“Are you okay?” I heard someone ask from behind me, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned around to see who it was and it turned out to be one of my colleagues, but I didn’t have the time to try to explain anything to them. “Yes. I am,” I mumbled before walking away. My chest felt heavy and I my breath caught in my throat as I walked through the crowd, trying my possible best not to barge into anybody. I finally got to the door and let out a sigh of relief even if my chest was still tight and walked to the elevator. When I go to the hallway that led to my room, I heard a familiar voice and I froze in place. “Leaving so soon?” Ryan asked, his voice smug and the opposite of the usual polite and nice tone he used to talk to people in public. My hand fell from the door knob and my face paled, I started praying that he doesn’t try anything stupid with me. “What do you want from me, Ryan?” He walked closer to me and leaved against the wall before his dark eyes trailed over my bo
“Is that a threat?” I asked, my voice icy. He tilted his head, his smirk never faltering. “Call it a warning.” “Whatever,” I said to him as I rolled my eyes. “Amanda, you’re going to end up being on the losing side. Just warm up to me and see how I can make life so good for you,” he said convincingly and I was taken aback by the change in his home. Not less than a minute ago, he was threatening me and now he wants me to be on his side? I let out a scoff and turned to him. “The only person I know who’s going to lose is you Ryan.” He didn’t say anything and we just stared at each other in silence. I took that as my cue to leave since the discussion was now over. “Now if you’ll excuse me-“ I moved to my door and tried to grab the handle but he reached for me instead and grabbed me by my wrist. I froze in place because of the unexpected pain from how tight his hand was on my wrist and my breath caught in my throat as I started panicking. “Don’t you dare try to walk away from me whe
“Damien… wh- what are you doing?” He didn’t answer, instead he rocked himself into my ass, causing me to moan before I could stop myself. “Damien,” I hissed, my voice a sharp whisper. “What are you doing? We’re in the middle of a hallway!” He leaned in closer to me and he whispered into my ear, his breath warm against my skin. “Nobody except us is here, Amanda,” he let out in a husky voice. “And even if they were, do you really think that I would let them see you like this? See what’s mine?” I stiffened at his words, torn between indignation and the way my body responded to the possessive edge in his tone. “I’m not yours,” I replied him but my voice was weak. “Keep telling yourself that,” he mumbled. “Even if your mouth says you’re not, your body is saying otherwise.” I opened my mouth to argue, to say something but the words caught in my throat as he bunched up my dress and slipped his hand into my thighs. “But someone could see-“ I trailed off, ny eyes widening as he tore my th
I whimper as my body clenched around his dick which each dirty word he said.“Fuck,” he growled. “You’re so fucking tight. Relax, baby, let me move freely.”I tried to do as he said, and gradually my muscles loosened. Damien pushed deeper, inch by inch, filling me until I didn’t think I can take any more. Then he pushed even further and the tension inside me snapped. I let go completely, allowing myself to be take over by the new sensations that were coursing through my body.“That’s it, beautiful. You feel amazing.” He released a ragged breath. “You are amazing.”I closed my eyes, my heart expanding even more at the emotion I was sure I can hear in his voice. Moving slowly at first, he allowed me adjust to him before he picked up the pace. Once I started moving with him, he wrapped one arm around my waist while his other hand found my clit again, rubbing it with the perfect amount of pressure. He forged deeper into me with each flex of his hips, his tempo picking up until the spark o
As I watched Damien walk away, I couldn’t help but hurt by his words and I couldn’t fit the love of God figure out why. But, I quickly pushed the thoughts away before gathering myself and walking to my door, I finally opened the door and I slipped into the room. The weekend passed by slowly and it felt like torture. I was burning with anticipation and I spent most of the days imagining the look on Ryan’s face when the media houses finally aired out his dirty secrets. Finally, it was a new week and I practically glowing with joy as I prepared for work. It was a Monday and even though everyone dreaded going to work, the picture of Ryan getting embarrassed and questioned by everyone was the only thing that gave me motivation. Ryan finally getting disgraced was all that was on my mind as I left my apartment and headed to the office. Immediately I walked into my office, I was notified that we had a meeting. I dropped my bag and walked to the meeting room. Damien was already seated at t
“No,” I replied sharply as I rested my head against the door. “Go away.”“I am not leaving here, so just open the damn door,” he said in a firm but kind voice. “Let me talk to you.”“There is absolutely nothing to talk about,” I replied him in a bitter tone. “You saw what happened. Everyone saw.”“And I’m here to check on you. I swear that I’ll fix it,” he said. “So please just open the door.”I thought over his words and I realized that it wouldn’t hurt to listen to him even though I wanted to be alone. I slowly got up from where I was sitting on the floor, turned around and unlocked the door before opening it for him to enter. Immediately Damien walked in, he closed the door gently behind him before he turned to look at me with a serious expression on his face. “You don’t look so good,” he said bluntly but his voice was filled with concern. “Is that so? Thank you so very much,” I replied him as I folded my arms across my chest. “That is exactly what I needed to hear right now.”“M
