Vanessa

The whole house goes silent. No one is making a move. It's like God hit the pause button on the Earth's remote. Not even the flowers are moving as the breeze stops.

Everyone's eyes are on us. On me. What should I say to them? I can hear the wheels turning in their heads. The questions are being asked loudly but without a sound. I look at my mother's face and it's like she's waiting for me to deny it and say that he's probably high on something. I also believe he's high on something because we already had an agreement on when to break the news to them. He didn't even let me prepare for that.

“ Since you all have nothing to say, we'll take our leave." He doesn't give me a chance to talk or clarify anything with anyone before pulling me along with him into the house.

“ Let go of me, sir!"

“ Do not call me sir in public. We're presumed to be getting married soon."

“ Well then let go of me immediately!" I say as I keep struggling to get out of his grip.

He keeps pulling me until we

    VanessaThe walk back downstairs happens too quickly for my liking. It usually takes forever to go around the house so why does the house feel too small? I'm trying to come up with the best words to say and there's nothing. I know they would ask why I didn't tell them all this while and I would have to come up with something since this moron just decided to throw the original plan away. Why did he ask for me to keep it a secret for a month if his mouth was going to get loose after two weeks? This rivalry with Stephan is just stupid. We get closer to the kitchen and I still have nothing.“I'm going to leave you here. My friends are in my study. I'm going to go see them."He doesn't wait for me to answer before he's striding away. I just want to run after him and give him a heavy tap on the forehead. Shit! Now I have to face them all on my own. My head is spinning. I hate confrontations but I have to face this one. Or I could just walk quietly to my room and face them another day. I'm a

    VanessaThis time I don't leave anything out when I tell Tianna the whole truth starting when Dimitri brought up the deal to when I signed up till what happened earlier. I even told her about his warning when I threatened not to follow his order“ Wow...this is a lot to take in," Tianna says“It is. I'm still not sure I did the right thing signing those papers. And his behavior lately is starting to make me regret it all."“ You didn't do the right thing signing the papers but it has already been done. We just have to find a way to make sure that you at least get some sort of joy and do not have a heavy heart all the time. He may be willing to pay for your heart surgery but the weight of sadness and despair will kill the best heart very quickly."I do not regret telling Tianna everything even though Dimitri warned against it. He already broke part of the deal when he threw me under the bus like that including the fact that he wants to get me away from my family this fast. I am practic

  • My boss wants me    The right dress

    Vanessa The day appears to be very normal. The musky and fresh scent from the rain that fell the night before, still lingers in the air. It's a bit chilly and wet and the pleasant smell of petrichor helps to lighten up my mood. I once heard that when it rains, plants release into the atmosphere oils that are formed in the dry season. I guess those plants secretly possess calming gases because I still do not understand why I still have it together while freaking out on the inside. This is another level of control because I am supposed to be getting married in less than five days. Honestly, this is the kind of day that I'd prefer to sit back, with a cup of hot chocolate and glorify God for his very impressive artwork. Rather I'm out, shopping for wedding rings with my very unexcited groom. He looks very bored and bothered at the same time. He has this look that says that he wants to get rid of everything that is beneath him, me included. Wow I'm sure everyone can feel how ecstatic he i

    Dimitri“ I thought you would be out for much longer." Hayden, one of my employees tells me as soon as I enter.“ Well, I am here now. Do you have a problem with that?" I reply looking at him. He is one of my best employee and also a friend but not as close as the rest of the guys and I do know that my tone right now has him scared a bit but he has to deal with it. I am very pissed at the moment and his feelings is the last thing that should matter to anyone even him.“ There is no need to sound so scary." Brian says as he struts in like he owns the place. “ Hayden can you please give us some privacy?" Hayden does not bother to answer and leaves.“I heard what happened earlier today. What the hell is happening? How the hell were our people outsmarted that they lost the shipment?"I chug down a glass of Brandy before responding “ How the hell do you expect me to know?" I am still trying to think. “This is not just about outsmarting because if it was, it wouldn't be this easy to get thr

    Vanessa“The day is finally here sweetheart. I can't believe you're finally getting married." My mom say in a voice that is caught up between laughter and tears.I can't believe the day has finally come. I feel like I'm going to drown.“Yes mom. I can't believe I'm going to be married in a few hours." No. I really cannot believe it. I don't know what to feel right now but anxious is the most dominating of all the feelings coming up.I definitely did not make the right decision agreeing to this deal and I still have to live with it so I might as well suck it up and move one. The thing is, am I prepared for the five years long worth of unhappiness?“You must be so thrilled marrying the love of your life. I was..." She continues through the tears. “ I remember when your father asked me to marry him. We had nothing at the time, but we also had everything. We had each other which was more than enough for us both. We just knew we had to be with each other. I was at a bad place in my life ha

