“Mam, who might you be looking for?” The receptionist in the company of Chris’s company asked Sherry as soon as she stepped in side the lobby of the company.
It was almost time for the work hours to be over so she was curious when a customer appeared at this time of day.,This was the second time she had visited Chris’s company since both of them were really busy in their own profession and work,The first time she had visited him was when they were engaged a year ago. Her dream of marrying the man she had loved all along was more than enough to snatch her sleep form her.So that day she had given a surprise visit to Chris. She had hoped he will be as happy as she was when he sees her but…The reality was different. He looked at her with aghast expression and even his responses were unnatural and forced.He even shouted at her to not come visit in his office as he detested his workplace being used to flirt and share love like that.“Heh…stupid me.” Sherry mocked herself for believing his words.Thinking about this was more than enough to bring a bitter taste in her mouth.“Miss, your identification?” The lady at the reception once again politely asked the lady before her who seemed to be lost in her thoughts.“Oh, right.” Sherry took of her sunglass in elegant manner which was neither flashy nor crude,’“I am the fiancée of your boss.” She gave a sweet smile. “We are getting married tomorrow.”Sherry had redone her makeup and hair before coming inside the company. Although she would love to present herself in ugly form to humiliate Chris, she still had her dignity as a proud and independent woman.She seemed like a professional lady, a woman with vision so the receptionist did not doubt the credibility of her words but she still could not help but run her mouth.“But miss, he has not said anything about marriage and such.” The receptionist was in charge of inquiries after all. If boss was going to get married than that meant it was a free day for the employees,But no such notice had been given to them till today.“He must have forgotten.” Sherry gave out a forced smile hiding the darkened expression in her heart and face.“He is a very hardworking person after all.” Sherry thought about how hard he was working in the bed trying to satisfy her best friend.“You bet miss. You are lucky you got him.” the receptionist was super excited as she expressed her worship towards the boss of her company.“Heh….I know I am lucky. Very muck lucky.” Sherry agreed with her without any restriction.‘So he hadn’t told anyone that he is getting married right?’ Sherry thought as she looked at the receptionist who was calling the president office.“Hello President.” The lady gave a slight bow as she smiled like a lark talking to him.“A lady claiming to be your fiancée has just appeared in the lobby. She says she is here for you.” The lady in the reception counted informed the boss in precise and concise manner.After putting down the phone she looked at Sherry with a polit and a little jealousy filled eyes.“He says you can directly go to his office.” She relayed the order of the boss.“Thank you.” Sherry thanked her ignoring the look in her eyes and made her way to the president room for the second time in her life.………………………..Chris looked at the table which was not messy enough since it had only been used for some minutes, He placed a cup of coffee, few files and papers and engrossed himself in the computer, glaring at the screen intensely.It seemed as if he was writing the formula of atom bomb; judging from the amount of wrinkles in his forehead as his eyes were squinted pretending to be busy, even though all he was doing was scrolling through the twitter and looking at the photos of some hot chic and babes.“Knock…Knock”The door was knocked from outside the door.“Come in.” He cleared his throat as he welcomed the person inside the office.Sherry, dressed in plain but smart clothes entered the room with her pencil heels clicking on the marble floor.“You are really busy honey.” Sherry approached the man slowly and sat in front of him.“Hey, darling~~” Chris was startled by her sudden intimacy in calling him so he also returned her the greeting using an intimate word but it came out rater oddly.“Sorry I have been too busy with work.” He winked at her in a flirty manner and came out of the chair.He walked towards her and extended his hand to hug her, to take her in an embrace.If it had been Sherry a day ago, then she would have jumped on him right now but after what she had seen and witnessed she felt his hug to be chains of restraints that was made for only suffocating her.“I wish you will make some time for me as well.” Sherry spoke in a whisper acting the part of poor maiden when he hugged her but felt her heart scrunch at his forced show of affection.Hugging was the only thing they had done as couple. She realized she even did not have a first kiss.All this time she thought they were waiting for marriage to have kisses and make love but she had finally realized it was her wishful thinking.How blind she was to not realize the real face of the scoundrel who had been cheating on her for so long.She could smell the premium jasmine perfume on him which was favorite of Bella. Tilting her head sideways she saw that there were hickeys on the inner collar of his neck.She was once again reminded of the passionate time they were having together, her heart burning with anger rather than jealousy.“I have time for you now.”Chris gave a charming smile but that had suddenly lost its appeal to her. In place of that she was reminded of the well crafted face of the man she fell on top of at the parking lot today which looked godly even though all she saw was his sharp jawline and high nose bridge making him look like a model straight out of fashion magazine.“Let’s go.” Chris pulled her out of her trance and gestured her to move with him.“Didn’t you say you want a new dress?” He asked with a polite smiley face as if he was a marketing agent from a bride’s gown shop.“Yes, after all its our marriage tomorrow.” Sherry emphasized each words, her mouth and lips curving up in a hooked smirk.POV Levian SmithThe room was dark with only a faint light that entered through the gaps in the plain curtain of the room. With a glance one could easily say that it is one of the luxurious room in the whole place taking all the furnishing materials into considerations.In the middle of the room was a large king sized bed covered in white bed sheet but right about now it was messy and crumpled as if someone had wriggled all over it.On the top of the bed, two naked bodies, belonging to a man and woman lied down sleeping. With a slight rustle of the bed sheets and quilts, the man woke up with a splitting headache, his eye dark eye brows knitted in a tight and painful frown.His ears were still ringing making it hard for him to think about the current situation he was in.The last thing he knew was he was attending a late night business party which lasted till 1 am and he was heavily drunk since many came to offer him drinks to bootlick and hold his thigh.
