WARNING: MATURE CONTENTThe days had flown by quickly, it was Friday already. Kate couldn't believe it was almost 2 weeks since she arrived at City S.And her first week working at Donovan Enterprise was almost over, it was 3:30 pm.She and Charles had already talked about what they wanted to achieve in the next 6 months. They've concluded she'll design 2 cars, one design will be ready at the end of this month and the other the next month. At the end of the month, a meeting will be held to present the first design.As for their relationship, Kate didn't know what to call it, they weren't lovers to say they were dating or friends to call it friendship. Heck! What they did was more than what friends do.Kate couldn't help thinking she was one of those secretaries in the novels having a scandalous affair with her CEO boss, making out whenever they were alone, and acting professional in public. Except she wasn't a secretary or had any feelings for the CEO boss like the secretaries in the
"Shit", Charles cursed angrily, they both stopped."Boss an uninvited guest is coming, she's about to barge in any seconds from now", Jack informed.Not long after they both heard the door bang open, a voice was heard."Charles, I'm here," the person announced.Charles groaned displeased,"it just had to be her".“That was Rose's voice", Kate thought, confused. “What was she doing here, did she know Charles”, she wondered.Charles stared down at her; they still hadn't moved from their position."You should go see who's there", Kate suggested gently pushing Charles off her.Charles signed exasperated, he straightened his shirt then looked down at the bulge in his pants.Kate followed his line of sight then walked up to him, wrapping her arm around his neck. "Am sorry".Charles placed a chaste kiss on her lips, "it's not your fault, I'll be fine", he assured, cupping her chin.Kate frowned at his answer but nodded anyway, "you should go, I'll be out soon".Charles nodded."What do you me
"I'm claustrophobic, the elevator triggered it and caused me to have a panic attack", Kate confessed with a sign, she wasn't lying, after her accident she indeed became claustrophobic and avoided enclosed or small places. Charles wasn't satisfied with her answer, how could her phobia trigger a panic attack. "If Jack hadn't informed him in time...", Charles closed his eyes, not wanting to think about it. There was something she wasn't telling him, he decided to let it go for now."If you want to use the elevator you can ask me or Jack to go with you or Stella, ok"."Ok", Kate nodded smiling. "Where is Rose?"She asked, seeing as they were the only ones in the room."She must have gone", Charles replied nonchalantly."So how was the talk?"."Trust me have had better", Charles signed, not wanting to explain.Kate nodded, wanting to ask further but decided not to, wrapped her arms around his neck. “We are alone again", she said with a knowing smile, she brought his face closer to hers."N
Kate eyed him surprise, "of course he would know", she thought with an eye roll. She'll just have to trust him."Taylor, you need to be careful. Charles is a dangerous man and can't be trusted, he isn't as honest as he looks", Felix warned seriously.Kate stared at him confused, she could feel her uneasiness creeping in again, she shrugged it off."Let's just go"."Sure", Felix opened the passenger door for her, he got into the driver's seat.Kate sat down at the back seat, she couldn't stop thinking about what Felix said, and just shrugged it off.At Oriental hotel,Charles paced to and fro in his suite, he still hadn't talked to Taylor and the party had already started, just some floors below his suite.Today he had been so busy he couldn't call Taylor and now he was free, he still couldn't call her because he didn't have her number- her private number.Charles groaned frustrated, no matter what he had to make sure he told Taylor before it was announced.Jack looked at his boss with
"No, you are definitely mistaken "Kate denied but deep down she wished it was true."Trust me girl, I know my cousin better than anyone and he definitely has a thing for you. If I were you I'll take my chance before someone else does", Gracie whispered the last part.Kate bit her lower lips unsure, "should she?", She thought. "Kate are you really thinking about it", a voice in her head chided."She and Charles were just attracted to each other and nothing else, nothing romantic could ever happen between them", Kate thought with a sign but couldn't help feeling disappointed at the thought."I doubt it Gracie"."Hmm suit yourself", Gracie shrugged, "could you please excuse me for a sec"."Sure", Kate nodded as she watched Gracie walk away, leaving her alone."Why the long face beauty, if you are looking for company, I’m the right guy".Kate heard someone say as she turned to her side to see Kyle giving her a flirtatious smile."Just great", Kate thought with an eye roll ignoring him."C
"The honor is mine Mr Donovan and thank you", she said to Bryce before facing the crowd. "It's my pleasure to work with a great company like Donovan Enterprise,as they don't think about the profit alone, rather satisfying the comfort of the driver, making cars safe for people to drive and that's the main objective of TAC Limited. I'm looking forward to what both our companies will be able to achieve now and also in the future, thank you", Kate got down from the stage, the crowd gave her a standing ovation."Thank you Miss Cosgrove and the pleasure is ours. Meanwhile, the second announcement will be made shortly, enjoy the party everyone", Bryce announced, getting off the stage."Miss Cosgrove..".Kate turned to see Charles at her side, Rose beside him. It felt weird hearing Charles address her like that since she was used to him calling her Taylor."Mr Donovan", she stared at him then at Rose who gave her a sly smile. This wasn't how he wanted them to meet. "Was she angry or hurt",
Charles....".Charles captured Taylor's lips in his swallowing the rest of her words, he pressed her back to the wall, holding her in place.Kate was surprised at the sudden kiss but that didn't stop her from responding back, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer towards her."Gawwd darling I missed you", Charles said, breaking out of the kiss, giving her ass a squeeze.Kate moaned. “Yh you did", she said with a chuckle."You look hot as hell in this dress, too bad it's going to be in pieces soon", Charles whispered in her ears, kissing her earlobes.Kate moaned, "I can't wait", she said seductively, her hand ran down his chest stopping at his belt, a naughty smile on her face.Charles' breathing hitched, he had promised the first thing he'll do when he meets Taylor was to talk to her, but the beast in him had already been woken up, he wanted her badly."I need you darling now", Charles groaned as he pulled Kate to a door, she didn't notice was there, they both got in.
