You Know What I Want

last update Last Updated: 2022-09-12 01:22:59

Mara was busy putting finishing touches to her work in the kitchen. She had done all the washing and cleaning and was now rounding up the stock taking. When it was only Leo and her along with the baby, she never worried about running out of food. She only restocked once a month, on the 15th. But since Mel joined them, food had been running down faster than usual. She now had to take inventory regularly to avoid the distasteful experience of running out of essential food items.

She was in a squatting position, counting the number of potatoes left when all of a sudden she felt a shadow darken the doorway. Instantly, she jumped up to her feet and turned to the door. She did not feel any more relaxed when she found that it was Mel. She just stood there staring at him and wondering what he wanted. She could ask him, but she wouldn't. She wanted him to speak first. But to her surprise, he said nothing. Instead, he stood leaning on the door staring back at her.

  • The Married CEO and I    Harassment Galore

    Marks and Dalia's visit to the house was the push that Mel so badly needed. His successful claim of being Mara's boyfriend got to his head and gave him the confidence and courage to become a direct adversary to Leo. Of course, he always waited till Mara was out of the house before commencing such actions, and so far, he had met with unprecedented success.He had begun with smaller acts like walking into the living room and changing the channel whenever Leo was watching the news on TV, but getting no response or resistance whatsoever from Leo, he soon became bold enough to graduate to the level of turning off the lights whenever he walked into the living room at night and found Leo there.Leo, as usual, said nothing. He simply responded to such moves by reading the news on his phone and always carrying a torch whenever he went to the living room at night. He knew that the harassment would continue and would certainly get worse, but he did nothing to curb Mel's madness. He had vowed to

    "You look... sexy," Mel praised as he saw her approaching the living room, but Mara didn't bother to acknowledge the compliment. Instead she took her stand beside a sofa directly opposite him. She stared at his smiling face for a few seconds before sitting down on the arm of the sofa, so she would have the advantage of looking down at him from a higher point."I want to talk to you about something I've noticed," she said and paused, still staring directly at him."What, babe?" He asked with a wide grin."You seem to be getting very comfortable here. You promised me you would leave when you find your feet. From what I've seen so far, you don't seem very interested in finding them. So, I'd like to know, when do you intend to find your feet and leave?"Suddenly, Mel's face changed. All the smiles vanished and he tightened his jaw in anger. "What the fuck do you mean? Are you chasing me away?""Don't swear at me," Mara shot back, maintaining eye contact without blinking."Is this what tha

  • The Married CEO and I    Another Confrontation

    "So, I should call it off, right?" Marks asked tentatively."Call off what?", Dalia asked without looking at him. She was in the 'spa room', sitting on a recliner and having her nails done while she read a magazine. "I said, call off what?", she repeated in a harsher tone.Marks suddenly regretted speaking. When would he learn never to talk business in the presence of domestic staff?? Months of insults should have taught him how to control his mouth by now. But it was too late to go back now; he had to keep talking, especially now that she was interested in listening."The assignment, you know. The one we gave that secretary girl to watch… ahem."He was silenced by a powerful glare her and he quickly looked down to avoid getting roasted any further by her eyes. There was complete silence in the room except the occasional 'swish' sound of Dalia turning the pages of the magazine. Marks sat in his position, only daring to shift once or twice, each time attracting a glare from her.When a

    When Mara returned from work later in the evening, she saw the men in the living room. Looking at both of them, and judging from their sitting positions and the looks on their faces, it didn't take much for her to guess that there might have been a recent renewal of hostilities between them. As a result, she decided to keep quiet and do nothing to increase the tension already existing in the room. But as she went past the dining room on her way to her room, she caught sight of the mess on the dining table. Mara came to a halt.This time, there was only one plate on the table and she knew instantly that it must have been used by Mel and no one else. She looked at the food-stained spoon and knife thrown haphazardly on the table and the grains of rice strewn all over one side of the table and even on the floor and the chair. Absolutely disgusting! This was not the first time she had seen such a mess and each of those times, the perpetrator had been one and the same person: Mel. She was s

    The day after the brutal but well-deserved expulsion of Mel, Leo strongly refused to let Mara go to work. He made her call in sick and then confined her to her bed, only coming to check on her every half hour or so."I told you I'm fine, but you just won't believe me," Mara pouted as he came in on his third such visit. Even though she was acting like she didn't want it, she secretly wished he could continue with such treatment forever. There was nothing she wanted more in her life than being spoiled and pampered heavily by him."I can't say I don't believe you, but the question is will you tell me if you were not fine?" Leo asked, sitting on the bed beside her. Mara had nothing to say in response. The only answer she could give was to turn her face away. "Guessed as much," he chuckled. "Just stay in bed, okay? I'll allow you go to work when that swelling is completely gone.""Oh. But you know it will take forever. Mr. Marks will complain, you know," she whined."He can hang himself if

  • The Married CEO and I    Leo!

