Cole sat on his couch outside receiving the cool evening breeze.
He sipped slowly from his glass of wine with his gaze facing the sky, his mind pretty occupied with his new cook.There was something fascinating, something different about her that he couldn't tell.He wondered why he always had this cranky feeling whenever she's with him, the feeling to smile so he could ease her fear.He was used to his workers being scared of him, so why's she different? He thought taking another sip from his wine.Not only her difference that astonishes him also her meal.He had emptied the whole content in the dish she had served him ;something he hadn't done in years.Her cooking skills must be really outstanding to had made him emptied the whole content.Just as her beauty is ravenous and also her cherry blossom lips are so damn cute that when she had tasted the meal he couldn't help but stare at her lips.While taking in her features, the way she had munched the food, moving her lips sideway creating this feeling in him to pin her down to the dining table and kiss her till she's beneath his leg begging for more. Cole thought licking his lips.Unknowning to him his best friend, Leonard has been observing him for the past fifteen minutes."Back to earth, man" Leonard snapped tapping him lightly on his back."What the hell!" Cole jerked up flinching."What was that for" he questioned."You've been lost in thought for the past minutes if not hours,dude" Leonard replied sarcastically."Really" he drawled arching his brow skeptically."What were you thinking, dude?" Leonard queried still standing at his back."What do you think, man?" Cole smirked mischievously.Leonard turned to face him, staring suspiciously at his friend."I don't think I have an idea, man" Leonard replied, his gaze narrowed at his friend." Do you intend on standing all day"? Cole snapped as he watched Leonard sigh before sitting on the next couch facing him.He was searching for a reasonable excuse to say to prevent Leonard from questioning him further.He knew Leonard wasn't that naive to believe any lie he could come up with.Since he couldn't tell him his new cook was stucked up in his head.He sat up straight, having decided to wave the pep talk aside , he straighten up his posture in a business like manner."So, have you made researches on the new task we're to embark on?" He questioned Leo offering him a glass of wine.Leonard collected it from him and gulped Down it's content before speaking up."Man, I've got everything in it's rightful place just that we've got a problem" Leonard replied as his once smilling face turn worried "What's the problem" cole asked staring keenly with wide interest at his friend.Leonard hesitated for a while.
"Alicia is back" he dropped the bomb shell in a low tone.Cole freezed, his body tensed curling his fist into a bawl.The glass of wine he was earlier sipping from fell to the ground with a thunderous sound as it shattered loudly."It can't be true ,man" Cole said with anger in his voice."I had shot her with my gun and watched her took her last breathe before I left there" Cole said clenching his fist as he paced from one side of the room to the other.The air stilled for some minutes with Cole pacing around and Leonard sitting on the couch with his face facing the floor.
"If you're certain you had killed her, don't you think she had pranked is" Leonard spoke up voicing out his thought, breaking the silence.TracyBeep! Beep! Beep! The unceasing sound of her phone rang with an incessant peal, waking her up from sleepShe tossed her duvet aside, walking sleepily to where her phone is.She answered it without looking at the caller's name."Hello" she yawned sleepily holding her phone close to her ears."Tracy, where the hell have you been"? I've been calling all bloody day and night" the caller's voice boomed which she recognized to be that of her friend, Jacqueline."I thought something bad had happened to you, where did you sleep? The voice continued not giving her chance to explain."Gosh! Queline, so many questions at a time, you didn't even get to say good morning.How bad of you" Tracy huffed rolling her sleepy eyes." Pardon my manners, honey.I was just so worried about you, I had a sleepless night and was so damn scared that I had almost file in a report for a missing person.Beside, you still haven't answered my question,where are you currently