“Just go,” I said with a shaky voice. “Why do you even care?”“Why do I care?” He repeated, looking at me with confusion. “I just came to check on you and also talk to you.”I let out another laugh as I stared at him dead in the eyes. “What exactly do you want to talk about with me? You already decided to be my savior so I don’t understand what you want.”He clenched his teeth and cocked his eyebrows at me. “Why are you always doing this?”“Doing what?” I snapped.“You always push me away whenever I try to help you.”“Help me?” I asked him as I walked closer to him. “Damien, let’s not act like you care about anything other than the sex we’re having whether it’s in the bed or against the walls or or your desk or wherever you decide to fuck me.”He straightened before walker closer to me with a clenched jaw. “That is not fair, Amanda.”“Isn’t it?” I shot back. “Weren’t you the one reminding me of the terms of our agreement last time we had met at the hotel? You said we shouldn’t interfe
When we landed, a driver was waiting for us and by the time we finally got to his house, it was already dark. His house was big and beautiful but it also felt cold and empty, just like what would be expected of him. His house was the only one around the area and it was on top of a hill, and I couldn’t help but wonder why he isolated himself.The driver took out things inside and Damien led me into the house with his hand on the small of my back. The touch was light but it sent sparks that I tried to ignore all over my body.“This is going to be your room,” he announced as he led me to a beautiful and spacious room that looked more like a suite. “Make yourself comfortable.”“Thank you,” I said to him before walking inside and looking around.He stood in the doorway with his eyes on my body. “Dinner would be ready soon, at most an hour. Don’t be late.”“Okay, I’d be there,” I replied him, giving him a fake smile.His eyes sparkled with something I couldn’t quite recognize and he smirked
AndrewI always knew I loved Anna. A few months had passed since Am- sorry Emma and Anna reunited, they had been spending so much time together and I could help but love how much they were bonding. Emma was back at work and even if people didn’t know she was the Amanda, they still loved her. Work had been going so well and even Damien was different, seeing our boss involved had shocked us all but we loved the change that came with it. Emma was happy and I was happy with Anna too. Our love had waxed stronger and it was practically impossible to separate us. She was more than my girlfriend- she was my world, my peace and everything precious I had in the world. Every time I looked at her, I knew she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, the one I wanted to wake up to each morning and the one I wanted to bear my kids and annoy forever. And I was fully ready to take things to the next level. I wanted to marry her.My mind was made up, so immediately I got home after
AnnaI couldn’t stop looking at the woman that was in front of me. She walked closer to me and wrapped her hands around me, pulling me into a hug and that was only when I realized that it was real and I wasn’t dreaming. Emma- my Emma was really standing in front of me.She was alive and well after all these years. I had cried and looked for her every day even after I was told she bribed in the fire, I had refused to give up on my search for her because they provided me with no body.Only after searching years did I stop, and now she was standing right in front of me. She was alive, just like I had believed it, I wrapped my arms around her tightly, tears welling up in my eyes as I hugged her like my life depended on it. “Emma…” I managed to say, pulling away from her and holding her by the shoulders, staring at her intently. Her eyes were glistening with tears and her lips trembled as she tittered my smile. “Let’s go sit,” she said in a soft tone. “I need to explain everything.”I g
AndrewAfter Amanda and I planned out how things would go and how she should meet Anna, she finally left, happier than she had come. I was grateful that she was safe and they things had turn out amazing for her. Immediately Amanda left, Anna had called me and told me how busy she was and that she only had a few minutes for break and she decided to check in on me. I assured her that I understood and I took that as the right opportunity to ask her out on a date, using the excuse of her being stressed out and we could use that time to destress while spending time with each other. She agreed and we ended the call. I immediately called Amanda and told her about what I had planned, she thanked me profusely and I ended the call, going to get ready for the date. After I was done dressing, I got into my car and headed to Anna’s apartment. When I got there, I got down from my car and walked to the door with some flowers I had picked up on my way there. “Okay, you can do this, Andrew,” I sa
