He who angers you conquers you. ~Elizabeth KennyCharlotte"Who might this 'arrogant ass jerk face' be?" the woman I had just vented out to asked air quoting the names I called Anthony."His my crush," I sighed feeling stupid, "I know it's pathetic, I'm a grown ass woman who still has a crush and complains about him like a high school teenager," I rumbled on and on. "but it's not my fault the bastard doesn't like me the way I do him, who am I kidding, he’ll never like me in that way, he only tolerates me because of my family." I laughed at how pathetic I was."I don't think it's pathetic." the woman shrugged "I've been there.""Please don’t patronize me." I rolled my eyes."I'm serious, I was you barely a years ago.""I find that hard to believe." I frowned at the thought that she might be mocking me. "Are you making a mockery of my predicament?" I glared at her."Goodness no." she gasped at my accusation."You better not be or I swear your fate will be worse than that of the muffin.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian. ~Dennis WholeyCharlotte"Could you kindly call an Uber for me?" I asked the woman who had ushered me through as Teddy, the man who was my hair and nail stylist after we had finished up with my nails."On it" she nodded and walked away. "The cub will be here in a minute, anything else?" She asked after coming back."Yes, I would like for Teddy come with to my house, put all the expenses on my card." I told her after checking the time on the diamond white gold watch wrapped around my wrist. It was getting late and I knew I wouldn't have enough time to finish readying myself for the event on time."Alright." she nodded before turning to the man. "Teddy get your things set." she told him."It would be a pleasure." he beamed. "I'll be back in a jiffy." he dashed away.Soon, he had gotten everything he might need and we walked out findin

No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure. ~Emma GoldmanCharlotteAfter almost thirty minute, we pulled up at the venue of the event and there was a ton of people and paparazzi outside whose attention shifted to us upon noticing our arrival.Anthony got out of the car and also helped me out like a gentleman he was. Note the sarcasm. He gave his key to the valet and put his hand on the small of my bare back giving me goosebumps."Who are you wearing? Are you two a couple? Is it official? Anthony are you finally off the market? Is this a onetime thing?"Journalist bombarded questions at us while their cameras flashed at every picture they took of us.Not answering any questions, security pushed them aside while Anthony moved his arm from my back snaking it around my waist and pulled me close to his side.Even though I was still pissed at him, the prot

There is no calamity greater than lavish desires. There is no greater guilt than discontentment. And there is no greater disaster than greed. ~Lao-TzuAnthonyMy encounter with Charlotte earlier had me smiling the entire day.Don't get me wrong, it was not my intention to piss her off but I couldn't just help it considering the fact that she always pisses me off too plus, it was my way of getting back at her for giving the silent treatment and avoiding me.Not wanting to dwell much on her expression after the awful comment I made concerning her hair and cologne, I buried myself in my work. Truth be told, I loved her cologne, it always did something to me and her hair, it was the perfect color and length complementing her beautiful big green eyes any man could fall in love with, but I was never going to tell her that, was I a coward, yes, I was always one when it came to that girl, I'm a man of few words, I've always believed that actions speak louder than words but it’s different wit

Every man, at the bottom of his heart, wants to do right. But only he can do right who knows right; only he knows right who thinks right; only he thinks right who believes right. ~TiorioAnthonyI glanced at my watch again and back in the hallway to see if Charlotte was coming but there was no sign of her. It's been ages since she left. I tried calling her phone but sighed in defeat when I head the device ring in the clutch sitting on the table.Getting up from my seat, I went to the direction she had disappeared to remembering she might have mentioned something about the ladies washroom. I found the ladies room without difficulty."Sir this is the women's room, the gent's is that way." a short woman corrected."I didn't ask you." I rolled my eyes pushing past her and entered "Charlotte Quan!" I yelled. "Charlotte are you in here?""Elio." I heard her voice call followed by someone sobbing lightly from a stall."Charlotte get the fuck out of there!" I groaned "this isn't the time to

The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action. ~ConfuciusAnthony"Princess are you finished or do you need some help?" I finally asked after a few minutes had gone by."No, I’m almost done." her voice was so weak."Come here." I pulled her to my chest as she stumbled out of the stall."Let's go home please." she pleaded her voice cracking again."Can you walk?" She nodded but I gave her a quickly scan and she didn't look like she could reach the restrooms door without fainting."The bag." she pointed at the bag inside the stall.With a ton of toilet paper, I cleaned the blood off the floor. Satisfied with the job, I picked up the bag before lifting her bridal style. She leaned her petite frame against my broad chest and closed her eyes.Using the back door to sneak out of the hotel undetected, I walked over to my car. Getting there, I carefully sat her in the passenger’s seat and buckled her seatbelt before moving to my side, throwing the bag

