"Hello Kim, how are you.? What's my schedule today?". He asked his secretary who walked behind him as he made his way to his office.
"Ehmmmm, you've got an appointment with Our partners from Cyprus by 9:45" she said to Denzel as she searched through her iPad. "A call came from FILUX confectionery. They asked if they could meet with you today to finalise the factory truce deal. You're also supposed to meet with the production team by 11:20 to get acquainted with them and also address them on the new production strategies. Then there's a board meeting slated for 15:00 which you supposed to be in attendance. Then you..." she gets cut out abruptly.
"That's okay Kim". Denzel said as he didn't want to hear the long list of appointments lined up for him for the day. "I'm gonna take the 9:40 and the 11:20 appointments then you move all other appointments for another day. Tell Stan to meet me at the office now."
"But you know you've really got to attend the board meeting. They're all kinda concerned that you ain't handling the company the way it ought to be". Kim tried to make him see reasons.
"Kimberly, you're my secretary, at least that what I pay you for. You ain't my godamn parents or my adviser so shut the hell up, get out of my office and go get me Stan now".
She kept quiet and left the office with out uttering anymore words.
"Get me a cup of coffee on your way". He said as Kim made her way out.
"okay Mr Denzel". She said, hey face not as happy and enthusiastic as it was when she had entered the office earlier.
Denzel sat there at his desk scanning through lots of files that lay on his desk unattended. He scanned through the documents one after the other with an indifferent face. If there was one thing he hated most, then it would be paper works. Before he took over from his dad as the CEO of CULID Beverages plc; the leading brand in Milk and Beverage production. He barely knew anything about the corporate world and business was more like a burden than a message livelihood. He had clearly made it known to his parents that he wasn't set to take over from his father but Mr Wesley was one who doesn't take 'No'for an answer. He had a way of manipulating everything and everyone.
It took a lot of pressure and persuasion before Denzel could drop his career as a model and a sport analyst to take over from his father.
"Looks like someone is already having a bad day this early". Stan chuckled as he entered Denzel's office, snapping him out of his thought.
"Shit, men, I really hate this bullshit". He said with a feeling of frustration as he slams the document was holding on the desk, falling on his executive chair.
"Come on man, it's just a document not some kind of puzzle". Stan said as he stretched out his hand to grab a document flipping it open to see its Contents.
"This is just a financial analysis for the past month, it came through your desk so that you could look it and have an insight of the company's Income and expenditure for the past month before sourcing your signature and send to the company's database. These things ain't a hard nut to crack. You know you're capable, that's why Mr Wesley handed this company over to you."
"Just take this whole Shit to your office and sort them out. Please do this for me man, I'm definitely gonna owe you one. I've got a lunch date this afternoon". Denzel said with smirk.
"Woah!" Stan replied with a wicked smile on his face. "Who's getting laid tonight?"
"Well, it's just an old time friend. She used to be my classmate Way back in college. She just came into town and asked if we could do lunch. I'm sure he just wants a piece of cake". He said and both guys laughed out loud, shaking hands.
"I really don't like her though but I'm sure I'm gonna like what's gonna pop up in between her legs.
"Damn, men you the real MVP". Stan said as he stood up to salute Denzel sarcastically.
"Mr Denzel, Our partners from Cyprus are already seated at the conference room. It's 9:50" Kim said as she opened the door unexpectedly.
"Shit" Denzel said as his jaw dropped "I'm coming". He completed
"Stan please take care of these documents and do your thing". Denzel said
"Don't worry man, I gat this". Stan replied as they both shake hands.
* * * *
"please I need you back." She whispered over the phone
"Don't be like that. You know we could never make it work again." He chastised her with a sad smile, his fingers tangling in his long hair as he scratched the side of his head.
"I could do anal again or anything you'd love to try" she said, pressing further as she persuaded him. "At least once a week."
Denzel smiled. She had actually made him an offer that was just too hard for him to refuse.
"Don't do that." His flat voice shakes slightly. "That's what cost us this relationship back in college. How could we ever trust each other again? We both deserve better. Don't say that." He said, remembering their days at the college and how their relationship crumbled just within
"We can do this. We can make each other happy again. There's so much to work through, but I can help you and you can help me. I can do this for you again. I want to do this for you again. Let us try... Let us try?" The last word came out as choking whisper.
