My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Physically Attracted
An awkward silence ensues in the room as Emily rubs the cotton silk fabric of my loungewear in her hands. “Come, let me show you to the bathroom,” I say, leading the way and her soft footsteps follow behind me. I know a lot of thoughts are going through Emily’s head at the moment but soon, she will come to understand that this is my way of teasing her. I deliberately took these subtle actions, hinting at something I had no plans about. “The housekeeper has already drawn a bath for you,” I say to Emily as I dip two fingers into the bathtub. “And it’s warm.” I turn to her, straightening my back. “You should take a bath now.” “Thank you, Mr—I mean, Christopher,” Emily thanks me, meeting my gaze as heat rise to her cheeks. She looks like she’s looking for a way to tell me to leave, but I’m actually unbothered and pretend not to know. I go on to show her a few things and finally, when I have nothing else to talk about, I leave her to go on with her bath. I am tempted to ask Emil

Emily lay naked in the bathtub, asleep. And for a moment, I do not know where to turn to. She must be so exhausted as I didn’t expect that she would fall asleep while having a bath. I’m being thrown in a dilemma as I don’t know if it’s proper to step forward or not. The housekeeper is still serving the dishes, and she might not be able to carry Emily out by herself. Finally, coming to a decision, a take one step forward and then another until I’m standing right in front of the tub, looking down at Emily’s naked body before me. The water is clear enough to reveal her ample chest to me. As soon as my eyes lands on her twin peaks, my dick twitches and a breath gets stuck in my throat. Quickly, I turn away and rub my face with my palms. “Christopher, calm down! This is not right.” I can’t believe that a day would come when I will give myself a pep talk after seeing a woman naked. I’m normally not like this which leaves me in confusion. Have I been starved so badly of sex that I no

“Your girlfriend isn’t joining you for dinner?” My housekeeper asks me I return to the dining room without Emily.I pull out a chair for myself and let my gaze take in the dinner spread before responding to her question. “She has gone to bed. It’s just me.”The housekeeper nods and pours a glass of water for me before excusing herself.A deep sigh escapes my lips. Now left alone, my gaze wanders back to the sudden kiss from Emily. I wonder if she will remember what she did by the time day breaks.~***~Emily’s POV.I wake up with a splitting headache as soon as day breaks. And I end up with instant regret the money I try to sit up on the bed.A groan escapes my lips as I massage my forehead, taking in my surroundings.“Just how many glasses of champagne did Christopher have me drink?” I ask myself as I carefully get off the bed and head for the bathroom, but not without touching the walls in other to steady myself.It takes a lot of effort to brush my teeth and wash my face a

Christopher is already waiting in the living room by the time I arrive. “Are you set?” He asks me, already on his feet after sighting me. And I think I catch him staring longer than usual since he might want to see how the outfit he bought suits me. “Yes,” I nod, walking towards him. Christopher turns to his housekeeper and tells her that he won’t be having dinner at home, before leading me out the door. In the car, let’s out a deep sigh before shifting his gaze to me. “I’ve been observing you quietly for a while thinking that you need a private opportunity to do it, but seeing how quiet you are, you leave me no choice but to directly ask about it.” “What?” My brows furrow in confusion as I meet his accusing gaze. I literally have no idea of what he’s talking about. “Don’t you have anything to apologize for?” Christopher questions me, leaving me in confusion. Right when I think he’s mad at me for something I know nothing of, his gaze softens. “What do I have to

During lunch break, I go to deliver Christopher’s lunch to him and then he tells me that we will be having dinner together.“I need to go back home early today,” I say to him.“Are you parents disturbing you?” He looks at me. “You can just tell them I invited you for dinner.”A deep sigh escapes my lips. Being absent from my family for more than 24 hours has me feeling like I’m missing a lot.I mean, I don’t miss them, I just think that I might have missed some information that might help me.Although it looks like Brenda did not succeed in convincing our parents to hand Christopher to her, I don’t trust that she wouldn’t come up with something new just to dash my dreams.Brenda is very cunning and with my absence, who knows what kind of evil ideas she has filled Mum and Dad with.I look to Christopher and have a hard time refusing his request so in the end, I accept it.“Okay, I will just inform them after work.” It’s not like Mum and Dad will be pissed with me. Instead of

“It looks like our dinner plans will have to be cancelled,” I say to Christopher as soon as I drop the call on my Mum.“Your sister is hospitalized?” Christopher asks me with a slight frown. “Yes.” I release a deep breath. “She has a bad kidney and needs a transplant urgently, so she keeps getting hospitalized once in a while.” Christopher holds my gaze for a moment before turning to order the chauffeur to take us to the hospital before shifting his attention back to me.“It seems like you are really not loved for someone who is the biological daughter of her parents.”Christopher’s statement cuts deep into me. Note that I’m not mad at him, but at my situation. I can’t even feel proud of my background.The thought of getting together with someone like Christopher makes me so ashamed that I think less of myself.I bet that in the other part of his mind, he must be regretting having me as a partner because I’m not even useful to him. I’m just the daughter of a rich known busine

