The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Work mission
My eyes stared, unblinking at the white ceiling,I was left pondering, as I had always been the last 8 days.The grays of my eyes, fastening on the very grains of the white paint coating the ceiling of my bedroom,Even in the dull light my eyes had grown accustomed to every dip, every rise in the rough paint.It was surely due to the fact that my eyes kept wandering to said ceiling in the early hours of every morning, when I lay awake in bed, sleep eluding me from overthinking.My eyes find the areas where the paint strokes were brighter, the areas where they had faded from oldness,My eyes find the lone bulb in my room, its light turned low the night before, counting the seconds till I could nudge Ajax awake,Dawn found me awake, thin tendrils of faded light crawling across my bedroom floor, with every dance of the curtains at my window,Like I had been doing for the past 8 days, I watch as the tendrils become longer, brighter, spilling across my bedroom floor as morning arrived fast

With a piercing look he stared, hand neatly folded together on top of the laptop I expected him to be occupied with,He stared at me with a forlorn look, something akin to longing etched unto his face.‘But that was impossible, wasn’t it’, I tell myself, writing it off as something else.‘I might as well get this over with’, standing up from my comfort, I walk closer to this man with a confusing face, whipping my phone out of my handbag,‘Good morning Mr. Valero’, my head downturned to the light of my phone screen, I look anywhere but his eyes, lest my mind gets taken back to impossible soft gazes of days before, Lest those whirlpools of sadness draw me straight to defeat.‘Good morning’, he replies me with that distractingly soft voice,I clear my throat.‘You have your final suit fitting in twenty minutes’, I relay his first schedules for the day,‘We should leave now if you’re to meet up’A huff of disbelief leaves my lips,‘He was supposed to be out of his chair by now, wrestling

‘We’re here’, I announce before he was able to reply to my question, parking and turning off the engine.He eyes stays on me for a long time before he pulls open his door and slides out,I pull open mine too attempting to follow him, but he stops me, leaning in and grabbing his briefcase.‘Wait here, I won’t be long’,Closing back the door, I fold my arms together and watch him walk into the building.A scoff pass through my lips again, as I roll the question in my head.‘What stupid question’, I push it to the back of my mind hoping he’d forget the ridiculous question in the process of conversation.I hoped he’d get consumed by his usual ridiculous anger at everyone affiliated with his mother and forget this attempt at reconciliation,‘I didn’t want it, I didn’t want to reconcile with someone who doesn’t even see he’s at fault’Staring unblinkingly at the silent landscape I count reasons why reconciliation was not needed.I just needed to hold out for one more day and Simon would be

He stares at me for a while before sitting down on the chair opposite me, facing me,‘Well, get to it’, my eyes narrows to slits as I watch the forlorn look on his face.‘You said..’ he begins but I interrupt before he continues,‘Yes I said it, and it’s true, you are responsible for destroying my life’‘My life is in this mess because of you’‘Because I married you, I became a hideous gold digger, left to be picked apart by hounds’‘How was that my fault’, Simon had the guts to look confused, running his hands through his hair and it send a gong off in my head.What is the point of this conversation, if you’re not going to take responsibility for your actions’, my voice sounds loud, resounding in the office.‘How am I supposed to take this as an attempt at solving past issues when you won’t even admit you’re wrong’, fire lights up in my belly, my heart an acidic mess in my chest,‘How am I wrong!, how is it my fault!’, confusion still murks his face, his voice rising in tempo.‘I’m d

I push open the large doors out of Trove like someone chased, hurried away from the building like I had fire at my heels, hurried with a singular purpose to get away from this man with words that dripped equal parts hope and despair straight to my festering heart,The moment I had felt his hold slip further, I grabbed my bag from the floor and was out of his office like a light.Even when my heart told me to go back to him, to go back to that confused man, help him sort through his feelings, And maybe, just maybe my heart would heal in the process,But, I couldn’t think about my heart now, I couldn’t throw caution to the wind based on just a tiny flicker of hope that could well be imaginings, based on words spoken by a confused man.I couldn’t not when I had a son to take care of, I couldn’t risk the only source of my happiness this last 6 years in pursuit of happiness that was surely an illusion.So I calm my thumping heart while climbing into a bus to Ajax’s school, tamp down the a

Morning of the opening ceremony had me staring at my tools for undercover operation, a snicker on my lips,I had dropped off Ajax in school and came back home, to ready myself for the task at hand.‘Remind me why you’re doing this again’, I ask myself, trying to make sense of the stupidity I was exhibiting.I could listen to him, hunker down at home, with the pretense of being sick, and wait for news of his departure on the TV.Wait for reporters to give their account of what happened at the opening ceremony of the new merger.But no, I decided to court danger, to thrust myself into the midst of people who wanted to pick me apart.I try listing reasons in my head why this was a good idea, but come up with none.I was going just to see him one last time, to kiss my first love goodbye from afar, to remind myself why choosing to ignore his confusion was better than dealing with it.It was better to tell myself the truth rather than deceit, I was going because I would miss him.Despite t

