"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 his mouth sought and found hers. She closed her eyes as Gerald deepened the kiss, her mind became flooded with vibrant sensation and invaded all her deeply nursed defences against him. She felt his hands slide inside her dress, caressing her bare skin just above her breast. Surprisingly, she liked the feeling and moved her body against his in deliberate incitement, recklessly uncaring of any consequences, but in that instant he took his mouth away from hers and she opened her eyes to meet his."I'm not going to hurt you darling ", he began softly, "or do anything you don't want. Just tell me if ever you want me to stop". He concluded and immediately his lips trailed to her neck and made butterfly kisses and then to her throat."I think...i think you should stop". Victoria stammered. He looked at her shocked by her sudden change of mind as he could swear she was just as well enjoying it as he was. Did he say or do something wrong?"Victoria, is something wrong?" He asked, but she gets up, adjust her dress hurriedly, "I don't think I can do this now". She said finally and sped off.Once Victoria Morgan got to her apartment, the tears she has been holding back all the way down to her apartment came flooding down her face. She dropped heavily on her couch in the living room and weep her eyes out. Barely few minutes later, she hears a knock on her door. She opens it to reveal her predicament in flesh and blood. Nelson stood before her, staring deep into her eyes."Why did you follow me? " She managed to say amidst tears."Why did you leave? " he asked instead, "I was never going to hit you back. I am never going to hurt you".Victoria remembers how his face had looked like when she slapped him hard on the face. "It's over between us Nelson". She said as she gave him the ring he had engaged her with. "It's over".He collects the ring and grins, "Don't be silly. Whether you wear this ring or not Toria, you're mine. Forever and always"."No, I don't belong to you". She retorted.He laughs, "Come home with me darling. You and I know you'll never meet anyone like me"."Get out of my house! " She screams at him."Victoria... "He begins to say, but she bangs the door shut at him. "If I can't have you, no one else will. You can't get rid of me, you had better just kill yourself. You're mine. Mine! Forever and always". He shouts at the top of his voice.Victoria shakes her head violently to get the thoughts of Nelson out of her as she sits in her car outside Gerald's apartment. She hated how Nelson kept creeping in her head. The memories of their relationship were messing with her mind and spinning her head. She was over him, and haven't seen him for almost a year. But somehow he still ruled her thoughts and invade her dreams. And now was interfering with her future. She thought as she wondered what Gerald would be thinking after she ran off like a weirdo. Gerald was obviously the opposite of Nelson. He was a true gentleman, and she really feels like she can trust him. He was the type of man she needed in her life, but what she doubted was if she was the right woman for him. She had so many baggages from her past relationship to deal with, before she can embrace something new. The universe was presenting her a second chance at love. Was she going to throw all that over a traumatic past relationship?Gerald opens his door and was surprised to see Victoria. "You came back? "He said slowly."I'm sorry I left". She said, " I love you Gerald"."I love you too". He smiled as he scooped her off her feet and hugged her gently against his chest as he headed towards his bedroom.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 Morgan walks into her new boss's office without even knocking. She was too angry to do such a civilized thing. Stella who was in the office with their boss at that moment was shocked by Victoria's entrance."Toria how can you barge in like that?" Stella asked, stunned by her guts, but Victoria's gaze didn't budge for one second. She just stood at the entrance, glaring at Nelson."Can you give us a moment?" Nelson said to Stella. She nods and leaves them both alone in the office."You can't be acting like that here Toria, you're gonna raise eyebrows." He began in a rather shocking calm tone."What evil plan do you have rolled up your sleeve Nelson?" She asked caring less of what he said. She needed to address a more important issue."I don't get what you mean." He answered confused."What do you want with Bianca?" She probes."Wow, you know Bianca?" He said with surprise, "Have you been stalking me?" He added musingly."Don't flatter yourself. Bianca is my friend and she told
Victoria Morgan was surprised to hear a knock at her door very early the next day. She wasn't expecting anyone, not Gerald in the least. It was a weekend and all she wanted was to be alone.She finally opens the door, and Becca her friend stood with a concerned look on her face. "Good morning Becca." She greeted. "Good morning Toria." Becca replies, walking herself in. "Can you tell me what's really going on?" She quickly asks Victoria."What are you talking about?" Victoria asked, confused."Gerald called me last night." Becca says and Victoria sighs deeply."I have a salon to open and get running so you better start talking." Becca continues but Victoria kept mute as her eyes got teary."Why did you turn down his marriage proposal? Is it because of the sex thing you complained about before?" Becca asks her.She shakes her head."Then what?" Becca asks exasperatedly."I've been cheating on him." She blurted out and begins to cry."What? Since when? With who?" Becca asked shocked."