"You deserve better..." He whispers, flashes of what had happened that night kept coming to his head.
"Can you look out of the window?" she asked all of a sudden.
Denzel quickly walked to the window, he met her standing by her car just by his beautiful garden. He had dropped her off after their date. It was supposed to be just a lunch date but they had a lot to catch up on. They talked till it was late in the evening. Denzel abruptly ended the date when the conversation gradually to the the direction of what had happened during their college days.
Eva really wanted him badly but Denzel wasn't sure if he actually felt the same way. He knew how he loved women a lot and how he was willing to f*ck anyone at anytime but he felt nothing for Eva, no attraction whatsoever.
"What are you doing here?". He asked as he kept staring at her from the window.
"Can you please let me in, it's damn so could outside here". Eva replied ending the call.
Denzel reluctantly opened the door for her, letting her in as he throws a coat over her body when he saw her shivering.
"You know you are not supposed to be here?" he said looking into her eyes.
"Maybe. But this is where I want to be. This is where home is. This is where I belong." she said to him as she draws him to an unexpected. He flinched. Struggling visibly, his hands slowly slipped from her shoulders and his arms wrapped around her delicate body. She released his shirt and held him fiercely. He bent over her slightly, enveloping her in his strong arms, squeezing her too tightly, crushing her against him, with never a complaint from her.
"I miss you. I miss you, but this isn't a good idea." He whispered into her thick, soft hair.
"I'll win you over. I'll show you. I'm going to find a place in town. You'll see." She murmurs faintly through crushed lungs. His arms let up slightly but she grips him tighter and keeps them firmly close. After a moment's hesitation his grip tightens slightly again.
"This is a bad idea." He whispers, so quietly it might have only been meant for his own ear, yet at the same time his arms squeezed around her protectively.
Her fingers began trail down her midriff as she grasped her shirt and drew it up over her head. He shifted excitedly as her supple body revealed itself inch by inch. Her skin was beautiful, soft, inviting. His hands clenched at his sides. She drops her shirt in the hall and cups her own breasts through her bra. The swell of her curves, the way they filled her hands. They looked heavy and lonely. Her hands slowly reached behind her and released the catch of her bra, dropping the straps from her shoulders and letting the flimsy piece of cloth drop to the floor. Her full globes bounced free of their confines and her nipples tightened under his hungry gaze.
Before she could take them in her hands again he crossed the threshold, slamming the door behind him and backed her up against the wall. He kissed her savagely, grinding his hips against her and cupping her smooth flesh, palming and teasing her pert nipples. Her breath came fast as he let himself go. In a frantic hurry he tore his shirt away and threw it to the floor, the two of them rejoiced in the feel of skin on skin. He cupPED her ass in both hands and she wraps her legs around him. The two of them struggled out of their heels and boots as he grinds against her, crushing her between his hard body and the wall.
Effortlessly he carried her petite but now sweaty body up the stairs to the room. "Where are we going?" She asked, her sweaty body clinging against his. "This one." He said with a grim on his face, clutching at the door frame leading to his room. He slamed her up against it and the grunt pulled from her by the impact flowed into a groan as he pressed hard against her, rolling his hips into her. Maiming her lips with his, massaging her ass through her thin pants, crushing her breasts against his chest. She clinged to him excitedly, moaning encouragement whenever he did something just right and trying to grind her s*x against his. Without warning he turned and they tumbled to the bed in a mess of flailing limbs and breathing heavily; both craving for a touch. They fumbled between struggling out of their own pants and trying to help the other with theirs. She gave out a small gasp as he cuped her mound and began stroking her slit. He groaned in a low tone
CHAPTER FOUR"Grrrrrrrrrgggghhh!". Went the alarm. Kate stretched out her hand picking the alarm to stop it almost immediately. It was 6:30 Am. She frowned and grunted as she remembered she was going back to work today. She wished there was any other way she could skip work.If there was anything she had wanted more in this life, that was definitely to stop working with Mr Denzel. She had been working for him for almost a year and she could say that it has been one of her most difficult job ever as a maid.To her, Mr Denzel was a bunch of trouble. He was arrogant, rude and above all, he was a chronic cassanova. He came home almost every night with different ladies. She feared that perhaps one day his sperm would run dry. He always wanted to sleep with almost every woman."Grrrrrrrrrgggghhh!!" went the alarm again, snapping her out of her thoughts, reminding her of the horrible day ah
