STORM’S P.O.V.
“You try.” I knocked Amar’s shoulder, holding back the laugh forcing it’s way through me.
The fighting ring shook as he fell down, heaving and wetting it with his sweat. A towel was thrown my way. I wiped but I could feel the sweat clog my pores. It had been one of the best fights I had in there. Amar was a good opponent, my most trusted guard.
Most of the men were walking away from the ring, the show over, but you could feel the buzz.
“ Good one boss.”
“ Next time can we spur, boss?”
“ That kick came from nowhere boss.”
It did something to my ego as some of my men circled as I jumped out of the ring.

BRANDY’S P.O.V.I was shaking and I did not even know how to stop it.I felt the intense need to cry but my eyes stayed dry.My chest closed yet I didn’t faint as I wanted.I stared out at the trees that flew from the window.The sun was out, it hot on the skin but I felt cold to my bones.‘My own son trapped with a pig of a woman.’‘Fat pig’The door had bounced right open after Storm had slammed it. I heard every single word his father spat and he never said anything back.I thought we were getting
Storm was gone by morning.Had he left to Miranda?Had he left to his other mistress?Or had he left for work?I hated being that woman but they had tainted and ruined me.All I thought of on Sunday was the words they had all spoken.It was sad that to them I was just a chess piece they could move around to their liking and probably toss out when out of need for.“ Brandy.” I looked up as Damon unclipped my seat belt.“ Sorry,” I said as he pulled back and took a look at me.“ Are you
How do you continue working after that? My hand went to my cheek every second, knowing I should have put something cold on it but I took the burn. Five o’clock my bag was packed. I slung it over my shoulder as heavy as it was. When I stepped out Ress was on her feet, bag packed. A second passed, us just staring at each other. Was she the one that called the woman and told her I was sleeping with her husband? The thought itself just hurt me. We were not friends but I trusted her, I had to if she were to be my P.A. Had she done it? “I was about to come and pass my bye.” She said with me nodding my head. “Bye.” She turned, walking away. Did she hate me? Did she think I really was sleeping with that man? Ress was coldly polite and I was not sure if with everyone else or just me. Slowly I walked after her, opening space for her to get on the lift first. The floor was nearly empty, the rest packing their items while staring daggers at me as I passed. I took the next ride in t
My bag was already packed with the pick up point sent by the time I made the call. I was so nervous my foot couldn’t stop shaking. I couldn’t even be bothered with why he had called before. The ring had my hand on my waist, turning to start pacing. “ Hello.” I said as soon as the call connected. “ What is wrong?” I did not know what I had expected from him but not him being calm and nice. Something in my chest tightened and I found myself standing still. “ Nothing.” I finally said. Had he heard what happened? “ You walked to the apartment, you didn’t pick calls then turned off your phone.” He said with me swallowing. I wanted to give an answer but I fell short. Slowly I walked back to the counter, leaning on it. “ I have been invited to a sleepover, I was just letting you know I won’t be around.” I told him, biting my lip suddenly with my heart thumbing in my chest. If only I could tell him. If only I could tell him all that went in my head. But as the past weekend had prove
I woke up to a pop message about a survey. The girls were still asleep and I didn’t want to walk around their house alone in the fear of them thinking I was snooping.Bored, I clicked the link and it was about rings.Which ring would you prefer?One had a thin band and the other had a large band. I picked the thin band.The next was a large diamond or a small diamond.Go big or go home baby.Then it was the diamond type.I couldn’t help pick the pink diamond because why not. Then it was the diamond cut.
Storm led us to a restaurant I just knew only the elite dined in. It was hidden right in plain sight and security was tight.My cheeks were already burning.I had never been taken out on a ‘ date’.Was this a date? Probably not.The restaurant was fairly empty. There was just one other couple than us and the woman was all pearls, surely my mother-in-law would love her.The waiter led us to a table far from the other couple. It was on the second floor so as much as those outside couldn’t see us, we could see them.The menu was explained to us, first, the wine selection.Storm took the liberty to
I ran my hands over the piece around my neck while staring at myself in the mirror. The door opening jolted me out of my daze.“I am leaving.”“Can I have a ride?” I asked, already grabbing my bag, rushing after Storm.“Why? Your driver is waiting.”My quick mouth failed me, my mind trying and coming empty with a reason.With all the missed calls I dodged from Damon, I really didn't want to see him.My mouth opened and closed.Would Storm think me too clingy if I persisted in my request?
“ I will be leaving soon Ma’am, is there anything I can get you?”I was fighting a smile as I stared up.“ No Kimberly. Thank you.”“ Coffee?”She was making it hard to keep my straight face.“No Kimberly, thank you though. You know I will be working from home tomorrow, right?” I questioned.Her smile was so genuine and bright. She hadn't really qualified for the position and yes, I had hired her because of that smile. She gave out a certain warmth that I needed for my team.“Yes Ma’am, I will call and send emails for anything that may come up.”

