“What? Which Contract?” Evelyn asked, hoping she heard wrongly.She didn't hear wrongly. Earlier that morning, Douglas's cell phone vibrated on his desk. He thought it was one of the numerous requests from small companies to partner with him.Many companies requested partnership with him but he declined all of them because they weren't big companies. His interests lay only in top companies that could help skyrocket his company to the top list as well.He was fond of ignoring those messages but something unusual strucked his heart to open the inbox. With his head softly placed on the headrest, he searched the desk with his long hand, bumping into several files before his fingertips touched it.He suddenly straightened up himself seeing the message's subheading bearing the Commissioner for the department of housing preservation and development. He clicked on the message to open and was petrified for some minutes at what he saw. The commissioner suspended the Hudson yards contract!“But
Isa picked up her cell phone and dialed the Doctor's number. Her hands went numb as the phone began to ring at the other end. She became a bit infuriated as per him not answering the call.Isa's face twitched with gloom. Why was the Doctor not answering her calls? Was he avoiding her call because of her predicament or what? She called his line again but it only rang and ended. She heaved a sigh and dropped on the bed, staring intensely at the ceiling. Her instincts told her that he might be handling some patients and couldn't answer her call.She was about to ask him if he could give her any other assignment. The one he gave her seemed really tough for her. She didn't have anyone that could help her accomplish them. Not even her husband who was always busy with work and never had her time.At a point, she even wondered what making wishes got to do with her therapy. She needed to figure out a way instead of burying her head in deep thoughts. She rose, walked to her window and peeped
“How did you know it was my first wish?” Isa said in whimpers. Her face glimmered with curiosity.“From your jotter.” Raymond mumbled, putting on an apologetic look. He felt sorry for invading her privacy.Her gaze followed him to the stunning view of a dining table. She gasped at the sight of the red canopy decorated with endearing star lights and furrowed her eyebrows through the beaded curtains hung on the entrance of the canopy.She forced her gaze through it and saw well selected wine bottles, cocktails and several mouth watery food.He returned back to her, holding the jotter in his hand. She wanted to ask him how he got the jotter. It dawned on her how far her mind has traveled at the alluring sight of the dining table. Her mind has already left her body.How come she didn't notice when he walked in and out of the canopy? Raymond glanced at his wrist watch.“It is almost time.” He mumbled, taking the lead. She followed him, narrowing her eyes like a small child. She felt like
As he dished a portion of the food into her plate, the hot steam wafted a sweet aroma into her nostrils. A mixture of spices and his cologne.Isa's stomach tightened, feeling a sexual arousal at his demigod image. She stared intensely at him , from head to his torso which stopped at the length of the table top. A creature like him was made with perfection. Everything about him was perfect. His curly, black hair sparkling under the star lights, his dark blue eyes that he uses to pin her down at a spot for minutes. She skipped his nose and focused her gaze on his full lips between his vibrating chiseled jawline as he chewed up some meat.“Eat up.” He said with a commanding tone. She snapped out of her visualizations.Isa was shocked when she looked at him and saw a plate of food before him. She couldn't believe that he could eat this much. It was his usual fried meats but he added some veggies to it this time around.She watched him eating with concentration and threw away her gaze eac
Her body vibrated as her hand fumbled with her hardened nipple. She advanced closer to the bathtub and squatted beside it. With one hand still clasped to her nipple, she scooped some roses with the other hand and lifted it to her nose to inhale the sweet scent.Inhaling the scent, she could only imagine the musky smell of Raymond's cologne.Did he personally prepare the bathroom because everything smelt like him. She had just landed from fire onto a frying pan. She thought disappearing from his sight was enough to make her stop feeling the strong urge she was feeling right now.Isa looked round the bathroom, it was quiet as ever. Last time she checked, Raymond still had so much food on his plate. Maybe she could use this little chance to get herself a small pleasure. This was the kind of pleasure that has been keeping her since Douglas didn't have feelings to make love with her.Whenever she felt fvnking horny…she would lock up herself in the bathroom and give herself hot fingering, s
Isa's lips twitched. He ran his eyes over her body and noticed her fingers intertwining with the hem of her blouse.He made a silent scoff seeing that the same naughty girl, moaning and whispering his name back there is the same person now standing before him, Looking so innocent and cool. He gave up the interrogations and watched her rushing her food.The same person that had refused to eat anything earlier has finished the food on her plate and is asking for more.Probably, it could be because of her inner desires. He realized how she badly wanted to satisfy those urges in her that she had to go to the bathroom.A hint of regret flickered in his eyes. He wished he didn't hold back from opening the bathroom door. He would have gone to her and given her a proper Orgasm. He would make sure she begs him to fvnk her harder. He would have bent her over the bathtub and plunged into her, squeezing her two fresh apples.“Do you want more juice?” He asked, snapping out of his thoughts. Isa's
