Victoria Morgan walked into the restaurant where her friends were waiting to have dinner together and quickly spotted them at their usual table.
"Finally. " said Becca, Victoria's best friend who had helped her when she newly relocated eight months ago far away from Nelson. "I'm sorry I am late. " Victoria said as she drew out a seat to join them. "Aren't you always? " Bianca hissed out. Victoria eyed her, she knew Bianca didn't like her much, she wasn't really fond of her either but she was Becca's friend. "I said I am sorry. " Victoria said angrily."It's okay, let's order already I am hungry." Becca cuts in."But Mildred isn't here yet. " Bianca says, "I thought us meeting today is because of the big news she has for us. ""Yes, receiving the news with filled stomach seems better. " Becca scoffed and goes ahead to wave down a waiter."Hello sweethearts, sorry I kept you waiting. " Mildred greets her friends with a peck each on their cheek before taking a seat with them."So what's the big news? " Bianca asked eagerly."Hey, she just got here, could she at least catch her breath. " Becca intervenes.Mildred smiles at her friends, "I love you all so much and I hope it won't be too much asking you girls to be my bridesmaids. " She said as she stuck out her left hand for them to see the diamond ring that sat on one of her fingers. "David asked me to marry him! " she announced gleefully."Wow... " Becca exclaimed as she took Mildred's hand in hers to admire the diamond ring. "It's gorgeous. ""You've to tell us how he proposed and don't miss out any detail. " Bianca said smiling so hard at Mildred, obviously happy for her."Okay, okay... " Mildred agreed lifting her hands up in surrender, "I will narrate everything from the beginning to the end. "Victoria had gone to spend the weekend with him as usual. When she arrived at his place and was greeted with rose petals littered on the floor in the living room. It was a trail so she followed it up to the bedroom then to the bed where the ring sat in a cute little velvet red box."I want you for the rest of my life. " a voice behind her said, making goose bumps appear all over her skin. She turns around and meets the eyes of the man she has spent four years with and was speechless."I want to love you till the world comes to an end. " He added as he gently grabs her by the waist and proceeds to take a seat on the foot of the bed with her still in his embrace sitting safely on his laps. "Do you remember the first time we slept together? " he asked, making her raise an eyebrow in confusion. "Nothing will ever beat that night. That night was were I promised myself that I was never going to lose you. I was already in love with you, but having sex with you just made sure that you we're never leaving my life. "Her chest began rising and descending rapidly, she could feel his erection through his trousers. He traces his nose along her neck before he starts placing soft kisses on her skin. "What do you say my darling? " She blushes as she answers in a gasp, "Yes. "He smiles at her and takes the ring out of the box before wearing it on her finger. "Perfect. " He says and lifts her up in his arms before placing her on the bed. He pulls out his already erect member in his hand and began to stroke it as he stared directly into her eyes. Her anatomy clenched as she quickly stripped down to nothing."Toria? "Slim fingers waved in front of her face, jolting Toria back to the present. Her friends, looked at her with confusion."Toria, are you with us? " Becca asked.Victoria looked at the concern on her friends faces, "Yes of course, why won't I be?"I was talking about my engagement to David but it looks like you were somewhere else a lot more interesting than here. Whoever he is, he must be somebody special. " Mildred said a bit upset."What? No! there's no one. I was with you guys the whole time and heard everything you said. I can't wait to be your bridesmaid. " Victoria added feigning a smile, still finding unbelievable she was thinking about Nelson again.Mildred smiled back then looked at Becca, "You my dear will be my chief bridesmaid.""It will be an honour. " Becca replied smiling as their meal orders arrived.**********************************************************Victoria Morgan hissed in frustration as she returned to the company she worked in, that night. She realized after having dinner with her friends that she had forgotten a document she'll be needing to work with at home during the weekend.As she entered her office, she quickly opened her desk drawer and took the document and headed out almost immediately. On her way out a strange sound gets her attention. She had noticed her boss car still parked at the company's parking lot, so she assumed he was still around, though it was quite strange for him to be, at this hour. He is usually the first to leave. He is the boss after all.But the strange sound Victoria was hearing was more like a female's voice. Curious, Victoria traced the sound to her boss's office. The sound