AUBREY He was looking at me like that again, that expression that always suggested that he did not know whether to wring my neck or do something really inappropriate to me. I just hoped I was reading him wrong, because any of those two things would cause very serious complications for us and we did not really want that, right? Also, I kind of doubted that he would want me like… that. He just stared at me like that for a couple of seconds, and then he casually strolled past me. I stood there, confused about what was going on until I heard the sound of the lock behind me and i jolted in shock, turning around now. He was facing me already, his face set as hard as stone. I swallowed trying to look away from his face, as it did something strange to me… I mean, why did the inside of my thighs just get so warm? "You still owe me a punishment. Actually, not just one punishment. You deserve a ton of them for trying to kill me. Normally, traitors like you get death in return, but since yo
COLE"Ow!" She whimpered after the first heavy clap to her ass and my jaw locked at once as I struggled not to think about it. I did not even know what I was doing with her right now. All the women who had ever betrayed me were slid off to cruel men in the brotherhood, or forced to strip for anyone of my underground clubs or even entertain the drunk gamblers at any of my casinos.So why the hell was I not doing the same to her?The thought stirred even more anger in me, because it triggered answers I did not want to know about.I landed the second and third smacks to her round, soft ass and her ass cheeks wiggled afterwards, while she tried to sneak her hand backwards to rub off the pain. I caught her hands and held them still behind her back, which caused her to let out a small, tortured cry.It was best to keep quiet whilst I did this, because we both knew that this was too fucking inappropriate. Well, she probably thought I did this to other girls as well. Why did I want to correc
AUBREYI avoided Cole at all costs, which was hard because whilst all Purity wanted was to be close to him, all I wanted was to stay far away from him. As far away from him as possible.So, because of this, I was away from my daughter whom I had missed so much when all I wanted was to be close to her.Today, though, Cole was not home. He had gone on a three day business trip and would be back the next day.I used the opportunity to bond with my child, she helped me with cooking just like we did at home. She had gotten so much better at recalling the stuff I used in preparing my meals, and I just felt like the proudest mother."Mommy, why aren't you adding any garlic or onions?" Purity, ever the most observant little girl questioned.I shrugged. "It's banned around here. Something… happened."She looked like she wanted to ask more questions, but then she must have seen the plea in my eyes which caused her to bury the question. I was grateful for this smart, little girl.I wished I coul
AUBREYPurity now waited for her dad to eat dinner with him, which meant I had to wait too, somewhere else, so I could tuck my baby in bed.I cooked for dinner now, taking extra care to avoid putting anything that would trigger his allergic reactions.Tonight, Cole had not returned from work and it was almost 10pm. I begged Purity over and over to just eat and go to bed because I had tried calling him with Sofia's phone but the call was not going through.According to her, Cole had promised to have dinner with her tonight, and he even reminded her about it before leaving for work in the morning."He must have forgotten, baby, maybe he would not be coming back tonight. He probably has a thing or two to attend to." I tried to reason with her, but she just lay on the couch, her eyes wide open as she looked at me.I would check every two minutes to see if she had started to even doze off a bit but I would meet her father's gray eyes staring back at me from her small figure on the couch.I
AUBREYI spent all night thinking about his offer, I recalled that I had not shivered when I had kissed him. That was a good sign, right? I tried to assure myself that this was just for a while, it was simply for a short amount of time until he was tired of me and then I would be disposed. Right?By the time I closed my eyes to surrender to sleep, it was almost morning and I ended up waking up later than I had wanted.Purity sat with Cole at breakfast by the time I walked downstairs after brushing my teeth and putting my hair in a messy bun. I was still in a pyjama set, a plain blue shirt and matching silk trousers.Cole's gaze on me suggested I was wearing something even more revealing, though. These days, I had started getting overly shy when he was around. I knew it was dangerous, I knew it was even more dangerous to accept his deal, but at this point…"Mommy? Come and join us!" She offered but I was quick to shake my head in refusal."Thank you baby, but I would just join Sofia—
