I stared at Elena blankly, waiting for her to say something to correct whoever this confused fellow was. But she did nothing, only stared down at her feet in guilt.
"What is he talking about?" I wondered, my mind suddenly going to Amy. There was no way this man was Amy's father, he looked too young to be her father but I couldn't judge if he was just a younger looking person. If Amy wasn't her actual sister and was just someone else's child, it would change a lot of things as I had problems with working with dishonest people.
"Greg, can you give us some space to talk?" She started to say but the strange man was quick to interrupt.
"No don't give us any space, you will only end up running away again. If you have anything to say to me, say it in front of this man." He argued, wiping beads of sweat off his forehead.
"What child is he talking about?" I asked Elena but she still remained silent. "Amy?" I contin
We got home and she still did not speak a word to me. Amy was at the dinner table chit chatting with one of the maids and she did seem a lot better than when I'd left her. Elena looked up at me one more time before going to where her sister was seated on the table. "Hey." I noticed the relief in Amy's eyes as she met Elena's gaze. "I thought you left me again." She said with a sad smile. "You know I would never do that again." Elena assured her, sitting beside them. "I'm sorry, I really just had to get some things, what were you up to in my absence? You must have gotten so bored." She was trying to lighten her mood as I could tell. "No, Renee here kept me company the whole time." Amy pointed to the maid besi
Amy and I set to leave in one of Greg's car, escorted by a security guard and he left us after he had ensured we safely got in."Call me if you even encounter the slightest contact. If anyone tried anything, contact me, if you lost access to..." He said, following us all the way to the car."Greg, we will be fine. You need to relax." I rolled my eyes with a smirk. " Why are you being so over protective?" I couldn't help but chuckle."Okay, I'm just saying that you should do everything in your power to be as careful as you can possibly be." He sighed.."We already have a driver with us, I'm sure we will do just fine." I assured him and he nodded and turned to look at Amy, "Amy dear, if you notice anything going
I didn't react at first, not sure I had read the right thing. It didn't make any sense to me. First off, I had left her in the driver's care and wasn't even gone for so long and so how such a thing could happen in such a short time remained a mystery to me.I let out a scream of pain, unsure of how I was supposed to feel about this."My sister, who did you do to her?" I returned to the driver with accusing fingers, it only made sense that he was involved in something because unless someone had been following us, it wasn't practical.""Absolutely nothing ma'am, let's check around for her, she could be playing pranks, children like to mess around." He swallowed. I could hear the panic in his voice. "We have to find her, my job is at stake if anything happens to either of you."
I was shocked to see all that Greg had come with. Even though it was my sister we were talking about, I thought he had drawn things a little too far. I knew this was because of the type of influence he held in society that caused him to behave this way. With a sigh, I made my way towards him still in shock by this much drama he was putting up. "Greg, what are you doing?" I inqurired, "none of this will find Amy plus I told you I got some info already." "James," Greg called to one of the men from the team, "guide her to safety." "Yes sir." A tall man responded and held my wrist gently. "What are you doing? Let me go!" I argued, trying to set myself free from his hold.