Sunday, the next day.Morning at the Donovan mansion.Charles stared at his grandpa, his mind far from what the Old Man was saying."Explain yourself?", Ryn demanded angrily, holding out his phone for his grandson to see.Charles shrugged.Ryn hissed at his grandson's nonchalant attitude, "what will your fiancee think?"."Does it matter, moreover she was aware?" Charles answered calmly.“Excuse me….”, Ryn choked on his grandson's words.“Don't you have any shame, what will the world think? You were having an affair with our business partner”."I never cared about what the world thought, so why should I start now", Charles answered, tapping his foot impatiently.Ryn shook his head. “Fine, don't care about yourself, what about her, what about her reputation?".Charles groaned, running his hand through his hair. “His grandpa was right, he was being stupid right now. What about Taylor, she was involved in the scandal too".Charles whipped his phone out and dialed a number, "Jack, I want y
At the Andino’s Mansion.Tiffany was walking down the hallway, stopping at a familiar red door. It had been two weeks since Rose left - time really does go by quickly - and she wasn't back yet.She walked away from the door, wiping a tear off her cheek, she hadn't noticed fall off her eyes, taking the stairs she went to the living room.The quiet house greeted her, it was always like that during the day. Rose at work while her husband locked himself in his study, doing whatever to "give them a comfortable life", he says.But now the house had gotten more quiet, dull, less vibrant - lonely, just like her over the years.Nowhere to go, Nothing to do. Only the ticking of the grandfather clock accompanied her in the quiet house. Tiffany had decided to quit her job as the finance director, after giving birth to Kate. Being the first child and daughter it was only normal for her to work at FastTech Limited after college. Her decision had come as a surprise to everyone, especially Old Man
Kate stared at Charles, lying weakly on his bed, looking pale. They were at Jade's resort at Charles' penthouse, as the latter had refused vehemently to go to the hospital, no matter how hard she tried to persuade him. Kate shook her head, “for someone ill, he knew how to put up a fight”. With Jack's help, they brought him to the penthouse, while the latter had left to get Charles' doctor. Kate walked over to sit by his side, taking his hand in hers. It was the first time she saw Charles weak and vulnerable. It made her scared. “Was he gonna be alright?” She thought, forcing back tears. The thought of Charles' condition getting worse made her sick to her stomach. “It was her fault”, Kate muttered, her head hung low, staring at their hands. “Don't be silly. I'm human, and I get sick too”. Kate raised her head to see Charles wide-eyed, “You're awake”. “I had to, cause it seemed someone thought I was dead already”, he groaned. Kate helped him sit up, she chuckled, sniffli
“Rose doesn't have the connection to get the list of owners by Monday. It will take at least 5 business days before she gets them”, Kate explained. “And I'm guessing Rose found the earring on either Wednesday or the Thursday you had seen it. So we've still got time to execute our plan”. She turned to Catherine with an affirmative look. “Leave it all to me”. “Good”, Kate nodded. “Now get out of my car”. “Hey! No kiss goodbye”. Catherine crossed her arms, pouting. Kate gave her an are you serious look, arching her eyebrow. “C'mon I was just joking”, Catherine smiled sheepishly, getting out of the car, grabbing her handbag. Kate watched her walk into the building, a worried expression on her face. “Oh God please take care of Catherine”, she prayed. She trusted Catherine and her capabilities, but was scared of what Rose would do to her, if she got caught. Kate let out a sign, about making a U-turn to leave, when she heard a knock on her car window. “Grandpa”, she uttered surpri
“Did you find out what you needed?” Jack asked his Boss, as Charles walked out of Rose's office. Charles shook his head disappointed, heading to the elevator, with Jack following closely behind. “Taylor mentioned Rose having something to do with her past, but Rose clearly had no idea who Taylor was. What was he missing?”. The elevator came to a stop at the reception floor, as the doors slid open revealing a familiar face, waiting outside. Charles stepped out of the elevator not breaking eye contact with the person. “Mr Donovan”. “Mr Bruce”. Charles eyed Kyle, who gave him a smug smile. “I see you came to visit your ‘fiancée’ ”, Kyle said, stressing on the last word, reminding Charles he was engaged. “No wonder Rose was in a bad mood when she had called a few minutes ago”. Charles' eyes turned dark, maintaining a calm expression. “Stay away from Taylor. She will be mine and just focus on making your fiancée happy before someone else does”, Kyle grinned, before turning to the