Nelson grabs a handful of Toria's right breast and starts squeezing and playing with it in his palm. Victoria bites back the moan threatening to slip past her lips as he pinched one nipple roughly.They were both naked in her living room, lying on her couch with Nelson leaning slightly on top of her as he lavishes her breasts. "I'm going to give you so much pleasure that you'll cum and cum, until you can't cum anymore". He smirked as her eyes grew wide at his words and her head tilted back as soft whimpers leaves her and heat flooded her body. Shivers of anticipation and lust ran rampant through her body.Nelson lips left her breast and landed on her neck and he nibbled, sending shivers all through her body. Slowly her returned to her breast, easing down to her cleavage area, soon he engulfs her left nipple completely in his mouth and sucks it into his warm mouth, flicking it with his tongue as the other hand tweaked and pinches the other breast. He tugged roughly at the nipple he was
Victoria clenched her fists, her heart hammering against her ribs as the weight of the plan settled on her shoulders. She had to be careful—one wrong move, and Nelson would see right through her.Gerald and Mildred exchanged another glance, their silent communication speaking volumes. They were worried about her. About how much she was risking. But there was no time for hesitation.Mildred winced as she stood, pain flickering across her face. “We don’t have much time. If Nelson suspects anything, he’ll disappear, and we may never find Cherish again.”Victoria’s throat tightened. She couldn’t let that happen.She exhaled sharply and reached for her phone. “I’ll call him.”Gerald’s hand shot out, gripping her wrist. “Are you sure?”No.But she had no choice.She nodded, pulling away and dialing Nelson’s number. The line rang once before he answered.“Well, well,” Nelson’s voice dripped with amusement. “I was beginning to think you didn’t care about your daughter, Victoria.”Her stomach
Becca’s nails dug into her palms as she stood in Nelson’s study, her heart pounding against her ribs. Cherish clung to her side, her small fingers trembling in Becca’s grasp. The little girl had been brave—silent, obedient—but Becca could feel the fear rolling off her in waves.She had just listened to Nelson’s conversation with Victoria. The threats, the manipulation, the sick amusement in his voice as he dangled Cherish’s safety like a prize.It made her stomach turn.“Nelson, you need to stop this,” she said, keeping her voice steady.Nelson turned from his desk, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand, his expression unreadable. “Stop what, Becca?”“Let her go,” she said, glancing down at Cherish. “She’s a child, Nelson. This isn’t a game.”His lips curled into a smirk. “Everything is a game, sweetheart. And right now, I’m winning.”Becca took a step forward, lowering her voice. “Victoria won’t just hand herself over. She’s not the same woman you controlled before.”Nelson’s jaw t
Mildred moved swiftly through the alleyways, her breath coming in short gasps. The sharp sting of a fresh wound on her arm reminded her just how close she had come to being caught. Nelson’s men had been relentless, but she had been smarter.She had seen the man tailing her the moment she left the safe house. At first, she pretended not to notice, walking at an even pace, blending into the crowd. But when she made a sudden turn into a less crowded street, the footsteps behind her quickened. That was when she knew—she had to run.The first attacker came at her from the left. Mildred ducked, spun on her heel, and drove her elbow into his ribs. He grunted in pain, but she had no time to celebrate. The second man lunged forward, a knife glinting in the moonlight.Pain shot through her arm as the blade nicked her, but adrenaline fueled her movements. She kicked the knife out of his hand, delivering a sharp punch to his jaw before dashing into the shadows.Now, she was safe—at least for the
Nelson set his glass down, his fingers drumming against the polished wood of his desk. Cherish will always be Victoria’s weakness. No matter what Victoria had planned, when it came to her daughter, she was nothing more than a terrified mother willing to do anything to protect her child.And Nelson was about to exploit that weakness.A response came through almost immediately."Consider it done."He leaned back in his chair, exhaling slowly. The moment Cherish was in his hands, Victoria would have no choice but to bow. She thought she could betray him? Thought she could run back to Gerald and destroy everything he had planned for both of them?Not on his watch.A sharp knock on the door made him turn. “Come in.”Carlos entered again, his expression tight. “Boss… we have our eyes on Mildred.”Nelson pinched the bridge of his nose. “Where is she?” He looked up at Carlos with an irritated glare. “I want her caught.”Carlos hesitated. “We're working on it boss.”Nelson’s jaw clenched. “I d
