After the unfortunate death of his grandmother he cancelled his flight for the night. He didn't know how many days he would need to recover but he decided not to go until he's full stable. "Let that bitch enjoy a little before I take her life away" he seethed bitterly. Jason hummed in response and left the room after Carter told him to cancel his flight. After that night, he inspected Reynold and his whereabouts. He didn't know why he was doing that but somehow the man touching his woman didn't settle well with him. After a lot of digging he came to know that Reynold belong to his enemies side. He was the part of the mafia which had been stealing their goods for a while. "It'll be good reason to get rid of him" he sneered, sitting alone in his office. "Mr Carter, Miss Ashley is here to see you" his secretary knocked on the door and informed him. "Let her in" he told her. Few seconds after, Ashely walked in wearing the sleek black dress which had no shoulders or sleeves. "You l
It has been a week now and she had been going on very well with her acquaintances. They loved her designs and ideas and she got more and more confident with it. "Miss Veronica, you have been called in the CEO's office" her manager came on the door and informed her. "Everything's alright?" Veronica couldn't help but ask because it was out of ordinary for her. "Seems so, he was very calm about it. But I think you're newly hired so probably because of that, he likes to meet his new employees" she told her and Veronica sighed but her anxiety didn't decrease as she picked up her phone and headed towards the elevator. When she was finally there, she informed his assistant who's desk was right outside his office. And after taking his permission she let him inside the office. As soon she stepped inside she was met with a strong scent manly scent which seemed familiar. She lifted her eyes to take a look at the man who owned this smell. A ticklish feeling ran down her spine when she recog
The very next day he went to his parents house. Even after six years there were not able to change their house and lived in the same shady place. He knocked the door and waited at a distance, wearing his sunglasses so they might not recognise him instantly. An old woman in her late fifties opened the door with shivering hands. "What do you need?" Her first question made him take off his glasses immediately. He didn't answer and just watched her face, her wrinkles and faded skin with aging. She was just like before, it felt like nothing changed except that her skin just aged with the time and she had prominent wrinkles now. "I'm Anthony" he spoke after some time as the woman now also looked at his face with much interest as if she was trying to retrieve her memory and struggling to recognise him. Do five years are enough to make you forget someone? He wondered in bewilderment. "Anthony?" His mother croaked out his name in astonishment as she now looked him from head to toe."Ye
He didn't said a word to her after they got on the plane. He was busy in his work and she was left alone to look out of the window or either go to her room to rest. She didn't even eat anything on her way as it her appetite was lost long ago. They landed after a long way to Italy and felt her heart wrenched with disappointment. What was the use of running away when he already brought her back?Or maybe she was destined to come here. It was when he as usual went to his office. She regretted alot because now she even lost her chance of going to her studio. She shouldn't have run away, now he was going to be hella strict with her. One of the maids made her breakfast and she ate in silence while sitting by the window. Maybe she should take a walk in the garden, she thought. She spent her day arranging her cupboard and cleaning her room. After that she cooked dinner in the kitchen, not particularly for Carter. She heard that Carter's mother grandmother mother passed away and it was awf
She was sore and her legs hurt, she couldn't move herself without difficulty. After having his business done, he already left the room after with plain face. She didn't complain because she certainly needed to be alone. She wanted process all of it. She couldn't comprehend why did he do that all of sudden and didn't even hurt her in the way she expected him to be rather he was gentle and caring throughout. Although he was not such a man. She dragged herself to bathroom so she could wash herself and put on some clean clothes. Maybe some warm shower would help her. All night she kept thinking about that look in his eyes. By any chance, did he have any feelings for her?She was not ready to believe it but the eye contact they held while he dived in to her soul and the same breath they inhaled while gasping in pleasure, and not to forget his eyes became soft for her. Was it all a lie?It can't be!Changing herself into some comfy clothes, she cuddled herself on the couch. She wasn't feel
She turned around to face him and his eyes were shot red. Her lips trembled as she coerced out the words, "I'm sorry, I should get going now" saying that she tried to scurry away but he grabbed her arm and made her stay put in the place. "You came as per your choice but will go with mine" he said in a monotone making her flinch. "By the way, do you like the paintings? I got them made with great effort. Hired the best artist from Italy, then gathered your pictures and see? They look like some masterpiece!" He took her close to the wall painting as they both stood in front of it now. He caressed the scratchy surface of the canvas with his hand and then bought his hand to her cheek making her step back but in the end he rubbed the same hand against her cheek forcefully. "I prefer the real version!" He whispered and laughed loudly, placing her head against his shoulder as he inhaled the scent off her hair. She didn't know what to feel, her feelings were conjured up in the bottom of
