“Now that I think about, working with hypocritical two faced bastards like you can really kill ones business,” Taking a bold step forward, Bethany looked Tobias right in the eyes. “So perhaps, I should have a brief discussion with my mother and have her reconsider that cooperation between you two.”Amara watched Tobias’s facial expression and couldn’t help the smug smirk that graced her features. She could clearly see that Bethany’s words had struck a chord.Good.“You-“ Fiona wanted to speak, but Tobias interrupted her.“It seems Fiona has said or done something that makes you see the Larsen house in a wrong and different light. I apologize on her behalf, and I’d be sure to discipline her.”Fiona’s eyes went wide the moment she heard this. Her head snapped in Tobias’s direction with lightening speed. “B-brother-?”A single glare from Tobias was enough to get her to stop talking.With Fiona silent, Tobias turned his attention to Amara, who had remained silent the entire time.“Amara,”
Amara didn’t go home immediately after leaving the shopping mall. As per a pleading request from Bethany, she stopped at the female’s place to have afternoon tea and snack.Although Bethany had said the little event was a means to calm down and forget all about the altercation between them, Tobias and Fiona, she couldn’t bring herself to calmly enjoy their snack time.“The nerves of those two,” She bit into the scone with more force and anger than enjoyment.Amara had to chuckle. “Don’t let them get to you,” She took a sip of her tea. “It’s not worth it.”Bethany’s brows furrowed. “How can you remain so calm after being insulted like that? Those people, they have no sense of respect or common courtesy.” She huffed and took a sip from her tea. “Did they always treat you like this? Was this all you endured during your marriage?”Amara looked sad, but only for a few seconds. Taking a sip from her tea, she answered. “Yes, but it’s all in the past now. Tobias, his family and the old me, th
Between the time of which Amara’s brain could recover from Tobias’s sudden visit and comprehend what he had said, the male had taken a step forward, shortening the distance between them and demanded.“We need to talk.”“Talk?” Amara intensified her glare, hating his nerves even more when she recalled the picture Melanie had sent to her.He sure had some balls, being all chummy with Celestine and then coming to demand they have a talk.“We have nothing to talk about,” Amara firmly stated and stepped back, intending to shut the door in her ex husband’s face.But her plans were foiled when he placed his leg in the doorway, effectively stopping her.He grimaced, obviously regretting the consequences of his rash decision. But despite the pain, he carried on. “No, there are things I need to talk about.”Amara was getting impatient, not only was the male being a pest, but his presence was also a nuisance.And that fact was only taken to a whole new level when he literally forced his way into
For the first time in his entire life, Tobias didn’t regret acting on his urges. Holding Amara, feeling her bare skin against his, feeling the heat that radiated from her body and her breathless moans and meager struggles, it felt good.He allowed his hand to roam her body freely, exploring the curves that he hadn’t seen, hadn’t touched, hadn’t felt, and hadn’t made love to in such a long time.It felt good, to the point that Tobias briefly regretted his decision to divorce Amara. It was brief, but the thought crossed his mind, making him doubt that decision he had made and causing him to think that if he had a chance to go back to that day he had proposed a divorce, he'd choose differently.But that’s just what it was, a thought, and it was squashed the moment the fog in Amara’s mind cleared and she shoved Tobias away.“You’re really crossing the line now, Tobias,” Amara warned, putting her nightgown’s sleeves back in place. “Why are still so unreasonable?”“Unreasonable?” Tobias cha
Amara returned home close to midnight. Stepping into the living room, the first thing her eyes found were the sex toys scattered all over the floor.She huffed and walked towards them, squatting down where the box was so that she could pack them up one by one.However, when she arrived at the one Tobias had picked, the same one she had smacked out of his hand, Amara couldn’t help but think back to the kiss that happened.Against her better judgement, her brain recalled the kiss, how Tobias’s lips felt against hers, how smoothly his fingers had ran through her body and how emotional the kiss seemed.It wasn't like It was the best kiss in the world, But Amara sure was surprised how it had rendered her flightless for the first few minutes.Why? Well despite the obvious answer being that it was because the kisser was Tobias, the very man she had loved for six years, who seemed to have some sort of bewitching influence over her, Amara couldn’t help but think of another reason.Perhaps it w
A detention cell and conference room surely had more than one differences, yet, here Tobias was, seating comfortably and chatting his time away with Gemini, like he hadn’t been charged with sexual Harassment the night before and meant to be detained.Amara could only but sigh quietly. Honestly, she wasn’t surprised to see Tobias present at the meeting, although she had not expected him, it was a well know fact that Connor Lin, his lawyer for five years running, was the best lawyer in the whole of England.So a case like sexual Harassment would be no different from a regular business case to him, which was why she was unsurprised to see Tobias here.“Ah, Miss Miller,” Gemini greeted as soon as she noticed Amara’s presence.Tobias’s head turned in her direction at the sound of her name. His eyes scanned her, but he made no effort to acknowledge her.Amara reciprocated the gesture, however, she didn’t allow he
Amara learnt that each time Bethany had an encounter with Tobias, while by her side, the female would always have a lot to say during the aftermath."...the nerves of him, really pisses me off." Bethany was ranting, hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as she drove. "I mean, what right does he have to stick his nose in your business. Doesn't he know boundaries?!"That was a question even Amara couldn't answer, so she simply settled for a laugh, both because she found Bethany's ranting funny and because she had no words for Tobias's actions so far."Seriously," The older female continued. "It's as if he's making it his life mission to ruin your life. He's like a leech, sticking himself to you and sucking you dry." She shook her head. "I really didn't expect this of Tobias."Amara smiled after Bethany's words. She could genuinely see how worried and angered Bethany was for her sake. It warmed her heart and for a second, a thought popped into her head.
“Touch her one more time, and I promise, you’ll lose that hand of yours.”Tobias’s voice was calm and cold, but his eyes were blazing with fury. His fingers were wrapped around the drunk man’s wrist and his grip was tight, the veins in his arms bulging, showing just how hard he was holding on.The drunk man hissed and tried to yank his hand free. His first attempt was futile, but the second one, thanks to Tobias’s lessened grip, was a success.“You fucker,” He cursed, glaring daggers at Tobias who was unfazed by his action.Rather than paying attention to the man in front of him, Tobias, almost like an instinct, pushed Amara behind him and stepped forward.The gesture surprised Amara to some extent and she was sure it was the alcohol’s influence that made her heart flutter and skip a beat.“Get lost.” Tobias commanded, his tone, calm and icy.“Fuck you, man.&rdquo