"Oh my goodness, I was so distracted by the tantrum you were causing I didn't even realise it was you." She said, laughing sarcastically. I knew that whatever chemistry these two had, there was something terribly off here."You two know each other?" I pointed out in confusion. This felt like the situation between Jack and I once again."Know each other? We were in a relationship for five fucking years darling." She chuckled, "I can't believe you ruined my life and now tried to ruin my sister's business as well!" She sounded like she was about to cry again."Um this is awkward." I had to voice out. I could not read the emotions off of Greg's blank face. He just stared at her like she had lost her mind."Is she your n
"Well?" I stamped my foot against the ground impatiently when he didn't say a word and instead just stared blankly at me like I had something written on my forehead.Slowly, I noticed his sad face pull into a smirk as he stood to his feet and hovered above me. "I'm horny."He leaned to kiss me and I dodged it. "Greg stop, don't change the topic, what is it that you really want to tell me?" I pushed further."That's it really." He chuckled and that caused me to sigh in relief. I didn't want to know too much about his past as I didnt want to get involved more than I already was.He attempted the kiss again and this time I let him do so.I felt every part of my body tingle in reaction. What this man did to my body was divine and beyond words could explain.After a while, I grudgingly pulled away, "no bed." The thought of having sex against the desk was cool but the last time it had done things to my back that I surely did not want to experience
Greg pov"Sir?" I heard my secretary call and from the way she was staring at me, it was obvious that it wasn't the first time she had called ny name. I had been so lost in thoughts and the only thing that had filled my head was Elena.I could not figure out what was going on with me."What seems to be the problem?" I cleared my throat and adjusted myself to sit upright in my office chair."The board you were scheduled to have a meeting with is here now and they are waiting for you sir." She continued to say, there was evident worry in her eyes for me and I wanted her to stop right there."Alright, thank you for the information." I nodded at her and stood to my feet while she led the way, carrying with her the necessary files that I needed.We continued until we got to the meeting room. She excused us and I was soon faced with a bunch of men in fancy suit,
I didn't know how to process what I was seeing and for a moment I thought that something was wrong with my sight."I can't wait any further." Jack continued to say, "I did what you wanted and now it's your turn to do your part." He sounded really impatient and in a haste. It was as though neither of them really wanted to be here.I would never understand why Elena intentionally involved herself in these dangerous situations. This man for starters did not seem safe to be with it and then I kept pondering on what deal they could have had.And there was only one thing that came to mind. She had duped me. She was working with Jack and had surely made the other story up to get that money from me.I slowly pulled away, putting my hands in a tight fist, wanting to ram it into someone's face.I suddenly didn't care if she was safe or not, I made my way back to my car.I took the r
"What?!" I stood to my feet sharply, not sure that I had heard her right. Amy's eyes followed my steps and she waited impatiently for me to drop the call. "Where is the scene? Has someone called the hospital? For the love of God, is he dead?" I started to cry. If Greg was gone, all of my life dreams and ambitions were dead. I loved him too much for him to leave now. "The ambulance will be here any minute from now." She said, "there's blood everywhere and he is badly injured, I honestly cannot tell you if he is alive because I don't know how to check for a pulse but he is surely unconscious." "Just send me the location of the hospital." I snapped at her and didn't bother to get dressed. "What happened? Is Greg okay?" Amy turned to ask me and I shook my head not having any answers for her. It was past home at night but I had no one that I could
Greg watched me with wary eyes. "Do you want us to open it here or in the car?"I thought about his question. Depending on the results of the test, I was either going to cry or laugh. If it was the former, I really wanted to be alone to avoid people talking about me as I opened it but I also wanted to be able to talk to the doctor."Let's open it in the car." I suggested. Since we were parked in the hospital parking lot, we could easily come back here if we really had to.Greg waited for me to open it once we were in the car.I stared blank at the results, rereading the written words in it over and over again."Well?" He asked with a lot of impatience."Greg, I'm pregnant." I swallowed.He widened his eyes and waited for me to say some more. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't even find the tears. They weren't forthcoming."So what are we goin
I stood to my feet sharply, instant worry taking over."What's wrong?" Beth stood up after me.I shook my head at her and dashed out of the study hall to call Greg. We literally had unprotected sex.I only took my pills on mornings I knew were sure that I would be having sex but since staying away from Greg, I didn't like to use them every morning unless I was sure we would be having an intercourse later that day."My love, what's up?" Greg asked me, answering the phone almost immediately."Greg, I didn't use my pills the last time we had sex." I said, worry in my tone. I had thought I wasn't ready for marriage and for sure knew I wasn't ready for a baby at all."What do you mean?" Greg asked in confusion and then he got my message almost immediately. "Oh.""Greg, what do I do?" I started to panic."Relax it doesn't certainly mean that you are pregnant." He swallowed."Greg I haven't been taking my pill