“What do you mean?” I ask Mum, unsure of what she had just said to me. Maybe I’m mistaken, so I need her to clarify the matter with her. “Didn’t you hear me? Are you deaf?!” Mum shouts in my ear. “I said you won’t leave this place without giving a kidney to your sister! I don’t care of you hate her or not, but you will be the one to save her. Is that clear?” I scoff, burying my face in-between my knees. May God help me not to explode on my mother. Is she alright by the way? How can she threaten me about giving a part of my body out, and that to to a human being I hate so much? I am left in shock as I lift my head to meet Mum’s gaze. “I want to take what you just said to me as a joke. Don’t bother repeating it again.” Standing to my feet, I look her in the eyes and continue, “I won’t give my kidney to Brenda, and no one has the right to force me into d—.” ‘Pah!’ Instantly, I feel a sting on my left cheek and my palm fly up to my face to clasp it. Mum had just hit me, and fo

Christopher’s POV.When the ten minutes time interval I gave to Emily expired, I wait for another extra minute before pulling out my phone to call her.The phone rings for a while before going straight to voicemail.‘Why is she not picking up?’ I think to myself as I try her contact again and this time around, the mechanical voice says her phone it’s off.I don’t need another sign to know that something wrong has happened. Immediately, I unclasp my seatbelt and order the chauffeur to unlock the car.“I’m going up to find Emily, keep the car close,” I instruct the chauffeur before stepping out of the car.As soon as I into the hospital, I stop at the front desk and give the Wilson’s family name and immediately the nurse tells me their room number and directs me on how to get there.Something had better not happen to Emily otherwise, I won’t spare anyone.It’s possible that I might be thinking too much about the situation, but I can’t just rule out the possibility of Emily’s parents doi

