"Maybe I did something wrong" Hera voiced out to Mariam worriedly, she massaged her hands nervously with slightly furrowed brows."And what exactly did you do?" The older woman inquired expectantly. She had been with her ever since they got back from the game. Hera has been in a black mood and she didn't know how to console the little woman. She had wanted to sympathize with her but how could she do that when she doesn't even know what could've caused the problem in the first place.All Hera did was sign occasionally and blame herself ever since she got back. She had refused to disclose what must've happened at the game. Did they fight or was it worse than what she might be thinking?"I won't know how to help you if I don't know what's wrong Hera." Mariam held her hands and squeezed gently "So if it's that big of a problem then you might want to tell me first. What's wrong?""I don't know..." She trailed off, her eyes downcast as she gazed at the floor instead of the woman's face. Sh
Bryce couldn't do it.No matter how hard he tried to, he couldn't kiss her back. Hell no! Whatever exactly is wrong with him? He had always been the one to jump on an opportunity like this one. Natalie was offering herself on a silver platter right in front of him but some some weird reason, he seemed uninterested. This was as far as he could go.He was slowly loosing his mind and he could tell. He was almost at the verge of insanity. This couldn't be him? Something definitely was taking control over him. How is it possible that he couldn't think straight and why couldn't he get it up? Fuck it! He was screwed.Natalie continued with the kiss while his brain kept on firing different questions at him. Compelling him to stop whatever he was doing. Feeling frustrated, he snatched his lips away from hers and took another swig of alcohol. Maybe he wasn't drunk enough. But then again, since when does he need to get drunk to sex a woman? He had never attempted such a feat before and even if
Bryce was in the shower when he heard soft whispering voices. He paused to listen. At first he had thought that it was only a figment of his imagination but when it came again for the second time, he was convinced had to agree to the fact that someone was in his bedroom. Was it Nella?It can't be Nella. She always called and asked for permission whenever she wanted to see him or come over and they haven't really spoken to each other for days now. He would've said that maybe his house was being robbed but the girly giggle didn't sound like a robber. Whatever it was, it still didn't change the fact that there was someone in his bedroom.He quickly finished with his bath and tied a towel around his waist then he reached for the other one that was meant to dry up his hair before stepping out of the bathroom.There, he came face to face with the woman whom he had been avoiding all evening. Her back faced him so she didn't know that he was standing behind her. Was this supposed to be anothe
Bryce stared down at the temptress sitting down in front of him. He had warned her to quit staring but she had refused to. Should he kiss her? Maybe have a taste to get his brain working again. Would she let him? This was a battle between himself and his over raging hormones. God, what sort of punishment is this?You brought in a hot lady from your church and placed her in my household. You already know that I'm addicted to sin. Is this your way of telling refraining or encouraging me to continue? Bryce thought to himself as she looked down at her puckered lips that was in a frightened pout.They looked so inviting. This woman had turned him into a patient battling with insanity. He hasn't had a decent sleep in ages and the worst part of everything was that he hasn't screwed anyone ever since she made that open declaration of being friends.He needed it so badly but how could he do it when it wasn't going to be with her. Call him crazy but he wanted her. He needed her. God the blood i
Hera felt a little hurt when he pulled away from her. Why would she be hurt in the first place? He did a good thing by stopping whatever he wanted to do right? Why then did she suddenly feel bad about it? If he hadn't stopped when he did, she was a hundred percent sure that she wouldn't have been able to stop him. Trying to stop him from kissing or touching her was like trying to stop a bee from getting attracted to honey which was utterly impossible, to say the least.Her hands instinctively went to her shoulders to touch where his lips had been earlier. She felt the multiple goosebumps as they broke out on her skin. An active volcano has erupted inside her no doubt. She pulled up her fleece jacket to cover up herself while her other hand held onto the donuts a little tighter. If she didn't know any better, she'd say that she was squeezing the life out of them."Ready?" Bryce's voice boomed and she jerked back to reality. She must've been thinking to the point that she didn't hear h
Hera knew the exact moment that Bryce left for work. He didn't stop by her house or anything but she heard his car driving out of the mansion when she had woken up earlier to pray in the morning. The fact that he didn't come to her apartment was enough proof that he was mad at her. She knew deep down that he was somehow upset but the fact that she doesn't know why was eating out on her.They had just begun talking again so why was he upset? She only mentioned going out with him. It's not like she wanted to sacrifice him or something.And he had refused to tell her what she did wrong. How was she supposed to pacify him if she didn't even know where to begin?Placing the already washed dishes in the sink where they belong, she stepped into the bathroom to have her bath.When she was done, she sluggishly walked into her bedroom and pulled out a simple dress from her closet. She examined it thoroughly before putting it on. It was no longer news to her that her day was already ruined in th