Elena nodded so fast, I thought her head would fall off and there was an immediate round of screams cheering on for us as I slipped the ring into her finger and stood to my feet to lift her into my hands.We connected our lips and all my anxiety vanished."I love you." She said with the kiss and I nodded.We continued to dance after and people didn't leave until it was almost four in the morning.Aimee and Beth were staying over at my place with Elena.The girls kept adoring and expressing their evident jealousy over the ring with series of congratulations and I'm so happy for you.I kept trying to meet Elena's gaze in the rear view mirror but she was so drowned by talking to her friends to even pay any attention to me.When we got to the house, the girls were so tired and just wanted to go to bed.Elena on the other hand stopped my
"Excuse me, what?" Greg asked sharply and I stood to my feet to go to his side. I wasn't sure I had heard Jack clearly to be honest.I held my hand to my mouth, my heart racing in its cage."We didn't want to tell you just yet because we didn't want you to be so bothered, but it was her wish. She said not to tell you until it was time." Jack further clarified and I felt like he was afraid that Greg might do something to hurt him with the way he was looking at him and the same thoughts were running through my mind.I held Greg's clenched fist and hoped that I would be able to calm him down."Are you mad?""Greg!" I didn't want him making a fuss in front of Amy.He fell to his knees and I thought he was going to pass out but instead he broke down, completely, not caring where he was. I had not seen a grown man wail in tears in such a long time.I went on my knees as well and wrapped my arms around him."It's okay, Gre
Greg and I went to pick Amy up after I'd cleaned up and had a shower.On the ride back home, Amy seemed like the most confused little girl and could you even blame her?"I think it would be a really sensible thing to at least buy a small sofa on our way, this little girl looks tired and I can tell you, the rest she needs is not limited to blankets, she wants something soft for her afternoon nap." He suggested."I totally agree with Greg." Amy voiced out and I resisted to urge to roll my eyes at Greg playfully. He knew that if he mentioned it in front of Amy, I would have to accept and so that's what I did, accept."Fine, you are speaking like you have a shop in mind already, why don't you just drive us there?" I shrugged my shoulders at him."With pleasure." The corner of his lips moved up in a smirk.That was how we ended up coming back home with a truck trailing behind u
I was only just noticing his outfit for the first time now. He was wearing a red T shirt and white sweatoahts. I noticed that most of his clothes revolved around the same style.He took my hand as we walked to his car. I wondered where the girls had gone, I wanted to thank them for not complaining that I was probably making them inconvenient and they had just been willing to let me have this time with Greg.The ride home was as I directed, my head was filled with thoughts on what I could do and everything that Greg had said to me. I sort of disliked how fast I was to forgive him but I thought he was being genuine."Should we stop by Amy's school to pick her up?" Greg asked he when we close to the corner of my street.I checked my phone for the time. "She still has an hour before school is over." I shook my head and so he proceeded to drive us to my apartment.We walked in and Greg took in the look of the empty room except for the presence of
The next day, the moving truck was in front of the house. I didn't touch the furniture, I was going to get that on my own and so for now we would sleep on the blankets that we had access to.Amy had a lot of questions and I promised her we would answer them later. She didn't push it and I was grateful for that. it was almost as if she could tell how stressed I was.Greg was nowhere to be seen and even though I wouldn't have accepted, a part of me really wanted him to come and stop us from leaving.This was such a sad ending for me.Moving from the house took us thirty minutes at most and it was another stressful thing to move our things into the apartment.I thanked Josh, the agent, for his assistance and finally settled in.I texted my roommates to let them know I would be coming to school from home daily now but they didn't question it. I was still going to
Greg looked up at me, if he was surprised to see me, he wasn't phased. The woman looked surprised though."Greg, what's going on?" I wasn't sure that the voice was coming from me.He looked at the strange woman and nodded at her. With a disapproving groan, she stood reluctantly and he came to me."You didn't tell me you would be around today." He started."Why? So you could hide the fact that you were making out with some chick?" My voice was barely coming up the surface but I tried to put my words out there."Why are you taking it that way?" He said like he was dumb."Why am I taking what in what way?" I couldn't make sense out of anything that he was saying."I wanted pleasure, I rented someone for the time you'd be absent, she doesn't even stay here." It was his lack of emotions that was getting to me."Greg..." I
