Resisting the urge to throw down the phone, I quickly stood up, untied, and tied my necktie back, before slipping both of my hands into my trouser pocket. “This lady seems to be smarter than I thought! I need to be fast about it!” I said to myself, gnashing my teeth. Suddenly I picked up my phone and headed straight for my private elevator. “Boss, where are you going?” Andrus asked on seeing me and did the same. “Stay behind, Andrus, I want to be left alone!” I said in an icing tone, and he withdrew immediately. He went back to his office as the elevator door closed. I shouldn't have told him off in that tone, after all, he wasn't the one that got me pissed off!. Soon, I arrived at my private parking spot, and paused on opening the car door. “Wait a minute! Where the hell am I going?” I questioned myself, before gazing at my reflection on the car. Suddenly I turned back absurdly and headed for the office. “Welcome back, boss!” Andrus said, shocked to see me after a minute. Wi
“Hi, Alexandria!” he said, smiling. “Hello, Drake! How are you doing? It's been a while!” I said, and he smiled again before shrugging his shoulders. “You told me off, remember? Hum, can I sit down beside you?" He asked, staring at me, and I nodded my response. “So, how are you doing?” I spoke up first. “Am doing fine, just feeling down lately!” He said after taking a sip from his red wine. “Really? What happened?” I asked, feeling a little bit concerned for him. “You broke my damned heart, remember? And ever since then, I haven't been myself” He said, and he suddenly stopped drinking. Pushing his glass of wine aside, he turned to fully look at me. “What?” I asked when he silently stared at me. “Why wouldn't you at least give me a chance? I'm hot, young, and not bad looking, and I have got money as well! So, why won't you let me spoil you with money at least since you rejected my offer of love?” He said slowly and I kept quiet at first. Seeing my silence, he stood up and tried
"Because I need you now!” "You don't need me, Alex! It's just the effects of the alcohol! Freshen up, it might help to calm down your nerves”. “I don't need some damned bath! I want you, Fred!” “Alex, we both know what will happen tomorrow morning after doing this now! Just relax, okay!” “Are you rejecting me now? I thought you loved me!". My need for sex was intense now. "Please don't, Alex! Don't try to use my weakness against me” “You liar! You never loved me!” I said, and suddenly started crying. “Please don't cry, Alex! For goodness sake, you know how much I love you! How much I want you as mine! You know too well, Alex!" He pulled me closer to himself, and held onto me, and I quickly kissed him. Slowly, he responded to my kiss and soon his tongue fought with mine for dominance. Deeply the kiss, I had a better taste of the champagne wine in his mouth. Raking his hands through my hair, his hot breath fanned my face while he held me tightly to himself. “My goodness! I fu
“Yeah, Alex! I love you! You are so fucking sweet, and I love the way you you make me dream about you every fucking seconds of the day! Ahh… Haah… Yeah…come on baby, you are my baby…” He continue moaning, with his eyes closed. Feeling my sensation soaring high, I grasp my leg tighter around his waistline, bend lower on his body, and immediately increased my bouncing speed again, i felt him shivering out of pleasure beneath me, while loud moans from both of us filled the room. “Aaah…Fucking Goodness! Am… I'm getting closer, Alex…!” He moans out. And I felt it becoming more intense. Quickly, I pull out before he will hold me back like he did before, and his seed splashes on my stomach. Standing up, I walked to the bathroom adjacent to the room, no longer feeling tipsy. By the time I came out of the bathroom, he was sound asleep. Sighing softly, I checked the wall clock. “Shit! It really late! I won't be able to get a cab back home” I murmur, turning to look at his cute face whi
Are you trying to shift the blame on me now?” I asked, looking shocked at his Words. “Why should i?” “What kind of a question is that, you ass, prickled, dude! Ain't you supposed to protect me from such a messy situation? And you claimed to love me! You worthless piece of trash!" I said, my chest swaying up and down in anger. Actually, I wasn't angry with him. I am just angry with something unknown, something I have securely locked up in my enclosed wall of self-defense or rather, self-control. “Alex! I did that! But you insisted! You insisted, and practically bullied me into it!" He said loudly, while trying to demonstrate with his hands. “I bullied you into it? Hahaha… can you listen to yourself?” I said, totally pissed off now. “Yes, you did! You questioned my love for you, and succeeded in using it against me! You are my only weakness, Alex!” He said, equally yelling now. “Are you yelling at me, now?" I said, coldly. Raking his hands through his hair, he breathes out loudly
Sighing softly, I rub my tired neck. Sipping from the glass of juice, my phone started ringing. Seeing the ID of my lawyer, I sighs out again before picking it up. “Hello!” “President Chester, she beat us too!” He said and frowned, totally confused at his words. “Beat us to what?” “She has filed some charges against you and we have been invited by her lawyer probably for negotiations” “What are the charges!" "Defamation of character, Threat To Life, and Attempting Murder!” He said and I clench fist in anger. “Hmm… I can see she is smart! Alright, set up a meeting with her attorney for tomorrow afternoon, let's hear what she has to say” I said coldly before hanging up. “Sofia! Alright, let's see how far you can go about this!” I said, before standing up from the couch, leaving the glass of juice behind. My appetite for drinking has completely been ruined. It was exactly nine am when the arrival of her plane was announced at the airport. Completely dressed up in a casual
