“ Dean you're awake. What the hell happened? Jesus Christ! Who did you get into a scuffle with?” Nathan asked the moment Dean's eyes opened. They had called him earlier to come over to the hospital where Dean was taken to. “ Where am I? What happened?” Dean asked about to sit up but he was held back by Ava. “ I won't advise you do that, Dean. You sustained a few injuries and you should get enough rest.” “ Where are you? You're in heaven, Dean. Now, how would you like explaining yourself to the angels that you died prematurely because you were fighting over a mere girl who actually has no interest in coming back to you?” Nathan asked sarcastically and Ava touched his shoulders in a bid to tell him to relax. They should take it easy on Dean who was still recuperating. “ No, Ava. Let me say it.. I told you buddy, people change. That person right there isn't Hazel anymore, she's just a stranger. Do you know what she said when we met her at the reception?” Nath
A figure could be seen in the dark cold room as the door opened slightly, not revealing who was behind it but she knew who it was. With each step he took, she dreaded it and crawled back in fear. “ Hazel. Oh Hazel, don't run.. Why are you retreating? Come to daddy.” With each step that he took, she trembled in fear as inaudible whimpers escaped her mouth. “ You dare go against me? You? You mere woman? I am your god, Hazel. You will do whatever I say.” As he walked further, the door which had been left ajar closed with a bang and he smiled revealing a perfect dentition with white dazzling teeth. She dreaded him, she felt even more annoyed that he had this strong hold over her. “ It won't happen again, please let me out of here. Please..” But her pleas fell on deaf ears.Harry was nothing but a beast. A beast who only cared about his wants without putting the other person into consideration. “ Who's he, Hazel? How dare the both of you h
A perplexed Hazel stood there. She would be working under this arrogant man? He was the the Harry Scott Caryn told her about? “ Ms. Gilbert, I think you should apologize to the Boss.” “ What?? Apologize to this insolent man? No way!!” she stomped her legs and glared at Harry who gave a sly smile. “ Mrs. Walkers, let her be. She will come back here crawling and pleading to be taken back.” Harry walked in an exquisite manner and a furious Hazel shot at him. “ And what makes you think that I will? You would be the last person I would run to for help, Mister.” She snapped her head quickly in the direction of the interviewers and smiled. “ We are done here.” She made to walk out without a care in the world when Harry locked eyes with her. “ I like you. You're stubborn and I would love to tame that beast in you. Two days, little girl. Two days and you will come running to me.” She scoffed and walked out. “ What d
“ A young lady took you down? Impossible. Well you were right when you said she's firece. I quite underestimated what she could do like putting people like you in their places.” Harry teased and gulped down a glass of vodka. “ I think you should leave this girl alone. What exactly do you want from her?” Storm who was still in excruciating pains from the kick spoke with his hand holding his groin. “ So many things. She's a wild beast and I would relish taming her. You know, just for fun. She looks hot too..” As he spoke, Storm shook his head. Why did he even ask in the first place? That was all his boss ever did; flirt with young girls and leave them after using them a few times to satisfy his sexual libido. “ I'm afraid I might have to stop stalking her. That girl is something else. Where did a girl learn how to kick a full grown man that way?” “ Your task just begun. Bring her to me before sunset. I really do fancy this one and won't
“ Mr. Dean requested he continue his treatments at home so we will be discharging him now.” The doctor spoke slowly and it was visible she had eyes for Nathan. Why wouldn't? He was super hot and she was wet already. “ He asked to be discharged? Strange but anyways thank you doctor.” He replied innocently and held out his hand to shake hers? She died a thousand times when his skin touched hers. Just a handshake and a thousand waves of desire ran through her. Maria didn't let go. She held on more longer than expected and her eyes were fixed on his. It seemed she didn't notice the small figure beside him. It was as if the world came to a halt and it was just two of them left. “ Uhm doctor? I think you should let go of his hand now.” Dean teased and feint lines of red crept to her face. She had been caught, in the act; flirting with the cold CEO Nathan. She withdrew her hand quickly and muttered an apology whilst her gaze never left him. They didn't notic
Two months later, at Nathan's residence.. “ I hate to leave but I will be back soon. Call me if you need anything.” Nathan held Ava close as he wiped a tear off her cheek with his thumb. “ C'mon Ava, it's just three days. It's not like I'm not coming back. Besides, I would call each day.” “ I know, but- but.” She sniffed and broke down in his hands. “ Let's give the love birds some room to their selves, shall we?” Dean suggested and Megan went upstairs her room with Dean right behind her. The staffs all retired to their quarters and Ava sobbed in his hands. It's been two months since he met this woman and he was at the point in his life where he knew he had fallen deeply for a lady. She affected him so much, she was his light, his doom. She could be the ruin of him. He found himself more drawn to her than any woman he had ever been with. He was in love, he hated to admit it but it was true. He would make her his, he would put a ring on her finger but n
