LOGINI was in my room when I heard my mother yell my name from the living room. I had gotten home about an hour ago and I was getting ready to go shopping.
“Honey! There's a package for you!“ She yelled again, and this time, it got me to respond. “I'll be down in a minute mum!“ I hurriedly put on my Lip gloss, staring at my reflection in the mirror and brushing my lips together so it could set properly, before heading downstairs, to the living room. “I guess it's from Blake, he must have sent it as an apology,” my mum said with a grin as she held the package in her hand. My mother must have thought we just had a mere fight, I didn't tell her he had broken up with me. Yet! I had to tell her, hiding it from her was no use. “I and Blake aren't together anymore,” I said in a low tone, waiting to get her reaction. “You broke up with him just because of a little misunderstanding?“ She scowled at me. I have always wondered why my mum always wanted me to be with Blake by all means, yes! He was from a very wealthy and elite family, but that wasn't enough reason, maybe she had a thing for him, who knew? “Mum, you shouldn't just blame it on me, he broke up with me, in fact he dumped me for a bitch!“ I was starting to feel the rage and anger again. But instead I let out a sigh, taking the package from my mother's hand. I could tell my mother was dumbfounded, I could tell she never saw it coming, Blake made her believe he would never hurt me, but he did, he really did hurt me. “Shimma, you mean to say, Blake dumped you, for someone else?“ She looked terrified. “Yes mum, not just a girl, his ex!“ I mumbled, I was about to take the package upstairs when she said something that made me pause on my tracks. “What did you do that made him leave you?“ I attempted to speak, but what could I say? My pussy was too dry? I couldn't ride his cock properly? I was bad at sex and could barely get wet for him? I mean, how could I explain it? “I'll be in my room mother,” I said to her heading to my room. “Shimma!“ I heard my mum call but I paid no heed to her, I just sprinted to my room shutting the door. I sat on my bed, placing the package on my lap. It was a little package wrapped with a ribbon, like the size of a jewellery box, or was it a jewellery box? I hurriedly unwrapped it and yes! It was indeed a jewellery box. I opened it to see two diamond earrings and a matching diamond necklace, placed inside was a card, I took out the card and it wrote. “CHEER UP SHIMMA, MATTIAS,” a smile of amusement crossed my lips and I stared back at the million dollar diamond jewelries placed on my laps. How sweet, but why? I took my phone and called Mr Mattias' number, I wanted to thank him and maybe ask him why he got me a gift. “Shimma,” he said, answering the phone, Gawd! I had missed his voice for like an hour now. “Uhm, I saw your gift, thank you uncle Mattias, But…” “Don't! don't ever call me uncle,” he cutted in, his voice rough. “But why? I always do, ever since I knew you,” I wasn't done talking when he hung up. I was staring at my phone in confusion when I heard a knock on my door. “Shimma, can I have a word with you?“ “Not now, mother!“ I placed the card back into the jewellery box and hid the box inside my closet. Don't think of it that way, it wasn't wrong for my dad's best friend to send me gifts, but I just didn't want my mother asking me unnecessary questions. “I just need to speak to you, and besides, we are running late!“ She mumbled. “Alright come in,” I said sitting on my bed again. I watched the door open and she walked in, giving me a warm smile, she always made that same expression anytime she wanted to apologize, I was used to it already. “I'm sorry if I made it seem like your fault Shimma, I was too quick to judge,” she said as she sat right beside me. “It's okay mother, I understand,” I responded as we both smiled at each other. “Let's head out then, you're driving,” she teased. “Mum you did this the last time, you're driving today, I'll drive next time, that's what we agreed on,” “Alright, I'll drive," she raised both hands in the air. She stood up, walking over to my standing mirror, checking out her outfit when she turned to me like she remembered something. “Shimma! i forgot to tell you earlier, your uncle Mattias offered to employ you as his personal assistant, once after you're done with your final exam next week. so I'll be dropping you off at his office for an Interview this evening, aren't you excited?“ She grinned. “Excited!?