It was early march; it was autumn in Australia, she wasn't sure how the weather would be Washington DC so she ran back to the bed and picked up her phone, browsing about the weather.
Oh, its winter… they always rain during that season in DC
She mumbled in her head before walking back to the wardrobe. She didn't like winter season, more so rainy days her mom had died on a rainy day. That night was very dreadful and although she was almost forgetting it, she always remembered it when there was a storm; she pulled herself away from the thoughts as she concentrated her eyes on the closet.
When she was released from the dark room and given that room, the wardrobe was already stuffed with wears, everything a woman her age may need. Some of them were her size, while the others were not exactly.
She just made do with some clothes for the meantime. Her clothes back home were a little shabby, and given that she had begun work, she could not wear them. Althou
When she got downstairs, a few guards were already waiting beside the car outside the house.''The Boss says you should take me home to pick my passportKate said when she approached, and the lead guard stared her up to down as though in unbelief. She remembered him; he was the guard that had thrown her over his shoulders the day she was with Justin. He was also the guard that dragged her to the dark room and locked her up. She hated him to her very bones. Well, she was not surprised; he was the same as his master.The guard watched her for a moment, as though he was not convinced by what she said. He took out his phone and called Liam to confirm. Kate folded her hands as she watched him; wondering whether he was stupid, or he just lacked reasoning. How would she just walk up to them and ask them to drive her home without Liam’s command?She watched him speak a few words on the phone and then turned to her;''Get in.” He said and walked
Since Kate left to go fetch her passport, Liam have been peeping out the window from his room from time to time.They weren't back yet? Didn't she say she was getting her passport; did she go to bring her whole house?He shifted his gaze to the phone in his hands, contemplating whether to call them, but just when he was about to call, he saw their car driving towards the house and he closed the curtains.Kate stepped out of the car and walked into the house; her eyes glanced briefly at the stairs but she figured she should just sleep; it was already late; she shouldn't disturb him.She quickly retired to bed as soon as she got to her room.Liam walked to his cabinet and took out a bottle of sleeping pills; ever since he watches his parents being killed, he hasn't slept without them. And even after taking them and falling asleep, it was never peaceful. He didn't even remember what a peaceful sleep felt like. Sometimes he would need to be hypnotize t
The first class was exquisitely decorated; it was luxurious and elegant; there was a door connected to the room and just then a flight attendant walked out of the door with a bunch of towels; there was a smile on her face as she walked past them.Kate caught the view of the room before it was shut close; it was an exclusive bedroom.Wow! All these luxuries for just a flight! It must have cost a fortune to book this place. She thought and then she heard an announcement. That the plane was about to take off.Kate’s brows creased;Did Liam reserve the whole first-class cabin?Oh right, he was rich. The rich spent their money as they liked. She was poor, that was why she thought it to be a big deal.She reasoned as she put on her seatbelt; she had never flown before, she thought that it would be a smooth ride in the air when suddenly she felt the plane quake; her eyes widened immediately,Were they going to crash? What is happening?
Kate blinked her eyes, wondering if she was dreaming; but the more she blinked the clearer Liam’s face became. His eyes were unwavering as he watched her intently. That instant, Kate’s heart skipped a beat.He was staring at her! She instantly pulled her gaze from him; a deep redness flushed her cheeks.How long did she sleep? She wondered, sitting upright immediately. She picked up her phone and pretended to be busy. The air in the room was so tense; Kate was finding it difficult to breathe. After a while, she lifted her eyes to Liam again, and she regretted doing that instantly;He was still staring at her!“If you want to sleep, you can go into the bedroom.” Liam said with a calm voice. Kate glanced at him.''I'm awake now.” She said and dropped her eyes to her phone. Liam did not reply her and the room returned to its original quietness.After 13 more hours, they arrived at the airport. After taking their lu
Oh well, that was good. At least I wouldn't have to bother about him punishing me anymore.Kate thought, and she resumed eating her food.By the time Liam came back, she was lying on the couch and watching Tv.It was past nine in the night and the day had been very stressful, yet she had the strength to watch television?Liam thought as he walked past her to the fridge; he took out a bottle of water from it; opening the bottle of pills, he poured some on his hand and swallowed, then drank some water.Kate’s gaze shifted from the TV to him; he had his back facing her and his head was low as he stared at something in his hand. He had a strange feeling around him, a feeling of loneliness. The more she stared at him, the more distinct the feeling became; and she realized he looked so lonely.Liam stared at the bottle for a moment before closing the fridge and walking towards his room. He was tempted to look at her, but he forced his eyes n