    DimitriWe better finish this up so that I can leave for my wedding. I am getting pissed with every passing second.“ Are you sure it was not a bad idea to come here first on the morning of your wedding?" Carter says in my ear. “ I know you want to prove that you do not really care for her but this is extreme. I'm sure everyone is worried about your whereabout"“ If you are really scared that you cannot handle things here then you can say so. I will feel disappointed but I will also understand that seeing blood for as long as you have has finally taken its toll on you."He dismisses what I say “I am just worried about you. You could have let me do this on my own. You should know that I can handle things by now."“Which is exactly why I didn't want you to come here alone. Business is business regardless of my personal life. And I am not sure of how you will handle things. You both cannot stand each other and I don't trust you not to blow off his head and start a war."“I am not that im

  • My boss wants me    Wedding Vow

    VanessaIt is true what is said about marriages being one of the few events in life to reach out to the depths of our emotions. To touch the tiniest bits of our hearts we never even knew existed.I take another look at my reflection in the large mirror and I cannot recognize the person in it. Everything about me seems to be very different from what I am used to.The dress is a floor length alabaster gown with a train that does not extend too far. It is an A-line silhouette, light dress with lacy straps and bead embellishments on the upper side of it with a v-neckline that is moderate and does not make me look like a prostitute. I am so sure that the designer of this dress took more than enough time to create this elegant masterpiece and Tianna was right, I would have done the bridal universe a great injustice if I did not try to look my best in this dress.I take a look at what Diana has done on my face and I cannot help but admire the person inside the mirror with the minimal make-up

  • My boss wants me    Married

    VanessaIs this what it feels like to be married? Does everyone who gets married immediately start to feel conscious. Conscious of the guests. Conscious of if they will find out the truth behind this relationship. Conscious of the man beside me, whose presence, I can't seem to ignore. His presence is all too consuming that for the most time, I feel like I'm only in his presence. Forgetting the other guests present.“You are very beautiful. I can see why boss wanted to tie you down real quick. He didn't want to give anyone a chance to snatch you away." I turn around and I come face to face with a very handsome man. Beautiful even. He is really tall. But not as tall as Dimitri. His eyes are like blue stones that go perfectly with his blonde hair. He also has a charming smile that enhances his beauty.“You're very pretty." I blurt out before I can control myself and cover my mouth with my palm as if that can stop the words from reaching his ears. He gives me an even wider smile and I f

  • My boss wants me    A dream

    Dimitri I'm walking around the house to see if there is anyone. I keep searching for her but she does not seem to turn up anywhere. “That's odd". I was told that she was waiting for me. That she kept looking out the window to see if I had arrived. That after looking out the window, she would go back to my room to check and confirm if she had missed my arrival and now that I am here I cannot seem to find her. “Where did she go?" I ask the house. For a moment, I could hear my voice echo through the walls. I look around to see if there is any other person around and there is no one. The house has the best and most magnificent kind of furnishing. The type that visitors never fail to praise and gush about. The type that she put in all her time and energy to perfect but they seem to be the only things taking up the space. It seems like the house was built and decorated only for furniture. It's sad but it is what I am used to. I walk into her room and look around everywhere but she is stil

  • My boss wants me    Drugged

    Dimitri I hear the door open and Francesca walks right in. “I had a room prepared for you. I hope you do not have any plans to go back tonight." “Yes, son. You should not be thinking of leaving tonight. We don't know how long before they attack again. We cannot risk anything." He backs her up but I am not having any of it. “I am not going to hide from anyone or anything. If I am to be attacked again the moment I leave then so be it. I have no plan of giving anyone access to my brain to dictate my movement." They plan to get me paranoid. To get me scared that I do not trust anything around me. I'll be damned if I give them that pleasure. It would be better if they kill me right away. “You are not being reasonable Dimitri. You should at least let things settle for the night and move out tomorrow." She suggests. Francesca does not just care for anyone like that. She certainly has an ulterior motive for her to insist on this. “Dimitri try to be reasonable. Your life right now is more

  • My boss wants me    Who?