“ I could hear myself scream. This was torture! Being with Mattias for so long and not getting fucked by him could kill me! My mother and I were done shopping, and like she said, she drove me over to Uncle Mattias' company. “He'll drop you home,okay!“ She said waving at me as I watched her Black Mercedes zoom off. “Shit!“ I said standing in front of the skyscraper. With all courage, I walked into the building, heading towards the receptionist. “Good evening miss, I'm here for Mr Mattias,” I said. “This way ma'am, at the top floor,” she said pointing at the elevator. “Thank you,” I greeted, heading to the direction she had pointed. I opened the door to a office I guessed would be Mr Mattias's office. “G, good evening Mr Mattias,” I greeted. “Sit,” he ordered. And I did. There was an awkward silence, but I had to say something before it got too awkward. “So…,” I attempted to speak but he raised a finger, which made me stop talking. Oh silly me, I didn't notice he was working on his laptop in front of him. It took him some extra seconds, before he returned his finger down, the moment his eyes rested on mine, I felt it, I felt the warm sensation between my thighs again. “Shimma, I guess you're here for the interview?” he smirked, Gawd! Did this man know how handsome he was? “Yes,” I said softly, I pressed my thighs together as I tried to comport myself. “Well, there's not much to ask you, except,” he paused for a few seconds. “How good are you?” he stood up, and started advancing towards me. “Huh?“ he raised a brow leaning on his office table just right in front of my chair, just right in front of me! I gulped hard, I could feel my lungs tighten, I tried to move my chair backwards, giving us a few inched gap but instead he drew me closer to him. “Tell me Shimma, how good are you?“MATTIAS’S POV: (continued)“G…good day, Sir,” one of my guards said as he approached my car. I had signaled him over; he walked up with his shoulders hunched, hands clasped so tight his knuckles whitened. I could see the fear and worry in his eyes.“Good day…” I nodded, stepping out of the car. I straightened my shoulders, cleared my throat and planted my feet so I looked taller……yet calm and in control, before I continued. “The day of the accident… Doctor Ryle’s death, you were on duty, right?” I asked. The police weren’t finished with their investigation, but I wanted to move things forward as quickly as I could before anything got worse.“Yes… yes Sir, I was,” he said, bowing his head slightly and rubbing the back of his neck.“Who came in? Remember I said not to let strangers in. Who was here on the day of the murder?” I leaned forward a little, elbows bent, watching his face. He stared at me blankly, eyes flicking to the ground as though trying to pull memory up. Then he shook h
MATTIAS’S POV.“I swear! If I find out who did this to Ryle!” I said, my voice low and trembling with rage as I clenched my fist, my knuckles turning white. My breath was heavy, almost strangled, as I fought to rein in my emotions at the station, knowing how crucial it was to stay composed.The officer stood there, calm despite the storm brewing inside me. “Mr. Mattias, I know how angry you are right now,” he said, his tone calm and reassuring. He leaned slightly forward, hands clasped in front of him, as if trying to bridge the gap between us. “I assure you, we will find Doctor Ryle’s killer. Please, just give us a little time.”I felt the tension in my shoulders, my muscles coiling tighter with each passing second. “And for the threatening words written on your car, we will check the CCTV footage of the parking lot. Hopefully, we can identify who did it and why… and also, who knows? They might be involved in Doctor Ryle’s death too,” he continued, his eyes meeting mine firmly.“Plea
SHIMMA’S POV.I sat beside my mother who kept weeping and crying. I knew how painful it must be for her…..losing another man she loved. God! The pain!!!!Doctor Ryle was the next best man to my mother after my father passed. Despite the age difference between him and my mother, he loved her so deeply. Not minding what the world had to say about them.I liked him…..I felt safe around him, because for some reason, I knew he would take care of my mother and love her like she deserved to be loved.But now… he’s gone. Oh!…….Who did this? Who could hurt him like this? My heart ached with anger and sadness. I needed to know who had taken him from us.“Mum….please. I am so sorry. I am so sorry that this happened to you,” I said, feeling guilty as hell.Mattias had told me just yesterday about the scratch on his car, and a scratch that wrote “RIP,”. Despite knowing how scary and terrifying that was…I still overlooked it.What if who ever it was had come to attack and then met Doctor Ryle at h
