IN A PANIC.

Lara crossed her legs while sipping from her glass of wine. Reyna was busy with the television. While Alexa was pacing round the room, scratching her head.

"You're gonna go mad soon, it's just a matter of minutes." Lara mocked and grinned.

Reyna turned to Alexa. "Why are you panicking? Did anything happen to you?"

"That dude."

Lara glanced at Reyna who returned the glance as well.

"Which dude?" They both thundered the question.

She bit her lips. "Ferdinand, of course. He's just playing with my heart."

A loud hiss escaped Reyna's throat, she rested her back on the sofa and focused her gaze on the movie.

If she had known, she wouldn't have been interested at first. The fact that Alexa is after a married man keeps pissing her off. Not just a married man, but Melita's husband.

"What are you thinking? That he will leave Melita and focus on you huh? Just all of a sudden?" Lara questioned her.

"You don't understand Lara, that lady is really dealing with him because she's rich. Sh

    ANYTHING FOR MY BROTHER.The buzzing of her phone drew her attention, she grabbed it from her handbag to see that it was Christina on the line.She wondered if everything was okay with the call. While staring at the counsel as she took the pen and paper from her groom, she picked up the call." You know quite right that I'm not in the mood of picking up anyone's call at the moment, why are you tempting me ? ", She roared to the hearing of her housekeeper.The young lady has already studied everything about her mistress.

    THE JEALOUS BRIDE Before the priest stood Melita and Ferdinand after taking their marriage vows.You could see on her face that she's damn excited, but one thing is that it isn't from the depth of her heart."Now, the groom can kiss his bride." The voice of the groom rang in her ear.What did he just say now? That the groom should kiss his bride huh?Those questions popped into her head as she was staring at Ferdinand to see his reaction.She turned and glanced at Christine who was smiling widely at them, and hissed Inwardly."That's what she has been waiting for, to watch her mistress kiss a hired groom." She thought and bit her lower lips.Ferdinand gripped her palm so tight, and then walked closer to her, he stared into her eyes for a while and then his lips landed on hers.God! He had thought that she would shriek at her for trying such a thing, or rather decline the kiss… but it was all opposite.He licked her lips the first time and then she responded to it instantly as they b

He responded to her.She stretched her lips. "And what's the meaning of that? Get into the car so I can take you home, I'll only let you leave when I wish." She replied curtly.Ferd made a long face. "Let's go then, I'm already feeling sleepy."She moved to the car and he followed her instantly, they both stepped in and shut the door."Don't you ever question my order. Let this be a mistake." She warned him.He took a deep breath. "Just take me as you wish, I don't wanna argue with you."

    A DO OR DIE 2.Ferdinand bit the side of his lips when he turned to see Melita standing, watching them.He had told her to stay inside and had promised to be back at once."Alexa, what are you doing here?" Melita's voice thundered.Alexa glanced at Ferdinand. "I came to see him.""See who? Are you insane?" She twitched towards her, raised her hand to pounce on Alexa, but Ferdinand gripped her palm in the air.She turned and glared at him. "You're too stupid too.""Even in my presence, you still curse him. Yet you keep bragging that he's your husband." Alexa cut in.Since Ferdinand was holding her right hand, she had to slap Alexa's face with her left palm."When it comes to marriage, you ought to pretend like you saw nothing." She warned Alexa who was wincing in pain.That slap came with lots of anger.Ferdinand finally let go of her hand and turned to Alexa. "Why not leave? Do you want to be slapped again?""Ferdinand.." she cried out."I paid you for this job, so please, don't inter

    A DO OR DIE.Melita rolled to the other side of the bed and slowly let her eyes open. She stared at the wall for a while before turning over."Goodness! I can't tell the last time I took a long siesta like this." She gripped her head, staring around.She took a look at her body and gasped in shock. "What! How… How come?"Her eyes fell on the door, it was locked."I'm just wearing panties. Is this the handiwork of Ferdinand huh?" She screamed and hit her palm on the bed.She gripped her head again, when she noticed that she's trying to recollect something.Her eyes caught her nipples, how pointed and reddish it was."He… He sucked my boobs, and I did nothing to him." She swallowed deeply. "Huh! He undressed me and left." Tears were struggling in her eyes, but she held them up."That feeling was mutual, I really wanted to feel that way until the end of the world. I guess that was the reason I slept off so fast and had a peaceful siesta." She thought, staring at her nipples.She rubbed

