Vida's POVKnock! Knock!!"Bailey, the boss is asking for you," I'm told.I sigh as I reluctantly gather my things to leave.What does that b*st*rd want again?Irritated but with no option left, I find myself clicking my tongue repeatedly as I drag my legs to his office.Knock! Knock!!"Sir," I call out while standing outside the door.There's no reply, this makes me a bit pissed. Just how much does he enjoy frustrating my life, jeez?I open the door and walk in.He's seated with three other b*st*rds, chatting and heavy with laughter, too focused or perhaps busy pretending I don't exist while I walk in.I sigh, closing the door behind me.At once all three of them clear their throats, staring at me as if they have found prey."Bailey, what are you doing here, don't you know how to knock!" The old geezer yells.I roll my eyes knowing where this is heading and bow my head in apology, but hold on, why should I be the one apologizing?Quickly I raise my head back up and stare at the three
"Boys," I call out to them sweetly.It's silent and it's that way for a reason. Both of them have decided to go on a hunger strike in protest that I let them at least call their father.At first, I thought they were just ranting but it sure doesn't look like that anymore.Holding up the bagged snacks in my hand, I set them aside, taking a quiet step towards them, cautiously watching around to find those pair of eyes."Kids, I know you're in there, so come out, don't make me come find you, because you know too well how good mama is at tickling, who knows perhaps I might turn into a tickle monster and tickle you for eternity," I tell them."Hehehe…""Shhh…"That giggle!I turn around at that voice, it's without a doubt Neo, having fun as he laughs away his hideout.Carefully I move towards them.I can hear Ash scolding him in a whisper the closer I draw."Look what you've done, mama would certainly find us," Ash tells Neo."But I couldn't help it, I wanted to laugh so badly, besides, Ma
"Alright Everyone, I can see we're all seated," the boss says as he walks in, his eyes nicely fixated on me.Ugh, that b*st*rd.I turn away feigning a conversation with the co-workers so I can avoid his lustful gaze."Hmph!" I hear him go as he turns away."He's really on to you…" Alexa whispers."Tell me about it, forget that he doesn't look like my type staring at a woman with such obvious intentions, sheesh what a pervert," I mumble."Let's get started. Just so you know, the shares of our firm have been sold, and the new shareholder will be making himself present pretty soon, let's say in a few weeks so I'll be *ssigning some new posts and *ssignments that'll help us run the company a bit more proficiently, so everyone takes out your pens and starts writing down your roles and new *ssignment…"***"Tch! How could he dare, I bet he separated us on purpose," Alexa yells in frustration, pulling her hair.The meeting did not go so well for a few people who are Mr. Darlington's prey.Se
There he is, standing bold and striding with great confidence with people flocking behind him, trying to suck up with him.He hasn't changed, so I guess the only one who's changed after all this time is me."Dammit!" someone yells beside me, attracting my attention."What is it?" Everyone asks worriedly as we can see her gritting her teeth."Does no one see the hot chick beside him, we haven't got a chance next to someone like her, I mean look at her."Now that she mentioned it, Dexter does have a woman right beside him.She's average height with short brown curly hair, a bit olive skinned with beautiful red lips and a mole under her left eye. A rather stunning beauty if I do say so myself."Who could she be, I've never heard of her before," they murmur."You think his ex came back?" Alexa suddenly blurts.I choked on my saliva upon hearing that, to think they'd believe that woman was me when in reality, my looks were nothing compared to hers.One of them shakes her head in disagreeme
Tch!I click my tongue, averting my gaze as I rub my forehead while watching this man free his necktie."I've waited a long time for this," he says as he slowly approaches.Unafraid I sight a very lovely vase standing in the middle of the table, all it'll take is for me to grab hold of it and swing it as hard as possible, I bet then he'd know when to stop."You've been a very naughty girl, a bit difficult but I like it when they struggle, I'm telling you, there's this fun attached to watching women like you struggle that makes everything worth the wait," he says lustfully.His tie is already undone, his tongue licking his lower lips as he smirks devilishly.Great, to think I'd have him to add to my fu*ked up day.I'd like to ignore him right this moment and call Silas for help but I know I can't keep relying on him forever, it was a now-or-never situation and I had to put things right where they belonged."Sir, I don't know if you haven't noticed," I began, "but I'm in a very foul moo
The firm was abuzz with a cacophony of noise.The room was filled with tension, and I could feel it prickling my skin like tiny needles. It was just in time, it seemed, as things were about to take a turn for the worse with Mr. Darlington, the intimidating boss of the law firm I worked at.The moment the door burst open, I couldn't help but jump in surprise, my eyes widening.In storming Dexter, the person who had kicked Darlington's *ss, his presence filled the room with an air of malcontent.It felt hard to breathe as his narrowed eyes swerved around the hallway, his lip curling back when he watched many of the spectators cowering in fear from his presence alone.Mr. Darlington turned, a sneer on his lips, "Who the he11-."The boss, who had been ready to unleash his fury upon whoever had disturbed the peace, quickly paled as he took in the sight of Dexter marching towards him.My heart pounded in my chest as I took in the scene before me.Dexter's presence alone seemed to set the at
A few days had p*ssed since the unsettling events involving Dexter had come to an end, leaving the office draped in an eerie calmness. Though a sense of relief washed over me, I couldn't shake off the lingering apprehension that Dexter was still lurking nearby.The boss, who had once been relentless in his criticism, now seemed to have undergone a complete change of heart, leaving me confused and on edge.It was amidst this strange atmosphere that I found myself, tucked away in a corner of the office, contemplating the recent events. Suddenly, the boss appeared, his eyes wild as he frantically searched for me."Bailey!" he bellowed when his gaze finally landed on me, his face morphing from panic to relief.Blinking at his sweaty visage, a wrinkle of distaste formed on my nose.He looked as though he had just sprinted a mile, his breath coming in ragged gasps."Yes, sir?" I replied politely, not wanting to provoke his ire after the previous encounter.Though Dexter's intervention had g
Dexter's POVAs the sun shone over the city skyline, I sat in my opulent hotel room, my mind consumed with thoughts of longing and vengeance.The weight of the encounter with Vida still weighed on my mind."Ah!!! Dammit, it wasn't supposed to be this way."My heart pounded with a mixture of anger and longing as I fiddled with my phone, before tossing it on the table, my mind swirling with memories and unanswered questions.It had been a year since she left without a word, disappearing from my life as if she had never existed. And yet, seeing her again, the wave of emotions crashing over me caught me off guard."She was my mate. Mine!"Even if she tried to hide it through a new identity.She was just as beautiful as I remembered, a vision that still ignited a fire within me, but the pain of her absence had etched deep scars on my heart.Vida had been my world, my confidant, my love. But her sudden departure had shattered everything, leaving me in a state of bewilderment and heartache.