She was done, she was over past his dirty tactics of hurting her cruelly every time. She knew what she had to do now. Divorce!That was the only fucking way to get rid of him and hide somewhere in the world where he won't be ever able to see her. She will run off to Spain, south Asia or wherever the hell he won't ever step. She dialled the number of her friend who was a legal lawyer dealing with domestic issues. She told him that she needs some divorce papers to be made within a week and she can submit whatever fees it would require. Her friend assured her that it will be done before a week but she will need to state the reason of her divorce very clearly and might need to prove it in the court. She agreed to her terms but Veronica knew well that the matter will never be able to reach court as he would already but everything with one click and the divorce papers will disappear. So she made sure that the divorce papers reach her first and she will be the first one to sign. All th
"hello Ashley! How's it going?" He called her the very next day while sitting in his office. "Oh I've trapped Reynold on my fingertips. I told ya it's going to work out perfectly. I've taken some information outta him and I'm going to send it to you in a while! Check and praise me man!" She told him and the sound of her laughter resonated through the phone. "Well that's pretty clever! I surely need to praise you for that, so how about a dinner at my house tomorrow night?" He asked hesitatingly. "You sure man? Your wife's not gonna mind? She might get doubt you!" She replied. "Well what if I say that she has insisted me on this? Would you come? And we're obviously not gonna fuck in that house beneath her nose!" He embarked and she laughed loudly, unable to take the last sentence well. She couldn't stop laughing because the first reason also sounded absurd to her. Why would Veronica call another woman belonging to his husband in her own home? To judge their behaviour of suspect the
Wearing a white dress which was adorned with pearls in it, long enough for the bridesmaids to carry and expensive enough to not touch the ground. Shaping her figure perfectly as its silk hugged all of her curves and kissed every inch of her body like no one could. A net veil hanging above her face as a diamond head piece on her head as if she was a queen walking towards her throne. Her fragile hands had a bouquet of white roses in between them which had also had pearl studded in it as they were held together with a ribbon. Her father on her side while Sam on her other side. Her mother was also beside her as she walked towards the aisle. People gasped watching the new bride coming in, her hair style looked so fine and natural as if made in heaven with perfection. Her face had the most nature makeup on as if angels did it with their own hands. Her Gucci heels made her stand tall and confident. The scent of flowery cologne was so strong that everyone close to her was enchanted with her
Reynold did exactly as he said. He called off the deal and abducted Gerard on his way to his home. Kept him in his warehouse and tortured him for days until he begged for his death. But he didn't allow it yet. He got his employee back and even apologized to her for such a harsh attitude she had to go through. Everyone was surprised but that's how he was. He always kept it equal. Either with his enemies or friends. He never liked anyone having an upper hand on him. He even rewarded his employee with a bonus as a compensation for her emotional loss. The footage also came out as evidence and he didn't need anymore proof to prove he was actually a bastard. The following day, Veronica asked him to join her as they had to get Alex admission in school. He was going to join the play group batch with all the other toddlers. Veronica already confirmed the spot and all the arrangements were done for the admission. They only had to go and get him enrolled. Veronica didn't want to make Alex f
"care to tell me why would you do that miss? Are you aware how much loss our company has to bear just because of your one stupid behaviour!" He shouted in her face as the poor woman trembled with fear. "I'm sorry sir" she apologized meekly, not lifting her gaze from the floor. "I have no space for sorrys! I am going to fire you!" He announced and she looked up at him, immediately. Losing her job meant that she would never get a job in such a prestigious firm. Most of the companies in interviews always question why they got fired from the previous one and then they don't even hire. "Please sir don't do that! I will try my best next time but your client molested me that's why I couldn't contain my anger and slapped him! I'm sorry, I will not treat anyone like that again!" She started crying as she continued to beg him. "What?" He couldn't believe what he just listened to. Did she really mean by word molested?"Gerard molested you? Miss you should watch your tongue before making suc
