Although she did not expect Liam to give her any assignment, she didn't think much of it; it was one file anyway, after that, she had the whole day to herself.
Liam took in her expression briefly before walking out the door;
After he left, Kate slumped back on the couch. Picking up her phone from the table, she clicked on the company email; and the next second, she was sitting up from the couch, her eyes wide open.
“15…. 15 files!” Kate gasped in shock. “How am I going to review all these files today?!” She wondered as her brows creased in infuriation.
Was he angry because of the deal he lost because of me or was it because of the first aid kit??
Kate wondered because there was no other reason why he would want to crush her bones with work. If that was it, then he was pathetic!
In fact, he deserved nothing good! If he liked, he should break his neck. She won't even bat an eyelid!
She cursed as her excite
After lunch, Kate printed the 15 files from the printer in the penthouse; then she sat on the couch in the living room and started reading through them. The writing was tiny, and it made her feel sleepy. She wanted to abandon them and go do something else, but she didn't want Liam coming back to find a reason to unleash his vile on her. But no matter how much she tried, she couldn't finish reviewing the third file before she fell asleep.By past seven o’clock in the evening, she heard a loud thunderclap outside, and she flung up from the couch; her eyes wide open. The lightening bolt came with a huge wind, which clapped the windows and curtains.She looked outside and saw that the sky had darkened, and she knew it would be a thunderstorm. And she hated the storm.Her face paled as she watched the sky darken through the windows, but she could not move; she wanted to go close to the windows, but she couldn't bring herself to approach them. Her heart was poun
Liam could hear his heart pounding against his ribcage; his whole body was alerted as he stared at the woman on his body. The first woman he had ever held in his arms. And she was driving him crazy.***Kate stirred in her sleep. The light rays coming from the window hurt her eyes. Turning her head to the other side, her eyes fluttered open. After a few seconds she looked around the room and her heart sunk, there was no-one there.Although she knew it wasn't real, it felt real; she had heard her mom's voice in her ears; she heard her speak to her; she had told her it was alright and she would never leave her again.She didn't want to accept that it was all a dream; that she had just faked it all up in her head. She was still thinking about last night when suddenly her eyes widened,Wait, a minute… she remembered falling asleep on the couch when the storm began.How did she get here? Her brows creased as her thoughts wandered.D
She sat down, she began eating her food. The whole place was spookily quiet; she could feel Liam’s gaze on her as her meal agonizingly went down her throat; she didn't want to look at him, but she couldn't control her wandering eyes, and before she could stop herself, her eyes turned to him and they locked in his gaze, instantly she choked on her meal and coughed, she immediately gulped down a glass of water to stable herself.F*ck! Can he not look elsewhere?!!Kate screamed in her head. Ever since she sat down he had been staring as though there was something odd on her body.Fine, she had misbehaved the previous day, but staring at her like that would kill her before her time!We're going back to the Australia tomorrow; do you want to see beautiful places in the city today?”“….”Kate’s eyes widened so much that it nearly fell from its sockets when she heard him speak suddenly. She turned to her b
Kate’s eyes widened in shock before she could even pretend to be okay; luckily for her, grandma's eyes were fixated on Liam and she didn't notice her discomfort. Kate’s head was on fire.What! Ten days!!!Staying in the Ancestral home for all those day meant that they would have to pretend to be real couples for ten days and they would have to… sleep together in the same room!Her jaws fell as her face grew deathly pale.Hehehe… surely Liam wouldn't agree to that; he didn't like people staying in the same space with him, so there was no way he would…“Alright grandma, now I think about it, I haven't attended grandpa's birthday in eight years, I think we'll come this time.” Liam replied indifferently;Normally, he didn't return for the birthdays, he never did, but when Grandma mentioned it, he realized that that might be the opportunity he had been looking for to make things right with Kate. If the
''Anything else you want to say to me SIR?” She asked when she saw that he wasn't saying anything. Liam shook his head, putting his two hands into his trouser pockets.''No, you may go in.” He said, and she turned around and walked into the mansion, not wasting another second next to him.Liam watched her steps' distance and just at that moment, he remembered something and quickly called her.“Kate,”She turned to look at him, her brows creased;“Come to my room tonight.” He said ambiguously.Kate’s eyes widened and her face paled instantly at his statement.What does he mean by that? Does he want to sleep with her now? So he’s really bisexual??Kate wondered as her heart pounded against her chest; she didn't know what to do. How would she escape this?Seeing her scared expression, it took Liam a few seconds to realize that his words had come out wrong. He lower
In the evening after finishing their respective jobs, Liam and Kate left to the ancestral home.Kate watched the iron gates open on their own accord; this was her second time of being here, but it still felt new, maybe because this time, it was day. Earlier, she got a bouquet for grandma and medicinal tea bags for grandpa, Liam watched her hold the gifts on her laps but he didn't say a word.He never bought anything for his grandparents; he had not even thought about it, but she just did without even caring about the hatred she had for him.As the car drove into the compound, her heart slammed against her chest. These ten days would be hell for her, she knew it.Liam stepped out and held out his hand for her to come out; she placed her hand on his indifferently and stepped out of the car; her face up with a frown. The guards took out the gifts from the car and their luggage from the trunk as they waited for Liam’s command.As Kate stepped out
Kate smiled, but what was in her mind was the exact opposite. “Thank you, grandma.”Welcome home indeed! Who needs welcoming? She would even prefer to sleep in the dog's pen than to sleep with him in the same room.God! How would she survive this!She mentally rolled her eyes.''Okay hurry and freshen up, I'll send someone to call you when dinner is ready.” Dorothy said and Liam led Kate upstairs, his hands still around her waists.When they had gone up halfway, she noticed that Liam’s arm was still around her waist and she turned to know if anyone was around, when she saw that no-one was in sight, she quickly wanted to take off his hands but the words that came out of his lips, nearly caused her a heart attack.''From now onwards, I want you to always be close to me, do you understand?” Liam said seriously with no expression on his face.Kate’s eyes instantly turned to him; they were sticking out t
Kate heard the door open and slam close and she waited a moment before she turned around, when she didn't see him in the room, she realized he just left. She heaved a sigh of relief and sat up on the couch; her eyes scanning the room.It was huge, a master bedroom. Tastefully decorated but it was not what she had expected of his room, he loved dark colors, the room was rather very bright.Just when she thought about it, she heard noises approach the room and the door was pushed open. Liam stepped in, followed by his grandma.''You know I don't like bright colors; this is way too much, call a painter quickly and get these paintings changed and bring back my old furniture.” Liam groaned as they walked into the room, a displeased frown on his face.''Oh Liam, I don't see anything wrong with this, okay, if you want any change, you can't decide on your own, your wife is here with you now, so both of you have to agree to the change.” Dorothy said an
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
