After the meeting, Elizabeth followed Richard to his office even though he warned her not to. But his stubborn wife will always do as she wanted.“Come on Richie, don't push me away. You need me in a time like this,” she said as she walked over to his seat. She sat on the desk, facing him. “I know how you must feel. You have been away for three days on a business trip and you came back to this. Don't worry, we will figure this out together.”How are they going to figure this out? The launching date is around the corner. How will they create another design in such a short period of time? His head is in turmoil. All he feels right now is anger. Elizabeth made herself comfortable between his legs. Richard looked up to her, he wanted to push her away but couldn't. Why does he feel that he needs her comfort? They have been married for more than two weeks now but that's not enough time to make him start feeling this way towards her. Heck! He started feeling this way the first day they met
Richard was kissing her like there's no tomorrow. One would notice how long he has yearned to do this. It was like he was trying to make up for all those times that he was trying to kiss her but restrain himself. He cupped the back of her head as he drew her closer, his tongue sucking every inch of her mouth. Why is he suddenly fueled with so much desire that he couldn't control? Could it be for the fact that he missed her for these three days he was on a business trip or the fact that he's trying to pour his anger out because of the company's stolen design. Either way, he just can't control himself right now or get enough of this kiss. The more he kisses her, the more he yearns for the kiss. He pulled her on his lap, pressing their body together. He pressed her so hard on himself as if he wanted her to disappear into him. He groaned as her ass touched his hard bulge. It made him kiss her harder as his hands ran through her back trying to get past the fabric. He wants to run his han
Richard was confused at what had just happened. He was dumbfounded as he watched Elizabeth run out of his office. What suddenly happened? Isn't this what she wants? Besides, she was enjoying it, and all of a sudden….He looked down at the huge bulge hiding behind his pants as he frowned. How could she run away after causing this big mess? He felt like going to her office to get answers, but he wouldn't want her to get ideas. If she thinks that he's going to beg her for sex, then she's mistaken. He doesn't want her to think that he was greatly aroused by that little make out.He groaned as he throbbed thinking of how hot everything was going…. The taste of her lips…. The softness of her breast and the feel of her skin. Everything lingered in his mind.Fuck!This won't do….. he stood up and walked towards the bathroom in his office. He frowned in anger. He hates doing this. He will surely make her pay for making a mess of him and then run away.…..Richard wanted the launching to procee
“I told you not to touch my things!” Richard growled as he picked the picture. He noticed the sad and painful look in Elizabeth's eyes, but it vanished immediately. He thought maybe he imagined it.“That wasn't intentional.” she rolled her eyes, thinking that he's overreacting. “I was looking for my red skimpy nightwear. It is my favorite.”“And how does that have to do with my wardrobe.” Richard hissed.“We share the same closet, I thought maybe it's there.” she replied lazily. “ Why the fuck are you even angry? That was just a picture, and it's not like I ruined it. It's still intact.”Richard's eyes flashed in anger as he grabbed her arm recklessly, making her wince slightly. “It is not just a picture! Don't ever come near my things again!” He warned and yanked her off. She nearly fell down but luckily maintained her stamina.“That's your ex-wife, right?” She asked calmly as she rubbed her arm to reduce the pain. There was a red mark left there by his hard grip.His intense gaze g
Elizabeth gathered herself together and went down for dinner. Before she left the room, she checked her secret phone and as expected she saw a message.‘Everything is moving smoothly.’ The message reads.There's another one. She opened it. ‘When are we going to meet?’She sighed and looked toward the bathroom door. Richard entered there a few seconds ago before she decided to check her phone. She returned her attention to her phone as she typed.‘Soon. Just be patient, and continue with our plan.’After typing and sending the message, she hid the phone and left the room. She walked down the huge spiral stairs and was walking towards the dining room when Natalie blocked her path. Natalie flashed her a cocky smile as she drank from her bottle of wine. Elizabeth tried not to cringe her nose. Natalie always reeks of alcohol even when she's not drinking one. She wonders what's her problem. What pain is she going through, trying to use the alcohol as her reliever? Well, that's none of he
After dinner, Richard went to his home office. He has a lot of work to do, and he doesn't think if he will even have some sleep tonight. He had worked for about two hours when Elizabeth walked in with a cup of coffee.Richard frowned upon seeing her. He hates what this woman makes him feel. “What are you doing here?” His voice was cold.Elizabeth simply smiled as she dropped the cup of coffee on the table. “I brought you coffee. It will help.”“I don't need it.” Richard replied sarcastically.“You need it. Stop being stubborn. I'm just trying to be a sweet wife.”“Well, you don't have to. Leave with your coffee.”Elizabeth frowned. He is such a stubborn man. She sighed and sat opposite him.“I asked you to leave!”“Why are you so adamant about me leaving? My presence isn't stopping you from working.” She retorted. Suddenly, she smirked and leaned forward, exposing the tip of her cleavage. Richard cursed inwardly and tried not to look. “Is my presence affecting you, Richie? In a way
