Giselle and Ezra stood at the foot of their mansion as they waved the adults goodbye.Luckily for them, no other questioned were asked after the whole situation was explained. Although, Ezra did get a little discredit, since the security he had put on Giselle had failed to do their jobs.Which actually baffled him.But then again, he didn’t have much time to dwell on such a thought, the more prominent matter at hand, was how someone had gotten their hands on the contract.Ezra clearly remembered locking it in a safe in his study. A safe to which only he knew the code.Watching the last of their parent’s car drive off, Ezra sighed and ran a hand through his oily hair.“What a night.” He mumbled out as Giselle placed her hand on his shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.“Yeah. But I’m glad it yielded a good result.” She smiled and turned around, headed for her room when she suddenly felt her body being lifted off the ground.A surprised yelp left her mouth, and on instinct, she wrapped
Occurrences like those happened less frequently but Giselle still found herself having to take care of trash every other time of the week.Well except for today. Today, the brunette had come home early, as Ezra had some board meetings to attend, and out of habit, she once again dismissed the cook and decided to make dinner herself.This time around, as she searched through the pantry for what to make, she noticed that it was much more stocked than before, which was to her favor.Smiling to herself, Giselle brought out several ingredients needed for a perfect croissant. She wasn’t only gifted in cooking, baking was one of her several gifted areas.Humming the soft tone of ‘Film out’ by BTS under her breath, the brunette began her baking process by tying on her apron, making sure that if things got messy, as per her previous experience, she’d have something on her body to take one third of the hit.“Okay, let’s begin.” She mused after her hair had been fixed into a messy updo bun.The p
By the end of their hot shower, Ezra was feeling better than before.With a little more consoling, which Giselle still wasn’t aware what about, delicious takeouts and a few hours of binge watching series while cuddled up on the couch, Ezra had just about forgotten the reason why his mood had suddenly deteriorated.By the time the sixth episode of their series had come to an end, Giselle was long asleep on his chest, the rest of her body folded into a comfortable position that allowed her enjoy the sleep.Noticing this, Ezra decided that six episodes was enough for him and he reached for the remote, turning the tv off before directing his attention towards the woman who was sound asleep on his chest.Watching her sleep for a while had become a habit of Ezra ever since they began sharing a room. He just couldn’t get enough of staring at her face, be it in the day, or during the night.Getting up halfway, Ezra scooped Giselle into his arms and began ascending the stairs towards their bed
If any other word could best describe the feeling of betrayal, then apparently Giselle knew no such words.The brunette spent the next hour or so feeling utterly devastated and trying to get a handle on her thought. She quickly learned that sitting on the cold floor, staring at nothing but the ground, and occasionally wiping tears, didn’t help her in that aspect.By the time she had calmed down, in a less teary state and clear headed, the sound of the main gate opening resounded just outside, and without pondering over her recent decision, the brunette got up and headed for her own side of the closet, grabbing one of Ezra’s black duffle bag as she headed that way.Briefly, she filled the bag with a little amount of dress and daily items that would last her for at least three days, and then she zipped it up, grabbed her phone, then raced for the room door.Staying here right now didn’t seem like something reasonable on her end. She wanted to fully calm down, have a clear and stable min
Ezra woke up from his sleep after what felt like hours. The light seepping in from a gap in his curtain indicated that he had only gotten some shut eye for three hours at max.Laying still, the brunette listened to the quietness of his room before turning to his side to stare at the empty spot.Knowing that Giselle was no longer in the room with him made the temperature drop dramatically, making the room feel icy cold, even if it wasn’t.It had only been roughly four hours since Giselle left the mansion, leaving his room doused in her velvet scent.And Ezra gladly remained behind in the room, dwelling comfortably in where was now his room alone.For the time being, he had hoped several time, right before reluctantly giving in to sleep.Sighing, Ezra ran his finger through his hair, closing his eyes in the process to reminisce on his decisions so far.A knock on his door sniped that memory lane short. Peeling his eyes open, he rolled them before answering.“What is it?”“Young master,
Fancy music blared loudly in the bar background. Several people dressed in different clothing styles to fit their comfort zone and draw just enough attention to themselves.In the furthest bar stool sat Giselle and Evelyn. Giselle trying to drink her head away, while Evelyn was just there for support.After dropping off her luggage in a hotel, the brunette couldn’t stand the fact that all she was doing was sitting still and think more about what she had just found out. It only dampened her heart more, leading to her mood deteriorating rapidly.So instead, she phone Evelyn, the only person she could freely hang around, and without explaining the details in full, the brunette invited her out for drinks, Evelyn, being the honesty beauty she is, couldn’t refuse.So here they were.Giselle downed yet another cup of whiskey and slammed the glass down on the counter, reaching the back of her palm up to wipe her mouth.Evelyn, who sat beside her, stretched out her hand to gently pat her frien
Giselle brought Evelyn into one final hug before letting her go, happily uttering words gratitude as she did so.“Thank you, really.”Evelyn nodded her head and reached up to ruffle Giselle’s hair. She was not pleased by the action and huffed, causing the noirette to chuckle.“What are friends for. Now get in there and fix things with your Fiancé. I’ll call the hotel and have them know that’ll I come get your things first thing in the morning.”Giselle nodded and watched as Evelyn got into her car, waving one last time before driving off the property.Allowing her line of sight linger on the driveway for a few seconds, Giselle sighed as she turned around, facing the lavish mansion in front.“It’s gonna be okay.” She uttered speeches of reassurance as she walked onto the porch, typing in the house code before stepping in and gently closing the door behind her.The clicking sound of the door lock echoed feebly through out the lower ground.Taking a moment more, Giselle paused, glancing
The nexk morning, as soon as Giselle peeled her eyes open, she felt the weight of Ezra’s arms wrapped around her body, holding her in a comfortable hug.Carefully, she turned her head around, just enough to catch a glimpse of the person behind her.A smile danced across her lips as Ezra’s face came into full view and she admired it, surprised as to how he looked much more beautiful that she could ever, while he was sleeping.It was somewhat off-putting.Casting those thoughts aside, Giselle decided it was about time she got out of bed and tried to gently pry Ezra’s arms off her body. This resulted in a dissatisfied grunt coming from the male, and his grip tightened around her body as he pulled her back.“Stay for a bit longer.” He rasped out.His early morning voice was doing wonders to Giselle’s ear, and mind. Her body to was no exception.The hotness of his breath made her shiver in his arms and he hummed in satisfaction.“Just a little more.”“No… no more bed time. Come on, I have
