A PAINFUL REALIZATION. Ares.“Yes I was saying something, Ares”. She told me, her hand still on my leg.“Ohh, what were you saying then? Please repeat it, I kinda lost myself for a while”. I said and smiled apologetically as I scratched my head. She sighed then she started talking.“Well, I was saying you shouldn't let them bother you and they are not also worth your thought and your time. After all, they got what they deserved too so you really shouldn't stress yourself over them”. She repeated, looking me in the eye.“Yeah yeah, true. I'll keep that in mind, thanks”. I said, not meeting her gaze. I really didn't want us to talk about this again. I desperately needed something else to say so as to change the topic.“Woah, all that talking made me hungry. I'll head out and get something to eat. Do you want anything?” I said, changing the topic and hoping she'll do the same.I intentionally talked about going out to eat to see her reaction. I knew she could cook but I just wanted to p
A CHERISHED MOMENT. Winnie.I gasped at the sudden realization. Ohh my God. When did this happen? How did I fall in love with someone that probably doesn't feel anything for me? How did I fall in love with someone that got married to me just to retain his position as the CEO of his company? How did I fall in love with someone as cold and self centered as Ares? How did I fall in love with someone that I'll only be married to for a year? I kept asking myself these questions but I had no answers to them.What should I do now? I certainly can't tell him I'm in love with him because I don't think I'll be able to bear the pain of rejection. Why did I fall in love with Ares? This was not supposed to happen, not at all but I guess my stupid heart had other plans.We were just supposed to get married so that his CEO position won't be taken away from him and so that I'll be able to settle my debt then after a year, the contract will be terminated. That was the plan, I wasn't wasn't supposed t
UGLY MEMORIES. Winnie.Mum looked really stressed out and I began to imagine what it was she was doing that made her this stressed out. She's an old woman and she shouldn't be stressing herself.“Don't think too much about it my child, I actually don't stress myself. I just sit down in an air conditioned office and Judy brings documents for me to sign or he asks for my opinion on somethings.He's actually the one that does the most work”. She suddenly said as if reading my mind.“Ok then. I'm just really glad to see you”. I breathed out a sigh of relief and hugged her again. I then remembered that I wasn't done with what Judy asked me to do.“I'll be right back mum, just give me a few minutes”. I told her and immediately dashed to my room. I knew I didn't have much work left. There were just a few more people left to check. I quickly did that and ran through everything again to be sure I didn't make any mistakes. When I was sure everything was ok, I closed my laptop and left my room
WHAT DO THEY TAKE ME FOR?Ares.I couldn't believe I actually praised Winnifred for her cooking. I had never done that before, it's not in my nature to praise anybody no matter what the person does but I did it.The food she prepared was really tasty though I can't deny that and I think I'll want to be eating her food more often.I sat down on my bed when I got to my room and took my phone. I dialed Judy's number and he picked up immediately.“Good morning sir”. He said after the call had connected.“Good morning. How about what I told you about? I hope she's on her way here already”. I asked him.“Yes sir she is, she'll be there any second from now”. He replied and I ended the call.I kept my phone and got busy on my laptop. A few minutes later, I heard Winnifred squeal so loudly, I had to cover my ears. Is she that happy to see her? I didn't know she had missed the cook this much.I came downstairs and saw Winnifred running to meet the woman and almost falling the poor old lady down
A SECRET SHE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT. Winnie.We both headed to my room and sat on the couch. She showed me the three ladies she had selected in total and I showed her mine. Surprisingly, out of the ones I selected, two were the same as hers.Since she had met with all of them, I asked her her views on them and she told me. At the end of everything, we settled on a lady called Irene.Irene is in her early thirties and she's engaged. She's a brunette with hazel colored eyes. And according to mum, she's ok for the job.I called Judy and informed him about our choice.“Hello Winnifred, how are you doing? He asked after picking up the call.“I'm fine Judy and you?” I asked him.“I'm ok, thank you”. He replied.“Concerning the secretary selection, mum and I have chosen someone. Her name is Irene”. I told him.“Ohhh her. I had a feeling you guys might choose her especially with the way Mrs Catherine was just asking her different questions and didn't want to release her”. He said and chuckled.“
COULD THIS DAY GET ANY BETTER?Ares.Judy called me that night to inform me that I now have a new secretary and I told him to forward her details to me which he did after the call. I looked through everything concerning her and I was satisfied.I was also happy with the fact that Winnifred and the cook were the ones that chose her so there shouldn't be a problem. I'll meet her tomorrow to be sure she's good for the job.I finished up what I was doing and went to bed.Winnie.I woke up with mum by my side and I smiled. I didn't know when I fell asleep. I went to the mirror to look at myself and I discovered my eyes were a little bit red and I figured I must have cried myself to sleep.I went to the bathroom and had my bath. By the time I was done, mum was already awake.“Good morning mum, how was your night?” I asked her as I began blow drying my hair.“Good morning my child, it was splendid. I slept like a baby, what about yours?” She said full of smiles as she got up from the bed.“I
JEALOUSY.Ares.I came out of my room to find Winnifred downstairs. She looked really formal in her pair of black trousers and purple shirt which she tucked into the trousers. She let her hair fall down and she applied a little makeup.She looked really sexy especially with the way the trousers hugged her figure so tightly. I mentally had to talk to my dick to prevent it from getting hard.“Hey there, husband. You look really good today, are you going to work?” Her greeting surprised me. What's up with her this morning? I smiled at her words.“Well, someone seems to be in a good mood. You don't look bad either and yes, I'm going to work”. I replied and headed for the door.“Won't you have something to eat before heading out?” She asked me and I immediately stopped in my tracks.“Alright sure, since you asked”. I winked at her and sat down on one of the stools in the kitchen. I could see that she wasn't comfortable with my presence and I wondered why.“Uhmmm can you wait in the living
IRENE.Winnie.I was really shocked when we entered the building and after some time, Ares wrapped his arm around my waist. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside but I didn't know his reason for doing that.It was until I trailed his line of sight and I saw the death glare he was giving a group of guys that were obviously lusting after my body that I understood why he did it.Could it be that Ares is jealous? But, why would he be? It's not like the guys walked up to me or something, they were just staring so, why did he care? I thought of asking him about it later on but decided against it.I really didn't want anything that'll spoil the very nice mood. When we got to his office and had settled down, he called for Judy. I didn't know that Ares also wanted to see the person that mum and I had picked until he asked Judy.I saw the surprise on his face which he tried to hide when I immediately cut in and told Judy that we'd like to see her individually. Well, I have my reasons. I wan
