Anastacia.
I can't think straight as the strong arms of this handsome stranger pulls me in for a hug. I try to stare at him but he gives no room for me to do that.He dims the light further and that action leaves me wondering what this sinfully handsome stranger is up to."You want me to make tonight the best night of your life right."? He asks huskily. "Then i'll make it the best night of your life".He pushes me softly to the bed and i gasp slightly, surprised. Before i am able to say a word he captures my lips in the most thrilling way. I try to meet up his pace but who am i kidding?.After a while, he lets go. He places his forehead on mine as we both catch our breath."Relax baby. He says, his voice soft. "You don't have to do anything tonight. Allow me make you feel special".He places me properly on the bed and runs his fingers, in the most sexual way along my body, from my thigh up to the opening of my dress, beside my cleavage.He allows his hand roam freely on my cleavage drawing circles with his thumb, and before another second his hand rips the upper part of my dress open like its nothing.His hand finds my nipple and slowly he starts to massage from left to right.I close my eyes drowing in this sinful pleasure. It's nothing like i have ever felt before. He's taking it slow very slow that I feel like I'm loosing my mind. An image of Dexter crosses my mind and for a minute i feel like i am commiting a terrible sin against him but that thought soon fade away as my thoughts are pulled back into the moment by this handsome stranger.Slowly and slowly, as i am drawn into the world of immerse pleasure, his image flickers through my mind again. Surely, he wouldn't find out about this sinful affair, surely.I wake up the following morning alone in bed, i look left and right trying to find the handsome stranger from last night but nothing, looks like i slept in the room all by myself last night.Everything seems organised except for the clothes and underwear scattered on the floor. I pick up my phone to see Thirty missed calls and sixteen messages. I scroll throgh only to find out that, two of the missed calls are from Dexter while twenty eight are from Sofia.Shoot, she must have been really worried about me. I quickly put on my underwear and it hit me again, my clothes; they are damaged.I rush over to the wardrobe to find something at least. Oh goodness please let me find a dress, one single dress, please.Ha, thank goodness. A dress. Just as I remove the dress from the hanger a note falls out.'Call me, i just need to know that you are okay and you got home safely'.Could this be from the handsome stranger? Why would he ask me to call him? Is there any possibility that he's going to come after me? The fact that i enjoyed what we shared last night, doesn't mean that i want to form a relationship outside what i already have with my husband.Against my will, i pick up the card and walk out of the room, this is my last time in this room and this club.A new feeling of panic overtakes my souls as i walk into my matrimonial home, the one i share with my husband, the one he's rarely ever in, but that's okay, i bet he's just busy with work.He is a really hardworker and he's working hard to give us the fuure that we deserve. I take a turn leading to our bedroom when i hear some unusual sound. No one is ever in here apart from myself and sometimes Sofia, well that is for whenever I'm lonely and need company.I quickly grab a small glass frame on the wall and prepare myself to attack incase the intruder burst right into my face..I quietly follow the sound and it leads me to our bedroom and suddenly my fears become worse than before.Is my husband with another woman again? Did he bring another woman home just after catching him with one the previous day? Did all his sweet words and apology mean nothing?I sip in a nervous breath, ready to see the worse. Wait, what could be the worse? My husband banging another woman in the most intimate position?I sip in a lung full of breath and prepare myself to take the sight before me. As i burst through the door after opening, I am met with the most beautiful sight.The bedroom light dim, rose flowers beautifully arranged all over the floor and the bed. God even our reading table has been turned into a dinning table.As i look on, Dexter comes in from the dressing room, looking more handsome than ever. In his right hand is a beautiful rose flower. As he gets closer, i am overwhelmed by the efforts he put into decorating this place. He has made it specially for me,only for me, the real and permanent woman in his life.He kneels before me taking my right in his left hand. "Anna,baby, I need you to know that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You brighten up my world in ways that i cannot unserstand. You make my life complete and i wouldn't wish for anything more than to spend my eternity with you".I stand there staring at him speechless, he did all this for me. He even said all these beautiful words to me, tears fill my eyes in appreciation but something bugs me to ask about the previous night, the one he spent with Cynthia."Why were you with her? Why were you with her on our anniversary dinner?.....You promised me you'd come back home to me right? To spend our anniversary with me but instead, you were banging another woman behind my back".I tried as much as possible to keep my voice stable, to keep the tears from falling as I prepare myself to listen to his explanation."Baby...i...i". He hesitates a little. "I don’t really know what came over me, please believe me, i don't know why i fucked her that night, you have to trust me baby".A part of me want to draw him into my arm and say soothing words to him, and assure him that i have forgiven him but another part of me wants him to suffer for what he has done to me.After much, delibration in my mind, i finally let the former part take control. Maybe another chance is everything that he needs to make things right between the both of us, maybe he really wants to change and one chance is all he needs."I forgive baby". I say as i pull him into a soothing hug, "I forgive you".