2024-10-29 19:42:56Stunned at the woman's keen observation Robin grew more nervous after her words. She had no idea how Rose found out about her fake marriage with Ethan and highly doubted the man told her himself. So then how else could she have known about it? Noticing her confused state and worried demeanour Rose sighed and turned to the worried woman.
"If you're wondering who told me I assure you no one did"
"Well, then how-"
"Sweetheart I've been here for years and have been with Mr Acres since he was in diapers. I know what goes on in this house without being told"
Shocked that her maid knew about their little secret she sat there frozen in place.
"Don't worry I'll keep my mouth shut. I might be old but I am more perceptive than my age"
Unsure of her promise she dwelled on what to do. It was true that Rose and she had grown a bit kinder to one another as closer was

Walking out of the doors fully refreshed and feeling much more limber than when she had walked in, Robin breathed in the air. She had felt like something had changed whether within herself or the world, she could not tell. It felt like she could see the world in a whole other different setting. The flowers seemed more bright and vibrant, the sky was clear and the sun shined brighter than ever. She felt like an entirely new person. And though she did not really want to admit it, that feeling was incited by Ethan. For such a long time in her life she felt as though she was nothing not even to the person she was engaged to however, Ethan made her feel worth being alive. That she was not a faulty product or anything. "How was the massage?" Mabel asked with bright curious eyes. Robin laughed at the boy's pure honest reactions and found them to be quite something refreshing. He reminded her of a golden retriever. Eager to please others always smiling like a little silly thing and full of

Seeing the worried look in her eyes she could tell that she was concerned for her husband. The realization only made the Madame smile in glee. She was thrilled Ethan had found such a caring wife but was a bit peeved that he was making her worry so much. Deciding against informing her since it was not her place to do so, she gave an indirect answer. "Well, let's just say your dear husband is in a little bit of a conundrum but, worry not! He is a capable man and knows what the world of business is like. I'm sure as a career woman yourself you know how cruel it can be." She did know that and it only worried her ore after all she herself has once involved herself with a dangerous man and came to regret it in the end. Thinking about her past decisions she was not proud with how she got what she wanted but we could not change things of the past. Noticing her now glum mood Jen thought of a way to help the poor little lamb she now wanted to protect. An idea struck and she smirked at the thou

Rubbing the exhaustion out of his eyes Ethan looked at the watch placed at the corner of his desk. He sighed in frustration at the realization that he had only been at work five hours and still had three more to go. He desperately wished to be back at home rolling in the sheets with his beloved wife instead however, doing so would only hinder the process with the board. He needed to get things together before their next meeting if things did not go as planned he would risk losing his company. Arriving at his place of work Robin thanked the driver and looked at the building before her. Her stomach sunk at the thought of having what happened last time possibly occur again but the words Madame Purrie said quickly tarnished that feeling. She was his wife and had nothing to worry about. Quickly removing her coat she shook her hair giving it more volume. The dress she wore was one she had picked with Ethan as it complimented her curves pairing it off with blood-red stilettos she was confid

Having completed their fornicating, Robin fixed her disarrayed dress while Ethan watched her in a panic state trying to hide the evidence of what they had just done in his office. His prying eyes lingered over her subtle breasts making their way down to where her dress accentuated her hips. Feeling the heated stare she looked up at the man only for him to do the same. Enthralled in a stare the two gazed at each other waiting for the other to make a move. Her eyes quickly glanced at his lips and then back at his eyes, but the look did not go unnoticed by him and he smirked at her actions. "We already went a round at home and now at my office but it seems as though that was not enough" He teased causing a blush to rush its way up her cheeks to her shoulders. Her reaction only stirred him more and he cupped the small of her back pulled her into his chest and again settled his lips on hers. Giving her ass a small squeeze she gasped at the movement, taking the opportunity Ethan slipped

Now alone in the room, Ethan contemplated on what point of direction to take next. He had already spoken to Mrs Fran of Becks Corporation and made arrangements for a meeting with Lady Fay. Later he would have to go and meet his aunt who played a huge role in all his plans. But he was still unsure if the woman would agree to it. Mrs Fran was easy as all he needed to do was appeal to her something she had been wanting since the beginning of their father's Corporation and Lady Fay was no better. Though in her case it had to do with her selfish husband. Since he already had dirt on the two men he could sell it to the women with a clause that they would agree to his cause. His aunt on the other hand was a very difficult woman to please. Offering to do the same with her as with the other ladies would be pointless as the cunning woman already had all the dirt she desired to crush her competitors. So then what else was he left to do but offer his own? However, that would only result in his do

Escorting Lady Fay out of his office he walked the Asian woman to the elevator."I must say I had no idea you had such a dark side to you Acres, it sits well on you"She complemented him with a sly smirk eyeing him from the corner of her eye. Ethan chuckled at the comment, he understood full well what she meant by that."One must be perceptive in the world of business. It seems that even the Japanese have a saying that goes, touch the Buddha's face three times and he will get annoyed."She laughed at the metaphor, amused that he went as far as learning something about her culture."Funny, I never took you for a saint though"Quirking a brow she watched him press the elevator button for her as they both stood in front of its doors waiting for it to arrive. Pocketing his hands he looked down at her with a smirk."Indeed, I never called myself one"At the sound of the doors opening he gestured for her to get on. Turning to the elevator she got on and looked at him with newfound respect.

