"What the hell do you want!?" I asked and shoved his hands.
"It's already past one a.m and Diane said that we have something to talk about right!?"
"So what!? It is not that urgent!"
"So your job is not important either flirting important!?"
Everyone is already looking at us, even the ones who are walking while the others are taking pictures
"Nothing is flirting with that!"
"Let's go," he said calming himself and opened his car's door.
I entered the backseat and he started glaring at me and was about to say something, but he just let out a deep breath and ignored it.
"Why did you do that? And how did you found out my whereabouts?" I asked him as soon as we stepped on his office.
"You told Diane that you wanted to talk to me to clear things and to change your not appropriate actions to proper."
"Do you know how to wait, or what is the meaning of the word wait?"
"I told you I do not waste any time besides I'm your boss, so why would you want me to wait? Do not belittle me."
I calmed myself before answering.
I promised them that I won't be disrespecting this man again.
"Okay, Mr.Sapphirus I'm sorry for being disobedient also for not showing you any respect. I promised that this won't happen again."
"Call me Brigor," He said ignoring what I said earlier.
"Pardon?"
"Brigor, call me Brigor."
Is he sober?
"Now."
"Brigor," I said.
"Again," He closed his eyes.
What the hell? He's so strange and bipolar.
"Brigor."
He let out a deep breath and unclosed his eyes.
"You can leave now."
"Thank you."
Finally! The oxygen there is too low. I feel suffocated every time I'm around him, and it is making me so uneasy.
"What happened?" My manager asked.
"I told him that I feel sorry for my inappropriate behaviour."
"There are some pictures spreading around social media!" Diane said panicking.
"What is it--Holy shit!"
It's was a picture of me and Rogue then the other one is when I'm arguing with Brigor.
"What the hell Carol!?" My manager bawled can't believe what he just saw.
"I'm sorry!" I said covering my face using both of my hands.
"I told you to be careful and look at what you did again! You are giving us headaches and why are you acting like this Carol? You're seriously giving us a hard time. If I gave up on you I swear you'll reminisce all of what is happening right now and you will seriously regret it" He said, and went outside.
My tears started to fall down making Diane worried.
"I'm sorry," I said sobbing.
"Miss calm down..." said Diane while embracing me.
"I'm really sorry... I'm sorry for making you all disappointed... I don't know why I am giving you all a hard time."
"Calm down miss. Yes, you did wrong but it is not the end of the world yet. You still can correct everything by doing proper things besides no one is perfect."
"Do you think people will disgrace what they saw on social media?"
"To be honest... Yes, they will but miss you can change things into better."
"I am so unworthy for this job."
"No, you are capable for this job miss don't say that. You wouldn't be here if you aren't good enough to deserve this. Just because you made a mistake once doesn't mean you will be repeating it again. You just have to show people that you really are a good person, and that issue has nothing to do with you."
"But I have been issued twice."
"Miss... like what I said, the world is not ending yet it is not yet the last part of your story or anyone else's story. You can still do good things, you are a great person always remember that."
"Thank you so much, Diane you are showing kindness to me every time, but all I gave you is a hard time."
"It is fine miss as long as you are not hurting me," She said laughing and it made me laughed too.
"I will remember what you said."
Diane smiled and hug me.
"Go to your manager miss."
I went outside to find my manager and I found him at the library busy with his phone.
"Hey."
He did not glance my way, he just continued scanning his phone
"I'm so sorry"
"Do you think sorry can change every errors of yours into proper?"
"I know the word sorry can not change everything, but my actions can. I promise you I won't be a pain in the ass again and I will do everything to fix the damage I did."
"Do not make a promise, instead accomplish it."
"I will do it I swear."
"Carol, please... I'm begging you don't let this job sink. This is a very big opportunity for us three especially for you. This job will lead you to a better future."
"Yes, I understand and to be honest I don't know why I am acting like a sick child."
"Because you are used to being a spoiled brat, who is restless when she's not given what she wants."
"Well, it is your fault too though you were spoiling me a lot before," I said and laughed.
"I am but Mr.Sapphirus is different from me always remember that."
We suddenly stopped talking because Brigor's secretary showed up to call me.
"Mr.Sapphirus wants you in his office now"
I nodded and went to his office.
"Your secretary said you wanted me to come here. What is it for?" I asked.
He's in front of his table standing.
"Look," He throws all of the pictures on his table in front of me.
It was the pictures on social media about me, his stepbrother and him but there are more photos here.
"I promise that this won't happen again. I will do everything precisely and professionally. I swear I'll fix these problems. I'm really sorry sir..." I said and knelt down.
"Stand up," He said "I don't care about those pictures, fix my necktie."
