HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION TWO PEAS IN A POD
TWO PEAS IN A PODShe walked into her office and Reid was already in a meeting with her team. Initially, she didn't know what to make of that since there was no reaction within her that she could exhibit. Whether to be angry or to just join in the meeting since Reid was as well her partner.But then, she felt like if they were to work together successfully as partners, he needs to award her that same respect accordingly to at least inform her about the meeting beforehand. Since when her previous manager had done her badly she had become a little sensitive about anything concerning the restaurant. Even though he seems to now be the major owner while she remains the co-owner, she still remains the founder and would love to be in charge to an extent. Reid doesn't see a problem with that as he is as well ready to report anything on the basis to her while she does the same."That will be all for today," he said to the team, discarding them and they gave a slight bow to her on their wa

TWO TO TANGOKyros was tired of the stare battle between them as it seems Maria was not ready to make out words to say. "My apologies, Maria." he finally said. "It's fine," she replied, feigning a smile that obviously looked fake. She proceeded to walk away as though she knew not why Kyros was present, ignoring the Lavender bouquet in his hands. As she turned away from him, Kyros held her hand, disrupting her from walking away from him. Maria does not exactly know why she felt upset since they were not in a romantic relationship for her to feel hurt but then, she could not help it. "Don't leave me, Maria," he spoke softly to her like a kid who wants ice cream. "What do you want from me?" she asked calmly as well, not willing to let her emotion painted on her face. Despite her calm tone, his heart sank in its place as she seems not to realize his pure intentions. "I don't want much, Maria. I just want you to look at me a little softer. I promise it was not my intention to stand
Last Updated : 2022-08-05HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION THE EXTREME REVEAL
THE EXTREME REVEALMaria woke up the next morning feeling a little bit out of mood. Probably because of the event that had occurred the previous day or because it was another day for her to get her ass out of bed to work even though she wasn't feeling like it. Today was one of the days where she had countless of thoughts in her head. Thoughts that fight their way in unannounced. She sat up in bed, yawning profusely like a hungry cub. She stretched repeatedly, digging her hands into her messy hair to itch it in a quite frustrated manner. She had no plans of doing anything otherwise than going to work but as she stopped by her dressing mirror, she saw the business card that was given by to her by Genevieve. She needed to visit the art gallery today to make her pick. Her mind did a double check on a few things, one of which was her parents and siblings. She was going to go over to visit them soon. She needed to. They were the main motivation behind all of her hard work and seeing the

ENDLESS THOUGHTS "Hello, Maria," Kyros said with a broad smile across his clean-shaved face. He was dressed neatly in a grey suit that was perfectly fitted, giving him the legal practitioner look. He looked quite clean with his hair neatly combed backwards. “Hey, Kyros,” Maria answered with a smile, not knowing what to do otherwise.“May I come in?” he asked and she looked confused as she was already late for work but it was as well rude to decline the soft request so she asked him in. “Yes, please,” she replied, turning back into the house. She was dressed for work and he could see that. Of course, he was going to make it quick. “You have a very nice apartment,” he complimented and she smiled with a nod. “Not when it was given to you by a pervert who is as well your helper” she thought before answering him. “Thank you. Couldn't have been anything compared to your apartment,” she said before settling her bag down on the sofa and he smiled before sitting. “What should I get you

BEYOND THE LINES"Breath in, breathe out and tell me what on earth is wrong," Reid said, trying to contain his frustration. "I need to get my ass inside a plane and not drive. I need to get the hell out of this town as soon as I can. That's what's wrong!” she grinned her teeth out of anger, sadness, frustration and above all hurt.She was hurt that things keep happening to people at the lowest end of the equilibrium. It's never balanced and they are always at the receiving end. It sucks!"Okay, listen. I need you to calm down. We’re gonna have it sorted out and you’re gonna be out of this town," he assured as he thought hard for a second. Maria's face was buried in her palm already, thinking hard about what to do. At that moment, it was like having a hard time for a long time and just the slightest thing puts you off the edge. Reid picked his phone up and called his P.A to arrange a plane for them as soon as he could. That was one of the power within a billionaire's reach."What?"