was louder now. It was more like a moan and like she guessed earlier, from a woman.She hesitantly steals a peek through the keyhole of the door to the office and was shocked to her bone marrow. Her colleague ; Kate was straddling their boss.So Kate was having an affair with their married boss. Or was it a one time thing since they were having sex in his office? She thought. But who was she to judge, she has had her own share of office sex despite how much she will love to deny it, but no matter how decent she is, and will want to appear, having dated Nelson Brown made that difficult.Knocking on the door and entering without waiting for a response, Nelson looks breathtaking as always as he appears with a bunch of flowers in his hand."Hi baby. " He's voice was so warm and seductive, and gave Victoria goosebumps on her skin."Hi. " She replies surprised to see him here, in her office.Walking over to meet her, he drops the flowers on her desk, wraps his arms around her and gives her the longest sloppiest kiss ever, which makes them both forget they were in an office and not their bedroom."Thanks for the flowers. " Victoria finally pulls away, smiling sheepishly.He nods and gives her a kiss on the cheek. Bridging the gap she created between them."I was hoping I could steal you for lunch. " He said softly in her ears."Tsk... I have a lot of work to do, I don't think I wi-..." He cuts her off with a kiss on the forehead, then he kissed her nose, her lips were next, she kissed him back and before she knew it he was pushing her against the wall, his hand going to her ass, and immediately a huge smile formed on his lips."You don't have any underwear under this skirt. This lunch will be quick and delicious. " He said with a horny grin."Oh, so when you said lunch, you meant, me? Victoria verified."Any problem? " He asked, sounding a bit offended."Uhm... yeah, we are in my office. " She said with a faint voice, trying not to get him angry."That makes it more thrilling and exciting. " He continues.Victoria plasters a fake smile which quickly fades as she takes a deep breath from the effect of his hand going under her skirt. He presses their bodies together, lifting her skirt up to her waist to get better access to her core. An involuntary moan escapes her mouth as he rubs her core. He smashed their lips together and hungrily bit and sucked on her lips.Abruptly, Nelson pulled back from the kiss and turned her around, bending her over against her desk. Pushing her skirt even further away, he plows into her yearning pool of moisture. Victoria placed her palm flat on the desk as she bit down hard on her lips to stop her from screaming in obvious pleasure.His strokes began to get ragged, he held her waist with firm grip as he began to move faster and harder. Soon they both climaxed, but he didn't let go. He moved slowly, back and forth, his body jerking each time before he removed himself completely.Ring ring ring...Victoria jerks back to reality and quickly silences her phone that was ringing as she ran out of the company before she got caught."Did you hear that? " Kate asked her boss and lover. "Someone was out there. Someone knows about us. " she added with weary in her voice as she pulls out from their love position in fear that they have been caught.Victoria was set aback by the expression on the faces of her friends who had come to take her out that weekend. They had succeeded in cajoling her to leave the work she had brought home and go out with them, and she had took her time to dress up only for them to wear a disappointed look. "What are you wearing? " Bianca asked disgustedly "What's wrong with what I am wearing? " Victoria asked confused. Becca shook her head in disapproval. "No way! You are not coming with us looking like this". "How do I look? " Victoria asked perplexed. "Do you have to ask, wearing such a dress that does nothing but conceals your beautiful shape". Bianca answered instead.Victoria takes a good look at herself. She was wearing a loose-fitting flower print dress with the length below her knee. She also had no jewelry on. "Well, I feel comfortable and really like what I am wearing". "What?! " Becca exclaimed, "what happened to your sense of fashion? ""That's if she had any. Ever since I met her, sh
Victoria Morgan was brought back to reality from the knock on her door in her office. Kate opens and walks in with a scowl on her face. "Didn't you hear me knock? "Actually, Victoria didn't. She was busy replaying in her head everything that has happened during the weekend. "I'm sorry". She said simply, "what can I do for you Kate". Kate hesitated to speak as she took her seat. "How did you spend your weekend Toria?"Victoria looks at her amazed by her question. Her and Kate weren't friends, so why was she interested in knowing that her weekend was far from what she expected. That she had met a fine man but was still not sure she wanted to see where that leads to because her past still haunts her. "Don't look so surprised, "Kate says, "I just couldn't help but notice how early you came to work today. It's very unlike you". "Well, I... " Ring Ring Ring... Victoria's phone interrupts. "That's your ringtone? " Kate says more to herself than to Victoria. Victoria swallows hard, coul
