“You okay?” He asked as he led her to one of the epicurean rooms in his parents house.“Yeah, I am.““You don't sound like it.” He stopped and closed the door gently.Cassie's mouth twitched in fear, “your mom is hell.”“My God! She warned you to stay away from me, didn't she?” His jaw clenched instantly. He imagined his mom's threatening voice in his head and made a quick move to open the door. “Nick please..” She grabbed his wrist and stared at him with pleading eyes. Letting him out with his chest rising up and down wasn't going to end well. She grazed her fingers slowly on his hardened chest, hoping to calm the fury rising beneath him.“That doesn't call for any trouble. She only threatened me.”“She has no fuckin' right to threaten you in my absence. I know my mom, she can be so mean.”“It's cool.” She mumbled, avoiding his eyes.“What exactly did she say?”“Nothing much.” She tried to wave it off.“Cassie? Tell me what she said.” His voice was cold and menacing.“That she will
Nick's father, Grey, woke up to a series of chatterings and arguments in his house. As soon as he stepped out of his room, his wife, Ava ran to him.“Darling, have you turned on the TV this morning? Look at what's in the media. Someone is setting my alpha son up.” He got the laptop she was holding immediately and scrolled through the pictures the media had of Nick. Evidence of all the company's funds he sent to his women were all over the space. A wild surge of pain pierced through his heart. For the past years he knew his son, he knew he had never used the company's funds for his own benefit.“Where is Nick?” He asked casually.“He left for an urgent meeting with the board of directors.”“Not my son! I trust him so well to believe this garbage. Take it away.”He returned back quickly to his room and sent a couple of emails to the board of directors.Nick was his complete heir to the company and fitted all round in all its affairs, except for his weakness for women which he believed
“I need to let you in on something.”“What's that?” Nick's brow furrowed on impulse.“I'm taking Cassie's properties to your penthouse. Lena is moving in with me.”“You afraid of fucking Lena in the same roof with Cassie?” Nick buckled up with laughter. “I hope she doesn't freak out.”“Only if you keep your dick down.” Marcus retorted. “Inform your guards.” He yelled.His body soon heated up from the thought of Cassie moving in to stay with him. On the contrary, he wasn't sure she would agree to it but even if she didn't, getting her an apartment of her own wasn't a big deal either. Whichever way, he knew he got her covered.His mom texted a few minutes later with an invitation for lunch the following day so they could talk things through, regarding the decision of the board members and he confirmed it immediately without needing to think about it.He noticed the sad expression of his workers, especially Miss Lance, his secretary. She had come to deliver his usual cup of coffee and so
As soon as they arrived at his penthouse, they had dinner immediately, took a warm shower and in no time, they were headed to Marcus’ place.He knocked twice before the door flew open.“Hi.. What a surprise!” Lena huffed, staring from Cassie to Nick and finally back to Cassie.“Good to see you Lena.” Cassie exclaimed. “Can we come in? Where's Marc?” Nick groaned.“Playing a video game. Of course, you two are highly welcome. Come in.”“Thank you.”“Lest I forget, you both look great together.” She grinned, trying to hide her full-blown surprise.”In a jiffy, Marcus walked in looking quite astonished. “Cass,” his voice was gentle as he went to her side. “I'm sorry I left you earlier on at the office. I didn't know how to tell you.” “Sshhh.." She opened her arms wide and gave him a warm hug. “Nick told me about it. Everything is cool now.” “Yeah, just that I wasn't expecting you two so quick.” She turned to Nick.“Cassie misplaced a piece of expensive jewelry her mom gave to her. Sh
His heart raced in response. She was hell bent on seducing him right from when she rubbed her body against him, making sure he felt her full boobs on his torso. And when he yanked her up, she imagined herself snuggled up on his body, exploring every inch of him.And then he carried her all the way down to his room, dropped her on the bed and planted a soft kiss on her lip. She wanted to kiss him back but he pulled away, promising to check on her later.What the fuck!She shuddered in a breath and whispered, “Don't leave me here alone.” She could swear the shock on his face was inevitable. She reached forward and cupped his chiseled jaw, pressing her lips gently against his. She moved down and planted warm kisses along his neckline, rubbing the stubble of beards that ran across his cheeks. She heard him suck in a breath from sheer need.“Cass if you keep doing this, I promise you my self-control will be gone.” His voice was hoarse and needy as he locked eyes with her.“You know how muc
Cassie woke up the next morning feeling a bit cold and when she rolled, she felt a bit of emptiness in the room. She looked around wondering where Nick could possibly be when a scent of mouthwatering coffee and freshly baked waffles wafted through her nostrils. She knew he was always an early riser but there were exceptions; it was the weekend. He had no right to leave her alone in bed. She grabbed a bunch of pillows, groaned and hugged them tightly, hating the fact that he wasn't still in bed with her for a morning cuddle.She tried to force herself back to sleep, burying her face consistently in the pillows. Almost immediately, she felt some movements in the room and tried as much as she could to remain still on the bed.He walked up to the bedside and pulled the pillows away, revealing her beautiful, pouted face.“Good morning sugar.” He dropped a lingering kiss on her lips.“Good morning,” she opened her eyes to meet his stormy grey eyes burning into her.“You slept great, didn't