"Y-You..." Abby, the woman who asked him the question, was left speechless by what he said. After stuttering for a while at a loss of words, she stormed out of the room fuming in anger and humiliation. She wanted to say something more to him, but what he said was not completely wrong. He was as refined as a diamond, while she was a crude crystal that did not even hold a candle to him and his majestic presence. Levian looked with an expressionless and apathetic face at the young woman who walked out of the room with a flushed out and embarrassed face. Getting up from the bed, Levian stretched out his limbs and body, which was stiff for a long time. Talking about time, since the room was dark, he had no idea what time it was now. With a single swift movement of his hand, he opened the curtains, drawing the folds aside. The golden light of the evening sun fell right on his dark brown eyes, making him squint them a bit before they adjusted to the sudden brightness. “Fuck!! It’s alrea
“Ahemm..” Levian let out a cough to bring the woman back to her senses, hoping she would get off him. Responding to his cough, the woman was finally brought back to reality as she let out a horrified gasp. He looked silently as she slowly opened her eyes one at a time and finally met her trembling eyes. ‘Hazel eyes, beautiful!’ That was the first thing that came to his mind when he saw her bright eyes that were slightly wet and reddened as if she had been crying all this time. ‘Shit!’ Finally noticing her messed up massacre and makeup he realized she really had been crying but that ugly face of hers carried its own kind of charm that drew him in. “I am sorry.” The woman screamed at him and dashed off to her car and was out of sight without even troubling herself to help him. He felt a little sense of loss when she moved away from his body, but that was soon replaced with an amused feeling. He had never felt this excited in his whole life. “An ugly woman who tried to mess with m
“You look beautiful Sherry.” Bella entered her room as Sherry was preparing to wear her dress.“Bella..” Sherry’s face lightened up when she saw Bella entering but the images from last time came back to haunt her.“Glad you are here..” She gave an uncomfortable smile, which must have looked a little unnatural to Bells because the color of Bella’s face changed suddenly at that moment.‘Did she notice something off about me?’ Sherry wondered curiously.“You okay girl?” Standing up, she went to check on Bella who was just standing there.On the other hand, Bella felt a slight pain on her stomach ad there was a slight fetal movement as well.‘Did we overdo it yesterday?’ Se wondered while clutching her stomach. She was already starting to feel sweaty because of the pain.“Nothing is wrong at all.” Bella cheered up instantly in order not to get her suspicious
Bella watched in horror as Sherry made her way out of the door.“Wait…” Bella tried to call her but the same pain engulfed her stomach. Her voice was too thin and small for Sherry to hear so she did not realize Bella was calling for her.The bungalow of Lona Family was a large state so the wedding was going to take place in the villa itself.The main building was decorated with lights and flowers. Even the walls were painted in new colors. From curtains to bed sheets, sofa covers and carpets everything was changed.“Ahh..young miss. You look beautiful.” The maid of the house who was cleaning the room saw her coming out of her room and exclaimed in surprise.It was the oldest maid of the house who had been working for the Lona family since the reign of her parents.“Thank you aunt.” Sherry have always been loved by the oldest maid like her own daughter so she too loved her back as much as she did.“Ay
The aunt looked at the vase in her hand widening her eyes, her eyes slowly shifting from the vase to the old maid who was standing beside her.What was that doing there and how did Sherry found this out? She felt panicked in her heart.‘This bitch can’t even do any work properly..’ She cursed inwardly but she stopped herself and brought a smile to her face.“Ohh…this…haaha..” She laughed nervously as she fanned herself with her hands while she dabbed her hand on her forehead to wipe off the sweat beads on it.‘Things were not supposed to go like this.’ Her nerves were on verge of breaking at facing this unexpected turns of events.“Yes, This.” Sherry did not know anything about their inside plan but she was not a stupid to not know there was something wrong with everything; the house, her aunt and even this whole wedding.“Ahh…so what happened was..” Her aunt spoke sl
“Why are you acting this petrified?” Chris slowly approached the man.“Don’t tell me something is actually wrong?” Chris glanced at his sweaty face and those eyes which were averting their gaze from him.“No…everything is okay.” The master of Lona household, aka the man who was Sherry’s uncle unconsciously wiped his fore head once again. He had asked his wife to sort out things before there was any change in the plan.Fiddling with his finger he waited for his wife to report back to him all the while Chris closely observed the emotions flickering in his face.Something was absolutely wrong. Chris pondered for a while and looked at his watch. It was already the time for wedding which meant the deed must have been done already.‘Did they fail?’ He had doubts but he quickly waved it off because he was confident in his own plan. Taking into account Sherry’s blind love towards him and her na