“Richie, do you think we will be able to create another design before the launching date? I mean, can we meet up with the date?” Elizabeth asked as she sat opposite Richard in his office. Richard has been busy since yesterday. Elizabeth doesn't know if he slept in his home office yesterday night because he was busy or because he was avoiding sleeping in their room with her. “We will, you don't need to worry. Everything will be handled very well.” Richard replied, not sparing her a glance. His eyes were fixed on the laptop in front of him. It's not like he's working, he's just trying to avoid her. “Richie…” “I'm busy.” He cut her off. “Go back to your office, we can talk some other time.” He knows that he can't avoid her, but for now he just wants her to leave. He needs to gather his thoughts. A lot is in his mind, and he feels like he would go crazy. “I've been working since morning. I need a break.” She said with cute pouty lips. “I know that you are also tired of working. Let
After work, Elizabeth didn't make use of her car. She was fast to enter Richard's car before the driver drove away.“What the fuck…. Why are you here?” The startled Richard asked. It was like a flash. He was pressing his phone and the next thing…. She was already in the car that was about to move. Elizabeth flashed him an innocent smile and adjusted to a good position. “My car was having a problem. So I decided to ride with you.” She lied. Of course, her car was full of life. It's just an excuse to ride with Richard.“Then take a taxi.” Richard said coldly and turned to the driver. “Stop the car!”The driver found a good spot on the roadside as he carefully parked the car. “Are you getting off here, Richie?”“You are getting off, not me!”“Woah! Richie, you can even read my mind now. How did you know that I wanted to stop by the mall to get something?”Richard rolled his eyes. Is she dumb or what? “Yeah, mind reading is one of my jobs. Step down already!” He flinched a bit when Eli
Elizabeth widened her eyes in shock. What did he just say? She's Annabelle? What's he blabbing? She's not fucking Annabelle! “You think I will not know? Even if you change your face and change everything about you. I will still recognize you, Annabelle. You can't deceive me,” he said with a dangerous smirk.Elizabeth gulped down, but didn't let her fear show. She's not weak. Elizabeth is never weak. With all her strength she pushed him away. She sat up from the bed as she held her neck, coughing and trying to catch her breath. Richard, who fell on the other side of the huge bed sat up as he glared at her. “What are you doing here, Annabelle. How dare you come back here after what you did.”“I don't know what came over you and what made you to speak such nonsense, but I'm not Annabelle.” Elizabeth said after filling her lungs with air as she climbed down the bed. “You reek of alcohol. I wonder how much you drank to the extent of talking rubbish. You need to go and freshen up. I belie
“What? That can't be possible.” Noah cuts in.“Why won't it be possible? She looks like Annabelle and I can't find anything on her as Elizabeth. She reminds me so much of Annabelle. Whenever I'm with her, I feel like Annabelle is there. Even when I kissed her….” He muttered the last sentence. “What if she's Annabelle and her goal is to destroy my family. What if she's here to take away everything my family has. It could be possible that she did surgery to change her face.”“Can you listen to yourself, Richard. Do you think Annabelle is capable of doing that?”“She is. Have you forgotten what she did five years ago.”“Come on buddy….. do you really believe that Annabelle could do such a thing?” Noah said with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He has tried severally to make his friend understand that the Annabelle they both knew can't do what they accused her of. Yes, the evidence was there but it was still hard to believe. What if that evidence was made up? Though he has tried to f
When Noah saw the news of Richard being married to Elizabeth Carter, he was so disappointed in his best friend. How can he give up on Annabelle? Though they have been searching for her for the past five years and still haven't found her, they still can't give up. He called Richard and he said that he will explain everything to him once he's back. Now that he's back, he can't wait to know why Richard suddenly got married to a woman that nothing much is known about. “Start talking buddy. Who is this Elizabeth Carter and why did you marry her?”Richard doesn't feel like saying anything to Noah right now but he has already promised to tell him everything once he's back. He took a deep breath and explained everything to him. Noah is one person that Richard tells everything to. He literally knows most of Richard's secrets. “So you are saying that you married her because you want to know what her true intentions of blackmailing you is. And right now, it seems that you are slowly falling i
Richard removed the coat wrapped around Elizabeth's body by the young man and gave it back to him.“I don't think my wife needs this anymore,” he said and grabbed Elizabeth's hand walking her to the car, but Elizabeth forcefully freed her hand from his grip. “Don't you think that you need to apologize first. You left me here in the cold, and now you come back and you are rude towards the person that was trying to help me.” “I……” he paused and ran his palm through his face. “Does that matter now? Whether I apologize or not, it won't change a thing. Come on, let's go, and stop being stubborn.”Elizabeth glared at him. What was she expecting? He will never change. Always a spoiled brat full of pride. She turned to the young man. “Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.”“You are welcome.” The young man replied with a bright smile. Richard glared at him as he grabbed Elizabeth's hand, dragging her to the car. He's angry, but he can't even explain why he's angry. He opened the c
