77. Walking on eggshells. ~PamelaWe were cuddled together on the couch in darkness and solitude as the night went on. We were both too restless and I could not help but feel like something was going to happen. Something bad.My mind drifted aimlessly in the dark as the alcohol in my system relaxed my body. I was curious about where he went and what he did through the night. I wanted to know how he had cooled off and what changed his mind. "Where did you go?" I quietly inquired. He drank from his cup and said nothing. I waited for him to speak, there was no need to probe him further. He sighed and stroked. "I saw my uncle for the first time in my life," He said in a quiet tone. I gazed at him but I doubted he noticed. Honestly, I was not expecting this revelation. I understood that he had a lot of family drama going on but this one caught me by surprise. "He did not know about you?" I asked. "He and my father stopped talking to each other a long time ago, and never stayed in
78. A Gathering of Dead Men. ~DelmundoWe both fell asleep on the couch till the morning came. I woke up first and saw that Pamela was still in slumber. Her arms were wrapped around my body as she breathed softly with her head resting fit full on my chest. I stroked her hair gently as I realized that I was more afraid of losing her than I was afraid of dying. It was the very first time I had felt such an emotional connection to anyone in a long time. I could do anything for her and that includes giving up my life. It scared me so much to know that she had this control over me but I was too vain to admit it to her or anyone. I was always scared around her, afraid to lose myself lest I hurt her. I knew that if she left me, all that was hell would break loose. I loved it here, this moment, this second, this minutes. I loved how peaceful she slept and how safe she felt in my arms. I was never one to open up to people about myself but anytime I was with her, I felt like I could tell
A Gathering of Dead Men II~Delmundo "Mr. Frank, I was not expecting you to join us," Silver said and I could almost detect an angry tinge in his voice. Maybe there was some form of animosities brewing between them. "Expect the unexpected, sleaze bag," Frank replied in a low gruff voice. Silver smirked at him. Yep. There was no love lost between them. I tried to figure out what really happened between the two of them but there was no time. I was going to have a one on one chat with Frank. I noticed that he did not bring his car. "Wait, did you walk here?" Silver mockingly asked. "Where are we going, Boss," Frank ignored the question as he inquired from me. "We, are going to Master Stephan's company to see the board of directors,". Silver proudly answered. "And you are not invited." I almost laughed out loud. What was this? High school? "He is coming with us, you are going to lead us with your car to the company," I told Silver who stuttered in a hurt speechless way. "Very we
80. A Gathering of Deadmen III. ~Delmundo I and Frank were assailed by curious glares and I could feel Viktor's frustration as he led us to my father's office. I did not doubt that there was something that he did not want me to see or that they were not yet done with going through his office. "Has the office been in any way tampered with?" I asked coldly. "Not at Baron, a search had been conducted but it had not been executed out of respect for you," Victor said. I called bullshit to what he said as I, Frank, and Silver followed him. The only reason that they had not gone through my father's possession was because I was not obedient like the new kid on the block, Dwayne Cage. "We're here," Grumbled, an impatient Viktor. I could even see the urgency in his demeanor. I was happy he was uncomfortable because he had tried to dog-walk me in my father's company. He had made a big mistake when he stupidly assumed me to be weak. He did not know me and I did not blame him. He was abou
81. A Little Bit Of Freedom. ~Pamela I woke up late in the morning with a slight headache and a rumbling stomach. It was time to admit they I was not a big fan of alcohol. I slowly got up from the bed as I fought against the queasiness that was forming in my insides. I sat still for a while before I stood up. My body craved cold water and Stehphan. I had no idea how I got upstairs but I remembered the dream I had vividly and it involved the man who had captured my body. I slowly stripped before I walked nude into the bathroom. I grabbed my toothbrush and paste and squirted a large amount of toothpaste on my brush. I wanted to get the taste of alcohol from my taste buds. I brushed my teeth, tongue, and gum thoroughly. I rinsed my mouth and the brush before I got into the shower. I eagerly switched on the cold waters and stood still as the natural liquid hit my scalp. The relief was instant and I sighed in contentment. I wanted to spend all day here but I was hungry also. I took
It is just Business~Pamela "What should I expect when we get there?" I asked Stephan who was driving us to his father's company. "They will size you up to see if you are tough or easy," He answered me as he stopped by a red light. "So, if I am tough, everything is fine?" I hopefully asked. Honestly, I had no desire to make enemies if this new job with Stephan was legit. "Not really, you will still be targeted by those who deem you useful, until you are not," He replied. "So if I am weak, I will be picked on and if not I will be used, well I do not see much advantage in what you are telling me Stephan, why bother to go?" I asked already feeling anxiety. "You have to try and navigate through, so you can recognize who is genuine and who is not but remember, do not trust anyone because everyone wants something," He told me. "You sound like you have experienced the office drama," I told him. "I have, and I can say that I find it difficult to sit and listen to bullshit all day, esp
The Delmundo House Incorporated ~Pamela "Let me guess, your Ex works here," I said to him. "Not really, but I am sure she could pop up since her parents work here," He told me. I sighed in frustration. "Can I at least have a picture of her so I can identify her in case she comes for me?" I asked him. He raised his eyebrow in amusement. "You are being dramatic, Pamela, where is the fun in trying to get to know her unprepared?" He asked with a playful wink. I smirked at him. "Stephan, if one of your fantasies is to see me get in a catfight with your Ex, dream on is all I can say to you," I teased him. He chuckled slightly as he sat on the edge of the big wooden table. I was seated on the sectional sofa by the side of the huge office that was close to a shelf full of books. "I am sure that you can take care of yourself when it comes down to that," He said assuredly. I beamed at his weird belief in me. "Would you like a tour of the place?" He asked me as she stood up from the
~ Pamela 84. The Scorned Woman. There was nothing more hurtful than ignoring the feelings of a woman or better yet, dismissing it. Stephan had managed to do both in my presence to his former girlfriend. The silence that followed was long and awkward but Stephan whom I suspected was not bothered by all this spoke out. "Lead the way, Viktor, we have not got all day," Viktor nodded and made for the door. Stephan waited for me to get up and I followed him out of the office. I passed by Lydia and refused to look her in her eyes. I had nothing to say to her but she looked like she had a lot to say to me and I knew that none of them were nice words. I heard her follow us quietly while Viktor rambled on about the foundation of the company and how many billions of tax payers money were illegally used to build it. We entered the elevator and we the ladies entered first before the men followed suit. Lydia who had recovered from her shock and resumed her proud demeanor. "I never thought