Raymond made a hidden smirk. He knew the kind of men they were. Their eyes were lurking for money. Things would have turned out easier if he had dropped bags of money in front of each man. But he chose to fight for the position in a just manner.Some minutes after his presentation, one of the men stood up, slamming his hands over the table.“This meeting is over now. We'll meet again tomorrow or next.” His voice was thunderous, having a mixture of rage and authoritation. He seemed like the general amongst the other men.Raymond squeezed his jaw. His face portrays the beastly side of him. He glared and watched them walking out of the conference room. He felt like running after each man and dealing with them mercilessly.How could they postpone the meeting with no tangible reason? Oh! They thought he was so cool until he showed them what he was made of.Perhaps, they thought he had no connections that could help him achieve his goal but on the contrary, he had partnership with high busi
“Excuse me? What do you mean by that?” Evelyn asked, withdrawing from her embrace. Her eyelids furrowed in confusion. Isa made a hidden smirk. She enjoyed her perplexed expression and nearly scoffed.“I changed because of my accident. That's the reason why I can't remember anything. I can't even say what I like and what I don't like anymore.” Isa mumbled in low whimpers. She noticed a hint of excitement flicker on Evelyn's face.“Please, can you tell me the things I used to like?” Isa asked softly, grabbing Evelyn's wrist. She was beginning to enjoy the conversation.Evelyn was mute. She could only stare at the thigh revealing mini skirt that Isa was wearing. Her heart burned with hatred and jealousy.It baffled her at how Isa was now putting on expensive and seductive dresses but she couldn't open her mouth to utter a single word. She was scared that Isa's memory would come back if she interrogated her.“Why aren't you saying anything?” Isa asked, swaying her hands over Evelyn's face
Raymond shot a glance at the taxi's speedometer. It was at its highest but the car wasn't running as fast as he had expected.He urged the driver to drive faster as he could sense danger from afar. Not too far away. The nearer the black Honda came, the deeper he could feel the danger.Suddenly, the black honda pulled itself into the same level with the taxi. He saw four men putting on black masks. They were unrecognizable except from the tiny holes around their eyes which permitted them to see through and the tiny hole below their nostrils which allowed the passage of air.At this point, Raymond knew that he was in very big trouble. He could see a long pistol hanging across each man's chest and he saw a burning rage flaming in each of their eyeballs.He thought of nothing else but Isabella. How she was doing, what she might be doing at the moment or what could be going on through her thoughts. He recalled how she pleaded with him not to leave and how she told him it was dangerous outs
Isabella muttered one last prayer before she shifted the laptop to herself to input the password.Sure, she wouldn't let him see the password because she couldn't trust anybody.She added more energy to hasten whatsoever she was doing. She wasn't sure who the suspect was.It could be the chairman but she hoped it shouldn't be him.On her first try, she unlocked the company's shares. She threw a galbce at the chairman who widened his eyes in shock.“How did you manage to know this?” The chairman suddenly asked in amazement.Isa just made a smirk.“Chairman, you forget things so easily. You must have forgotten that I was the same person that built this company to the top ten. Who do you think created the password to the company's shares?” She asked, making another cold smirk.The chairman took a deep breath and laughed.He couldn't possibly believe what she just said.“How is that possible. I thought Douglas was a smart man. Why didn't he change the password to the company's shares, kno
As soon as they got inside the upper room, the system operators began to tremble on seeing the police men.The manager had to assure them that they weren't here to get them arrested.“All I need is your cooperation and nothing more.” The inspector mumbled to them to put their hearts at ease.He knew what they were scared of. Of course, they were young, vibrant guys and they might probably be involved in cyber crimes or internet fraud but he wasn't interested in any of that.The only thing he set his mind to do is to dig out who the culprit is.“Replay the clips, starting from this morning.” He said, narrowing his eyes.They turned on the TV that was connected to the cameras at the morgue attendant's room.The inspector watched the TV with every gusto in him. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Isa and Raymond walk inside the office.He maintained his steeze as they watched the TV from the moment the duo walked in to the moment the uniformed able bodied men left the morgue with the mor
