Marcie's POVAs I followed him into the restaurant, everywhere was clear, and the waitresses there attended to us really well.I wondered why he sent everyone away from the restaurant so that we could eat alone.I did not want to reason it too much, so I had to put all my focus on the meals that the waitresses were bringing.I noticed that the food he requested was too much, so I told him that I would not be able to finish all the food alone.He insisted that I eat the food, and then he stared at me as I was eating.I was not comfortable with the way he was looking at me. I felt like telling him that he was looking too much.I almost could not hold my spoon properly again, and then he started asking me if I was scared of him.That question really got me angry because I did not see any reason why he should be staring at me in that manner and still expect me to be comfortable.I had to reply to him harshly to prove to him that I was not scared of him at all. He laughed like a psychopath
Carsen's POVAs she went out of my sight, I had to get down from the car and go to my office. She should have gotten in and settled down already, so I had nothing to fear.Walking down the hallway, I tried to avoid looking at where she was seated because I wanted to avoid being suspected of having anything to do with her.As soon as I passed her desk, I noticed a staff member who ran to her. I was not really free with the way she approached her, and I definitely knew that it was going to be something between me and Emily.I was curious to know what she was going to tell her, so I stood in front of the elevator, watching their body language.From the scenario, they were exchanging greetings at first, and then they were mute for a while.Immediately I noticed that Emily was getting uncomfortable; I had to go there to dismiss their conversation.As I was getting close, I overheard the young lady asking her if we live together or something. I did not really hear what she was saying, but I
Marcie's POVAfter I had arranged the books he had scattered all over the floor, I called him to see if I was done with the work.He looked at the neat job and said that I did not arrange it well, demanding that I arrange it according to their colors after I had done it the right way, which is alphabetically.I was so angry because he made me clean up the mess he created just because he was looking for a piece of paper.I wondered if he was out for my life because if he did not know where he kept the paper, he could have waited for me to get back from getting the delivery.But he went ahead to bring down a whole section of the shelf just for it. I wished I could get hold of that paper; I could have torn it into pieces out of anger.I made it clear to him that I was not going to arrange anything according to the color for him because he could have told me the pattern of arrangement before letting me do the job.He stood up from where he was seated and then went over to what I arranged
Marcie's POVI stomped out of his office because I did not expect him to act the way he did. The both of us literally shared a moment together, yet he did not take it as something serious.All he did was ask me to leave his office before he did something stupid. I was actually heartbroken because I was not the person that kissed him.All I did was reciprocate the love, and immediately he realized himself, he pulled away.I went downstairs and headed for the restroom. I was going to shed tears, so I did not want anyone to notice what was going on.As soon as I got into the bathroom, I went into one of the toilet stalls. There I stayed, shedding tears, thinking of what I had done to myself.Was it that he was joking with my feelings because I had realized that I actually had something for him in there?I kept thinking why he always acted weird anytime he treated me right. This was not the first time he was acting that way, and I do not think it is going to be the last time.As I sat the
Carsen's POVI did not know what to do because the feelings I was having after kissing her were a bit too dangerous for her.I did not want to hurt her or do anything further with her in the office, so I had to send her out.She wanted more of me, but I could not risk it at all. I was on the verge of marking her, so I had to send her away.As she left disappointed, I did not know what to do; all I was doing was trying to protect her from myself.I sat down thinking of what I could have done and also trying to convince myself that I was not too harsh to her.I did not want to hurt her feelings on purpose; all I did was protect her. As I sat in my seat, the only thing that kept ringing in my brain was to spend a quality and unforgettable moment with her."You keep hurting her feelings with every single action you take. You were the one to make the first move. You have always been the one, so why torment her unnecessarily?" Rowan started judging me.The thing was that I did not want to f
Carsen's POVI drove off from her area, but I did not know where to start looking at her from at all.I was so confused, and I did not know what to do. I did not want her to get hurt at all, and if anything bad happened to her, I would be the one to be blamed.If anyone did not find out, I still would not forgive myself.The point was that if I called her, she would still not give me her location.If I had had an idea that she was going to get herself into trouble, I would not have thought of giving her the day off.I just wanted to make it up to her since I had made her angry, but now, I have fully realized that it is way better to go straight to the point.A simple apology would have solved all the problems and still not result in anyone further.If I had made her feel better, she would not have thought of going out to drink."This is exactly what I was trying to avoid, and now, you have finally ruined her life. You could see that she had a lot of guys around her there. " You had be
