Scott’s POV“Sir, you sent for me,” Lizzy said, standing before me with a solemn expression etched on her face. “Yes, I need you to get to the HR department urgently. I need them to handle a personal matter,”“What is it, Sir?”“I’d like all news and speculations regarding my relationship with Ms. Christina Bells out of the media and all tabloids, except that of our engagement and impending marriage. I also want all news regarding her personal life out of the media. Tell them I want them to do whatever they can to clean up the mess, and if any of the sources fail to comply, sue them for defamation,”“Alright, Sir. I’ll get to it immediately,”“You may go, and please get me a dose of my morning coffee before you get to it,”She nodded curtly and turned on her heels, exiting the door. I sagged against my chair and released a deep breath, the image of Christina pretending to be asleep while I was in her bedroom that morning, still floating over my head. Worse more was the words she’d sa
Scott’s POV“You came,” The words left my lips before I could stop them.“I’m sorry, I’m late,” Her gaze darted to the table that was already set, with Adams and two maids standing at the far end, waiting to serve us.“It’s fine, never expected you’d show up,” My gaze traveled over her as I said the words. Although she was simply dressed in a plain evening dress with a sweetheart neckline that showed her cleavage and accentuated her figure, she looked stunning with her short wavy bob hair and her soft brown eyes. They held a dull light to them, that matched the calm expression on her face, one I wasn’t expecting, considering how bad things were currently between us—all thanks to me.“May I?” I stretched an arm, ready to lead her to the table and she willingly placed her arm in mine. Before I could catch myself, I raised it to my lips and placed a kiss on the back of her palm. I noticed the way her eyes followed me, and a tinge of confusion crossed her expression but it was gone in the
Christina’s POV“Marvin?” His name slipped from my lips as I couldn’t believe he was standing there, demanding to see me. At first, when I’d seen him, I thought he was here for Scott.“Christina,” a warm smile slipped onto his face and he approached me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder as I was still seated.“Why… why are you here?” from the corner of my eyes I could see Scott fuming and seething and it wasn’t helping that I was engaging his brother but I didn’t care as long as I wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary.“To see you. It’s been a while and you didn’t show up in school for a week and more. Abby reached out to me and we were both worried so I had to come to check up on you myself, just to be sure you’re fine,”My gaze cut to Scott to see the deep scowl he was spotting. It didn’t help that the main reason he’d stopped me from going to school was standing here but it wasn’t like I’d have ever returned to school, if not for his last-minute decision. So, I wouldn't hold i
Christina’s POV “Ms. Bell, would you like anything?” The air hostess asked with a cheerful practised smile on her face and I shook my head in refusal. “Not for now, thank you,” she smiled and her eyes drifted to Scott who was seated on the next seat beside mine, his hands resting on the armrest with his eyes looking straight ahead. “Sir, may I get you anything?” “A bottle of water would do,” He responded without sparing her a glance. Without a word, she turned on her heels and left, leaving us alone. At first, I turned to the window, not sparing him a glance. After all that happened due to Marvin’s visit a few days ago, I hadn’t spoken a word to him and I’d like to keep it that way. He also didn’t speak to me and only sent all errands and instructions regarding our trip through Adams and the maids. It was as though we were merely business partners, heading for a business trip with nothing in common and I’d like to keep it that way. I was still staring out the window when the pil
Scott’s POVA smirk of amusement tilted my lips as I stared at the displeased expression on her face, while awaiting a response. I expected her to indulge me or call me out for being childish but then she rolled her eyes and shook her head in clear exasperation.“If I recall correctly, I’ll be acting my way into your Grandfather’s heart for the rest of the weekend, won't I?” She questioned and I nodded. “Then I’m sure sharing a bed with you will be the least of my worries. I could as well act my way through it and pretend you’re not present,”My smile instantly slipped off my face and with a triumphant smirk on her lips, she turned on her heels and headed for the bathroom. I stood still, mulling over her words and hating how much I disliked their meaning. I didn’t expect that response from her, especially not after what happened during our flight.She’d been so scared of the turbulence that it wasn’t difficult to tell it was her first time on an aircraft. She looked so terrified like
Scott’s POVMy tongue danced with hers and she latched onto me, wounding her arms tightly around my neck. My hands moved to her thighs, riding inside her dress and grabbing her firmly as I pulled her up to wrap her legs around my waist. She obliged without any struggle and I took my time exploring, letting my fingers feel and caress the skin of her smooth and soft creamy thighs. My fingers traveled higher, softly grazing her skin until she shivered against me, and a soft whimper fled her lips but I swallowed it, not willing to let up.I continued kissing her, just as my fingers reached the side of her panties and I trailed my thumb around them, letting it glide to where I could feel her clit. By now, her panties were soaked with her juices and when I circled my thumb around the wet spot, directly pressed to her swollen clit, a sharp gasp escaped from her lips, followed by a soft whimper. For a minute, I pulled my lips from hers and rested my head against hers, just to stare into her e
Scott’s POVI pulled away and she stood on her shaky legs, staring at me speechlessly. A dazed expression was etched on her face, followed by disappointment and it made me smile. She had no idea how much I wanted her, but we’re keeping Vincenzo waiting and he wouldn’t tolerate that.My cock pulsed in my slacks and I reached down to squeeze it. Her gaze followed my movements and I saw how she bit her lips subconsciously, and her eyes widened a bit.Maybe agreeing to dinner wasn’t a very smart decision but I made my choice already. I let go of my aching cock and tried to take a few deep breaths just to calm my nerves and racing heart. A few minutes go by with us just standing there, staring at each other without a word. She kept staring at me as though she was thinking I’d go back on my word, and I almost crumbled under those soft doe eyes but instead, I stepped forward, gently turned her around and helped her with her zip. Thereafter, I tried my best to arrange her dress to get rid of
Christina’s POVI got into the bedroom and slammed the door shut, my anger getting the best of me. For a minute, I looked around, finding something to vent on but there was nothing. All I wanted was to let it out and maybe smash something against the wall to ease my frustration but there was nothing I could do. I had no money to afford the luxury pieces in this home, that was if Vincenzo didn’t pass a bullet through my skull for destroying something. Annoyed with this, I marched towards the balcony, needing a quiet and peaceful moment.The balcony was a bit hidden from the room and no one would easily find me here. I held onto the railings, resting my body against them as I stared at the massive property surrounding me, and the vast thick forest, with no sights of other homes or residential properties. This environment suited Vincenzo, considering his line of work. He could go about his dirty business and do whatever he wanted without alerting the attention of others. It was like he b