LOVE-STARTBack to what happened. They had both gotten to the hospital, just in time. Thanks to Reid's private jet. She walked to the ward where her mum was admitted with Reid walking right behind her. Her heart sank in its place as she saw her mum fixed on oxygen with a ventilator attached to her. It broke her heart more when her eyes were shut firmly without bulging at any sound, not even a movement from her was registered. She moved closer to her with a devastating look plain on her face. She held her hand in her hands gently as tears rolled down her cheeks for the hundredth time. "Mum," she called as though she could hear her. "I'm here. You were clamouring for my visit, now I'm here. Look at me," she sobbed loudly and Reid who knew not what to do in a situation like this tried his best to soothe her by holding her shoulder. "I want my mum to look at me. She wanted me to come to visit so bad," she sobbed again, looking up at Reid who wasn't certain how to tale in the situatio

LOVE TANGLE Life is like different several packages attached to everyone with a blindfold on one's face. Everyone keeps unfolding it with the least idea of what is in it or what is to come.So was it for her at the moment. She had never thought of being in a relationship with Reid's lawyer and not Reid himself. She knew for sure that she loved him and that he loved her too and she was willing to see what it brings forth while she puts in her effort to make it work.She turned reluctantly like every other morning in bed at the sound of her alarm. It sounded repeatedly and she groaned, flicking her eyes opened angrily as she sat up. "Fine, fine! I'm up. You sneaky little..." she stopped when she turned and saw his dark it still was and how quiet her alarm was. She turned to her side and saw that it wasn't her alarm but her phone which had stopped ringing when she finally realized. She picked up her phone and saw the caller to be Kyros. She was about to ring him back when her phone

THE SPACE BETWEEN THE LINE"What's going on here?" he asked again since they both kept mute the first time.He could feel his blood boil in his veins and his heartbeat sped faster like he had just finished a marathon race. "He just..." Maria started but was interrupted when Reid spoke. "Is this what you do now?" he was trying hard to contain his anger but he couldn't help it. "What do you mean?" Maria and Kyros asked in unison. "Nothing. It's fine," he retorted as he turned to walk away. "Why did you come over?" Maria asked him and he stopped in his tracks before turning over to face her. "Aren't you meant to be at work?" he replied curtly, checking his time. "It's a few minutes to one," he added before looking up at her. "Yeah. Yeah," she replied still uncertain of what her next action should be. "You should also get your shirt back on. We have some work to do," he said, facing Kyros who looked lost in space. As Reid walked out. Maria and Kyros let out a deep breath that the

HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION Together regardless
TOGETHER REGARDLESSReid could see through her. He saw the anger, the hatred and the confusion, all emitting through her eyes. The news he had just gotten broke his heart but he doesn't want to believe it was true. He was just going to treat it as words from an angry lady who needs in-depth explanation and love. He stared into her eyes with all the emotions his body was willing to profess. Living without her for the past year had made him realize how deep he was into her and how he couldn't do without her. Those days during the year were a living hell for him. He couldn't get his life together without a day passing when her thought would cross his mind. He hated life and how nothing ever goes his way. He deserted everyone and his work. Liquor became his friend and he gets drunk every single day. His dad had neglected him to be a worthless son who has nothing to offer. His dad wanted him to get married so he could gracefully pass the inheritance all over to him but he had proved to
HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION Lost hatred
LOST HATREDIt had been a year since the whole incident happened. Maria left her whole life behind including Reid and her friends. She was broken and saw no reason to live and now she had become a shadow of herself. She had travelled back home to her family without caring about anything or anyone since she has nothing left to lose. Maria laid on her bed with her door locked just like always. She had her head buried in her pillow, soaked in her tears with a high temperature. Her room was dark just like a vampire's room that was avoiding sunlight. She had always lived like this after she had visited a therapist and there had been no difference in her case. She was still always gloomy and the whole thing she passed through still played in her head like it was yesterday. She goes out of her room on good days when she feels light-headed and a little bit into the world. On these days, her mum and her siblings take the best of it by making sure that she feels good and less burdened and
HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION Excruciating pain
EXCRUCIATING PAIN “What?” Maria exclaimed before she could stop herself. She had heard a lot but this new revelation was unbelievable and shocking. Reid's father has an illegitimate son? And that son is Kyros? Which makes Reid and Kyros brothers? She found it so hard to believe his words and she doesn't even know who to believe anymore since all everyone around her does was to lie. She thought of how she had trusted everyone and given them her all by loving them unconditionally but all she got from them was lies and deceit. The fact that Kyros had only used her for his advantage made the tears roll down her cheeks effortlessly. Kyros laughed before he continued. He was having fun, he was enjoying the way he was torturing her. “This is why you came into the picture. After I discovered that Reid was the heir and the whole inheritance was going to him, it seems unfair to me, don’t you think? The fact that I was illegitimate doesn't mean I'm not entitled or that I don't have the Mart
HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION The revelation
THE REVELATION Reid zoomed in, pulling up outside the building. He rushed down from his car and hurried in but as he got in, he saw no sight of Maria. "Maria," he called out and his voice echoed throughout the empty room but he got no response from her. "Maria," he called again, a little louder this time and his voice gave the same effect it had given the first time. He brought out his phone from his pocket to dial her number as he walked outside with his hand rested on his waist. He could hear her phone ring, only then did he realize that her phone was ringing on the floor close to where he was standing. He ended the call and walked closer to where the phone was ringing only to find out that all her stuff was on the ground. He looks troubled as to why she had her things scattered on the ground. "Maria!" he called out audibly, looking around but he got no response. He stood quiet for a while to think and the possibility of her being in trouble dawned on him. He raised his han
HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION Kidnapping
THE KIDNAPPINGThis was the last time she was doing the on and off with him. Maria had made up her mind and at that point, there seems to be nothing that could change her thoughts. It had been a month of silent struggle and endless sickness plus in-depth exhaustion. She had shut herself out from everyone and had decided to live through her pregnancy days without letting anyone into her life. She had stopped with the tears and endlessly thought. She had replaced all of Reid's thoughts that she had on her mind with that of her growing child. She laid on the sofa with the duvet pulled up to her chest and her face and breath were filled with exhaustion. She rubbed her growing belly and was trying to decipher the fact that she was pregnant. She was damn pregnant for a man she would never forgive. She hated how things had ended up with her and she couldn't help the tears that were gushing out from her eyes now. Was this a blessing or not? How could she bring her innocent child to this
HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION New Blessing or not
NEW BLESSING OR NOTHe stared at her for a long time without blinking and when he later did, tears rolled down his cheeks. He’d tried his best. He had said words that he could think of, words that he thought were going to change her mind but ended up not making any difference. He couldn’t dispute the fact that her words were true and he could see how she had poured out her heart in her words. He hated himself right now. “We could still try to work things out!” he said in a low tone. He was desperate and helpless. He needed her so bad, that he doesn't think he could live another day knowing she hadn’t forgiven him. He waited for her to say something, anything. Just something capable enough to serve a salve on his injured heart. He wanted to listen to anything words from her still, he could see the exhaustion on her face. He doesn't want to stress a thing but he was a desperate man and his heart ached for her. “We could work things out, Maria. Don't give up on me,” he moved closer
HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION INDEPTH THOUGHTS
INDEPTH THOUGHTS Since Maria had been living in her apartment, she had never seen a lot of people around which was odd to see them now. The whole building was usually quiet and not for once had she run into tons of people as she had now, stuck in the elevator with unfamiliar faces. The elevator was quiet even though there were a lot of people. They seem to be so interested in their businesses that they don't wanna mind anyone's. She stopped on her floor and walked straight to her apartment. She was a bit tired from all the stress she had to go through to set up the new restaurant which was a lot to do. Reid had excused himself to see Amanda the last time they were together and it had been two weeks now since they had seen. She hated the fact that she was acting fine and cool with the idea of having a family and she had to act as the mistress who has no effect on in his life. She had been feeling a little dizzy lately and being exhausted had been something that occurs to her fro
HIS VIRGIN ACQUISITION STORM and silence
STORM AND SILENCE"I got the restaurant back!" Reid yelled delightfully and Maria stared at him in utmost awe. "What? How? How did you get it back? I thought it was...""Yes! Obviously. It was burnt to ashes but I got us a better one!" he retorted with a broad smile. "Hold on. Make me understand you, please," Maria said in a low tone. "All I'm saying is that we got the first building to ashes which was a great blow on us, so I got us a better and different building and here are the documents!" he handed her the documents with a gladdened heart as he stared at her face while her hands opened the brown envelope. He was proud of himself on how he could make her smile again. It felt like ages since he had seen her smile genuinely. "You did what?" Maria said, amazed as she opened the documents and scanned through the papers. Her smile widened as she read through the lines. "Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed as she jumped on him and wrapped her arms around his neck. This was great news
