Marie's POVHe reached for his pocket as he brought out his mobile phone. My jaw dropped as I saw he was using an IOS, but not just that, the moment the phone unlocked, I saw his half nude picture.Exposing his full abs and cupped chest. "Did I just see 8 and?" I mumbled within as I slowly raised my eyes to him. In the photograph, his shorts were slightly down, exposing his waistline."He was such a handsome man there." I shrieked as he apologized one last time as he turned off his phone. And then, before he could slide the phone in, his Truecaller popped up Rex's name and he answered the call and this time around, his elbow greased my breast. As the tip of my breasts got a little bit compressed by his elbow, which he quickly moved, I saw myself reacting to his touch almost immediately. I wore a normal half cut, which definitely meant he just felt my boobs. I hiccuped this time around as I patted my chest in light embarrassment. He continued for a while as he spoke inaudibly, and
Clark's POV.I sat down on my chair, as I kept on spinning on my chair. I couldn't get my eyes off her and all the incidents that occurred. "Darn it, Clark. You need to focus, man!!' I groaned as I lowered my head, then I continued with my work but then, within a few minutes, my head was up again as I kept on staring at her.I got up as I walked down to the door. All I could hear my wolf saying loudly in my head was, 'meet her,' 'go say something at least to her,' 'can't you see? She's also attracted to you!!' And the worst thing my wolf did right now was to keep replaying how my hand had greased her butt, making my cheeks flutter even more.I looked at my blank screen as I brushed up my face with my hands. I tapped my keyboard, bringing up the screen light again as I started arranging the directory containing every hotel and resort in New Kingston. It was a long research trying to get all the records and also, their websites, their contact information, and their mission statement. R
New Kingston. The Eleven.Elena's POV.I was walking down the lobby as I bumped into someone. His scent was masculine, making me wonder who he was. I immediately lowered down, squatting down as I gathered my files that were now scattered on the floor. "Oh! I… I'm sorry." I heard his husky voice echo in my ear as I was gathering the files. He assisted me with some of the files as he remained quiet for a while. "Hope I didn't make you a minute late?" He chuckled softly as he raised his head up.I met with his beautiful hazel eyes, which made me smile. "Not at all. Not at all." I said as I tried to calm down my nerves. I looked at his eyes again, wondering how a guy would have hazel eyes. But then, he still managed to stand out with those beautiful hazel eyes, and his long lashes made him uniquely different.Not like they were too long but then, he had something extra when it comes to a guy having lashes."Oh! Umm." He smiled as he looked at me, squinting his eyes a bit. "Guess you a
Collins’ POV.My great mood hadn't faded by the time I returned back to the bar which was located on the beach. I looked at the lovely and lively serenity as I watched how it was calm, and I could hear the waves of the sea. I loved the harmonious view of it and finally, I felt like this was where my long run was definitely coming to an end. I still couldn't get the lady I bumped into out of my head, and I couldn't deny the fact that she was the reason why I was still having this excitement inside me. My first day as the newly employed supervisor was going perfectly fine. I wished to see more of her but then, ‘what if I never get to see her again?’ I groaned at the thought of it as I remembered that she wasn't just any worker here, but she was the personal secretary of the boss himself. I turned around as I looked at the skyscraper which was so high, that the sun could possibly blind the eyes of anyone who dared to look that high. I turned on my current favorite song as I wanted a
Marie’s POV.“Aunty. Marie.” Kanu and Kiana screamed at the top of their voices the moment I stepped in. “We have missed you a lot.” Kiana said with so much excitement in her voice as I carried them up. “I have missed you both too.” I said with a broad smile, then kissed both of them. “And how has school been?” I asked them, while I looked at both of them. “I made new friends today.” Kiana mumbled as she looked at me. I could feel the full blown excitement as she went on talking about her newly made friends.Elena stepped out from the kitchen as she looked at me. I could see she was stressed out and she wasn’t in the mood to have any chat. I dropped Kanu and Kiana down as I allowed them to continue with their play. “Hey, you don’t look good. Are you okay?” I asked as I looked at her. She rolled her eyes as she looked at me.“I am. You know, I still can’t explain what Rex is up to. Why would he make me his personal secretary in the first place?” She sighed as she rolled her eyes, t
Owen's POV.BOECH."Hey, good morning, Owen." I turned around as I saw Tricia. I looked at her red lipstick which made her full lips more seductive."Good morning, Tricia." I responded as I smiled broadly. "How was your night?" I asked, while I walked her down to where her desk was."I'm fine." She smiled, tilting her lips as she looked at me. "And you? How was your night?" She winked at me as she looked at me.I knew what she was doing. I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at her. "My night was beautiful too, Tricia." I responded as I looked at her. She smiled at me as she bit her lower lip. "I know what you are doing." I smirked as I looked at her eyes. "About the night in the bar, can we…" "It's totally fine." She chuckled softly as she looked at me. "I loved it and I am looking forward to going to the beach for the movie night." She said with a smile as she looked at me."Really?" I sneered as I smiled. "What exactly did you love?" I questioned as she blushed. "That is it!!" I c
