Julius's POVImmediately I got home I dropped my suit jacket and walked to the kitchen, what I saw stopped me at my tracks and I just stared at the scene in front of me.Vera was dancing as she mixed a bowl of sauce and poured it into the pot on the gas.I was getting fucking aroused with the way she swayed her hips and I was confused just when I came closer behind I could see she had ear pods in her ears and I just stood behind her watchingShe turned and bumped into me leaning against the marbled table to avoid touching me as she looked at me wide eyed. I was towering over her as we stood close to each other I could clearly see the fear in her eyes and it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would have been.Vera's POVI couldn't believe my eyes, Julius was standing right in front of me staring down at me.I didn't know what to do. I just stared at him.He wasn't supposed to be home for another 9 hours so why the fuck was he here.The smug smile he had on his face as his eyes searc
Vera's POVConfused was an understatement compared to what I felt at the moment.Julius never had a reason to pretend in front of Luios, so why was he nice enough to still let him in?That was beyond me and I decided not to dwell on it too much.It might as well just be some new act of his.The morning went on a little bit differently .I didn't wait 30 mins before coming down, instead I used an hour in the shower. I was just feeling like it today.I continued my routine and went down to help Mrs Juli and Selina with breakfast before I retired to my bedroom to continue my movies.I had just gotten a Netflix account and downloaded the much hyped Euphoria and I was really looking forward to bindge watching.I hadn't called Nina yet.I had been able to save everyone's contacts but she was the one out of all I just couldn't bring myself to call.Just then my phone ringtone came up and I answered it."Hey baby How are you doing" Out of everyone Lexi was the one who called the most. Somet
Julius's POVThings have juts been changing.Oddly enough I don't feel like being rude to Vera.The way I see her has changed. I feel she deserves alot more than the attitude I've been giving her.Yesterday when she helped me with my wounds I just stared at her.I don't know why but I just stared.No one had showed me so much care apart from mum,dad and Aldonis but hers felt special. Her touch was so gentle and electrifying. I'v seriously not been feeling like myself so I just summed it up to a fever.It was a stupid conclusion but it's what my mind could accept rather than I had started developing feelings for Vera.I preferred the fever."Boss"Aldonis walked in and took a curt nod.I nodded back to acknowledge him and he walked up to my table"Aldonis?""BossThere was a break in in one of our cellsAnd Ludwick escaped"Damn it! I fisted my hand, dropping it on the table with a loud bang"He wasn't alone boss.His nephew helped him.They ambushed us and also took a bunch of our inm
Vera's POVTo say I expected less from Julius would be like expecting a zebra to change his stripes.After our encounter he left me there. His words left a hole in my chest. It brought tears to my eyes every time I thought about it. I was now a prisoner and I don't think leaving was an option so I decided to accept my faith.Lexi had called and I told her everything."Why is he so obsessed with you not leaving the house?"She was just as confused as I was"I have no idea.And now I'm living like a prisoner""A rich prisoner with a drop dead gorgeous husband and two handsome hunks as friends.You have everything outside that home in it so why would you wanna go out?"I brought out the phone to check if it was Lexi I was actually talking to.When I was sure I held it back to my ear"Lexi!.You know I've always been the free type and this is so not what I'm used to.I feel like I'm suffocating"She was being such a Lexi"I can't talk to you right now.Bye"I put the phone down and sighe
Vera's POVThe kiss never left my mind.I kept remembering images of the kiss and I couldn't think of anything else.I didn't want to tell Lexi because I knew what she would say ,so I kept it to myself and bottled it up.I was making breakfast with Mrs Juli in the kitchen and as usual I was sitted enjoying her famous cookies and I zoned out"VeraVera"I blinked and shook my head coming back to my senses I let out an awkward laugh"Wanna tell me what's bothering you"I looked up and saw her staring down at me as she set down my plate of bacon and pancakes."I-its nothing"I sighed"Okay okay.So that kiss didn't mean anything"My head shot up and I looked at Mrs Juli. The mischievous grin and raised eyebrow made me blush"Who-who t-told you"I looked away to hide my red cheeks face"Aldonis is a real blabber mouth you know "She giggled at my reaction.I groaned hiding my face in my palms"It's not a bad thing to have feelings for your husband"She stressed the 'your husband'"That's
Julius's POV"She just went inside boss"One of my men informed me from the other end of the phone"Okay.Just stay at your posts and keep me updated""Yes boss"I had installed security to keep a close eye on Vera.It's been easier ,seeing as she spends most of her time in the garden within my men's reach and eye range.Yes it may be creepy but I couldn't risk it.They may plan to ambush home while I'm at work ,although their attack will be futile. My house was built like a fortress but still, I couldn't take any risks.I couldn't risk her.I found it very difficult to do basically anything when I remembered I had kissed Vera last night under the influence.I wasn't heavily drunk,I remembered small pieces, but the kiss was the part I couldn't forget.I had no idea what she thought about me now.It would be so awkward now.I was stressing over it and not paying attention to work matters; why Cyrus decided to stay home yet again.He has been doing it alot lately and I'v been suspicious
Julius's POVI drove to the location Ludwick gave me.It was indeed the correct one.It was in a deserted part of the city.I drove close to the building and walked the rest of the way on foot as the path was too narrow for my car.I walked up to what I saw was a metal door filled with rust.There were two men standing at the doors.They looked at me and I raised a brow before they opened the door.I was led through the metal rooms and finally into a dark, open space.There was a table and chair situated at the extreme left of the room.There I saw who sat opposite.It was Ludwick"Oh Julius my good friend come in come in.Take a seat"I slid my hands into my pants pocket.I walked over and sat opposite him on a plastic chair.He was lucky the wood table seperated us or else I would have stabbed him by now.I kept a straight face as I stared at him"Don't be all cold with me now Julius "He smirked at me"Cut to the chase Ludwick.Where is she?""I get it your in a rush to see if your
Julius's POVI was keeping a very good eye on Cyrus and my suspicions were just being proved.He always left the office three hours earlier than he was actually meant to and went home.I had this feeling he was after Vera and it made me angry .I kept a close watch on the camera's in Vera's room.The motion censored cameras made sure I got the whole view of what she was doing.I watched her on my laptop in my office.She walked out of her bathroom in a towel as her wet hair clung to her face.She looked beautiful as she sat using her hair dryer to blow dry her hair.Her hair covered half of her face and it reminded me of the first time we met.I smiled as I watched her gracefully comb and tend to her soft hair as the memory of it's feel came back to me.She got up and started pulling off her towel and I started getting aroused so I shut the laptop as Aldonis walked in, looking at me weird."Why do you look like you were just caught doing something you were not supposed to?"He narrowe
