Chapter 14|Kill me and hide my body?
She shook her head, surprised to see a pistol, hanging out from Taiwo's jacket as he hurriedly came in.
It was unlike him to be so forgetful and careless about such little details. The man was a symbol of composed and cold himself.
Aside from the fact that he was 10 minutes late, which was unlike him, he looked really worried.
"Good morning," she greeted, as chirpy as a bird.
"Good morning Miss. Bolanle." He whispered, giving her a thankful nod as she offered him a cup of coffee.
No sugar, no milk. She read about his likes and dislikes more than once. So much that her employee manual now has ears at its edges.
He seemed disturbed and she could see through his cold demeanor, that he was on the brink of losing it.
"You will want to tuck in your gun if I were you. Not the least ideal for an employee to se
Chapter 016|Even the Devil was once an AngelSo, the more she looked with that thought in her head, the image in front of her was beginning to morph and soon, she didn't notice a man that had such a beautiful grin he hid perhaps because he knew the effect it had on people and kind of make him human but she could see him as an ice King that was once a boy. Vulnerable, unloved, scared. He wasn't the Governor then and didn't wield so many powers. She just needed to remind him of how much he wanted to feel something rather than focus on him now that didn't feel anything at all because, for all she knew, a heart still beats inside this dear man, this moment confirms it, all she needed was to remind it and teach it how to beat faster because after all, even the Devil was once an Angel. They drove back to the capitol in absolute silence.***Jasmine dropped the complaint document Taiwo had ordered her to file against the government sch
Chapter 017|He needs a therapist, not youIt was past closing hours but Jasmine had stayed behind to work on a drafted contract that she was meant to submit the first thing on Taiwo's desk for his signatures. As she worked, she hummed softly. Her hands stilled on her system as she felt his presence before she saw him. His lurking intimidating aura demanded attention. His guards were down, probably because he had not expected her to still be in the office or he was way tired to pretend but, whichever it was it gave her a glimpse of Taiwo behind his office because at that moment he looked his real 28 years of age and slightly even more vulnerable. She stood up, meeting his gaze. She could perceive the unmistaken stench of the alcoholic beverage, Tequila. Interesting, Drinking too. His eyes drank in her every movement like a predator to prey as she tried to grasp what was happenin
Chapter 018|Untill I take everything I give himHis eyes were on a book but his mind was in on a reckless search. Ever since the one time slip he had with his assistant, Jasmine, he has never been himself. A part of him wanted her to reject his offer, stare into his eyes, and tell him how delusional and wrecked she thinks he was to even preposition such an offer. Another part of him just wanted her, had wanted her from the very first time he had set his eyes on her. The very first day she had entered his office, confidence in her eyes, defiance in her tone. Normally on Friday evenings, he should be calling one of his standby girls, he should be booking a hotel and a room with another name, he should be ball deep into another woman allowing her to free him momentarily of the stress and thoughts, but still so much in control that he knows how to grab a gun if he suspects foul play. &nb
Chapter 019|Love just makes things tardy and messyHe nods at her, a silent approval and immediately she lowered herself to the seat in front of her. He dropped the book with a huff almost immediately giving up his pretense which was by the way so unconvincing. "Before you tell me your answer I need to let this all out. Friday night, was a big mistake, I don't kiss ever. What we are going to be having is just sex, kissing makes it too intimate. Secondly, I must always be in control, always and I don't give heads ever__" Her lips curved into a smug grin mentally, she was a virgin, not a prude, and know what heads meant and had an idea why a man like him can never go down on any woman, he will be lowering his guard, bending down in front of her, sacrificing his ego and worshipping her body. ".. I should always be in control, I have to. And lastly, one of the rules most of my sex partners have failed in keeping is
Chapter 020|My dirty little secret"Third rule." He continued. Jasmine rewatched yet another make-up tutorial immediately after staring at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but notice something was missing. She grabbed her foundation and dusted it on her face, awkwardly just like the girl on her phone with the too wide a smile was doing. "No emotional ties, no emotional support, don't expect to be meeting my family or friends and shit like that." She gave him a smug grin, "Because you have no family or friends, the last time I checked?" He scoffed. "No, because you're my dirty little secret amongst others and that's all." The smug grin fell off her face even as she looked away not wanting to give him the impression that he had hurt her with his blunt insult even though she couldn't help but feel that was his aim. He wanted her to back out from the agre