Making her way to the mansion Robin sat in the back of the car watching the city lights flash by. She thought back to the day of her wedding or what should have been her wedding day. The night was just like this one, she had found herself driving back alone in the city to her apartment. Where no one was there waiting for her, and just like that night the street lights shined as bright and beautiful.Thinking back it was the same week she was hurled into the world of fame and paparazzi. Back then she was so confused that she could not even understand anything when Alec drove her to Ethan's place. Looking at the same familiar road they took she could not help but smile at the odd sense of joy she felt creeping its way up her chest. Though it was the very same scene playing before her it felt somewhat different. Perhaps in that state of mind, she could not bother admiring the scenery but this time she could.Shifting her gaze from the window back to Mabel she watched the younger person d

Passing the halls and making her way to the sitting room Robin saw Amelia, Ethan's assistant heading in her direction. She had her head down looking over the notes she held in her hand. Momentarily looking up to make sure she did not bump into anything her eyes widened when she saw Robin and immediately dodged the other woman's gaze.Confused by her attitude Robin shook it off and wrote it as unimportant. Turning a corner Amelia fled from the woman unable to bare the sight of her after what she witnessed in the office though Robin had no clue about it at all. Shaking her head trying to relieve her thoughts she stopped in front of a large black door, took a deep breath and raised her hand to it.Hearing a knock come on his door Ethan called out for the person on the other end to enter. At the sound of the door creaking open he looked up to see Amelia. She came into the room with a solemn expression written all over."Here are the documents you requested and the schedule for tomorrow is

Climbing a mechanic staircase, Robin winced with each step. After her discharge from the hospital, she was made to take physical therapy since she had been lying in bed for so long. It was a bit odd for her to be relearning how to walk at her age, but she needed to get back to who she was before."Alright, Mrs Acres. That is it for today. You did a great job"Her trainer complimented ending the session. Smiling at him with relief she could not be happier to be finished. "Thank you, Seb. Especially for coming all the way here"Unstraping the belt around her waist she threw it aside before placing her hands on her waist in exhaustion. "That is no problem at all. Besides, who else can brag about being in the infamous house of the Ethan Acres? I'll be telling this story for generations"Laughing at the joke she held a hand up to her lips. While the two were busy laughing they did not notice someone else entering the room. "I see you two are enjoying yourselves"Surprised at the voice t

Walking through the familiar large door Robin looked back at the man helping her up the stairs. His expression was somewhat solemn and dare she assume sad. She had no idea just what went on during the past three months of her hospitalisation for him to have a drastic change. Though he had always shown kindness towards her, these days it seemed that he was being extra cautious and caring. Like the time he peeled her orange for her, or when he was constantly asking if she needed anything during their ride home. They were little things and yet they seemed so sweet. What took the cake was when he brought her a bouquet of her favourite flowers, daisies. Out of all the gifts she had received while at the hospital, his was the best of them all. Recalling the gesture she smiled to herself. As they made their way to the bedroom, Robin turned to the left side where her room was. "Where are you going?"Ethan asked with a scowl. She looked up at him in confusion before answering with the most

Groaning awake her eyes fluttered open. Blinking away the fuzzy cloud over her eyes she tried to bring her hand over to help relieve the strain in her eyes, but something prevented her from doing so. Looking over at her hand she saw a larger, much rougher hand desperately clinging to hers. Looking up to the owner of the hands she froze at the full, head of dark hair sitting atop the bed. Although his face was out of view she easily recognized the man. That familiar warmth his hand brought, the large frame hunched over with slow steep breaths rising and falling at each breath he took. How could she ever forget the man she fell so in love with?She sat that for a while just staring at his hair, a small smile hovering on her lips. She had no idea just how much time had passed but it did not matter to her. She could spend years just watching him sleep and would feel satisfied with that alone.Noticing his shoulders shake awake she remained still, only observing the way his muscles moved.

