Why Today?

EDWIN'S POV

I was at the office with my executives when a young lady unexpectedly opened the door, demanding to see me while acting crazy and sassy.

The security guards refused her from seeing me, but she kept on struggling with them.

We all stared at her, wondering why she was here in the first place.

I was shocked to see the crazy lady who was creating a scene in front of everyone. She was a pretty and sexy lady, but at the same time, ill-mannered and uncultured.

I angrily ordered the guards to take her out, but she was quick to make her way toward me, and slowly she whispered something into my ears that left me utterly shocked.

I quickly stood up, and I immediately followed her.

Everyone was shocked as they stared at me in total shock. I guess they never saw this coming.

I know it was a very embarrassing moment, but I cared less about that, and more about what she had whispered to me.

“Wait!.” I said to her when we were out of sight of the executives and staff.

I took her to my office, where we could talk things out quietly.

She turned around slightly with a smile on her face.

“What do you want?” I asked her coldly.

“To work in your company!” She replied smiling.

“Fine, you'll get to work in my company,” I simply said, hoping that was enough for her.

“Not just any staff, your assistant.” She said calmly.

The nerve of this bitch, she had the guts to order me around.

“Are you okay?” I couldn't help but ask her.

“Fine, then I'll just post the video online,” She said and started operating her phone.

“Wait! Don't you dare!” I said, hating the fact that I had to agree to this.

“Let me see the video!.” I said to her, she could have been lying.

She confidently handed me her phone and played the video for me.

In the video, I could see myself dragging a corpse to a grave and pushing it inside roughly.

I immediately froze as I saw the video, I could still remember this day vividly, but I was not the only one, I remembered seeing Maxwell there as well, how come I was the only one being implemented?

My eyes widened as this was great information about me that nobody knows of, it could ruin my reputation.

“Who was she? And how the hell did she get the video?” Many questions flooded my head.

“You're wasting my time," She said when she noticed I'd been quiet.

“I could destroy your phone now if I'd like to,” I finally said with a smirk

“You think I'll be foolish not to share the video with other devices? I dare you to try. Even if you try to touch a strand of my hair, you're already a goner,” She said as she snatched her phone away from me.

“Is that all you want, I could give you money, a house, a car anything just names it,” I said, trying to bargain.

“If I wanted money, I would ask you for it. I want to work as your PA and your secret is safe with me,” She said, her smile not leaving her face.

“How can a human be this cunning? A devious witch at that,”

“Fine, you've got the job,” I said. There was no need to argue with her since she came fully prepared.

“Okay then, I'll start working here by tomorrow,” She replied, still giving me her silly smile.

“How did you get the video!?” I couldn't help but ask again, I needed to know how.

“That shouldn't be your problem, sir,” She simply said and walked out.

I turned around and walked back to the executives.

I got back to the office and the executive officials who I had been talking to had already dismissed themselves.

Not only that, but I sighed, a little relieved. Those officials were giving me a hard time, and I was glad they left, but the image of that lady lingered in my head, I must have seen her somewhere.

I pressed a button on the wall, and the wall divided, making a space for me to pass through and enter my secret lodge.

This place was more like an apartment, as it had every single thing an apartment would have.

I sat on the couch resting for a while before I went ahead to fetch myself a drink.

I poured the liquor from the glass bottle into the glass cup and drank it up.

“How did she get the video!?” This question kept ringing in my head.

I stayed in my lodge, resting for some time. It was already late, so I took the secret route to my private elevator, got into my car, then zoomed off.

In no time, I arrived home.

I parked my car in the garage and got out of the car, then I walked into my mansion.

“Oh! The prince is finally back,” I heard the most annoying voice ever.

Serene said with a smile as she walked over to me.

“What are you doing here?” I asked her coldly. I was surprised to see her. It's been a long time since we last met, and I wished it continued that way forever.

“To see you, of course!.” She said as she hugged me tightly.

I quickly pulled away from her hug.

“You shouldn't be here!.” I said to her as I walked upstairs.

I dislike the way I feel around her, I've tried hard to erase that feeling I had for her, but anytime she's around I can't resist it.

Not only that, but I don't know if this was still love after all she did to me.

I recalled seeing her with Maxwell, having sex.

If I could list the worst days of my life, that day would be the top one.

I washed my face in the bathroom and came out to my bedroom only for me to see her sitting on my bed half naked.

“Get out of my house, Serene!” I half yelled, trying to hide the fact that I was affected by her body.

“Don't act like you don't miss me,” She said as she walked up to me.

“Don't act like you don't miss my body,” She whispered seductively into my ear as she held my hand, but I was quick enough to withdraw my hands from hers

“You can act like you don't, but your body can't,” She mumbled, with her lips so close to mine, as I could feel her intense breath.

I was so speechless, my body was betraying me, it was falling for her trap.

“Why today, after all these years,” I managed to say.

“I had to let your anger pacify,” She whispered seductively while biting her lower lip.

My self-control was leaving me. She was pushing me too hard.

“You want to know what I taste like after all these years? Don't you?” She said, looking me straight in the eyes.

“Fuck it." I groaned and walked past her over to my cupboard. I picked up one of my car keys and walked out of the room, ignoring her call.

I walked down the stairs with a hastened footstep and out of the house to the car park.

I got into my car and zoomed off without a second thought.

I still can't help the fact that she cheated on me with my cousin. With Maxwell.

I kept driving randomly, not having a place in mind to go, not until I spotted a five-star hotel and I pulled over to spend the night there.

I had to get these feelings out of my head.