    A few days after Mel's expulsion, Mara's face had almost gone back to normal, courtesy of Leo's caring treatment and painstaking attention. From the beginning, he had tried to make sure that there would be no marks or scars after the swelling and the cut on her lip would heal completely. She never knew he had so much knowledge about such things. After a few days of consistent application of a few herbal products, she could look at the mirror and see that her face was exactly as it was before Mel had slapped her, except for some strange colour on her cheek which would surely go off in time."How are you feeling now?", Leo asked as they sat down for breakfast in the dining room."I'm feeling great. Thank you," Mara replied with a smile. "I'm ready to go back to work.""Why are you so eager to get back to work?", he asked with a smile playing at the corner of his lips."Well, I don't want to risk losing my job. I have pushed my luck far enough as it is. I don't want to push it any furthe

    When Mara arrived at the police station – the only one in the area – she went straight to the officer at the front desk."Excuse me. I think my boyfriend has been arrested and brought here.""You think?", the officer asked with raised eyebrows, and Mara began to feel even more uncomfortable. She was not sure about anything. She did not know for sure whether or not Leo was really arrested and neither did she know where they had taken him to. But she summoned up some courage and looked directly into the officer's eyes."I'm sure, ma'am.""What's his name and when did this happen?", the officer asked, turning to her computer."Um... today. Not so long ago. His name is Leo. Leo Stanson."The officer typed some things into her computer and then stopped to stare at the screen. "Okay. He's in custody. Aggravated assault. Attempted homicide. Resisting arrest...""What! That's not possible," Mara cut her off, shaking her head vigorously. "Leo is the most peaceful person ever. He would never do

    On the journey back home, Mara was deep in thought. Though she knew so little, she believed there was a way that Leo could be prevented from staying in prison. She just had to find that way, and soon too. But how and where would she begin?Suddenly, a thought flowed into her mind. What if Marks and Dalia were the ones behind all this? How else would that idiot, Mel, have the connections Leo had talked about? How else would he be able to afford good lawyers too? Yes, now that she thought of it, it all made sense! She ground her teeth in fury and balled her fists as she imagined those evil people planning and plotting with Mel to keep her Leo behind bars. She'd kill all three of them if she could! But unfortunately, that wouldn't help Leo. She'd have to get him out of prison first before killing them.She exhaled and inhaled deeply a few times to help her calm down. Obviously, anger wouldn't help her and neither would it help Leo. What she needed to do was to think and come up with effe

    With her head down, Mara paced up and down in her room, wringing her hands from time to time, showing how helpless she was. She just did not know what to do to get herself a perfect solution for this issue. She had not told Leo anything about what her father had told her. And she had no intention to do so. If she was to tell him about it, she would also have to let him know her decision, and right now, she had not decided anything and neither could she imagine herself even telling Leo that she could never be his wife. It was absolutely impossible! Even she could not imagine a world where she would not be his lovely wedded wife. Since the day she met him, she had been consistently dreaming of this, and now that the opportunity had finally come, would she just sit down and let it fly past her just like that? Without fighting hard for it? The thought of another woman getting married to Leo and raising kids with him nearly made her run mad with anger. Impossible! She would never sit back

    "Dad," Mara gasped in disbelief. She had not expected her father to react in such a manner at all.But Caulden ignored her and kept his unwavering gaze on Leo. "A Stanson, right?", he asked."Yes, sir. Leonard Stanson is my name.""A Stanson from the North side."Hearing those words, Leo took a deep breath and drew up his body involuntarily. "If you had any business with my father or grandfather, I can assure you that I have no knowledge of it whatsoever and neither am I involved in it.""Humph," Caulden scoffed as if to say, 'who do you think you're trying to fool'.For a split second there, Mara almost forgot that he was her father and was just about to give him a tongue-lash. But she managed to hold herself in check."I don't know what you want me to say, sir," Leo said in all honesty. "I don't understand what you're trying to imply h...""You know very well what I mean," Caulden shot back. "You are a Stanson from the North side and you're no baby, so you must know the despicable

    "So, this individual, how long have you known him, you say?", Caulden asked after a moment of silence.Mara racked her brain, trying to remember when exactly she had first met Leo, but she just couldn't recall the exact date. So she gave up and simply shrugged. "I've known him for about two years or so. I can't remember when we first met, but he's been the most important person in my life and we love each other very much with all our hearts," she said with conviction. She was absolutely sure that her father would love Leo too. They were seated in his car now, heading over to the house for the men to meet each other formally."What did you say is his name again?", Caulden asked. His face seemed not so bright, but then, he was not known for smiling. A stoic man at best."Leonard Stanson. He's a very wonderful person." Mara never missed any opportunity to praise her sweetheart."I'm wondering if it's the South side Stanson or those despicable North side ones," Caulden murmured thoughtful