"Oh, my dear little flower!"In rushed a worried Jen with arms out wide in a hug. Opening her arms to welcome the embrace the two held onto each other. Breaking from the comfort Robin smiled up at her."Madame Pourrie, thank you for coming"A tired yet happy Robin said to the well-dressed woman. She wore a large fur coat with a frilling top and a tight long skirt, topped with a top hat tilted to the side. Robin chuckled to herself at the older woman. who else other than the Madame would dress in such a fancy manner?"Pish, posh child did I not tell you to stop calling me that?"She reprimanded the dark-haired woman, slapping her on the arm forgetting she was an active patient. "Madame! She's a sick patient. You can't just hit her like that!"Laurelyn yelled at the former lady as she rushed into the room before pushing her aside to tend to Robin. Gazing down at the poor young woman in her bed she gave her a look of concern as she rubbed her arm where the Madame hit her."Oh, my apolo

It's dark. I feel cold. My body feels heavy as if it's floating in the dark abyss of the ocean. What is this feeling? This lonely, stuffy feeling. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Or was it someone? Why can't I move my fingers, or wiggle my toes? Why can't I open my lips to speak? Ah, my eyes are heavy, I can't open them. Just... What is this?"I should have listened to you"Who is that? "Robin, please wake up. It's all my fault"Who is this person and why does their voice sound so familiar?"I'm so sorry."What are they sorry for? Do I know this person? "Even if you don't forgive me, I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive me. Just please wake up"Forgive them? What could they have done that is deserving of my forgiveness? And what did they mean I should wake up? "Please, Robin."Wait, I feel like I know them somehow. The way they call my name, that low tone, that sends shivers done my spine. Wait, I think I know this person. What was their name again? Oh, I think it wa

Blankly looking up at the man before him for what felt like hours, Damien finally snapped out of his daze and without missing a note burst out laughing."Pfft, hahaha! Oh wow, to think it would be you of all people. What an unexpected turn of events"He spoke with a smirk as tears lined the corner of his eyes. To say he was surprised would be a lie, he had a hunch the very person who was retelling him of his offence in such leisure could be none other than the very husband of the woman he had wronged."Well, damn. Although I am a bit surprised at this I can't say I didn't see it coming. I mean, I'd also be jealous if my wife went out to meet her ex in a private setting like a restaurant."He grinned up at the male staring down at him. And that is all Ethan did, stare with a blank face. There was no sign of any emotion written on his face nor could there be any anger felt in the room. If anything he seemed calm and unbothered by Damien's taunting words. A bit too calm.But that did not

The septic smell of pure alcohol and medicine was so potent it could easily make one drowsy. Making his way past the white walls and waiting area with seats filled to the brim of patients waiting for their turn, a tired Alec stopped in front of a sickeningly white door. To his right written in bold black letters was a name tag. Mrs Acres.He sighed dropping his head to the floor before heaving a large breath. Raising his head he braced himself as he lifted a hand to the door.From the inside of the room, the sound of a gentle yet firm knock could be heard. The foreign sound is a contrast to the silent beeps of the monitor."Come in"Upon hearing the command Alec entered the room. Closing the door behind him the man orderly placed his hands in front. The bright yellow file in his hand stood out from the interior white walls. Everything inside seemed so artificial as though it was not even real, everything except the man sitting beside the bed, hunched over a small frame that laid still

Driving down the city streets the bright city lights flashed by like shooting stars. The different lights blurred together at the speed Ethan drove, making it seem like one was in the middle of a rainbow. Behind the wheel, the man knit his brows together in worry. Immediately after hearing about Robin's accident he hurriedly made his way down his car and drove without hesitance. It was as if his body moved on its own as before he knew it he was already behind the wheel and on the road. "Come on, get out of the way!"He growled at the driver ahead of him repeatedly beeping for them to speed up or get out of his way. His head was muddled up with all sorts of thoughts running through his head. His heart was racing faster than a horse on a race track and his mind could hardly keep up. At the hospital, a team of nurses rushed an injured and concussed Robin down to the operating room. Her eyes were bloodied and unfocused she could only make out the outlines of people surrounding her and

With his face to the side, a stinging sensation made its way through his cheek. He looked at Robin who only glared up at him with tears in her eyes before storming out of the room and slamming the door shut. with a hand on his cheek, he flexed his jaw to ease the sting in his cheek. Groaning in irritation he leaned back on his desk. Running a hand through his hair he swept the stray locks back only for them to slowly fall back over his forehead. Sighing he looked back to his tablet. Grabbing it he began going over the files Alec had gotten him about Damien.According to his findings, the man was a convicted felon with multiple charges of assault, robbery, breaking and entering. This guy had so many charges going as far as being caught selling drugs and being involved with some nasty people in the underworld. It seemed that he and Robin use to be in a relationship some years ago but it ended when he disappeared with some of her money. For some reason or another, he was back in the c