Minute later, she came out wore her clothes, packed her hair into a bun before heading downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfastShe prepared it as fast as she could, arranged it in the most presenting was she could think of, then took it to the dining table humming a song as she walks.Her already sitted boss made her cringed with fear.She wonders why she always get nervous whenever she's with him.She shouldn't be scared of him. She encouraged herselfHe was her worst nightmare, a murderer, a killer.He's the reason behind her everyday tears and she was sure going to haunt him same way he did to her.Having encouraged her self enough.She lifted her head up and narrowed her eyes to meet his .Her gaze dropped instantly as it peered into the hot seething dark eyes.His eyes were blazing fire, his jaw tighten as though he was about to murder.Fear over took her as she shudder from where she stood still holding the tray that contained his br
Tracy laid on her bed staring at the ceiling, trying to get the kiss off her mind.She find it difficult to let such pleasurable memory off as she recall how tender his kiss had been.It was inviting, sizzling an totally out of control.The way his sensous tongue had stroke hers made her yearn for more.He had caught her unaware and she had gave in to him; something she couldn't believe she would do.It was her first kiss, she had always dreamt of having her first kiss at the altar with the man she loves, not to murderer, her sister's murderer at that.What suprises her was that his kiss had swept her off her feet and she had found herself craving for more as she had flung her arm tightly on his neck urging him for more.She couldn't explain what he was doing to her that moment, what matter most was that she wanted more of what he'd offered.When he had broken the kiss,she felt the urge of drawing him back but she had left him knowing it will be embarrassing.
Cole leaned over the balustrade staring heavenward.Many thoughts clouded his mind; mostly that of his cook which was at his top list.Gosh! He don't really get why he ad kissed her. He had intended to shun her for bringing breakfast late but, there he was kissing her.He scoffed shooking his head in disbelief.He had enjoyed the kiss though.The way she had responded to him made him crave for her,her cherry blossoms lip was so soft and sweet.He really wished he could get to kiss her again; wrap his arm around her curvy waist, inhale her Rosy smell and watch as she surrender to his kiss.The thought alone made his heart gave a might thud.He had better let go of this thought and focus on something else. He reasoned.Beside, he had Alicia to deal with.Wondering who Alicia is??Well, Alicia was a drug lordress. She was under him as he was their Damon king.But, she backstabbed him by killing his family all because he had re
It been three weeks now and Cole have not been able to think of a solution to take down Alicia.Each time he tried, his head end up being caught up with his cook, Tracy.She's really a distraction to him and the earlier he stops thinking of her the better for him. He reasoned.She had been avoiding him since the kiss incident and he had also been making it easier for her.He always make sure she had already placed the food on the dining table before he goes down to eat, that way they wouldn't be able to see each other.He had lost the one he loved and he was scared of history repeating itself.He is attracted to her, he knows that but he is scared.Scared of opening up, scared of being broken a second time.Cole clenched his fist, his teeth gritted, anger forming already.Alicia was right, he was a coward for not knowing how to protect his belove, so he doesn't fit to be a Damon king.Yep, he was and still is.Those painfu
"I'm going to kiss you" he whispered huskily. As though enchanted by a spell, his lips claim hers into an enticing kiss not waiting for her approval.This time she tasted familiar.Tracy fought the urge of not responding, it was a battle she knew she wouldn't succeed as her body had become arouse at his kiss.He nibble at her bottom lips tugging her lips open.Her lips parted and his tongue slid in, his tongue met hers; stoiking and claiming hers as he pulled her closer tightening his hold firmly around her waist, pulling her into the hard wall of his body.She flung her arm around his neck, responding wildly. She didn't felt like fighting the urge anymore rather her body welcomed his.A part of her felt as if she belongs to him.The kiss was more than getting him to fall in love with her,it was something else, something she couldn't explain. Having him close enough makes her feel complete. Her arms tighen around his neck pulling him more closely.H
