"We are wasting time you know?" June said waiting at the door of the car. They had gotten to the other branch in the outskirts of town but Octavia was refusing to get down from the car which she clearly didn't understand why. Wasn't this her plan in the first place? Wasn't she the one who had to be more comfortable with the idea of dressing like someone else? It was already uncomfortable enough for her that she was going to have to lie that Octavia was her cousin who needed a job and had gotten an approval letter from her boss, it wasn't even the lie part that was uncomfortable. It was the part where she had to control herself from not laughing at how ridiculous Octavia looked right now. She was wearing an old wig, big glasses over her face that made her look like a granny, and the awful Ash gown she had on. She had tried to touch up the dress a bit but Octavia insisted. Octavia's pretend name was Bella. "I feel weird," Octavia replied finally coming out of the car as her flat
"I am sorry," Octavia apologized again. She didn't mean to upset Keir, she had hoped not to run into him, she didn't even think she would but here she was getting scolded by him. Keir packed the car by the side of the road as he turned to her, placing both hands on her cheeks he leaned in and kissed her passionately, he didn't know why but he suddenly felt the urge to. Octavia's eyes widened by his action, it wasn't that they had not shared a couple of passionate kisses in the past but she had been taken aback by his action, she had not expected him to kiss her after his outburst. She kissed him back with the same intensity, she rolled over from her chair and she climbed on Keir, Keir immediately pulled the seat backward a bit so it could accommodate both of them as he reached for the buttons on her blouse ripping it immediately as he placed her breast in his mouth. He sucked on her nipples as Octavia held on to his head moaning from how good his warm lips felt on her nipples, she
He was surprised that Rue was back, he had chatted with her yesterday and she didn't make mention of it to him, he didn't ask her why, he figured it wasn't planned. "No, I want to see her," Octavia said. "Let's go to the airport." "Alright." ~ AIRPORT ~ When Keir got to the airport he remained outside his car with Octavia trying to call Rue on the phone but her number was not connecting, it didn't take long for them to spot a lady wearing a black pant, white top, dark shades and a red heels approaching them with a traveling bag. The lady's smile grew wider at the sight of Keir. "Keir," Rue yelled rushing to him in her heels as she hugged him immediately, she kissed him on the cheeks as she smiled at him. "I am so happy to see you, i thought you won't come to pick me up." "Why won't I? I was just around the corner with Octavia," Keir said as Rue realized Octavia was next to him, she had been looking at the lady next to him but from the way she was poorly dressed she concluded th
"I will be staying for just a week before I get my place, I would have just come to surprise you at your place of work but the Uber I called didn't show up," Rue said. "There is no problem, I am sure my mother will also be pleased to see you," Keir said staring at her smiling then back on the road. His mother always asked of Rue and her family, they used to be so close when they were younger that his mother had thought they would end up dating but as faith would have it, she traveled out but that didn't stop his mother from daydreaming. It wasn't that he couldn't date Rue back then but he had more pressing issues on his mind which involved the fact that his father wanted him to take over the company at such an early age. Back then, it was overwhelming for him but now he was grateful that he had been exposed to the business world at such a young age, it gave him enough insight as to what to expect in the future and how to overcome certain unforeseen challenges in the company. "I h
Fuck," Keir muttered opening his eyes to stare at Octavia who had already rolled to the side of the bed. He got up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom to get himself cleaned up quickly, the last thing he wanted was to leave his cum allover her bed. He turned on the shower and got in, washing the cum on his stomach off. Much better. He turned off the shower when he was sure he was clean then walked into the room carrying Octavia off the bed bridal style into the bathroom and placing her on the toilet for her to pee and wash off. "You didn't have to," Octavia said peeing immediately, she was waiting for him to come out before she used the bathroom. When she was done she flushed as Keir pulled her into the shower turning it on, he kissed her on the lips. "I could fuck you all day," he said on her lips as Octavia giggled.It was the same for her but the last thing she wanted was to get sore down there, this was enough for today. "I guess you are going back home," Octavia said.