“This marriage is cancelled.”Chris felt as if he was hearing things.Did she just say marriage is cancelled? From where in the fucking world did she have the courage to call off the marriage?Wasn’t she the one who was trying to get him to marry her all these years? She was chasing after him like a dog running after its master.‘This is not time to think about that.’ Chris cleared his mind of any other unnecessary thoughts and focused on the problem at his hands at the moment.Fuck the plan that was ruined…This was much more important for him.“Sherry honey what do you mean you are calling off the marriage.” Chris was trying to appease Sherry before trying anything else.Even if the plan failed, they could execute a plan some other time but it was only possible as long as Sherry was dancing in his palm.But with the marriage gone, tables were going to turn around for them. He could not let that
“Your Lordship.” Stephan knocked on the door from the outside as he waited for permission to enter the master bedroom. A few seconds passed with no reply.“Your Lordship?” He called him again, a little louder this time. After what felt like an eternity, he heard the lock click open from the inside. As the door swung open, he immediately fixed his posture, standing straight in an attentive position. “He’s still sleeping,” a woman in a loosely fitted silk nightgown said as she walked out, her dark hair falling over her shoulders and a lazy smile playing on her lips. She paused in front of Stephan, her siren-like eyes studying him. “You see,” she winked at him flirtily, “he needs to rest.” Her hand reached out to his neck before resting on his collar. “I can give you company until he wakes up,” she added with a seductive smile, but he didn’t react, maintaining his composed demeanor.“Tsk, boring!” she huffed, rolling her eyes before walking away and stepping into the lift to return
“You–you look,” Levian stuttered playfully as Sherry walked inside the room. Putting down the phone he was holding, he rose to his feet, waiting for Sherry to walk up to him.“Look what?” Sherry asked, suppressing the laughter that was about to escape her lips. Standing next to him, she gently tugged at the fake beard on his face. “This feels so real.”Levian helplessly sighed as he caught hold of her hands and pulled them away from his face. “You look beautiful,” Levian chuckled as he pressed his lips on the back of her palm. “Despite this, well, unconventional look.”After staring at her for a while, he added, “Pink suits you a lot.”“Oh really?” Sherry giggled. “You don’t look bad either,” Sherry added, gently patting him on his shoulder. “Just a tad bit older.”Roy scrunched his nose in disgust at the couple. They still had time to flirt around at a time like this.Apart from the fake beard and slicked-back hair that had streaks of gray, the prosthetics added sagging cheeks to Lev
“Sorry about what happened today,” Sherry apologized as she leaned back in her seat. She exhaled a pent-up sigh as she covered her face in her palm. She knew how important this party was for Levian. “It was not your fault, so don’t apologize!” Levian spoke in a low voice, suppressing his anger because he did not want to scare her anymore. Just thinking about how that bastard tried to misbehave with his wife made his blood boil in anger. “I should have never left you alone,” the words grated out of his mouth as he tightly gripped the wheel. “That son of a bitch!” If not for Sherry holding him back, he would have ripped off that little prick’s dick right there and thrown it to the street dogs to feed on.Even though he'd had a bit of wine, Levian was more clear-headed than ever. While Roy went to get the CCTV footage from the security team, Levian kept his eyes on Vincent. In the meantime, Sherry briefly mentioned how she met Vincent on the balcony and what went between them. When Roy
‘Vincent Troy?’ Sherry’s expression darkened almost immediately the moment she looked at him. ‘What is he doing here? Did he follow me?’ She tightly gripped her wine glass as she sidestepped away from the railings of the balcony while making sure her gaze not once left Vincent’s. Maintaining a calm face, she smiled at Vincent, “What a pleasant surprise, Mr. Vincent.” After making sure she was in a safe space she added, “I never thought I would see you after that day in the court.”“Fuck!” Vincent swore under his breath when he was reminded of how humiliatingly Sarah got divorced from him. Glaring at Sherry, he barked at her. “Watch what you say bitch!” The divorce trial in the court made him the laughingstock of the town. Along with his wife, he lost every asset he had in his name and was even disowned by his parents. As if sprinkling salt all over his wound, his father let him have the company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.Running his hands over his hair, he chuckled dangero