Tracy woke up trying to stand up but was drawn back by someone. Alarmed, her eyes flutterd open meeting those of her arrogant boss, his face was just an inch away from hers and his hand wrapped around her waist."Huh" she gasp, wondering what the hell had happened. She glance awkwardly at their weird position, her naked body, his exposed chest and the pain she was feeling in between her legs reminded of last night, then it dawned on her on what had happened.She gently removed his hand trying to stand up but he muttered something making her lie still. She stared at his face for sometime noticing his face held this ' troubled expression', making her wonder if he had slept regretting what he did. She found herself wanting to Pat him that everything is okay but instincts propel her not to, rather she just stare at his super cute face without moving an inch.Her face flushed knowing she had just complimented his look. Memories of what had happened last night flooded
"Blood" he gasps suprised. Was he injured?. He questioned his thought checking his body to see if there was an open cut, but to his utmost surprise, there was none, therefore, sizzling his curiosity.Where could the blood have come from? He thought aloud scanning his entire room for a clue but found none."Had Alicia made an attempt yet? No, he shook his head defiantly answering his question. He knew certainly enough that it couldn't be Alicia, she always marks her target and since any part of his body wasn't hurt, he knew it couldn't be her.Was this some sort of prank or what?. Firstly he had woken up not recalling an incident that had happened before he slept and now, blood?. Was he drugged?The sudden knock at his door interrupted him from his thoughts. He quickly Tosses aside the stained bedsheet before mumbling ' come in'.Leonard walks in, closing the door behind him. " Sup, man" he greeted extending his hand forward for a handshake."I'm c
They were done with dinner and was about going when a lady accidentally poured wine on Tracy dress. She had apologized and had offered to clean her up in the female restroom, Cole had objected to it insisting she clean up in his car but Tracy had agreed to it saying she couldn't come out all wet and smelly so she had to go clean up. Inasmuch as Cole wasn't comfortable with the idea he didn't argue with her so he let her have way deciding to wait patiently for her since he couldn't accompany her to a female restroom.Tracy and the lady had just gotten to the restroom when the lady started sobbing." I'm sorry, I hadn't meant to drench you, I'm just so broken" she sobs cleaning Tracy up."It's okay, Don't cry everything is going to be fine" Tracy assured her wiping her tears with her thumb."Of all day....he decided to break up with me on my birthday" The lady continued sobbing loudly this time.What a heartless fellow. Tracy thought. Couldn't he have waited or perhaps used another day
They finally arrived at the fancy restaurant that's lavishly decorated, combined with the low lighting making the atmosphere romantic, the fresh flowers, taste full artwork, candle light and classical music wasn't an exception.Cole led her to a table that was decorated with linen, table cloths and napkins. She sat down still scanning her eyes through the restaurant. She has never been to such an amazing place before neither had she seen one aside from books and television.Oh, no wonder he had sent her the dress, she'd have been looking stupid if she had dressed plainly to such a place.She wasn't less excited that he had urged her to remove the morflar.She snapped out of her thought when the waiter requested for her order. She wrote down her order and was suprised when Cole ordered for the same thing."Thanks for bringing me here" she appreciated breaking the awkward silence that had filled their table." The dress suits you" he complimented ignoring her appreciation.Her face sudd
Inside her room, Tracy took her time with the preparation of her supposed date. She sat up straight facing her mirror cleaning her face with a clenser and other sort of facials. She wasn't a fan of makeup so she didn't bother applying some. She likes her face being smooth and flawless, free from makeup be it light or heavy.She was almost done when she heard a sudden knock at her door. She stood up still clad with her robe, she adjusted it then walked to the door opening it."Master Cole said to deliver this package to you" Jerome said handing her a box."Oh!"she gawped collecting it from him." He's waiting outside in his car, Meet him there when you're done" he announced not waiting for her reply then left abruptly.Tracy took the package inside closing her door.As curious as she was to open the package,she laid it on her bed opening it carefully till what was present inside came in view.Tracy could not help but gasp at the sight before her. The Vermillion red satin gown with the