Imagination was given to us to compensate for what we are not; a sense of humor was given to us to console us for what we are.~Mack McGinnisAnthony 'Bang! Bang! Bang!'A loud banging on my door pulled me out of my sleepy state.The loud banging on my door carried on."Damn it." I groaned trying to move and see who it was but couldn't because something was hindering my movement, I looked down and found Charlotte lying head on my chest with her arms around me and our legs tangled together, smiling I carefully unwrapped myself from her and got off the bed.'Bang! Bang! Bang!'The banging was heard again making me angrier than I already was for being forced to move out of the comfortable position I was in. I took long strides to the door and almost pulled it off its hinges when opening it."What!" I growled at a shocked Trevor. "Who gave you the fucking right to bang on my fucking door you imbicile!""I-I-I" he stuttered moving back."Use you fucking words idiot." I left the room and c

Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Howard ThurmanCharlotte"Princess." I heard a faint voice groan."Princess are you awake?" it came again but I hid my face in something that smelt so good, I knew this scent, it was all too familiar but I just couldn't place who it was for some reason.I felt my mouth move and let out a sentence that probably never made sense."Are you complimenting me in your sleep." The voice laughed.I felt my mouth move again obviously replying but I couldn't understand myself."Is that so?" the voice let out a sexy chuckle."Kiss me." the words slipped out of my mouth and my eyes shot open with shock, I blinked furious comprehending what the hell I just said now that I was fully awake.Say something, save yourself"Princess." the voice called and my face flashed red when realization hit me hard, the voice belonged to no other than

"It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about where you get yourself in the end. There’s power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice." "Becoming" — Michelle Obama. "She's beautiful, isn't she?" Anthony spoke as the waiter was pouring more wine into my glass, he was not the same one that had attended to us earlier. "Pardon?" He replied turning to face him. "I asked you if she was beautiful." He repeated calmly. “That was my question.” "Y-Ye-yes she is." The man stuttered looking scared under Anthony's threatening yet calm glare. “Name?” “Sir?” The waiter stared at Anthony as he tried to comprehend what he was asking of him "Your name, What is your name?" He clarified. "I-I- Ivan, m-my name is Ivan." "Well Ivan, I strongly suggest you stop drooling over what doesn’t belong to you, she's mine and you will never not even in your dreams have her or meet her standards." He seethed. "Anthony-" I narrowed my eyes at hi

"Technique and ability alone do not get you to the top; it is the willpower that is most important."~Junko Tabei-Charlotte-"Aah-" I moaned into his mouth as he kept his thick fingers in and out of my soaked pussy not once breaking out heated kiss."Fuck princess." He groaned pulling away and beginning to suck the nape of my neck."Elio!" I practically screamed no longer able to suppress my cries of pleasure. I shamelessly rocked my hips against his fingers while my shaky hands grabbed his face to meet mine with his icy orbs that were now a darker shade from lust, he stared at me."I need you." I told him in barely a whisper and I expected him to do exactly that, he was just as horny as I was, or maybe I was wrong, maybe I had read all the emotions in his eyes wrongly because instead of taking down the expensive black material that stood between us, he instead completely pulled away from my body and smirked."Elio." I let out still trying to catch my breath as I looked at him in utt

"We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated." ~ Maya Angelou-Charlotte-"Anthony." I stuttered swallowing the lump in my throat.“Hey princess.” He smiled stepping further into the room and shutting the door behind him. Judging from his smile, I took it that he had not heard my conversation with the girls with him as the main topic of discussion.“Guys I’ll speak to you later.” I spoke into the phone and hang up quickly before they could say anything that could make the situation awkward. I knew my friends and how blunt they could be sometimes, Ingrid especially, she had such a diahriour mouth sometimes.I internally groaned at the realization that they had overheard Anthony refer to me as princess, I knew for a fact they would tease about it me now. Pressing the power button and watching the screen go black, I placed my phone screen first on the table in front of me.“Yes.” I turned to face him again.“Who were you talking to?” He quizzed.“Ingrid and Paula.” I answ