"What sir?"
"I told you to call me Brigor, stop being formal."
He wanted me to respect him but he doesn't want me to address him formally? Is this some kind of joke?
"O-okay, Brigor."
He is seriously acting so unusual.
I went near next to him and fixed his necktie.
"Come closer," He said.
"W-what?"
What the fuck is he saying? And why is he acting so weird this looks like it's out of its place.
"Do you want me to forgive you for all of your sins?"
Lol, you're not a God to forgive the sinners.
"Yes."
"Then come closer."
I closed the distance between us.
He unexpectedly caresses my cheeks down to my lips.
"I like your lips."
I trembled in fear, he's dangerous this can't be.
"S-sorry, what?"
"I want it. It's soft and red as a cherry," He said looking directly at my eyes.
I cannot believe this.
He moved so quick to the point that I cannot do anything now that he is kissing me.
It's warm, the feeling is unfamiliar. This is scary this should not happen.
I pushed him away, but he is hard as a rock and he didn't even move an inch he just suppressed his kisses.
"I'm really sorry."
"I don't accept any apologies, I don't need loath. I'm not grubby," He said and pulled my waist to kissed me again deeply.
I just cried silently because I cannot do anything.
I feel cheap and contemptible.
Why is he doing this to me? I don't have any moral against him.
I don't want this feeling, I want to end this.
I want to escape and run away from it.
"Why are you crying? I can taste your tears, it's salty stop it" He stopped to ask.
I didn't answer him instead I just continued sobbing.
"Hey? What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I-I hate you... I don't like this, this is not good."
"Are you rejecting me?"
"Y-yes."
He started laughing like what he used to do before when I met him the second time.
"I did not ask for your affection, so why are you rejecting me?" He asked couldn't prohibit himself from laughing.
"Y-you are kissing me."
"You saw me having sex with a woman before right? It is not affection, it's just the same as this, what I am doing to you. It's called desire, earthly desire or a strong sexual desire"
My anger is slowly moving inside me wanting to explode and slap him.
And yes I did slap him so hard and it left a red marked on his face.
"Listen here woman," He said and tightly gripped the back of my neck "Since you are working under me I can do anything to you without complaining about it understood!? You have no rights in here. I am the ruler you all are just below me and you should be idolising me."
He let go of my neck and pushed me.
"Now leave! I want you out of my sight understood!? Including your manager and assistant, I want them out of my way. I want you all to suffer and beg for me to bring you all back. Don't let us cross our paths cause you wouldn't like what I'm going to do if that happens and as much as how you wanted to leave this place you cannot do anything. You signed a contract, remember that you can't escape from me and you will always be crawling back to me."
I run out of his office and his building.
I just want to leave that place. It feels hell and he is the ruler of that miserable place.
"Carol tell me what happened?" My manager asked, they went here because Brigor dismissed them."I don't know! He's acting really strange!" I said panicking."Like?""He k-kissed me, and then I stopped him.""Why the hell did he kissed you?""I don't know! He's acting so out of place! When he fetch me in the restaurant he was acting like a hero and then when he told his secretary to call me in his office he was swe-ugh! I can't say the word!""Sweet because he kissed you?"
"I will take this off on one condition.""What is it?""Come with me.""Where?" He asked and place his left hand on my thigh."Anywhere except this place.""Okay let's go," He grabbed my wrist and raised his hands on his friend as a farewell."Where are we going?""Anywhere except this place"As soon as we entered his car, he immediately removed my mask."I knew it," He said and kissed me passionately down to my neck"Wait," I said but he didn't listen "Wait!" I bawled and move my head in the opposite direction."What!?" He asked mad."Calm yourself.""Say whatever you want fast""Bring us back,""Yeah okay," He carried me and placed me on top of him
We were all shocked when he removed his coat and his polo.This guy is seriously insane."Is this okay?" He asked referring to his body.Nobody answered him cause their attention was centred on Brigor's body.I placed both of my palms on my face, ashamed of what Brigor did while the guy next to me couldn't stop his self from laughing."Damn Brigor," Zian said while continuously laughing."What?" Brigor asked."Superb Mr.Griffin," The manager said."What? You're going to remove me?" Zian asked chuckling."Yeah get out of there," Brigor said."Is this allowed?" I asked."Shut up and enjoy," Brigor said annoyed of my question.Why would they let Brigor change role with Zian? When in fact Zian was the assigned model?