ONE YEAR LATERThe phone buzzed and I pressed the receiver button.“Ma’am, a package has arrived for you.”I didn’t even answer. I bolted up the seat and ran for the door. I threw it open, catching the attention of some of my teammates.The paperbag still sat on Kimberly’s desk. I snatched it up, a grin on my face.“Thank you.”I took out my phone, pressing redial as I rushed to the executive’s elevator.“Hi, I am coming up.” I said as soon as the call connected.“I am in the middle o
Sometimes it just bothered me, how much I wanted to hold him, how much I enjoyed being pasted to my husband. Yes, the night had it’s downs but now that we were a million miles away from the disaster I couldn’t help but smile. Amar opened the door and Storm slid out. I followed after him to stop because he had turned and was now blocking the door. Storm bent down, his hands going to my feet where he unbuckled my heels and slipped them out of my aching feet. It was moments like these where I knew no matter what, I’d fight tooth and nail for us. He wrapped one arm around me, the other still holding my heels and he hefted me towards him. I yelped and giggled, my arms wrapping around his neck. “Storm.” I whispered into him, and blushed even harder as he scooped me up with just one arm. My legs wrapped around his waist and locked at his back. What was he doing? My whole body buzzed with emotions and feelings I could not explain. He would never know what it did to me when he pulled
I knew how it went but why did it hurt so much this time. As soon as Storm and I approached the door, I let go of his hand. He walked on faster and got in before me into the room. I turned, and walked away from him. When I was far enough I turned around to search for him. Maybe this time he would be looking for me and scold me for leaving his side but he didn’t. I watched as he nodded and greeted those he thought worthy of his greeting. He continued marching on until he was before his father. They talked a little and by then it was obvious that he knew I wasn't by his side or anywhere near him anymore. He didn’t even search for me in the crowd with his eyes. I swallowed, knowing my job was to disappear from sight and not make a mockery of him. The large room was buzzing and as I searched, I did not know a single person there. Some I recognized but most were just strangers to me. I couldn’t stand in a corner all night long. My leg was already giving in notice that it would rais
“How about this time?”Storm stepped away and I stared at the large mirror. My frown couldn’t get deeper. I thought by refusing to hire a makeup artist then finally failing to do my makeup would persuade Storm from taking me with him. Tell me why he sat down and watched tutorials for an hour before attempting my eyebrows.“No.” I gasped, dropping my shoulders and frowning even deeper. “ It’s horrible.”“Brandy!” He glared at me and I wanted so bad to be so pissed at him but I couldn’t. The Storm I had been getting every single day for the past eight months I would die for. My husband was my best friend. He was my everything.“I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go!&rdquo
“Get a team to clean it, we won't be staying there for long, and tell Ice to make a presentation of all the land we have, residential.”I shifted only to groan out loud as pain exploded on my side. Shit, this was hell. The pills had worn off and everything was throbbing. My limbs were painfully numb, pins and needles on the entirety of them. I clenched my eyes tighter and buried myself deeper into the warm skin right by me.Warm skin? A cloud fogged my brain, making it hard to think clearly.“Hi.”A voice.I knew that voice.Oohh God, I knew that voice! I wanted to lift my head up but failed so I buried myself deep into h
My eyes fluttered open and for a second I just lay there, blinking.Something had woken me up yet as I lay there nothing was heard. A shiver ran down my body but I pulled the cover with my arm and closed my eyes.A door opened and my eyes shot wide open. Someone was in my room. Who was it, what did they want?I did not dare ask who it was, just waiting for the inevitable to happen so I could scream my lungs out.Feet suddenly moved across the room then way closer to the bed only to stop. I squeezed my eyes as if that would make the person go away. More feet patting, moving around the bed then a swipe of cool air as the blankets were pulled back.Wait, what?! The scream was bubbling in my chest. T
BRANDY’S P.O.V.“So, is she the one with the dogs?”Even though we began watching this together, I was the one that kept explaining.“Yes, she is the one with the many dogs.” I said back.“You don't like dogs?”I shook my head.“Good, me too.” My mother-in-law said.In a week she had transformed the bedroom into one Storm would throw a fit over.With the rain pouring, Elizabeth’s friends canceled their brunch appointment which was why she now sat beside my bed, watching the housewives with me on my laptop.
STORM’S P.O.V.“Sir, your arm.”I scoffed, turning away from Amar.Damon was naked, body covered in long lashes, blood seeping from the gashes created by my whip.I didn't care that my arm burned and surely bled, soaking the bandages. I didn’t mind that my burned skin was opening new wounds from me flicking my arm so aggressively.A loud angry growl escaped me as I continued whipping this scum. I wanted his skin to peel, I wanted him to writhe in pain.He heaved out and I pulled back, staring at his face which was clean of all the wounds inflicted on him.His teeth were clenched, eyes staring at me with determination.
