Before Loveth was even out of the shower, two maids arrived with suitcases from Sandra . While they got busy in the dressing room, Loveth went into the other bathroom with the outfit Wesley had bought for her the previous day.
Thirty minutes later, she was ready for breakfast and far from happy with her appearance. The scarlet dress was much more revealing than what she usually wore, cut away at the bust to make the most of what she had and very short, showing off her legs to well past mid-thigh. She checked her reflection, her brow furrowing while she wondered if the dress was a gift with a sting like a scorpion.
Was this how Wesley saw her now? As a sexually provocative and available woman? As yet another in a long line of women prepared to wear whatever he bought and behave however he wanted if it pleased him? anyway today was the day she makes her entrance as his woman to the public . This dress will probably suit the reporters .

Nicholas suppressed a giggle at the look on Jed’s face after watching the news . '‘Um … let me see now …'’ he twirled a strand of his hair around his finger in an idle manner. ‘'A sense of humour is very important,'’ he said. ‘'And I hate to sound prejudiced against short women, but I like a woman I can look up to, not just in height but in intellect as well.’''‘And …’' Nicholas tapped his lips with the tip of his index finger for a moment. ‘'I like a woman who’s not afraid of being in the wrong occasion.’' '‘Uh-oh,'’ Nicholas said as he gave Jed a surely-you-know-what-I’m-talking-about look before he switched off the news.Who did he think he was? She could defend her own name, thank you very much. He could mind his own business or go and play the hero for someone else.The way she was happy was not his business. He realized Jed had been waiting then he spoke
Loveth might have been worried about the evening ahead and feeling out of her depth, but she always tried to be scrupulously fair and she shook her head. ‘'I don’t think you need your ego bolstered by other people’s opinions of you.’''‘Why, thank you, Loveth , you look good,'’ he murmured.The look which washed over her filled her with ridiculous pleasure and, quickly, she turned to look out of the window, afraid that he might see. It was important that he didn’t. He must not see how vulnerable she was to his praise. She had already let herself down by responding to his kiss like that—much more and he might begin to guess at her feelings for him. And then what? She knew she wasn't ready for the outcome.Wouldn’t he be appalled? Embarrassed? Even outraged that she had dared not to nurture longings for a man like him?And the more she thinks about it . He deserves better .‘Here we are,’ he murmured, his voice butting into her thoughts. ‘'Now, take a deep
Loveth had spent weeks going from agency to agency trying to balance it all with her own company .She had spent the last few years before her abduction learning business administration at college and taking numerous temp roles at some of the top hedge fund companies in New York.Wesley's faith in her was now quiet impressive. She had patience; she had needed that all her life, resolute in her conviction that things would work out if she waited long enough for them to. She knew that to . She had done so many business in few weeks and had so many partnership with different companies .She got calls almost every new day, almost six months after first identifying the Agency. Her time had now come. She just needed to somehow ensure Wesley Grant trust her enough to give her ownership of a company she so much desired . But he wanted her to sign deals now and then after marriage have access to some of the companies.She had decided to wo
The guard opened the door quickly , and Loveth allowed him to escort her inside the empty house. Her legs were shaky and the place between her thighs was wet and sore and stinging. Wryly she reflected that last night was certainly a night to remember , that she would never forget. A straggling curl of reddish hair fell from her disheveled coiffure, dangling over her right eye. She pushed back the springy lock, tucking it behind her ear, and the thought of Nicholas’s urgent fingers clasping her head, his mouth fitted securely to hers.She reminded herself she should not be thinking about that as she tiptoed up the stairs quietly . She prayed quietly she gets to her room before Wesley wakes up .Despite having known Wesley for most of her a year now , him enduring the man's constant needling concerning the lack of a female companion in his life,Loveth was embarrassed by the compromising situation. She felt her face
It been two weeks since the proposal incident , Loveth had moved on quickly from every situation and decided to forget Nicholas completely . All she has to worry about was her job and her husband to be Wesley Grant .An email popped on her computer which she immediately discarded thinking it was a message from Wesley . A invitation by the women of wealthy men in the society which she had declined so many times .There were events for every strata of society, most notably the insufferably dull gatherings of blue bloods fathers who had money to match suitable sons with appropriate wives of their friends to ensure the continuation of their partnership. However, anyone of good sense took care to avoid these gatherings of the aristocracy, as the conversation was slow and self-congratulatory, and one was likely to find oneself trapped in the company of pompous half-wits.More sought after were the invitations to events attended by what could be considered the up
