I stared around the restaurant in utter amazement and awe. This place looks luxurious and inviting. It had a cozy and warm ambience. It was just like the last restaurant I had worked in, but this one is more luxurious. I continued looking around as the workers went about their business, not minding I and Alexander who stood just at the middle of the restaurant. So, I'll be the owner of this place now. Me? Ivory? The owner of a restaurant? I have a jet, a car and now a restaurant? If someone told me six months ago that I'd own all these things, I'd call the person a liar. Alexander just made all this happen with so much ease that I'm afraid it's a dream. Even if it's a dream then I don't want to wake up from it. "Do you like it?" I heard Alexander whisper behind me."Like it? I love it!!" I turned and smiled up at him. "I am not an expert in the kitchen but I think I'd fit well there." I had learnt how to cook from Ava who doesn't fail to drag my ass to the kitchen whenever she's co
I immediately bolted out of the sleek, black car as soon as it came to a stop in front of the mansion. I didn't even wait for the driver to turn off the car engine. I just wanted to reach my room and take a warm bath. My whole body felt so itchy.After signing the documents, Alexander briefly introduced me to the workers, and showed me around the restaurant while giving me ideas of how to run and manage it. It wasn't that hard and at the same time it's not going to be easy. Since today is Friday, I'd resume work properly on Monday. After all set and done, Alexander had to tell the driver to take me home, because he still had something to take care of at his office. But, I knew he was lying because he had received a call, and thereafter his countenance changed. I'm guessing it has to do with his mafia world.With a tired sigh, I opened the main entrance door and got inside and I started walking towards the stairs. But I stopped when I saw someone that looked like Claire from my periphe
As soon as I sat down, John came forward and served me my food. I peeked at Ezekiel from under my lashes, surprisingly enough, his gaze was on me. I went ahead to munch on my food with the plan to totally ignore him. I don't want to engage him in any form of conversation. Maybe when he sees than not interested in him or whatever he's saying, he'd probably get tired and leave.I looked at the maid who just came in to fill my glass with orange juice and muttered a low thank you after she was done. "You look so innocent and naive. Don't you think?" Ezekiel muttered, his eyes still trained on me. I paused for a while gave him a brief look before resuming eating my food. "Oooooh, she's playing the ignore game...But you don't know I'm the master of that game. You've just woken up my hunting spirit, darling." I looked at him again. His eyes had a mischievous glint in them and a somewhat dangerous smirk was playing on his lips.I took a deep sigh to bury down my annoyance and set my cutlerie
As he leaned in closer, I could feel my heart racing in anticipation. The warm brush of his lips against mine sent shivers down my spine, and I felt my whole body melt into his embrace. The soft press of his lips lingered, creating a sweet warmth that spread through me like wildfire. In that moment, everything else faded away, and all that mattered was the feeling of his touch against my skin. It was a simple kiss, but in that moment, it felt like the whole world had stopped just for us. His hands cupped my face, his touch sending a wave of electricity coursing through me. As his lips met mine, the kiss was no longer gentle and sweet, but filled with raw passion and desire. Our bodies pressed together, fitting perfectly like two puzzle pieces coming together. The intensity of the moment made my head spin, my breath coming in short gasps as I lost myself in the heat of his touch. Every kiss was like a fire that burned between us, igniting a flame that consumed all my senses. And as w
WARNING>>>THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SOME EXPLICIT SEX SCENES. READERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED!Our mouths and body danced to the same rhythm. His kiss, his touch, his warmth, his body on mine felt so congruous. My body responded to every of his touch as though it was specially made for him, as if it was heavenly ordained for him.His fingers moved to caress my cheek, the line of my jaw, to my temple. Little brushes of tenderness, contradicting the raw strength and power in those hands and body. Ready to crush me but choosing gentleness. The lust rolled over me in waves, and I fought back with all my power.His mouth left mine and slowly started to trail kisses down my neck. He latched on my neck just below my jaw eliciting a low moan from my mouth. He sucked harder and another moan left my lips. I grabbed his shoulders tightly and my nails dug into them with so much fierceness. His lips captured mine again in a hot vigorous kiss. "You taste so good,” he muttered, biting and sucking on my l
ALEXANDERIn the dark of night, the stars and the moon lit up the sky. The dusk as quiet as a graveyard, save for the crickets chirping loudly in the distant and the soft breathing of this impeccable and breathtaking woman laying beside me.I was plopped up on my side, with my hand folded into a fist under my chin. I was gazing down at her beautiful face, drinking up her breathtaking features. I'm struck by the serenity that radiates from her peaceful face. Her eyelids, usually so expressive, now gently flutter with each soft breath. Her lips, curled into a subtle smile, seem to hold secrets I long to uncover.In this quiet moment, I'm reminded of the first time we met. Her bright eyes and vibrant laughter left an indelible mark on my heart. Now, as I gaze at her tranquil form, I'm filled with a sense of wonder and gratitude.Her hair, a rich tapestry of brown and gold, cascades across the pillow like a sunset on a summer evening. I ache to run my fingers through its softness, to feel
As I slowly opened my eyes, the warm light of the morning sun greeted me, casting a gentle glow on the room. I stretched, feeling the softness of the bed beneath me, and the comforting weight of the blankets. I'm met with the familiar scent of fresh laundry and a hint of his cologne, a subtle reminder that I'm not alone.I turned my head, and my gaze fell on Alexander, sitting in the armchair beside the window, watching me with a soft smile. His eyes crinkled at the corners, and his hair is mussed, as if he's been up for a while. I feel a flutter in my chest, a mix of happiness and gratitude.''Good morning,'' he whispered, his voice low and husky.I smiled, my voice still husky from sleep. ''Good morning.''He sets the cup of coffee in his hands aside and stood from the chair, his movements graceful and fluid. He leaned over me, his eyes locked on mine, and gently brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. His fingertips grazed my skin, sending shivers down my spine.''How are you today
The next day, I was feeling so much better. Alexander made sure I rested properly yesterday without stressing myself. I practically slept the whole day, trying to regain my lost strength and weary muscles.Alexander wanted me stay in today and rest, but I refused with the excuse that I want to go and see Ava. But truthfully, I want to go and see her, it's been a while since I last saw her. After much persuasion, pleading, sulking face and a pouty lips, Alexander agreed but then I'd have to go with a lot of bodyguards which is not even a problem. They can crowd my space if they want, so far as I get to meet Ava. I've missed her so much.The drive to Ava's bakery was becoming unbearably long and boring, even when I tried to engage Jackson in a conversation, but I'd end up getting ignored or a curt nod as a reply. So much for being a sophisticated chief guard. He should loosen up a little.Immediately the car stopped in front of her bakery, I jumped out of the car and headed for the ent