MR. BEAU’S POV…..Shit! I killed him… I had to. He was going to ruin everything for me, and I couldn’t let that happen. I stood in the bathroom, under the shower, as the cold water ran down my body…..despite the coldness, it still couldn’t quench the fire burning inside me.Each drop of water felt like ice, sending cold shivers down my spine, yet it was oddly comforting. Masking the sweat of panic that had soaked my skin, shielding me from the consequences of my actions.Closing my eyes, I let the water wash over me, envisioning the encounter for the one millionth time…….how simple it had been to break in, how the thrill surged through me. I had grabbed a kitchen knife, the sharpest one I could fine in the kitchen. Lookin at the big and sharp blade, It felt beautiful in my hands, almost like an extension of my will. I remembered my heart racing, but not from fear…….no, it was excitement, pure adrenaline.I walked slowly toward Doctor Ryle’s room, each step echoing in my ears. I knock
MR. BEAU’S POV (continued)“Please,” I pleaded, my voice low and trembling, desperate enough to make my chest ache. “At least tell me what hospital she’s at?” My heart raced, each word heavy with longing……as if my very existence depended on hearing the answer.“Let go of me now!” he snapped, his voice rough, his eyes flushing a deep red. Anger radiated from him like heat, making me feel stupid and vulnerable.I quickly loosened my grip on his shoulders, stepping back as if I'd been burned, gasping hard for breath. I could feel my own face flush with embarrassment and regret.“I... I’m so sorry… please, don’t be offended. I... fuck! I overreacted. I am deeply sorry,” I stammered, my voice quaking, eyes darting away in a futile attempt to hide my humiliation. My mind raced, panic edging in, my hands fidgeting at my sides….still, my anxiety only got worse.What the hell have I done? If I made him angry, he would surely tell Shimma about it. They might fire me, and if that happenes, I wou
MR. BEAU’S POV.I hardly slept through the night. All I could think about was her… Shimma.My body felt heavy with fatigue, my eyes stinging from a lack of rest. But even as exhaustion clawed at me, I could feel an insatiable yearning pulling me toward her. I had to see her. Teaching the kids wasn’t just about the job; it was my lifeline to her. I couldn’t pretend or hide my feelings any longer.I rushed through my morning routine, barely registering the water as it streamed over me in the shower. I skipped breakfast entirely, leaving my house like a man possessed as I drove to her place with a sense of urgency that felt like a fierce, gnawing hunger. Fuck!!!As I parked in the lot, I ran my fingers through my disheveled hair, trying to look somewhat presentable. I cracked my neck and cleared my throat, but it did little to calm the racing pulse thrumming beneath my skin. Every second felt like an eternity, my body buzzing with anticipation.Yesterday, when she told me that she adored
“How about I come to you? Come on, tell me where you are…” My eyes widened, shock flickering in them. Why was he eager to see me?“Uh, I’m sorry, but I don’t think there is any need for that,” I said calmly, trying to be nice.“Wh—Why? I mean, we could talk about us. Trust me, I felt a connection b
THREE WEEKS LATER. It was a Saturday morning. I sat on my couch, giggling and chuckling, my gaze focused on the TV. As I watched my favourite reality shows. I placed my hand on my tummy, because it was grumbling. Obviously I was starving. It was past ten Am and I hadn't had breakfast. I picked
SHIMMA’S POVI lay on my bed, unable to sleep. I couldn’t help but wonder why Mr. Mattias left in a hurry. Obviously, he had a message, and it could have been so important. But—I didn’t want him to leave. I want him with me right now. Shit.---The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my alarm.
MR. MATTIAS'S POVThe moment I walked out of Shimma's house, I took out my phone, pressing some numbers. The jeweler had just texted me, and I needed to act fast. I couldn't stop my heart from racing with excitement as I imagined the next step in my plan. I was fucking going to be a fiancé!“Hey,