“You are welcome!” He said, while taking my luggage away from me and we all started walking towards a parked car. “So, tell me Mr Andrus…” I wanted to say more. “Sorry to interrupt you, but can you quit with Mr? Just call me Andrus!” He said, and Murphy coughs slightly again. “Are you alright? You look tired!” I said, looking concerned. This CEO is a piece of trash! Does it mean he doesn't value friendship very much? Murphy looked tired, and he still sent him to come and pick me up. Well..he definitely meets his match, because I'm not going to condone any trashy attitudes from him!. Strange enough, I haven't seen the face of the heartless CEO as described by bloggers! Going through few of his pictures online only showed his back view, and never his face! How he does it is something I was puzzled about, until more research about him online shows that he controls over eighty percent of the media sector! Damned! The man is powerful! I was still saying inwardly to myself until Andrus,
But what, pretty boy?” I said, and Andrus laughed out again. He seems to enjoy hearing me tease Murphy. “The CEO wears a half-cover mask on his face!” Murphy said, the sudden sharp screening of the car's brake, almost gave me a heart attack. “I am deeply sorry, Sir Murphy!” Andrus quickly apologized to him. “What is wrong?” Are you alright? Let me drive, if you are not feeling too well!” I said before turning to look at Murphy who was not perplexed at the sudden event. He seems to look calm for something like this. Or perhaps, he already knew about Andrus driving style? I thought inwardly. “I'm fine, miss! I am deeply sorry for that. It's just that ... .it's just that I heard something….!” “Please drive the car, Andrus!” Murphy, sharply but calmly interrupts him. “Yes, sir!” Andrus replied before starting the car. Leaning back on the seat, I watched him close his eyes before I did the same. There is something about Murphy that screams mystery! There seems to be this deep conne
“Now, tell me doctor Kim? Is she…is she in any sort of danger? Is she…is she dieing?” I asked coldy, my eyes red from fear, and uncertainty.“Please, stop that! My baby isn't dieing, or going to! Right, doctor Kim?” My mom asked, already walking towards us.“Of course not, Mr Chester!. She is fine, Lady Ave!. But she needs a lot of bed rest, and medications to help boost up her immune systems, especially her white blood cell. She must have have seen or experience a great deal of ill experiences…!” He was still trying to say something when I interrupted him.“I'll experiences like what? Make me understand you better, doctor Kim!” I tried to refrain myself from yelling at the top of my voice. God! I'm going crazy!.“Like trauma, Mr Chester! Traumatizing situations or reoccurring experiences that might have happened to her which can cause damages to the nerves system, or brain if not properly handled. She is a strong lady, but the limit has been crossed. I would recommend she undergo the
I fell in love with the simple, yet elegant decorations. It made me feel a little bit at home.Ten minutes later, I was done. You look beautiful, ma'am!” Selena said after putting the final touch to my clipped bun-hairstyle.“Thank you!” I said while staring at the sea blue eyes gazing back at me from the dressing mirror. The emerald necklace compliment the black color off-shoulder styled lengthy gown. Suddenly someone knocked gently on the closed door.“Yes!” Quickly Selena went to check out the reason for the knock. Opening, and closing back the door swiftly, I couldn't tell who the person was.“Ma'am, It's time!” She rushed towards me while I stood up slowly. Holding my black color clutch sized purse, we both went downstairs, where he was already waiting for me.“I thought I said twenty minutes?” He said while checking his wristwatch, the moment he saw me. “Sorry I'm… .. late!” I paused on my words on seeing him dressed up in a simple white color totem-neck styled long sleeve swe
“What?” I said, deeply embarrassed with his stare. “You love it so much?” “You can say that again!” I said before chewing on the noddles with chopsticks, no longer embarrassed of his silent stares, and smug smile. He can go on watching me without eating, while I finish off everything. Murphy did informed him well about my favorite dishes. Eating more of the noddles, and pork meat, I suddenly saw something shinny inside the broth of the noddles. Curiously, i picked it up with the chopsticks. On seeing what it is, a loud gasps unconsciously escaped from my mouth. “I know it's not a proper marriage, but what is worth doing, is worth doing! Will you do me the honor of being my contract wife?” He said, already on his knees, staring intensely at my eyes, and I went mute unsure of what to say or how to respond to his crazy question. “Despite my traumatic past, yet I have always secretly hoped and dreamed about the day of being proposed to by a man that loves me. But what should I called
