After Ria walked away and went to her room, Linda went into hers and called Trisha."Yes, what has been going on in my absence?" Trisha asked.Linda said, "Well, just this morning, as I arrived, I saw Ria descending the stairs that lead up to Mr. Baltimore's room, almost naked. Her hair was disheveled, her makeup was ruined, and she held her shoes in her hand. It was very obvious what had transpired between them. I didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure. However, still this morning, I overheard their conversation in the kitchen.""Anthony was in the kitchen?" Trisha asked.Linda said, "Yes, ma'am, and they were being all lovey-dovey. As I listened in on their conversation, I realized that my suspicion was correct. Something definitely happened between them.""I knew it," Trisha said. "Ria seemed too polished to be a housekeeper; too beautiful, and too young too. However, I need more than assumptions; if I'm going to act on any information, I have to be sure that it's what
While in his office, Anthony could not stop thinking about Ria. The more he recalled the moments he had spent with her, the more he wanted her again.Eventually, he left his office even before it was time to leave and hurried back home to meet her. However, when he got there, he realized that she was not at home.At this time, though, Ria was speaking on the phone with Trisha. She said, "No, Mrs. Baltimore, I assure you that you have been misinformed. Why would you think I would do such a thing with your husband?""Really? You didn't? So what were you doing coming out of our bedroom naked?" She asked."Oh, I just went up to clean your bedroom." Ria lied."Clean our bedroom? How convenient! I traveled, and all of a sudden you're cleaning my husband's bedroom naked? What happened to the living room? What happened to preparing his meals and doing other things that need to be done? It just had to be our bedroom, right?" Trisha asked."I am sorry if you got the wrong information," Ria sai
RIAIn the morning, I opened my eyes to the feeling of someone kissing my neck. I turned, and noticed Anthony on my bed, and my eyes widened in surprise. Almost immediately, they went back to normal, and I smiled."Good morning, Anthony," I said to him."Good morning, sweetie," he replied.I chuckled, "Sorry for my reaction earlier. I've gotten used to sleeping alone, I didn't remember that you had spent the night here."He nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, so you're trying to tell me that you don't have a boyfriend? I mean, someone as beautiful as you are? You're practically good at everything – cooking, keeping the house clean, and having sex too. How could you be single?"I smiled, "Well, I'm not saying I've never had someone. I just haven't met someone good enough for me, so I decided to be patient. It's better to be single than be with the wrong person, right?"He nodded, "Yeah, who can understand that better than me?"I didn't know what he meant, but I excused myself and got off the be
RIAI stared at Anthony in surprise, as I tried to understand what he was trying to do. Thinking about it made me realize that he seemed too calm about the situation. For someone who wanted to preserve his relationship with his fiancee, he never really tried to conceal our illicit affair, and now he was being a jerk to her. What was he up to?Trisha walked back to him and asked, "What are you trying to say, Anthony?"He smiled at her, "Come on, Trish, you should understand what you mean to me. You are my fiancee and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Yes, I've pushed our wedding and want it to happen after six months but it doesn't change your position in my heart.Ria and I have talked about it, and she will be here for just six months. Surely you can turn a blind eye during this time."Trisha scoffed, "Are you asking me to stay here and turn a blind eye while you fuck this bitch for the next six months?"Anthony nodded, "Pretty much. That's not such a hard thing to do, da
RIAAs before, I gave Anthony head, just like he wanted, despite the awkwardness of our situation.I wasn't particularly in the mood, not with Trisha standing at the head of the stairs and staring at me as though her eyes had the ability to shoot bullets.Anthony's sensual moans turned me on but I wished we could get a different room. I didn't know why I felt that way. I ought to have been happy that things were going my way but for some reason, I tapped Anthony's thigh and gestured with my eyes so we could leave the living room.He looked up and noticed Trisha staring at us. It seemed to fuel him even more as he got up and pulled me with him. He quickly took off his pants and his shirt. Afterward, he helped me pull up my dress and tossed it to the ground.My eyes darted to where Trisha was and I wanted to remind him once again of her presence. However, his lips devoured mine in a fiery kiss.Despite my newfound dislike of him, I felt weak in the knees as desire consumed me. He pushed
Ria found it difficult to believe Anthony's words. Could it be that he was making it all up to justify his treatment of Trisha? But that did not make any sense.Why would he lie about Trisha when he seemingly had nothing to lose? She thought about all of Anthony's actions toward Trisha since she came into his house and said, "It all makes sense. That's why you don't respect her.But there are other things I don't understand. You don't strike me as a man who is in love with his fiancee, so why do you still want to marry her despite knowing that she is doing something behind your back?Where did she travel to and why was she making it seem like she is head over heels in love with you and you're the only guilty one?"Anthony smiled, "I know for a fact that Trisha was in the arms of another man when she pretended to be with her mom in the hospital. I am not a saint and I have had my own share of women, even while engaged to Trisha.That's why I turned a blind eye to her cheating. I don't
