JULIE
“I was not expecting you” I smiled as Adam walked into my apartment.
I closed the door behind him and walked straight into his arms, inhaling his masculine scent and loving the steady thrumming of his heartbeat close to my ears.
His eyes were vacant as I stared up at him, like his mind was very far away and I wondered what the problem was.
“We have to end whatever this is” He muttered in a low voice.
“What are you talking about?” I asked, while he pushed me away.
“We cannot continue whatever this is” He repeated, running a hand through his hair.
I said nothing, waiting for him to tell me he was joking and he loved me… like he always said.
“But I thought…”
“You thought what?” He quipped. “Thinking is not exactly your forte, Julie… you should stick to sucking cocks; now that is something you are very good at” He smirked.
“Stop saying that” I squeaked, wondering where all these was coming from.
“You did not think that I would choose you over the numerous celebrity women flocking me daily in public? That I will jeopardize my business and career because of you?” He stopped me, his words slapping me into crude reality.
“Come on, Julie… we have had our fun and honestly, you were the best distraction. As much as I want this to continue, you are becoming too clingy and I cannot have that” He smiled, reaching for my cheek and caressing it softly.
“This is the end of whatever this is” He muttered with a tone of finality.
“You cannot do this to me” I muttered more to myself than him, my mind buzzing with crazy thoughts.
It is a joke… a prank. He is probably teasing and hoping to see my reaction, my scattered thoughts concocted.
I so desperately wanted it to be a bad dream and something I would soon wake up from but when I pinched myself slowly, it fucking hurt.
It was no bad dream, I told myself. This was happening.
“I do not want this to be messy but I will have you know that you are just my assistant and if you think the public is going to give a fuck about you should this news be made known to everyone then you are solely mistaken. I am the golden boy here… the billionaire and you are the gold-digging assistant who fucked her boss so she can climb up the social ladder”
I gasped, the tears streaming down my cheeks as I stared at the man in front of me. I did not recognize him and he wasn’t the loving man who treated me so gently… he was a fucking bastard.
“Adam…” I began
“I had you sign a non-disclosure so the court will definitely rule in my favour but there is no need to let it get that far and ruin what is left of your name because I will ruin it” He threatened, his eyes steady upon my face like he wanted me to know he wasn’t joking about anything he was saying.
“I will not be firing you, even though I know that is what should be done in this case. Cut the dead weight which is you once and for all” He told me while I wondered whether he wanted me to sink to my knees in gratitude.
“Why?” I muttered. “Is it something I did? I am sure we can work whatever it is out if you will just talk to me”
He paused, blinking before he began laughing hard… the surprise in his eyes mocking my words
“Fuck… this has to be a joke, right? This is not up for discussion, Julie. Where the hell do you think you are, in a fucking movie? I will never be caught dead with a girl like you, Julie. I thought you would have figured that out already but it seems I have to spell it out for you…I have a reputation to protect and a company to build and you will never fit into it the way you are” He barked.
“I have no plans to ruin your reputation, I just want you… us”
“Save it” He interrupted, his eyes hard with disgust at my stupid pleas.
“I will let you keep the house” He waved his arms around my small apartment and one he had rented for me. One he always visited so we could make love and tell each other things about our day later even though we work in the same office.
“But after the rent is expired then you can either move out or begin paying for it, I do not care” He shrugged.
“I cannot believe this” I scoffed, trying desperately to stop the tears. “You promised me a lifetime of love… how can you do this?”
“You should know better than to listen to the promises of a man in the throes of passion, Julie.” He smirked like I was some pest he wanted to be rid of.
“I am only letting you stay at the office because I will like us to continue working together professionally. You are a good assistant and nothing should come between that. We can also have sex anytime you want to, I am not cancelling that out totally” He cast me a sly grin. “But you should know that it will lead nowhere”
He brushed past me, heading towards the door.
“Adam…Can we at least talk about this?” my hand snaked up to catch his arm.
I recoiled when he spurned around, taking a step back against the rage in his eyes.
“Can you stop being a fucking child? Grow the fuck up and stop being such a clingy fucking bitch.” He snapped, pushing me away again and brushing his arm
“I will not let you do this to me” I blurted.