    Dimitri As soon as I walk in through the doors for the second time this night, I am immediately engulfed in a hug. Francesca rushes to me quickly and traps me in a hug which I immediately pull away from. I do not want her touching me. Not even a near-death experience is enough to make me tolerate her touch. She does not seem to get the message though as she reaches and holds my face. “I am glad you are okay. I was so worried about you." She drawls. “There is no need for that," I answer monotonously. “I am so relieved that nothing happened to you. Not a scratch on you." She tries to sound concerned but it sounds differently in my ears. I know she would not order an attack on me but I do know that it is a lie when she said she's relieved that there is no scratch on me especially not with the news I gave her a while ago. She might not want me dead but she would appreciate a broken bone or two. I do not respond to that. I walk in the direction of her father's study and she follows suit

  • My boss wants me    Brief chapter (More threats)

    UNKNOWN POV I watched him leave the house and get into the car. I watched him drive off and I notice him talking to someone in the car while driving so I send them to attack. He thought his godfather will deliver him from my hands. He thinks all of this plan just happened to come around today which is why he thinks he can beat me. I feel sorry for his wife though. She got married to a man who is already halfway in the grave. I am not ready to kill him yet. I want him paranoid. To live I great fear. He is very stubborn just like his father so it will be very interesting to watch him unravel. Piece by piece I will tear him apart until there is nothing left after which I will grant him his heart's desire of death. The bastard thinks anyone can find me. I am everywhere he is and nowhere at the same time. It would be difficult to find his own shadow. He might continue to search but he will never find me. Not until I am ready to deliver the final blow. I watch the two bikers intercept h

  • My boss wants me    A warning

    Dimitri The sound of her voice pierces through the house. It would not be nice to argue with someone like her as he 'Mr voice' might shatter everything. “Ah! I did not tell you earlier. Dimitri just got married and he is here on a honeymoon with his wife." He excitedly breaks his need for her. “What? That's not true is it?" She asks with hope on her face like she is waiting for me to deny it. “It is true and they are coming over for dinner this weekend." He adds. “I wasn't asking you, Dad. I want him to speak for himself." She does not fail to hide how disrespectful she is to anyone. It isn't something I am not used to. “I am married and I have to get back to my wife soon," I reply only because her father is here and he probably thinks we are still on good terms. No man wants anyone to disrespect his daughter especially not in front of him. “Why didn't you invite us?" Thank God she is sensible enough to hide part of her feelings. “Stop trying to drill the man. He had to rush it

  • My boss wants me    Dimitri

    Dimitri “Hello Francesca," I say and try to escape her embrace but she does not let go. This is the one thing I did not prepare my mind to face but I am not surprised. I was told that she moved away from her father's home. I guess someone told her I was coming around tonight. “Why did it take you so long to come here? Have you been avoiding me? Do not lie to me. I know you too well." I force her hands away from my waist. This time, she does not resist. She moves from behind to the front of me, coming in line with my vision. She is clad in a red dress with a deep neckline, revealing her cleavage. Vanessa would never wear something like this. It is so obvious what she is trying to do so I let my eyes rest on her breasts for a little longer. She got ves off a very wide smile of satisfaction thinking she has me buying whatever it is she is trying to sell to me. “I do not avoid anyone. You only get to see me when I want you to." I state carefully with no hope that she will understand.

  • My boss wants me    The previous night

    Dimitri The look in her eyes stayed with me for the rest of the night. I know that I am hurting her. Heck, it was so vivid on her face that even a blind person will notice but I cannot put everything on hold because of her or anyone. Life has to move on and whether I like it or not, I have issues that I need to see the end of. For myself and everyone. My phone's ringtone shakes me out of my thoughts. I look at the screen and it is Trent. I am shocked that he has the time to call me because he seems distracted lately. I immediately get into my car and answer the call. “Hello, lover boy. Hope you are having a lot of fun?" Unlike the other immature adult, this one's jokes seem to make a little bit more sense. “Fun is for the jobless. What do you need?" I go straight to the point. “Hey, Hey! Take it easy there. Did I pull you away from the embrace of your true love? You will have to pardon me for that my Lord." I realized that I spoke too soon when I called him sensible. He is only th

  • My boss wants me    Is this Jealousy

    Vanessa “Hello, Vanessa." I hear Stephan's voice come in through the speaker. His voice is one that I can never mistaken for any other person. It has not been that long but it has been a while since I last heard him speak. Not that I still have a crush on him but I do enjoy the sound of him speaking. “Hello Mr. Stephan," I respond “Stephan remember? He tells disapproving of how I refer to him. “Yes, Stephan. How are you doing?" I enquire. “I am doing well enough. How is married life and how is my brother treating you? “He treats me good enough and I am still adjusting to being married." I lie. I want to scream something different at the top of my lungs. He is not treating me like a wife should be treated. The truth is that he made me sign papers so that I do not reveal the fact that he cannot use the normal approach to find a wife. He had to pay a lot of money. And me, being the gold digger, had to be the one to collect the money and sell herself off and now it is dawning on me