"Mr.Sapphirus sent me here to give you these," She place three boxes infront of me, sizes ranging from small to large."For what are these?""For the event tomorrow.""Okay, thank you.""Also, Mr.Sapphirus said that he'll pick you up by four p.m and you don't have to worry about your work for tomorrow because he moved all of your appointments.""Should I fix on my own or he hired some makeup artists in his house?""Yes miss he hired someone and you'll come with him to his house.""Oh! Okay."The boxes have a logo named Experansa, which is an expensive brand.It has a shiny red gown inside, while the other box has a five inches red pump and the last one which is the smallest among the three boxes contains a necklace, bracelet and earrings.My jaw drop when I tried it out.
"Where are you?" He asked."Wait for me in my condo.""No, Where are you?""Why are you so stubborn!?" I bawled."Alright," He said and ended the call.I rolled my eyes and drove back to my condo.I saw him waiting infront of my door, arms crossed under his chest.I didn't greet him, I just passed by to go inside my place to get the gown and the heels he gave me."Let's go," He said.I looked down on his foot and followed his every step.When he stopped, I accidentally stepped on his shoes.I thought he was going to get mad, but he didn't, he just continued walking.Look at this two faced guy, for sure he will change his behaviour later on.We both are silent until we reach his car."
"Yes?" Asked the woman who's staring at me earlier "Do you have any problems with me?" She went near me walking passed the broken glasses.Everyone turned their heads in our direction."Nothing," I said to avoid making arguments."I think you have a problem with me."She grinned at me and I knew that she wanted to do something unacceptable that will embarrass me."Nah... I'm just shocked that's why my reaction was like--""Shut up! You wanted to pour your drink on me that's why you did that!"This bitch."You're the one who bumped me. Stop inventing words," I said and smiled"You're--""What's wrong?" Brigor interrupts, checking on me."Nothing. Let's go," I said and grabbed his hands to go back to our sits."Did she do anything to you?""No, I thi
"Hello, who's this?" I asked the unknown caller ID."Hi, sweetheart! This is Brigoure Cyprus Hale, don't be panicked I got your number from your manager.""Oh! Good morning sir""Good morning.""Why did you call sir?""I just want to know how my son is doing? Did he ate breakfast?""I'm not yet at his office sir, I'll tell you once I am.""Okay, thank you so much.""No worries sir.""Don't call me sir, address me as Uncle alright?""Alright, Uncle.""Take care sweetheart and please look after my son.""I will, Uncle."He chuckled and ended the call.Now, everything is making me confused. I want to know everything about Brigor, I wanna know what happened between him and his family.&nbs
The door opened and I can discern how happy Uncle Brigoure is."So you asked me out because of this?" Brigor asked.I nod slowly because I was guilty of not telling him.He looked at me for a second and went inside without complaining.He sat at the centre of the table, while Uncle Brigoure is on his right side."S-son..." His Dad called him."Shut up or I'll leave this shitty place."I feel bad for Uncle. Brigor should be considerate of his words because Uncle Brigoure is still his Dad."O-okay then, let's eat."I smiled at Uncle to cheer him up cause I knew that he got hurt from Brigor's words.Brigor is focused on his food while his Dad keeps glancing at him."Can you stop peeking at me? I mean stop glancing. I'm not begging you, I want you to stop.""Sorry, I can't j
"Why are you doing this to me!? To us!?" I heard my Father bawled to express his anger at my Mother."I don't love you! You knew that since the very beginning! I was just forced in this marriage because of the agreement between our parents!""I don't care if you don't have affection towards me, but please do have some to your son!""I've been taking care of him for a lot of years and all you did was to work and attend gatherings related to your work!""Because it feeds us and it gives us everything! So, don't belittle my job!""I don't want to be in here! You knew that I still love him, but you pushed yourself! You didn't care about my feelings! You only care about yours!""So, you're doing this because you still love your ex? Does he love you?""Yes, I'm p-pregnant, Brigoure," My Mom said and my Dad started to laugh like a mentally ill person.
"You're up next, Benevolent," The Director said.We're having a live runway to promote lingeries. I was cast to be one with the models who are cast since I am a well known Glamour Model in Italy and I'm one with the stars who get paid a big amount of euros because of modelling.A piece of slow music started playing while I am walking gracefully in the stage. My eyes widened when I saw Brigor in the middle of the stage sitting in a VIP chair while Brice is on his lap smiling widely while shouting my name, but Brigor scolds him that made me almost laugh.Brigor raised his brow at my body while moving his jaw continuously.I smiled when he moves his gaze on my face, but he just raised both of his brows while in his usual deadpan emotion.I turned and walk back to exit the stage.The runway ends within two hours and all Brigor did was to raise his brows and scowl
"Hey, wake up... We'll depart now," A tone of a deep voice said while wriggling me carefully."I'm still sleepy...""They're waiting for us.""What? Who?" I stood up quickly because I was hoping that it is Brice who is waiting for us."Your Aunt and our son.""Where?""In your house," I laid my back again on the bed aggressively when I heard what he said "Hurry up they're waiting for us. Your Aunt prepared lunch."I scratched my head before standing up harshly."Damn, you haven't changed.""What!?" I bawled."Chill..." He said and raised both of his hands to surrender.I wasn't able to sleep last night and I don't know why. Maybe I was excited or not? Well... I don't know. All I know is that I'm pissed.I went out of his room wearing my unusual expression.
