Chapter 11: Sex is a game ETHAN I dropped her off at Liam's place, the goody two shoes, it's no wonder she always comes to me, I fulfill all of her hidden pleasures, I own her and everything that concerns her so I still wonder why she's with him. I'm getting a hard-on thinking about all the crazy things I do and could do to that little body of hers, that little vixen does a lot of things to me that I'm not ready to admit to myself yet. Needing to get rid of thoughts of Mia, I scrolled through my contacts and stopped at Sophie’s. Yes, the same Sophie l told Mia I stopped screwing a while ago. The truth is I never stopped my affair with Sophie, she's like my booty call, I call her in times like these, times when I can't get my mind straight. I texted her to come over while I drove home. I went straight upstairs on arrival having in mind the things I intend to do to Sophie. Sex is a game and if you aren't prepared you'll definitely disappoint whoever it is you are doing it with. I
Chapter 12: You ruined everything! JOHN EVANS(Mia’s father) I hate board meetings, mostly because of Ryan Williams, my worst enemy and trust me, I have lots of enemies. Ryan and I were best of friends back in college but all hell went loose when we fell in love with the same woman. The boardroom buzzed as Sasha Brown, one of the board members of my company Interactive Imagination, addressed us. “Sales of Cosmic Gladiators are flat. Ideas?” I proposed that new fighting features should be incorporated into the main characters of the game so that our marketing department can use these upgrades as focal points in their marketing strategy hence increasing our sales and I was immediately Ryan warned of budget constraints, I'm sure he did that to get on my nerves. Another board member, Logan Heath cautioned against rushing development and laid down a plan: beta-test, refine, and deliver flawlessly. “So what do we think about this plan?” I asked, trying to control myself against tear
Chapter 13: Reckless feelings SOPHIE Sex with Ethan has to be the most amazing thing I've ever got to experience, he knows his onions, he knows how to please a woman and don't get me started about his dick. I wanted to be done with him, I ignored his calls, even told my best friend Mia about our affair and she looked at me with eyes filled with judgement. Even with all these going on, I couldn't stop thinking about him, then I came to the conclusion that I was in love with him, why else would I be feeling like that towards him? I decided to do some shopping so I could get my mind off him. On my way out of Victoria’s Secret I heard my phone beep, it was a text, from the person my mind has been on for the past few weeks, Ethan. “Are you available? Come over to my place now.” I read his text and started jumping like a kid with a sugar rush. I love his authoritative attitude, it gets me more turned on. I hurried back home, took a shower, put on my most sexy lingerie and left fo
Chapter 14: Lose my number MIA Ethan's an asshole, he promised that he wasn't with Sophie anymore now I had to get embarrassed like this. It's clear that Sophie loves him, and she's right, I'm a two-timing bitch. I'll let Ethan go now, but not without making him pay for being a jerk. “Hey Sophie, I'm truly sorry for not telling you.” I apologize once again. “It's fine love, I just want things to go back to the way it was, we're childhood friends babe.” She said and that made me wonder how we went from being inseparable to name calling. We practically did everything together, but after the incident with Sophie’s ex Jacob, everything wasn't as it was, Sophie who was once really cheerful and lovely became miserable and kept to herself. It hasn't been long since she started opening up again, after the jerk was sentenced. “Do you love Ethan?” I asked, trying to make out what's going on in her mind. “Is it obvious?” She blushed. “Yeah, you don't really do the name calling thi
Chapter 15: A blast from the pastETHAN“Mia,” I growled, sexually frustrated and in disbelief.“Goodbye jerk, make sure to lose my number!” she said, walking out and leaving me tied to my headboard, my dick hard as a rock.Wait what did she mean? “Hey don't leave me like this, we can talk about everything.” I shouted, but she was already out.I struggled with the ties a bit but it was of no use, that bitch, she definitely planned this all along and I was stupid to fall for it. Looking around for my phone, I spot it on the bedside table, far from my reach.“Damn it!” I growled, frustrated. I guess I'll have to be loud, and hopefully Daniel is close by to help me out.“Hey, is anyone there? Daniel!” I shouted.No response, damn my hands are getting sore and these blue balls are starting to hit hard, those can be really painful.That's when I heard footsteps, it sounded like someone was heading upstairs. “Daniel, is that you?” I asked,I heard a knock on the door and was grateful when
Chapter 16: The proposalMIAThe drama yesterday was nothing I've ever experienced, it was just from one situation to another, I still haven't asked dad about what happened at his workplace, I made a mental note to ask him at breakfast.I take my bath and dress up. I'm going to make today as productive as ever by going to my art gallery. Yeah, I have people that work for me there but I normally check-in on them once every week.“Good morning dad,” I cheered as I came down the stairs, “you still owe me an explanation on what happened at the office yesterday.” I added.“Oh sweetie, I hope you slept well,” he replied, obviously dodging my question.“Dad!” I exclaimed.“I have handled it love, don't bother your pretty head.” he responded firmly.“Okay, if you say so, Dad.” I smile and serve myself breakfast.“Looking good sweetie, going somewhere?” He asked.“Yes dad, I'm going to the gallery.” I answered.“Well make sure you take your car, I don't want you hopping on taxis.” He insisted,