“I know it is possible for million of people to have the same eyes color, but how can they feel the same? The hidden warmth, and kindness behind the cold aura emitting from him, just like Murphy's” I thought inwardly while his eyes keeps trying draw me in, to trap me, and make me one with him. “Are you done?” He suddenly asked, and I jolt out of my thoughts. Swallowing my saliva back, I shifted uncomfortably in the seat before releasing the seat belt. “Yeah! Can we go in now?” I said, looking away from his face, feeling embarrassed. “Right after you, Milady!” He said with a soft chuckle, and I paused on my track. “Is there something you are not telling me?” I turned to look at him. “Humm…Something like what?” He asked, I saw those hints of fear in his eyes again. “I don't know! Maybe you should tell me about it!” I watched him nervously rubbing his palm against each other vigorously. “Tell you what, Alexis?” Listen dear, I am not hiding anything from you, okay! I wouldn't h
“Oh! That is kind of you sir!” I said, feeling relieved a little bit when he informed me of his intentions of taking over my father's medical treatment immediately. At least, my decision is not in vain. “You mean this evening? Alright! I will get prepared before then. Okay, see you later, bye sir!” Ending the call, I breathe out again. He is indeed not wasting time. Since he wants to officially introduce me to his parents before the commencement of the wedding plans, I need to start preparing myself for a gorgeous dress to wear. Taking a brief look at the quiet front view of the compound, I closed up the window and walked away. ************ CHESTER BLACKWOOD POV Waiting restlessly the second day, I gave up hope of her ever accepting my offer until I received her call. “Yes!” I did a happy fist up in the sir before pacing around the room, wondering what to do next now that she has finally accepted me. Suddenly I stopped on my track, picked up my car keys and head out of the hous
“I knew it! I knew it was going this direction, but not the way I envision it to be!. So, what was your reply?” She giggled happily, and I wished I never wasted my time discussing it with her. She was going to make me agreed to it in the first place! Well, not that I had a choice, though!. “Nothing yet! He give me two days to think about it!” “Listen girl! There is absolutely nothing much to think, or worry about. Consider it as a job employment were you are being paid handsomely at the end of the month!. A marriage with convenience? And just for six months?. Girl, you are in for some luck! Chances of you getting a better medical treatment for your dad is slim! Plus an avenue for you setting up your future is guaranteed! So what are you scared of?” She asked the question that have made me restless since I came back from the party. “Yes! What am I really scared of? Afraid that I might end up loving him? Or afraid that I might miss a chance with Murphy?” I questioned myself inwardly.
“Welcome home, sir!” The housekeeper hurried out to welcome me.“Thank you Mrs Williams!” I said while one of the bodyguard’s opens the car door for me. “Are you going in, sir?” She asked slowly, and I turned sharply to look at her, puzzled by her question.“Is there any reason for me not to enter my own house, Mrs Williams?”“No sir! Well, sir….” She started stuttering, and I watched her moving her arms behind her back nervously.“Is there something you are not telling me, Mrs Williams?” I narrowed my eyes at her.“I……well, I……i…..” She kept on stuttering, and I became confused.“Welcome back from the party, darling!” A female voice I have come to dislike sounded. Turning slowly to the direction the voice was coming from, I saw Sofia cat-walking towards me.“Now listen to me, Mrs Williams! The next time you allow strangers into my house without my consent, consider yourself sacked immediately!” I said coldly, while she nods her head vigorously to my words.“Yes..yes, sir!”“Who is a
“And why is that?" She interrupted , frowning her face. "Because you are the wife, and hence I won't want eyes on your reputation as well as that of my family’s?" "Oh! I get it! Well, honestly, isn't fair!” She said, but I choose to ignore it. “The fifth one, I like I said, no flirting with the opposite gender as a married woman, and don't expect any form of intimacy from me!” I said, and she breathes out softly. “I have a condition too!" "Go on please!” “I won't be working with you at the company! And can we live separately?” She asked, and I frowned at the last part. “How do you intend to make it look real to the outside world if we were to be living separately? As the wife of a famous billionaire, all eyes especially the media eyes will be on you, finding faults from all angles!” I explained, and she breathes out softly, again. “I am smarter than she is! No man will flirt with my wife even if it a contract marriage!” I said inwardly. “Do you agree to my first request th
“Thank you, Sir! You don't look bad yourself!” She replied. “Hummm…” “Go ahead!" I said when she hesitated from saying something. “Have you been able to call Murphy? His mobile number isn't connecting any more!” “Are you that worried about him?” I asked wondering if I should be happy about this or not. “He is my very good friend, of course I will be worried about his safety!” She said as a matter of fact. “While I believe he is fine, but I haven't heard from him either. His line isn't connecting just like you rightly observed!” I said, suddenly annoyed for no reason. “If you say so! But kindly let me know whenever you can reach him!” “No problem!” I said before opening the door to a place that I haven't been to in a very long while. “Is this your…?” She turned to stare at me, looking surprised. “Yeah, it is!” I said feeling proud of my decision of bringing her here. “This is beautiful!" You must have spend a great part of your childhood here!" She said, running her elegan
