Abigail had never eaten so much in her life.
“Anything else, signora?“ he asked mischievously but affectionately. In reply, she just waved her hand.
“Hunter! If I would keep eating at this speed then I am afraid I won’t fit in that big door frame of your office. You might have to ask for heavy machinery … you know? Like cranes? To take me out of here.”
He chuckled unable to decide whether he enjoyed her friendly banter more or the sound of his name from her mouth. But that was forbidden territory, he guessed.
She had been calling him Henry, even after the discovery that the said name did not belong to him. Just when he was bringing her to his office she called her Henry Cavil, the movie star.
“Anything for you, sugar!” She didn’t know why his face suddenly lit up but she felt relaxed in someone’s company after a very long time.
“I think … I shou
“Morning coffee meeting.” She muttered to herself, “Then an individual discussion with everyone…” she was pasting colorful sticky notes on the notice board, “then it would be lunch-time after that I need to talk to carpenters. It’s high time that I start communicating with them.”Hunter was standing in the doorway, waiting patiently for her to notice him but she was too busy talking to herself. After coming out of the elevator he did feel his employees throwing glances at him but he ignored all of it.He rarely visited this floor and could understand their curiosity. But he wanted to talk to her as she was staying at her friend’s place so he was not getting the chance.When he started running out of patience he tapped the door lightly with his knuckles.Abigail spun around in surprise, “Hey.”“Hey. Who are you talking to?”“Umm. Myself.” Her embarrasse
The whole office was almost empty. Even the employees who used to stay for late sittings had left on time due to weekend excitement.His laptop clicking was more audible now because of the extraordinary quietness.At last, he closed his laptop and stretched in his seat. He knew it was way more past dinner time. He held the laptop bag and entered the private elevator to reach the penthouse floor. Once he entered the living room, his eyes fell on the other portion where lights were out. He changed into pajamas with a white button-down soft cotton shirt.Abigail must have gone out for the weekend. Thank God for that. It was a mistake inviting her. He did not want her to keep her hopes high.Celine also did that and thought that she could take advantage of him. He had few bed partners in the past. But he never let them involve except making him happy in bed. Once done with the pleasure, they were welcome to leave. None of them was ever allowed to spend the ni
They had a wonderful dinner on the patio. There was also a private swimming pool under it, where soft lights illuminated.“Now this is not fair. The portion you have given me is nothing as compared to this one. I am falling in love with it.”“You like it?” He was leaned back now, sipping water.“It's beautiful, Hunter.” She stood there holding the railing enjoying the sight.Standing there, Abigail tried to suppress the burp but could not succeed as a result there was an unladylike sound.He started laughing and then burped loudly himself.Abigail’s shoulders started shaking with mirth, “I am scared.”“Scared of what?” he asked in-between his laughing fit.“After this burping contest, soon we might start a farting contest.” Listening to her gibe, he roared with laughter.He was clutching his chest and she was holding her tummy. After some time
She was walking down the aisle with someone. Kyle was waiting for her. She was all happy and smiling looking at him. And then she realized Kyle was not alone.“You may now kiss the bride.” she heard someone announce this. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs. How could father say this? She has not even reached there, how can he pronounce Kyle and her, husband and wife?She again looked at him and then gasped. Chloe was standing there right next to Kyle, looking very beautiful holding his hand. She was wearing the same wedding dress.How come Chloe wearing a similar one?Did they purchase two wedding gowns?She was panting as if she had been in a marathon.The bride and groom looked at her and then started kissing each other. She was shocked. She tried to stop them by screaming. But again not even a single sound came out of her throat.She wanted to ask Chloe about the wedding dress too. But If Chloe was wearing her
“You can use this space if you want, until the lock gets repaired. This one is underutilized.” He pointed towards the empty cupboard space in the room.“And why would I do that, mister Levisay?” she raised an eyebrow. “I am not moving in with you.”“That’s not a bad idea.” he teased “I won’t mind that,” he said mischievously.“Ha ha. Very funny. In your dreams, Levisay!” she said with fake sarcasm.He chuckled. “Let’s go out for lunch, we can ...” he stopped when she started shaking her head.“No lunch, please. I am not hungry…. Stop making me fatter.” She sprawled on the floor playfully putting her legs on the couch.Seeing her in such a relaxed mood did some tugging to his heart. Without even giving a second thought he picked a cushion from the couch and fixed it under her head, kneeling on the floor.She grinned
