Chapter 6
“Hmmmm” The person who opens the door is not exactly the person I thought it would be, he was more like my grandpa and doesn't exactly look friendly….. Why is he glaring at me!? Did I seduce his son or something?- not that I know of.
“Who are you?” Okay… it's confirmed, he had some misunderstanding and resentment towards my bloodline in the past life, I was curious to know what type of person I was ….like fifty thousand five hundred two years ago.
“If you are asking for the CEO, he's not available”
So he knows I am not here for him, how convincing!
“Hmmmm ...” damn it! If looks can kill, I would be singing under the ground inside my coffin.
“Can you talk? Or are you acting naive? Please leave, Mr Knight is not available” For a moment, I was convinced most of the People who work in big companies and corporations are either too rude or have atrocious personalities.
I was 97.0678% sure he portrayed me as a hooker or a stalker- I am seconds away from flicking his shiny forehead.
“Can I come in? Actually-”
“Leave before I call the police!!” I staggered a little when his nosy little short arms pushed me away from the doorstep and slammed the door shut.
It took approximately 60 sec 0.0009 Milliseconds for me to realise that crusty old fart pushed me away without feeling any remorse towards me.
“You assh-”
“Miss Fox” my head whipped towards the new intruder, for a second, I was worried it would be another old fart and they would gang up on me.
“Eth- Mr Knight'' I corrected myself before I could spurt out his famous name- Ethan Knight. It is no lie that he's famous, ever since he came to Jefferson town a week ago, every girl, married or unmarried had been talking about his good looks and his richness and richness.
I took a moment to appreciate his beauty, looks are deceiving and I shouldn't be silly but What's wrong in appreciating beauty? Mr Knight really looks incredibly, beautifully gorgeous.Which women won't say 'Yes' when he asks on a date!.... He looked absolutely spectacular and sinfully striking in his Louis Philippe navy blue suit. The seam rests naturally on his shoulder with perfect fitting on his waist. His muscles strains against the fabric and if it's that not drool-worthy.
“Miss Fox”
Ehh?
“Are you okay?Why are you standing there?” he asked, raising his eyes towards his front door.
I couldn't exactly tell him the truth and there are millions of debates taking place in my Brain.
“I like to stare at the lighting, it's beautiful. Apparently,I enjoy lighting-gazing.” I gave him a small smile.
“Well,Since you are already here, I won't be showering,I hope that's okay” he starts to walk towards his mansion with his bag in his right hand.
“Hmm, I can Wait” I offered. To be honest, I was curious to see his freshly showered hair.
“Well, if you are done with your lighting-gazing, please come in” he says with a small smile.
I trail behind him wordlessly just in case the old man tries to chase me away- again.
“Steven” Ethan calls when he steps in his place, my eyes scan around the interior with my mouth gape open. It was that beautiful, the neat tile-floor feels too slippery under my 80$ golden heels, however, Ethan seemed to not mind my struggle to walk around his place or he might just be ignoring me.
“Please make yourself comfortable” he says and goes towards what I assume is his bedroom, every piece of furniture in his place couldn't be less than 2k dollars and I envy that so much!
“Here is your drink” Steven, who is known as Old fart, five minutes ago handed me a glass of orange looking juice in a stylish looking glass, deciding to be a polite guest, I took a hold of the glass giving him a tight-lipped smile.
“I am not sorry about what happened before” he says walk away, disappearing to - Narnia.
The soft velvet settee is like candy floss under my ass,so soft and warm,except it's not sweet like Candy floss.
I won't be surprised if I fall asleep any second, it's hard not to. I could feel my eyelids drooping the longer my body and my ass merge with the settee.
Take me to sleep…..
“Who is she? This is not appropriate Mr Knight, Mrs Knight strictly- ”
“Steven, I get it”
“I am sorry Mr Knight, I was just worried about you”
“Doesn't give you the right to interfere in my business”
My eyes flutter shut hearing their voices, Since when did Ethan return from his shower? I remember sitting in his super comfortable Settee, waiting for him to showered.
“Miss Fox,Are you awake?”
Which Miss Fox is he talking about? I hope it's not me.
“I think she is in deep Sleep” I heard the old man whispering.
Gosh! This is vicarious embarrassment. The vicious old man must be feeling second-hand embarrassment because of my tendency to fall asleep everywhere, worst case, on my date night while waiting for my date to shower!
“Should I wake her up?”
I am awake! Hello….
“Maybe wait for her to wake up, I haven't dress anyway”
I was glad they couldn't read my mind, it was hella lot of cursing- from embarrassing myself.
I wasn't sure what posture I was in, my dress might be half open showing my blue panties or it could be rolled up to my stomach giving them the perfect view but I couldn't sit up nor wake up since they pretty much thought I was asleep.
I hope luck sided with me today in which the possibility is -0%
“Go home tonight Steven, I'll text you if I need anything” their conversation continues smoothly, completely disregarding my dilemma to wake up or stay asleep.
“Are you sure everything's okay? Your mother-”
“I am not kid, Steven” Ethan cuts him off rudely.
I believe Karma is being fair.
“You work for me, not my mom” was the last thing I heard before footsteps walked away and later I heard the door slamming.