COLE"We'll be very quick here, Andrew. Would you be giving us the money or not?" I asked, checking the time on my watch in an impatient manner.Andrew was shaking in his chair, sweat and blood plastered on his forehead as he begged, "Please, please I have a wife and a daughter, who's going to take care of them if you guys kill me? Please, it does not have to get to this… we can come to an agreement, please we need to come to an agreement…""Hmm. We have come to quite a number of agreements already, don't you think? You should have thought of your family before making such a bogus promise to us. We do not show mercy, Andrew, you should know this already." I informed him, but he stayed begging, with nothing to offer us but just words.If it was just words we ran our businesses with, we would be piss broke now. So, I motioned to the hitman by right, because I rarely did the dirty work. You could see me stained with blood or parading with a gun, but I hardly ever did the dirty work; th
AUBREYIt took a lot for me to finally escape from Cole's hold and go to end the live, my legs wobbling like I had just finished a marathon.Shit, the man could kiss."God damnit." I heard him explain when I bent down, and I muttered an apology, quickly straightening. When I had finally ended the live without checking comments out of fear, I turned around and cleared my throat."Can I… Can I change?""What for?" He shot back at once, moving closer until my back was pressed against the cold wall behind me. My eyes were fixated on his lips as his strong body pressed against my tits, I could feel his eyes on mine too."What's your answer, Aubrey? It has been a while now. My answer was due sometime ago." He stated, his hand sneaking under my skirt again. I kept my thighs tightly shut, embarrassed just by thinking of what he would find out if he dared to slip his fingers between my legs.Of course, he noticed. He looked down at my lower body, then back into my eyes. I managed to hold his g
AUBREYCole gave me two more orgasms with his fingers and made me suck him off until he came hard into my mouth.Sofia and I stood inside the kitchen now, she was helping me prepare dinner as always, whilst talking about something I was hardly listening to.The memories of the hot moment Cole and I shared did not want to leave my mind. Flashbacks of his fingers curled inside me and his lips assaulting my mine had me so distracted, I felt bad for Sofia who was just talking and talking.It was only when Purity made her entrance into the kitchen that I finally allowed myself to come back to the present. I turned to her and smiled,"You slept off in the car, I could not ask you how your first day in school went." I said to her, pulling her to me in an embrace.She giggled, "Was too bored with Peter. He is a good driver, but he tells lame jokes, they sound like the lullabies you sing to me."Sofia burst out laughing. Her laughter was so loud and unexpected, I was sure that the kitchen shoo

AUBREYFIVE YEARS LATER…"… over the years, Aubrey Frost has proven to be a force in marketing and business. From one store and a limited range of clothing, to one of the biggest clothing lines in America, scattered across the country, and from what I have heard, the company is set to make waves in other countries as well, anytime soon. Aubrey Frost makes billions of dollars in months, and that is asides what her husband makes from his endless chain of hotels. That family is indeed, one of the most successful, if not the most successful in New York City…" Cole nudged me, taking my attention away from the presenter who had an award to present to me. I sluggishly turned to him, wearing a huge smile of accomplishment on my face. He was grinning as well."Damn, I'm sitting next to a billionaire. Nice to meet you." He joked, outstretching his hand for a handshake. I took his hand and with all seriousness on my face, I said,"Good to meet you too. You are strikingly handsome, I must say. C
AUBREYIt was our wedding.This day was a miracle. Our miracle. I thought back to the incident at the house where I had thought for sure that I had lost Cole for good. I thought it was the end, and that my life was supposed to be that way… miserable and full of disappointments every step of the way.How then did a human who was practically submerged in so much fire escaped with only minor injuries and a breathing problem which only lasted days before it cleared up?How was I walking down the aisle now with Cole's father, who also doubled as my dad—I tried not to ponder much on that, by the way—I was walking down, ready to be handed over to Cole Frost as his wife.Yes, Luke had come to apologize, Elsa too. They had asked for forgiveness and wanted to be a part of our wedding. Cole had not wanted to forgive them, he sent them away from his office so they came to the house and begged me themselves, and I forgave them. I could not help but cry with Elsa as she cried, and I felt it when sh
COLEThe first video began to play on the screen and Dante loosened his tie, watching me all through.Laila tried to talk over the video and convince everyone that they should not be watching it, but everyone had all their attention on what was on the screen already."Oh hell, I hope that isn't who I think it is…" Ferdinand whispered, but it was still very much audible and made Dante's turn in the clip even more dramatic.As soon as he turned and his face was visible, there was collective gasps in the room, even more louder when he slammed the iron against our ex boss's head. Ricardo fell to the ground, lifeless, dead on the spot."What just happened?" It was one of the many murmurs that filled the room. Dante sat there, looking every inch of the Boss he was, even with the threat to his life playing on the screen."Ricardo was being difficult. He was an even bigger thief than I ever would be. I did you all a favour—""One which no one asked for." I reminded him, then instructed Ray to