The flight would have been a smooth one, that's if Caryn wasn't by his side. So far, he had tried his best to keep his distance. But she wasn't giving up anytime soon. She was reluctant and he didn't seem to be interested in having a conversation. After working for an hour on his laptop, he decided to take a break. His eyes were shut but he wasn't asleep and she knew. All this was just a plot to ignore her but he wouldn't be able to, at least not for long regarding the fact that she's right beside him. “ Nathan? Are you up?” she called softly and proceeded to touch him but she withdrew her hand. His breath became deeper as he shut his eyes tightly. Didn't she take all this as a clue? That he wanted nothing to do with her? Why was it so difficult for her to comprehend? “ Nathan? C'mon, I know you are awake. Let's talk, you can't shut me out for too long.” “ What do you want?” Nathan blurted and rolled his eyes at her. “ You don't have to act that way, I know you loathe me but hea
“ Good morning handsome. Last night was awesome. We should do it this frequently.” she whispered the moment he roused up. He was still half awake and for a moment, he thought he was in his room and probably on his bed. What happened last night and why did his head pound loudly? He jolted up the moment he had flashbacks. He was kissing someone passionately and they made love. It was too much to recall so he didn't see the person face. “ What is it? Are you okay? Does your head hurt? Should be from the way you banged me hard yesterday. I must say I'm very impressed, never knew you had such sexual prowess.” she smacked and winked at him. The memories came flooding. Every single bit of it. Guilt and regret crept in and he had his hand on his head. He was dead. “ No, no, no. What have I done? What have I done? No!!” “ Calm down Nathan, why are you acting like a toddler. Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it cause you were screaming so high that I'm quite sure
[ Warning! This Chapter Contains Mature Content Not Suitable For Young Readers.] He gently unzipped my dress and the gown fell to ground. His gaze was causing more bad than good. It made me crave him more. I stepped out of it, our gaze still locked. In the past one second, Nathan has stared at my body in awe countless times. And here I was in the middle of some airplane, half naked with just my panties on. What if someone walked in? “ I will go change now. Hey, stop staring at me like that. It makes me want you more.. you have to promise to be a good boy and behave. We will have all the time in the world to worship each other's body when we are off this airplane.” “ I never said I planned to be a good boy, Aviva. Maybe I was but I changed my mind the moment I saw your smoking hot body. I really can't promise to keep my hands to myself, princess.” And he was being honest. I could make out the hunger in his voice as he spoke. I had starved this man
Hi, lovelies, I'm so excited to be back. I took a break but now, I'm are back fully. I'm so sorry for the delay. Ava and Nathan's love story is about to end.. We have just a chapter or two more to go.. And also for this last part of the book, I will be making use of the first person POV. Enjoy!! ***** “ Do you, Aviva Alexander, take Nathan Lewis to be your lawfully wedded husband?” Silence. The buzzing hall was now as silent as a graveyard. I'm sure you could hear just how loud one's heart pounded if you listened keenly. I smiled at Nathan, he had tears running freely down his face. Today, he dropped the “ Strong, arrogant CEO who doesn't give a fuck about anyone” and in it's stead, was a handsome young man who was capable of loving someone. In him I saw someone who was tamed to love, someone who doesn't know just how much love he's capable of giving because he has never given it a try. “ Uhm, I don't know if you noticed fluffy bear, but they are a
“ Nathan!” What was she doing here? It's a modeling audition for crying out loud. Nathan and Aviva folded their arms and watched her yell and whine about him being married. “ Caryn, can you slow down? By the way, who's married to you?” he asked and all eyes were fixed on them. This would serve as good entertainment while the judges were away tabulating the scores. “ Nathan Lewis, I will not have you humiliate me this way. I won't! Now, get up and let's go home.” she ordered like some boss who was passing out instructions to her employees. “ I'm not going anywhere, just yet Caryn. You can either have your seat and enjoy the show or you can choose to leave. Whichever works for you, my lady.” “ Are you being serious here? You're doing all this because of this, this ugly, classless girl? Are you not ashamed being seen with her? I'm pretty disappointed in you, Nathan. We have sophisticated, elegant and smart ladies in this city but you choose to chea