CHAPTER FIVE"Mum, I got the job at Mr. Denzel's mansion. It's a live-in job". Kate said to her mother as soon as she got off the phone."What?! Forget it, you ain't going nowhere," Her mother mouthed."I knew you would react like this but listen, mum, you're sick and it isn't much you can do for yourself now or to get the bills around here. I'm going for this job so I can provide money for you and me. You've done your best to raise me and cater to my needs ever since Dad left us. I think it's high time you allow me to return the favor and besides, I'm already an adult. Mum let me do this for the both of us. I just can't help seeing your health deteriorate and I sit and do nothing about it". Kate said, trying to convince her mum.Her mum kept mute for a moment, pondering over what her daughter had just said and she sighed."Okay, I trust you. Go ahead and accept the offer but I really want the best for you, doing odd jobs like this isn't what I wan
Denzel pulled over at his parking lot. His hands still on the steering, he sighed. It had really been a hectic day but he was glad that it all went according to plan.All thanks to Kim, they were able to put up a proposal that was able to convince the delegates from Winston PLC to partner with his company. A partnership deal was imminent. That would definitely convince the board members that he is the right man to take the company to a greater height just like his father, Mr. Wesley had done during his time as the CEO.He dragged himself out of the car, taking his briefcase with him as he headed into the house, looking tired and exhausted. He had admitted that being a CEO wasn't as easy as he had thought it would be. Seeing how his father handled the affairs of the company with ease while he was growing up, he felt that being in the corporate world wasn't a big deal after all, though he never showed any interest in it."Good evening Mr. Denzel," A lady greeted h
She lay by the poolside in her newly acquired apartment sunbathing. She gently but carefully applied a lotion to her skin. It shimmered and glowed under the sunlight. She gently caressed her body as flashes of her s*xual encounter with Denzel played out in her head. His gentle hands ravaging her hair, then to her back and down to her soft rounded ass. His succulent lips pressing on her lips in a deep but passionate kiss.The way he made love to her, spilling her juices all over the place made her want to go crazy. It had been a long time she had craved for his touches and she finally got what she wanted. But she was determined to get more. She just couldn't get enough of him and she swore to make him hers forever, whatever the cost may be.She had always wanted him even all through their high school and college days. She could have had him where she wanted him. She almost did if not for the awkward but embarrassing incident that had happened that night. Their love stor
Denzel tried to resuscitate her, but she didn't respond. He became tensed and confused. He had never hit a woman in his life. He didn't know what had prompted him to hit her the way he did.He shook her severally, she didn't respond. She lay there, motionless with blood oozing from her nose. Perhaps she could be dead, he thought to himself. He suddenly began to sweat profusely. He couldn't believe he had just killed someone over what could have been avoided.He quickly rushed to his room, picking up his phone, and dialed 911"Hello, please I need an ambulance at 957 Ocean View. My housemaid just fell unconscious". He said as he couldn't find any way to describe the situation.***A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the hospital. Kate was rushed to the emergency room. Denzel trailed behind with fear written all over his face."Okay, Mr., You'll have to wait here while we take it up from here". The doctor said,
Kim opened her eyes. She had dozed off for about a few minutes. She looked at her watch, it was already 12:05pm. She had slept for almost an hour. She yawned as she stretched herself. She looked a bit tired. She was supposed to be at home resting but all thanks to his boss Denzel, she might have to stay here maybe for the rest of the day.She stood up and walked over to the window just a few yards away from the door to the emergency room. She took a peep and saw Kate still sleeping peacefully. Poor thing, she thought, she must have taken a hard knock from Mr. Denzel and the impact must have been too excruciating.Staring at Kate for a few minutes she wondered what Kate would have done that could have made her boss knock her out in the way he did. She had known Denzel for about five years while she still worked with Mr. Wesley, she had never heard that Denzel raised a finger on any woman. Perhaps something had gone wrong somewhere.She had known Denzel to be a go
"Kate is awake,""How is she?" He asked pushing Eva slightly off him."She's gradually coming around but she is skeptical about coming back to the house. I've tried convincing her; I told her you're willing to increase her pay so nobody gets to know. I'm sure she's going to accept the offer"."Whatever she wants, give it to her. Just make sure doesn't press charges or let the public know about this. I'll be there in five minutes"."Huh?" Eva quizzed curiously, was he about to leave in the middle of their sensual love making?"Are you there?" Denzel asked over the phone, ignoring Eva."No, you don't need to do that. I'm taking care of things over here. Just relax and get some rest.""Okay, whatever happens, always let me know. I'll be here waiting." Denzel said as he ended the call."You were gonna leave in the middle of all these?" Eva asked motioning to her naked body. She was furious and at the same time disappointed.