She didn't notice that her thoughts were making her look blankly in the air as she squeezed onto her pen."Are you okay?" June asked worried as to how Octavia had taken her little joke, well it wasn't exactly a joke, it was a common thing back then but maybe Octavia hadn't noticed. Even she had not been there but she had listened to those who gossiped about her in the office and they always made mention of one Madam Rue. "So, what are you going to do with all those clothes?" she asked trying to change the topic."Give them to you of course, you can wear them or resell them I don't care, Keir said he would look into the issue, and discuss it with his security team.""That's good," June breathed out relieved to hear that the issue would be resolved, she didn't bother to argue about the clothes because she knew Octavia would not listen to her if she refused to collect the clothes, it wasn't a new thing for Octavia to gift her clothes, shoes, and bags or even give her money for free.Alt
"What are you doing?""Remember our first kiss," Rue smiled withdrawing."Unfortunately, yes," Keir frowned.He had been drunk that day, he couldn't remember much, and he didn't even know how he found himself amid his friends playing truth and dare, and he was dared to kiss anyone.He had wanted to kiss Angela, she was a very popular girl back then in school and she was so pretty, they had eventually slept together after that day but during that period he was so drunk, he couldn't stand up to go and kiss her.He was skeptical because he didn't want to make a fool of himself by staggering to her so he had turned to kiss Rue instead, he didn't remember much or how her lips tasted.He was grateful that he had not kissed Angela because it would be embarrassing for him to later tell her that he couldn't remember the kiss.He was even surprised Rue still remembered that."What do you mean by, unfortunately? it was both of our first kiss remember?"Rue remembered how she had been taken aback
"Well I am also not seeing anyone but I am opened to a relationship," Rue smiled."That's good, I wish you luck in that field," Keir smiled.~ RESTAURANT ~"How is it?" Octavia asked stretching her hand over the table to feed Keir as he chewed on the food slowly trying to savor the taste. "June said they make a good steak.""It's not bad, I will give it a nine," Keir said digging into his plate."You never give something a ten," Octavia rolled her eyes."Only you, you are a ten and that's all the ten I need," Keir flattered."Don't make me blush," Octavia blushed looking away and eating her food, she loved the fact that he didn't have to say too much to make her feel like a queen, she had thought about what June said and decided it was best to go on a date to clear out things.She had a lot of things that were bothering her since Rue came and the more she kept it to herself, the more she felt stressed, it was best to discuss it with Keir, she was sure he also had one or two things to
- MONTHS PASSED - - HARDIN’S MANSION - “Where are you going to?” Hardin asked, reaching out to June on the bed as he embraced her tightly from behind, planting a kiss on her ear. “Octavia is going to kill us if we don’t attend her baby shower,” June muttered. “Why does her baby shower have to be today?” Hardin groaned. After Conrad was arrested, they spent months going to the station, talking to the police, and going to the court to provide evidence and act as witnesses to make sure Conrad got locked up for good. Finally, the judge ruled in their favor and Octavia decided to put her baby shower on the one day that they needed to rest. Why? “We are not spending the whole day in her house remember,” June smiled, understanding Hardin’s frustration and his desire to spend the whole day with just her. She turned around and placed her hand on his cheeks. “We could leave early.” “Early? Once I see Keir I don’t think early is going to come to mind, those two are still in their honeym
“What are you talking about?” Hardin asked."I need to show you something," June said, grabbing Hardin's laptop from the dining table and bringing it to the living room. She inserted a flash drive into the laptop and placed it on the table. Hardin sat down next to her, already repeating what she had said again in his head, ‘I have been faking it’. His eyes widened slowly as it dawned on him what June meant, but she showed him the video already playing, interrupting his thoughts. - VIDEO RECORDING -Emma places her phone on the top shelf. She goes back and looks around to check if the camera is showing. She rushes back to sit on the office chair in the library. Soon Conrad steps in, discussing something over the phone. His eyes flare up at the sight of Emma sitting in his seat in his library. “What the hell do you think you are doing sitting in my seat?” Conrad asked, disconnecting the call and placing his phone back into his pocket. “I thought it best to come and play with my hus
An hour later, Conrad arrived at Hardin’s house, and Hardin felt anxious when he opened the door and caught sight of him.He glanced at June and noticed how she was nervous to see Conrad. He wondered what she was up to. “I’m glad to see you, June,” Conrad whispered. He walked over to June, about to give her a hug, as Hardin stopped him by raising his hand to his chest and shoving him off. “Don’t touch her,” Hardin warned. This meeting was already taking a lot from him to endure. If he touched her, he wouldn’t hesitate to take him out.“We should all sit down and talk,” June asked, like she wasn’t aware of the tension between the two men.Hardin and Conrad stare at each other for a moment, both trying to contain the resentment they held towards each other for June’s sake. They finally sit on the couch and June sits next to Conrad instead of Hardin. Her action doesn’t go unnoticed by Hardin, who eyes flare up, but he allows it. “This should be a private conversation. He shouldn’t be