I was taken back to the day of our wedding, when he walked into the church cathedral and as he walked in I got stunned by the looks of the man who was to be my husband.When he walked down that aisle and I forgot my niggling annoyance for the fact that he was late,Now stunned was an understatement, he looked like he walked right out of my fantasies.He look dashing in his dark blue tuxedo, opting for a color similar to SM colors, like his mother,His hair, looked different from the slicked back monotones I was used to, it was slightly tousled, his midnight black hair falling over his face and eyes in just the right way,My mouth drops open when I see he’s actually smiling, A genuine smile,One that stretched from ear-to-ear, splitting his face and not just the diplomatic one he usually wore. I guessed he was actually happy for this, happy that his work for the past few months came out successful.I have to remind myself to close my mouth, to adjust the hand holding the camera over

Stooping down I try to gather the pieces of memories I captured, picking up the I.D card and wig.Standing up I see he’s frozen, still on the spot where I slapped him, watchful eyes following my every movement.I turn to go, clutching broken pieces in my hands, tears still clouding my vision‘Wait’, he stretches his hand towards me‘I’ll take you home’‘You must be stark raving mad’, my eyes still blurry, the words are out of my mouth in an instant, anger and bitterness following them.‘You are not in a condition to be walking about right now’, his eyebrows scrunches together,‘I can get home myself, just as I’ve been getting home myself for most of my life’, I blink fresh tears back trying to clear my vision.‘Just stay, at least till you get yourself together, my car is close by’, he points in a direction and I see his car parked few paces away,‘Fine’, I nod, gesturing for him to lead the way,He unlocks the car, pulling the door open for me to slide into and I enter putting the pi

The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Pondering
My eyes flutter open, looking around the dimly lit room,In our passion induced haze, we didn’t even turn on the lights,The only source of light was the one streaming across the dark blinds whenever they fluttered open.Over the past hours Simon and I had alternated between love making and drifting off to sleep when spent,My back side was pressed flush against him as he slept, his hand across my waist and his soft breaths against the back of my neck,We were both very naked under white cotton covers and my body still tingled from the past hours of passion my skin clammy against his heated own.My eyes flick about the room noticing the absence of furniture here also, the only thing in the large room was the bed and another cloth covered furniture.From the size of the bed, it would be Simon's room and my eyes rake across the dark walls and white tiled floor,I look up and see there's also a chandelier but not as magnificent in size and beauty, The dull lightening makes it difficult

At first he stills, stuck in the moment of torture then the next second he hand wraps around my waist like a vice fitting my body against his like a glove,My head tilts further as he kisses me with ferocity,His lips are soft as he drags mine to his mouth, sucking on it like someone starved,Taking his upper lips into my mouth, I suck with equal passion, I work my tongue into his mouth and when he sucks on it delicious tingles spread down to the base of my spine, He plunges his into mine, and all the heat in my body pulls to my stomach, I drag my hands across the broad and tensed muscles in his back, anchoring myself to himHis tongue teases, brushing then sliding against mine and my back arches, my chest pressing against his,Hands sliding across my back, his fingers come to rest against the soft skin of my waist, playing against the hem of my dress shirt,My skin prickles at the point where his fingers brushes bare skin where my shirt had ridded up and heat pulls between my legs

My eyes slip close as he instructed and I understand the reason seconds after when a blinding light suddenly filled up the room.I wait for my eyes to adjust before sliding them open, still very much aware of Simon breathing against the shell of my ear,My mouth drops open in awe as I look up at the source if light A massive chandelier, hanged from the center of the high ceiling, magnificent in its size,It was made up from a gold branch and crystal clear flowers and hanging from the large branch of gold were numerous crystal flowers in bloom connected to the branch by thin twigs the same enchanting gold color,The whole chandelier was a large inverted blooming flower, containing tiny flower blooms connected to each other by crystal strands, In each flower bed rested miniature bulbs of pure white light, intricately connected beads of crystal hanging from each flower petal, spilling light- gold and silver in hue across the large living room.And my mouth stayed open, even the spine t
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Puppet
Like a puppet on strings I get up and follow him, pulled by the alluring magnet that was his pleading voice, only grabbing my phone in my hands at the last moment.‘Where are we going', I only ask this question when we exit Trove’s building, in the parking lot,Concern bleeding into me when he beats me to the drivers side,‘I’ll drive', he says as his only reply‘Where are we going', I ask again when he opens the door and slides in, motioning for me to get in.Huffing at his elusiveness, I turn to the front passenger seat and slide in.He pulls out of the parking lot, eyes unwaveringly focused on the road.‘You’ve not answered my question’, I say, crossing my hands across my chest, not minding the smirk he shot at me before turning back to the road.‘I should have known something was wrong when you gave me that puppy eyed look', I glare at him, the words rolling out of my mouth, unexpected even to me,A surprised laugh burst from his mouth, and he stares at me, mirth in his eyes for