Tracy woke up feeling so weak, she stretched her arm and yawned.She opened one sleepy eye wondering why had her alarm didn't wake her up, she was sure It didn't rang. She had gotten used to being awoke by her alarm. She stretched her leg and almost screamed out, something was on her legs; her lap.No, it isn't something but someone; she could feel the exchange of gases that permeate through one's nose and the soft snores. Someone was sleeping on her lap!.She sat up rubbing her sleepy eyes wanting to be sure of her assumption as she stared at the sleeping figure before her."Master Cole?" She gasped.What was he doing in her room? She thought as her eyes Scan through the room, then it dawned on her that it wasn't her room but his.What then was she doing in his room. She thought again, For all she knew she couldn't remember going to his room. How then did she get here. she pondered."Oh!" She recalled having slept in that cold room he had ordered for her to be Locked in. How she ende

Chapter 20Tipsy, but not drunk he stood up and staggered to the door turning it open. He almost froze.The sight before him tore him to pieces.Jerome was carrying her in his arms and she looks somewhat half dead, her eyes had become puffy and her once white-creamy face had become pale and red."You're excused" he whispered to Jerome as he carried her away from him, closing the door behind him. He placed her gently on his bed sitting beside her, her body was so cold. he lifted his hand and touched her forehead, it was hot burning from fever."Damn it!" He growled.He contemplated on if he should leave her and meet Brenda in the kitchen or patiently wait beside her and await Brenda. He stood up deciding to run down to the kitchen before her fever worsen. He opened the door and dashed out of his room heading to the kitchen.In what seemed like seconds, he finally got there. He met Brenda still preparing it."Are you done" he questioned.Brenda flinched and turned to face him, she was s
They pushed her in locking the door. She didn't bother to fight rather she walks gently and sat dejectedly at the bonk bed that occupied a side of the room. She clamped her knees together, her legs shaking so much due to the cold of the room, in such position she slept hoping everything was going to be a dream when she wakes up. **********Cole pace restlessly from one side of the room to another, he raked his hand through his hair furiously for the umpteenth time.This was not his first time of locking someone up, so, why was he this bothered, so restless. He drank directly from the bottle of whiskey he held emptying it's content and lowered his head. That was his third bottle, he sighed heavily dropping the emptied one and pick another.He doubts if he could ever trusts any of his cook again, the last one had ended up betraying him and also her. Of all people, he had never expected it to be her, she had completely broken his trust. Yeah, he had trusted her. Beautiful, well poised an
(+_+)(+_+) All his workers had pledge loyalty to him, all.... Except his new cook, Tracy. Could it be her? He thought pacing from one side to another. He sighed heavily deciding to go to his room to await her. Minutes later, he heard a soft knock on his door, just as he had expected "Come in" he said backing the door. He felt her come behind him, the door closed with a click. Still backing her, he questioned " who the hell are you? A cook or a spy?" His voice coming out as gruffly as ever. " Huh? Tracy trembled not knowing what to make of his question He turned facing her, his eyes bored into hers, hot and hard as steel. " I don't repeat a word twice, don't make me do that, you'd regret it" he warned. "I...... don't know what you're talking about..." She stuttered. Just like lighting, he moved closer to her, grabbed her by her shirt collar and pulled her up. " Don't play games with me" he warned making shiver ran down her spine as she cringed in fear. He let go o
Chapter 17"Damn! I wish I could teach that bitch a lesson" leo growled.damn her, she dare talk back at him, insulted him, he had never felt insulted in his entire life before."You're lucky she's not here to Carry on with her threat, for calling her a bitch" Cole chuckle recalling Jacqueline threat. Man, you really suprised me, I've never seen you in such state before, you totally loose your guard." She freakin insulted me, she was meant to be apologizing. but, there she was exchanging words with me, can't believe I had let her go without staking any claim" Leo grumbled."Stake any claim, you say. Just admit dude, you had let her go cause you had gone off guard and she had painted it right to your face" Cole teased."Are you taking side with her?" Leo asked."I'm afraid not" Cole replied shrugging."This unbelievable, you know what? Guess I have to head out, see you later" Leo snarled standing up, his breakfast untouched and left closing the door