"I think I don't want to ruin the moment we're in, so let's leave it for tomorrow morning." She enclosed the topic without revealing anything. But that discomfort still laid deep in her heart and she couldn't wait to let it out.."As you say, but I want to hear it out tomorrow. I won't accept excuses then" he stated and she heaved a sigh as she nodded in response. The cake was set aside as he kissed her on lips and she needed that kiss as she indulged in more and let it continue to a full blown kiss as they made out on the table. He gripped her ass and made her sit on the table as he got in between her legs and grinded his groin against her womanhood while she moaned relentlessly on his mouth. "You're so gorgeous! I'll never get enough of you!" He whispered in her ear as she kissed his neck and down to his Adam's apple. She unbuttoned his shirt and raked a hand over his perfectly built chest and chiseled muscles. Feeling his abes beneath her skin made her arouse so much. "You're we
He was done with his lunch after a while as they both chatted along. He was happy that he finally got these moments of bliss to spend with her after such a hectic routine of the past week. After lunch wrapped up, his assistant knocked in and informed him that Mr Gerard was waiting for him. Veronica got up from her place and picked up her bag, ready to leave. "I should send a driver with you! You shouldn't go yourself" he said considerately as he picked up the receiver to make a call. "Uhh no! I came with my own driver. I'd love to see you tonight or the night after, if your work permits you, of course " she teased him as she headed towards the door. "I get what you mean! I'll see you for sure! Wait for me" he winked before he pecked her lips and she opened the door to leaveBut at the same time the door got opened from the other side as well and Gerard appeared. Both of their eyes met and there was some mockery dancing in his eyes as she looked at Veronica and then smiled at Reyn
They spent the remaining trip discovering different cities of Europe and then in the end they visited Istanbul, Maldives and Thailand. Their trip turned out to be amazing except the hustle of carrying Alex everywhere. Most of the time it became so inconvenient for Veronica to look after him that she regretted it but after all he was her son and she didn't give up on him. Their trip before marriage was the most thrilling experience they had in their lives as they did a lot of shopping and tried out many amazing foods from different cultures. As usual Veronica liked Paris very much due to their warm and welcoming weather and on top of that it had a romantic vibe to it. While Reynold liked all the cities and didn't pick out his favourite. On top of that Veronica got her dress made in Istanbul as she really liked their gowns and decided to go up for size measurements. They chose a beautiful elegant dress which looked gorgeous on Veronica's curves. Reynold was very much excited and he b
After she said yes to marriage, he planned a trip for both of them before marriage. He wanted to see the world with her before they could get married and it involved all their destination places they had been planning since their teenage years.They both were aware that it was going to a long trip and they decided that right after they'll come back home, they'll get married with some intimate family members around. Veronica was thrilled with just having to plan such an amazing trip. She lists down all the countries she wanted to ever since she was a child. Although that also included Italy but now that she was practically living in it, she didn't add that. Their first destination was London starting from Europe. They both packed their bags, stuffed in a lot of warm clothes that they were going to need and some shoes comfortable for travelling. As much as the idea of travelling around the world was intriguing, she was worried about leaving Alex alone with his Nanny. She was going to
"hey!" She chimed over the phone after Reynold picked it over the third ring. "Hi! You sound excited" he hinted at the enthusiasm in her voice. "Yeah I am! Let's have dinner together tonight" she proposed while biting her nails as she was nervous if he would accept it or deny her offer. "Uhh sure, I'll text you when I'm free. Pick you up from your place?" He agreed after a thoughtful observation at his schedule. "Yeah sure, but the place will be of my choice" she stated and he agreed. Soon right after they ended the call, she jumped excitedly on the bed. This was going to be an amazing night after she'll tell him about her feelings and will confess how much she loves him. Her decision is only going to enhance their status of relationship and they will get closer than ever. She made a call to Sam who was in his office and running everyday errands for his family. She told him about how she has fallen in love for the second time and she is going to marry him. "Send me his picture!
Chauffeur opened the door for her and her silver Gucci heel stepped down before she appeared in all her glory and praise. Her sparkling dress was going to be the hot gossip among women tonight and burning sensation in men's chest. But she knew who she belongs to as Reynold wrapped a hand around her waist, firmly and protectively. They were welcomed inside the ball and all the gazes slowly shifted towards the new couple. Her breath was erratic and get hands clammy. There was so much audience and cameras clicking everywhere that her eyes started to hurt from the flashes. When she looked down only then she realised that she was walking on the red carpet. "Don't be nervous! Hold your head high and walk like a queen you are" he whispered in her ear making the goosebumps skitter across her bare skin with his warm voice in that chilling cold. She offered him a smile in return but followed his advice. She held his hand tightly for support as they walked through people and everyone greeted