Loveth came to her senses, panicking and she turned away hurriedly and followed Isabella into her office , she shut the door before she dropped her bag on her desk . Disturbed and consumed by the fire in Isabella eyes, by the threat and hatred they had held, she dashed across the room and sat on the sofa provided in the office when she noticed Isabella on her seat already ." what do you want from me Belle ?."Though scared at the thought of being left alone with Isabella , she knew she still needed to maintain her confidence still , she couldn’t tear her eyes away, studying her with confidence, not wanting to give Isabella any hint of her fear or vulnerability.Her restrained, obscene yet refined, self-controlled movements simply dictates her confidence . She could see Isabella's eyes wide open, all focused on her filled with darkness." That's not how to treat an old friend Loveth . At least serve me some wine ."Isabella smiled as she stood
Loveth joined Wesley inside the car for some reason his mood wasn't so detailed to her and she knew everything wasn't right ." What's wrong , I didn't know you were coming back today ."" I can't even read your mood ."added in the tone of one who is trying very hard to find and give encouragement about a situation that is not particularly encouraging at all." I heard Isabella met you today , I was worried . I thought she might hurt you . When I saw you come out fine , I suddenly became at rest ."His voice had been so emotional, his expression still marvelously bland, that it took a moment for the true import of those words to register. When they did, she felt the familiar fierce surge of love that had grown stronger over the time they had spent together .Not for the first time, she wondered if he’d lost someone he loved, a woman perhaps? It would explain a lot. But no one was talking about it not even Jennifer, or his guards
" If you think I am going to let Nick have you , you must be joking Loveth , you will not tell him about this child , I will handle everything ."flicker of irritation passed over his face as he continue . “ Mind you Loveth , he will never in this world father your child ."And the realization of that shook her to her bones , Nicholas wasn't interested in a child . All this was going to make her life worst than it was . She knew so well she wanted to keep this baby too more than anything . It took her this long to be pregnant ." So he is going to tell me to abort it or what . This is his child and my child."" absolutely , so I am going to let you on a secret today , are you ready to hear it ."She nodded in approval as she watched Wesley sat opposite her . She wasn't good at guessing and so she was eager to hear what it was ." Isabella was pregnant for Nick a long time ago and ..."" Isabella what!. " Loveth exclaimed in
" Papa, you’re supposed to catch me!” the small boy exclaimed, toddling toward his father’s long form stretched on the grass.Nicholas smiled lazily at the dark-haired child who stood above him. Named Raphael, their son possessed an unending supply of energy and a vocabulary that far outstripped the average three-year-old. Young Raphael loved to talk, which was hardly a surprise when one considered his parentage. “Son, I’ve spent the better part of an hour playing chase with you,” Nicholas said. “Let an old man have a few minutes of rest.”“But I’m not finished yet!”With a sudden laugh, Nicholas seized the boy and pulled him down for a game of roll-and-tickle.Lifting her gaze from the papers in her lap, Loveth watched the pair play.Daniel and Daniella played with bubbles a little bit far away . They were spending the hottest part of the summer at her inherited estate, a place so exquisitely landscaped that it could have been the subject of a painting by Rubens. All it
" Why are you doing this to me ." Loveth asked angrily when she woke up from the long sleep she had been subjected to . Sitting right in front of her was Ash and Wesley and two masked men . She was chained to the chair she was made to sit on . Her was rumpled and messy .She looked from Ash to Wesley And then someone else was in the room . she saw the old woman she had earlier seen on her first day in his house staring at her with disgust ." Wesley please let me go ." Loveth shouted loudly and Ash slapped her cheek immediately" ifyou don't stop yelling I am going to have to go harsh on you , no one is going to save you here . No one ." she repeated as she dragged Loveth head closer by her hair .Tears fell from Loveth's eyes as they laughed at her ." you are going to regret this ." she said as she spat out blood from her mouth . She was bleeding from the slap Ash gave her on her face and crying at the same time ." You really think I will let you ruin
At 7:40pm Betty stood looking out of her window. She had left the office early and taxied home so she could get ready for her fiance coming to collect her. She had done as he asked and was naked underneath her big black overcoat. The only thing she had had to worry about was making sure that her make-up was perfect. So she didn’t feel so bare she had chosen a simple set of small diamond earrings and a bright red lipstick as her accessories, with a simple small black clutch. As the clock ticked next to her she felt her nerves start to kick in. She couldn’t wait to see him again. As she stood at her open window and saw the stretched blacked out car pull round the corner she knew it was him. She thought , but today he bought a different whip . The light in her street was perfect and it lit up the road making it look gold, the blossom from the trees was in full bloom as the limo crawled slowly to a stop in front of her building the back window slowly went down. Betty felt on the e