"I will get us drinks". Gerald said once they were in his apartment."Don't bother, I don't feel like drinking anything yet". Victoria replied as her eyes hovered around his apartment. "Alright, at least make yourself comfortable". He said as he beckoned her to a seat in his living room. "Thanks". She said and took the seat, and he settled himself in the same seat. "You have a lovely apartment ". She said. "Thanks". He replied and then took her hands in his, "you've no idea how happy you've made me tonight Toria. I love you so much and only wish I could kiss you right now". He said looking into her eyes softly. Victoria blushes before meeting his gaze again, "What are you waiting for?" She whispered huskily. Gerald smiles as he places her hands on his shoulders and slid his arm around her waist scooping her against his body. Then his lips where on hers, gently grazing, not forcing, allowing her a choice of accepting his kiss or evading it. Victoria's lips parted in surrender as
As Victoria Morgan woke up, it took her few seconds to know where she was. By her side laid the man she had given herself to, the feeling different from what she was used to. Gerald handled her with care, he made her feel his love with every touch and every word he whispered. She felt like a delicate flower while he made love to her. "I can see you staring" His sleepy voice said and a smile appeared on Victoria's face. "Good morning". She said. Gerald sat up and kisses her briefly on the lips, "Good morning my love". "So tell me what it is about me that fascinates you? " He asked smiling."Everything". She said softly, and immediately he claimed her lips and kissed her passionately. "I love you so much Toria". He says after the brief kiss."Me too". She replies, and he leans to kiss her again when her eyes caught a glimpse at the clock in his bedroom. "Oh my goodness! Tell me today is not Monday". "Sadly my love it is". "I am going to be so late, " she says and jumps out of th
Gerald eyes were glued on Victoria's body as she stripped off her clothes. His boner grew harder every passing second. "Come to me already ", he pleaded with a hoarse voice, She was driving him crazy. A smirk appeared on Victoria's face, as she stood completely naked before him obviously enjoying her effect on him. "I'm all yours honey". She said spreading her arms towards him. Gerald takes her into his arms and carries her to the bedroom. He lays her perfectly on the bed but she quickly changes position and bends over. "Take me like this". She begs. He gives her a quirky look, then agrees as he stuffs himself inside her slowly from behind. Fully inside her, he begins to pound, first slowly , then he pounds harder, faster, and grabs her waist as she tries to squirm away. He lets out a moan as he goes deeper, "Ugh... you're so wet". He says as he feels himself touching every crevice inside her. She moans in reply.The warmth of their skin touching excites him as he shoves in even
As soon as Victoria Morgan arrived her work place the next monday, and walked the whole length of the cubicled area, she felt eyes looking up at her as she passed by. Her office was in the corner at the far end, and Victoria couldn't wait to reach it. But she bumps into Kate who was stepping out of her own office. Her eyes were red and puffy. "Kate, are you okay?" Victoria asked with concern laced in her voice. "Aren't you the author of this?"Kate retorts instead. Victoria's throat went dry instantly, she couldn't utter a word. "Don't worry, I am not even that mad at you. You opened my eyes, he was never going to marry me as promised". Kate continued. "I'm... I'm sorry". Victoria stuttered. "It's okay. Goodbye Victoria ". She quickly cuts her off."What? You're leaving? " Victoria asked confused. "I have been fired. Well, I would have resigned anyway... " Kate shrugged."Oh my goodness, I am really sorry". Victoria says remorsefully."I advice you get ready to clear your ta
The next morning, Victoria watches silently as Gerald dresses up to leave. "Aren't we going to talk about last night? " She finally asks softly. "I don't know what to say Victoria. I just feel less a man for you". He says sadly.She gets up quickly and walks to meet him where he stood. "Shhh...don't say that honey. It most times takes a lady longer to orgasm, and not every man can stay on still she does". "Oh wow, how many men have you slept with?" He says with scorn and anger filled in his eyes.She slaps him hard. "I'm sorry... " She apologizes immediately."I'm sorry too". He replies between clenched teeth before leaving the house. "You're late. You can't keep this up under this new management". Stella, a colleague of Victoria says. "I had a rough morning". Victoria replies. "Didn't we all". Stella retorted rolling her eyes. "What happened? " Victoria asked curious. "The new boss has arrived, and he is waiting for you in his office". Stella informed. “Waiting for me?" Vict