“For you”. Charles handed her the plastic bag. “Thank you”, Kate nodded, collecting it. Charles wrapped his arm around Kate's waist, pulling her in for a kiss. “Make sure to take the medicine and eat afterwards”. “I will”, she nodded, blushing. “See you tomorrow darling”. Kate watched Charles walk down the stairs to a Ferrari Roma where Jack stood, before closing the door. She placed her hand on her chest, feeling the fast drumming of her heart, threatening to burst out of its cage. She checked the contents in the bag, a tint of pink appearing on her cheeks, taking small steps towards the kitchen. “Looks like someone has been shot by cupid's arrow”. Kate turned to Catherine, who sat on one of the kitchen islands, munching an apple - the second one, momentarily forgetting she was here too. “No I'm not”, Kate denied, vehemently. “Yh right”, Catherine grinned, making a heart sign with her hand. Kate rolled her eyes, placing the plastic bag on the kitchen counter
Charles gently nudged Kate to lie down, without breaking their kiss, his upper body hovered above hers. He moved his mouth to her neck, sucking on it. He heard her whimper, causing his cock to jerk in his pants, straining against the zipper. Charles groaned before capturing her lips in his again. His hand went under the duvet, finding its way between her legs. He rubbed on her inner thighs. Kate moaned, clamping her thighs on his hand. She heard Charles chuckle, before forcing her legs open again, teasing her. She arched her back towards him, wanting his hand to go deeper. Charles couldn't help grinning, his mouth trailing kisses down her neck, as his hand went deeper, brushing the wetness soaking her underwear. She moaned underneath him, her toes curling in delight, digging her fingernails into his back. “She was wet for him”. “Charles”, Kate moaned breathlessly, moving her hand down his chest, stopping at the band of his pants, when she suddenly felt her hands pinned
Kate watched Charles walk towards her, crouching to her level. “Better?” He asked, concerned, stroking her back gently. Kate nodded weakly in response. “She shouldn't have drank so much wine”, she hissed, rubbing her forehead, feeling a headache. “C'mon let's get you sober”, Charles spoke softly, a teasing smile on his face. Kate nodded, allowing Charles to pick her up bridal style out of the bathroom. She didn't have the energy to protest anyway. He placed her gently on the bed in a sitting manner, placing the duvet over her legs, then gave her a glass of water from the night stand. “Thank you”, Kate muttered, handing Charles the cup back. “What time is it?” she asked, her voice coming out as a whisper. “It's 11 in the morning”, Charles answered. “The next day already! ”, Kate thought, shocked. “Work!?”. Charles could already guess what she was thinking, seeing the expression on her face. “Focus on resting today. Come to work tomorrow, okay”. “And you? Aren't
“Where are we going?” Kate mumbled, as they got into the elevator. Charles pressed the button to the underground parking lot where his car was parked. “Home”, He answered, sternly, as he watched Kate nod before nestling her head on his shoulder. The ride down was quiet, as none of them spoke. Until Kate started humming a tune while stroking the side of his neck. “Stop”, Charles groaned in a warning tone. Her humming didn't annoy him. It was her touch leaving a trail of fire on his skin, making him more hard than he already was."He needed to get her home fast". The elevator came to a stop. He walked over to his car. Opening the front passenger door, placing Kate in carefully. “Lie down”, he instructed, strapping her in before walking over to the driver's seat, buckling his own seat belt. “I missed you….”, he heard her say. Charles halted what he was doing, turning to Kate, her big sapphire eyes already staring at him. “I missed you”, Kate repeated, longing in her tone. “I w
At Jade resort, “Don't tell me you're still annoyed at my cousin because of what he did”, Gracie said, laughing. Kate rolled her eyes at Gracie, crossing her arms over her chest. Charles had canceled her date with Kyle for the day, not allowing her to speak before dragging her away. Yeah! she didn't like going on dates with Kyle, but she certainly didn't need Charles' help to deal with Kyle either. “D*ckhead”, she muttered, as eyes searched for him in the room and they found him, sitting lazily, away from everyone else, a tumbler in his hand, casually swirling it. The sleeves of his shirt rolled to his elbow, showing off his muscular arms, his hair slightly disheveled with some strands at the side. His chest hair could be seen due to the first three buttons of his shirt left undone. He had a carefree aura around him, sexy and yet powerful. “My cousin is hot, isn't he? A fine species of men”, Gracie whispered in Kate's ear. Kate turned red in embarrassment, caught red-handed by