The tension in the room reached a new level. As Nicholas looked at the strange expression on Ash's face, the predatory look in her eyes, the anxiety took on added meaning as nothing could distract them from the heightened air of the pretend attraction between them; And then her father , the presence of this man who seemed to wield a power of control over the whole family inciting in him fear , fear that consumed him as he stood within his reach, his raw masculinity barely concealed behind the refined attire he wore.He moved closer to her, standing right in front of her and trapped in his gaze she was aware of the strength in his clearly defined body.“As I said before I went away I have some quite serious concerns over your attitude, I mean towards our relationship , which I know we addressed not only when I came to see you but also subsequently when you were drunk. I told you that I believed our union could well be of great use to me,espec
As the sunrise woke him, two hours later, he cursed not having black out curtains. he had an hour before he needed to get up and quickly grabbing a drink of water, he returned to bed tiredly until Jed still came to wake him up.He knew he needed to be at work today . He had some documents to find . Although Ambrose help him manage the company he just oversees matters .Stepping into the office, he felt more camaraderie now with the team as they all greeted him together , some looking exhausted, but mostly looking completely refreshed, and he wondered at how they had managed it.Ambrose was not so easy to work with . He never even regard him as the boss when it comes to work . He was shattered and again definitely hung over. It had been an enormous effort to get showered and dressed.Opening up his door he prayed for an easy day. Ambrose stood there looking ominously imposing in his pristine tailored pinstripe suit, fitted immaculately to his shape. He obvio
Loveth sat comfortably beside the beach with her friend Eliza Ben an American , they sip their wine and chatted loudly admist laughter and giggles ." the part he said he wanted to take me home was totally off for me and I said gentleman I am a married woman ."" He must have been sad Elly ." Loveth smiled as she tried not to laugh " you know most guys believe only single ladies come to club .He must have turned back with disappointment. " Loveth said as she watched Eliza pour her more wine ." I don't want to drink a lot , I have kids to attend to ." she paused as she checked her wristwatch for the time " I have to go home Elly , the kids will be home soon ." Loveth stood up quickly as she gathered her things from the sand ." I will see you tomorrow ." she said as she ran off .It's been three years now and things have been completely difficult but she has been strong to pull through , her twins have been so lovely than she can imagine . She had so much to do but th
As the sunrise woke her, two hours later, she cursed not having black out curtains. She had an hour before she needed to get up and quickly grabbing a drink of water, she returned to bed. Trying hard to sleep without been able to , she decided to check up on Loveth thinking she was probably downstairs.Stepping inside the sitting room , what greeted her sight was a note from Loveth's , she had left it on the table along with her phone . She took the piece of paper quickly as she began to read the letter.The words came to life, filling her with a wretched heartbreak from the sentiments expressed in the passages. It was an anguished cry of despair, isolation and loneliness; visceral in its haunting description, rendering a soul in turmoil and devastation.It could only have been written by Loveth she recognised her handwriting. When had she written this? She read on to the next page, lost in the misery it portrayed, finding it hard to read yet the elo
" what's wrong with you ?." Betty asked as she sat beside Loveth whose eyes was teary and about to cry ." you can not do this here , let get out of here ." she handed the pineapple juice in her hand to Loveth " you must be thirty ." they walked out the amount of reporters waiting outside was countless as Betty and Loveth managed to walk pass them with the help of the security .Betty stopped a taxi that drove them to her house , few minutes after Loveth had eaten and relaxed she decided to talk to Betty about Wesley's threat ." I saw Wesley just after my interview today , and he threatened me ."" he did what , at this point Loveth we need to see the police ." Betty sat closely to Loveth as she speak ." I thought of something else , I think I should go to London for sometime or I might just get back at Wesley , I am starting to think I should face my fears ."He really put her on the spot. She was uncomfortable talking about her baby and having
Loveth knocked on her parents door thoroughly till the door opened , she hugged her father when she saw him . Her eyes were swollen and red as she cried profusely ." I am sorry Loveth , welcome home ."She hugged him so tightly as she didn't have a word to say , he led her into the house " honey ,your daughter is home ." he shouted as he called her mum ." oh my God .'' she exclaimed as she came down from the stairs in a hurry " what's wrong with Loveth ?." She dragged Loveth from her husband and hugged her tightly " stop crying honey , let's get you to your room ." She led Loveth quietly up the stairs into her room." We can talk when you wake up ." Mrs. Raymond said as she pecked Loveth whose eyes were closed already .She went out when she noticed Loveth sleeping already.About five hours later , Loveth woke up with headache as she stood up from bed , she looked around the room she laid and tears fell from her eyes , she missed home so much . All the beauty in