"What are you doing here at this hour on a weekday?" Becca asks surprised, the moment she sees Victoria walk into her salon."I need to talk to you". Victoria answered wearily."Is everything okay?" Becca asks, concerned this time."I doubt anything can be okay ever again". She replies, her voice hoarse, as her eyes glistened with tears."Is it Gerald? Did you guys have a fight?" Becca asks anxiously.Victoria began to sob uncontrollably and Becca pulled her into her arms and consoles her."Why don't you sit while I get you something to drink, then you can tell me everything".Victoria nods in agreement as she sniffs and wipes her eyes."Water or soda?" Becca asks."Water, room temperature please". She replies."Okay, give me a minute". Becca says and leaves and returns in less than a minute. "Here",she says and gives Victoria a glass of water.Victoria collects it and sips it slowly as within her she thinks of where to start to narrate everything to her best friend."Guess who has a b
Victoria’s declaration hung in the air like a thunderclap. Nelson’s eyes widened, and his lips curled into a satisfied smirk, but she caught a flash of something darker—triumph.“Finally,” he murmured, his voice low and steady. “You’re making the right choice, Toria. Gerald doesn’t deserve you or your loyalty.”“He doesn't,” she repeated, her voice shaking. “I need to take control of my life, my future. And my daughter’s.”Nelson stepped closer, his expression softening. “And I’ll be by your side every step of the way. Whatever you need.”But Victoria wasn’t ready to let her guard down. She stepped back, clutching the envelope like a shield. “I’ll handle this myself. I need to get custody of my baby, Nelson.”He nodded his head in agreement with het. “Of course. Whatever you want. I will get you the best lawyer.”Victoria looked away, her thoughts racing. The photograph in her hand was damning, and it gave her the ammunition she needed against Gerald. But it also raised more questions
Victoria awoke the next morning to an empty bed. The space beside her was cold, the sheets undisturbed, as though Nelson had been gone for hours. Her body ached—a reminder of the night before—but her mind was restless. The unanswered questions from the text thread she’d glimpsed now gnawed at her thoughts.She reached for her phone, only to find Nelson’s still sitting on the nightstand. Her heart raced. He’d never leave it behind.Temptation won.Unlocking it with the code, she scrolled back to the messages with Mildred. The words on the screen froze her in place:Mildred: Don’t forget our agreement. You need to talk to Gerald.Her blood ran cold. What agreement? What were they hiding? And what does Gerald have to do with all of this?Nelson’s voice startled her, breaking the silence. “Looking for something?”Victoria turned to see him leaning casually against the doorframe, a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes were sharp, watching her ever
Victoria stepped out of the coffee shop, her heart heavy and her mind a swirl of emotions. Gerald’s words clung to her like a shadow, each step away from him feeling like a betrayal of the love they once shared.Her phone buzzed again. She pulled it from her bag, half expecting another message from Gerald. Instead, it was Nelson.Nelson: Back early. Dinner tonight?She hesitated before replying. Being with Nelson had become a way to escape her pain, but now it felt hollow. Her thumb hovered over the keyboard before she typed a short reply:Victoria: Sure.As she slipped the phone back into her bag, her thoughts returned to the strained conversation at the café. Gerald’s pain was raw and real, but his accusations still stung. How could he claim to still love her after what he’d done?The chill in the air bit at her cheeks as she walked toward her apartment. She needed to clear her head, to sort through the chaos.---Nelson was waiting for her when she got home, a bottle of wine open o
The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting golden streaks across the room. Victoria stirred in Nelson's arms, her mind tugged from the haze of sleep by the familiar pang of unease. The warmth of his body beside her was comforting, yet her thoughts drifted back to Gerald—the heartbreak etched into his face as he stood in the doorway.She untangled herself carefully, not wanting to wake Nelson, and padded barefoot to the window. The city below bustled with life, oblivious to the turmoil in her heart. She wrapped her arms around herself, the chill of uncertainty seeping into her bones. Despite the sizziling sex she had with Nelson last night, it couldn't still take Gerald out of her thoughts. It felt odd to be here and not with Gerald.A soft rustle behind her made her turn. Nelson was awake, his dark eyes watching her with a mix of concern and longing. "You're up early," he said, his voice husky from sleep."I couldn’t sleep," she admitted, her gaze dropping to the floor.Nel
