JULIE“You can actually leave without me, Adam. I don’t want to waste any more of your time. I mean, we can always do this some other time” I tried to get myself out of the situation.“Like I already told you, Julie, I’m not about that lifestyle anymore. Heck! I don’t even know the next I’d get that chance to go hang out with them again. So, it’s either now or till God knows when” He explained.“Alright, Alright” I gave up.It didn’t seem like was going to give up anytime soon. He was hell bent on taking me along with him and in as much as I knew I needed that time out to relax, I didn’t want to come off as desperate or easy to get. Hence, the whole declining of his offer.I took out my phone and put a call through to Lisa, but she didn’t pick up twice I called.“Not picking?”“No, she’s not. Seems she’s really busy. Those kids can be a handful. I’ll try one more time”“Maybe you should let me try from my end”“No, you dare not!” I said to myself.“I don’t think that would be necessar
JULIEShe drew much closer to Adam, as if to get into his body. I watched in utter disgust how Samantha shamelessly threw herself at Adam. It was like she lost her dignity whenever she was around him. It was obvious he no longer saw her as that same girl he used to be crazy over, but she was too blind to notice all that. Probably, somewhere in her head, she could still win him back.I enjoyed the sight; seeing her make a fool of herself over a man that gave zero fucks about her, made my skin crawl, but also excited me. I was glad she was acting the exact way I did when I was still head over heels for Adam.“I’m listening, Samantha. What’s the problem?”“You know… Since the incident ended, I’ve not really had enough time with you” She started.“Enough time with me?” We see each other everyday at the office. You literally walk into my office every hour. So, what are you talking about?” He asked.I knew what Samantha meant and I was damn sure Adam also knew the angle she was coming from
JULIE“You are the boss, Adam. Why do you keep acting like one of the janitors? Why don’t you hand the work over to one of the staff you trust? I’m sure Max would be more than capable and even willing to do it. Why always killing yourself?” She said, ran her hands through his chest, then continued.“Hand it over to someone else and come have dinner at my place. We could do it at your place. The choice is yours and both the meal and the chef are yours to devour” She winked at him, which made me almost throw up. That bitch has lost every atom of decency in her!“I don’t think you understand, Samantha. This isn’t something anyone else can handle. Maybe some other time, we’ll meet up for dinner. But tonight? Won’t be possible” He said.“I don’ think you know what you’re missing, Adam. Or is it because of her? Don’t tell me you’re back with her”“For fuck’s sake, I am not back with anybody, Samantha. And that should be the end of this discussion!” He snapped.I could see the rage in his e
JULIEWe finally got to the bar after the long ride. By then, the atmosphere got discarded of the scene Samantha and I made. Adam maintained a straight face throughout the ride, that it was very obvious to detect that he was still pissed at what happened back at the office."We're here! My favourite spot to be when I need some time to cool off" His mood lightened."Carl's Place?" I called out, then continued."It's quite surprising your favourite place to ease off isn't the numerous strip clubs scattered all over the city. Not even the clubs or casinos. I might have doubted you when you claimed to be a changed man""Julie, I am not going to put in efforts to convince you that I am no longer into that lifestyle. Whatever thoughts you have of me are all in your head and no longer valid""Well. Still not convinced" Truly, Adam's character had changed from what I knew him to be. He was no longer a fan of things I used to know him for. I had been back at his company for months and I neve
JULIE"Oh! Your girlfriend" Gustavo quickly released his grip on my hands.I was in shock. I made a lot of things clear before we got down from the car, but I never imagined Adam would introduce me as his girlfriend. He wasn't drunk yet, so he definitely knew what he was doing. He wasn't teasing them either, because he kept a straight face while still letting them know I was his girlfriend.I tried calling his attention to it, but decided against it. There was already a lot of scenes that day and I was in no mood for more."Well, welcome to our place of Solace, Julie. Like he said, I'm Tim, this is Alvin over here and Mr Romantic trying to snatch a brother's girl, is Gustavo" Tim introduced."Thanks a lot, Tim. It's nice to meet you guys too""I must say, you must be one powerful lady. I mean, to be able to hold Adam down isn't an easy feat" Alvin said."Yeah. It's been a long while we saw him. We always thought he was too busy with work, not knowing there's a lady in the picture. Lit
JULIEIt's been about a week Adam connected me to Madam Morello. I had followed her up like she asked and we got to establish an understanding.I was glad I would finally get one stressful aspect of my life sorted out. I took all Bryan's disturbance in good faith, because I knew it would soon be over by the time Madam Morello resumed work.Bryan on the other hand, had been disturbing me about it almost everyday.Ever since I told him he would be having a new babysitter, not a day went by without him asking if she would be coming over that day."Mummy, when is she coming over?""Very soon, baby. Just calm down""Would she play with me and my toys?""Do you want her to do that?""Yes. She can play with the fire truck, while I play with the soldiers"He was really excited. That was the first time he would be having a babysitter since we left Birmingham.He got so close to the former that at some point, he preferred her company to mine. I would scold him for doing stuff and he would go ah
JULIENormally, I wouldn't be too happy leaving my baby to the care of a babysitter, but bearing in mind the recommendation I got from Adam about her, and how she spoke on phone, I knew she was one to be trusted.Like she promised, she got back to London not long after and gave me a call to inform me she would be coming the next two days.We discussed about her journey and all that, then I gave her the precise direction to my apartment.I also told Bryan about it and he was excited as well. It seemed we all had that mutual excitement.For me, I was happy she was coming, 'cause I was about to lose my mind trying to cope with everything and everyone.For Madam Morello, she loved being around kids and the fact I made taking care of Bryan seem like a challenge, excited her the more. It was as if she wanted to prove to me that she could take care of any kid and My parenting skills suck.For Bryan, He was also tired of my constant scoldings whenever he did something wrong. He always complai
