All the employees were busy doing their work there. But the girl who was sitting inside her cubicle, seemed to be lost in her own world. She was an intern business design analyst here. Though she was good at her work, no one really appreciated her for her hard work. But it was her fault that no one wished to sit or talk with her. She deserved it. No one ever talked to her except for when her opinion was needed. But there was one person who used to talk, laugh and eat with her and considered her as her friend. And that person was Jasmine Winter, who was her only friend in the work place. Though other than work place, she had no friends. So, she really cherished her friendship
After crying for almost half an hour, Cali got out of the washroom and went inside her cubicle. She could not work anymore today as she was so emotionally drained. So, she decided to take the remaining day off. She was shoving her stuff inside her handbag when Jas came in. "Cali, what happened? Are you alright? Where are yougoing?" She asked all in one go. She was trying to avoid eye contact with her as her eyes were still swollen due to all the crying."I am alright, Jas. It is just that I have to go somewhere urgently, so I am taking the half day off." She said as she continued to put her things in her bag. Yes, she urgently needed to go home and lock herself in her room. Jas just nodded. She didn't care much about anything or anyone other than herself, and Cali knew it. But still, she was the only one who behaved well with her even after knowing that she was poor and orphan."Okay. Well, I came here to tell you that I am going on a vacation with my boyfriend. We are going tomorrow.
As Cali went out of the office, her phone chimed in her purse. She took it out to find out that Horace was calling her. He was also an orphan and they both lived in the same orphanage. An involuntary smile spread across her lips. And she picked up his call almost immediately. She forgot about all her troubles and pain in her life for a moment. It was always like this when it was him. He was like a loving brother that she never had."Hey, Horace. How are you doing?" She asked still smiling. "Oh, stop it. Okay? Why do you care anyways?" He said and her smile vanished. A frown took over her features. "What are you saying Ace? You know I care about you, a lot." She said truthfully."Oh, really? Then why were you not calling me? It has beenalmost a month, you know that right?" He said with disappointment laced in his tone. Cali now understood what was wrong. She was so much caught up in her fucked up life that she didn't have time to call him. She sighed. "I am so sorry Ace. I was actually
Hearing his voice from behind, Cali remained glued in her place, too engrossed in thinking about the reason that could have brought him in here. He was taking slow and predatory steps towards them. His eyes were set on the man who had his hands and lips on his wife just a moment ago, all the while.His blood was boiling due to the jealousy coursing through his veins. As soon as he reached near them, he pulled his wife flush towards his chest, tugging her by her waist. And her mind went blank at his behaviour. What was his problem? She was failing to understand. If she meant nothing to him, then what was the point of being so possessive? His hand was snaked around her waist as his grip tightened, not hard enough to cause her pain though. Her cheeks were covered with a shade of crimson red, due to both embarrassment and anger. Who was he to behave like this with her brother? With that thought, she started struggling to get out of his hold, only to be held more firmly by him."Who the hel
She was in a daze. With her eyes wide open, she tried to comprehend that her husband, who shunned her in the morning, was now on top of her, with his lips pressed against hers.She started wriggling under him when she realized what he was trying to do. He was just like this when he was drunk and came home that night when they had an amazing sleep in each other's arms after they...she snapped out of her dreamland when she felt his lips on her throat, peppering feathery kisses. She pushed him away with all her might and he stumbled back, and on to the floor. He was shocked by the sudden rejection of Cali. In no time, his eyes darkened both with lust and anger. He wanted her but he could not understand why she was resisting him. It was clear as day that she also wanted him. Then why would she resist him? The last time she enjoyed it just as much as he did. What had changed now?Then suddenly, the thought of that man back at the restaurant came running to his mind. And he clenched his fist
The room was dimly illuminated by the morning sun rays that were filtering through the curtains of the windows. There, on the bed, were the couple sleeping. Their legs were tangled with each other and his arms were securely wrapped around her small frame.After some time, he started stirring from his peaceful slumber. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the clock to see it was seven in the morning. He sighed and then his gaze fell on the beauty sleeping next to him. He propped on his left elbow and started taking in her features. Her face was beautiful and serene, her pink plump lips that were parted slightly and were inviting him. So, he leaned in and placed a feather light kiss on them. A cute little frown was formed on her forehead due to the slight disturbance in her slumber. And he smiled at that. She was too cute for her own good. His gaze then fell onto the duvet that was barely covering his wife's chest, showcasing a large amount of the perky skin beneath it. And he licked his lip
When he came out of the bathroom, he saw that she was still laying on the bed, with the duvet still barely covering her body. When her eyes fell on him, her already red cheeks flushed some more. She stood up, holding the sheet tightly around her naked body and hurriedly walked passed him going towards the bathroom.He released a laugh looking at her flushed state. She was acting so shy infront of him. "Why so shy now, little amuse? You were so bold last night. And it is not like I have not seen any of this before. So, no need of hiding that delicious body from my sight." He said smirking victoriously when she literally ran into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. He could not stop himself from laughing out loud at her cute antics.After taking a quick shower, she got out of the bathroomwearing a bathrobe. She went inside the walk in closet and her eyes fell on her handsome husband who was wearing a casual black tee shirt and grey sweatpants and was now combing his hair. She f
She slid down the door after securing it with the lock. Her tears were flowing freely. She was feeling vulnerable. She had thought that he was different from his family members but he was just the same. She once again realized that no one in this world can love a poor and orphan person. Then how could she expect him to love her? She should not have. It was her mistake."Cali, please. I did not mean anything like that. Please open the door, give me a chance to speak. Please." He was softly knocking on the door as he knew that she was leaning against it. He could hear her muffled sobbing. He was really guilty. He did not want to yell at her but it was just the jealousy, yes, it was jealousy. He was jealous. She was his wife. How could he let her go to meet another man?She did not respond nor did she open door. Only the sound of silent crying was heard. Now, he was feeling super guilty. He did not want her to cry. He wanted to comfort her. He wanted to say sorry to her. But he could do t