*"Hey bestfriend" Sofia immediately cling unto me immediately i enter into the sitting room of her posh apartment. "It's been two day and you only ever communicate with me on phone"."Why didn't you drop by the house so we could talk"?. I ask taking a seat on one of the very comfortable sofa.She scoffs and scrunch her face in disgust. "I Could never babe, i would puke seeing the face of that disgusting handsome cheater".I close my eyes trying to heal the wounds that her careless words have left in my heart. No matter what Dexter does to me, i could never listen to someone say something bad about him.He is my entire world and insulting him would mean a direct insult to me."I'm sorry bestie". She says after a while. She takes her position in front of me with a remorseful look plastered on her face. "It's just that he's treating you so bad and you're letting him. I'm sure you're back with him already".I nod pathetically, thinking in my mind if i am really a fool for letting him back into my life after all he has done, after all the ladies he cheated on me with.Sofia sighs, one i am very familiar with. A sigh mixed with pity and sadness. I understand her worries but there's no way I'm letting Dexter go, I'd rather forgive him over and over again. He can hurt me all he wants so long as he heals me again."Let's talk about something else, shall we". She says in an attempt to kill the tension building between us.I see the glint in her eyes and i immediately know what she's thinking of."No, Sofia". I nod my head dismissively. There's no way i'm talking about that."Yes". She counters. You're telling me everything that happened in that room and you're telling me over a glass of very expensive champange"."You're paying". I quickly say."Of course sweetheart as long as you tell me everything i need to know". She says in excitment.Sofia' eyes widen as i finish the story, it's pretty much been like that since i started the story over an hour ago."Tell me again, tell me again, please!!". She whines like a baby, giving me the puppy eyes."No, Sofia". I tell her blantly, looking around the resturant we are in. "This is the fifth time i'm tellng you this story and it's becoming really embarassing".She heaved, her eyes looking dreamy. "This is the most beautiful hookup story, i've heard in so long"."Shh shh". I quickly tap her hand in order to silence her. "Lower your voice and don't call it a hookup story".She stares at me, her eyes filled with happiness and fufilment, not for herself but for me. "I'm glad bestie, I'm glad you finally felt the way you've wanted to feel in so long. Now we know the problem is not from you but from your husband".I look at her disappointed. "No matter what you say Sof, i still feel the same way i felt last night, i'm supposed to enjoy love making with my husband and my husband alone, not with some hookup stranger".I know deep within that I still need to up my game in the bedroom, i need to learn how to seduce him in the right ways to make him want me and only me, not some bitch from his workplace or some slut he barely knows."You are belittling yourself Anna, you're supposed to be confident and smart and everything but this man had diminished your confidence to nothing, you don't feel secure in your own body anymore and that's bad".*As i make way into my home, Sofia' words refuse to leave my head. She agreed to help me improve my bedroom confindence but her idea put me on the edge.I suggested watching more videos from Youtube but she insisted that it wouldn't help me. She said i have to.........The door bell interrupts my thoughts. Who could that beat this time? I didn't order for anything. Oh! shoot i actually have to order dinner for myself tonight.As i open the door, a delivery guy pushes a pizza box forward and i immediately get suspicious of him.Why is he hiding his face behind the face cap and why on earth is he wearing a nose mask."I didn't order this". I say simply."I know ma'am, our pizza place is giving free pizzas to all our very loyal customer and you happen to be one of them".I still stare at him suspiciously. "Why didn't i get a message from your company"?"You'll get one later ma'am, plus i have to take back a receipt signed by you else i'll lose my job.i breath out wondering whether or not to accept the box of pizza, i wouldn't want the poor boy to loose his job right?I collect the pizza and sign on the paper in his hands."Can i at least see your face"?.He hesiates for a moment. "Sure".He raises his face cap so i can get a better view of his emerald green eyes, he also takes off his nose mask and damn, he's got a very beautiful face. His skin; tanned and his features; perfect."Are you satisfied now...Stacy"? He asks.I didn't hear the last word but i nod and in a few seconds he is out of my sight.But wait, he seems familiar, very familiar and why did his skin contact with mine send so much shiver down my spine?.Weird.Unknown POVI sit in the bathtub of my bathroom, slowing sipping red wine from a glass. Argggg, why