Chapter 021|Pleasure and guilt "Keep your legs wide open." He instructed again as her legs trembled and closed on their own accord. She did as he instructed as he maneuvered in between her legs still fully clothed. His hand trailed down her neck softly making her gasp, at how teasing his touch was, as he speared fire everywhere he met. He brought his lips down the valley of her breast, again and again, making a satisfying oomph sound. "And your breasts," he whispered as he took a nipple in between his lips, flicked his tongue against the hard nub, and tugged it between his teeth before opening his mouth and taking as much of her as deep as he could. She moaned throwing her head back as her core was even more slickened with arousal. "I have longed to see, to touch, to caress." His lips curved into a snide evil smile, "You love the fact that you have po
Chapter 022|Easier making promisesShe felt silly covering her body because she was comfortable a while ago half-naked under him, but she couldn't resist the urge to cross her leg to stylishly bring her hands a little over her body but he caught her in the act. He shook his head, raising her body and making her boneless body as a result of being wrecked by him, stay in a sitting position while he focused on making her stare at the mirror in front of them. "This" he whispered, his hand wandering over her body, her breast, he spanked her ass, his hand splayed over her tummy, his hand went to her core, lightly brushing his finger against it, making her sigh. "It should be a sin to have such a body and still feel the need to cover perfection," he whispered into her ears, she stared at the woman in front of her. Her cheeks were flushed, her lips partly open, her eyes held the hint of so much lust and already, she looked l
Chapter 023|The feeling of shame"Don't move Jasmine, it will only make it worst. I know you hate me now and feel like just choking me with whatever you lay your hands on but just stay still." "Shit," he mumbles, his eyes wide open as he finally processed what was truly going on. She was a beautiful woman, that makes head turn wherever she goes, he has seen the way most of his male staff and most time business partners ogle at her, whenever she walks past them or accompanies him for a business meeting. The thought that a grown adult Nigerian woman like herself had never been with a man seemed absurd to him. A virgin was his first girlfriend Lola, timid and unsure about her next words, a 17 years old teenager and in SS2. He could remember the first time they both have heard sex, he had been so drunk and she had been so scared. Bo

Chapter 072|GoodbyeJasmine smiled uneasily at the unfamiliar faces she met in what looked like a frat-house dormitory, who looked nothing like normal school children if their moustache was anything to go by. Deciding not to raise alarm until she has confirmed Chucks was fine and well, she followed one of the acne faced teenagers that had found her at the gate of the boarding school, confused and worried as to why the school administration denied being aware of anybody like Chucks in their school, and had told her he knew where Chucks was while making a mental note to hit her speed dial and call on one of her security guards if she suspected any foul play.She cringed at the torn dirty curtain while clutching her purse closer to her as she stepped into the dimly-lit sitting room.She all but leapt to where Chucks sat, her face glowing with pure joy but stopped when she got to where he was.“What are you doing here?” she narrowed her gaze at Kehinde who just walked into the room and th
Chapter 71|Stay Her eyes were trained on him as she cocked the gun pointing it at her head. "Be careful of what you choose to tell me, Taiwo else I promise you I would blow my brains right away and you'll have to live with the guilt that you're the reason why I'm dead." "Why are you doing this, Jasmine?" "Because you won't tell me the truth if I don't so the clock is ticking, Taiwo. Did you know?" Both their gaze clashed in the room as she placed her finger threateningly on the trigger. 5 days ago Jasmine smiled as Taiwo held onto her even with his eyes closed as she tried to slip out of his bed. “Stay,” he huskily mumbled into her ear making her groan as she wondered how a girl was supposed to say no to such a sexy throaty bedroom voice that turned her brains to mush. “You don’t play fair,” she complained pouting even as his arms wound around her waist and lined her back against his groin so she felt his erection and moaned. “And so tempting but sadly I would have
Chapter 070|Home to her "Love is knowing that the person you have that feeling for just might not be perfect, learning the ugly, the messy, the heartbreaking, the scandalous and still not able to feel differently about that same person." Her breath hitched as she told herself again and again not to have hope, not to get all excited. Not to think he was talking about her, them. "The picture of the butterfly, I can't look at it now without remembering your own crazy interpretation. It hurts so much." Her eyes met his. "So you brought it down?" She asked because that was the right, sanest thing to do unlike her who had made an unhealthy habit of strolling around Surulere like a psycho, her legs digging into the mud and her eyes welling with tears. "Yes, I removed it off the wall." Then he stood up, watching her expression as he walked towards her while she just stared. "I took it upstairs, just opposite my bed, so it was the first thing I saw when I woke up and the last when