Hardin was furious and bewildered by June’s desire to meet Conrad. He understood that she had lost her memory and couldn’t remember Conrad, but wasn't that enough reason for her not to want to see him?He ran his fingers through his hair as he got to his feet, pacing around, trying to process her request. “June, I don’t think this is a good idea. Look, you don’t know the kind of person Conrad is. I mean, he is not the person you think he is.” Hardin voiced out, hoping June would back down.“Allow me to see him, Hardin.” She said, with a straight face.Hardin sighed heavily. This was the last thing he wanted. “Why can’t you listen to me, June? I just told you he is not the person you think he is, and he doesn’t love you. "He's nothing but a liar," Hardin muttered through clenched teeth.“Why do you think so, Hardin? Just allow me to meet him. You don’t have to be so stiff about it.” “Stiff?”“I want to meet with him. I don't remember anything. You make it sound like I do and I am int
Hardin held June in his arms for almost five minutes until he realized she had fallen asleep and stopped crying.He lovingly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as he kissed her forehead. "I promise to protect you from any harm," he whispered, carrying her in his arms.He got up on his feet and laid her gently on the bed, covering her with the duvet. He smiled at her. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep. He could watch her this way without being tired.His mind finally drifted to that call Maria had placed. Something must have caused June to act like this. A frown suddenly fell on his face at the thought of Maria probably doing something to trigger her. Seething with anger, he stormed into the living room, “Maria! Maria!!” He called out to her as she rushed from the kitchen into the living room, bowing her head down. “Maria, what did you do to her? I specifically instructed you not to stress her out,” Hardin bellowed, his voice filled with frustration.Maria, her eyes dow
June stumbled back, her head pounding with confusion. She couldn’t remember who this man was, and it left her feeling disoriented. “Who are you?” she asked, her voice trembling.Conrad looked hurt by her question. He took a deep breath and said, “June, it’s me, Conrad.”“Conrad?” June muttered. In the hospital, she remembered uttering that name, but couldn't piece it together. “I- I am sorry, but Conrad, from where? I don’t know you.”“You do. We’ve been dating for over a year now. How can you not remember me?” Conrad lied.“What?” June questioned. That couldn’t be possible. Hardin was her boyfriend. His mother was here just now to confirm that they were indeed dating, and she wasn’t pleased about it."I was in a car accident, which is why I couldn't reach out to you earlier," Conrad explained, stepping towards her, but June stepped back.“Please Sir, leave,” Maria finally spoke up, seeing the distraught look on her madam’s face.“Who are you?” Conrad asked, but Maria didn’t reply to
"Mrs Scott?" June said. Hardin had mentioned his mother but he barely said much about her, he told her he would explain better today but now here she was. How did she know Hardin was here?"Where is my son? I want to see him," Mrs Scott asked looking behind June to see if Hardin was there."I told you Ma, he is not here," Maria replied angrily, she had been repeating over and over again that Mister Hardin wasn't around but Mrs Scott refused to believe her. "Will you shut up?" Mrs Scott yelled at her."He is not around at the moment but if you want to wait for him you can," June said in a low voice."No Ma'am, Sir said she shouldn't come in," Maria shook her head not accepting what her madam was saying."It's fine Maria, I will handle the situation, you don't need to worry about it," June reassured her seeing the terrified look on her face, it seemed Hardin had given her strict rules to not allow anyone inside including his mother.But why his mother? Was he hiding something from her?
By nighttime, June decided to take her bath and get some rest. As she took her shower the scent of the bathing soap felt familiar in her nose as she scrubbed her body trying to remember anything but she couldn't.She emerged from the bathroom afterward, her freshly washed face glistening under the soft glow of the vanity lights. Dressed in her cozy pajamas, she climbed onto the bed, preparing herself for a good night's sleep. As she settled under the covers, the door creaked open, and there stood Hardin. He held his pajamas, ready to freshen up and join her in bed.He dropped the pajamas on the bed and went to take a quick shower when he came back he had a white towel over his waist. June stared at his body, his raven-black hair was slicked back, water droplets glistening on his chiseled chest and strong shoulders. Her choice of boyfriend wasn't so bad she smiled to herself, he was not only handsome but also sexy. A smirk danced upon his lips as he caught June admiring his post-show
June felt her heart leap out of her chest at Hardin's words, her lips parted as she tried to say something but there was nothing coming to her head. That kiss had done something to her and she knew deep down Hardin could see it in her eyes.They both remained still staring deep into their eyes but that brief moment of blissful oblivion was shattered when the maid unexpectedly entered the room.Startled by what was going on, she quickly averted her eyes and mumbled an apology, "I'm sorry for interrupting. I didn't know you had company, Sir." Her face turned crimson as she hastily headed back inside. Hardin and June exchanged a sheepish glance before breaking into a light chuckle. "It's quite alright, Maria" Hardin reassured the flustered maid stopping her on her track as she turned around bowing her head to them. "June, this is Maria, your new housekeeper."Maria nodded, still blushing, and extended a polite greeting, "Nice to meet you, Ma'am. If you need anything, don't hesitate to
