POV Drake"If we keep this up, we'll be late. " She moans. I do not listen to her and I continue to cover her neck with kisses, I assume that if she really wanted me to stop, she would not let me. For the second time since this morning, I unzip her dress, put my hand on her back, she arches her back and puts her head on my shoulder. "I'm the boss, so I can arrive whenever I want. ""Yes, but not me! " She says, pushing me away with much more force this time.She crosses the room and goes to grab her earrings from the dresser. I let out a sigh and sit down on the bed to put on my shoes. "What do you mean you don't? "She lets out a sigh and suspends her action, turns to me and sits on the dresser. "You may be the boss, but I'm not. I'm an employee like the rest of them. ""You're not an employee like the others. " "Why, because we sleep together? " "To hear you talk, it sounds like an insult. ""No it doesn't. " She lets out a sigh and approaches me. "I love what we both do, but
POV Lisa.I've been finding Drake's attitude strange for the past few days. He's been much more attentive to me before and I really think our dominant-submissive relationship is taking a new turn. Yesterday, for example, he took me out to eat at a fancy restaurant, he had a whole space reserved for us to be alone together. And when he spilled tartar sauce on my throat during the meal, only to come and lick it off in the next few seconds, I realized that it was anything but innocent. I loved this evening, this little interlude that brought us even closer. I know I shouldn't, but his way of being, the gifts and all that, only increase the love I have for him making me hope that one day, he can tell me those words I've been dreaming of hearing for a few weeks now. This closeness also increases my feeling of anxiety, what will happen if he never feels the same as me? That I was totally wrong and that all he was trying to do was to please me? To make me feel better after my fight with Madd
POV Brian Moncrief. I can't look away from her, it's impossible and I think I'm not the only one. All the men and women around us keep looking at her. The truth is that I don't blame them, in fact how could I? Lisa is beautiful. If there was a word to describe her I think it would be perfect, she is absolutely perfect. The only thing that doesn't fit is her arm around this man's arm, I hate seeing them together, I especially hate the look that throws me. I understand then that my suspicions were founded, there is indeed something between these two. Considering how possessive he is with her, there is absolutely no mistaking the relationship they both have. "Welcome to our modest home. " I say while greeting Mason.I see Lisa shudder at the mention of the word our, I understand it perfectly. This mansion was her family's, I was surprised when my father told me he had bought it, I was surprised not many of my father's actions. But I could never say anything for fear of losing everythi
POV Drake. Scarlet and Mason lead us to the table, we're sitting pretty and Tony Moncrief keeps introducing me to his business partners as the new investor he's going to work with. I'm having a lot of fun with this whole thing and I can't wait to tell him to his face that he won't be able to work with me because of the disgust I have for him. I am especially anxious to be able to prove to the whole world the malpractices of which he is the author and of which I am sure that Lisa's father is not his only victim. I look for Lisa with my eyes, where could she have gone? I saw her go out and go on the balcony and since then I don't know where she could have disappeared."It's me or the atmosphere of this evening is totally gloomy? "My sister asks.What I love about Scarlet is without a doubt her frankness, she says things as she feels even if it pleases or displeases."Yes my love, Drake doesn't like these people much. ""I must admit he is not the only one, did you see the look of this
POV Lisa.I watch the car drive away without reacting, once it is far enough away, I collapse on the gravel and put my hand over my mouth to stifle a sob. The tears flood my eyes and I can't hold them back, no matter how hard I try to wipe them away, they just come back as if I'm doing nothing. It's all over. My heart is shattered, I feel empty inside and I have no explanation to give to anyone. The funny thing is, I'm the one who ended the relationship, so much the better, right? That way I won't be heartbroken when he finally does. A hand rests on my shoulder, I turn around and meet Brian's worried face. "Are you okay Li?"Of course I'm okay! No but what a silly question. I close my eyes and am about to send him packing when I remember that it's Brian, it's always been him. It seems that when we try to make him understand something, he hears the opposite. And right now, I'm really not in the mood to explain anything. "Can you walk me home please? ""I can take you anywhere you wan
POV Lisa.No matter how many times I repeat all the phrases to motivate myself mentally, I can't do it. I know I have to get up, I have to get up and go to work but I can't! I feel really weak, after spending the whole weekend under the covers crying. Maddie came knocking I don't know how many times, but I didn't open the door. I didn't want to talk to her, I didn't want to talk to anyone or see anyone. The only time I went out was when I went to the bathroom, I haven't swallowed anything since, my stomach is in knots. All I want to do is stay here for the rest of my life. I spent the whole weekend thinking about why Tony Moncrief was putting me through all this, what could I have done to him? Why do I have to be so fixated on me? I never did anything to make him think that I wanted anything with him. If only Dad were here, I'm sure he would have found a solution. Dad was always good at dealing with any problem, he always knew how to handle any situation, unlike me who runs away from
POV DrakeThree years ago...I let out a sigh and look out the rear view mirror, it's time for me to go home. It's been three weeks since I last slept at home. I haven't tried to call Sierra and neither has she, which is fine by me. Our relationship is going from bad to worse, I even suspect her of having an affair. With whom? I don't know, but I'm not an idiot either. I see all the laughing on the phone, she's getting all dolled up and perfumed every time she goes out. The most egregious thing is that she even decided to leave our room and go sleep in the guest room. As if I disgusted her and breathing the same air as me was impossible for her. It fucking hurt! It hurts every time I see her talking on the phone with who knows who. It hurts every time she walks by me and pretends I'm not there. We live in the same house like two strangers and it's really starting to piss me off! Because I wanted to build my future with her, I wanted children, a dog and a whole lot of other things tha
POV Lisa. I close my computer with a sigh and lie down on my back, I can't work. I don't feel like it, my thoughts drift to everything but what I am doing. I bring my hand to my throat and tighten the necklace I have around my neck, the one Drake gave me. I haven't had time to give it back yet and I don't know if I will. Drake hasn't come to the office a single time this week, I don't know if it's because of me. And this situation makes me so uncomfortable. I want to see him, I want to know he's okay, even if he doesn't look at me, doesn't talk to me, I just want to see him. I hear the doorbell ring, who could that be? I really hope it's one of Maddie's acquaintances, because I really don't want to see anyone. I hear whispers outside my bedroom door, I roll my eyes, if they think they are being discreet they are mistaken, but what could they be talking about? It is undoubtedly about me, because if it had not been the case, they would not try to take all these precautions so that I do