Explaining to Ajax the next morning was harder than I expected,‘You were so late yesterday', we were preparing for the day, Ajax for school and me for work,My head felt like it was splitting in halves, as I was trying to give an explanation while dealing with a hangover.‘I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what happened’, Ajax was staring at me, hands akimbo, a pout on his lips, refusing to put on his uniformI stand up from the dresser, walking to him and squatting to his eye level,‘I told you Ajax, I got held up at work, I was so busy, I forgot about the time', I look up at a pouty face, trying to get through to him.‘Liar!', he turns away from me, going to rest against the wall, hands folded.The sound, shrill to my ears sends an arrow straight to my head, compounding the headache I was currently dealing with,A tired exhale escapes my lips and I get up and walk towards him again.‘Adam said you were not at work, he said he looked all over for you and you were not there',

‘Taxi's here', I jump up at Simon's words phone in hand, heading for the door,I hear hurried movements towards me and I turn to face Simon, impatient roiling through me,‘What is it', my eyebrows pinch together, a frown on my face.In his hands is a face cap and he places it on my head,Also placing a mask on my face, he slides the hands over my ears, fingers lingering, brushing back hair strands and tucking them behind my ear,‘One can’t be too careful', my frown deepens as I turn away from eyes that latched unto mine with worry, words tempting me to stay.I pull the door open, hurrying out, towards the elevator.As I enter, Simon slides in beside me,‘Don’t follow….’, I start to say but he waves his phone in front of my face,‘I called the taxi remember’, I bite my lips to keep from replying him, folding my arms across my chest with a huff as the door slides close,‘Call me when you get home', Simon pays for the ride as I slide into the taxi and I shut the door against his voice, e

Tina's POVMy voice is a confused pitch, as I stare at the unfamiliar grey ceiling,I blink up at it again, my eyes turning to look at the figment of imagination next to me,My eyes goes to the lips of said illusion tinged red and my head splits open with a headache, realization ringing a bell in my head,‘F**ck, f**ck, f**ck', I spring upward staring at very real Simon in front of me.I stumble away from him, away from the strange bed I was just lying in,‘Be careful’, Simon gets up too, a lone hand reaching for me,‘What the hell am I doing here', my eyes travel round the apartment, my head trying to piece together what was happening, my mind doing a bad job of recollecting.My roaming eyes arrive at the strange shirt on my body, smelling suspiciously like the man in front of me,‘Why am I in your shirt!' I turn wide eyes on him, my voice turning shrill,‘Nothing happened’, he raises his hand, an innocent look rolling onto his face,‘Yeah right’, my head spins, the slight sting in m

Simon’s POVShe looks at me, my words sinking in, taking root in her mind and I see tears, blossoming in her eyes, running down her cheeks,‘You’re fine now, you’ll be fine’, I pull her into my embrace as the tears roll down silently,After a while, I hold her at arm’s length, my eyes on her tear streaked face, I bring her face towards mine kissing the tears on her cheeks, kissing her eyes still filled with tears, She draws closer to me, wrapping her hands around my neck, and crashing her lips on mine.My arms wrap around her waist, dragging her closer to me,I kissed her, she kissed me, our lips danced together with a fever, trashing against the other as I pulled her even closer, till there wasn’t a breath of air between us.My lips teased hers and she sucked mine as I dragged her up my body, tilting her head back a little, plundering her lips further,Her mouth cracks open wider as she moans into mine and my tongue delves in, sliding into her mouth, tasting every corner,My tongue

God I’m so hungry’, I recline in my chair, raising my hands to place them at the back of my head,I bask in the silence of my office, peace in my heart.Peace from finally being free from a long term nuisance,‘My attention shifts to how I would face my mother, when she discovered Sarah was out of my life, I could already imagine the triumphant smile on her face, the word ‘I told you so” rolling out of her mouth.I already had to deal with one of those knowing looks, the morning of the opening ceremony.I had told her I wanted to keep working in Trove and the first word to come out of her mouth was “I knew it”,‘I knew you would finally come around’, I had sucked it up and listened to her minutes of ranting,‘I guess things are going well with you and Tina then’, she gave me a knowing look, conniving smile on her lips,‘This is not about Tina’, I refused immediately,‘This is about me, what I want for myself’,‘I’m tired of people telling me that I was handed everything I have on a s