I may sound devilish, but I was really tempted to see the look on Steven's face when that door was slammed shut.
I feel second hand embarrassment for Mr Steven.
Chapter 7Have you ever been in a situation where you don't know when,What or how to talk? Most people would have run by now but not me. Ethan freaking knight is kneeling beside me stroking my cheek while all I could do is pretend to sleep, with my eyes closed….tight.It was awkward, let me rephrase that. I wanted to sneeze but Would I get caught? Do humans sneeze while they are asleep?I don't even know…..“Miss Fox” I felt a small nudge, and that is my cue to yawn and sit up, feigning sleepy might I add.When I blinked my sleep away, I was shocked! My small heart isn't ready for the side in front of me.
Chapter 8It happens….My dad came out of nowhere holding his airgun and stomping his way towards Ethan and I. Words couldn't describe how I'm feeling.Should I be ashamed that my dad is embarrassing me with his overprotective way to handle his daughter or the fact that Ethan and I almost kissed.Although I really want to.I looked at my dad and there he stood, holding the gun proudly like some sort of medal he won after a marathon. I narrowed my eyes on him.“Honey, I didn't realise you were on a date” he spoke with some anger evident in his voice.
Chapter 9There was nothing more terrifying than seeing your sister being dragged out of the living room while she was drunk out of her mind. My mind is trying to comprehend why Piper was drinking heavily at 5 am while she was Pregnant! Yes,Piper was pregnant with Daniel’s and my dad was so disappointed.My parents are more like Sex after marriage type and I honestly respect their decision. But Piper is a matured woman and my parents had no rights to break them apart. This morning I was sadly woken up by Piper's scream. I was forced to wake up and drag my butt that weighed tons of pounds down the stairs. However, the sight was terrifying and pitiful. My sister was crying while dad was dragging her out of the living room.Our family, my brother a
Chapter 10Dinner with Ethan was very fun and satisfying,We talked about almost everything but When Gareth tagged along with us, it was another whole story. The two of them kept on looking back and forth , with no words spoken in between.I was stuck,as in traffic.If there are words to describe how I am feeling, it would be between awk-xious which is between anxious and awkward. Is that even a word?The whole situation screams 'crazy night on Jefferson town’Food was the only thing that helped me survive this evening.When Gareth walked in on me and Ethan almost locking
Chapter 11Andrew,Sadie,Jake and I were on the way to the store for grocery shopping. It has been our tradition to go to the store once every two week, Andrew is the oldest Fox brother, Sadie is my sister who is only two years apart, and Jake is only a year older than me which explains our close relationship. He's always there when I grow up unlike Paige who already got married by the time I turned nine and moved out of the house. Paige is nine years older than me with the most striking feature among my dad's daughters.Lucky woman but my niece and nephew took after their father and they weren't exactly a beautiful kid, they looked more like a naughty ugly puppy with zero manners and made a mess of my house when they visited us. They reminded me of Racoons but I love them to bits although they drive me insane with their screaming and howling when my mom tries to feed them beans and raw tomato. I understand why my mom and her grandchildren never get
Chapter 12There are days I wished for the rain to flood the town of Jefferson town, especially on the annual sports just so I could skip the occasion or the annual sports to get cancelled. But after ten years of praying and failing miserably everytime, I quit.Everyyear, I was forced to run a marathon and entertain the guests with my awful singing just because I was the daughter of the Mayor. I swear the town folks walked over me because I am Nicholas Fox youngest daughter.It was awful and not fair.It was not fair for Saddie and Jake to accuse me of having feelings for Mr Knight who is all smiles and is now heading towards me.
Chapter 13Peyton lies on the hospital bed,lifeless and weak. I haven't been able to think properly ever since the moment I saw her on the floor with blood oozing out from her head. I thought I almost lost her, negative thoughts are sucking the soul out of me. My body hurts from my own emotions weighing me down.I thought that I always had a semblance of control. But I wasn't prepared for this.My dad had encouraged me to stay strong and had given me many hugs but how was I supposed to stay okay when my friend tried to kill herself?Was she going through something I don't know?Everything hurts….
Chapter 14I could tell you the exact moment where my life began to pile with drama and drama. It subtly began when a certain billionaire decided to ask me out on a date or perhaps it might have begun when my dad decided to marry the most dramatic human in my twenty years of life. It was not a secret that Adah Fox was the most dramatic woman in the whole Jefferson town.There are some moments which I’d wished to rewind and start all over again partly because I was too embarrassed or my mom had embarrassed me. Right now, it was neither,Rather my dad,Mom and Gareth were gaping with their mouths hanging open staring at Ethan and myself like We are dancing to a Shakira song,twerking our butt in the hallways of the hospital.Now that I had thought of the possibilities,
Chapter 36 It's been a week since I came home from New York. It's been the best week in my home with my dad and my naughty niece and nephews. Piper is so huge with her nine months old baby bump. When she greeted me yesterday, I cried instantly because let's be honest. I've been so emotional and sensitive lately, crying over small things such as hearing Ethan's voice and seeing Gareth’s face. Currently, Piper and I were knitting woollen socks for her baby and I cried...again because the tiny socks are freaking cute. I imagined myself knitting tiny socks for my future kids and warm spreads in my chest. “Do you know if it's a baby girl or a baby boy?” I asked my sister who seemed to be glowing with happiness.