can't i get her out of my head? It's been so long and i'm supposed to have moved on, at least she has.I sigh deeply as i come out of the already cold water, walkimg a little distance away, i pick a towel from a handle resting on the wall.As i walk into my bedroom, there they are again and it disgusts me so much. Seeing their naked bodies make me want to puke my intestines out"Leave". I order, with rage clearly playing in my voice. I watch in disgust as they all scramble away trying to cover their nakedness with the pieces of clothes in their hands.Where the fuck is Jordan and why did he let those sluts in here again. The door opens and speak of the devil, my younger brother Jordan walks in. "Hi big brother".I stare at him with expectant eyes. Tell me you've got something on her"? I ask straight away, not wanting to involve myself in petty talks."I'll tell you everything you w
ANNASTACIA.I and Dexter walk into the resturant holding hands. Other couples in there stare at us with admiration in their eyes and begin to whisper in each other ears.Yes, this is exactly what i want, the kind of marriage i dreamt of having with Dexter. The one where everyone would be envious of, the one everybody would wish to have, but they wouldn't becase he is already mine.As we approach our table, he takes a step ahead of me and helps with the chair. "Thank you". I murmur with a smile.He signals at a waiter as soon as he is settled in his seat. "So baby what are we having today"?"I don't want something too heavy, so burger and fries would do for now...... and vanilla ice cream". His brows scrunch in confusion. "That's so much baby". He whispers. "Aren't you watching your weight anymore".I look down at myself. Do i disgust him now? Why is he saying something like that. I'm even trying to lose a few pounds for him. Isn't he seeing it?"You know". He hesitates "I'm just say
PIERCE.I watch as they make their way out of the resturant and i immediately make my way towards the dressing room. The thoughts of that bastard touching and making love to my woman puts me on an edge and i cannot help but worry for her safety.I always told her long ago that, once i get my hands on her, I'm never letting her go. She should have been mine first, she should have been with me a long time ago, courage was what i lacked, i couldn't approach her to tell her of my feelings and that bastard beat me to it. The bet, that fucking bet.As i enter the shower, thoughts of the night we spent together in the club comes flooding my memory. The way i made her moan my name.I remember that all she kept moaning was for me to fuck her, deeper and deeper and it made me fucking excited.I made her moan my name on all fours. Yes, on all fours and it was literaly the best night of my life.She is the most beautiful woman ever and the fact that Dexter makes her feel less of a woman and less
ANNA.It's been a month, a month of bliss for me and Dexter. I have been a good wife and he, a good husband, keeping our promises to each other.My mind wanders to other things and those things are what brings about my guilt to Dexter. I and Dexter haven't had real sex since we came back together. Anytime he tries touching me, the only thing that comes to my mind is the night i spent with Pierce and we end up not having sex at all. Damn that night.As i try to find an outfit for the day, my hands find the card Pierce left me that night, the one i used in contacting him the day i and Dexter went to that resturant.My mind has been thinking about him and my body yearning for his touch. I am thankful for the fact that he didn't try to reach me or find me in the last one month and it gave me enough time to think. No doubt, i love Dexter but why does my mind constantly waver. I miss his touch badly. One last time wouldn't hurt right.Whenever i think of him, my heart skips a beat, maybe tw
PIERCE POVI watch as she lay in my arms, her bare body covered in the blanket. As she lay in my arms eating her meal, there's something in them, something i cannot read.She has been stealing glance at me after our love making. Truth is, it was the best ever. I like how she responds to my touch. You should have seen her when we made love just now, she wanted my hands all over her body.But right now the look in her eyes makes me worried more than anyone can imagine. "Is there something wrong babe".?She glances at me and quickly looks away shyly. I chuckle and pull her into me more. I want her to feel safe and secure at all times especially when she's with me. I place my finger under her chin and raise her head so i can stare into her eyes. She tries to look away and i quickly capture her lips in a calming kiss. I kiss her still looking deep into her eyes.After the kiss, the tension in her body disappears and there she is ready to pour out her whole heart to me."Do you also think t
ANASTACIA'S POVSince i left Pierce, my heart has been hammering against my chest in a weird manner, like i have done something wrong, when in reality, i only gave him a piece of my mind. He didn't have any right to talk about my husband the way he did and the guts, the guts he had to call me a whore.Dexter had called to inform me about a business award ceremony that we had to attend at Primal hall downtown and i had to be there, at least for him and our company. While Dexter gives his speech, a very familiar scent hit my nose, a scent i cannot miss not even while unconcious. A feeling of unrest settles on my face and i begin to search the crowd for it or rather him. He has to be here, that scent cannot just come from anybody. I search frantically, completly ignoring Dexter and his speech. I didn't want to be here, my mind and body tells me i belong somewhere else not here on this podium looking at a bunch of fake smilling faces who would do anything to climb the top of the busi
