Laura He sat on the bed with his loose tie and his ruffled shirt. He stared at nothing in particular, making sure not to meet my gaze as I stood in front of him. He rubbed his knuckles and twirled his wrist as if preparing for another fight and I sighed, causing him to look up at my face. His gaze held emotions similar to disgust and anger but it wasn't directed at me but at the guy from earlier. But why? "Are you gonna say something or you're just gonna keep staring?" "You don't get to speak to me in such manner!" his voice was stern, different from what I have come to get used to. "What do you mean?" I asked with a frown and he blinked away, still twirling his wrist. "Does that hurt?" I asked, staring down at his busted hand. "Does it matter?" he got up from the bed and walked towards the door. "What's up with you, Adlan? I don't get what exactly this attitude is for!" he stopped before turning back to face me abruptly. His look hardened as he walked closer
AdlanSomehow, I was bound by the anger in my heart—one my whole life seems to be built on. That anger that seems to be my only personality now. I could always feel the intensity swelling in my throat, tightening in my chest and hardening my fist. I could be a literal god at that moment if I wanted. I could be Hades, I could be Zeus and I could even be Thor. It just drives me crazy and almost lose my mind.I could feel my body intensify at every passing second and I could do more harm than good at that moment.But, I wanna be better for her. I wanna manage my anger and be gentle with her. I wanna try my best. Right now, I could feel the build-up of desires rising within me. Staring down at her made my desire grow intensely. I wanted her so badly but I still managed to make sure she wanted me equally and her words just drove me to a world of outright ecstasy. I kissed the side of her neck, nibbling on her skin and she let out a satisfying soft moan that pushed me further. I strolle
Laura I sat in the cafe with the milk tea and a cinnamon roll drenched in raspberry pudding on the table in front of me. The cafe was busy just like my mind but I sat in a more cozy and quiet section with a view of the outside world. I wrapped my lips around my paper straw and took a long sip of my drink before taking a bite of my cinnamon roll. “My life can’t be real!” I said to myself after taking in a deep, frustrated breath. I haven’t gotten a call from Adlan since last night and that alone was driving me nuts. Hiding behind my ego and sinking in my pride, I wasn’t willing to give a call to him either. “It wasn’t my fault!” Last night, we were so passion-driven with intense sensual feelings. He was aroused and his boner was piercing through my inner thighs, throbbing against my lower skin. I was about to explode from the intense feeling of sexual emotions that drove me to stroke his cock. He moaned in my ears and let out a soft smile. He was ready to o
Laura I heard a cry and didn’t even realize it had come from me until strange hands pulled me up from where I had knelt on the ground. I pushed past them and ran to the ambulance, desperate to get to my brother. “Hold on, ma’am, only one family member is allowed,” the paramedic said, holding a hand in front of me and stopping me from getting in. “I’m his sister!” I yelled into his face, overcome with emotion. He frowned and turned back to the ambulance, where I noticed a strange girl sitting and staring at me. “Do you know this woman?” he asked the girl, and she shook her head, saying no. What the hell! A strange pain ripped through my chest at the sight of this stranger sitting where I was supposed to be and claiming she didn’t know me. The realization that my brother might have never mentioned me to her hurt even more. The paramedic continued talking, but my ears were ringing. I only caught the end of his sentence; “…to the hospital.” I stood there in shock, still crying, when
Adlan I stared at her for a minute. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked scared. It wasn’t until I remembered I had come here pissed that it occurred to me my face might be scaring her, especially after last night. I quickly schooled my features into an emotionless mask. “What are you doing here?” we asked at the same time. I paused and motioned for her to go first. She opened her mouth but was interrupted when a passerby jostled her shoulder. I remembered we were standing in the middle of the hospital doorway, blocking the entrance. It didn’t stop me from glaring at the man as I led her to the seats in the waiting room. “What happened?” I asked again. I brushed her hair back from her face so I could get a full view of her beautiful brown eyes. She blushed and looked down. “My brother got in an accident downtown,” she said, this time without interruption. I thought back to the traffic that had held me up on the highway and silently thanked God she hadn’t been involved. Th
Laura I didn't know what I expected. It wasn't like Adlan came from a monster, but the round little man lying in the middle of the big bed was definitely not what I had pictured. I looked around the room, noting the size and beauty; it must have cost a fortune to get a private room. This wasn't the first time I had wondered how rich Adlan was. I hid a little behind Adlan's huge frame, watching the tense exchange between the father and son. Adlan's jaw had continuously clenched, his eyes ablaze with fury. "Adlan! My favourite son, you came!" His father bellowed, his voice more jolly than I expected it would be, considering the tense atmosphere. He raised his hand to beckon Adlan closer to give him a hug, though from the looks of it that was the last thing on Adlan's mind. "I think you meant Andrew by the way, why isn't your precious son here?" He replied. His father's eyes dim a little at the rejection. He huffs a little, ignoring the question, though, before he shifts his eyes
Laura I have a shower to prepare for tonight; as I dressed up, my mind flashed back to earlier... 4 hours earlier The car ride was quiet and tensed due to what happened moments before. I didn't regret choosing Adlan, though, no matter what he said or thought if given a chance, I would still do it again. His posture was tense, so I made an effort to calm him, "I don't regret picking you," I said but he didn't turn to me, but his lips quivered a little bit to show he heard me. I continued, "But I don't want you to regret anything." He glanced at me, this time frowning. "I won't ever regret choosing you, not now nor ever." He growled out. I shook my head, "That's not what I meant, I'm talking about your father." He tensed up again but didn't say a word. I pushed on," The fact that, that could be the last time you ever talk to your dad. Do you want that to be your last memory of him?" He chuckled, his shoulders shaking. I looked at him confused, "What's so funny?" He reached ou
Adlan I paced in my living room, hoping to God my assistant truly followed the instructions I asked to make tonight perfect. Laura thinks tonight will be a continuation of what happened earlier, but she's in for a surprise because that's the furthest thing from my mind. I need to show her, I'm not with her for only her body. I want her body, mind and soul everything she has to offer, I want it all. "Calm down, man. I've never seen you like this over a woman before", Jordan, my best friend, said. He flew in from Peru yesterday and landed to torment me once I called and told him I was in love. "You don't understand, she is different... She's special!" I ran a hand through my hair, stressed the fuck out. The idiot just laughed. We met when I was in college and tried to pay my way through without my father's help; suffice to say, it didn't go very well, and he helped me out. His parents own the Hale group focused on entertainment and he's set to take it. "To be honest, I'm eager t
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
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 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! What happened to Peter and the bullies?I parked the car and stepped out, hoping to beg my old manager to ta
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
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
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
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
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
