'What a way to ruin the mood?' I thought of my way home. Thinking that Natasha is a selfish woman, she doesn't give her husband what he wants and yet she is holding onto him instead of letting him go so he can be with someone who can match his energy and desires.I close the door behind me, rest my head against it and being to cry.I don't even understand where these tears are coming from. It isn't like Mr Cross and I have a relationship. He probably loves his wife and is trying to make things work, but she is so in different towards him.I kick my shoes off and throw my bag to the side, when I walk to the kitchen to get dinner started. I am shock to see Ella there around the stove cooking. She has a spoon in one hand and a glass of my wine in the other."What are you doing?" I yell over the music that is playing.Ella turns to me with a smile, but after seeing the look on my face, it drops and she rushes over to me."Angie, are you alright? Have you been crying?" She asks.I pull awa
The next day while I am out running a few errands for Mr Cross, mostly to pick up the new banner for the front of the building and getting his new favourite drink. I run into none other than Adele and Brie.They both are dressed in work clothes, no doubt coming from an interview. But from the looks on their faces, I can only say that they aren't successful.Too bad. Maybe if they didn't run their mouths so much, they wouldn't be in this position now.I stare at Adele, taking in her defeated look. I would have felt sorry for her, but she cause this on herself."A dragon fruit madness and a peach iced tea, please." I tell the server."Will that be all?" She asks."Yes.""A name for the order, please?""Angela S."I glance back at where Adele and Brie are standing in line when I shift over to the pickup side. Brie spots me first as our eyes meet. She frowns at me; she bumps Adele with her elbow, then points me out.I roll my eyes at them when Adele looks up.I don't know what Brie said t
I keep glancing over at Mr Cross' office. I can tell that something is bothering him. Maybe it is because of what happened between him and his wife the other day or this ongoing drama with those two girls.I watch him as he just stand there looking out his window, but even with all that is going on, I still can't help but feel ignored. I thought we would be having mind-blowing office sex after what happened, but here I am feeling horny.I get up from my desk with my intentions set, because I know that he needs to release some stress and I can help with that.Mr Cross glances behind him when I enter his office."Miss Smith, do you want something?""Yes, can you sit down, please?" I point at his chair.He raises a brow at me. "Is it those women again? Do you think I should fire the others to avoid this going any further?""Uh, it- no sir. I think firing them would just raise suspicion. It will make it seem as if you are hiding something.""What do you suggest, then?" He asks."For you t
I can't stop myself from thinking about my time with Mr Cross two days ago. We fucked most of the time in the back seat of his car, then moved to my apartment after seeing that the space provides limited movement.I tilt my neck to the right to touch the love bite he left there, still not believing how long we were fucking for. The entire evening, only stopping for food and when that wife of his called.But even with her expressing considers of him not being home yet, he still spent the night with me. He even woke me up with morning sex. It was as if he was making sure he could get all that he can since she won't be giving it to him.Even though he was rough and it got painful at times, I still made sure to not run from him, because the smile he had on his face made me know he was enjoying it and I enjoy pleasing him, especially after confirming that his wife doesn't do things like this.I put on my sneaks, then make sure to see if my outfit is appropriate for the occasion. I am about
I don't know how long we have been running for, or what distance we have covered, but all I know is that I collapse just as I cross the finish line to the sound of cheering. The next thing I know, someone is helping me into a seat and handing me water, which I foolishly didn't bring with me. And the little cups that were given out along the way were no help. "Another round of applause for these wonderful ladies, who pushed on instead of giving up. Coming seventh and eighth, to finish in a time of four hours and forty minutes." 'What? I have been running for that long?' I ask myself, then groan inwardly. "Thank you both for participating, and coming up in the top ten. Here are your medals." The man said, before placing the cold medal around my neck. I take it in my fingers to see that I have the eighth place one, Natasha smiles at the seventh place. "You two did wonder. Hope to see you again next year." He asks. I can't answer. I fear that if I open my mouth, then that will be the
And just like that, Natasha and I became close. We exchanged numbers the day after our hair appointments, and for almost two weeks we would meet every weekend for brunch, lunch or just simple strolls in the park.I learn much from her about her husband, because she would confide in me about him.She claims that it is exhausting being a house wife due to his demands. But really I think she is just lazy, and they have maids so she doesn't have to do much.She is just unappreciative and doesn't understand that sometimes a man wants a home cooked meal from his wife. He needs his back rubbed, and for her to listen to him.Natasha doesn't seem to provide any of that. She doesn't seem to know how to cater to him or provide him with that womanly nature.Poor thing, when I get Mr Cross, I will show her what it means to take care of a man.Today, Natasha asks if I can accompany her to somewhere that I am sure is a cosmetic clinic. Which makes me wonder why she would go to a place like that.She
