She would not share her man with her or anybody. Leila rolled her eyes. Was she surprised and disappointed she didn't get fired after meeting with the CEO? "Well, It seems I didn't get fired at the end of the day. The shame is on you." Leila was not the type to speak rudely to people but she felt Reg disrespected her. Did she truly want her to be fired? They were all glaring at her like she was just a piece of shit. Reg threw Leila an awful look. She had underestimated Leila. "Did you seduce the CEO?" The CEO was a very handsome man. Even though they all had a huge crush on David, none had the nerve to profess love to him. David had only been her man in her head. Leila's eyes widened. She was losing patience. Seduce him? She tried to calm herself down. "What if I did seduce him? What if we have something going on? Should you not be afraid I will persuade him to just fire you?" Reg was taken aback. Anger flickered in her eyes. She would have called Leila a bitch but she
She could not believe it. How on earth could this happen? Scarlet held her hand as though she was seeing through her pain. "He is the one." Leila's voice trembled. "Who?" "I don't know. Something is wrong with my memory." She racked her brain trying to remember. She felt numb. She's sure the memory of him flickered through her head just now. It was just like she caught a glimpse of it. She was perplexed as she slumped down in bed. She knew something was wrong with her memory of David. It felt like that part of her memory of him vanished. What was that memory? ONE MONTH LATER Leila had gotten used to the incessant glares at the workplace. She was the secretary who had won the CEO's heart. She was envied and disliked by her co-workers. They had witnessed David talking politely to Leila, and it had shocked them a great deal. Leila had duly followed the rules like her life depended on them. Few of his employees had started treating Leila nicely. They believed she was in
He wanted more of her. He wanted her soul and body. He wanted to taste every part of her body, and this was not just enough. He stopped. He leaned back in his chair staring at her in the face. He would have had his way with her right here in his office but he was controlling himself. Something was seriously holding him back. He wanted to flip her over this desk now and ride her from the back. He would not release her until she screamed his name. He badly wanted to know what was holding him back. He wasn't always this patient. Leila could still taste him in her mouth. Her eyelids fluttered but did not open. Why did he stop?"That's your punishment for breaking the rules." Leila opened her eyes. She met his gaze. "The more rules you break, the greater the punishment." He added. Leila's eyes widened. She smiled shyly. She liked the punishment. She had better break more rules to receive greater punishment. He wanted her to dare him this time. He smirked at the thought o
Leila gasped.She had talked when he had not given her permission.She wondered what kind of punishment he had for her this time.David rose. He lifted her gently and made her face him.Her heart rammed against her chest. What would he do to her?He stared deeply into her eyes. It was as though they were holding their secrets.He held her chin up. Her face was closer to his.Her breath came in short pants.He bent over her, tilting his head, he kissed her upper lip and slowly, he slid his tongue into her mouth.He tasted every corner of her mouth.But it was not enough.She stroked his chest. But he slowly took her hands off his chest.He did not want her to touch him.He unbuttoned her shirt and kissed her neck.She gasped as made her sit on the desk.He wrapped one hand around her waist, holding her in one place.He slowly took off her underwear.Now, her body was his. She would surrender her body to him. Her entire life would be his.Her full and perky breasts were killing him.He
She only had one person left for her as family.Her elder sister.She's scared to lose people so, she had always been by herself.She smiled."I can't think of any."David chuckled.He stared intently at her.Did she not understand his question?He quickly changed the topic and asked for his schedule for the day."There's a board meeting by 3 pm today. I have prepared the presentation materials for you."David pinched his eyebrows. He would discuss the new marketing strategy with his team.He had forgotten totally."You also have a conference...."A loud knock at the door interrupted her.David smiled broadly at the sight that greeted him."Anna."He was not expecting her but he was glad to see her.Leila was sure Anna wasn't a worker here."Is this your new secretary?"Anna asked David while she took her seat.She stared at Leila sharply.Leila felt she was rude to her.She wanted to welcome her but at that moment, Anna had asked David if Leila was his secretary.Anna glared at her.
