The smirk on his face grew wider as he took steps closer to me, moving with the predatory grace of a lion ready to pounce. I gulped heavily, feeling a mix of fear and confusion as I watched him look at me with a seductive intensity that made my heart race. "Wa… what are you thinking about?" I stammered, desperately trying to grasp what was going on in his mind.

He didn’t respond, his gaze unwavering, which only heightened my discomfort. I instinctively took a step back, but before I could distance myself, he grabbed me by my thighs, his fingers digging in so tightly that I could feel the heat radiating from his hands on my skin. He pulled me closer, his hands shifting to clasp my waist, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. "You said anything, right?" he asked, his voice low and charged.

"I didn’t mean this," I shot back, my voice trembling slightly.

"What?" he questioned, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.

    ~ THEO’S POVAfter a long, grueling day at work, I finally headed back home, feeling completely drained. The exhaustion, frustration, and gnawing hunger had built up inside me, leaving me with barely any patience to listen to anyone or even think straight. All I could focus on was the need to unwind and fill my empty stomach.As I walked into my mansion, I was immediately enveloped by the rich, mouthwatering aroma of what I assume is a homemade meal, undoubtedly prepared by Tamara. The scent wafted through the air, teasing my senses and making my stomach growl in anticipation. A smile crept onto my lips as I ventured further into the house, spotting Tamara standing at the dining table. She beamed at me, and the sight of her warmth made the day’s stress melt away. "You better be hungry because I made dinner," she said, her smile infectious."I’m so freaking hungry, I’m not even going to shower before I eat," I replied, unable to hide my eagerness.

    The night fell softly, and the day finally emerged, casting a gentle light across the streets. As usual, my sleep was restless, just like every other day, but I’ve grown used to the fatigue. I slipped into my work clothes, the familiar fabric comforting against my skin, and stepped out into the crisp morning air. I thrive on being extra early for work, and skipping breakfast is where I really shine. I prefer not to wait for Tamara to join me for breakfast; I’d rather grab a quick snack at work. It saves me both time and energy, allowing me to dive straight into my tasks.The drive to my company was a serene experience. The car glided smoothly along the road, and I relished the quietness, a stark contrast to the bustling day ahead. I appreciated this kind of ride—one free from chatter and distractions. My driver and I shared a comfortable silence; he didn’t initiate conversation, and I certainly didn’t either. He must have sensed my preference for solitude, understanding that I don’t e

His insights usually save the team from overlooking those minor yet crucial elements that could easily turn into major setbacks if ignored.After we wrapped up a particularly long conference meeting, Jamil and I made our way to the canteen to grab some lunch and chat about the contracts in hand. As I took a sip of the coffee, I grimaced slightly and said, "The coffee is blunt." I tried to keep my voice down, but I couldn’t hide my disappointment.Jamil took a sip of his own coffee and shrugged. "It’s good, just like every day," he replied, a hint of amusement in his voice.I couldn’t help but scoff at that. "No, it’s not. It’s actually pretty bad and bitter. I don’t like it at all, and honestly, I guess s

    I am engrossed by work, sucked into the vortex of emails and projects. I’ve decided to shove myself into my work today mostly to forget about all the anger building inside of me. I’m not just upset about Tamara and her stupid boyfriend but also Laura, she’s upsetting me but that’s okay because I’ve taken care of the situation already.

Just as I was starting to regain my focus, everything came crashing down when Laura bounced into my office without even bothering to knock.My brows furrowed in frustration as I looked at her, incredulous at her audacity.

I have very big plans for her- plans that won’t make her this comfortable with me. As I kept watching her work on her laptop, her eyes raised to mine and she said "Why are you staring at me?""Who says I’m staring at you?" I questioned "You are." She said as she lifted her gaze to look at me "Why are you staring?"I scoffed pretending like I wasn’t doing anything "You thinking I’m staring at you is just off, I mean you are not even that good-looking for me to stare at."As I spoke, her face instantly fell and I could see a hint of sadness washing over her expression "You didn’t have to be rude.""Rude?" I questioned in disgust "I wasn’t trying to be rude Laura, I was being honest. I guess you won’t believe it because your husband says otherwise." She didn’t reply back she just dropped her gaze and looked

    ~ LAURA’S POVA stressful day at work is all I need to get my mood ruined and my brain tired. I can’t even begin to talk about how much Theo annoys me and how much I hate working with him.

My heart raced as I approached Christian, who was completely absorbed in his phone, fingers tapping furiously on the screen as he played his video game. "Christian," I called out, trying to keep my voice steady."What!" he snapped, his eyes still glued to the screen, irritation clear in his tone."I’m pregnant," I said, forcing the words out despite the knot in my stomach.The moment I spoke, time seemed to freeze.

    I yawned, taking a sip of coffee as I continued to work on my laptop, eager to finish the project Theo sent me. I still can’t believe he called me last night, expecting me to wrap this up before morning and somehow get to work on time—no delays. Honestly, this is one of the reasons I dislike working with Theo; he never considers my situation. But, oh well, the money is good, and I can’t deny that I need it for me and my daughter, so I just have to deal with everything he brings to my table. As I typed on the laptop, I sorted through the papers, trying to gather enough information. The papers are eight hundred pages and I have to go through all of them but given the short period of time I was given, reading them all seemed impossible, so I skimmed through them making sure to catch the key points. If I missed something important, the whole project would be pointless—those aren’t my words, but Theo’s. I worked non-stop for hours, focused on getting it right. I didn’t even notice when