Abigail did deserve something more than a contract marriage. For contractual marriage, there were many women available who were ready to get paid and get laid. But this girl in his arms was worthy of something much better.Someone much better. She took this hasty step to get back at her ex and sister. But she was much more than that. Once she would achieve what they both were only dreaming… that would become the best revenge.When Abigail woke up it was almost evening. Hunter’s both arms were around her with a duvet over her. She raised her head and found him staring at the ceiling. As if sensing her, he looked at her and held her chin. “Hungry? “ She realized she was in bed which only meant …She started blushing to the roots thinking that he lifted her and brought her to bed... But Hunter kept staring at her. To take his eyes and concentration off her she spoke what came first to her mind. “You know I am
“I know, I am being a nuisance to you.” The hotel service had provided her with different office wears. She selected a pencil skirt and paired it with a cotton blouse.It was a perfect size. Brushing her hair she braided them neatly. It was Monday and she was supposed to go to the office. The locksmith had promised to arrive this evening and she had literally borrowed everything from Hunter.The toothbrush, hairbrush, her dress, sandals…And she was feeling ashamed. Irresponsible.“Come on Abigail. What should I do to make you feel better? Huh?”“You are already trying a lot. So please don’t.”“Stop thinking about it. I know you are dying to get rid of me but …”“Stop it, Hunter. No, I am not dying to do any such thing. It's just …” She sat on the dining chair facing him, “frustrating.”“Now eat your breakfast. D
“WHAT!” Molly choked badly on her beer. She covered her mouth with her palm and ran towards the sink.“Molly! Stop it. You are my friend and you are supposed to … Well. Leave it!”But Molly was laughing uncontrollably clutching her tummy, “Abigail. Seriously. How can you forget that code?”Abigail was just sitting there pouting not looking at her friend. Then she picked up a fashion magazine and started going through it.I can do this! I can ignore her. I should never have told her this.“Abigail. I guess you ARE getting old.”No answer.“Abigail. What was Hunter’s reaction?”No. I am not replying to her!“Abigail. Only I am the one who knows your phone code. I can call Hunter and ask him myself about his reaction.”“Don’t you dare!” Abigail smacked the magazine on the center table.“Oh. I would dare
Hello readers, Thank you for all the love and support you people have been offering me. When I started, Oops, story, I was not expecting more than a hundred readers. Never knew it will be liked this much. Time to say goodbye to Hunter/Abigail and Rafael/Emerald. I don’t think I would go for a sequel. But you never know. (wink wink) Whatever I am today is because of you people. Because of your constant encouragement, I did it. Thank you for the constant reviews. Believe me, I had been reading all of them. My next story will be Ouch! My Fiancé Fell For His Vir*gin Maid. It will be available hopefully by the second week of December. (Would try for earlier) Don’t forget to give it a chance. Justin, Sarah, and Ashley. They will be soon available on Goodnovel. For future announcements, you can follow me on Goodnovel or search for me as Lisa Salman-author. Xoxo. Bye - till we meet again. Lisa Salman-author.
Emerald woke up by stretching herself and turned her head sideways. Rafael was still sleeping like a baby with his mouth partially opened.She could see one or two strands of white hair in his subtle beard and she swore he was becoming more handsome with each passing day.Shifting closer to him, she sniffed that familiar perfume. God! She always acted like a creep when he was around.“I can never get enough of you.” She whispered in his ear making him stir in his sleep.“Harika?” He called her huskily snaking his arm around her na*ked body and pulling her to him.“Interested in a bath?” She asked his sleepy face, smiling slyly to herself.“Really?” This time his eyes opened widely.“Yup!” Kissing his cheek, she jumped out of bed when he held her hand hurriedly, “Let me do it for you, Guzel.”“You do it every Sunday, Askim. Let me do it for today.” She bent down to kiss his forehead but was sprawled on him when he not only made her stumble upon him but also rolled over taking her with
(Thirteen years later)Sixteen years old Sophia took out a rose twig from her bouquet and took it near her nose to sniff it.“Hmm. Heavens!” She closed her eyes in ecstasy.“You like it?” He asked her.“I love it, papa.” She opened her eyes and a smile gleamed on her lips. Her smile resembled a lot like her mom’s. She had taken that smile and black hair from Julia. That was the reason Emerald dyed her hair black many years back.The familiar smile still gave him pain.“Do you miss mom?” She asked him with concern showing in her eyes. The way she used to care about others showed a lot about how she was brought up by an amazing woman and man.“I used to. But now I think I have gotten over her.”“Once I will be eighteen, I am planning to visit her in Turkey.” Her statement made Robert snap up his head.“I don’t think Emerald and Rafael ever stopped you from meeting her. You just need to let them know.”“I know, papa. It’s just something I need to do on my own. Grandma shares her pictures