She stared at the post for so long that she lost count of time when she regained herself; the spot her face rested on was already soaked with her tears.He had moved on already, so fast?Kate mumbled to herself. She had not yet gotten over him and he had moved on as though she didn't even matter? Did he ever love her at all?Kate wondered as she stared at her phone; her tears still rolling down her pink cheeks.The sight was so painful that she quickly tossed her phone aside and buried her face on the bed, crying out her lungs. Just that moment, there was a knock on her door.Kate froze and instantly turned to the door;“The food you ordered is here.” She heard Liam say, and her heart reeked of rage and disgust for him. She hated him! God, she hated him sooo much. If it wasn't for him, she would have been the one in Justin’s arms now!She couldn't even bring herself to reply; she just turned around and continued cryi
“Liam Smith, you're here already, sorry to have taken too long, I was a bit occupied.” The man, who had walked out of the huge doors, spoke with a vibrant smile on his face. He stretched out his hand for a handshake, and Liam shook him briefly. The house was very magnificent; just like Liam’s home back in Australia, except that it wasn't as quiet. Kate had counted no less than ten women walk past the living room, wearing skimpy dresses and looking like escorts. They had not stayed up-to five minutes before the man came out. He was fat and short; Kate felt his physique was rather depressing to look at. Three of the women she had seen walk past accompanied him to the living room and they sat down opposite her and Liam. When the man saw her, his eyes remained on her body, checking her out. Kate caught his gaze on her body and she felt like throwing up but she couldn't show her disgust, he was a client; and although Liam had not told her what they h
Kate couldn't believe her eyes. First, she was shocked that Liam had terminated the deal with that man instead of giving her to him but most importantly is the fact that he declared that she was his wife and he was holding her hand!He was walking so fast that she had to run a little to meet with his pace. He didn't let her go until he was outside the house.Kate was stunned beyond comprehension. Liam was so frosty that she felt that he would explode any minute. Was he angry because he had to lose the deal because of her? She wondered.When the driver saw them, he stepped out immediately and opened the door for them; Kate stepped in quickly and Liam followed, slamming the door after him.The car was eerily quiet; the driver didn't know what happened but he knew better than to say a word.Liam’s knuckles were so white; it looked like it would pop any minute. He wanted Kate. He fucking told him that to his face!!Liam couldn't contain hi
Jayden smiled as he walked to his room and looked at his reflection in the mirror. His fingers ruffled his hair, and he wondered if he should get a new hairstyle. Striding sluggishly to his bed, he fell on it. Madison… He thought, a smirk on his lips. He could not get her out of his head after that heated night of passion. He had not done something so wild before; sleeping with someone he didn't know for the first time. It was crazy. After that day, he had intended to forget about her, but after seeing her application letter to work in his company, he couldn't get her off his mind. He wanted to have a taste of it again, but this time, with her name on his lips, that was if she was up for it. But judging from how she had acted, he wasn't sure she wanted to do it again. He was brought back from his thoughts when his phone rang. He swiped when he saw the caller; Ivy… '' ''hey, babe, you up for some party tonight?'' she asked. He could hear her tossing things about in the background
''Pft, what a very sad life you live. '' Elle said, giggling lightly. Jayden ruffled her hair;''It's not, it's even more peaceful than most. ''''Nah, I highly doubt. But I still wish you'll fall in love someday, even if not with Ivy, with someone who would love you just the same.''Jayden laughed; ''Don't tell me you're already in another relationship, Elle. You just broke up two weeks ago! '' Jayden just guessed, but when he saw the smile on her chin, he knew he had suspected right;''You don't say!'' He laughed;''This one likes me a lot, Jayden, '' Jayden nodded; ''And so did the last one, ''Elle rolled her eyes. ''Well, that one was a cheat. ''Jayden was quiet for a moment, then he patted her hair; ''Just be careful, okay, you can take your time before getting into another relationship, you're still very young.''Elle stood up; ''it's getting late, are you going home or you're sleeping over?''Jayden smiled, seeing that she had smartly changed the topic. He just wanted her to
Jayden smiled when he saw the faint blush appear on her chin. It was hard to resist him; he had not met a woman who did.''So what do you say? Dinner by 6 on Saturday?'' He asked, shifting the strands of her hair to the back of her ear. She couldn’t breathe. The only thing she wanted at that moment was to escape from there, so she quickly nodded.Jayden smiled and stood upright; ''Okay, I'll pick you at your house.'' he said, walked to his car, and drove off, leaving her standing and looking incredibly shocked by what just happened.It took Mady a few minutes to realize that she had just agreed to a date with him. She grabbed her hair with one hand as she frowned intensely. What did she just do?***Jayden stared at her through his rearview mirror, a grin on his chin. He mentally thanked his car for getting hit that morning. After that day at his office, he had thought of a thousand ways to start a conversation with her without it being weird or out-of-place giving their encounter in
