I drove gradually with my gaze fixed on the road, I made sure not to be distracted as all that filled my mind were thoughts of Ashely and where she would be. My eyes Scanned through the empty and deserted alley to see if I would get a glimpse of her, but my effort was futile as all I saw were heaps of snow by the highway, snowflakes falling from the dark and gloomy sky, forsaken trees, and a lifeless road. The street light only made the street even more lonely. I drove gradually as every second Felt like an hour, after what seemed like a thirty minutes drive, I spotted a figure from afar that looked like a human running tiredly. I drove fast to meet the person and the moment I got close to the figure, my heart began to skip seeing it was ashely, I reduced my speed to meet up with her so we could go home together. I noticed she started waving her hands towards my car to stop. The moment I got to where she was, I brought my window down and looked at her letting out a slight smirk on
He pulled me back, and raised his hands as though he wanted to throw me a punch, I bent my head in defense. After a few minutes of not getting his hit, I raised my head gradually and saw his hand hanging in the air. I gasped out in fear, stood up, and headed to my room for a fresh shower. I needed someone to urgently speak to, but there was no time as I was to leave with him in an hour. I rushed to the bathroom and viewed myself in the mirror. I assured myself that things were going to be better in the future, but at the same time, I knew it wasn’t going to be anytime soon. I stayed under the shower and allowed the warm water to flow from my head to my toe washing away all my sorrow and pain. the bath was cool and at the same time comforting, I heaved in a deep breath at intervals, with my eyes shot in imagination. I left the bathroom and headed straight to my wardrobe to dress. After about fifteen minutes of intense searching, I finally got a dress to wear it wasn't a funny e
I picked up a wrap of pancake and reluctantly dropped it on my plate, poured the liquid coffee into my cup, and observed it. As much as I was hungry and angry, I didn’t still have the appetite to eat. He raised his head gradually and looked at me, let a smile on his lips, and went back to what he was doing. After a few minutes, I decided to take a bite since at intervals he gawked at me to see what I was doing. The first bite of the pancake didn’t taste bad, so I proceeded in eating other ones. We soon got done with eating after several minutes of total silence, and intense gawking. While I was still trying to get myself ready to stand up from the seat, Felix walked in looking all serious and dangerous. Nat immediately looked at me and indicated that we start moving. Without hesitation, followed him, still wondering about the work he told me about.The moment I got outside, I halted in shock and turned my gaze to him, and back to the dress he was wearing. “Wow” was all I co
They all walked in my direction and greeted me just as they did to him. As much as I loved the feeling, I was still really shy and uncomfortable with what was happening "Good day our boss's wife" They greeted me.I gave our a light smile to hide my nervousness and then went back to keeping the sulky expression I had on my face.the moment we got to the entrance of the elevator, I noticed Nat had a very mischievous look on his face, and that sent butterflies down my spin "What is he planning to do to me" I questioned still acting as though I wasn't concerned with what he was doing. we got to the front of his elevator and in no time we were standing at the front of his office.I had expected that he would ask me to stay outside to wait for him just as he did the other day, but to my greatest surprise, he held my hands firmly leading me into his office.I heaved in a deep breath and shut my eyes tightly, and followed him."wife?" Are you frightened about something? He questioned. t
The door suddenly jerked opened reviling Clara, who looked startled and confused when she saw me. "Hum... what is this cheap whore doing inside the boss's office" She questioned in a very cold and aggressive tone the moment she got close to where I was. I chuckled and darted my gaze towards her "Wow! she would never change" I murmured beneath my breath and watched as she seductively walked towards the direction where Nat was.It was obvious she had a mission, and was all out to get it done. with the way she swung her body, her expressions and the rolling of her eyes portrayed a whore vibe. I fixed my gaze closely with keen observation to see what she was up to and wasn't surprised when she crossed her legs standing in front of Nat." Do you need anything, like anything?" She probed rubbing her hands gradually on her cheat.I darted my gaze towards Nat to see how he would respond to what Clara was doing and to my greatest surprise he acted Dumb to her request. "Wife!" He called ou
She scoffed the moment I called Nat my husband. rumbled her hands together and walked right in front of me. " hoo, don't tell me you have suddenly forgotten your place here? She questioned peering into my eyes"have your sick brain suddenly forgotten that he brought your filthy ass to my matrimonial home, so he could carry out a satisfying revenge on your so-called impoverished family?" She probed in a yell. "Just because he agreed to marry your pathetic life doesn't mean he would choose you over me and other classic and rich ladies out there trying to get his attention, Know your place ass hole" she thundered with a frown on her face.I swallowed hard and folded my hands into a fist, she was getting on my nerves and I wasn't sure how to handle it. What she said got to me. I struggled to stop the tears that were already forming in my eyes. I reminded myself that I was meant to keep my head high by staying put and not showing her how defeated and affected I was because of her word
Nat POV I held her firmly as we walked into my office, her palms were soft and sweaty, with the way it moved, I could tell that she was nervous and not used to my touch in her palms. I turned my gaze to see the expression she would have on her face when she see my office. I had intentionally made the passageway dark; gloomy and isolated in case of Intruders, so they would change their minds before getting into the office. I let out a light smile as several expressions escaped from her eyes the moment she got in, she wanted to say something and I was eagerly waiting for her to say what she had in her mind but then she stopped just immediately, I was tempted to ask her what she felt about the office but then change my mind just immediatelyI realized her hands the moment we got in and allowed her to view and enjoy the sight of all the beautiful flowers and art sculptures that were hanging on the wall of my office. I headed towards my window to see and feed my eyes with the beauti
I checked my time and noticed it was past time to go home, I became even more worried about her, she had slept in the corridor yesterday and might just do the same today if what I assume Is true. I had earlier instructed my guards to keep Ashley at the reception where she would be seen by all my workers, earlier today I noticed she was shy and in a hurry to leave their presence so I wanted to use that to punish her. I didn't need to ask anybody about her way about as I was sure that she had gone home to see her parent without informing me. I have always figured out a way to get back to her whenever she feels like doing what she wants to do without informing me, and this would call for a bigger punishment from me to her. I was determined that I was going to make her suffer the more since she has decided not to do the right thing. I left the reception feeling angry and disappointed, and started heading back to my office to close for the day but then changed my mind and decided to g