Chapter 35“Are you okay?” Ethan asked me,while I was putting on my clothes. He buttoned up his shirt,his eyes feasting on my body without an ounce of shame.But that doesn't mean I didn't crave for his attention.“I’m more than Okay. I feel strangely energetic” I smirked ”And freshly fucked…” He groaned and threw his head back.“Don’t say things like that if you want to walk out of my office without limping” He smirked knowingly.I threw my head back and laughed, shaking my head.“I’m too sore for that,Ethan”&nb
Chapter 3418+(mature content ahead)I jumped at his voice,blinking back the tears. Ethan's arms snaked around my waist pulling me unexplainably close towards him, his breath fanned over my face. His minty breath is one I’m so addicted to and all I wanted to do was taste his red soft lips. My wishes were fulfilled when his warm,soft lips came down on mine, almost knocking me over because of the force. I couldn't explain the relief in my chest when he pulled me closer as if the non-existence distances between our bodies is not enough. I moaned when his hands started to fondle my breast through my thin cotton tops.When I’m sure that my knees won't let me stand, Ethan pulls away slowly releasing my body and stares down at me. “Does that answer your questions or should I expl
Chapter 33“We met again,”Zach grinned from his seat, watching me with amusement evident in his eyes. I looked down at my shoe blushing like crazy. What's with me blushing around a gorgeous guy that isn't Ethan.“Indeed.What a coincidence!” I replied, sending him a smile.“Are you married?” Was his next question although the marital status of mine is not relevant to any of my books or our work.“Uh- No?” I make a face at my own reply. Zach stared at me with interest and then started typing on his laptop, making a clicking sound continuously. I hated that he's my editor, I wasn't even talented enough to let people read my works.&nb
Chapter 32Dressed in my warm sweaters and jeans along with my Ugg boots, I waited for Ethan to pick me up for our date. My hair is tied in a low bun, letting a few strands fall on my face.I applied my nude lipstick to make it look more natural in case red makes me look like a bitch. There has been a zoo of butterflies settling in my stomach ever since Ethan asked me out on a date last night. I felt so happy and giddy, my blood pumping with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I wrapped my neck with the scarf because apparently New York climate has the coldest air and as much as I wanted to flaunt my legs in my short dress, I don't want to end up in a hospital bed after my date.An hour later, I’m ready to retire in my bed because I don't want to start cussing Ethan in my bed because he stood me up. On our d
Chapter 31Ethan pov“Steven, Meet me in my place” I hung up the call and loosen the hold of my tie needing to breathe. I need a fucking logical thinking to take care of my fiance. Why was she drunk last night looking so fucking sad and miserable like I had wounded her trust?Had I done something wrong? I couldn't stop thinking about the way she recoiled from my touch in the morning. Months ago, I wouldn't even be obsessing over a girl much less engaged but when it comes to Winter, I want her everyday in my life no matter how cringey as it sounds.The sound of footsteps entered my apartment, Steven stepped into my office with his signature frown on his face.
Chapter 30Three months later,I wake with the sun, with no sounds of birds chirping. Instead the sound of Ethan’s blaring alarm greeted my ears like an annoying buzzing of bees. I hit the device, halting the series of noises from deafening my ears. Ethan's heavy arms are daped around my waist, my naked body cocooned by his broad, warm body. I turned my face towards his peacefully sleeping form. I couldn't believe that someone that looked angelic and kind as Ethan is my fiance. I traced my fingers at the tip of his nose, his lips and finally down to his neck applying pressure and tickling there. I’m met with a groan.I smiled internally.“I told you not to do that” Groaned a deep,throaty
Chapter 29DripDripDrops of water dripped on the shiny, golden floor. I almost felt sorry if not for the fact that my body is shivering, I could have imagined my lips turning blue because of the standing under the shelter in my soaked clothes for God knows how long. When the elevator dinged, I had the sudden urge to jump and sing but I didn't have much time before I accidentally fell unconscious from the cold. Is it just me or Why does it feel like I’m with Jack on the Titanic. My feet shuffled towards the front door of Ethan's place, the door knob unlocked with a click after the third attempt because my shaking thumb is of not much help at the moment.I let out a scream seeing Ethan on the couch, si
Chapter 28I racked my brains thinking of various new plots which I have to submit in a few weeks. Leen had asked for something more different than my old style and I had a hard time working on it.New piece, new style, The pressure, the insecurities,Ethan, Peyton. Damn it! I couldn't think of a single sentence that made sense to me. I was tempted to write horror books, but was too much of a wuss to start imagining spirits and possessed characters, to make it live on my paper.Definitely not going there even if I’m tempted to do so.I was sitting, with my legs tucked under my butt, brainstorming ideas and eating ice-cream until the taste made me nauseous. The only thing I gained is my weight which is in serious need of running, so that's what I decided to do. A run in the park could perhaps give me inspiration.I put on my running gear and pulled my hair up in a p