CLEVELAND. Connor & Co Real Estate Firm.Helen's POV.There was something soothing about the lawyer's party that Kingsley held, and for the first time, I stayed up really late at night. Even though my body was exhausted from meeting new people. I loved everything about Cleveland, and having Kingsley spend the remaining hours of the party with me was super fantastic. I must say, he isn't just a devilishly hot CEO but a one hell of a crazy Alpha male. And today, I was more than excited about returning to work. As a young lawyer, I knew I had a lot to do, and growing up in New Kingston and being a member of one of the powerful founding families in New Kingston, I knew what being a lawyer came with. I missed the whole night partying with Owen, Jack, Tricia, Logan and Peterson. Logan was the youngest amongst us but then, he was regarded as our equal because he was from the most powerful founding families, and his father, Alphonso Bohen was the reason I was in Cleveland land. I walked i
New Kingston. The Eleven.Collins Morgan POV.If there is anything I came to desire, it was to linger in this place. I was quick to fall in love with the quiet and stillness of the place. And most importantly, the lady I had bumped into yesterday.It felt like forever as throughout that day, I wasn't opportune to set my eyes on her again. I enjoyed my new job as a supervisor, because I had no distractions around, and also, another day to have a peaceful life without shutting the windows of my room because of the neighbors who lived next door. This was my dream job in getting a perfect apartment and I no longer had to wake up very early in the morning and drive my motorcycle around New Kingston, searching for a job. And most importantly, no impromptu job invitation that ends up ruining my day and leaving me completely frustrated after I return home without a job. Talking about me, Collins Morgan, the guy with long eyelashes, hazel eyes and light brown freckles, I had one thing I was
Jayson Holmes' POV."Oh! Here you are." I mumbled as I walked up to the VIP section which was occupied by the children of the founding member children.It was such an honor seeing the shock on their faces as I walked in, interrupting their conversation."Uncle. Jayson?" Logan jolted up immediately as he looked at me. He couldn't take a step forward as the shock had overwhelmed him already. It's been fifteen years since I left New Kingston, and there was only one thing that brought me back to New Kingston after all these years of staying away.And that was to find the killer behind Liam Bohen's tragic death. Everyday, I curse myself upon realizing that I had ignored my wolf's constant disturbance. I would have been there that fateful day when he got murdered, but then, I thought my brother-in-law, Alphonso Bohen, had better ways of protecting his own heir, Liam.I looked at all of them, and all it did was to bring back memories. Memories I wished to bury forever.Not just happy memo
Alicia's POV"Good morning, Logan!" Amelia greeted him as she dropped the rag she was holding. She walked down to the table he had occupied as she held her notepad in her hand, ready to take down their order.I raised my head and I couldn't help but wonder why he was still looking at me. The moment our eyes met, he quickly moved his eyes away as he looked at Amelia now. "Just coffee!!" He responded coldly as he tilted his lips. Amelia returned to the counter as she arranged the coffee he had ordered. Within a few minutes, he was done and he got up from his chair after dropping his bill on the tray."Alicia, you are coming with me!!" He snapped as he looked at me.Before I could even give him a response, he was gone. "Is he okay?" Amelia asked me in a whisper as she looked at me. "He looks cold. Did one of his numerous girlfriends break his heart?" She chuckled softly as she looked at me. "You can continue with your work." I snapped as I rolled my eyes before picking up my handbag.
Alicia's POV."I guess you are really enjoying your time working for Logan as his personal assistant." Amelia chuckled softly as she looked at me. I had dropped by at the Cass bar. She had no better choice than to retain her work there. That was the only way to raise some money. "Enjoying my time as his personal assistant?" I repeated, placing so much emphasis on the 'assistant' as I looked at her. "You always seem to have a way when it comes to sarcasm, isn't it?" I rolled my eyes as I rested on the counter. She chuckled softly again as she looked at me as she cleaned the cup, getting ready for the work day ahead."Oh, Alicia! Don't be hilarious." She rolled her eyes before winking at me. "We both know that you two happen to have this little love sparks going on and if there is anyone getting in the way of it, then it's gonna be you, Alicia." She snapped as she piled up the clean cups together. "Can we not go there now, Amelia?" I scowled as I looked at her. "I already told you t
Rex's POVI paused immediately as Clark turned to me. From his looks, I could tell everything that was currently going through his mind and yes, I admit, still referring to her as my mate was something stupid. I groaned as I tilted my lips. I raised my head upwards, like I was trying to hold back my tears from rolling down my cheeks. "Okay, it's totally fine!" I cursed as I looked at him, rolling my eyes as I knocked off the jealousy that was heavily on my chest. "You don't have to look at me like that, Clark, and you know it." I scowled as I walked past him.I looked outside the room we were in as I tried calming down my racing heart and also, my head was banging heavily."I know that either way, maybe you are still affected by everything. You just have to stop overthinking everything. I know Elena." He replied as he walked up to me. He rested his right hand on my left arm as he looked at me. I turned to him, forcing out a smile that faded soon as well."She is never coming back.