Anthony held Ria's hand as they made their way into the garden of the luxurious hotel. They were the only customers allowed into the garden because Anthony had reserved it a while back.Ria was impressed by how Anthony had gotten the garden set up on such short notice. The garden was adorned with soft string lights, draped over fragrant blooms and lush greenery. Stone pathways led to a quaint gazebo with a rustic wooden table, set for two, adorned with fresh flowers and candles.The air carried a scent of blooming roses and the gentle melody of a trickling fountain provided a serene backdrop. The chilly air blew on her bare back and she rubbed her arms absentmindedly.Her gaze was focused on the pool as they walked to their seats and she imagined the feeling of taking a dip during summer. Anthony acted like a gentleman, completely different from the feral sex mate she knew. Sensing her plight, he took off his jacket and covered her back, since her dress was strapless.She stared at hi
After leaving the hotel, Anthony led Ria into his car, and they began driving back home. It was already late because they had left the house when it was dark.However, Ria felt a sense of happiness and fulfillment, occasionally turning to stare at Anthony and smile all through the journey back home.Meanwhile, Anthony kept silent. Each time Ria turned to stare at him, he would stare back and return her smile.When they finally arrived home, she took off his jacket and gave it to him, saying, "Thank you so much for tonight. It was really amazing and it meant a lot to me."Anthony smiled, "I can see that. You can go to your room now and change up; I will be up in my room. I still have a lot of things to take care of before retiring to bed."She nodded, "Okay, Good night then.""Good night," he replied.She stared at him as he walked up to his room and wondered, "Why am I suddenly feeling this way? Why do I feel so happy that you went out of your way for me, Anthony? No, no, I cannot do
RIAThree months later, Anthony and I held hands as we walked on a field. We had gone there to have a picnic because we wanted to try something different.For weeks, Anthony had taken me to all the fancy restaurants in different parts of the world, but today I craved something simple. A meal with just the both of us while enjoying a serene environment. As we walked toward where our seats had been prepared, I stared at the lilies decorating the field and smiled. "This place is beautiful. Anthony, how did you discover it?"He circled his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, "That's a secret I am not going to expose." I chuckled, I had thought he wanted to say something else. We stared at each other for a while before I briefly kissed him, "You know, in spite of how much time has passed, Anthony, this still feels like a dream.""Why?" He asked me. I shrugged, "I found love, Anthony. I never thought I could, but I found love in not just anyone but you; Anthony Baltimore, the bigg
ANTHONYI stared at Ria, who was on her knees, and my heart ached. I didn't want to do this to her, but I needed to be sure. Yes, I could feel her love for me, and I could see how desperately she did what she thought was best to save my life.I was deliberately putting up a front, but my heart was racing. I wanted her to tell me how much she loved me. I wanted her to tell me that she wanted to be with me.This was the first time in my life that I had felt this way about any woman. Yes, if it was anyone else, I would have killed them for daring to come into my house and poison me.But this was Ria, the girl I was madly in love with. I had to act a little bit but the more she confessed her feelings for me, the more my resolve broke. In the end, I could not bear to see her in pain anymore, and I had to let her down from where I hung her. I also dropped the gun I was holding. Ria said she wanted to be by my side. She wanted to be mine, what else could I ask for? I had everything else at
RIAMy heart was thumping loudly as Anthony pointed his gun at me. He asked me how I thought everything was going to play out and I pondered over his question for a minute. I had also never tried to look at the end, I was mainly focused on saving Anthony but if only he could get past his feelings of anger and need for revenge. If only he could see me like he used to, then everything would be fine.... something suddenly occurred to me and I raised my eyes. "Hold on," I said to him. "You just explained now that everything was planned by you. I mean, while I thought my plans were being carried out, you were the game planner. What about all those things you said to me? The way you made me feel, the promises you made.Saying you love me, saying you were going to spend the rest of your life with me. Was that all a plan? Was it just to watch me make you fool of myself? Will you achieve your aim in the end? I mean, yes I knew I was no saint but regarding my feelings I never...""Yes and no,
