Catherine Hart, Cat, had first met Kate at TAC Limited. Catherine had come for an interview for the job of a secretary at the Chassis department. She and some others had been waiting patiently for their turn; there were still 10 people to Catherine's turn. Catherine was about to give up, she was really tired and hungry, and the interview of the woman who had just entered was taking longer than expected. Remembering how much she really needed the job she decided to wait some more. Finally the woman stepped out, making everyone let out a sign of relief but was shocked to see their employer right behind her. “Thank you everyone for coming today, but your presence won't be needed anymore you may all go home now”, the man announced, gesturing at them to leave. They all stood up, staring at each other dumbfounded, the confused look on their faces not missed. “Go home, but they haven't been interviewed yet!??” Were the thoughts on their mind. The man hissed annoyed, seeing as they sto
Charles glanced at his wristwatch, an hour after lunch break and still no sign of Taylor. “Was she still avoiding him”, the thought made him annoyed, “but that couldn't be right, Taylor wasn't the type to let her personal life interfere with her work”. “Stella, tell Miss Miller to come to my office immediately”, he instructed over the intercom. “Yes Sir “, Stella responded, before the line went dead. A knock was heard on the door, followed by the clicking of the knob, as Gracie stepped in, closing the door behind her. “You called for me C….”, Gracie said, wondering why her cousin suddenly wanted to see her. “Where's Taylor?” Charles interrupted her, tapping his fingers on the desk, his back relaxed on his chair. “I don't know....”. “Gracie!....” Charles groaned, in a warning tone. “Where's Taylor?...”. “Isn't she back yet”, Gracie answered, with a raised eyebrow. “What do you mean back, did she go out?..”. “Yh, she did”, Gracie nodded, walking towards Charles.
WEDNESDAY It was the last day of August. Kate was going to present her first design to Charles and all the other Heads of Departments. She had taken the rest of the day off on Monday to help Catherine settle in, and told Jack she would be coming in late on Tuesday morning, as she had followed Catherine for her first day at work. By the time she had gotten to the office that day, Charles wasn't at the office nor did she see him for the rest of the day. Jack had told her, Charles' schedule was busy for the day so he won't be able to come to the office but Kate didn't believe him. “He was probably avoiding her, because she had been avoiding him too…. childish”, she thought, but their hide n seek game ends their. Kate stood beside the stage, as she watched the technical team set up the projector. The meeting was going to start soon, as the heads of departments arrived one after the other. Soon everyone was present except one person in particular. Kate checked the time on
BACK AT DONOVAN CAR ENTERPRISE, “The end”. The slide stopped playing, and the room became bright once again. Kate took the seat at the end of the table, opposite Charles. “Excellent”, thought the heads of departments, as they all had approving smiles on their faces. “What do you think Mr Donovan?” Kate asked, turning to Charles. Since she had started the presentation, he hadn't said a word, just occasional nods. “Wasn't he satisfied with her design?” she thought, getting nervous. Everyone else turned to Charles, patiently waiting for him to speak. Charles relaxed in the chair. “I must say Miss Cosgrove, I'm impressed”. Kate felt butterflies in her tummy from Charles' praise as a proud smile formed on her face but soon turned to a frown hearing his next word. “But…”. “He just had to add a but…”, she grumbled, in a low tone. “But what Mr Donovan?” Kate asked, trying to maintain a calm expression. “The cost and materials to make the car…..”, Charles pointed out in his
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
“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
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
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
Rose couldn't believe it. She replayed Old Man Donovan words in her head. “I'm not calling off the engagement”. If everyone was stunned by the news, she was shell shocked.She was sure the Donovan's were going to call off the engagement, then afterwards Old Man Andino would throw her out of the house. Her happy life would have ended in the blink of an eye but none of that happened. Looks like the universe was on her side.She was currently back in her room at the Andino's mansion. Of course after what happened there was no way she'd go back to Deluxe.Luckily she had already packed her bags with her when she came to the mansion in the morning, so there was no need for her to go back there anyway.She heaved out a sigh of relief allowing herself to fall freely on her bed. “Gawd she missed her bed”.“They're engaged, soon there will be the wedding bells”.“If there's one thing she found out today. It was that Old Man Donovan was her biggest supporter, and with him on her side no one wo
Charles parked his car in his family parking area, stepping out, locking it, while whistling a tune, clearly happy.He couldn't stop thinking about why his grandpa had wanted to see him. “Could it be__ if it was really what was on his mind then he needed to personally thank whoever leaked the news about Rose and that asshole's affair to the media”.“Sir, they are in the inner living room”, a maid informed him, as he got into the house.“They?” He wondered. He nodded at the maid before walking to the inner living room. The room was only used for family meetings and other important family events.His mood turned sour, seeing a familiar dark haired bob present in the living room when he got there, the other family members of the Andino were also present.“You're here”. Old Man Donovan was the first to notice his presence, the others turned to look at him.“Yes grandpa”, he answered before turning to glance at Rose who gave him a weary smile.“Take a seat”, Ryn gestured to the empty sofa
“You did it!” Catherine cheered, as she glanced at Kate.“Yh I did”, Kate grinned.“You've successfully ruined Rose and Kyle's image. You need to see the comments, the netizens are going wild”, Catherine added. “How did you do it anyway?”.“I've got some tricks up my sleeves”, she smirked. “And she might have had some help from Alex”, she didn't say the other part out loud.“Had she probably gone overboard by getting their s*tape”, she thought, sceptic. "Maybe".“I wonder what your family and the Donovan’s will say once they see the post and video”, Catherine said, bringing Kate out of her thoughts.Catherine was right, what would they say? Her mind had completely skipped that part.Now that she thought about it, would her grandpa kick Rose out of the house which meant she won't be part of the family anymore - she hoped not. She still hadn't gotten her revenge on Rose. And the Donovan’s, will they call off the engagement? Charles won't be engaged to Rose anymore.“And then you can hav
Bryan and Stephanie made their way to the garden, not finding Old Man Donovan in his room. A maid informed them she had seen Old Man Donovan in the garden, and there he was sitting on the rocking chair, drinking his favorite green tea.Taking cautious steps towards him, when the old man spoke, stopping them in their tracks.“I know why you're here”. He had been expecting them after all.Both husband and wife glanced at each other, before taking hurried steps towards him. “Father you need to call off the engagement”, Stephanie was the first to speak.“And why's that?” Ryn asked nonchalantly, not bothering to look at them. His gaze focused on the flower field in front of him.“Dad you won't be pleased if I tell you this but…”, Bryan spoke this time.“I've seen the post son”. Ryn confessed, interrupting his son, rather calmly much to their surprise.“And?” Stephanie asked nervously, feeling uneasy about her father-in-law's composure. “Or was it just the calm before the storm”.“Yes__”.