JULIEI was still in the business of unpacking the stuff we just got from the grocery store, when the doorbell rang."I think she's the one. Good thing I didn't spend more time over there" I said.I hurried to the door to see who it was, with my mind fully made up that it was Madam Morello.Prior to that day, all our conversations had been over the phone. I had never seen her before. I didn't know what she looked like. I just moved to the door with the hope of seeing an elderly woman waiting to be let in."On my way" I said as the doorbell came again.I looked through the peephole and rather than seeing the image of a really elderly woman I had in my head, I was met with a surprisingly younger version of what I had envisaged."Hiii! You must be Madam Morello" I said as I opened the door."Hello, Julie. Of course I am" She smiled as she spread her hands for a hug, which I gladly accepted."It's so nice to finally meet you, ma'am""You can say that again, Julie. We finally meet after th
ADAMI got Max and Samantha fired the next morning without thinking twice about it. Unlike Max that tried to make an appeal, Samantha was very proud of the act and showed no remorse about it. I sent them both away and threatened to get them arrested if I ever saw them around the company.The past weeks had been a roller coaster for me. First, it was me thinking Julie had betrayed me, and sending her away. Then, it was Max, someone I regarded as one of my closest friends.I wasn’t surprised about Samantha being the mastermind of it. She hated Julie with everything in her and never failed to show it at the slightest chance she got. But, Max? He was way too close to Julie; her closest friend in the office. I never expected such from him.I didn’t know how to approach Julie with everything that had happened the past days. I mean, I sent her away for the second time without even hearing her out. That was so cruel of me.I tried calling her, but her line wasn’t reachable. I had to go see he
ADAM“I have no intentions of hurting you, Adam”When Julie came back, I did nothing but take her in with good cheer. I never knew all along, the plan was to get back at me because of what happened between us six years ago.I spent days brooding over what the one person I loved so much did to me. The betrayal pierced so deep into my heart that I couldn’t get over it. I tried so hard not to believe it was true. I so wanted to to be all a joke or prank.With how innocent she looked, one would hardly suspect she had such an evil intention towards me.I mean, we already bonded so deeply and I was planning on moving her and Bryan to a more befitting apartment close to me, until she was mentally ready to move in fully with me.My major worry was Bryan. It had been over two weeks Julie left and I couldn’t reach her again. A part of me strongly doubted if Bryan was really my son like she said, or if it was all part of her lies to get closer to me, to execute what she had in mind all along.I
JULIE“You have broken the trust I had for you, Julie. Goodbye”Adam’s word kept ringing in my head as the days went by. I tried but just couldn't get over it.I tried to recall everything that happened that fateful day. It was just so fast and scripted perfectly that I didn’t even have the chance to think about what was happening around me.Adam didn’t give me a listening ear either. It was like he was under a spell or hypnosis. The evidence was there; it was their world against mine. I was unknowingly with an official document of the company, which shouldn’t even be in my possession in the first place.I wasn’t given the chance to explain myself, which made me disappointed in Adam. I was sure he thought of me as evil and didn’t want anything to do with me again,The look of betrayal on his face said it all and it took a lot of self-control from him not to get me arrested at that point. Rather, he sent me away again.“Who could have been behind this?” I asked myself.Only Samantha ca
JULIEIt had been two months since things got completely rosy between Adam and I. Two months since he finally introduced himself to Bryan as his father.Things have been going so smoothly ever since. I usually sent Bryan off to his place to go spend some weekends. Sometimes, at Adam’s request, others, just because I wanted to have some “Me” time without Bryan’s problems.Soon, we came to an agreement that Bryan would be spending the weekends at his place, when Adam would be free enough to relate well with him. I also went over to see him when I could and he never failed to have sex with me whenever I was at his place.Things were finally back to normal, as I always wished for. Everything seemed to be going well. Samantha no longer threw herself at Adam. Seemed she had swallowed the bitter pill at last.I was supposed to meet with Max and a certain client at a hotel lounge, with a sealed document Max gave to me the previous day at the office. According to him, the document was for a bu
ADAMIt had been a week since father visited me in my office, seeking to be in the know of what was happening between Samantha and I. He left the office in utter shock after I had told him I had a baby child with Julie.All those years, just like me, he thought that Julie got rid of the pregnancy like I had commanded her to. He had nothing else to do at that point; there was no other way he could help Samantha talk to me, because my mind was already made up.As soon as I got to work the next day, I angrily sped off to Samantha’s office to confront her about what just happened.“How dare you try to involve my father in my personal life? What gave you the guts to do that?!” I thundered at her.She fidgeted, as she had never seen me in such mood before. She tried to calm me, but I wasn’t having any of that.It wasn’t enough that she kept on forcing herself on me, she also had to drag my dad into something he had no business with. That was way out of line.“I know everything. He told me.