All eyes widened.Leila felt so ashamed.She tried to pull her hands away from him but he held it firmly.Was this her punishment?His employees would have a lot to say about them.This was not what she wanted. She met Reg's glare on her. If eyes could kill people, she would have been dead now.She had no idea why he was doing this.They had better quickly get out of here.She quickened her pace but he still held on to her hand.A luxurious car was waiting for them in the driveway.Two men in decent black suits opened the door to the passenger seat for them.David signaled to the driver.Leila heaved a sigh when the driver started the car."Where are we going?"She asked him.He crossed his legs and was pressing his phone.He turned to face her."Are you scared?""No.""Will you trust me then?"His gaze on her was sharp as nails.She trusted him."Does this have to do with my punishment?"He held her chin up."You ask too many questions. Yes. It's to do with your punishment."The luxu
"What?"Leila was dumb.This was all about rules and punishment?She chuckled.Had he not for once felt anything for her?"You used me."David's forehead crinkled.He thought they were both having fun.Anger flickered in her eyes.She felt entrapped by him.He slid out of bed and put on his clothes quickly."Stop the unnecessary accusation. If you want me to double your salary, I'll do that."Was this all about money?Didn't he think about her feelings?"All this is part of the rules."Was he crazy?What fucking rules?"Rules?"She could not believe her ears."You were nice to me so you could fuck me. You used me."She got up."You're a monster!""I'm not having this conversation with you any longer. I thought we were having fun. You brought love in, I don't care."David knew all along she loved him but the fact was that women always fell for his looks.They were all the same. He would shush her with money as he had always done to the likes of her.Surrendering her body to him was ini
Leila knew there was nothing for her to arrange again. She stood akimbo as she stared at the cabinet in his office.She had no idea what to do.After doing nothing for a few minutes, she stepped out to let him know she was done arranging his office.This time, he took a thorough look at it and nodded his head. He released her so he could do what he asked her to do.Leila arranged a board meeting and prepared the presentation materials to be used.After that, she ran errands for him.Leila brought reports to his office.He sent her back to prepare another report.He found fault in whatever she did and shouted at her. Adam had just come in when he witnessed David flung the reports.His eyes widened.Anger flickered in David's eyes. Adam had never seen him mad at Leila before.Leila picked up the scattered reports and headed out.Adam shifted his gaze to David.What could have happened between them?He cleared his throat."Perhaps another secretary is what you need."He's also bored of L
The soft, white sand stretched as far as the eye could see, and the rhythmic sounds of crashing waves provided a soothing backdrop for the joyous occasion.David and Leila would be celebrating their love on a picturesque beach.The beach was beautifully adorned with delicate white and pastel-colored flowers, carefully placed to enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings. A romantic arch, intricately woven with cascading blooms, served as the focal point for the ceremony. Gauzy white curtains billowed gently in the coastal breeze, creating an ethereal atmosphere.Rows of comfortable seating, decorated with flowing ribbons and flower petals, awaited the arrival of their beloved guests.It was a beautiful day for both Leila and David. Leila was adorned in a stunning white gown, gently gliding down the aisle, Scarlet took her arms as they walked side by side.Her eyes were locked on David, the man she cherished and would spend the rest of her life with. It was the best moment, seeing
Leila's heart raced with excitement as she strolled hand-in-hand with David through a romantic park on a cold night.David held her hands and began."You complete me. Your smile awakens me, making me want to burst open...you are my strength and weakness. Without you, my life is meaningless."Tears glistened in Leila's eyes. A warm blush rose to her cheek. She felt a surge of ecstasy washed over her.She loved him so much too. Her eyelids fluttered.She gasped. She wrapped her hands around him and kissed him like it would be her last."I love you so so much."As they walked along a moonlit path, Leila saw a soft glow in the distance. Curiosity lit up her eyes as they reached an open area of the park, revealing a breathtaking sight: a dark sky illuminated with bursts of colorful fireworks dancing in the air which said,'will you marry me?'Leila wasn't sure she had seen it. She wasn't dreaming.She was amazed. Her eyes lit up."Oh my goodness! David, did you see that?"She turned her he
David ran down the stairs."See who's here."Rebecca cringed when she saw David.David sighed and removed his hands from his pocket. He was not expecting to see her.Leila knew Rebecca stayed with Collins and also lost her baby. David had told her all about it."I know you've learned your lesson. I hold no grudges against you."Leila meant what she said. Rebecca just had to start doing the right thing from now on.David furrowed his brows at Rebecca. She should thank her stars she did the right thing. If she had not come to apologize, he would have come for her.Ryan gazed at Rebecca. Her eyes were begging Leila and David. Ryan had intentionally let her in.She had to apologize to Leila for everything she did to her. Leila deserved all the apologies.Now that Ryan gazed intently at her, she was not on her knees. How could she be standing and apologizing?Ryan made her knelt. He pressed her down.He then winked at her. That was the right way to apologize."You can leave now. I will for
Scarlet, Thomas, and James came in with bouquets in their hands and wide smiles on their faces.Leila was ecstatic. Scarlet and Thomas looked like a couple when they stood side by side.They hugged. Scarlet was glad to see Leila. She meant the whole world to her.James had grown tall.They all had a lengthy conversation, giggling and laughing.It was all Leila needed at that moment. Their enemy was no more, it was everything to Leila.Now, she didn't have to sleep in fear. She had always worried herself out, doubting if everything would be alright in the end.She was glad her mind had found peace now.It was over.Thomas and James later took their leave. Scarlet stayed back, she had a lot to discuss with Leila."I know."Scarlet began.Leila did not get her. What did she know?"I know about Collins and David."Leila still did not get her. She wondered what it was she knew about Collins and David."Someone by the name.....Anna. Yes, Anna. She explained everything to me."Leila gazed in
He shoved it inside his mouth."Eat your eye! You evil bastard."He spat it out, moaning.Collins felt the World closing in on him. He muttered,"I hate you."He cackled softly. He would come again for Leila even after death. He would haunt her in her dreams and become her nightmare.David drove a sharp dagger into his mouth. He pulled it out and stabbed him all over the face.After he had destroyed his face, he unsheathed a silver dagger and drove it into Collins's chest.TWO DAYS LATEREverything felt like a dream to Leila. Her eyes snapped open.She didn't feel weak or felt any pain in any part of her body.She easily slid out of bed and made her way through the hallway to the living room. She had no idea what was happening.She was stunned at the sight that greeted her in the living room.She gaped.Anna saw her first."Leila."The rest of the werewolf family were having a discussion, they had not seen Leila quickly.Anna rushed toward her."How do you feel? Is your jaw stretching?