"I did no such thing! Why are you lying on me?" Brie seems panic."Because I'm not lying. You came up there with a plan, but Mr Cross pushed you to the side. Literally, I can't stand women like you. Go around thinking that every man wants you when they don't. Women like you lie on men and get them wrongfully put away."Brie shakes her head. "I'm done talking to you. I'll just go tell Natasha what I saw.""Go ahead, she is right out there." I point at the door.Brie's face goes red."You need to stay away from him!" She grits her teeth."We work together, or are you just that jealous that I am working so close to him? Wow, do you have a crush, Brie?" I laugh.Her friend, that seems unsure, speaks up for the first time. "It is becoming hard to defend you, Brie. I mean, it is getting annoying that all you talk about is Angela and Mr Cross. You seem obsessed. Maybe you were the one in his office that day."Brie makes a screeching sound, then pushes her friend back.I clap my hands. "And t
For a week I stay away from work, saying that I am sick when really I took some time off to prepare myself for today. I smile at myself in the mirror as I get ready for work, this brand new Monday morning. I am about to rock Mr and Mrs Cross' world. And by that, I mean that I am going to get Mr Cross and kick Natasha to the curb. After having my breakfast, I head for the door. Ready to take on the task ahead of me, which will be a simple one. I get to MetroSport with my intentions set, with a coffee in hand as I go up to Mr Cross' office. Even though I know he isn't there has yet, I'll wait for him to come. I smile to myself while sitting in his chair, knowing that it will all be mine. His money, that house, cars. Soon I'll be travelling the world, being waited and not having to work a day in my life ever again. When I hear the door opening, I spin the chair around to come face to face with my boss' shocked expression. I get up with a smile. "Miss Smith?" A look of confusion fla
Even though it has been a year since I have escaped the clutches of Leo, I still look over my shoulders to make sure that he hasn't found me somehow.I shiver as I pack the dishes into the washer. Just thinking about that man gives me chills. I am still scared of him. I am still worried that he will find me and take me back as his prisoners, maybe even kill me.I know that Raymond told me to not think about it so much and that Leo will never find me. But even with moving to a new state, and changing my name, along with bleaching my hair blonde. I still can't help but be wary. I think I might need therapy with how scared I am."Hey, babe. I'm home." Raymond comes up behind me, kissing my neck.That cause me to calm down."Everything is coming along great." He kisses my neck."That's good.""How is my little angel?" He asks."She is sleeping. I think her teeth are coming in, so she is fussy."Raymond spins me around. "I was thinking of a date night, say tomorrow. We can go to that resta
I make my way slowly through the small forest, because I wasn't aware that the place was so uneven or filled with holes. Which makes me wonder if any of them are for me.The place is also slippery, with my having to go even slower and have to hold on to the tress for support, afraid that if I fall, I might lose this baby.My phone buzz, it is a message from Layla. She met up with Avril and Adele, and is only notifying me about how far away they are.I can hear tires screeching on the pavement, then the old rusty gate opening. I pause to make sure I'm not seen by ducking down and waiting for it to drive up to the house.I then begin to run in the direction of the main road, slipping and falling as I do. Not stopping until I get to the high wall that is blocking my freedom.I peek out from the trees to see if anyone is coming down the driveway before moving to the gate. But sadly, it doesn't have a keypad like I hope, so I can't put any pass codes in.I guess he knew I would try to esca
The next morning, I am happy to know that Leo has left for work. Thanks to Pete for giving me that information.I basically run back upstairs to call the few numbers in my phone.Tye first person I call is Natasha, I don't know why but it just feel as if I should apologise to her for not returning."Angela, oh my God. Where have you been? When you didn't show up the next day, I started to worry about you. Then I tried your phone but I went to voice mail.""Because Leo went crazy and has me out in some log cabin in the middle of the woods."Natasha pause for a while. "I don't know where that is, but are you able to leave?""I will soon, before he gets back. I have to go. I have someone to call so they can come help me.""Tell me what I can do.""You just stay put. With your state, I don't want you to worry too much."I hang up before she can say anything else.Layla picks up on the first ring."Jesus Christ, where have you been? The girls and I are worried sick.""I'm fine.""No, you a
