Daphne stared at him, confused but she took the bag and opened it.It was a lease contract regarding a 400- sqm office in a prime location with an annual rent of $200,000.There were also several photos and a key to the property in the file bag.Daphne’s jaw dropped.She looked up at him and asked in a daze.“Do you own this office?Are you renting it out to me?”While Daphne wasn’t a real estate expert, she knew a little about the market.This large office was in such a good location,there was no way it’d be rented out for anything less than $2 million,let alone $200,000.There was a towel draped around her slender neck.He gently pulled each end of the towel, forcing her to get close to him.Their foreheads rested against each other, their lips so close that it would meet if either of them moved an inch.Daphne lowered her eyes, shyly.At this moment,she could feel how sincere he was with his offer.And then she leaned forward and kissed him,gently.Griffin kissed her back but he didn’t
Griffin had vowed at that time never to propose to any woman.He stopped believing in love and in marriage.Over the years,he had met a lot of women and had been with a few,sexually but the thought of marriage has never crossed his mind again.Griffin made his way back to the house.Seeing that he looked troubled,Daphne asked.“Are you okay?”Griffin stared at her, intently.Daphne was dressed in a floral dress accompanied by a champagne suit jacket.Her luscious,long brown hair cascaded down to her waist, emanating an air of grace and beauty.Griffin crooked his finger and signaled her to come closer to him.When she did,he pulled her into a warm embrace.Wrapping his arms around her,he said,softly.“I talked to Nora on the phone when I was on my business trip.I called her to inquire about your father’s health.She mentioned to me that your birthday was a few days ago.I’m sorry I was away on your birthday.Let me make it up to you.Are you free on Saturday?”Daphne felt so special by his
Layla paused,thinking about her options.She murmured, "I want to! I want a divorce but I can't accept this. I've spent so many years with him and yet I can't compete with that despicable bitch."Daphne let out a sigh.She stayed with her friend until it was evening and by now,Layla drank herself to stupor.Daphne had to call Fred and requested that he come to pick up Layla.However, to her surprise, even though Fred answered the call, he showed no willingness to come get Layla.“While you guys are yet to sort out your problem and you’re still cheating on her,she’s still your wife and you should come get her.”Daphne pressed.In a defensive tone, he retorted, "Daphne, it's none of your concern! Yes, I’m cheating on Layla but do you honestly believe she's without fault? Who can tolerate her unbearable temper?"Daphne felt a surge of anger within her.She responded icily, "If you can't bear it, then file for a divorce!Not that cheating is right in any way, but did you seriously have to st
Owen let out a sad sigh.”Unfortunately, that intermediary was involved in a car accident two days ago and is comatose at the moment. I fear the possibility of him being left in a vegetative state for a while. If that were to occur, I might never reunite with Grace and my daughter."Griffin took a deep breath, his focus momentarily shifting.In response, Daphne let out a sigh and removed her hand from her mouth,her eyes were fixed on him.And then she decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.Getting off his laps, she knelt down between his legs.Griffin eyes dilated realizing what she was about doing.Griffin had been teaching her how to touch him before he had gone on his trip.And Daphne could say she had improved.As she leaned upwards on her knees and held his dick.He quickly held her hand and whispered.“Wait.”Daphne suppressed a laughter.He clearly was having fun touching her and watching her trying not to scream.Now it was his turn.She pushed his hand away and put h
Daphne thought about the roses by her pillow in the morning, the piano, and their intimate moments.Was there perhaps another woman he was into?No.He had told her she was the only person he was seeing.Then what was it then?Did he not believe in love?She pouted knowing that if she confesses her feelings to him,it would be the end of what they both had.Quietly, she prepared a midnight snack for him, placing it in an insulated container on the table. When he was ready to leave the study, he would see it waiting for him.Sitting in the living room, Daphne checked the financial statements of the music studio. Then she took a shower, tending to her skincare routine.*********Late at night,Griffin sat in the study.He was surrounded by smoke-filled air and cigarette butts in the ashtray. As he finished his last cigarette, he crushed the box and discarded it.With his eyes feeling weary, he realized it was getting very late.Standing up, he made his way out.The living room was dim, il
Renee squinted slightly, her eyes narrowing as she observed the scene before her.She had recently learned that Griffin had a girlfriend, and that had made her come back to Chicago. She wanted to see who this woman was that had captured his heart.When Renee first laid eyes on Daphne, she couldn't help but feel that Daphne was just an ordinary woman. But it was Griffin’s reaction that intrigued her.“Griffin, won't you show me around the house?"Renee asked playfully, as if they had been good friends for many years.He quietly glanced at the spot where Daphne had stood just moments ago. After a long pause, he looked away and replied, "There are several elders who are eager to see you.”She attempted to hold his arm, but Griffin skillfully evaded her and said,”Renee, it's not appropriate.”The smile on Renee’s face disappeared, a fleeting hint of vulnerability appearing in her eyes as she softly murmured, "You were always so eager to hold me in the past."Griffin walked briskly towards
Lucia, perpetually cheerful, now felt a twinge of sadness. Worriedly, she inquired, "Are you going to break up with my brother?"Break up?Daphne smiled softly and assured her that such a thing wouldn't occur.After all, they were merely companions driven by sexual desire.Lucia watched as Daphne entered the car and then she headed back to the party clutching the gift.Upon stepping inside the house, she came face to face with Griffin."Where is Daphne?" Griffin asked as soon as he saw her.Lucia pursed her lips and replied, "Are you done dancing with your ex-girlfriend?Since you didn’t make her feel needed here,she left."Raising the box in her hand, she announced, "It's a gift from Darling Daphne.”Eager to unveil its contents, she settled onto the sofa and opened the box.Griffin contemplated leaving, but an inexplicable curiosity compelled him to see what Daphne gave Lucia.Daphne had not told him about the gift she had prepared for Lucia.As Lucia opened the box, she discovered t
Daphne was on verge of igniting her car’s engine when her phone rang out again.Picking it up,she saw that it was Griffin.Taking a deep breath,she answered it.“Hello.”Hearing her sweet voice,Griffin shut his eyes for a moment.It was only then he realized how much he had missed her.They hadn’t seen or spoken to each other for almost a week.Anytime he gets home in the evening,she was already asleep and he often leaves before she wakes up.“Where are you?”He asked,softly.“I’m heading home.”She replied.Griffin glanced at his watch and informed her.”I’ll be coming home for dinner today.Please make me something.”A few seconds of silence passed before Daphne agreed.After ending the call,she stared at the phone,sadly.She felt so many emotions at the same time and it made her feel drained.She no longer felt the excitement to cook for him and to sleep with him anymore.How can she sleep or cook for a man who loves another woman?Still,she felt love for him.A love that was one-sided.