Marcie's POVI did not care about what people had to say about me. Everyone passing around looked at me as though I was putting on the wrong side of a cloth.All I needed at that moment was to clear my head and forget about the pains and stress Carsen has been putting me through.I ordered drinks and kept drinking as I found a bit of happiness with them.Two guys walked up to me, but I was uninterested in what they said. I was there for a reason and nothing else."Hey pretty lady, do you mind if we sit down with you?" one of the guys said to me.I was not in the mood to talk, so I shook my head in disagreement. He kept persuading me, and his friend was busy smiling at me."Could you guys leave me alone? I am not interested in what you have to say, and I do not want to sit with you," I responded to them."Hey ma'am, I hope all is okay over there," the owner of the bar asked as he was coming over to where I was seated.I did not want to embarrass the guys around me, nor did I want to be
Carsen's POVI have been ducking her in the water so that she could get herself a little bit. The water was the only thing that could help clear her eyes and wake her from all drunkenness.As soon as she got herself, she started asking me a lot of questions that were not necessary. I responded to the ones I could respond to and ignored the rest of them.I made sure that she was awake, and then I decided to carry her out of the water to avoid her catching a cold.As I went to lift her up, I noticed her breast through her dress. The water she was in had already attached her clothes to her body, and I could see the size and shape of her breast clearly.I was so tempted to feel them with my hands, but I held myself back. I did not want to get into trouble, and I could not just touch her in such a place without her permission.I focused on carrying her out of the water, but my eyes could not get off her breast."Damn, can you see what you have been missing all the while? She has some goodi
Carsen's POV"Bruno, as I said, you all should be on your guard. I will be going to attend something real quick, but I will be back before the rain begins because I also want to witness whatever would happen," I said to him, and then I went into my car and started driving to the hotel.As I got to our apartment in the hotel, I did not see Emily in the sitting room, and she should probably be in her room.I decided to go into my own room first of all before going to knock on her room's door.I knocked the first time, and there was no movement, and then I knocked the second time. It was obvious that she was asleep, so I decided to leave, but as I was going, she came to answer the door, so I stood there."Oh, it is you," she said as she saw me in front of her door."Yes, it's me. I came to check up on you to know if you are okay. Do you need anything at all?" I asked her."No, I do not need anything for now. I am fine, and if I need anything, I get to order it as you said, right?" she sa
Carsen's POVAll my hopes were that she would not push me away or try struggling out of my hands. And I kissed her. I looked at her to know if she would respond or if she would get mad at me.She was already breathing hard, and I knew that I should fire on. So I kissed her for the second time, and then she responded to my kisses, which resulted in a romantic moment with her.Her lips were so soft, and as they touched mine, I felt a chill feeling all over my body. I was so happy as I finally got the opportunity to spend quality time with her.To my advantage, it was only the two of us in the hotel apartment, and there was no one there to interrupt us.Another thing that made me happy was that she didn't fight back; neither did she try to stop me; rather, she responded and played along.Our kisses started becoming more fierce, and then I had it in mind that it was going to result in something else. Whatever it was, I was willing to take full responsibility and also willing to give it my
Marcie's POV I was doing my best to explain things to him, but he refused to listen. Instead, he yelled demeaning things to me, prompting me to slap his face. He dared me again to see what I would do, and I lifted my hand to slap him again, but this time he seized my hands in the air. As he did this, he placed my hands behind my back but above my head, causing me to lean against the door. I was still dissatisfied with the first slap I gave him, and I want to give him another so that the next time he learns etiquette.I lifted my free hand to slap him for the second time, and he caught it as well, performing the same thing he had done with the first. I was now pressed to the wall, gazing into his eyes and asking what he wanted to do. "What is going to make you keep quiet for some time?" he asked me as he kissed my lips. I felt excitement run throughout my body, and I wanted more of him and his kisses. He raised his eyes to gaze at me, but I froze, gazing into his so