The sun is about to set. I stood up and removed the over-sized shirt I am wearing.I can discern how Brigor's people looked at my body. I wonder what Brigor was thinking when he saw my body, is he amazed or bored with it? Since he's been fucking a lot of different women.I shrugged from my thoughts and laid down on the sand while watching the sun goes down.It's been three days since Brigor left me to check on his fiancé.I'm eager to leave this place and hug my son, but when?When will he free me from being imprisoned in this land surrounded by a large body of abiological thing?I was enjoying the view when someone stood up infront of me."Mr.Brigor wants you to stay inside your room, Miss. Let's go," It's the old woman again. The senior among all the maids in his land.I remember her answer to my question 'Does her fi
It's been a week since Brigor is imprisoning me here on his island and he left me here for more than two days up until now hence he has a bunch of tasks to do in his company.All I did was to lock myself inside the room he gave me and plan an escape.I'm free to walk around, but I won't.I hate this place.I'm missing my son so bad.What about my job? What will happen to my clients?There's another island where I can call for help, but it's too far and there's no boat in here since Brigor is riding a chopper every time he comes and leaves.I stood up and leave the room.I went to the kitchen and stood there for a minute before grabbing a knife.I hid it behind my back as I find his maid.I saw one and she's cleaning the living room."Good afternoon, signora Carolina," S
"No! Remove this! You fucking asshole!" I bawled when he placed me on the king-sized bed.I run as fast and far as I can, I ceased when I saw a white sports car going towards my direction. I need to ask for help, I can't run anymore. I'm full of bruise and scratch from what I did.Damn, my manager will be so mad. I raised my hand to stop the car, I thought it won't, but it did. A tall man wearing a brown racer jacket and black shiny pants went near me. "Thank God! I think I rode a wrong SUV, they're acting weird," I said as he walks towards my way. In a swift motion, he handcuffed both of my hands and carried me inside his car. "What's your plan!? Why are you doing this!? Where are we!?" I screeched."Damn, that mouth!" He bawle
Brigor went closer to take Brice from me, but Brice is keeping a firm hold on my shoulders.I can see how desperate Brigor is to hold Brice, but his child doesn't let him.He let out a deep breath before giving up."Prepare your lawyer, let's meet tomorrow in Damaris building. I'll schedule an appointment," He said and left the room.I freed the water inside my eyes, I sob when Brice sobs. We cried for half an hour before leaving the place and going back to our house."Mommy, he bad guy," I smiled and shook my head from side to side."Brice, he's your Daddy.""No, Mommy. Daddy Valerius is my Daddy.""No, Daddy Valerius is Mommy's friend.""He's my Daddy.""Listen, Daddy Valerius pretended as your Dad because Daddy Brigor, the guy we met earlier is in another country bu
Despite the argy-bargy meeting, the chairwoman's plan to collaborate me with Brigor in a magazine shoot succeed, as what the majority of the members in the meeting wants.Since I suddenly left the Griffin without telling the public media, people want to know what's going on between me and Brigor, they thought Brigor did something bad to me that's why I left the country and it made him lose some of his stakeholders.So, to make it easier for them to accept that Brigor is now engaged with someone who isn't me, they'll produce a magazine that has a story between me and him.But the story is going to be made up since the reality of our memories before is a misery."I don't get it," Valerius said."Same as me," I said annoyed."Let those people believe what they want, why does he have to brag you to clean his name?""Wait, set aside those negative point
I was stunned and unable to react, it's him, Brigor.Brigor is continuously reviving his son.After a minute Brice coughed out the excess water from his throat that made him choked."Brice," I said as I remove his wet coat and fix his hair "What did I tell you!? I told you to stay quiet before we got here right!?""I'm sorry, Mommy..." He said while crying.I hugged him before caressing his face."Are you alright?" He nods before hiding his face on my shoulder."Remove his clothes, he might catch a cold," Brigor said and took off his top coat."What do you feel?" Brigor asked Brice.Brice didn't answer instead he hid his face."Is it cold?" I asked Brice."N-No," He answered."What happened?" Valerius