When the elderly ladies heard footsteps approaching, they stopped chatting and drinking. They tried to behave as casually as possible when they spotted Sherry walking towards their seating area with Madam Jasmine, even though they had been staring at her since she entered the dinner hall, acting surprised when she took a seat next to them. “Hello, ladies,” Sherry greeted everyone with a polite smile as she took one of the available seats. Madam Jasmine sat beside her and gestured to a waiter to bring over a drink for the new guest. By the time the waiter returned with the drinks, the group of ladies had finished introducing themselves. “Sorry, I don’t really drink,” Sherry quickly rejected the offer when a waiter approached her with a tray of wines. “I am not much of a drinker.” Her alcohol tolerance was notoriously low as she avoided drinking since she had to spend most of her time operating on patients. One of the ladies, Maisel, chuckled as she sipped her wine, "Don't be such a
Fleets of cars drove into the premises of Emerald City Banquet, where Victor Khas was hosting his party. The Banquet was lit with LED and fairy lights and decorated with flowers and sash wherever necessary. While the rest of the city prepared to retire for the night, the guests attending this exclusive event were just getting started. Unlike parties with stars from the entertainment industry, this was a private gathering for the city's leading businessmen and politicians. Therefore, maximum security had been arranged to ensure no paparazzi could enter, except for the designated photographers.Around 10 p.m., Levian and Sherry arrived at the banquet in a Rolls Royce driven by Roy. They were neither late, nor too early, and Levian loved this aspect of social gatherings like these.After all, it was all about making connections. The earlier you arrived, the more people you could meet and vice-versa. From that perspective, it made no sense for them to arrive earlier than necessary. By no
"Nice shot!" Levian clapped as Sherry hit the target dead center. Standing up, he walked over to her just as she was removing her headphones. She placed the gun on the counter and waited for him to approach.“I’ve improved a lot, haven’t I?” Sherry asked with a bright grin as Levian wrapped her in a hug. Pulling back, he chuckled before hugging her again. “Yep, you’re amazing.” And he wasn’t just saying that to make her feel better.Her precision was godlike. Now that she could handle the recoils of the gun, she could easily hit the target. Her focus was one-of-a-kind. Considering how she was the best neurosurgeon in the country, it pretty much made sense. She got better at handling guns than most of his men did and it had just been a week since they started!“Also, there was a call from Grandpa,” Levian said as they were preparing to leave the shooting range. “It seems Mr. Victor Khas is getting discharged today.” Sherry gave a light hum in response. It was better for him to recupera
“Whatever happened to strength training?” Sherry asked as she eyed the gun in her hand. She had expected wrestling or boxing training. Shooting practice was the farthest thing from her imagination. Levian chuckled. “This is better than wrestling,” he said as a man handed him a gun. He gave a light nod to the man. The men in black suits all left, leaving Sherry and Levian alone in the firing range. Pointing to a pair of headphones, he said, “Put them on, you will need them.” Sherry followed his instructions and fixed it around her head. Levian wasn’t wearing anything, but that was expected. He was used to this. When was the first time he learned to shoot? Sherry wondered as she watched him walk inside the booth and raise his gun, his attention all focused on the target in front of him. Bang! Bang! Bang!Levian fired three consecutive bullets, each hitting the pivotal area of the target–the forehead, the heart, and the lungs, while the third bullet lodged itself on the kneecap of the
“What were you talking about with Grandpa?” Levian asked as Sherry entered their room. After dinner, he had excused himself to his room as he was a bit occupied with his company’s work. He was seated behind a desk, working on his laptop after finishing dinner.“Just normal chit chat you know,” said Sherry as she sat down on the bed. Exhaling deeply, she threw herself on the bed, turning her head to look at Levian.Sherry noticed he hadn’t changed his dress. He was still wearing a white shirt, the one he had worn that morning. He had unbuttoned some of the topmost buttons, revealing his clavicle. Sherry gulped as she noticed the veins on his forearms that peeked out from under his messily rolled-up sleeves. “Mr. Smith,” Sherry spoke in a soft voice. “Are you trying to seduce me again?”“Seduce?” Levian raised his eyebrows, quickly faking a frown, “Looks like I need to teach you its real meaning.”Turning around in the chair, he gestured for her to come forward with one hand, while the
