He longed to kiss her, to feel her body close to his. Desire pulsed through him, urging him to act, he wanted her, right here, right now but he held back. She was still recovering her memories, and he didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerability. If he gave in to his urges now, he risked losing her forever.What if she regained her memories and decided she didn't want to be with him anymore? How would she feel knowing that he touched her while she was still sick?He felt her moving closer, her eyelids slowly closing, and the closer she got, the hotter he felt. He could feel her breath on his face, and he closed his eyes, savoring the sensation. But as much as he wanted her, he knew he couldn't give in to his desires. She was still recovering her memories, and he didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerability. He rolled down the window in a panic, hoping to distract her from what almost happened. She froze and stared at the rolled-down window with a puzzled expression. He to
“Yes, Leo.” She replied “Are you sure?” he asked, sounding uncertain.“Would I lie to you?” He didn't say anything but seemed to be deep in thought after she said that. “How do you know that it's Leo?”“I'm pretty sure I should know. I've met him once, when I came to your office. And how could I possibly forget that face…”“Where did you see them?” He asked impatiently.“Oh, you don’t know that Leo stays very close to the estate I live in”“He does?” Tristan asked with shock and Ivy affirmed.“That’s how I saw them. I was driving in from a shoot yesterday when I saw them coming outside hand in hand and I was like, isn’t this Angela? Tristan has been looking for you for what, two days?She asked me who I was and when I told her, I could see that she was not pleased but she forced herself to look pleasant. I didn’t say much to Leo except that he needed to let Angela return to you and neither of them were happy about it until I threatened to call you and tell you where they were, that
She stared at the name and figures of money she sent. The name didn't look like any name she remembered. Who the hell was Annie Lee and why did she send such huge amount of money to her. She racked her brain trying to remember who Annie was and why she sent her such amount of money but nothing clicked not to mention, she was developing a headache. She then decided to go through her call log to see if they've communicated over the phone at all but she found no records of their call.She did discover that there were some calls missing from her log by the dates of the calls she had received and she wondered why she would delete them. Just as she was dwelling more on that thought, a strange number caught her attention. She discovered it was a call that had been an incoming call and it was made on the same day she sent the money to Annie. She tapped on the number and frowned as if she was trying to remember something.***************It was her first day back at work since her accident. S
Wham!A hard slap landed on her face sending her to the ground and leaving a palm print on her beautiful face. She held her face in pain, remaining on the floor while her mother stood, glaring at her.“How dare you!” she hissed. “How dare you get pregnant with a bastard child for a loser!” she yelled.Tears were quickly filling her eyes as her cheek stung her. She couldn't even meet her mother's gaze because her vision seemed to be blurred with tears.“Look at me!” her mother ordered and she slowly raised her head to look at her mother. Her mother's green eyes were filled with rage and she looked really scary.“I'm sorry Mother” she mumbled and her mother kicked her.“How far along are you?”“Three weeks” She answered “Do you know what's on the line here, you foolish child?”“I said I was sorry! People make mistakes mum” she half yelled and her mother slapped her again.“How dare you talk to me like that? Are you insane?”Ivy burst into loud sobs now as her cheek stung even harder no
Angela stepped out of the building, eyes red like she had been smoking weed. She couldn’t believe Tristan had fired her. It was like she was in some sort of bad dream.Suddenly, flashbacks of every time Tristan told her he loved her flooded her brain.“I’ll always protect you… I love you so much and I wanna protect you always… I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you…”She wanted to scream from the frustration of it. Why does her brain have to torture her. Why does she have to remember this, here and now? She wanted to crawl in a hole and die.It took all her willpower not to cry at that moment.“I just got fired.” She whispered to herself as if she was trying to believe it. It’s not like her being fired was a new thing, seeing as it happened very frequently in her life. She was even surprised she managed to last this long working for Tristan.She stood by the roadside with no destination in mind. She just stood there watching as cars passed her by, feeling depr
“I… Tristan fired me.”Her voice shook and Leo began to feel uncomfortable.“Oh, Angela. That’s so sad”“I don’t know what to do.” She began to sob now.“I don’t know why I keep making these mistakes. I was sure I did the exact thing he wanted, only for me to find out I did the exact opposite of what he requested. I guess he’s had enough”“Don’t blame yourself…”“You know what the funny thing is though? I actually still love him. I feel like there’s a huge part of this puzzle missing and it’s so frustrating that I can’t remember anything. If I could at least remember something, I’m sure it would help…”“No, Angela. It won’t. Tristan has made his decision. He’s chosen what he wants so why don’t you also let go. I’m telling you this as a friend and someone who cares, that even if you remember everything now and go back to him, he won’t change his mind because he’s clearly been looking for an excuse to get rid of you, otherwise, what’s a little mistake he can’t overlook?”“Everything is
He pulled Ivy closer to him as the kiss got more steamy. Ivy slipped her hands into his shirt and that seemed to snap him back to his senses.He opened his eyes, remembering why he had never found her sexually attractive to begin with and then, he pushed Ivy away, then he jumped up from the couch with his palm on his forehead.“What am I doing? This isn’t right!”Ivy stood up and placed one hand on his shoulder but he moved away immediately.“Tristan…?” She gave him a hurt look.“I’m sorry Ivy, this is my fault”She stepped closer to him but he moved away again and turned away from her.“What are you talking about? What's wrong with you?”“I shouldn't have kissed you, I'm sorry. I guess I was vulnerable”“It's okay…”“No, it's not and you know it's not”“Tristan, if this is because of Angela, I…”“It's not just because of Angela” He turned to her with a rueful expression.“You know it's not just because of Angela. We can't do this and you know why”Realization dawned on Ivy as she un
“What seems to be the problem here?” Tristan asked as he approached her table, clearing his throat as he spoke.“Tristan!” she looked and sounded relieved to see him. He scanned her face closely and sure, she looked as exquisite as ever, with a little bit of extra effort.She had on a red lipstick and lipgloss, smoky eyeshadow, she didn't have a bra on, her nipples were visible through her clothes and he could feel a hard-on coming at that observation. Plus, she even took extra care of her hair. Too bad it was damaged. She looked sensational and really sexy but the rosy tint to her cheeks and the way her eyes were slightly unfocused, told him she was also drunk.“Are these men troubling you?” he asked and she nodded frantically. He turned his attention to the men. There were three of them.“Can you guys please back up? you're clearly making her uncomfortable.”One of the men got all up in his face and the foul stench of alcohol that emanated from him was choking.“Oh yeah? And who ar