Nick had informed his driver, Zach, to follow Cassie to the grocery store just in case anything went south. He obliged and practically teased her before she left. When she pulled out of the house, he climbed into a black Lamborghini and followed her, keeping a reasonable distance.He followed her as she drove across the highway almost approaching the grocery store. Since she was just a few kilometres away from the store, he decided to stop by his favourite Pie Express, to get some burgers for his lunch. When he got back into the car, he accelerated for a few minutes and then pulled over again when he saw her parked along the highway. He wondered what could have gone wrong and drove a bit past her, peeping into the car before halting and coming down.His heart beat raced faster when he saw her head bent over the steering wheel with what looked like blood stained on the light blue shirt she wore.“No..No..No..God please let it be my eyes.” He tried to compose himself and ran out of the
“How is she?” Nick asked the doctor as soon as he came out of the room.He huffed a sigh and began to speak.“She was shot twice on the shoulder blade. Seems the killer had aimed for her head or neck and she must have ducked, causing the bullets to go over there but luckily, we have been able to take it out. She's currently in a coma right now, due to the shock she had at the time of the incident. May I ask who the victim's husband is?”“Erm..She's my fianceé. Is there any other thing I should know?” The doctor stared at him for a while before continuing. “We ran a test on her, regarding the fact that she had lost a lot of blood and we found out that she is six weeks pregnant.”“Oh my God!” He sucked in a breath, fighting off the tears that formed in the corner of his eyes.“How's the baby? Can I see her for a minute.” “We ain't supposed to let anyone—”“I need to see her, please.”Seeing how broken he was, he nodded and urged him into the room.“Just a few minutes.” He added.Nick
“Dreams without goals are just dreams. And ultimately, they fuel disappointment.” ~Denzel Washington~5 years later…“Let's welcome the CEO of Peytonill Empire, the wife of the famous billionaire we have here with us, who happens to be the CEO of GGC. We would like to host her alongside her husband in our hotseat today.” A resounding round of applause followed the statement as Cassie stepped out before the crowd with a large smile beaming across her face. Blinding camera lights flashed steadily on her as the cameraman took several pictures of her. She waved politely and was treated to the red carpet to meet the host who had reserved a special seat for her, next to that of her husband, across the table.“Welcome once again Mr and Mrs Nicholas Grey, we are pleased to have you in our midst.” The host continued.“It's our pleasure.” They said in unison and smiled at each other.Maya, the host smiled before throwing out some questions to them.“So tell me Mrs. Grey, how is it possible that
The rooftop was a secluded area with soft, soothing music echoing in the background. There were two chairs and a small table with spherical shaped red lights decorating the place. Nick slid his arm around her waist as they walked to the table.“Oh my God! This is really beautiful, you know how I love it.” She whined as they sat on the chair.“I had to put up my best to ensure there was no fault.” He smirked. “Have a drink.”He poured her a glassful of her favourite red wine, clinked glasses with her as they drank up.“This tastes really good.” She licked the wine from her lips.“You taste even better.” He set the glass down and ogled at her.“You're so flirty.” She giggled. “I can't believe we're over all of this.”“You made this right, Cass. I would never have bothered about stepping down for Marc as long as we were fine. I'm sorry you got yourself injured in the process but in the end, it's just a memory.”“Yeah, I don't mind going through hell for the man I love.” She gave him a s
He yanked her up immediately and she wrapped her legs around him.“Let's go finish up what we started.” He shut the door and moved to the bedroom.“My God! You're already so hard.” She felt him bulging in his pants and pressed her mouth on his in a sizzling kiss.“You'd never know how much I missed you.” His tongue found its way into her mouth as he deepened the kiss. As soon as he laid her down on the bed, his phone started ringing and he slid it away.“This can definitely wait.” He whispered and leaned in to kiss her again.His phone began ringing the second time and he was forced to pull away.“So much for ruining the moment.” He cursed himself for it. “Who is it?” She asked softly.“It's Chloe.” He snapped. “You need to call her now.”“No, you pick up. I always have a facetime with Chloe. She might spot my shoulder sling.”“What am I gonna say? You haven't returned her calls since then, she could be suspicious.” He tried to reason with her. “I will pull the blanket over you.”“Ok