Modeling Audition, Semi-final & final. “ Nervous? I believe you will do perfectly well. You scaled through the last round remember? You will get through this also. We are rooting for you, Aviva.” “ Oh my goodness, this is the first time I have ever heard you say something positive. Thank you so much, Avery. I love you so much..” “ Girls, they are about to start. Come over.” Alex called out. Avery stared at her sister, she was grateful she had everyone back. They held hands and walked into the hall which was filled to the brim with people. Luckily, Alex had been able to secure seats for them all. “ Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the semi finals/ finals. We are pleased to see you all. After the first round, hundred people were screened out and only twenty were qualified to move on to the next stage.” “ Well, only five people will be taken from this round to go on to the final round where we will pick only two persons. B
“ Mom. I got the money and narrowly escaped death. Someone else has been framed for stealing the money.” she informed her mom on phone and the lady went hysterical. “ You got it? That's my girl. You're just like your mom, Caryn. I'm so proud of you, darling.” “ Thank you mom. I will transfer half of the money to Dad's account. I want his company to be back on its feet for good.” “ Alright love. Your father sends his regards. One more thing Caryn, be careful out there.” “ I will. I love you, I have to go now.” They were outside, with ears glued on her door. They had heard it all, but Nathan beckoned on them to follow him. They tiptoed, to avoid being heard. “ Now that we have gotten concrete evidence, what do we do next?” Hazel interrogated. “ We will let her keep the money. I'm gathering a lot of evidence and by the end of the day, she would be left with nothing. All she stole right now, is the alimony I'm supposed to pay a
“ What's going on?” There was absolute silence. If a pin had fell down, there was every certainty it would be heard. She walked in and met her beloved family in a state of distraught. She was sure they had heard the news already. “ Nathan honey, what is it? Why are you all seated there like some bunch of robots? Talk to me, somebody.” if there was one thing she was good at, it was pretense. She threw her shoes on the floor and rested her head on the couch. If they were not going to talk, then she would let them be. It was difficult to breathe as she felt a sharp pain around her neck. No one had expected it, not even Caryn herself. Nathan held her tightly around her neck, his fingers tightened every second, and his nails dug deeper into her skin. It wouldn't be long before she started bleeding. “ What are you doing, Nathan? Put her down!” Dean yelled but Nathan was no longer in control. He was infuriated and couldn't even hide it. “ N
The dim light in the room made it a bit easy to see. These days she kept her curtains closed and the lamp, off. Today, she felt switching on a candle would be better. She had been in bed all day, doing nothing but mope. Her door moved slowly, and the dim light barely made it easy to see the lady's face. The woman who had birthed her, but now, it felt like they were two strangers meeting for the first time. Lina had walked in, without the tiniest courtesy of knocking. Ever since the issues with Ava, her family treated her like a complete outcast, her dad not excluded. They avoided her like a plague. The only activity that brought them together as a family, was eating at the dinning table. On most days, she would have her meal upstairs in her room. She decided to tag along to Ava's audition, not because she was invited but she felt like going. Rolling her eyes and heaving a deep sigh, she rolled to the other end of the bed. Her back was turned to Carolina,
Now he knew why Dean made that prayer yesterday. He knew she was a bad cook but he didn't think it would be this bad. What happened last night was a mistake that would never repeat itself. Penne pasta with vodka sauce and some parmesan cheese. After the funny but useful prayer from Dean, they all grabbed their cutleries and proceeded to feast on the meal she had made. Dean went first and spat it out the moment it got into his mouth. “ Hell nah, I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this with y'all, I will ask the maid to make me something.” “ But it's really not that bad, Dean. Just close your eyes and chew quickly. Caryn you are such a good cook, no doubts.” Hazel spoke, forcing a spoonful of poison into her mouth. “ Do you like it? I did well, right?” she asked innocently. Nathan nodded, they all nodded. Hazel made Dean take a few more spoons of the terrible concoction she made. And for a sec, they had initially thought it wouldn't be as bad as
“ Why does the room look like someone went through our things.” he inquired after taking a thorough look around the room. Something wasn't right, the drawers had items sticking out. The wardrobe wasn't properly closed, the pillows were wrongly arranged and the bed looked like someone had jumped on them. With a smile of deceit, she rubbed her palms and walked closer. Nervously, she asked. “ What do you mean?” her voice was shaky and her heart was pounding so loudly. “ I mean..” but on second thoughts, there was really no need to engage her in a conversation or questions her, knowing fully well she would deny ever searching for only God knows what, thereby turning the house into a mess. “ Nothing. Hazel is home, she lost her baby. I thought you should know.” he said with his gaze fixed on nothing in particular. “ Poor little thing. I will go check on her later, she must be feeling so sad at the moment.” Playing along, he replied.“ Yeah, she