The rest of the week ran smoothly. Madison was surprised that Jayden did not speak or asked to see her after that first encounter. She was surprised, but at the same time, happy. Happy that it was as Zoey had said, there was nothing to it, it was just a one-night stand.She had bumped into ivy a few times, but she felt so guilty that she couldn't even look her in the eye. ivy was pretty with a hot body. She wondered what could make Jayden cheat on someone so perfect.But you can never understand people who think with their d*cks can you? I mean, she was perfect for her Ex, but he cheated more times than all the sex she had ever had in her entire life.Work was great. She changed her alarm wake-up time to 5:30, so she could be at the company very early. She did not want to get on the bad side of her seniors. But then, just when everything was going smoothly, something happened.Mady greeted her colleagues as she left the office. Walking to the parking lot, she beeped her car and walked
The two other employees glanced at Madison in shock. Did she just curse in front of the CEO? Was she asking to be sacked? Madison’s hands flew to her lips when she realized what she just did.''I'm sorry, sir. It was a slip of the tongue.'' She apologized, trying her best to avoid eye contact. Just what the hell did she get herself involved in?Jayden sat up in his chair; ignoring what just happened, he asked; ''Have you all been briefed?''"Yes, we have,'' they replied. ''Alright, you're welcome to Lincoln Corporation. I hope you enjoy working with us.'' He said and stood up, extending his hand for a handshake;The two employees shook him, and Madison stretched her shaky hands. Jayden smiled as he shook her. Nothing extra, but she felt shivers travel up her spine, and she quickly withdrew her hand.Jayden smiled and dismissed them. Ari was the first to turn around in a bid to escape quickly, but he was not done with her yet.“Madison Grey.'' He called and her legs came to a halt as
Madison slumped on her bed when she came back from the interview. She had taken a day's leave from work to go for the interview, and this was the last chance she had, else she would be stuck working for Clinics for a few more years. She didn't want that.Taking off her clothes, she cleaned up her house. She didn't have the time to clean up in the morning since she was in a hurry.As she cleaned her room, her thoughts drifted to the man from the previous night.Was she rude for sending him away like that? She thought.Then she shook her head. She would have made breakfast before he left, but she had an interview she couldn't miss. Besides, it was a one-night stand, they didn't know each other and Australia was too big of a place to meet a stranger twice.Changing her bedsheets. She put it into the washing machine and lay down for a movie.***Madison woke up the next morning and prepared for work, she quickly had breakfast and hurried out of the house, on the way, her phone buzzed and
Madison lost count of how many times they did it that night. Wild, passionate sex with no strings attached. It was nothing like she had ever felt. Morning came too quickly, as she was woken by her alarm. She had set an alarm for 6 because she had a job interview at Lincoln Corporation.She was an accountant. She had worked for a clinic for three years, but she wanted to move to a new environment and get better opportunities, plus she was having issues with her manager, and he was making work difficult for her.She had gone for a few interviews, but the companies were yet to call her back. Lincoln was her last straw. She jumped up from the bed naked and she hurried to the bathroom, but she stopped halfway when she noticed someone lying on the bed.Remembering her escapade, the previous night, she ran back to the bed and shook him roughly."Wake up! It's time to leave."Seeing him this morning, she noticed how great his body was. He looked like he worked out. He was sleeping with messy
21 years laterMadison touched up her already red lips as she smacked them."How do I look?" She asked, her best friend. Zoey was her childhood friend and they had been through all life's shit together."Hot, baby girl." She said, packing her hair up in a ponytail,"I'm going to get laid tonight." Madison said, and Zoey chuckled,"You get laid almost every night, not like this would be any different.""Well, it would cause I’ll be fucking a total stranger."Zoey’s eyes widened as she turned to her friend but before she could say a word, Madison walked out the restroom. Her friend had taken some alcohol earlier so she was a little high, so she wasn't sure if she was saying with her right senses."You are kidding right?" Zoey perverse as she followed Madison immediately,Madison smirked; "watch me." She said as her eyes scanned the crowd of screaming people in the club and her eyes stopped at a guy who was drinking alone at the bar.She smiled and walked to him before Zoey could stop he
Four years later."Jayden Smith, come back here!" Kate called as she watched her son leave his food and run to hug his father as he walked down the stairs, laughing mischievously.The little boy looked exactly like Liam, except he had his mother's eyes. Liam lifted his son up and kissed his fat cheeks as he carried him back to where his mom was sitting.Kissing her on the lips, he placed Jayden back in his chair. Kate glared at her son, and he laughed, showing off his developed milk teeth. She couldn't even get angry at him."How was your night, baby?" He asked as he tilted Kate’s head to look at him."Fine!" Jayden answered, before his mom could form words in her mouth. Kate and Liam burst out laughing."Jay, I was asking your mother." Liam said, patting his hair.Kate smiled. ''He likes you too much. '' she said;''It's obvious. '' Liam chuckled, patting Jayden hair again. Liam dotted on their son a little too much. It was as though he wanted to give him all the love he couldn't get
