She moved to the couch and slumped on it.“Has anyone come sniffing around here? I scent a familiar cologne.” Marcus inquired as soon as he walked in.The air suddenly left the room.Cassie's heart rate was visibly rising again. She recalled the verbal sally that occurred between them, then the kiss and watching him leave heartbroken. She rolled her eyes, trying to act normal.“No one.” She lied, keeping a straight face. “So where did you go?” She switched the topic immediately.“I took a walk, planning on a date for us tonight, you know, to clear the air since you wanted a lil space.”“That's very thoughtful of you.” She exclaimed.“Yeah, let me prepare something real quick to ease your tension. Then we get ready for tonight. Okay?” Cassie sat still on the couch, staring into the thin air.“Cass?” He patted her shoulder.“Yeah, I.. I heard you.” She cautioned.“What are you thinking of?” “N-nothing.. Just surprised you would come up with such a great idea.” She stuttered, partly ann
One Night of Pure Lust Chapter Forty Five - Comforting Marcus
Cassie cringed as soon as the words left his lips. She trailed after him and saw him seated on the floor in the living room with a hand fisted in his hair. Her eyes were filled with pity as she crouched down next to him, observing how hard he tried to hold back the tears from her. She was ready to do anything to numb his pain and self loathing.“I'm so sorry for all the pains you've been through.” She enclosed him with her arms.“Why the heck would he do that to me? He groaned. “Just because he couldn't fvcking get a woman he loved? Or because he couldn't satisfy his sexual needs with the other women he bedded every night?”“I thought as much.” She said softly. “You need to simmer down okay? Maybe it wasn't all deliberate. Remember when he said she seduced him.”“And you fucking fell for that?”“Jeez.. I didn't say I did.” She blurted out.“Technically, you did. I'm pretty sure that bastard was trying to cover up for himself in your presence. He knew how much I loved her to have resis

Marcus felt a twinge of hope and smiled.“How was your relationship with Nick like? Was it defined or just..“I guess we were just obsessed about each other. Nothing more, nothing less.” She stared down at the way their legs were entwined around each other.“Would you choose him over me?” His next question came unannounced.“Seriously?” Cassie's jaw dropped as soon as the words left his lips.“No kidding.” He chimed.“You're far better than him. It hits differently when you have someone you can trust and share things with.”Marcus felt an uptick in confidence as he looked into her eyes.“That's quite a relief.” He shrugged.“You still working at Tylers? I got a memo from him some days ago.”“Nah, I resigned.”“You resigned?”“I'm sorry but yeah, I had to.”“Not a bad idea. I'm willing to take care of you. Have some rest and put yourself together. You'd make a perfect wife.”“A wife?” She gasped. “I've never been more flattered.”“I'm not trying to impress you, I'm just stating simple f

The bright rays of light that shone in the room made Cassie open her eyes reluctantly. Feeling a bit dizzy, she closed them again as she felt her head almost splitting into two. What happened last night? Was she drunk? She jerked up immediately as soon as she heard Marcus’ voice.“Good morning sunshine.” He smiled lovingly.“Is it morning already?” She stifled a yawn and sat up, peering at Marcus who was dressed in a bathrobe.“It's past 6am, I'm sorry you slept late.”“l did?” She raised a questioning brow.“He turned to her and walked up to the bedside, leaning close to her.“Yeah. And I guess you were a bit tipsy from yesterday's..“I don't drink.” Cassie cut in suddenly.“Yes, you don't.” He snapped.“So? Why am I feeling light headed? Did you drug me or something?”“You don't remember anything that happened yesterday?”She nodded apprehensively, palming her forehead.Marcus clenched his jaw in anger. He was fuming inside. How could she possibly forget everything that happened the
One Night of Pure Lust Chapter Forty Eight- Clearing The Air
The only thing she wished was for the ground to open up and swallow her. But it wasn't the time to act like a coward before him, it would only make her vulnerable. Knowing she wasn't ready to face him that moment, she walked past him with so much confidence in the little space he had created without saying a word.Oh Cassie, you're such a coward! Her subconscious reminded her.She could feel him walking her out with his blazing eyes and tried as much as she could to be more careful with every step she took.She reached her office and stepped in, locking the door behind her. All she needed right now was her privacy and the worst thing was someone invading it. She slumped into one of the executive chairs, breathing out like someone who had lost a marathon. Her eyes gradually studied the fresh look of the office. Everything had changed in a space of two months. The large mahogany desk had few items on it, an indication that no one has been working there for a while. A new black compute

“You sent for me.” Cassie barged into Grey's office, watching him like a creeper.He was seated in a swivel chair facing the window. As he heard her voice, he rotated the chair towards her, looking a bit startled to find her standing by the door. His eyes widened as he took in her appearance.“You broke my rules. No one barges into my office that way.“Some rules are meant to be broken.” “Not when my business is involved.” He stood up from the chair and took some steps forward. “Why did you come? I least expected to see you here.” “We had a deal, didn't we?”“Is that what this is about?” He chortled. “I can make it easy for you. If you're here for the raise then quit it, I will give you my credit card to take whatever amount you need.”“Do l look like a bloody beggar to you? Just because I'm cash trapped doesn't mean I'm ready to adhere to every gibberish you spill out. I work for my money, okay?”“I could save you the stress.” He smirked, the sarcasm clearly on her.“Are we done he

Hot tears rolled down her cheeks as she tried to hold it back.“For how long has this been going on?” “About a month now.” Chloe muttered.“Is it getting really serious? Can I see the doctor's report.”“A bit. The doctor's report says she is diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia. We've spent all we had on ATRA and it's not really effective. Now, the bottom line is, we need some money for the initial chemotherapy.”“How much are we considering here?”“About two hundred thousand dollars.”“Two hundred what? Damn it Chloe!” She gritted her teeth. “Where do we get such an amount of money from? I barely earn upto a thousand dollars in five months.”“I know sis.” She shrieked with an idea. “Uhm, I have an idea.”“What's that?” Cassie replied eagerly.“I was hoping you could ask your boss but since you said you two broke up, you could transfer the money from the company's account under his name, then pay back later.”“You're out of your mind! How dare you come up with such an unscrupu
One Night of Pure Lust Chapter Fifty One- Just A Phone Call
After being glued to the laptop screen for some hours, she decided to take a break. That was how it was for her when there were no meetings for the day. As soon as her gaze met the bouquet on her desk again, she thought about Marcus. He hadn't come to see her yet, or maybe he wasn't even coming after their little fight in the morning. He had disposed off some of her properties, given to her by her late dad without her consent and when she tried to tell him how valuable they were despite them looking old, he flared up. Keeping malice wasn't her thing. She searched for her phone to call him, hoping to thank him for the flowers thereafter.“How's your lazy ass coping with work today?”“Much better than how your diligent ass is.” “Coming down for lunch? You know we missed breakfast.”“Not hungry.” He replied curtly.“Really? No issues then, I called to say thank you for the flowers. They are lovely.”“What flowers are you talking about?”Her voice went silent over the phone.“Cass?”“Ohh

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
One Night of Pure Lust Chapter Seventy- Nightmares
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!”
