She was coming out of the building when someone held her by her elbow.
“What are you doing here? Have some shame Abigail and never show your face. Ever!” Chloe was furious like anything. She was the one who got the job at Levisay International. How come Abigail even thought to set her foot there?
“Don’t you dare touch me!” Abigail kept her cool while freeing her arm from her grip, “You don’t own the building, now. Do you?” She shrugged and turned to leave when she heard Chloe’s evil laughter.
“I would.” Abigail stopped when she heard Chloe’s absurd remark.
“Excuse me?” Abigail frowned a little.
“I said. I would.” Chloe stood in front of her with her chin up, shoulders square.
“One day not only this building but also this Levisay group might belong to me because…” She brought her face closer to Abigail, “The CEO of the comp
“I am Abigail Mason, your head manager for the program. This is just an introductory meeting so that we can get acquainted with each other. We all are here to work together as a team. Whatever you are working at, I would love to hear about it tomorrow at noon. Right here in this meeting room.”She smiled looking at their faces, “You have a problem? Come to me right away. I am sure we will sort it out.” Around twenty-five women were seated in the conference room listening to her intently. It was the first official meeting for the empowerment program.Abigail was sitting on the head seat of the meeting table. Ethan was there on her left.All the program participants were there except one. A single chair on her right was empty and she knew who it belonged to. Abigail had to start the meeting without waiting for that person because she did not want to give her team the impression that she was not punctual.During the last week, she had
“Oh my God! Is this your apartment?” Molly was surveying her place which had spacious rooms having branded furniture. “Like it?” Abigail smiled. Molly had at last returned from her home trip and the first thing she did was to pay a visit to her friend as promised. She had red hair with a pixy cut which made her personality even more impressive.“Are you kidding me? I am in love with it!” Molly rolled her eyes making her friend giggle. “But are you sharing this space with someone?”“Sharing? No. This is assigned to me.”“Are you sure? Because the structure…” Molly sounded confused.“What? What is it?” Abigail frowned. Something was bothering her friend.“No. Nothing. I am happy for you.” Molly shook her head smiling and went forward to hug her friend but unexpectedly was pushed away.“Molly! Tell me.&rdq
“I will kill her! I want to murder her! How dare she! How dare she!” Chloe was screaming at the top of her lungs. Kyle was trying his best to handle her but she was getting out of control.The pieces of ceramic plates were lying in the living room. She had broken most of the table wear, glass wear, delicate deco pieces.When Kyle could not take it anymore he pushed her towards the couch with full force, “STOP IT! I SAID STOP IT!”The moment he shouted, she became quiet. Silent tears were running down her cheeks. Then abruptly she stood up and headed towards the door.“Hey. Where are you going?”“I am going to kill her.” She wiped her face with the back of her hand when Kyle held her by the waist and hugged her tightly.“Shh sweetheart! Shh!” He was saying sweet words in her ear and she was standing there in his embrace without uttering a single word. Her shoulders were shaking sligh
They both were at Molly’s place and Abigail was just sitting there on the living room couch. Molly was sitting beside her. Her arm was draped around Abigail with her head leaned on her shoulder.“I am such a dork, Molly. How can I do this shit?”“Come on, hun. Now stop blaming yourself. None of this is your mistake.”“No. Seriously. I was so stupid that I went to him and …” Abigail’s head fell on her hands, “I am a bit*ch”“Hey, Abigail. Stop it. OK?”“No. I won’t.” She stood up and picked up her purse. “That son of a bi*tch did not even look at me. He was acting as if he did not know me at all.”“Are you angry because you married a CEO by mistake? Or is it because of the non-chalantness you are receiving from him? Isn’t it what you were looking for?”Abigail stopped dead in her tracks. She frowned a little, l
Executives of ‘Levisay Group’ were here from Manhattan for this important meeting. Hunter Levisay was heading this top-notch meeting in the conference room. The environment of the room was quite tense.Abigail was there as a departmental head. It had been ten days since she found that he was the CEO. After that, they had countless encounters. Countless OFFICIAL encounters! But not once he tried to look at her or talk to her.He always acted as if they both were strangers. As if she did not exist!The problem was with her. She wanted to believe she was happy with the arrangement. Totally contented that he treated her with cool courtesy just like any other employee.Now she remembered he had always been like that even before she got to know that he was not Henry.Cold!Callous!She was the one who tried to chat. He was always there as a listener. But later he had started warming up to her. He was becoming friendlier. He even use
“Mister. Are these heavy cupboards only placed on the ledges? Isn’t there something else heavier than this?” “Miss, I have seen something quite heavier on the other side.” The guard took her there where a delicate showcase was standing in a corner. “But it’s quite light. I want something heavier.” “Why do you want a heavy piece of furniture, miss? If you are interested in buying it then it's not for sale. This warehouse is the private property of Levisay international.” The guard did not know why she was exactly there. “The thing is … I need this piece to fall on someone’s head.” She smiled evilly extending a 100 dollar bill towards the middle aged man. The man licked her lower lip but did not reach out to hold it. “Miss. 100 dollar bill is not enough to crush someone by it.” “Really? Then tell me. How much?” “At least 1000 dollars, miss.” “What?” She laughed shaking her head, “This is absurd. How about 500?” “N
She turned to look at the girls. They seemed baffled. Mrs. Ann looked the cutest covering her mouth with her palm. Debbie and Ava were still wide eyed.She turned back to Hunter who was trying very hard not to laugh, “Do you want me to take it off… here?” He lifted an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”Abigail was by now a nervous wreck. The monster Hunter was acting as if he was her fast friend, “N… No. Not here. I think we should be alone for that. May … may be … in…inside your office.” She smiled a little, turning again to Mrs. Ann for the approval.By now Debbie was choking badly. She picked up her coffee cup along with a croissant in her other hand and walked away. Ava suddenly developed a particular report to work on and dug her head in the file.Well! Mrs. Ann had to run for a bathroom visit.Without understanding, she eyed Hunter with a frown. Instead of saying anything, Hunter he
He could not see the face but the familiar scent told him who it was…“If. Next. Time. You. Ever. Try. To. Communicate. With. Me. In front. Of. Anyone. I. Will. Murder. You! Got. That?”Abigail’s hissing sound appeared near his ear. Gulping down his laughter he slowly nodded his head.“Say it, you monster!” She said between her clenched teeth.“I got you, sugar!” His heavy voice appeared through the dark.“Stop. Calling. Me. That.”“Stop. Calling. You. What?” He mimicked her effortlessly.“This stupid … sugar thing.” Now, why was her voice shaking?“Ok. What’s the deal? Why so angry?” when she did not answer, he again said, “We can sit and talk about it. Let’s bring it in open.” His both arms were raised in a ‘hands up’ position.Did she detect friendliness in his tone? But no. Right
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