In the middle of their interaction, a call came in from the Federal Government. One of the ladies picked up the call and pressed the loud speaker button for everyone to hear what they had to say to each other.At this point, the case was resting in the hollow palms of the citizens. They were disappointed in the federal government for what happened.The individual who communicated with them wasn't specifically the federal government but an arm and messenger from the federal government.“This message is coming directly from the Federal government. I am here to tell you all that you have falsely been accusing them for what they know nothing about.” The baritone voice began from the other end and paused halfway to catch a breath.An unusual deafening silence drifted in. It was so quiet that if a pin was thrown on the floor, the sound would be heard clearly.“They have heard all your complaints and have decided to find the suspects behind the death of the morgue attendant and the patholog
As the cool evening wrapped closer, the police station became crowded as officers trotted out from the inspector general's office.They were all coming from the inspector general's office. He called them after the news reported the death of the lady.Actually, the police station branch where Mrs Rhoda Bennett was arrested had nothing to do with the case of the dead lady but the inspector general took it upon himself to investigate the case.He called the inspector general of that branch and requested that the case be transferred to his own branch.And yes was his answer because they were once good friends.The inspector general called his officers afterwards and commanded them to go and fetch any evidence that could be linked to the death of the lady.“Go out there. Do whatever you have to do to fetch me the cause of the lady's death.” He had said when he was addressing the officers. They were all lined up like soldiers ready for war. Their faces were staring into the empty space whil
Isa was still curled up like a baby in the duvet when her phone began to ring. She became so scared and wondered who it might be.She alighted from the bed and grabbed the phone from the top of the drawer. She glanced at her phone screen and saw that it was the chairman. She was supposed to meet up with him after getting the autopsy results but the car crash accident became a big barrier.Since then, she hasn't gotten the opportunity to reschedule their meeting and now he is calling her phone.She didn't know what to do; whether to pick up the call and tell him that a lot of things went wrong from the time they were meant to meet or give him a run down of the trouble they were in which got them into another city.On a second thought, she restrained herself. She couldn't possibly trust anyone, not when they couldn't wrap their hands around who the suspect might be.She allowed the phone to ring for some minutes, thinking of the right words to utter to him.She desperately needed to se
She shut her eyes, allowing her memory to dance in the ecstasy of his kiss.He began to suck her mouth slowly, sliding his tongue into every corner of her mouth. He almost choked her to death.He kept on sliding in as if he was searching for something precious to him.Suddenly, he paused and looked into her eyes. She reciprocated with an alluring smile and licked her lips.At that moment, she felt safe and satisfied with him and wished there would be a way for her to repay him for all that he has done for her.Staring into her face, his eyes slowly traveled to the nape of her neck. He felt like sucking the hell out of her lith skin.The manner in which she stared at him showed that she was longing for more of his kisses but what he felt at that moment was more than a kiss.He wished she was his already so he could toss her into his arms and deal with her in the measure he longed for.“Why are you staring at me like that?” He whispered to her.She became quite flustered at his words. H
How would she make this lady understand that she is on the run? And that she can't trust anyone at the moment.“Hey, pretty…don't act like you don't like what I'm offering you.” The lady said sarcastically, tugging at Isabella's blouse.Isa became alert and looked up at the lady. Why did she tug at her in that manner? Is it mandatory to accept her nasty offers?Something about her made her feel so uncomfortable. She threw a gaze towards Raymond but he was still focused on filling the form.The moment he lifted his head and saw the lady on the black blazers, he screamed Isabella's name.“Run.” He shouted with the top of his voice, looking through a crowd that suddenly appeared from nowhere.Perhaps, it was time to board the plane.Isabella sprang up from the bench and began to run, forcing herself through the crowd.She was panting like never before. There was nothing else on her mind other than to get hold of Raymond's hands.She managed to tilt her neck backwards as she caught a gli
He suddenly pulled the car to the side of the road. Everything seemed like a dream to him. It's barely ten minutes since they drove out of the morgue and barely fifteen minutes since those uniformed men took the pathologist and the morgue attendant away.How possible could it be that they were both found dead? Actually the Airlines news station doesn't give fake information.“The pathologist and the morgue attendant are both dead?” Isa asked, perplexed.“How could that be possible?” He replied with scrutiny on his face.A while ago, three uniformed men who claimed to come from the Federal Government came and cuffed them out of the morgue.According to the news, their death didn't result from any form of car accident.Which only means one thing. Those men were sent to kill the pathologist and the morgue attendant.But why? Raymond shaked his head vehemently as a series of thoughts stormed into his head.If those men truly came from the Federal Government, they would kill only the path