Sitting in the Levisay private jet, Emerald did not know where they were heading for their honeymoon. She was still dressed in her gown.“I was under the impression that we will be staying in Sapphire Galaxy.”“And why would I do that to my bride?” He asked her, circling her bare back with his finger. They enjoyed the wedding reception like anything.The Booz, the dances, meeting people. Emerald did everything in a daze. Finally, after coming out when it was time to throw back the bouquet they all were surprised when Patricia caught it effortlessly.“Are you missing Sophie?” Rafael got rid of his jacket before pulling her onto his lap, “Because I am.”He did try to convince Hunter to take Sophie with them. However, Hunter wanted them to spend this time together.They both deserved it. Their love deserved it.She did not know when she fell asleep in his arms. But when her eyes opened, she was in the furnished bedroom of the jet, lying peacefully in his arms.He was awake and staring at
“Oh, Gosh! Emerald! Wake up. It’s your wedding day.” Emerald had a pillow on her face when she heard Abi’s voice. “What? It’s already morning?” She asked herself and moved the pillow away from her face. “Look at you. The girl who had insomnia can now sleep nonstop.” Emerald got up yawning. Abigail was constantly talking without taking a break, “Come on, Em. Rise and shine.” She drew the curtains, allowing the room to bathe in sunlight. “Go and take shower. I will send a protein packed breakfast to the room. After that, you are supposed to wear your undergarments and petticoat. And yes…” Abigail was already stepping out, “Don’t forget to put on those bandelettes.” She winked before closing the door behind her. Emerald let out a panicked sigh and ran to the bathroom. Last night she stayed in the guest room of her house. Selina was already taking care of Sophie. After applying scented lotion all over her body, she came out in a bathing gown. it seemed like Abigail was waiting for her
“Mommy! You will marry daddy tomorrow?” She was changing Sophie’s dress into a sleeping suit when she asked the query with those innocent eyes on her face.“Yes, honey bun. We are.” She started brushing her daughter’s long black hair into a loose braid, “Are you happy?”“Happy of wedding? With daddy? Yes, mommy, I am.” She was too engrossed in brushing her barbie’s golden hair.“Mommy?”“Yes, honey bun?”“Would you love me after marry daddy?” Sophia was so busy with her doll’s hair that even she did not know the absurdity of her question.Emerald felt like someone had clenched her heart. Her daughter had started thinking along these lines. Was she getting insecure? Possessive?“Sophie? My baby!” She gently took the doll from her hands, “Look here, darling.” She held her small face in her hands, “You will always be my baby. You will always be my first love. And you know what?” She asked looking into the innocent eyes of her daughter,“Daddy loves you so much. He is always talking about
“Wake up, baby! Wake up!” She splashed water droplets on his closed lids. His lips stretched into a smile. He raised his arm to look for her in the air with his eyes still closed. She got back with a burst of half-suppressed laughter.“Come here!” His voice was still raspy due to the sleepiness, his hand still hanging in mid-air. Looking for her! She realized. “Get up. I am making breakfast for both of us!” telling him softly she went out of the room feeling all emotional. The way his hand wanted her was something too sweet to handle. When he came out all fresh and showered, she was placing the plates on the counter along with steaming coffee mugs. “Breakfast is ready and you need to…” She stopped when she saw him leaning against the counter in only a pair of shorts. His body was still glistening due to the shower he just took. Woah! The man let her do all those amazing things to his body last night and still, her insides were throbbing with his mere presence. “Still want to de
When Abigail and Hunter got inside the kitchen, they stopped short when found Emerald stirring something in a big bowl.“What are you doing?” Hunter picked up a carrot and started chomping on it.“I was thinking to help Abigail with the dinner.” She said busily, “How about I do a sweet dish and you can go with one main course dish. Or if you want I can …Oops!” She squealed when Hunter lifted her up as if she weighed like a feather and placed her away. “Brides are not allowed in the kitchen!” Hunter took the bowl from the counter and started whipping it.“He is right.” Abigail took out an apron from the drawer and threw another one towards her husband, “We will manage tonight’s dinner.”“I just wanted to help!” Emerald tried to protest.“I will ask Selina if needed. Now shoo away.” Abigail gave a little shove on her shoulder and started taking out veggies from the refrigerator.“You are still here, girl!” Hunter wiggled his brows, “Go get a massage. Spend some time away from this noi
When her flight landed in San Francisco, Patricia looked out of the window while stretching herself. Her favorite, warm and sunny San Francisco. The same one which she left last time in rage. And in pain. In that annual dinner, Rafael Wyatt did not even try to steal a glance her way. He seemed so uptight sitting there with Hunter and Abigail at the party. No matter how many times Abi tried to introduce them or tried to talk to him about their common interests he did not even budge. But he was a changed man on the screen when Emerald went to him at his movie celebration party and talked to him. He had this se*xy smile on his lips when he pulled her on the stage. Emerald must be hardly one year younger than her but her parents never treated her well. There was some old siblings’ rivalry with Cassandra but her parents always supported Cassie. Patricia loved her energy. After collecting her luggage, Patricia was pushing the trolley to the exit, observing different people at the airpo