Nelson stormed down the grand staircase, his mind racing. The scent of Bianca still clung to his skin, a stark contrast to the cold dread creeping into his chest. He had spent years building his empire, ensuring he was untouchable. So why the hell were the police here?Carlos trailed behind him, stiff with tension. He knew better than to speak unless spoken to, especially when Nelson was in a volatile state.At the bottom of the staircase, two uniformed officers stood waiting, their faces impassive. A third man, dressed in a sharp suit, was clearly the one in charge. He studied Nelson with cool, assessing eyes.“Mr. Brown,” the man said, flashing a badge. “Detective Harris, Organized Crime Unit. We have a few questions for you.”Nelson forced a smirk, masking the irritation surging beneath his skin. “Detective, what an unexpected visit. To what do I owe the pleasure?”“We received an anonymous tip about your involvement in illegal financial activities—money laundering, blackmail, brib
Nelson pushed open the heavy oak door to his bedroom, the dim lighting casting deep shadows against the walls. His gaze landed on Bianca, bound to the bed just as he had commanded. Her wrists were cuffed to the ornate bedposts, her breathing heavy, chest rising and falling with both exhaustion and defiance.She turned her head at the sound of his entrance, dark eyes burning with a mixture of rage and something else—something that made his blood heat despite the fury simmering inside him.“Untie me,” she demanded, voice sharp despite her vulnerable position.Nelson chuckled darkly, stepping closer, his presence filling the room like a looming storm. “You have some nerve giving orders when you’re the one tied up, Bianca.”She yanked against the restraints, her body arching as she tested their strength, but the metal held firm. “Do you think this will make me talk? Make me beg?” she hissed. “You underestimate me, Nelson.”He sat on the edge of the bed, eyes raking over her form, his jaw
Mildred’s phone buzzed with a message. She glanced at it, her brow furrowing. “It’s from Bianca,” she said. “She’s in trouble. Carlos caught her trying to escape with files. She managed to send the documents to Gerald, but she’s still in his clutches.”Victoria gasped. “We can’t leave her behind!”“We won’t,” Gerald said, gripping the steering wheel. “But first, we secure you and the files. Bianca knew the risks and trusted us to use what she found. If we don’t, her efforts will have been in vain.”The car sped through the dimly lit streets, the tension inside as palpable as the stakes they faced. Victoria leaned her head back, her mind spinning with possibilities and fears.After what felt like an eternity, they arrived at a secluded building on the outskirts of the city. Gerald parked the car and ushered the women inside. The safe house was modest but secure, equipped with multiple locks and reinforced windows.“Stay here,” Gerald said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “I’m go
The ballroom’s air grew thick with tension, every eye in the room fixed on Victoria. Cameras clicked furiously, capturing her poised figure as she stood at the microphone. Nelson’s smile remained frozen in place, though the fury in his eyes betrayed his unease.Victoria gripped the edges of the podium, steadying herself. She could feel Nelson’s presence looming behind her like a dark shadow, but Gerald’s steady gaze from across the room gave her the courage she desperately needed.“Love is a beautiful thing,” she began, her voice trembling slightly but gaining strength with each word. “It’s built on trust, honesty, and mutual respect. But when any of those are missing, what remains is an illusion—a façade meant to deceive.”A ripple of murmurs swept through the crowd. Nelson’s hand tightened into a fist by his side, his mask of charm beginning to crack.“Nelson has spoken so eloquently tonight about love and partnership,” Victoria continued, turning her head slightly toward him, her t
Her bare feet pounded against the cold concrete as she ran, her breaths ragged. She didn’t know where she was going, but escape was her only thought. The thought of Carlos recovering, pushed her forward, her desperation fueling her speed.Bianca spotted a staircase at the end of the hall and bolted toward it, her heart hammering. If she could just make it to his study and get her hands on those files, she might have a chance to put a stop to Nelson evil schemes.Once Bianca reached Nelson's private study, she pushed the door open and quickly stepped inside, her eyes scanning the room. The polished desk, lined with papers and a sleek laptop, where he had taken her the day she arrived, stood at the center. She moved swiftly, rifling through drawers and documents.“Here!” Bianca exclaimed, holding up a folder labeled Confidential. Her eyes widened as she skimmed its contents—proof of Nelson’s blackmail schemes, financial fraud, and threats against influential figures.“This should do it.