Victoria sat by the window of Nelson's apartment, her fingers gripping the warm mug of tea he’d handed her hours ago. The skyline outside was a blur of lights, but her mind was somewhere else—stuck in the doorway where Gerald had stood, pleading with her. His voice still echoed in her ears, raw and broken.Nelson moved quietly in the background, and stood behind her. He had sensed her unease since Gerald’s departure, and though he didn’t say much, his presence was comforting. She appreciated it—but it didn’t stop the storm brewing in her chest.Finally, she set the mug down and turned toward him. “Make me forget him, please?”Nelson looked at her, his eyes darkened with lust. The vulnerability in her voice struck him deeply, stirring something primal within him. He stepped closer, his hands finding her shoulders. "I'm not only going to make you forget him, but also male sure you never forget me again, Toria" he said with a hoarse voice that made Toria shiver. She nodded, her breath
Gerald’s car screeched to a halt in front of Nelson’s building. His heart raced, panic gripping his chest. The thought of Victoria inside with Nelson twisted his insides, a vicious knot tightening with each passing second. He had to make her see reason.He parked quickly and rushed out of the car, his footsteps echoing as he approached the entrance. He tried calling her one more time, but it went straight to voicemail. “Damn it,” he muttered, clenching his fists as his mind raced with thoughts of what might be happening inside—Victoria, vulnerable, angry, and in the arms of the man he had always feared would take her from him.He didn’t care about leaving messages. He needed to act now.As the elevator ascended, Gerald’s heart pounded louder in his chest. He could feel the walls closing in around him. When the doors finally opened, he stepped out, his eyes scanning the hallway. There were only a few doors, but he knew where she would be, and he wasn’t about to let Nelson have her. He
Victoria drove aimlessly through the city, her hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions—anger, hurt, betrayal—all swirling together in a chaotic storm.She had suspected Gerald of being unfaithful, but seeing him at Mildred’s was confirmation of her worst fears. The image of him standing there, looking guilty and pathetic, was seared into her memory. Her phone buzzed on the passenger seat, and she glanced at the screen. It was— Gerald. For a moment, she considered answering the call, but then she thought better of it. She wasn't ready to talk to him. She needed someone else. Someone who could make her feel good and forget all of her sorrow. Someone like— Nelson.She knew the consequences of going to Nelson. But she didn't give a damn! Her mind was made up. She picks up her phone and dials him.“Hey,” Victoria said, her voice shaky as she spoke into the phone.“Victoria? Why are you calling me?” Nelson's voice cam
As Gerald reached the door, he paused for a moment, his hand on the doorknob. He could feel Mildred's eyes on him, her presence heavy in the room. But he didn’t look back. With a final deep breath, as he pulled the door knob, a sudden knock on the door startled them.Gerald froze, his heart skipping a beat as the sound of the knock echoed through the room. His hand remained on the doorknob, and he shot a glance at Mildred, who looked equally startled. Her expression quickly shifted to one of annoyance, her lips pursing as she walked toward the door.“Who could that be?” Mildred muttered under her breath, her tone dripping with irritation.Gerald’s pulse quickened, a cold sweat forming on his brow. What if it’s Victoria? The thought sent a jolt of panic through him. He stepped back from the door, retreating into the shadows of the room as Mildred reached for the handle.“Wait!” Gerald hissed, grabbing her wrist. “Don’t open it.” he whispered.Mildred raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying
Upstairs, Victoria lay awake, listening to the faint sounds of Gerald moving around the house. Her mind was racing, replaying the events of the past few weeks, searching for clues, for something she might have missed. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something—or someone—was coming between them. The idea that it could be Mildred made her stomach turn. Mildred was the only woman he had cheated on her with. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Victoria decided she would pay Mildred a visit. She needed to know the truth, to hear it from Mildred herself. And if her suspicions were correct, then she would confront Gerald with everything she had. She wasn’t going to let her marriage fall apart without a fight.By the time Gerald returned upstairs, Victoria was already out of bed, getting dressed.“You’re up early,” Gerald said, trying to sound casual.“I couldn’t sleep,” Victoria replied, her tone neutral. “Where were you?”“Just downstairs, needed some coffee,” he answered, avoid
