Patrick Ray wheeled his bag down the stairs and into the lobby with Stella in tow.They kissed their daughter goodbye and Ella promised them she would be back in three weeks.She knew she needed to complete the year at Palm beach and get her life in order. Her father's money had gotten her a lot of privileges but she wanted to be her own person."By the way Ella. I forgot to tell you.""Tell me what?" Ella asked her father."That they short story that you wrote. The one I read to you last night? It's been published in the most popular short story book that will be released in a month's time. They have asked me if I could get you to write another piece." Patrick said excitedly."Dad. You are lying. Me? A famous author? Dad. Eeeeek. I'm so happy. I feel like I might explode." Ella shrieked." You have the talent Ella. Use it. Maybe this is your calling. A famous author, a journalist, the sky is the limit." Patrick said as he kissed his daughters forehead.Stella hugged Ella tightly." My
Ella refused to think about this now. "Ella. You need to stop this in it's tracks now." Annie insisted."Who? Bobby as the note says or Jason as you suspect?" Ella asked. " I have so much work to complete. I don't have the time for this.""Bobby. I don't know how he got this note in here but we need to solve it." Annie knew that she could not speak a word against Jason Duke. Ella would become defensive. She would just have to keep her suspicions to herself and investigate him on the down low."Annie. I don't care what you do but I think that him living in a jail cell is punishment." Ella shrugged and continued sorting documents." If you are done. Help me sort this out."" Your father pays me to make sure you are alright and that is what I am going to do. No because it is my job, but because I have watched you all your life. You are too soft. You may have changed your look and your name, but inside, you are still that same naive girl. And right now Bobby is sending you these notes to
"Oh my gosh." Ella squeezed loudly.In a matter of thirty seconds, Annie was at her door.She looked at officer Duke in his uniform, holding the handles of the food trolley."Sorry. Annie. I didn't mean to alert you. I just didn't expect Jason to be here ." Ella apologized."Are you going to let me in?" Jason asked huskily.Ella moved aside and let him in."I have brought you your favourite meal. Chicken a la king noodles." Jason opened the lid." That looks delicious but it's not my favourite. It used to be......" Ella was about to say Bobby's but then she realised she was no longer Summer and that might raise suspicion."It used to be?" Jason pressed on."Yeah. It used to he my dad's favourite dish until he tasted my super buttery butter chicken with naan. Now he is hooked on that." Ella lied. She closed the door because Annie was looking at Jason suspiciously."Shall we eat?" Ella asked. " I am starving. This would literally be the first meal of the day." Ella changed the subject
The next morning Ella woke up early. She knew she had a full day of interviews.Dressing in her best business suit, she tied her hair up in a high ponytail and out on a pair of boots.Ella entered the lobby and looked at all the candidates who looked nervous.Some where having joyous banter with eachother but others kept to themselves.She wished she could hire all of them but there were more than a hundred candidates.She decided she would narrow them down.She walked into the office and took a seat at the now neat desk.She picked up the phone on the desk and called Annie who entered the room five minutes later."Annie. Today I need you to sit in with me on all the interviews. I want to narrow them down to some. I have thirty general positions for the hotel and five for my boutique. There are one hundred or more candidates. If I get a few more good people than the thirty five that I actually need. I will find positions based on their abilities and qualifications." Ella said as she b
Ella stopped in her tracks. Her leg was still in the air when she turned and looked at the handsome figure in the doorway. He had a bottle of wine and roses.Ella felt her cheeks get hot."I just came to apologize for my behaviour." Jason said , holding out the roses to her.Ella blushed and took the roses, smelling it's sweet scent."You look good in a business suit." Jason flattered her and she just couldn't stop smiling." Wana get some glasses?" Jason asked her and she picked up the phone and made a call." I was actually going to have dinner now in the dining hall. Would you like to join me after we have a glass of wine?" Ella asked." I would love to. I'm also starving. I just got off duty and I just had to see you. Did you get my roses from the morning?" Jason smiled."Yes. Thank you." Ella didn't want to think about this mornings drama. She just couldn't imagine, Jason to be a man of such evil doings."Ella." Annie called but didn't complete her sentence. She looked like she w
He pulled off her shirt and kissed her neck as she moaned in his ear."Can I?" He asked and Annie moaned loudly.He buried his face in her breasts as his hands slid down her shorts and lace panties.His fingers found her swollen bud and he started to move his fingers in a circular motion.Annie could not help herself and spread her legs wider, inviting him in.He bit her nipples hard and she moaned in pleasure.She rubbed her hands on his back and started to erupt with an orgasm that made her whole body jerk.He placed his thumb inside her while he continued to rub her vigorously as she rode his thumb.He grabbed her hair with his free hand and pulled her up for a kiss.She began to unbutton his shirt and rub her hands on his hairy chest.She was in an ecstacy moment and did not want it to end.He took of his pants and she wrapped her legs around him as he entered her.A moan escaped his lips as he began to thrust into her.She arched her body up, meeting each thrust.After a while, h
Ella recognised the woman that had stepped forward."Miss Woods. Thank you for writing my story. When the crowd started to read the story, I could not help but stop cleaning the windows and listen. You have made my story so beautiful. So inspirational. For so long we sat in darkness, fearing the light of society but you changed that." The woman spoke. " You have changed our lives forever. You have offered us jobs. You are a good person , Miss Woods."Ella remembered that was her former self."I am so sorry guys, there is a misprint. That is my sister, Summer Ray. That is her work." Ella corrected them."It says Ella Woods." Helen said loudly. " Ella , you are too modest. I am sure your sister wouldn't mind if you stole her thunder." "My sister is dead." Ella snapped." Summer Ray is dead. She is the writer."The room fell silent.The little old lady stepped forward and touched Ella's chest. " Summer Ray lives in here."A tear slid down Ella's cheek.Summer was still inside her but she
She used other woman to get Ella out of her head but relationships never lasted because they weren't Ella!"Are you f***ing kidding me?" Ella asked.A cynical smile tugged at the corners of Annie's lips."Annie. Is this a joke? Are you swinging into woman? If you are, I am not. I like boys. I have a boyfriend." Ella said proudly.Annie stared at her silently for a while. She was trying to divert Ella's attention for a while so that she could get her to calm down." Ella. You are so special. I really like you." Annie smirked. Her eyes were full of laughter that just wanted to erupt out of her."Annie. Quit the games. You are making this nonsense up." Ella barked."Oh. But I'm not. I like girls. Girls with red hair. Short petite girls. Pretty girls. Tall girls. Just girls. And you are a girl!" Annie winked."So you are telling me that you fancy me." Ella questioned."Yes." Annie nodded."In a love love kind of way or a lusting kind of way." Ella took a seat. She was feeling a little li