Andrew “I find it hard to believe you,” Anna finally said, her voice cracking. “If you were able to hide this from me, what more are you hiding from me?”“I’m not hiding anything from you, Anna. I swear it,” I replied her. She didn’t reply but she turned away from me and started pacing around the room. I looked at her silently, waiting for her to say something. I had been so worried about Amanda and I had said what I shouldn’t have and now I had angered her, I prayed silently, hoping that she would forgive me. “Anna, please,” I murmured again. “Just listen to me.”She stopped pacing and turned to face me, her blue eyes filled with uncertainty. “Do you swear, Andrew? Swear to me that’s there’s nothing more to you and Amanda expert being friends.”I quickly got up and walked to her, taking her hands and holding on to them firmly, my eyes locking with hers. “I swear by everything I have, Anna. There’s nothing. Amanda is just a friend and that is what she would forever remain.”“Prom
Andrew “I’m sorry okay?”“Apology accepted,” I replied, mirroring her smile. We pulled away from each other and she went to turn on the TV picking movie of her choice like I had asked her to.We sat on the floor, my legs open and her in between them, resting on my chest as we watched the movie. We watched the movie for a while before we started talking about other thing, barely paying any mind to the movie that was playing. “Do you want more cookies?” She asked, picking up the plate and bringing it closer to me. I grinned. “If I eat any more, I won’t fit into my jeans tomorrow.”“Your loss,” she teased, biting into one herself.This was what I loved about Anna- things with her always felt so easy, so natural. But with Amanda, it was the opposite, I still couldn’t wrap my head around how they were related, they were different. Anna sat up before turning and facing me directly, bending her head slightly with a small smile on her face. “So… how’s Amanda? I haven’t seen her around
The air was filled with a suffocating tension as I drove, I held on to the steering wheel tightly, driving through both empty and busy streets trying to get to the location Amanda had sent me as fast as I could. She was sitting beside, silent and nervously staring out the window. I knew how badly she wanted to save Damien, it was weird to me, when she had left the office without a word, he didn’t even look bothered or try to reach out to her. But here she was, trying all her best to save the man that could have possibly killed her father. She didn’t mind, all she wanted was for him to be safe, even if he’d never get back to her. I admired her and how trusting she was because she was going to meet a guy names Jay. I didn’t know why, but the minute she mentioned his name, I started feeling weird about it because something about the man even though I had never met him seemed suspicious. I tried telling her but she brushed it aside and said he had always helped her. I wanted to stop h
After I settled into my apartment, I showered and had a change of clothes then headed to Damien’s house, I wasn’t going waste anymore time or let doubt could my mind. I was going to do this now. I needed to tell him everything. Damien’s house loomed large and imposing as I approached the gates. My heart pounded with each step. Would he even let me in?The guard at the gate must have somehow recognized me and he allowed me through without hesitation. I walked to the front door of the house, my hands shaky and my stomach in knots. Hesitantly I ringed the bell, expecting the maid to come open the door but, instead, it was Damien who came to open the door. My breath caught in my throat as I stared at him and for a moment, none of us said anything. “Amanda?” he finally spoke up, his voice soft and filled with surprise and an emotion I couldn’t quite place my hands on. I let out a small sigh. “It’s Emma,” I said softly. “And I came back… for you.”His eyes widened in shock me he moved
Damien’s words kept replying in my head over the weeks that passed. He was right, I had to live my truth if I really wanted to make things right. There was no need in pretending to someone I wasn’t, I had done that for a reason and even if I had been successful with my mission. I was still unhappy and I felt bitter. If living my truth was what would make Damien forgive me or even come back to me, I didn’t mind. But, most of all, I was doing this for myself. I needed to reconnect with my family and give myself the chance to be happy. I booked an appointment with the surgeon that had changed my face years ago and started packing my things for the trip to Miami. A few days later, my trip was booked, my bags were packed and I headed to the airport. The flight there was long but it was worth it, I hated traveling but I had to do this. Immediately, the plane landed, I ordered a ride to the hotel I had booked down and I didn’t bother resting before I headed to the clinic. I alighted
Few days after Jay was arrested and I was saved from almost dying, it was aired on the news. Apparently, Jay was not what he had painted himself to be to me. He was evil and sinister, in fact he had been diagnosed with a mental disorder and was supposed to be treated but he didn’t get help. All he wanted was revenge, just like… me. They had also raided the creepy looking building he had been staying in and they had found the documents that contained all the necessary information to prove that Damien was innocent. Jay had it all this time but still lied that we had to go to the warehouse just because he wanted to get rid of me, he knew Damien was innocent but was blinded by revenge that he wanted him to suffer no matter what. A tear slipped down my face and another and then another. I was now fully crying and I just couldn’t stop myself. My life was messed up, no one in it was good and I feared that the one person that might’ve been the truth would want nothing to do with me. I wa
