By the time Rosaline orgasmed, William was very uncomfortable in his lower body.He settled her down and kissed her before he tried to leave and go to the washroom to relieve himself. But unexpectedly, she pulled him towards him and asked him to be gentle.He was dumbfounded, but she did not give him the chance to react as she kissed him deeply and urgently.“I love you so much, William. I want to live with you, create memories, grow old, and die in your arms.”She muttered in between her kisses.He barely responded to her as he was too high to register what was going on as they blended into one.He was gentle and incredibly patient with her as he focused on making her feel good.He uttered sweet nothings in her ear and worshiped her body while she reciprocated with equal enthusiasm.When she yelled in pain and bit him on the shoulders, he paused, kissed, and caressed her until she stopped biting him and started kissing him.He slowly and gently let her set the rhythm. He only sped
On the same evening, Tessa had a visitor. A woman showed up at her place asking for her. She introduced herself as a therapist for the army hospital and announced that she would be her therapist and personal trainer for the next two months.She would also prefer to stay in the hotel if Tessa didn’t mind.Tessa stared at her dumbfounded.The woman explained that Commander Brown had sent her.Tessa excused herself and called William but did not get a response.She called Rosy, but she had switched off her phone. She could only make the living arrangements for her as she had all the credentials. Moreover, she needed it.Tessa was stubborn but not an idiot. She would not refuse the help she needed.Besides, she thought it was William’s father’s way of apologizing for what his mother did.After making the living arrangements, she invited her for a cup of tea, and they started talking about the plan.The women had come prepared. She asked Tessa to spar with her to determine her strength a
William picked up the letter and opened it very slowly.He unfolded the letter to see Rosaline’s neat handwriting.Dearest William,I wanted to say that I am sorry, but I know sorry doesn't cut it. I knew you would get hurt and be mad at me, but I left anyway.I wanted to tell you my reasons for doing this, but those just felt like lame excuses.You told me you wanted to be there as I sorted out my emotions and picked myself up. But I could not bear to let you witness that.I can only hope that you will find it in your heart to give me a chance to earn your forgiveness when I come back.And yes, ‘when’ not ‘if’ because I meant everything I told you last night.I love you, William. I don’t know what magic you used to make me fall head over heels in love with you in one short month, but here we are.I want to spend the rest of my life with you and grow old together. I know we are far from that now, but the possibility of that makes me giddy.When I come back, I hope you will give me the
The word rang in her ears, but Tessa could not register it.Even Leena was surprised, though she had somewhat expected it.“Gone!”Tessa widened her eyes. Trembling, she asked, “Come again?”“When I woke up, there was a letter.” “She told me not to find her, take care of you, and that she would come back,” William said indifferently, masking his emotions.He was back to being the person Tessa knew him as before he met Rosy.“Why?” She asked, barely suppressing her cries.“What’s wrong with you?” He asked directly.“What do you mean?” She was confused with the question.“Why do you need therapy?” William asked specifically.It took a moment for Tessa to realize what he was asking.Rosy’s pretend happy face and acting as if nothing had happened popped into her head. It all made sense now.“Hahahaha." She laughed self-deprecatingly."I knew it! I knew she wouldn't be able to handle it. That’s why I wanted to hide it from her.”She abruptly stopped. She looked at William and asked, “Is th
It was a typical morning in the headquarters of the AR group.10-11 am in the mornings were for meetings for Felix and his boss.The first fifteen minutes every day were for the IT and security team.Felix thought his boss was paranoid about data security. Not that he dared to say it outright, but he still thought about that every morning.While Felix admired his boss's reasons for wanting to protect his company’s reputation and not wanting his employee’s efforts to go in vain, he still thought he was a little paranoid.Felix, the boss’s chief assistant, was forced to learn all the technical jargon.Even though there was now one more assistant supposedly assisting his boss, that rich brat was only making trouble for Felix and not being any help at all.In the entire year since Asteria Scott joined, Felix could not remember a single time when he felt his burden decrease.If anything, he felt he had to serve one more person without pay or position. Even more surprising was that his bos
At 10 am, William and Felix held a meeting with the IT and security team.It went on well - no concerns or problems.Asteria jotted down the notes while coloring the hearts she drew on the notebook.After that came a long depressing meeting where the team that was - sacrifice of the day - it was different each day and repeated every two weeks - was in utter chaos, looking at the CEO’s unimpressed face.The market research team was supposed to bring quantifiable data to support one of the two proposed software they needed to develop.But they came back with crap with a small unrelated sample set.Felix could see that William was about to lose his temper and admonish the entire team for producing poor-quality work.Just as he was getting ready to hear William’s cold voice, he heard a familiar beep.Felix and a few people who had heard it before sucked in a deep sigh of relief. Asteria was confused and jealous but could do nothing about it.For an entire year, she had been hearing these
Felix recalled that the beeps were infrequent at first.After about 5-6 months, Felix had overheard the conversation, well, fight between Albert and Tessa.“Albert, why can’t you just tell me?”“She had told us not to find her.”“She was not thinking straight at that time. What if she wants us to find her? What if she’s waiting?”“She knows where we are. You keep getting presents from her. Never once has she asked about Will. I am starting to doubt her.”“How dare you say that about her?”“What do you want me to say then?”“Just tell me her location, next time you get it, tell me straight away. I will go find her.”“What if she does not want us to find her?”“She does. She would never leave me behind.”“If that were the case, she would have directly or indirectly sent you the location.”“Maybe she has not figured out how.”“Really? I don’t even know her, yet I know it’s not true.”“Let me find her. She won’t mind if it’s me.”“It’s not my place to tell.”“You just don’t want to.”“Tes
Tessa had been counting the days since she had received Rosaline’s note.On the other hand, William was just as tense.He had a feeling that his Rosaline was now coming back.He got excited yet scared.One day he received an invitation to a charity event.Asteria kept looking at it and did not seem to plan to hand it over.“Miss Scott?” William said questioningly.“Yes, Boss, this came just now. But it’s addressed only as William. I did not know what to do.” She replied meekly.“Give it to me.” William took it from her and coldly added, “you may leave.”“Boss, can you take me with you if you go to the charity party?”“No.”“Boss, I..”“Miss Scott, close the door on your way out.” William interrupted her mercilessly. Asteria gave up and left his office crying.Felix saw her and could only shake his head at her.She had been there for a year, but William had not spoken one kind word to her.William kept staring at the neat handwriting on the envelope.He caressed it lovingly and sighed