Chapter 17: Reliving a nightmareMIAA chill crept down my spine. My heart started to race. I was being followed and I had to do something about it, picking up my phone, I dialed the emergency line, “911, what’s your emergency?” the operator asked. “There’s a black van following me,” I said, my voice trembling. “It was on my tail when I was going to work and now when I'm going back home it's on my tail. I’m scared.” The operator’s calm voice guided me. “Stay on the line with me, ma’am. Can you tell me your location?” I gave them my location, my eyes darting between the road and the mirror. The van was still there. “Officers are on their way,” she assured me. “Keep driving to a populated area if you can.” I nodded, even though she couldn’t see me, and turned toward a coffee shop that was close by, I parked near the entrance of the coffee shop, my heart pounding as I watched the van pull into the lot and stop a few rows back. Moments later, relief washed over me as two polic
Chapter 18: Uncle GregMIAMy family is all kinds of weird, there's my uncle, Greg, my dad's elder brother who is the family’s black sheep. He went to jail for trafficking drugs and other reckless behaviors which made my grandpa give the company's rights to my dad. Uncle Greg is manipulative and narcissistic, always in one trouble or the other and my dad is always the one bailing him out.My aunt, Cecilia isn't like that though, being the baby of the house, she was always spoiled by my grandpa before he passed. She's sweet, loving and has been a mother figure since my mom passed, although she has a very sarcastic side to her which I find really amusing.As for my dad, he's the second child. He always had the responsibility to make sure everything is in order at home. We lived on the family property as per my grandpa’s wish. Hence my uncle barging in on us now, the house was our family house, so he had the right to be here. As for why he wasn't living with us before now, that's because
Chapter 81: The CEOJOHN EVANSThe plan sounded simple, okay maybe not that simple. I thought as I sat in Ethan’s office, my fingers drumming against the armrest of the chair. Greg was pacing near the window, his usual arrogance replaced with something sharper—determination. Ethan, on the other hand, was unnervingly calm, his gaze fixed on the laptop screen in front of him."This has to work," Greg muttered, running a hand through his hair. "If Ryan catches on too soon…" "He won’t, he’s too busy gloating over his so-called victory. He won’t see this coming." Ethan interrupted smoothly as he leaned back, hands behind his headI exhaled slowly. "Walk me through it again. Every step." "We’re manufacturing a controlled market panic. We’ve already leaked insider reports suggesting Ryan’s reckless financial decisions. The key investors are nervous—once we push just a little more, they’ll start pulling out." Ethan said as he finally looked up, his expression unreadable."And when they d
Chapter 80: Tough luck, MarcusETHAN I sat in my office, staring at the stacks of documents spread across my desk. The final court hearing was tomorrow, and everything depends on what Greg would do. Would he actually follow through with the plan? Or would he let his arrogance get the best of him? I didn't trust him. Not fully. Which is why I had spent the last two nights digging up every possible loophole, inconsistency, and piece of evidence to shut Marcus down if things took a turn. If Greg backed out, I needed to be ready. Daniel knocked on my door and walked in without waiting for permission. "Boss, you need to rest. You’ve barely slept in days." He said, his voice filled with concern.I ignored him, flipping through another document. "Did you get the financial records I asked for?" He sighed but handed me the folder. "Yeah. Marcus’s case is weak. If Greg doesn’t do as planned, you can crush them with this.""Good. But let’s hope it doesn’t come to that." I nodded, fli
Chapter 79: A planGREG EVANS I should have known better.I should have seen it coming. Ryan played me like a damn fool, and now, here I was stripped of everything that should have been mine yet again. The company, the power, the influence—all gone because I was stupid enough to think Ryan would actually be loyal to me. I scoffed, swirling the whiskey in my glass as I leaned back in my chair. I thought the burn of the liquor would do something to soothe the anger bubbling inside me but boy was I wrong. I'm sure I was red as boiling lavaI had trusted Ryan, received his assistance with the thought that he just wanted revenge against John but boy was I wrong. He went behind my back and snatched everything.And the worst part? John was right.The thought made my stomach churn with disgust. That last family meeting had been a disaster, the moment I admitted to John and Cecilia what Ryan had done. I clenched my jaw as the memory played out in my head. The way John lunged at me
