As the first light of dawn filtered through the slightly raised curtains, Nadia stirred from her slumber with a sense of disorientation and unease. Her eyes suddenly flickered awake like an impulse had brought her back to life, and the fragmented events of the previous night came flooding to her head instantly. "Shit!" She exclaimed with a shock and a sudden jolt of realization, as she sat up in the bed that she found herself, with her heart pounding in her chest as she surveyed her surroundings with wide eyes."Shit. Shit!" She muttered uncontrollably as her lips trembled, the moment she raised the white covers that were sprawled over her body only to discover that she was naked. It confirmed that what had happened was truly what she saw in her head. 'She and Liam had sex! They truly had sex. It wasn't a dream!'Turning to the right instantly, her gaze fell upon the figure lying beside her, sleeping in a peaceful repose and oblivious to what was going on around him. A wave of shock
Stacy was in a good mood as she drove to Carlton's house, because her investment had quadrupled its price on the stock market that morning. To make the news more exhilarating, she also figured out that the prices of her estate properties have doubled. She couldn't stop grinning till she went into his house.The memories of what happened in the dining room came back to her mind as soon as she set her eyes on the dining room, and she got lost in her thoughts for a few minutes while imagining what would have happened if Carlton had crossed the boundary. "Morning, Doctor," Carlton's husky voice distracted Stacy from the direction she was looking in, as she turned her face to his direction so sharply. He was walking down the grand stairs in his mansion with calculated steps, and a warm smile split his lips as he maintained eye contact with her. Seeing him walking down the stairs to her and not in his chair, made Stacy's heart flutter with so much happiness that it resonated deep down her
"You do not seem to be in a good mood, Doctor Stacy," Ryan noticed as Zoe made her way into his house, even if she tried hard to keep a straight and cool face when she entered."Just feeling under the weather," she answered through her teeth, as she made her way to his living room to comfortably take a seat. "I am a psychiatrist, you know. And you certainly do not look like you are just under the weather," Ryan speculated with a demure grin crossing his lips, while looking at her to see if she would give up on trying to conceal her anger. "Argh! Fine!" Stacy groaned and rolled her eyes, "I had an argument with someone," she conceded, and took her seat. "And it looks like you just had a lover's quarrel," Ryan added again, as he carefully made his way to his cabinet to bring out all sorts of cookies that Stacy might like. "What? No!" Stacy's eyebrows scrunched up, as she retorted instantly, her mind flashing back to the person she was still so pissed at. 'She didn't even know why s
Stacy bit her lips in guilt as she strode elegantly into Carlton's large living room upon arrival, with her eyes roaming every corner from where she stood, looking for him to pop from some corner into the living room. Since he stopped using his wheelchair, she stopped seeing him come from the stairs which lead to his room. He was always everywhere. "Hi, Mr. Howard," Stacy flashed a sweet smile at Carlton the moment she saw him appear from the wine cellar hallway, while remaining as classy as she should always be. Though he was her client, she allowed her anger to get the best of her and was rude to him. She didn't like the after feeling of it, and she wanted to make sure that there was going to be no tension around them all day. Taken aback by her cheerful demeanor considering how they parted the previous day, Carlton struggled with doubt in his mind of what she could be thinking, as he strutted a little close to where she was, "Hi, Doctor," he responded with the same vitality, a sm
"We are going to do all of this today?" Carlton asked Stacy in surprise, when he picked up the pad and pen that was resting on the front passenger seat when he wanted to enter. She suggested they take her car so as not to get attention from anyone, and waited for him to go and change his clothes after a routine checkup. "No!" Stacy snapped sharply when she saw him holding her journal, and snatched it away from him before he could even take another glance. "I wasn't looking at it," he teased with a broad grin, and she rolled her eyes cutely as she strapped her seat belt around her as she ignited the car, "Where are we going?" He further asked. "We are going to see a movie scheduled for this afternoon," she told him, as she navigated the car and pressed on the brakes to increase the car's speed even before Carlton could say any further. Both of them walked into the luxurious movie theater to comfortably rest in their reserved bed area, while waiting for the movie to start playing.
Stacy was on her way to Brown's office as requested by him, and it wasn't just like any other day that she had to go to the hospital and meet the most obnoxious colleagues ever. It was the day after her sweet unplanned evening kiss with Carlton, and just a few hours ago. As she sauntered elegantly through the hallway that led to the office she was going to, and her eyes sparkled with delight the more her mind traveled back to the tender kiss she had shared with him. The memory played in her mind many times and lingered like a sweet melody in her heart, with a soft giggle escaping her lips. 'You must be crazy already!' Stacy scolded herself with a broad grin, as she finally stopped in front of where she was going, and took a deep breath before entering. Coming out of Brown's office, she was informed by him that a client had specially paid for her services and requested to see her. She agreed to take consultations with the client that day before agreeing to personal treatments, and s
The Wilson family mansion was huge and opulent, so fancy that every single interior and exterior design of the house screamed great luxury. The plush appearance was not excluded of all of their workers, donned in perfect silk uniforms of great quality and working endlessly to meet their job quota for the day. And for the first time in a long while, they saw the young master of the house, Liam, visiting his parents. Ever since he left home to study medicine and fell in love with his education, it had been so hard to see him around except on rare occasions. However, it was not a special day, and yet he had visited and was having lunch with his parents in their deluxe living room where everything looked perfect. Though the table was long and large enough to fit twelve people, only three were seated around the table closely to one another, eating almost in silence. His father, Austin Wilson, the owner of WILLAND hospital, and his mother, Tracy Cheng, the foundation director, were sitti
"Should I apologize for what happened?" Carlton asked Stacy after she arrived, a few hours later than her usual hours because she was called in by the hospital. He had observed that she didn't seem to be in a very good mood when she entered, and had been struggling to keep up with her usual collected demeanor. She was obviously bothered by something. "No. No, don't," Stacy almost stuttered upon her words, deeply bothered by the encounter that she had with Marilyn earlier that morning, that all the excitement and enthusiasm she had towards seeing Carlton had been extinguished. Though enamored by this good-looking man that was standing before her, Stacy could not help but wander and bother endlessly about everything that had been on in her office, and Marilyn's words. 'What did she mean that she had something important to tell him? And that she was going to get him back? What was going on?' Stacy bothered again, still unable to get the scenario out of her head. 'Maybe she should tel