They arrived at Bryce's company and Hera suddenly decided to wait for Mariam in the car. Somehow she doesn't feel the need to see him let alone talk to him. She was still convinced that he was still angry and didn't want to talk to her."Are you coming?" Mariam had asked the minute they arrived but she shook her head slowly."I'll just wait right here for you Mariam." She answered "I don't think it makes a difference if any of us goes up to give him the file."Liar! Of course it does. She wanted to see him with the excuse of giving him the file but deep down In the pits of her stomach, she felt unsure and a little bit frightened to do so."Of course it does. Come on. I won't let you sit here all by yourself!" Mariam reached for her hands and slowly pulled her out of the car. They made their way past security and into the building. When they arrived, they were greeted by his secretary who was typing away on her laptop to give a single care in the world."Hello!" Hera greeted with a pl
"Are you okay Hera?" Mariam asked for the umpteenth time when she noticed that Hera had been washing a particular dish for more than ten minutes now. This had never happened before and so when she saw her doing so, it took her by complete surprise. Hera nodded in response to her question."I don't think you are" Mariam argued visibly. Come to think of it, when she had come to take her grocery shopping earlier, she wasn't looking as excited as she always was. And when she came out of Bryce's office, she looked sad and her facial features were more hard to read thto earlier.Did something happen in the office that she wasn't aware of? And why is Hera keeping it away from her in the first place? Why isn't she saying anything about it? She's not good at pretending to be fine when clearly she wasn't."Hera!" Mariam tapped her shoulders lightly causing her to flinch. The bowl slipped off her hands and came crashing to the ground breaking into a million pieces.Hera crouched down to pick up
"Is everything okay?" Hera asked Christina worriedly as they cleared up the table together after dinner. Bryce was somewhere around the house with Max and Christina had offered to help Hera out even though Hera had told her not to worry about it."You've been awfully quiet ever since we sat down for dinner and it's crazy because you are never quiet Christina. You love to chat and talk about a lot of things. Are you okay? Is something bothering you?" Hera pressed on while Christina only managed a smile."Of course, sis. Everything is okay." She beamed in reply. "I just wasn't feeling chatty during dinner and besides, you used to scold me whenever i talk during meals so what changed so suddenly?""I know." Hera breathed out. "I just want you to feel comfortable here so i don't mind if you're chatty. I know that it wasn't easy coming all the way here and i just want you to settle in nicely.""I am settling in nicely." Christina assured her sister. She definitely wasn't moody because of di
Max stared down at the little woman that looked at him with a cold expression, standing in front of him. What are the odds that the woman he had encountered today at the airport would end up being his best friend's sister in-law. For the life in him, this wasn't exactly how he had mapped out his evening to go.But can you blame him? Lots of women had played out the supposed 'bumping into him' trick just to get him to notice them so how could've he have known that she was genuinely telling the truth about not wanting anything from him?Women always wanted something from him and they went through great lengths to get it as well. It's a well known fact at this point. If he wasn't filling their cunt with his dick and making them scream out his name at the top of their voices then he was satisfying them in other necessary areas.They always wanted him and it's not like he was complaining about it. It's always a win-win situation for both parties at the end of the day which was why he had a
"Hey man." Bryce's voice filtered from behind her as he came to greet Max at the door and Christina shifted from the door to the side when they shook hands and made her way back to the dinner table without uttering another word. What could she possibly say anyways?That his friend was the one who had assaulted her at the airport. He had made rude and nasty advances at her? Maybe she should just go ahead and tell Bryce that his friend continuously made a pass at her and offered himself up for tasting if she was interested in joining him on his bed. That would be quite a story to share with them over dinner wouldn't it?Somehow, She couldn't stop thinking about how Bryce was friends with the type of man and the fact that her sister calls him family. Does Hera know about him or was she oblivious to the truth? The more she gave it some thought, the more anxious it made her."Christina are you okay?" Hera had asked when she noticed how quiet she had become. Usually, she would've been askin