Chapter 78: MarvinMIAMy heart jumped and I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my breath hitching in my throat. Slowly, I turned my head, my stomach knotting the moment I saw him. It was my brother— His eyes, eerily calm, met mine through the glass. I hesitated before rolling down the window just a crack. “What are you doing here?” “Relax, Mia. I’m not here to cause trouble. I just wanted to see you.” He responded, a small smile played on his lips, one that was almost… gentle. His voice held none of the usual sharpness, none of the unstable energy I always feared. My shoulders loosened slightly. Maybe… maybe he was okay. Taking a cautious breath, I opened the door and stepped out.“I’ve missed you so much Marvin,” I admitted softly, and before I could second-guess myself, I wrapped my arms around him. For a moment, he didn’t move. But then, his muscles tensed beneath my touch. His breathing grew shallow. A warning bell rang in my head—too late. I immediately felt a sh
Chapter 77: Don’t act like you’re some saintLIAMMia, cheating on me with Ethan.The words kept repeating in my head, over and over, my fingers curled into fists as I stared at the empty space where Mia had stood just minutes ago. She had left. Not even a single explanation. Nothing to deny Sophie’s claim. She didn’t even try. Sophie was still here, watching me, waiting for me to say something. But there was nothing left to say. "Are you seriously just going to stand there all night?" Sophie asked, arms crossed. I turned to her, my voice dangerously calm. "Get out. I need space." "Excuse me?" She blinked, feigning innocence. "You heard me." My jaw tightened. "Get. Out." "Liam, don’t act like you’re some saint. Mia’s not the only one who…" She scoffed, flipping her hair over her shoulder."I said, get the hell out of my house." I growled, as I took a step toward her, my patience running dangerously thin.Her smirk faltered, but she recovered quickly, rolling her eyes a
Chapter 76: The biggest joke of the centuryMIAEthan, in love with me? That had to be the biggest joke of the century.“What?” I asked as I bursted out laughingI stared at him, my heart pounding in my chest, my breath caught somewhere between disbelief and… something else. Ethan Blake doesn’t do love. And yet, there he was, standing in front of me, looking at me with those eyes that made my throat dry. “I’m in love with you, Mia.” His words echoed in my head, repeating endlessly, as if it were some cruel joke.“You don’t just wake up one day and decide you love someone, Ethan.” I said, shaking my head vigorously.“That’s not what happened.” He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.“Really?” I crossed my arms. “Then what did?” “It wasn’t just one day. It was spending every damn day thinking about you, spending every second fighting against it. And then, I realized I didn’t want to fight it anymore.” He responded, his jaw tightening.I blinked, my throat tightening. I hated
Chapter 75: ConfrontationJOHN EVANSI sat at the edge of my bed, my fingers tightening around the whiskey glass in my hand. Greg had been granted access to everything he had always desired and still lost everything. How could my own brother be so damn stupid? As if it wasn’t enough that he contested our father’s will, taking what should have rightfully stayed in my control. No, Greg had to go a step further. He let Ryan—of all people, double-cross him.Ryan. My teeth clenched. The man who had once been my best friend.I should have seen it coming. Revenge, that’s all this was to him. And now, he has succeeded. I exhaled sharply and set the whiskey glass down, rubbing my temples. I can’t let this go.Greg might be too much of an idiot to fight for the company, but I wasn’t. I refused to watch from the sidelines while Ryan sat at my father’s desk. I stood up and grabbed my suit jacket, sliding it on. Cecilia, who had been watching me silently from across the room, sighed l
Chapter 74: Fallen for youETHANI knew I had fallen for her. There was no point in denying it anymore or pretending that she was just some obsession or a challenge I was yet to conquer. It was already certain that no matter how much I tried to resist, I would keep coming back to the same damn realization. I was in love with Mia Evans.I let out a frustrated sigh, rubbing a hand down my face as I replayed this morning’s disaster. She had woken up in my bed and immediately assumed the worst. The anger in her voice, the way she had looked at me like I was nothing but a predator—it hurt as hell. I don't blame her to think that of me, after all, I have always been a womanizer hell, I even slept with her bestfriend and I have a lot of women as my booty call.But the fact was that I had done nothing wrong, the past me would have been so disappointed, afterall that's what I wanted, to have a taste of her pussy, but after she threw herself at me, I just carried her to my room and slept
Chapter 73: Everything, goneMIAWhere was I? I shifted under the covers, only to realize that I wasn’t in my own bed. The scent of expensive cologne, woody, masculine, and all too familiar—wrapped around me. I turned my head, scanning the room as realization hit me.This was Ethan’s room. I sat up abruptly, my heart beating hard. I was no longer wearing my night wear from last night, and that got me thinkingOh shit, he didn't…?I turned to the other side of the bed—it was empty. The door creaked open before I could finish the thought. Ethan walked in, freshly showered, dressed in a casual white shirt and dark pants, his hair slightly damp. His eyes flicked to me, surprise flashing across his face. “You’re awake,” he said, his voice smooth as ever. “You jerk! How dare you take advantage of my vulnerable state.” I screamed immediately I set my eyes on him, my jaw clenching.“What? I don't…” He responded.“Don't even say anything, I don't want to hear it asshole.” I seethed