COLE"Ready?" Ray asked me over the phone, and whilst grinning, I responded,"Ready. Today we take over the syndicate." I announced. He agreed to that, and we were still talking about some things that we would like to put in place when I heard a knock on the door. I ended the call and waited for the person to come in.Aubrey materialized at the entrance, softly closing the door as she entered into my home office. It was dark in here.. not exactly pitch black, but it was pretty dim.I could see her though. I could always see her. Well damn, now I was becoming emotional for no reason."Can I turn on the light, Sir? I want to talk to you." She pleaded. "You do not need to see me to talk to me. Say what you need to say, and leave." I told her, wheeling my chair towards her now."Oh… I, uh.. I woke up with the worst hangover, but… I recalled something… you were standing and uh… you kissed me. I don't think I was dreaming about the kiss because my lips are still sore!" She said all that at
COLELaila asked me to fire Aubrey. Of course, my first instinct was to say no. I had the word on the very tip of my tongue, but I decided to try to be patient. After all, by tomorrow, I would be executing my plan and I would finally get rid of her. I told her I would get rid of Aubrey in two days, as I did not have the time for drama at the moment."I need to prepare my child for the absence of her mother." I told her."Why can't the child go with her mother?" Laila asked in an impatient manner. "Because I want her with me. No child of mine would grow up outside of my territory." I gave her my best line, and it only took a short pause from the other end before she agreed and began to talk about how much pain she was in from the whole beating she received, and I had to beg her to not tell Dante about it first, as I would handle it in two days."Okay, babe. See you when you get back." She told me and I only hummed into the phone before ending the call.I decided to go home earlier to
AUBREY"Mommy, Auntie D said she would be visiting tomorrow." Purity announced with glee but I just frowned."What?" "She said you should call her." She handed the phone over to me, and I dialed Denise's number."You know this is very wrong timing, right?" I asked as soon as she picked up, just to be sure she had heard me when I explained that Cole never let any help bring in visitors if he did not permit it."Ray said you just need to ask him. Take permission and he would let you. I miss you guys so much and I want to come visit, is that too much to ask?" She sounded like she was dying and we were her ticket to another chance at life. The dramatic bitch.The thing was; I did not trust Denise. I did not trust Denise at all. I knew that aside from coming to see us, she had another reason why she was coming here… probably to cause a scene or two. But when I looked at my daughter, I saw the way she was really elated, and so I sighed,"I'll try to ask Cole. But please do not make a move
COLE"Do I always have to repeat the fact that you should watch your tone whenever you want to speak about my wife-to-be?" I asked after a while of being stunned by her revelation.Knowing my woman, she would not just make this accusation out of nowhere. No, she was not like Laila who would make up anything out of spite; it was the reason I was so interested in what she had to say.She rolled her eyes, and I pretended not to see that, just to let her talk, "I… Look, there's a recording, so I do not have to go on and on explaining myself." She pushed her phone into my hand and crossed her arms around her chest, which only caused her breasts to strain against her tank top with the action.She noticed I was looking, but even as her cheeks reddened, she did not drop her arms. Hell, it even looked like her eyes were daring me to do something about her stubbornness.It took a while, but I was finally able to tear my eyes off her and focus on the phone which I was given. The fucking tension
AUBREY"It's yours." Was Cole's cool response, and I almost fainted from the amount of rage that surged through my body at once.Laila had a different reaction to the news, though. She threw herself on Cole for the umpteenth time since she walked through those doors. Her excitement and the way she was rubbing it in by yelling her 'thanks' in his face were enough to make me snap."What the fuck do you mean…" I trailed off, realizing that I was only going to make it worse with that tone, so I amended instead, "You cannot give her the store, with all due respect, Sir."He tilted his head to the side in the usual way he did when he was trying to understand something."And why is that?" He questioned. I responded at once,"What do you mean why is that? I mean, you might have given me the place, but I have worked so hard to get it to where it is today, there is no way I am letting a complete stranger to take over what I have worked so hard to build. How can you even do this?""I do not care