“Babe it's here.” Cassie shouted hearing the knock on the door.“I'm here.” He came out, wearing a new pair of sweatpants and brushed lightly on his hair. “Do I look good?” He asked when he noticed her eyes on him.“You always look good.”“First time you're opening up about my looks.” He smiled and stepped into the private elevator that led downstairs.He got the package and ambled back to the room. He had ordered some tampons along with it. She got it and gazed at it.“Tampons? For?” “Just in case.”She laughed and took out the little device. “I'm just supposed to pee on it right?”“Sure.” “Okay, let's get this done already.” He helped her up on her feet and walked her to the bathroom.When she was done, they strolled to the balcony close to the room, dropping the kit on the large round table.“Wanna sit?” He asked, feeling concerned.“Nah, I think I'm getting better. The fever is gone.”He wrapped his arms around her from behind, pulling her to himself.“I guess my therapy helped
“Mr. Nicholas Grey,” The doctor exclaimed as he stepped into the hospital premises.“Doctor, how is it going?”“Great. I was informed you wanted her to be discharged soon?”“If it doesn't pose any effect on her then yes. It's been a week and some days already.”“We're working on it. She seems very much better now. Your fiancée has some special guests and I felt I should draw your attention to it.”“Who are they?”“Go see for yourself.” He smirked. Nick pursed his lips, looking baffled as he hurried to the room Cassie was. He pushed the door slowly open and peeped inside the room. The shock on his face was replaced with a sudden smile spreading across his face.This has to be the best thing he has stumbled upon! His parents had come to see Cassie. His mom sat beside her on the bed holding her hands while his dad was just relaxed on the chair, concurring to whatever they were discussing. They didn't seem to have noticed him and appeared very engrossed in whatever stuff they were talkin
After their little make out session, he kept on rubbing her back and lulling her to sleep, until he heard her soft snores. He uttered a sigh and closed his eyes. For the past days he hadn't been fortunate enough to sleep too, but having her in his arms had a way of calming him. He tried to stay up a bit just in case she needed anything but his eyes were heavy and droopy. Slowly, he drifted off but woke up about a few minutes later to ensure she was okay and wasn't hurting in any way. Despite his efforts to stay awake, he fell into a deep sleep again that obviously didn't last for long.“Lena, Don't!!!” He heard Cassie scream and tremble violently on top of him.“Baby, wake up.” His voice was raspy from his own lack of sleep. Her eyes flew open and she let out some panic breaths, clenching her fist to stop herself from trembling.“It's okay..It's okay now.” He smoothed out her hair, trying his best to soothe her. “It's just a nightmare.” He kissed her forehead and continued stroking he
“Oh my God, you're awake?” He sprang up and attempted to give her a hug but realizing the state she was in, he pulled back instantly.“Baby..I'm glad you're awake.” He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead lightly.“Why have you been crying?” She stared at his flushed face and reddened eyes. Where are we?”“We are.. We are in the hospital.” He stuttered.“Why? What am I doing here?” She tried to sit up but the pains on her shoulder came back piercing causing her to scream.“Hey, I'm sorry. Just lay back sweetheart, I promise you that you'll be fine.”“What is going on?” She struggled to speak but her voice came out more as a whisper.“We're just spending some time together.” He tried to fake a smile but it disappeared as soon as he saw the look on her face. “Fuck! I'm sorry. You passed out.”“For..how..long?” “It doesn't matter how long baby, what matters now is that you're awake.”“How are you feeling?”“Weak and tired. Can I..have.. a glass..of water.. please? I'm damn thirsty.”
Out of shock, he pulled the trigger again and it left a clicking sound behind, signifying there were no bullets in the pistol. Nick blinked rapidly, trying to clear the fog of disbelief that clouded his vision. “Seems you're running out of luck.” He took out his phone and called the cops, fixing his gaze intently on him. “Don't you fucking do that.” “Too late. We're gonna get your ass locked up in a bit.” Marcus surged forward and knocked his knee down, sending fists flying towards his face but he was quick enough to duck each of his blows. Nick rolled him over and strangled him, slowly taking the life out of him. “I'd fucking kill you right now but you deserve to rot in jail.” He released him as he heard the siren of the police. “No one is gonna believe you.” He choked, gasping for air. “Let's see how this plays out.” He smirked. Soon, footsteps surrounded the whole house as the cops barged into the room. “Take him away.” The cop shrieked and in a jiffy, Marcus was handcuffe
Nick fumbled with the keys in his hand as he stared at the door in front of him. Despite the fact that he had rushed out of the house, he knew he didn't leave the front door hanging. He fell under suspicion of burglary and took out his phone, setting it on the recorder . As he strolled further into the hallway, the lights went off, increasing his anxiety.He made to turn on the lights when a hand grabbed his neck from behind.“Don't you dare touch me.” He tried to fight back instantly but felt the cold metal of a gun pressed against the side of his head as he was being led to one of his rooms.“Sit!” The voice ordered, standing behind him.“Marcus?” He called out in shock, recognising his voice.“Don't fucking call that name.” A resounding slap stung his cheek and he gasped, unable to move because he had his hands tied behind the chair.“What the fuck do you think you're doing!” Nick yelled menacingly as he shot daggers at him in the dimly lit room.“Trying to put your shits right!”