UNKNOWN POV"He's travelling to London very soon, looking for someone to buy Raddison corp". My younger brother, Jordan informs me."Hmmm". I smile, a mischievious one. "He's falling right into our trap, i see"."You mean my trap". Jordan rolls his eyes at me. "Cause all you do is sit in here sipping very expensive wine from very expensive glasses".We are currently in my penthouse and Jordan hates coming here, he says it puts him on an edge and makes him unnecessarily angry. Why? Simply because i have her pictures all over, in the sitting room, my bedroom, my dressing room, and other places, I mean everywhere."She dosen't deserve you brother". Jordan speaks up after a minute of silently sulking like a child. "She's not worth your time and attention, heck, she's not even worth all the risk you are taking for her"."What risk"? I ask perplexed. "I've never considered anything i do for her a risk, everything i do is to show my love and affection. Even in the past everything i did was f
ANASTACIA'S POVTwo months, two months and I've become a shadow of myself, much to my own dismay. I have always wondered the kind of hold Pierce had on me and how much it would affect me if somthing was to happen. Right now, i no longer doubt it. This man controls me, even in his absence, my whole being still feels compelled to listen to him, obey him and dwell on the sweet nothings he whispers into my ears. I haven't had a single sleep in two months, i have bags under my eyes and i have lost a lot of weight, much to Dexter's irritation and annoyance but who cares? I don't care what he thinks anymore, i don't give a fuck. I want Pierce, my body wants him, i think i might be existing for him at this point.I haven't even let Dexter touch me in so long, he hasn't laid a hand on me and I'm not bothered. Antytime he tries to touch me, images of all those women I've caught him with occupies my memory. The way he banged them, treated them with love and even the sound of their irritating
My eyes flutter open, and the bright fluorescent bulb shining from the ceiling prevents me from keeping them open for long.where exactly am I?I try to stand from the bed but a splitting headache sends me sprawling back to my former position on the bed. I spend about ten minutes inhaling and exhaling, an exercise I learnt from Pierce."Argh". I groan. Why do I keep thinking about him? Every single action reminds me of him, like he's been an integral part of my life from the very beginning.But why do I actually feel like he has been an integral part of my life from the very beginning? Why the sudden feeling?That aside, I need to find out where I am and how to get out of this place, but this fucking headache won't let me.Suddenly, as if on cue the door flings open and Sophia rushes in."Bestie". She squeals in relief and quickly runs to me for a hug.I groan again. Because the effect of the hug just made my headache worse."I'm sorry. I'm sorry". She apologizes quickly even if she d
ANASTACIA' POV."Maybe you should just let him talk to you, Anastasia. Maybe you should hear him out and wait for his perfect timing". Sofia tried to convince me for the hundredth time tonight. Sometimes the way she defends Pierce makes me feel like there is some underground game going on between the both of them. I don't even know who to trust anymore.I mentally smack myself in the head. Sophia has been with me for years, there is no way I could suspect her.It's been 2 days 13 hours 16 minutes, and 4 seconds since we broke up. No phone calls, no text messages, no voicemails, nor emails. Nothing to show that he's even sorry for what he didBut, I don't care anymore. I'm done, he can keep on fucking Sonia for all I care.Then, the tears fill my eyes. "I was so stupid to have given my heart to someone on a platter of gold, and have him stomp it right in front of me without remorse"."He didn't do that to you, Anastasia". Sofia rubs my shoulder at least not on purposeI gently push h
UNKNOWN POV.My mind wanders to the event happening recently and I feel a mixture of both joy and sorrow. The meeting in London went well, we succeeded in buying the Radisson Corp. from Dexter. Now, I can give it back to Anastasia, and maybe she won't be mad at me anymore. Maybe, she'll forgive me, maybe she'll want me."Now, we have Radisson Corp. what's your next plan"? Jordan my younger brother interrupts my thoughtsI let out a worried sigh. "It has been your plan all along little brother what do you think I should do next"?He grabs the glass of champagne from off the table in front of him. "To be honest". He takes a sip "I have never wanted you to be with Anastasia. She's trouble, she's evil, she's bad, and I'm never going to support your relationship but if you insist that you want her, there's nothing I can do about it".I roll my eyes. "Why the unnecessary lecture bro"?"Just give it to her, expose Dexter and maybe you can tell her who you really are. Then you both can live
