Her eyes slowly opened, and she looked ahead, wondering why they had arrived so fast.
“Gucci!”
She read the inscription in green on the high glass building and her brows creased, she turned to Liam, a little confused.
''You want to get shoes for him too?” She asked, wonderingly but Liam shook his head.
''You complained that your shoes hurt, so I thought we might get some before we go back home.” He said gently.
Kate was surprised and her expression froze for a second when she heard him. How could he remember that?
She had said it in passing; she never thought he would keep it in mind. Her heart warmed at his words, and she smiled.
''You didn't' have to, we're going back home soon…” Before she could complete her sentence, Liam had stepped out of the car and walked to the other side, holding the car door open for her.
Kate’s heart couldn't help but flutter, no man had ever treated
''Happy birthday grandpa!”The family exclaimed as Evie held grandpa's hand as they walked into the parlor. There was a visible smile on his face as he laughed heartily.This was his best birthday celebration because all the members of his family were home. His eyes scanned through the faces, and his joy knew no bounds.''Wow, when did this place get decorated, I'm sure I didn't see this last night?” Albert asked; when he realized the changes in the interior design of the house.''It was a surprise.” Evie said, a smile on her face. It was his eightieth birthday; each year they get to see him smile brightly was a blessing to them. Grandma was seventy-three, but she didn't even look that, given the kind of treatment her body underwent. She looked more like a fifty-year-old woman.''Happy birthday honey,” Dorothy walked to him with a beautiful, kissing him on the cheeks, and hugging him closely.“Eeeish!” Evi
Kate cleared her throat as she felt her face blushing red at his words.''Thank you, and you look remarkable too.” She commented. He was wearing a blue shirt with a red dragon design on the chest front, and matching black pants which highlighted his breath taking features.He looked literally good in everything he wore.Kate thought as she admired his outfit with a small pout. After a moment, her eyes raised up only to catch Liam gazing at her with craving in his eyes.Kate gulped, instantly she turned around and started walking towards the makeup table.“I’ll do my makeup first; you can go downstairs.” She said, sitting on the chair and gazing at her flushed cheeks on the mirror.''I can wait for you, let's go down together.” Liam said.''No, I'll take a lot of time, and you'll need to meet the guests, you should head downstairs.” Kate cut in quickly and Liam felt depressed.''Okay,”
She wondered as she remembered all the family dinners and sit-together, although she knew their smiles were pretentious, she never thought something like that could be going on.God! You won't even have expected a thing!Lilian barely spoke to Bernard, and she had never seen Bernard alone with her. Wow, such top-tier cover up!He was always sweet to Mary and he barely spoke, how would she have known that she would hear him utter so much in micro seconds?!And Lilian, could she get any lower?To think they were even doing that in the ancestral home, all morality they have flown out of the windows!Kate stood against the wall as she thought, suddenly a thought entered her mind, and she turned to the door again. Dropping the wine bottle quietly, she turned on her camera, making sure to remove the flash and put it on silent; raising her hand to the door, she opened it quietly.Kate stuck out her head and took a look, seeing that they were
This was the perfect moment for him to be alone with her without Liam interrupting, his heart raced as he waited for her answer.Kate shook her head politely; ''Thanks but I don't want to 'hide', thanks for the offer though. '' With that she turned around and walked out, leaving Bruno recessed in the passage.She knew he was just suspecting that she and Liam were faking their marriage, and she was very careful not to say anything convicting. If she agreed to his request, it would mean that she was saying that there really wasn't a relationship between them, and not now that Liam was getting better. What would he do if he found out that she went out with him alone?Although he was kind to her now, she didn't know how his temper would be if he found out, and after warning her about him? Heaving a sigh, Kate took silent steps out of the restroom. Stealthily, she walked to the backyard, where there was a small garden and sat on a bench, watching the irrigators, wate
Liam’s face was looking distressed, he had seen Kate when she was speaking with his grandma, but after he finished greeting the guests, he could not find her again. He asked his grandma and she told him she had gone to the restroom, quickly, he hurried there but he didn't find her there.He went back to their room but she was not in, his face was sullen as he walked down the stairs; he wondered where she must have gone to.Evie’s steps paused when she saw Liam looking like a lost tourist searching his way back to the resident, and she knew he must be searching for Kate.She waited until he reached her, Liam did not notice her, he was about walking past when he heard her speak;“Kate is in the garden.” She spoke.His steps stopped and he turned to see who spoke, but Evie was already walking up the stairs.liam quickly turned around and hastened out of the house, he saw a waiter carrying two glasses of
Kate’s lips fell in surprise, she couldn't believe her ears, her gaze turned to the workers in front of her and she realized that they were watching her with the same shock written on their faces.She swallowed, grabbing Liam’s hand, she pulled him past the workers and into the mansion, her head looking downwards, in embarrassment. Liam grinned as he let her pull him, watching her walk forward with hefty strides as though her tiny fingers could actually pull him forward.He didn't realize she was taking him to her room until she opened the door and stepped in.''Wow, this place is awesome, now I really want to stay here for life.” Liam commented as he grinned as he looked around the room.Kate stared coldly at him, her eyes wide.''Liam Smith, I'm serious about this.” She narrowed her eyes at him, her hands akimbo.Liam turned to look at her;''What is it, wifey? You don't want to stay in the same room as me?&r
''Oh, it's Liam, I'll explain everything when I come over tomorrow okay, take care.” Kate whispered quickly and ended the call.Irene heard the phone beep signaling that the call had ended and her mouth opened in shock.She brought the phone down and when she confirmed that Kate had really ended the call on her she chucked derisively.She was here making herself believe there was nothing going on between them, who could have thought they were already sleeping together?!Irene had never felt that amount of anger and envy in her whole life, at that moment; she wished she could squash the living life out of Kate.From the moment he offered her a job paying 30,000 dollars, she suspected that things would not be the same between them, she just wanted to avoid the truth, she didn't want to believe that her sister was finally greater than her, she didn't want to accept that she was married the CEO of Smith Corporation!!It was not supposed to
His scent… f*ck…. am doomed!Kate swallowed after she replied, making sure not to look at him, his cologne an already enough distraction.''Hmm, where did you want to get it done?” Liam asked, and Kate chuckled lightly,“Eem…. on my chest and ankle. I want to get butterfly on my boobs and a rose on my ankle. ''Liam, who was sitting relaxed on the couch, sat up instantly.“Pardon… what? You will let another man touch your boobs? Why your boobs of all places, there are a thousand other places to get a tattoo, you can even get them on your hands, why on your boobs? And tattooing hurts like hell, don't even do it at all!” Liam said in one breath.Kate blinked as she watched him reprimand her as though she was a child. His face was all scrunched up in worry, and his hand was holding her palm as though pleading with her.How was he this distressed over another man seeing her boob
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