“Kyle”, Rose frowned, sitting up. The duvet wrapped loosely around her chest, showing off her cleavage.Kyle turned to face his bed at the mention of his name, spotting Rose, very much naked under the duvet, her hair messy, and hickeys on her collarbone – he bet there were all over her body – a sign of what happened last night.He let out another curse, running his hand through his hair before turning to a displeased Rose. “He was really done for now”, he thought.“There's a problem”, he said, his eyes not leaving Rose as he buttoned his shirt.“Problem?” Rose asked, not understanding. Was that why he was leaving so early without having his bath first!. “If it was his problem why was he telling her?”“Yes”, Kyle answered, grabbing his car keys, not waiting to explain the problem to Rose.“Check your phone”, was the last thing he said before leaving the room, making a confused Rose more pissed.“What was it with him this morning”, she hissed, running her hands through her messy hair.
If Old Man Andino had really thrown her out of the house, she won't still be going to the office, and it would have made the headline - ADOPTED DAUGHTER AND FUTURE HEIRESS OF THE ANDINO FAMILY KICKED OUT OF THE ANDINO'S MANSION - but there was no such headline so it had to be the latter.“Rose had left the house to live with Kyle, interesting - now that will make a headline”.The video Catherine took would be really useful but she needed more - a video of them in the act. They had been having sex under everyone's noses, time for the whole world to find out.“Then the Donovan's will have to call off the engagement. Charles won't be engaged to Rose anymore and he'll be yours”, a voice sang in her head.Kate swore her heart fluttered at the thought, and even did a happy dance in her head. She shook her head to brush off the thought.“It will also be a good present for her ex best friend and ex boyfriend”.“What do you plan on doing?” Catherine asked, bringing Kate out of her thoughts.“E
Gripping the steering wheel, imagining she was strangling Curl’s neck, no, his d*ck, castrating him. Let's see if he'll still be cocky, when he's stripped off his manhood.She was heading straight home to soak herself in a long honey and milk bath, the thought made her ease her grip on the steering wheel. And that was exactly what she did.Catherine got into her room, kicking off her shoes, her clothes soon followed after, forming a pile beneath her feet. She walked out of her clothes, careful not to step on them. Getting the bathtub ready, not bothering to go about her ritual like she normally would, soaking herself in. The face of a devastating handsome man popped in her head. Curly dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes, pointed nose, defined jawline, clean shaven. Yeah, she noticed and so what.And yeah it was because of his curly hair she nicknamed him Curl. Yes! She was bad at coming up with nicknames, not her fault.He wasn't as handsome as Kate's Handsome Devil – Charles. Still he was
Kate closed her eyes and then opened them again in an attempt to shut the voice in her head.“If anyone is going to know how Rose got the virus and who sold it to her, it's her”, she reasoned. “If we can find out who bought the virus, and gave it to Rose. Then we'll be able to prove that Rose was behind the accident, and not some brake failure”.The others nodded in agreement at Kate's reasoning, but Charles still had a contemplating look on his face.Kate turned her front to Charles, taking both his hands in hers. “You want justice for Kate don't you? Then do it for her and my sake”, she coaxed softly.“And maybe this might be your chance to have Rose out of your life permanently”, she added, only to their hearing.“Taylor was right. This might be the solution he was looking for to end his engagement with Rose. If he could get solid evidence that she was behind Kate's accident as they suspected, the engagement will be called off. Deal or no deal”.“Fine I'll go”, Charles cupped the s
Andrew?” Charles asked, as they rode the elevator to the cave unlike the first time Charles had driven them there with his car. “Yes”, she answered with a nod “Work?”. Kate nodded again, their conversation ending, neither of them spoke again as silence took over. The elevator stopped with a ding, they both walked out, going deeper into the cave to find Alexander and Gracie already waiting for them. “There they are”. Alexander was the first to notice their presence. Gracie turned to look at them suspiciously, not saying a word. Kate avoided Gracie suspicious look, she didn't need the latter to speak to know what was going on in her mind “So Alex, why did you call us here?”. “Good question Taylor”. “Get to the point”, Charles hissed. “Buzzkill”, Alexander muttered. “Last time we were able to conclude that a virus is the cause of Kate's accident”. “Which we confirmed with the real test report”, he added, turning to wink at Kate. “So?” Gracie probbed, a bored expression on he