Elena's POVI felt my heartbeat in an unrhythmically pattern and then, I perceived an unfamiliar woody, musky scent that made my nerves stand. I instantly fell in love with the freshly musky scent of whoever it was, who had just saved me from the humiliation of falling publicly before everyone. There was something totally odd about whoever had caught me from falling. My eyes remained shut for a while as I still couldn't get myself into believing what just happened and yes, I still had the full fleshed shame that came with a broken heel and also tripping off."Why do I all of a sudden feel safe here?" I tightened my eyes further before gathering the confidence to open it again. And my eyes had met with those familiar eyes that instantly struck me."Him? Him again?" I whimpered within as I felt my cheeks fluster. "Oh no, not now, please!" I cried as I pulled off, standing upright this time around as he looked at me."Umm, thank you!" I mumbled as I squatted to pick up my broken heel th
Elena's POVMarie's phone buzzed repeatedly."Marie?" I called out in a loud voice as I looked at the kitchen. "Someone is calling your line, you better hurry and answer it." I responded as I looked away."Was picking her even necessary?" I cursed as I forced the bread inside my mouth before sipping my tea."Are you being serious right now, Elena?" She scowled as she got back to the mini dining room, then she looked at my plate to see that I still had a handful of scrambled eggs plastered on my plate. She picked up her phone as she looked at the caller ID. She raised her eyes as she stared at me for a while, with a smile that seemed to be gradually escaping from her mouth.I rolled my eyes as I knew what she was about to say next."Come on, Elena!" She snapped as she finally had those broad smiles on. "This is him just being a gentleman and nothing more than that. Can you stop making it look like a big thing?" She queried as she looked at me.Her phone rang again and this time, she i
Elena's POV"Are you sure you saw him?" She asked again as she looked at me."Nah, maybe I am just overthinking things." I chuckled softly as I looked at her. "Sure?" She asked again. "I know you saw something. Maybe we could just ask him when we get to work. Because there is absolutely no way I would believe that he is actually the new owner of this place." She chuckled.I knew she was only trying to ease the whole negative and tense mood right now but then, that wasn't what I wanted. "I guess he is a really mysterious guy." I snapped as she chuckled softly. "We have an hour and 45 minutes left to prepare and get to work. Hope you are keeping to time?" I sneered as I looked at her. "Why can't I just have a day off?" She groaned as she pouted her eyes out. "Maybe you should consider getting laid by Clark then." I scoffed as I rolled my eyes. "Heyyy, come on." She laughed lightheartedly as she looked at me. "But then, on a second thought, that wouldn't be a bad idea." She winced
Elena's POV"You won't believe it." She said excitedly as she crashed down on the sofa next to the window. "He asked that I get your boyfriend's record for the day." She whined as she stared at me."Boyfriend?" I chuckled softly. "Did you ever give me a boyfriend?" I scowled. "And when did I even mention that I was interested in having a boyfriend?" I queried this time around as I looked at her. "Oh! Come off it. You know, you can't pretend forever." She scoffed as she looked at me. "I know you know who I am talking about. So, I will continue with my beautiful ever after story." She said as she chuckled softly and excitedly.I stared at her for a while as I could only see her mouth moving, and how she moved her hands because of the whole narration she was making.I still couldn't understand how she fell so deeply for Clark. But then, I couldn't come in between whatever she believes that she is having with Clark. I hated the fact that the only lady I had gotten as my best friend was
Elena's POV.I yawned, stretching my body on my bed as my alarm clock rang. I groaned as I was not fully ready yet to get up from my bed. "F*ck! F*ck!!" I cursed as I stretched my hand to the cabinet as I pressed the top of the alarm clock as it stopped ringing out loud. And even before I could return to my peaceful sleep, I felt a heavy thud on the bed as Kanu was now on my body. "Mummy?" He called out as he kept poking me and the moment I raised my head up, finally opening my heavy eyes, I saw Kiana who was running with so much force, also getting ready to make a jump on the bed. "Mummy, good morning." They both chorused the moment Kiana successfully landed on the bed. I groaned as I wrapped them in my hand. I printed numerous kisses on them as they giggled. "Mummy?" Kanu said excitedly as he dragged my right cheek, and Kiana did the same to my left cheek as they both burst into laughter. "Are you two making fun of mummy?" I chuckled as well. I remained on the bed with them f