Chapter 069|Lover of the yearJasmine opened the door with a smile on her face which fell the minute she noticed the person on the other side. "Why are you here and how do you know I live here?" "How are you doing?" Jasmine smiled a bit as she walked out of the threshold allowing him to walk in. "Good." He held her hand and she shrugged it off. "You have 5 minutes to say whatever you have to say. Like I told you before we have nothing to talk about but if you must take my time and yours make it snappy." He nodded and realising how easily he had made everything intense, he looked away, his eyes now on the wallpaper She wanted to kiss the frown off his face, take off his jacket and tell him just how much she missed with and how surreal it feels to have him in her house, with her but she didn't. She just stared coldly at him, taking a seat adjacent to his thankfully for once sticking to her rationality and not getting her hopes up. For all she knew, he just
Chapter 068|Home is not a placeHe gave her a little unsure smile. "Are you sure because well, you always saw something in me that no one else did." He held her hand. "Nothing feels the same without you anymore." "This is the best decision for everyone, trust me." "Is it? The team is moving, I mean the only home you truly know, your memories with Sir Young resides there, your short but helluva impressive speeches were made in the courtyard of those homes and everything you truly hold dear is in there and I'm being whisked off to a boarding school? And you think that is the best thing?" "Sir Young would always say that home is not a place but in here," she touched the right side of her chest. "That's why wherever you go and whatever you do, it doesn't change how and what I think of you. You'll always be home to me, I'll choose you again and again and again if need be because that's what family would do." "Do you think Sir Young would have approved if he was alive?" "He w
Chapter 067|A freak"But what if I can't rid her of her urge to kill and she can't quit the business or __"Bayo stood up. "Who said anything about you ridding her of the urge to kill. You can't do that for her, she has to make that decision herself besides don't be too sure you still have a woman waiting for you to come to your senses at whatever pace convenient to you." He shook his head amused. "Besides even if she wants to leave all she has known all her life because of you, your track record of being an ass only makes her truly foolish at decision making just like you. Of all the girls in the world Taiwo, you just had to fall for the leader of an outfit. Classical." And then he was walking out leaving Taiwo behind with a goofy grin that soon transformed into a panic-stricken one as he immediately reach for his phone.***She flipped through the tabloids she had bought down the road against her better judgement, Taiwo's picture splashed on the front cover the only thing she cared
Chapter 066|A criminal"How is Jasmine?" Taiwo's steel like gaze was set on the blank wall as he clenched his jaw not knowing what Bayo was playing at but not currently in the mood to deal with it. Going to work every day was tough enough, just gaping at Jasmine's cubicle which was still untouched like a total loser and taking it out on his assistants and work made him completely drained, angry and tired? He didn't want to deal with discussing her, he didn't want to open his mouth and say her name because then the pain in his heart would feel real, and with reality comes fear. He was stricken with fright that he just might never be able to hear that name again without feeling his insides squeezing. "Last I heard about her, she was fine." He managed to say in a tone that suggested he was both uninterested and not willing to discuss Jasmine. "Why have you only been hearing about her and not from her?" He scoffed, giving Bayo a disbelieving glare and sighing, he walks to
Chapter 065|The ghost of itTaiwo finds himself pushing yet another faceless woman off his body. The third in five days. "Just go." He ordered, opening her bag and placing a filled leaflet of a chequebook to her and stands up expecting her to hurriedly leave but he was taken aback by her voice. "Why?" None of them ever speak to him. Ever. It was precise and spelt out. Sex. Money. Nothing in-between. And he regretted not sticking to that routine with Jasmine, no he should have not neglected his instinct and would have stayed the heck away from her and now, he was suffering the consequences with this insufferable ache around his chest he couldn't shake off regardless of how hard he tried, the reason why he couldn't be with any woman, why he went to work and found himself gazing at her empty cubicle not knowing two things if he'll ever get rid of the feeling of expecting her to be there magically raising her brow at him because he was staring like nothing had happened, a sassy s