    “Welcome home. How was your day? Did everything turn out okay?”, Leo asked as Mara walked into the living room.“Um… yes,” she replied with a weak smile and sat down heavily beside him on the couch.“What happened? What’s wrong?”, he asked in concern, sensing that she was not feeling very great.“Nothing much really, but it seems like a lot,” Mara murmured, placing her head on his shoulder. She still had not told him anything about the fact that she had met the man who was her father. In fact, she had planned to tell him everything after getting the result of the test. Now that the test result was known, she was ready to tell her story from start to finish. “It’s a bit of a long story, but I’ll just make it brief. I found my dad.”As she had expected, Leo was taken aback by the statement.“What? I don’t understand. How?”, he asked in surprise.“It was something my mom s…,” Mara stopped there when she remembered that she had not yet told him anything about the fact that the man whose n

  • The Married CEO and I    With Her Father

    Sitting beside Caulden in the white office in front of the imposing desk that had a computer and several files and papers, Mara didn’t know exactly how to feel. Anytime she was around him, she always felt almost as if she was a child in a principal’s office. There was this aura around him that smelled of nothing but dominance and demanded respect from everyone who met him.“Where on Earth is this doctor now?”, he suddenly grumbled, bringing her back to the present.They had met the doctor in the hallway when they arrived at the hospital, but he had told them to wait for him in his office for only. And here he was.“I’m very sorry, sir and ma’am. Something unexpected came up. But I have your result here with me now,” the doctor, a tall young fellow, said as he sat down on his seat across from them.“It’s okay,” Caulden said impatiently. “Here’s here what it has to say. We don’t have all day.”The doctor nodded and began to open the envelope that contained the test result. As he pulled

  • The Married CEO and I    Settle or Not Settle

    When Mara arrived home, the first thing she wanted to do was to squeal in joy and run into Leo’s arms and tell him that she had finally found her father. But she managed to check herself and her emotions. She was still not completely sure yet if that man was her father. It was only after conducting the DNA test they could be sure. Therefore, she decided to keep it a secret from Leo. This was the first time she was hiding something significant from him and it was making her feel weird. She had never even tried to hide her feelings for him. She felt like an idiot now. For someone who had vowed several times in the past to trust him, she was acting like someone who did not deserve to be trusted. How dare she trust him when she herself could not be trusted? No matter how many times she told herself that she won’t be keeping this secret for long, she still could not convince herself enough that she was being idiotic. She shook her head in a desperate attempt to knock the thoughts off her m

  • The Married CEO and I    The Mission

    It was election season and the campaigns were in full swing. Even though the man she was looking for was no longer the governor of the state, he was still very much involved in the state politics. In fact, he was more like a political godfather nowadays and the de-facto leader of his party in the state. One of the candidates running for the office of governor was his anointed godson, so Mara was quite confident that she would find him at the campaign headquarters of the party on a day when they were holding an ex-co meeting. She made the half-hour journey to the place and alighted from the cab a few dozen metres from the campaign office. She had done a lot of research about political parties, this one in particular, and how things were run at a typical campaign office. But still, she was a bit nervous. She tried not to think of any expectations because she knew that would only scare her even further. The whole mission would depend on how confident she was. Any mistake would ruin ever

  • The Married CEO and I    The Next Line of Action

    When Leo walked into the sitting room, he found Mara in the exact same position they had left her: hunched over her computer, working. But he was quite sure that she was not doing her normal company work. What he could glimpse on her computer screen looked like it had more to do with research than anything else, and her work had little or nothing to do with that.She had begun this new activity only recently and had been keeping at it almost every day. Leo had not asked her what it was about and neither had she volunteered to tell him about it. He was curious, of course, but he would give her all the time in the world. Whenever she was ready to tell him about it, she would. If she never did, then so be it. She was an adult and he would respect her as such.“Why are you guys back in?”, Mara asked, without looking at her Leos.“Something happened. I received something strange from someone we both know.”The tone of his voice and the manner in which he made the statement caught Mara’s ea

  • The Married CEO and I    Surprise Visit

    Leo was sitting on the balcony in the warm afternoon of a beautiful Saturday, playing with his little namesake. Mara had temporarily expelled them from the house since their play had been too noisy and distracting for her. But they had happily come out to continue from where they stopped.Little Leo had learned to walk by now and his feet were quite strong on the ground; strong enough run after the football he and Leo were playing. To say he was enjoying the game was certainly an understatement. He was running back and forth tirelessly, with a happy grin on his face as he retrieved each and every ball that went past him. But all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a shadowy figure rushed into the scene.Leo was startled for a split second, but there was no need to be alarmed since the figure had rushed up to him and not the child. He was taken aback though when the individual went down on his knees before. It was a man, there was no doubt about that. But when Leo looked down at the upturned