Stephen's POV In the city as a whole, my company, my business, and my brand were the biggest and one of the most respected brands we have in town.I struggle to maintain the name of my company and have received a lot of awards in the name of my company as well. The only competitor I had was Darren, a CEO of a company who was also big but not as big as mine.He was coming up, but he was not really a threat to me. I always knew that anytime he came up with an idea to step up his game, I would also step up mine immediately. It dawned on him that I was the biggest, and I had no competitor at all. I had struggled for a very long time to keep my company where it is, and I would not let it fall no matter what came around. A board meeting was scheduled for different CEOs across this city and also some outside the city. It was a big game, and it was actually a time for me to prove that my company was the biggest in and out of the city.During the board meeting I was given a lot of re
Carsen's POV After I had called her on the phone and made sure she was inside, I decided to go see the manager of the hotel. I needed that to run some business with him, and he was the perfect partner for that. He had everything I needed and wanted in a partner, so I felt it was best for me to partner with him. That was another reason why I chose his hotel for the meeting, which I told Emily that we would be attending, and to my advantage, there was a meeting scheduled. As I got to his suite, I met him relaxing and reading a magazine. I went ahead to make him know that I was present there, and so he kept doing what he was doing to give me the full attention that I needed. "Hello Mr. Carsen, it is nice seeing you today. How are you doing? I hope you are well. I heard you logged into our hotel, and I'm so happy to have you here," he said to me. "Thank you, Mr. Kelvin. I am also happy to see you, and I want to tell you that your workers are doing a great job, and you have the best
Marcie's POV I was in my room trying to arrange my things and unpack my bag when I heard a knock on my door. I already knew that it was Carsen because it was just the both of us in the apartment. I left what I was doing and went to answer him. As I got there, he began asking me if there was anything I needed. "Emily, I just came to know if you are okay and comfortable with the environment. Do you need anything to eat, or do you want anything at all?" he said to me. It was obvious that he was aware that I was not really happy, and I think he came to make it up to me in his own way. One thing about him was that he never apologized to me even though he was the one at fault. The highest thing he does is to look for a way to cover up his sins. "I am okay, as you can see. I have already eaten before coming here, and I do not think I need anything at the moment," I said to him. "Alright, Emily, I was just asking because I will be going out to attend to something. In case you need an
Treasure's POV I had my men go hunting in search of these pathetic creatures because I needed to prove a point to Mr. Vaughn Alexander Sterling and not only that, also because I was back in full force to make them pay for what they have done to me, to my family, and to all humans at large.I needed their whole traces wiped off if possible, and I needed them far away from human beings.They were all wild animals, and the city is not for wild animals, talk less of the village. Their home remains the jungle, where they can meet with their fellow wild animals and not the city.Another thing that got me thinking was how they could transform into human form and also transform back to their real form. It seemed as if they were making use of African voodoo, but whatever it was, I would find out one way or the other. The only thing I needed was a large number of them in my custody. If possible, all of them as a whole.I had not yet started going out personally, not because I had peop
Carsen's POV As I was driving around, I decided to go see my people because I knew that I would have to spend some time with Emily.I needed to figure out what happened about the dismissal of the old wolf who was missing.As I got to the headquarters, I had them call Bruno for me because he was the only one I was familiar with."Please call him really quickly. I have a lot of things to attend to," I said to them, and waited in front of the headquarters.As I was waiting for him, I watched the little children play around and also watched how everyone lived so peacefully, unlike humans who will always create scenes out of nothing."Good morning, sir," I heard the voice of Bruno greeting me from behind.I turned around, and there I saw him, and we both exchanged pleasantries."Alright, Bruno, I have a lot of things to do right now, but I decided to come here to know exactly the state of everything. Last night, you told me that an old wolf was missing, right?" I said to him,"Yes sir
Marcie's POV I waited for him after I had finished with my morning preparations. I did not hear anything from him after the last time we spoke. I wondered if he had forgotten that we had meetings to attend or if he had changed his mind about me going with him. If it was that he decided to go alone, he should have at least called to inform me rather than keeping me uninformed. All I did was pack up everything I needed and also dress up to go with him. I did not want to call him on the phone because if what he was going to say was so much more important to him, he could have called me. I was already bored, so I decided to check out the things I had packed earlier. I added some new things and removed some as well. I went into my room, and then I heard my phone ringing. I knew it would be no other person than him. I picked up the call, and then he told me to take the day off because he would be coming to pick me up later in the day. Maybe I did not hear him clearly the last ti
