Adlan

I stared at Laura's side profile feeling intrigued and surprised. I thought I knew her, but she had definitely caught me off guard. I expected her to be hesitant to drive, but apparently, she's been waiting her whole life for this moment.

She sped throughout, almost recklessly, sometimes even drifting, and I had to remind her to slow down.

Although, I was genuinely impressed.

She looked happy, and at first, I worried that the other surprises wouldn't keep that expression on her face, but I figured if this was the only thing that could make her happy, then I wouldn't change this moment.

"Where are we going?" Her voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I realised I was staring.

"You'll see. It's a surprise," I replied, winking at her.

Laura

I stopped the car on a deserted land strip, feeling confused. I know I haven't known Adlan long, but I hoped he wasn't secretly a serial killer.

"Uhm..."

He ignored me choosing instead to get out of the car, he rounded it and opened m

    Laura I feel stressed. The past few hours have been good, and I got to forget about my problems for a while, but reality has come crashing down. I twisted my fingers, nervous; what do I even say to my brother? I moved here so I could avoid him and his problems for a while. I love my brother, but I'm so tired of covering for him when he messes up. I was pleased when he told me he was doing a master's program, but I needed to take a timeout for myself. "What are you thinking?" I turned to Adlan, staring at the way the streetlights cast shadows on his face as he drove. Would he judge me for what I was about to say? "I'm thinking… I'm happy that my brother is awake." "But..." He quickly glanced at me, eyebrows raised, telling me to finish my thought. I took a deep breath before I spoke. "I'm terrified. I haven't spoken to Christian in so long, and the last time we spoke, it didn't really go well. I don't want to fight with him,” I huffed, remembering how Christian asked for mone

    AdlanI paced outside the room, worried out of my mind. A lady who had introduced herself as Stephie came out earlier. She tried talking to me, but I had no interest in holding a conversation with a woman who was not Laura. Call me obsessive. I wondered what they were talking about. Were they fighting? I wanted Laura to be happy, and if that had to come at the expense of losing touch with her brother then so be it.I took a step towards the room, hovering between respecting their privacy and being close to Laura, when I heard a muffled thud come from inside the room. I rushed in, shocked at what I saw there. Laura sprawled awkwardly on the floor, her eyes closed and face pale, with Christian trying unsuccessfully to climb down the bed with a bandaged leg trying to get to his sister his face looking panicked."Press the call button beside your bed!” I yelled at Christian. Gosh! Was he a moron? I rushed to Laura's side, mind racing and I checked her pulse when I ascertained it was s

    LauraI gave Adlan a brief history of everything about my past, from my dad leaving us when Christian was just a baby to mom falling into depression and pining after him like a lovesick puppy even though she had two young children to take care of, her being diagnosed with cancer and later passing on when I was 15.I didn't tell him about paying my brother's debts, though. That would only make him fault him more and if our relationship was going to be a long-term thing, I wanted him and my brother to be on good terms.Adlan stared at me for a few seconds, digesting everything. He took a step closer to my bedside and bent down to hug me, his strong arms wrapping around me and providing comfort to me even though I never knew I needed it.“I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you at such a young age,"I was shocked nobody had ever felt sorry for me. At a young age, I had to step up where my mother couldn't. Way before she fell sick I h

    Adlan I returned to the car, Laura watching me with a proud expression in her eyes, it made me want to beat my chest like a caveman. "You okay?" She asked "You're not allowed to ask me that until you're better," I replied. I wanted her to focus on herself for a while without worrying about anybody, not her brother, father, not even me. For a night anyway, she can think about me later. I got into the driver's seat and ignited the engine. As I drove, I continuously glanced at Laura, trying to gauge her emotions and what she was feeling. She was pretty stoic most of the time and only allowed me to know what she was feeling through her eyes or bodily expression, which was very minimal. "You'll be okay. I promise," I said, jaw tightened. "You can't guarantee that though, not everything can bend to your power." I kept quiet because she was right, but for her, I was going to make even the stars bend. I dropped Laura at her apartment and wanted to stay with her, but I also knew she ne

    Laura"No way! That was such a dick move, you should do it again" I laughed at the story Lara told me.It's funny how I came up here ready to rage and kick down the door of this apartment, but here I was, sitting down and laughing at all the jokes and funny stories my neighbour, apparently named Lara, could tell.30 minutes earlier"Who are you?" She repeated the question again, brows bunched on her face. It should have been ugly, but it just gave her a cute pouty look.She moved to go back inside and close the door but I stopped her with a hand on the door, looking her in the eyes before I spoke. "I'm Laura from Room 6b downstairs. I get that you have a social life and love to party, but others are trying to sleep, and your music is too loud. So will you please turn it down?"It was so unnerving seeing someone look like you and yet not be related. I heard somewhere that if you saw your doppelganger, you'd die. I hope this isn't a sign that I'm about to die."I'm Lara. Sorry about th

