kenneth watched from the side. Within the time that he went out to answer a call from the office. When he came back, she had already completely finished the hangover soup. Not only that, she had even started a discussion with the doctor about how the room looked so good.She was truly good at starting discussions. Kenneth looked at the scar on her thigh and remembered the one on her ankle which she got through him and said to the doctor, “Can the scar on her thigh be removed?”The doctor rushed to speak to him, respectfully and cautiously, “That depends on the ind
At Frank's home. He sat on the sofa watching TV while relaxing when Bianca came in. Frank switched off the TV so he could greet her when a slap landed on his face. He held his cheek in panic and looked up to her. "What's this Bianca?" "So you haven't got rid of Tanya in your heart right? You still love that illegitimate child secretly?" She shouted. Frank stood up and looked at her in confusion, "What did you mean?" She raised her hand to stop him again but her hand hung in the air as her phone beeped, it was a text message from her father. "Your mom and I are in the hospital, your sister is sick. So take care of yourself and don't wait up" Bianca hissed as she flung her phone to a corner. "Heavens forbid the fact that Tanya and her mother are my family" Then she faced Frank, "Tell me what kind of deal are you making with Ryan Griffin?" Frank stood still in a daze for a while, he wondered how she got to know about him as Frank. He asked, "Who is Ryan Griffin and who told you