RIAI continued to stare at Anthony in surprise while my arms and legs hurt. I didn't know how long I had been tied up for but I was sure it had been more than two hours. I didn't understand what was going on. Anthony Baltimore?How could I have been so wrong about him? The things that happened between us from the moment I met him played over and over in my mind yet I could not understand how it turned out differently because things did not add up."Confused?" He asked and I nodded.He lowered his gun and said, "Okay, we have enough time. We can delay your execution. Now where do I start?Before you showed up at my house, sweetie, I already expected you. I was ten steps ahead at all times and it was fun watching you all play your part in trying to bring me down and steal my wealth. Hmm...I must have seemed really stupid and easy to you all.""But how...how?""How could I achieve all of that and steal look oblivious? Is that what you are curious about?" He smirked. "Ever heard of the B
My eyes widened in fear as I reached for my gun, moving my hand closer to the pocket of my pants. however, Hale's warning voice rang from behind me."Don't even think about it, if you do not want me to blow up your brains. What did I tell you, Ria?A day of reckoning finally came. Now, where is your prince charming? He's gone and left you all alone."His words struck me as I realized that Anthony could really be gone from this world."What did you do to him?" I asked and he angrily slapped my cheek from behind."I said shut the hell up, Ria. Still pining over him even at a time like this? What happened to you?"I knew Hale was not going to let me live but I wasn't going to make it easier for him. This was what I thought.I lifted my right hand, wanting to strike his face with my elbow, however, I felt a sharp pain in my head as he knocked me unconscious with his gun.As darkness slowly engulfed me, he covered the hood over my eyes and that was it.When I opened my eyes, we were at the
RIAAnthony stared at me and shook his head, "What is happening to you, Ria? We came here to have fun and not for you to become crazy. This is not funny anymore.""I wasn't trying to be funny, Anthony," I cried. "Why wouldn't you believe me? Why do you think I would joke with something like this?"He scoffed, "Believe you? Have you looked at the way you're acting, Ria? I don't get it, we came here to have fun and enjoy our lives, but you've been acting weirdly ever since we arrived.What do you mean by our lives are in danger? You're not making any sense." I nodded, "Okay, didn't you hear the gunshot earlier?"He smiled, "That sound earlier? That wasn't the sound of a gunshot.""Come on Anthony," I urged him. "Even you admitted to me back then that....."He shook his head, "Listen, Ria, let's not do this, okay? I don't know what is going on with you and you obviously don't want to share it with me, but I think you just need to rest and get yourself together, and you'll be fine okay."
RIAI was in no mood for what Anthony wanted. How could I be when the place I had thought would be a safe haven for us suddenly turned out to be easily accessible to our enemies? I still could not understand why the New Order found us so quickly and how they were able to see what was happening inside the villa. Did Anthony tell anyone about our trip? I was going to ask him about it. Perhaps he told someone close to him and there was a possibility that this was the same person who wanted him dead. But who could it be?My heart was still beating very fast. Nevertheless, I smiled and threw my arms around his neck, kissing him fiercely before going on my knees. I pulled down his briefs and looked up at him, our gazes locked briefly before I began to pleasure him.I opened my eyes almost two hours later and got up from the bed. I was exhausted not just because of the trip but also the rigorous sex Anthony and I had before I fell asleep. He was almost insatiable.Due to the kind of life I
RIAI opened my eyes when morning came and began to get ready for our trip. I had barely slept a wink because I could not stop thinking about Hale's next line of action. I had barred him from calling me but I knew that was not enough to stop him.I quickly made breakfast while Anthony got ready. We had breakfast together and began to leave. Anthony took my luggage from me, saying everything he needed was in the city we were heading to.Just as we got outside, I spotted Trisha who had just walked into the compound. My heart skipped when we made eye contact. In spite of everything Anthony had said about her, I felt guilty because now, Anthony was leaving her for good and that was because of me."Are you guys going somewhere?" She asked, staring at the both of us in surprise."Hey Trisha," I managed to say before heading toward Anthony's car.She scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Oh really? Feeling like the boss already? Bitch!"I ignored her words as I pretended not to have heard them."Wha
Hale could not believe what had happened. He stared at his screen in shock and called Ria again. However, she hung up on him.He threw his phone on the couch and yelled, "Bitch!"He paced up and down, trying to figure out what the problem could be. Did Ria's words mean she wanted to turn against the New Order or was she simply expressing her anger at him?He concluded that it had to be the latter. Ria was a smart girl and definitely knew the implications of rebelling against her superiors. He decided to calm down. Ria was eventually going to crawl back to him and that would be the perfect time to carry out his revenge.Meanwhile, Ria picked up some items from her bedroom and walked slowly towards Anthony's room. Her heart was racing because she knew what Hale was capable of. However, she had crossed a line she could not go back from and had no choice but to get herself ready.When she entered the room, she saw Anthony asleep. She stared at him and said in a low voice, "I'm going to p