Kate stared blankly into the street ahead and let the tears flow from her eyes. She sat on the roadside bench and waited for Collins. He had promised he would come and pick her up. The cold evening breeze blew against her body and she shivered but she was too sad to cover herself. Neither did she care about her brutal wind. She could only blame herself. She had been foolish to believe she could find committed love with Denzel.Collins' car pulled over and he rushed out to meet her. When he noticed he was shivering, he took off his jacket and covered her. Kate sniffed and thanked him. Collins sat beside her, and for a moment, no words were spoken. Collins wondered what happened. Whatever it was, he knew it was terrible. Kate's box was standing behind the bench."You were right," she said with a light chuckle. "Denzel didn't deserve me and I was too foolish to see it.""I'm sorry, Kate."Kate pursed her lips and sobbed."Stop crying, Kate. Whatever it is, he doesn't deserve your tears.
Four NYPD vehicles blared along the road to the house of Raymond Dantley. The winter clouds had been dissipated by the sun and the morning dew soaked the tarmac. The cold winter breeze still blew and the men wore their police jackets and sipped hot coffee – their bosses swallowed bottles of gin in their office.The four vehicles came to a halt in front of Ray’s compound and instructions were given. Five cops, armed with a rifle, surrounded the perimeter of the house while the rest three made their way in. The truck loaders who were sniffing some of the drugs they stole were the first criminals they caught.“This is the New York state police department,” one of the officers recited with his rifle pointed steadily at them. There was no escape. “Your hands where I can see them.”Another police officer cuffed their hands from behind. He inspected the substance. “Codeine.”“Take us to your boss. A single mistake and I’ll blow your brains out.”***Stephen watched from afar as the four poli
The men were up long before dawn. Silently, they moved about their duties. In the underground warehouse, several boxes containing codeine, Vicodin, and oxycontin were labelled and placed on each other. The men in the lab were dressed in white overall coat inspected samples before they were lifted to the ground floor. The boxes were carried into the compound and loaded into a truck carrying the Culid company logo. The men ardently placed the boxes of hard drugs in between cartons of beverages.When they had finished uploading the boxes, Roland slapped the back of the vehicle and the driver started the engine. Roland slid into the passenger seat and lit a cigarette. He pushed his cigarette box to him.“Want some?”Tarry, the truck driver shook his head and reached for a bottle of gin. “Gin does it better.” He took a gulp and passed the bottle to Roland. “How’s the boss?”Roland took a gulp. “Mad as hell. He wants Stephen.”“Heard millions of dollars was missing.”“Raash wants his cut, n
Eva heard everything. The sounds of the birds singing on the tree outside her window. The yellings of the crazy men outside her door. The clicking sounds of shoes that belonged to the psychiatrist. At night, she could hear the creeping sounds of the bugs that wanted to feast on her. She hated the place. And she hated that she was locked with crazy people. She wasn’t crazy. She was only fighting for a love that was hers and Daniel betrayed her.The three nights at the mental home had been hell for Eva. The therapy sessions were worse. She sat, hand cuffed, before a man dressed in white overall coat.“Eveline. Can I call you that?”“I’m Eva?”“How are you this morning?”“I can’t be fine as long as I am held in this hell hole.”“Are you ready for a session?”“I’m not mad!”“You tried to kill a woman who dis nothing to you thrice.”“She took my man.”“He isn’t yours.”“How do you know that?!”“Because he said so. Eva, he was only your boyfriend in high school.”“You don’t know anything.”