Tears streamed down her face.She had begun to feel nauseous. Something was pulling her from the inside.She wondered if that was her inner wolf. Her eyes widened. She had no idea what it would look like for her to change into a werewolf.She was sure she had been infected by Collins. A bite alone meant something."It's almost getting dark. I will begin the first phase of the honeymoon. The first phase of the honeymoon would be before we wed and the second phase would be after we have wedded. When it's full moon."Leila had not been listening the whole time. Her mind was occupied with the thought of changing into a werewolf.Collins didn't care if she was listening or not. He had come a long way. He could not wait to start the first phase of his honeymoon.He stripped her off.Leila was gobsmacked."What? What are you doing?"She was left only with her undies. She tried to break free from the chair she had been bound to.She was screaming.Collins did not stop. He fondled her breast a
Anna was sure Valerie had seen something."If you had seen the innocent Collins, you would feel pity for him. I thought it was cruel of Valerie to say that. I was angry.""You didn't ask her why she said you could kill if need be?"Anna asked Silas."She said I would know if the time comes."Silas answered and continued."I flared up and told her she shouldn't have adopted him if she could not show him care and love. Our parents didn't raise us to be cruel."David didn't say anything. He was just listening attentively. He knew Silas was going somewhere."I raised Collins. He was a sweet boy, I thought he would be aggressive. It baffled me I didn't see anything strange about his behavior."He paused and continued."My anger at Valerie intensified. I thought she said all those mean things about Collins because she didn't want to take responsibility for him. Some weeks later, Valerie divorced her husband and moved to California with her new lover."David had now become impatient. Silas w
She meant it."If David had not caught us, I would have slapped your dirty face. You have no shame!"She spat. He disgusted her.Collins exhaled deeply."Well, there's nothing you can do about it. If you do not want me, I want you. Jane would not have died if you did what asked you to do.""Get my niece's name out of your decaying mouth.""Should I brief you on how she died?"His lips curved into a smile."I also bound her to the same chair you are currently bound to. She begged me to take her out of this creepy place. She cried for her mummy and Aunt."Leila stared dagger at him. If eyes could kill, hers could have killed Collins by now."She was scared, she hugged me, I had no other choice. When I thought of you and David fucking, it made my heart bleed, and there was no room for mercy."He paused. He bent over Leila. He wanted her to hear what he was about to say clearly."I drove the knife into her left eye first."His breath brushed her face. Leila was shaking. She wanted to brea
They knew they deserved no mercy because they failed to do their job.David opened his eyes. He exhaled deeply."Collins is the devil behind all this. Get your things and disperse. We are hunting him down."He was sure they understood he meant weapons when he told them to get their things.They all looked at themselves with wide eyes. How was that possible?"Collins?"Ryan asked. He was lost. He wanted to be sure David had not mentioned the wrong name."Yes. I found out...he deceived us all."Scarlet was sure she had not misheard him. How could he be spewing nonsense?"What?"She moved closer to him and gazed at his face. Was he sure of what he was saying at all?David knew it would be hard for everyone to believe. Collins had the most innocent face that concealed his darkest heart.He slipped his hand into his back pocket and brought out Jane's journal.He handed it over to her. Scarlet collected it. She wondered where he saw it. Thomas had given the journal to Jane as a birthday gif