Anastacia' POVIt's been three hours since I got to the apartment. 3 hours since I've been sitting back against the wall. 3 hours since I've been thinking of everything Sonia said. 3 hours since I've been making up fake scenarios in my head, thinking of fake possibilities. It couldn't be true, it can't be true, the revenge, the sex, the betrayal the therapy sessions, no it's not true."Oh really"? An eerie voice replies to me. I look up with tears in my eyes and I see Sonia standing by the door. Dear lord, I'm being delusional again, but why does it look so real? I tried to get up and run away but it is as if I'm glued against the wall, frozen in place.She takes menancing steps towards me which forces me to keep my eyes on her. "If I'm fake darling, how can I touch you? How can I play with you"?"Anastasia snap out of it, snap out of it". I whisper continuously in my head. "Snap out of it you can't let her play with your mind like this, snap out of it!!"."Shut the fuck up bitch". So
ANASTACIA' POVA date? Just as if he knows a date is the perfect way to get my mind off a lot of things.To be honest, A lot has been going on lately and it has done so much in deteriorating my mental health. In fact these things happening seem to have agreed to ruin my life.First was realizing that my company is going bankrupt and I have a lot of loan to pay although Pierce already took care of that part which leaves me extra grateful for it. Second is the golden pen from the office, making remember the death of my parent and how I swept the entire event under the carpet.Third is having to explain to leave investors that taking another loan does not mean I'm crazy because they sure were looking at me like i needed to be in a psychiatric hospital and the last was having to meet Diana Carmichael after so many years.The last part bothers me a lot, because it reminds me of every thing I've tried to forget in the last 10 years. It reminds me of the guilt I try so hard not to feel.Pie
PIERCE' POVLies, lies, lies and denial. These are the things that makes me want to have my revenge but like they say love overcomes all things.Every single time , when I'm sure that I totally love her regardless of whatever she has done, something happens and I begin to doubt it again. For Stacy, I think what I feel is love and hate put together with the love overshadowing the hate. All the days I have spent with her have only proven one thing; I love her beyond how much I hate her.When she denied knowing anyone called Josh, it made me think back to the past, think of the things she made me do, think of how she made me hurt people just to satisfy her.Has she really forgotten me?I did all those things for her. I blindly did them just because I was madly in love and obsessed with someone who wouldn't notice me. I thought if I did all these things for her, that maybe one day she will come to the realisation that Dexter isn't for her, maybe she'll just notice me.But it never happen
ANASTACIA' POV.The following day at work went by in a blur and I couldn't be more grateful because since yesterday I have had a lot of things in my mind and I still do. Different thoughts are running through my mind almost driving me crazy.It took everything for me to reveal my pass to Pierce. Although not the full story but at least I told him something. I didn't like that he was kept him in the dark.Pierce is worried and so am i. His eyes looks unsettled like there is a whirl wind going on inside of him. I have tried countless times to ask him what the problem is but he just refuses to say anything.Perhaps he's thinking of how senseless I am. How on earth would anyone let the death of their parents go on unsolved? "We are here". His words pull me out of my thoughts. I look out of the car's window to see that we are currently parked in front of the very prestigious Carmichael's organisation.This organisation is so big, rumour has it that they dominate every part of the busines
Pierce' POVMy eyes snap open and the blur gradually clears away. I take in my surroundings and it is a bit strange. Where am I?I try to raise my head but a quick wave of dizziness hits me and sends me back on the surface where I lay.Someone places a palm on my forehead. "Relax. Just stay down".I look up to see Stacy with a worried look on her face.A little game won't hurt, right? "Where am I"? I ask, making my confusion very evident.A frown appears on her face. "What do you mean by 'Where am i'?. We are in my office at Radisson"."I'm confused. Where is Radisson corporation".?"Oh no". She whispers. "You must have hit your head. Do you remember me? Do you know who I am".?Gosh, so cute. How can I ever forget her? Still playing along to my script, I hit my head with my palm as if trying to remember certain information. "I can't I.....don't"Tears fill her eyes. "Okay babe, what is the last thing you remember? Do you remember coming to the office with me this morning, or do you
Anastacia' POV.I sit at the head of the table in the boardroom with the other directors staring at me intensely, as if expecting an explanation for what they just witnessed in my office earlier.Damn! How was I not expecting a couple elderly director to show up in my office after the sudden change i made this morning.They are sitting opposite each other on either side of the long table, papers and files sitting in front of each person with microphone to their faces.What the hell is going on? All these changes without my permission. Everyone here is new, except for two people whom i have known since my childhood; Mr and Mrs Detroit.I've known them ever since i was little, although not personally, they were on and off friends with my parents and also a huge part of this company.Everyone else on this table is staring at me with uncertainty in your eyes, a look of distrust being the most visible, but Mr Detroit and his wife have nothing but love in their eyes, or am I wrong.Mrs Detr