ADAMIt had been a week since I had the most mind-blowing sex in a while. A week since I got to spend quality time with the woman I loved dearly. Also a week since Julie told me that Bryan was my seed- a result of one of the numerous sex we had when we were still together six years ago.The news was the best thing my ears ever heard in years. Not even the launch of the fashion brand could rival the joy the knowledge of Bryan being my son, brought me.Everything seemed brand new to me ever since I got the news. I smiled more as my happiness knew no bounds.For so long, I always imagined what it would be like, having my own son, whom I’d give everything he ever wanted. The fact that Bryan was one smart kid, warmed my heart the more.“He’ll go on vacations in any country of his choice” I thought to myself.“I think I should get him a car and a driver who would be taking him anywhere he wants to go to” I thought again.“No, that would be too much” I disputed.“Nah! Nothing is ever too m
JULIEI just had the best sex of my life and instead of feeling used and disgusted at myself, I felt satisfaction like never before. Prior to that day, I never realized how much I needed the orgasm that came from a session of intense sex.It was as as if my whole body had a total revamp; like every organ got changed and became brand new. I had goosebumps all over me for a long time as I laid on the bed with Adam.My legs were still feeling shaky from the climax it just went through and my pussy felt sore. I didn’t care. I had gotten the satisfaction I needed and I was open to more, regardless of how tired I was.I never planned to have sex with Adam. It was never my intentions to get intimate with him. The plan was to go to the wedding with him, spend some time, dance, then get home to have my rest. But the incident with Max which changed my mood, got me craving something to ease myself of the mood swing and sex was just the perfect fit to my puzzle.Adam, on the other hand, panted he
JULIEThe ride back to Adam’s place was a calm one. As I sat next to him at the passenger seat, I couldn’t help but have a feeling of relaxation all over me. Just like at the wedding, a soft melodic romantic song was drifting from the car speakers and this made the atmosphere even more serene.He stared down at me and touched my face calmly, while I snuggled up into his warm embrace. With his arms around me, I felt nothing but safe.Justin was focused on his driving and constant humming to the music. It was like the classic romance movies I grew up watching, only that this time, I was the main character in it.“How are you feeling now?” Adam’s deep sensual voice calmly pierced into my ears.“I’m feeling a bit better. If we could stay in this position longer, I might feel completely better” I said and giggled.“You are permitted to stay for a long as you want” He rubbed my shoulders with his palms.“I’m sorry I had to make you leave the wedding earlier” I apologized.“It’s fine, Julie.
JULIE“Hi, Max” I managed to say.I looked at him and looked away almost immediately. I was so ashamed to look at Max for long. He faked a smile, but I knew that deep down, the smile meant nothing but the feeling of being betrayed and disgust for me.Adam stared at me as I acted weird. I was sure he expected me to be all happy seeing Max, but my countenance was just the direct opposite.“Is everything okay? You both are acting very awkward right now, like you just saw a ghost. Or, did you?” Adam asked, looking around in search of the presumed ghost.“Hahaha! I’m sure she’s just too tired, or maybe she never expected to see me here” Max responded, still smiling at me.As his smile grew wide, all I could see was a broken man, masking it with laughter. I had to cheer up to avoid any further interrogations from Adam.“Yeah. That might be the reason, I guess” Adam nudged my shoulder.“I never knew you’d be coming along with her, though. I expected you’d be here alone” Max continued.“Well…