    LauraI just got the shock of my life.Here I was thinking I was going to deliver pizza to a normal rich person, and now I'm standing in front of Adlan!I had never explicitly told him I was rich, or I hoped the girl he thought I was didn't say that, but I never told him I was poor either, and he never asked about it."Laura, what are you doing here?" His voice pulled me out of my thoughts, reminding me of last night with Lara in front of the door." I Uhm...Well, you see. I saw the delivery driver come up here and took it from him," I replied, and I stared at him, not knowing why I lied and hoping he couldn't see the sweat gathering on my forehead.I glanced down at myself to confirm I wasn't wearing a uniform and nearly sighed with relief when I saw I wasn't; at least my lie was believable.I think he was still staring at me suspiciously, but he smiled widely and then spoke. "Come in, don't mind my act, I was just shocked."I stepped in, still holding the box of pizza and coke. "So

    LauraI just delivered my tenth order for the day. Exhausted and worn out. I was ready to go home but I needed every penny right now.While driving back, my mind flashed back to two days ago about the argument I had with Adlan. He hasn't called or texted. Not even once. And why would he? I hurt him. I saw the way he looked when he knew I was lying, absolutely broken! I don't think I could face him and watch him not look at me with love in his eyes.I felt horrible about what happened but I was too much of a scaredy cat to call him and apologize. He has every right to think I was cheating on him especially when it was so obvious I was blatantly lying. Now that I think about it, why did I even lie? I shouldn't be ashamed of the job that put food on my table and clothes on my body.I drove past my old workplace but reversed back when I saw the sign that read Workers needed. Huh!

    AdlanTwo days ago, I had my first fight with Laura and I hated it. I wanted complete trust in our relationship, but it seemed we had none.She seemed heartbroken when I asked if she was cheating, so I may have been wrong but if she wasn't cheating, what was she hiding so desperately?I knew the risks of someone in my position falling in love. Ladies were more likely to pretend they loved you and then leave you when you lost everything, but I didn't think Laura was like that. Or I didn't think that up until two days ago."Sir, a woman is here to see you,” My assistant, Peggy called out from the door. Peggy was a 35 years old lady and was happily married with a husband and an adopted son. Why couldn't I have that? The wife, not the husband, and I didn't even care if we had to adopt."I don't think I have a meeting today, Peggy,” I responded. I was pretty sure I didn't have the patience to fend off any admirers today. I needed peace and quiet."Really?" She squinted her eyes at me. "Sh

    LauraI tried not to think about how many people Adlan must have laid with, to be that good, or if I was good enough. I was going to trust that he liked it the same way I was.I woke up naked and alone in bed. Adlan was nowhere in sight. I panicked a little wondering if Adlan had left before seeing the little note at the bedside table. "I'm downstairs."A small smile tucked at the corner of my lips before I walked to the bathroom feeling like a fulfilled young lady. I brushed my teeth first and tried looking for my clothes but couldn't remember where I had dropped them last night in my haste to look good for Adlan. So, I just raided his closet and took a t-shirt that stopped mid-thigh. My whole body felt heavy, a pain that served as evidence of how good last night was. I had already explored the house yesterday when the driver dropped me off, so it wasn't going to be hard to find him. He was either in his home office, living room or dining area.But I found him in the kitchen mak

    AdlanI raised my body on my elbows to look down at her. She was sweaty and had tears in her eyes, and yet, to me, she still looked so beautiful. I could tell she was still turned on and wanted more. I brushed my hand on her breasts, pinching and twisting her nipples, causing her to gasp. "Tell me what you want, baby and I'll give it to you."I trailed my hand down and inserted a finger in her entrance, groaning at the way her wet heat clung to my finger so tightly. "Fuck! You’re so tight!" I pushed it deeper, loving the way it grasped me tightly."Adlan!" She gasped, hips bucking up as I curled my finger, hitting that sweet spot inside her. I stopped watching her try to blink the haze of lust away. "Answer me, Laura. What do you want?""You. I want you to fuck me, please!"I took out my fingers and pulled back a little, spreading her legs with one hand while stroking my cock with the other."Scoot back for me, mama," she did as I asked her, filling me with intense pleasure.I presse

    LauraI left Adlan's office, mortified. I'm pretty sure Peggy knew what we were doing cause she smiled knowingly when I passed her on my way out.30 minutes earlierThe knock on the door was like a splash of cold water, jolting us back to the reality that we were still in a public place."Sir? Your 12 o'clock is here," Peggy's voice echoed through the office.Adlan straightened, pulled my panties up, and pushed my skirt down gently helping me off the desks since my legs were still a little shaky before responding. "Thank you, Peggy. I'll just be a minute late, send him to the conference room."I could physically hear her pause before replying. "Okay,” and then walked away, her footsteps fading the farther she got.He stood and turned to me, his eyes filled with a mixture of amusement and desire. "Duty calls," he murmured, a playful glint in his eyes. I huffed and pouted, unhappy with the way he seemed unaffected even with what had just gone down.He walked me to the door then paused