Kate returned home after listening to Denzel’s voicemail. He explained why he was silent after discovering Eva had caused the accident and also threatened to kill her. He also pointed to her that he never had sex with Eva. Kate was too ashamed to remain in Collins’ company – much had been said and done. Going home was a relief.When she arrived, Denzel wasn’t in. There was a note stuck to the fridge in the kitchen explaining that he had gone to see his father. Kate sat down and thought about the event of the morning. She wondered if she would have enough courage to tell Denzel and she wondered how he would react.She busied herself all afternoon with responding to emails from contractors and business men. A particular fashion celebrity had been pleased with her fashion line and proposed partnership.It was a delightful news.Kate thought about how busy she was going to become as a design creator. She knew it was worth the time it would rob off her. She thought about telling Denzel the
Kate felt awkward and Collins sensed it. “Come in,” he said and moved out of the entrance. Kate stepped into the apartment. It was her first time coming to his place since he moved into New York.“We had an argument,” she explained.Collins closed the door and followed her in. “Was it because of what I told you earlier?”Kate sat down and sighed deeply. “I deserved to know, Collins. I could have died.”He took a seat opposite her. “Does he know you’re here?”Kate shook her head. “He doesn’t know I left the house.” She heaved a sigh. “I just wanted h to explain himself and then he left me.”“Does he know about your fears?”She shook her head. “He never asked.”“How about tea?”“Great.”Kate glanced around the room. She recognized some portraits from his previous house at New Rochelle. Collins loved art and he gathered artistic works. Whenever he was stressed or leisured, he painted.He returned shortly with two cups of hot tea.“Thanks,” she said.Collins thought about what she said ea
Denzel glanced at his sore eyelid in the mirror and decided it was better if he wore sunshades. He combed his hair, inspected his see eyes again, and exited the room. The news of Eva’s arrest had been communicated to him the previous night and he planned visiting her to give her a piece of his mind. But presently, he was on his way to the hospital. When he reached SEW 7, Kate was awake, and was having breakfast. She noticed the sunshades he wore.“What’s with the sunshades?” she asked.Denzel ignored the question until he was by her side. “Nothing.”Kate frowned. “I want to see your eyes then.”Denzel hesitated. “I fell.” Kate’s frown deepened. “I wanna see it.”Denzel took off the shades and Kate gasped softly. “This isn’t a fall. What happened?”“Nothing. I gotta go now. I’ll be here to pick you up by 6pm.”He eased out of the room. Denzel’s next stop was at the station. Eva was pleased to see him. “Denzel? Babe, you came for me? Please, tell them I didn’t do it. I don’t want to s
“You’ve got some effrontery, Eva. What are you doing here?”The glare in his eyes told her that he had not forgiven her yet. But Eva was in desperate need of shelter. “I’m sorry I had to hit you. I told you I did want to return to that place.”“You didn’t hit me, Eva. You tried to kill me. I was cumming when I passed out.”She smiled naughtily. “I can make up for it.”Daniel did not move from the door. “I found another woman who worships me the way I do.”Eva frowned. “I never wanted to be your woman, Daniel. If you’ve gotten a woman, I’m happy for you. I’m here because I’ve missed a friend and I’m in need of a shelter.”“You know where your home is, Eva.”“You know I can’t go home and you know why.”“And where you’ve been staying for weeks?”“It was at a motel downtown but the cops came over today. Please, let me in, Daniel.”“I have to talk to Sylvia about it.”“Fine.”He unblocked the entrance and she shoved in. She fell on the cushion and dropped her small bag. “Is there food in
Eva undressed and wrapped the bloodstained pen knife in a nylon. Then she kept it among her clothes. She moved to the bed with a wine bottle, prepared to celebrate her victory. When she had gone halfway through the bottle, she contemplated calling Denzel. Later, she slept off.Eva didn’t wake up until the next morning. She drove around town and stopped by at McDonald’s. At the eatery, she noticed sly gazes. She bought Chicken McNuggets and soda. When she stopped by at the gas station, the attendant asked her some personal questions before she drove off.Eva thought about Daniel for the first time in two weeks and hoped he had survived the hit. Daniel hadn’t called her.A few minutes before mid-day, she drove back to the motel she was renting at cheaply rate. After a morning of outings, Eva planned to remain indoors all day. Maybe she would watch an erotic movie and masturbate…It must have been the heavy food she ate that drowsed her back to sleep. Her slumber was disturbed as soon