    THE GAME OF SEDUCTION.Ferdinand was expecting a slap as usual, but he was damn surprised when Melita threw her arms around his neck.He gripped her waist dipping his fingers into her skin.This is what her body wants at the moment, she needs to calm her nerves enough.If letting him savour her lips to his taste will push him to doing anything possible for the rescue of her company, then she wouldn't mind letting him be."Ferd… Ferdinand…" she called him.He stared into her eyes and smiled. "Say it out, I want to hear you speak."She breathed heavily. "I'm sorry, but I can't do this. Just let go.""It's the opposite, I guess." He slammed his lips on hers again, she responded fully to it.He wants just one thing from her, and being awake won't give him that.He kissed him down to his neck and then to her chest, gently, get pulled down her sleeveless."Ferdinand…"He glanced at her face, it revealed how weak she was. If she wasn't weak in his arms, a thunderous slap would have followed

    THE FUCKING NEWS."Many months ago, ma'am Melita was in love with a young man by name Hendrix. She wasn't just in love, but they were in a relationship." Christine paused and cleared her throat.Ferdinand was all ears, at least, he's a bit relieved that Melita was once in a relationship."She loved him from the depth of her heart, and was ready to do anything for him because of love, but it all ended that Hendrix was only faking to love her just because of her wealth…""Ma'am Melita was a virgin when they met, and she had planned to give out her virginity on their wedding night. But Hendrix raped her…" She broke out into tears. "Not only that, he injected a hard drug into her body so she can be asleep for so long, and then she stole her money, the ones he could find and ran away till today."Ferdinand gripped her palm. "Can you remember the name of the drug injected in her?"She nodded. "Depo Provera, after she got awake again, the doctor announced to us that she had lost her womb du

    THE INDUSTRY."Hey! Come over here." Melita called the usher nearby, the young lady cascaded towards her and bowed."Ma'am.""Take away all these from here." She ordered her.The lady first grabbed the bottles and glasses then left their sight.Ferdinand lifted his face. "What's going on? Why should she take away what I'm relishing here?"With the look on his face, and how weak and narrowed his eyes were, you don't need to be told that he has drunk himself to stupor."I ordered her to take them away, you've taken enough already." She slammed and grabbed his hand again.He forcefully pulled away from her. "I want more drinks, besides I'm not yet drunk.""Jerk! Stand, let's leave, you're badly drunk." She muttered to him, but in an annoying voice.He shook his head. "I'm going nowhere.""Uhmmm! The usher will take some bottles to the car, so you can drink while I drive." She framed up a lie.He smiled. "Are you serious? That's very interesting." He chuckled and slowly stood up, but his

    . AT THE PARTY."Stop all these Ferdinand." She yelled on top of her voice, gripping his curled hair.He didn't care, all he was concerned at the moment was how sweet her skin was to lick on.He bit her earlobe and licked it causing her to quiver a bit, but she comported herself."Tell me you don't love those feelings of being with a man." He whispered to her ear.She pinched her ear. "Kindly let go of me or you wouldn't love my next action." She warned him.He grinned and placed his palms on her boobs, but she slipped off his arms this time."Why are you testing my patience Ferdinand? I'm only being kind to all this stupidity because it's you." She roared, her eyes revealed how annoyed she was.He smiled at her. "Having fun with you is a sign of stupidity in me huh?" He licked his lips. "Do you even know how many women that want me? Why are you behaving like a lesbian when I haven't seen you that way? You should be glad to contract someone that's treating you like a woman regardless

    GETTING READY FOR THE CEREMONY. "You can't wear something useless and leave with me, you'll get into the car and we'll go to the boutique." Melita ordered him.He nodded. "Who's gonna reject that offer? Me?" He shook his head. "You stand and let's leave please."She scoffed and looked off him while dressing up, he waited for her until she was fully dressed and they left the room together.They drove off with her car to one of the best and classic boutiques in town, then they stepped out of the car."Now listen to me Ferdinand, you ought to respect yourself here. Don't mess up or I'll act like I don't know who you are." She warned him.He sniffed. "Oh! When you act that way, get ready for the world to know what you're hiding.""Ferdinand…." She screamed.He arched his brows and dragged her by the hand and they moved into the enormous building filled with all kinds of clothes, shoes and other wears."Which way to follow." Ferdinand asked, confused."Maybe you'll climb on my head instea

    THE INVITATION.Miriam and Alexa stared at them as Ferdinand kissed her without taking a breath.His arms were wrapped around her waist, while hers was around his neck.They weren't taking a break at all.Christine sighted what was going on and stood watching what would be the ladies' reactions..Alexa bit her lips while her palms clenched together. Gosh! She couldn't bear what was going in again, so she made her way through the door.Miriam swallowed deeply, she wished she was the one getting such a passionate kiss from Ferdinand.She swirled her neck to the left to see Christine smiling at her. She scoffed and walked out of the building too in order not to feel embarrassed.Few seconds after the two ladies left, he broke up the kiss.Melita stared at his face for a while and landed a heavy slap on his face."Why did you do that without my permission?"He smirked. "Why then did you respond to it when you don't want it?" He scratched his head. "Dammit! You're a bad kisser, can I….."Sh