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do. ~Thomas JeffersonCharlotte"Hey." I beamed when I saw Riley and Taylor who stood in the living room. Giving each of them a hug."Are you OK?" They asked worry written all over their faces."Yeah." I nodded. "What happened?" Taylor grabbed my gauze covered wrist."It's just a little bruises from Anthony holding them too tight." I assured them. "I'm fine really.""I'm so sorry." Riley sighed eyes filled with guilt. “This was all my fault.”"No it wasn’t, you didn’t have a gun pointed to my head forcing me to go with you. I snuck out on my own and these are the consequences, plus on the bright side I had fun." I smiled playfully pinching her cheeks."Kaleb!" I called and almost immediately he came. "Have someone serve the snacks I just made and bring it to the pool area." I told him."That's not-" He b

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.~Thomas EdisonCharlotte"I snuck out, I'm sorry." I choked out while Anthony squeezed my throat making it difficult for me to take in oxygen."You snuck out." He repeated slowly."Yes, I'm sorry.""You will be sorry when I'm finished with you." He seethed tightening his grip on my throat."You are hurting me." My eyes becoming teary with each passing second. "Elio." I sobbed when he didn't let go.As if taken aback, he let go and took a step away from me.I brought my now red and swollen wrist up to my chest sobbing, it was throbbing badly and happened to be one of the four reasons I was now crying my eyes out, firstly, I felt like a dirty slut, secondly, I was afraid of what Anthony would do to me, I had never seen him so angry before and that petrified me. Thirdly, I felt like I had let him down and because of that, he would never like me again and lastly, I couldn't bottle up my emotions an

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Accordingly, a 'genius' is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework. ~Thomas EdisonAnthony "Where the fuck is she!" I yelled at my men who were staring at me, fear evident in their eyes. "I swear if you don't bring her down here I'll blow all your brains out!"“Don calm down." Julio tried to calm me but that only fueled my anger.It had been a long week and the last thing I needed was to find Charlotte had gone missing when I got home. I had been dealing with a lot of unnecessary issues that would have not even occurred had everyone followed my instructions but as always, someone just had to make a mistake which only I could rectify and now I was paying for being away for so long."Shut the fuck up!" I growled at him. "How the hell can a girl sneak past all your grown asses, all of you, it’s just one girl for fucks sake!"“We are sorry Don.” One of the guards mumbled."Put Marcus o

Build a dream and the dream will build you. ~Robert H. SchullerCharlotte"Chug! chug! chug! chug!" The girls cheered as I chugged down vodka as though it was water ignoring the burning on my throat."Fuck" I put the bottle on the counter unable to take any more."Wow!" The girls cheered."It's my turn." Taylor grabbed the bottle and put it to her lips while we cheered her on."Wooow!" She screamed handing the bottle to Riley who did the same.We had been drinking for a while now and judging from how much we had taken and none of us had started going crazy yet, I could tell we were highly tolerant to alcohol which was a great thing by the way."Men are stupid." Riley complained."Tell me about it." We all groaned.So turns out, all of us were having male drama."I hate the way they think we can always bend to their will and suck them off when the demand." Riley rolled her eyes."I know right, I hate the power they possess." Taylor groaned"Let's just forget about those useless stuck

Build a dream and the dream will build you. ~Robert H. Schuller CharlotteEverything happened so fast, one minute I was backing away from Anthony and in the next he was kissing me roughly, my brain was just finding it difficult to digest everything. I tried to push him off but that only seemed to piss him off more, he grabbed my thighs placing my legs around his waist with one hand while the other wrapped around my throat. His actions made my lady bits clench and my panties dampen.I was so caught up with his that was slightly chocking me that I missed him untucking my shirt from my pants until he bit hard on my lower lip as though asking for entrance. I gladly opened my mouth and let his tongue devour me. The kiss became heated and intimate quicker than I thought, I was struggling to keep up with Anthony’s pace but tried my best to savor his the divine taste mouth.Breathless, I found the energy to push him away, but he wasn’t having it, I tugged at his thick loc

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. ~Ralph Waldo EmersonCharlotteMorning came and I pulled myself off the bathroom floor where I had spent the night. Groaning at the pounding headache I was experiencing, I took a look at myself in the mirror, with my hair that was now in its natural curls littering my face and big bags under my red swollen eyes I was a mess. The events of last night were still replaying on my mind and that made my eyes glossy with tears."It's time to move on Charlotte, just let him go." I told myself and took a few deep breaths.Taking a shower, I brushed my teeth, applied my makeup and dried my hair letting it rest in its natural curly state before going to my closet to pick an outfit that looked presentable.It was only Wednesday so I decided to wear cream pants and a white button down, I finished the outfit with black heels and a purse. Giving myself a last look in the mirror, I grabbed my things and went to the kitc