He pinned me with one hateful glare and then smiled
“I would like to see you try and stop me, Julie… you are nothing and the sooner you know that, the better”
JULIE I closed my eyes in a prayer as I walked into the office. I had taken some days off since the day Adam walked into my home and dumped me. He had not fired me like he promised but it would seem that someone had spread the news about the end of our relationship in the office because as soon as I arrived the next day, I began to hear snide remarks about how I had given myself to my boss and how I was used and dumped by him. I knew he had done that, spread those malicious rumors to put himself in the clear. He had all but threatened me when he came over and this was his plan. Taking about a week off seemed like the best course of action after everything but I was back now and with news I did not think Adam was going to like but he was going to have to accept. A sickness had hit me days ago but now I knew it wasn’t just any sickness… I was pregnant, two weeks pregnant and Adam was the father. I smiled as the elevator door opened and I walked straight to his office door which I
JULIE SIX YEARS LATER I laughed as soon as my son bounded into my arms, inhaling the familiar scent of him and snuggling him to my chest. “Hey baby, how was school today?” “It was okay, we had a new teacher… she is nice and called me a great boy” He laughed, holding his arms out so I could help him into the car. “That is perfect, baby. We are going to the office because I have a meeting and I could not book Molly” I told him. “That’s okay. I love your office and I promise to be on my best behaviour” He assured me. I smiled, marveling at how well my baby had grown over the years. It wasn’t everyday one was blessed with such a bright child and I could only thank my good fortunes. I had named him after his asshole of a father at a time when I had thought it was a good idea but his surname remained mine and I was going to make sure it stayed that way. “Do you want some ice cream while you wait for me to be done?” I asked as soon as we neared the office. The client we were goin
JULIE I stepped out of the plane with Bryan and sighted the waiting car courtesy of Adam’s company. The move back to London had been swift after the contract signing and I was chosen to represent the company meaning I would be working as close to Adam as we used to in the past. There was a difference now, though. I was no longer the pathetic little personal assistant who had fallen hopelessly for her boss and allowed him use her for his satisfaction and then toss her out like she was waste product. I was Consultant at the biggest fashion brand in Birmingham… ‘Luxanne’ and I was going to have my own office as a partner to Adam. The chauffeur opened the car door and I mentioned the hotel I would be staying until I get a place to rent. Bryan bombarded me with questions about the city while I did my best to answer and not think about the meeting I was having later in the day at the company. I could not help the tremor that raced up my spine at the thought of returning to that plac
ADAM“You will regret this, I promise you”I paced my office with a million thoughts all in my head, but most especially, the return of Julie. The events of the past week in the office have been nothing but conflicting. If I was ever told that my one time side piece of an assistant would in six year’s time become a partner and top staff of Jones Group of Companies, I would have cast a delirious laughter and called them clowns.But it happened! My past came back to haunt me.With the way I treated her and ended things with her, I doubt we would ever get along fine. I was a total jerk towards her.Is that guilt? Come off it, Adam Jones! You’re a player and you should feel no remorse for a lady that fell for your charms.Julie had changed a lot. Of course, she was a pretty young lady then, but there was something extra about her. She now had this touch of class oozing all over. She no longer looked at her feet while talking to me, like she used to when she was still the timid scaredy as
ADAMI was fixated on the spot, with my mouth wide open, trying to process what just happened. I had seen guts, but what Julie just displayed before me was on some terminator level craziness. I knew her hatred for me was at an all-time high, but I never thought it had gotten to the extent of talking back at me, The Adam Jones.Nobody in London, scratch that… No woman in London dared to talk to me in that tone. Who the fuck does she think she is?I thought of firing her after that, but in as much as Julie had sworn to be a thorn in my flesh, she knew her onions in the fashion Industry and I would be damned if my competitors got their hands on such priceless asset, which is she.“She’d come around. I’m sure she will. But before that, I would put that scallywag in her place. The fact we used to fuck years ago gives her no right to fucking address me in that manner. She’s way beneath me!” I raged, while heading out.It was quite a distance from the office to Dad’s place. I had to go wit
ADAM“What devil is that, boy?” He quizzed, sitting up.“It’s Julie” I told him.“Julie, Julie, Julie. That name kind of sounds familiar. My old brains have it somewhere, but I can’t seem to say where” He thought hard, while staring into nothing in particular.Dad used to have the sharpest of memories when we were younger. It made it difficult for me to tell contradicting lies, because he’d always find out, even if it happened ten years later. Seeing him try so hard to remember Julie, brought me to the full realization that he was getting old indeed and there was nothing I could do about it.“You seriously don’t remember Julie?”“No, son. Although the name rings a bell”“That’s my former assistant, dad. The young lady I got pregnant. I could have sworn that you remember her, given the fact that you kinda threatened to kill her” I explained.“Ohh, yes yes yes! I know Julie. And, point of correction, I never threatened her. I only did what I did to scare her from doing something dangero
JULIE“Now, that arsehole, Adam would regret all he ever did to me. I would be his worst nightmare. As for Samantha, I’ll make sure she gives me my respect, even if it means going to war for it” I soliloquized.It’s been about two weeks since I resumed work at the Jones Group of Companies. Things were still very much like they used to be 6 years ago. The only difference was that I was more respected, unlike when I was still Adam’s little bitch whom he used to satisfy his never-ending urges.Whenever I saw the face of Adam Jones, I saw that of a villain. One that promised me the whole world and threw me outside in the cold to die. Some days, I wished I could do more than yell at him; probably beat him up in retaliation for all that he made me pass through with my son.I swore never to let him know Bryan was his. After all, he was nowhere to be found when I was striving in Birmingham, multitasking between work and taking care of the boy. That bastard doesn’t deserve to father my child!
JULIE“Alright. How long would that take you?” He asked.“Let’s say just a few minutes. You already made the job easier for me” I gestured with my fingers.“So, how are you keeping up with him? I mean, your kid” He asked out of nowhere.The question took me aback because it was usually only about my work and how I was coping in the new place. I took a deep breath and replied.“I won’t say it has been easy. Sometimes, it just gets too demanding and I’m the only one available to take care of him” I continued with my work.“How long has it been since the divorce?” He pushed further.All these years, I’ve been trying so hard to keep the fact that Adam is my baby daddy, a secret, and now, Max wants to get it out of me. He didn’t seem to back down. Even if I steered away from the topic, he’d still raise the question some other time.“ Five years, Max. It’s been over five years since we split” I lied.His eyes lit up in shock as he continued,“You mean to tell me he never spent a fucking yea
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…