Christina's plane touched down at the airport hours later. After clearance and getting her luggage, she made her way past security towards the arrival section. The sisters at the convent had told her that she'd be picked up at the airport upon arrival.She looked around the airport, waiting and hoping patiently that she doesn't run into that man and that she leaves before they both spot or come in contact with each other again. She had caught him having sex against her will. Who knows what he might do to her if he finds out that she was still here. She had already rejected his advances once and he might think that she was onto him.God! She just wanted to get out of here fast and call it a day."Hey kiddo!" Someone called out to her and she darted her eyes towards the direction of the voice that waved at her. A wide grin broke out on her face as she rushed into his arms, hugging him tightly. It was Bryce."Big brother!" She squealed in delight. She wasn't expecting him to pick her up
"Christina, are you fully packed yet?" Sister Martha called out to her from outside her bedroom as she placed the last pile of clothes into her box and zipped it shut. She had made sure to pack her things for today's journey since last night so how come she's still struggling to finish last minute? What else was she forgetting?"Just five more minutes sister Martha. I'll be down in a bit." She answered back as she tidied up her room in a hurry, putting the rest of her stuffs away from the bed and stashing them up nicely inside the closet.Today was finally the day. She had waited a whole year for this and now, it was finally happening. She was moving to the big city at long last. She had passed her papers and a few weeks back, she had been accepted into the college of her choice. Everything was finally falling into place thanks to Bryce's help.She made to pick up her bags when a familiar portrait caught her attention. Slowly, she walked over to her dresser and picked up the framed eng
NINE MONTHS LATER....Hera sat up on the bed after her long rest. She and Bryce had both decided to officially tie the knot after her delivery which was due anytime soon. She stared at the ring on her finger and the images from that night flooded her memories. She could clearly remember that day as though it were yesterday. Bryce had gotten down on one knee and promised to marry and love her forever.She guessed that's all there was on marriage and soon after the baby is delivered, they will be joined together as man and wife. She had been feeling down that she would bring a baby into this world without going about it the right way but he had assured her that her fears were valid and had decided to do it right way. The godly way. The thought of that day approaching had her grinning from ear to ear.Christina and the sisters had paid her a visit as well during the latter stages of her pregnancy. Christina was very ecstatic about being an aunt. She couldn't wait for the day she gave bir
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Hera snapped her eyes open the next morning to see Mariam standing there by the side of the bed as she stared at her with a face full of smiles. She forced herself up with a smile to hug her. Feeling like she was forgetting something, she turned to look at bed in hopes of finding him asleep but he wasn't there.There wasn't a sign of him. Mariam wouldn't have walked into the room if he was there so where could he have gone without telling her? He always informed her before going anywhere so she was a little surprised that he wasn't here to wish her a happy birthday. He had promised that he would spend the day with her. Did he lie to her?"Ma'am, did Bryce leave for work already?" She asked innocently. "He promised that he'd be at home today.""I'm so sorry Hera but Bryce got an urgent call from work so he had to leave quickly." Mariam informed her. "He wanted to tell you but you were sound asleep and he didn't want to wake you up. He felt really bad and that's why he a
"Yes please make sure that everything goes according to plan and smoothly tomorrow night. Don't forget to keep me updated on everything. Okay bye." Bryce disconnected the call as soon as he came out of Hera's ward. He had accompanied her and Mariam to the hospital for her checkup and while they were at it, he had excused himself to take a call in regards to Hera's birthday surprise. So far, he was utterly and totally stressed but it was worth it.With a smile on his face, he dipped his hands into his pockets to reveal the small box. For some reason, he has been carrying it everywhere not wanting to put it down even for a second. He opened the box and stared at the beautiful engagement ring resting there. He carressed the ring with his finger as he imagined how beautiful it would look on Hera's hands before putting it back into his pocket.He was trying his very possible best to have everything under control before tomorrow evening so that he would be fully prepared to celebrate Hera's
"What do you think of this?" Bryce asked Max who was busily flipping through the papers on his desk as if his life depended on it. He had noticed that his best friend has been incredibly busy these past few weeks with work and business travels that he couldn't help but pity him. Regardless of his whore side, Max had always been a hard worker and takes his job seriously. "Do you think that Hera will like it?"Max looked at him wearily but his face is quickly replaced with shock, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets when he saw what Bryce was trying to show him. It was a goddamn engagement ring in a beautiful jewelry box. Max couldn't believe it. "Y-You want to propose to Hera? You want to get married?"Bryce smiled cheerfully when he noticed that he had gotten Max's full attention. "Yeah. I've spoken to the sisters at the convent and I've made my intentions known to them. They gave me their blessings too.""This is a huge step Bryce, even for you." Max reminded him, standing up