My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Christopher Proves A Point to Barbara
“What’s funny?” Christopher asked in genuine confusion as he met my gaze, but I quickly shook my head, refusing to answer that question. “Nothing,” I smiled at him. “I shall return to my desk. Have a good day, Mr. Moore, and see you at your lunch.” As soon as I made my statement clear, I opened the door and walked out, shutting it with a soft thud. Then it took me a few moments to recover and adjust my emotions before making my way back to my office. Stella was eagerly waiting for my return which was evident from the way she leaned out of her table as soon as she saw me walk back in. “What is Mr. Moore’s excuse this time around?” she inquired with her gaze on me and I told her the exact reason Christopher gave to me. “Oh…” Stella drawled. She had a mixed expression at the news. While she was happy that Barbara wasn’t promoted because she was deserving of that position, she was still a bit dissatisfied with her. Just like me, she must be wondering if there wasn’t any other w
My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Christopher Gives His Reasons
“I just stepped into the office this morning and learned the worst news in recent times since I started work at Transcorp,” Stella started, turning her full attention to me. And I can tell by the way her jaw flexed that she was trying hard to control her emotions. I pretended not to have any idea of what she was talking about just to be on the safer side and probed, “What bad news did you hear?” “Barbara Collins was promoted and moved from the secretary’s desk to the Management department. Didn’t you hear about it when you clocked in this morning?” Stella inquired, narrowing her eyes. I could tell she was just mad at the situation, and not at me, so there wasn’t any need for me to lie to her, especially when she was being so honest with me. “I heard about it,” I admitted as my shoulders naturally slumped. I’ve been tensed all morning since finding out the news, and I still felt that Christopher owed me some answers. “And you have no idea why she was given a promotion she didn
My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Emily's Anger
Emily’s POV. As the warm water from the shower splashes on my head and pours down my body, I can’t help but think about Christopher and what he was doing now. We didn’t have much time to ourselves at work today and standing under the shower only made me miss him more. Thoughts of Christopher occupied my mind until I turned off the shower and stepped back into my bedroom dressed in my pyjamas. And in my bid to quickly check my phone to see if there has been any text from him yet, I discovered that one of my bags which I returned from work with, was missing. My brows creased in worry as I began to think of the place where I must have left it because I am quite sure that I took both bags with me while leaving my office. “Did I leave it my car or...?” My thoughts immediately come to a halt when I finally remembered the last possible place where I might have left it. Almost immediately, anger consumed me as I opened my door and stormed out of my bedroom. I can’t imagine that I w
My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Dropping The Final Bomb
“Honey, you should know my sister doesn’t care about how long she has known this Christopher before deciding to marry him,” I said to Oliver, my tone dripping with honey. “So, she only cares about taking revenge on me?” Oliver asked, meeting my gaze with a scowl sitting on his face. He looked very displeased as if Emily didn’t have any right to do as she pleased with her life. I smirked to myself and slowly nodded in response, as innocence contoured my face. I have to sow more discord why pretending to be oblivious to them. “I believe that’s what she is thinking about. Also, like I said, this Christopher Moore is from the famous prominent Moore family. Emily will definitely pick him as her partner as along as she feels he’s better than you.” As I made that striking statement of indirectly calling Oliver inferior, I laughed inwardly as I watched him gnash his teeth from the corner of my eyes. But then, I had to go into another coughing fit as my expression grew weary. Almost i
My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Dumb in Her Sight
Brenda’s POV.I have been sitting in my bedroom, impatiently waiting for Oliver to come find me since I heard of his arrival, but I have no idea of what has been keeping him downstairs. If I didn’t have to pretend to be totally helpless, I would have already found my way to the living room long ago. But as if Oliver could sense my displeasure, he knocked softly on my door and came in when I weakly approved. “Babe,” Oliver called me softly as he quickly rushed over to my side with concern laced in his brows. “How are you?” My eyes turned teary as I attempted to sit up on the bed, but he quickly assisted me saying, “You don’t have to struggle to do this while I’m here,” While I enjoy this, I can’t help but actually hope that his mind is still divided. It would be futile for him not to be concerned about Emily and her impending wedding after my efforts last night. I won’t even let it happen.“I have been waiting for your visit. What took you so long?” I asked weakly, allowing m
My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Outsmarting Oliver Jones
Emily’s POV.Work was a lot tasking today. I felt so exhausted that I could use a full body massage to relax my tensed nerves. But this is something only a phone call from Christopher would have solved. Sadly, he is pretty occupied today.As soon as I finished the last document I had to review for the day, I shut my computer and left the company, expecting to get home and get some rest only for me return home and see Oliver and his parents sitting in the living room chatting with Mum and Dad.Honestly, I had no idea the Jones’ would be in our house today even though Mrs. Jones had phoned Mum last night. Although I had heard Mum’s happy voice from the door as I walked a minute ago, it never occured to me that there were only a handful of people she invited home and had this kind of reaction with while chatting, and that the Jones should be the more appropriate family.My stomach churned, especially at the sight of Oliver. I don’t know why he still affected me so badly even though
My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Promoting Barbara Collins
Barbara was a bit uncomfortable with my out-of-the-blue question. Her lashes fluttered lightly as she looked towards her father for help, but he either didn’t see her since he wasn’t looking her way, or he pretended not to have seen her subtle gesture.Whichever one it was, I am still waiting for Barbara’s response because I won’t let her get away with this. Her actions are annoying and the sight of her is irritating.Seeing that she couldn’t get away with my interrogation she smiled sheepishly and returned her gaze back to me.“I took a half-day off from work today.”“Why?” I probed, leaning out of my seat with all manner of curiosity as a deafening silence hit the room. And I’m glad that everyone apart from Barbara knew better but to be silent.Barbara looked anywhere but at me as she answered my question. “I wasn’t feeling too well, but I’m all good now.”A scoff escaped my lips before I could gauge my reaction. Nothing infuriated me more than this woman’s nonchalance at my
My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Barbara and Her Father's Visit
THURSDAY. Christopher’s POV. Thursday was a busy day for me and I barely had the time to check on Emily. But to make up for it, I invited her to have lunch with me during lunch break. Emily looked a bit stunned by the offer as she set my food down. “I have my lunch already. Also, while it’s true that Stella won’t say anything since she knows we are together, we can’t disrupt the work ethic” Emily said to me with slightly furrowed brows. If this had been any other day, I would have let her escape unfortunately for her, I’m not in that mood, so I pinned my gaze to her and ask, “Are you sure you don’t want to have lunch with me, and would prefer eating with others?” I asked her that question, I rubbed my jaw subtly with my fingers and licked my lower lips without doing as much as blinking. How could Emily resist this temptation? I am not always proud, but some special occasions calls for it, like today. Emily let out a deep sigh and plopped herself on the couch.
My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon Tessa's Warning
Emily’s POV. “I see that you are happy and satisfied with your best friend,” Christopher said with his gaze on me as he crossed his leg over the other while sitting on a chair as Tessa and I walked into the room and shut the door. From the shameless attitude he displayed back in the dining room, I thought that I would see him on my bed by now, but it turned out that he could be a gentleman when he wanted. “Of course, she’s always proud of me,” Tessa jumped in before words could form in my mouth. “Are you jealous that you don’t have any good friend like they way we do?” “Who said I don’t have good friends? What do you take me for?” Christopher retorted. Meanwhile, Tessa pretended to think for a moment before saying, “Oh... I remember now. All your friends are living abroad, so you are back here alone and lonely.” Tessa wriggled her eyebrows playfully after finishing her remark and I bet she’s very proud of herself while Christopher remained unaffected with her teasing until th