Even though Leo didn't really put his hands on me, I can't help but shake from fear. I thought he would have beaten me to anything and I would really have a miscarriage, but now that I really am pregnant I don't think he will hit me. And even so, I can't allow him to think that his child is his.I make my way to my room to let the girls and Raymond know what I happening, but before I can take out my hidden phone, Leo walks in."I mean, I when I said that I don't want you around those girls again, I don't trust Layla and I know that she must be telling you things. So to get you away from them, we are going to move.""What?""And one more thing, I want a divorce, but I won't let you leave until you have my son."My heart skip at those words."You can't do that.""I can. It is in our contract. You remember? The one you signed."I can't get any words out."You will be locked up in the new house. There will be doctors tending to you until you have my son and then I'll throw you out.""But
Right there in the living is Leo on top of Star, both of them sweaty and breathing hard. I don't know why I can't look away or leave; it is as if I'm mesmerised by the both of them fucking on the sofa.Star moans, calling his name. While Leo fucked her from the back, with one hand gripping the back of the sofa and the other gripping her waist.I am about to walk away when Leo looks up and see me."Angela, I'm glad you are home. You came just in time for the show."Star looks up in time to my name, I can see her smiling at me, she start overreacting. Moaning louder, as if she is enjoying it such but I know she is doing it only to get to me but I don't care.Leo calls me over, telling me to sit. I do as he said, not really caring about them and the act, because I don't love Leo, so Star can't hurt me. She can have him for all I care."I want you to watch this, Angela. Get this image into your mind."He starts fucking her harder and her moans gets louder.Leo makes a sound as he comes, t
When I wake up the next morning, I am glad to know that Leo has already left for work.I roll to my side. The moment I do, my stomach gets uneasy and I have to rush to the bathroom where I throw up in the sink. Not even making it to the toilet.Just as I thought it was over, it starts again.Avril comes into my room, only to see me on the floor with my head between my knees."Are you alright?"Before I can answer, I start throwing up again."I don't know. I woke up, and it's like this.""Ok, get yourself cleaned up. I'll make some tea to help settle your stomach."When she walks out, I throw up one last time before brushing my teeth and coming down to the kitchen.I am greeted by pepper mint tea, eggs, waffles, and bacon."Thank you." I smile at Avril, who gives me a look instead.I drink the tea first, but on the first bite of the waffles and getting it down. I rush to the sink and start throwing up."I think you should do a pregnancy test," Avril lets out."What?""You heard me. Whe
I make my way back to Raymond, telling him I have to go now. For some reason, I am feeling nauseous, and as if I would throw up in any second."Are you alright? Maybe you just need to lie down for a while." He said, touching the small of my back."No, I feel really sick. I don't know why, but suddenly it is as if-" I stop talking, because I can actually feel the bile rising in my throat now.All I can do is embarrassingly lose the contents of my stomach, but as soon as I do, I feel better.I wipe at my mouth. "Sorry," I tell Raymond, feeling my face heating up."Yeah, I think it is best if you go lay down for a while." Raymond tells me, taking my hand and leading me up to his room.There I lay down, and he came to lie beside me."You look pale, what did you eat?" He asks, brushing back hair from my forehead."I didn't eat anything, just had that beer. But it did have a funny taste to it.""Maybe it has expired."I shrug, cuddling up closer to him.I feel much more safe and secure with
Raymond introduced me as his girlfriend, which everyone greets me."I don't know you had a girlfriend.'' A female said, she pouts then frowns at me."It's fairly new, three months to be exact." He tells her, putting an arm around my shoulder to pull me close."I doubt it will last long." She said, then turns her head away."Janet, how can you say such a thing?" Another female said.I try to ignore that, and focus on the others that are around. Mostly on the two female I'm more familiar with."Can you excuse me a minute?" I ask, moving away from Raymond."Fancy seeing you here," I said."I can say the same. I thought you were married. Never did I expect to hear you being the girlfriend of Raymond. What was it, all a lie? Or maybe you are living a double life?""No, it's...you know, the situation I'm in."Star scoffs. "I hear your complaints, but I don't believe your words.""What? How can you say that? I show you the bruise on my stomach, and tell you all that he has done to me."Star
It has been three months now since my dear husband has been giving me my freedom, where I meet with the girls and Raymond. I have also been secretly paying for a house, thanks to the help of Avril.I get the credit card from Leo; I withdraw money which he never questions. Give it to her and she deposits it to the realtor. Then I get an alert on my burner phone about the payment. I also make sure to give her money for herself, not as a bribe but because I learnt that Leo didn't pay her much. She works two jobs and has children. I offered to buy her a house as well, but she refused.I message Raymond to let him know that I'm on my way to him. I already had breakfast with the girls and now I'm going to spend a little time with him. Not only do I enjoy the sex but also his company. He is a wise man, and always fills me in on what is happening around the world. He makes me feel included, unlike Leo.With Leo, it is all about sex. We never have a conversation, and it has always been like th
