Laura's I remained frozen as I stared at Caspian. It was as if he wanted to use his hands to slap my face. I bet that if I had said any words at the point where he was in a rage, he wouldn't hesitate to make those palms his plastered on my face."You know I'm struggling. You don't have a work to do at the moment, so I'm trying my possible best to make sure we don't starve to death," I replied calmly, trying to calm Caspian down. "What do you mean by I don't work? Oooh, do you want to turn it into a mocking scene for me now?" Caspian reacted picking offence in what I had said, stepping backward nodding his head, biting his lips as he boiled in anger. I didn't know why he was so enraged. Could it be that someone had annoyed him in a dream or what? Because throughout my life with Caspian, we haven't argued this long, and it was all surprising and shocking to me. "No, that's not what I mean," I replied, sighing hard as I looked downward."What do you mean then?" Caspian asked, turning
LauraCaspian’s mouth was so close to mine his breath bruising at the top layer of my lips as he apologised. His eyes stared deep into me, his voice was so soft and gentle that made my heart begin getting relieved of the anger I had for him. I don't know, but Caspian has something that's unique about him, something that always gets me charmed by him. He can switch my mood at will; it's as if he has a kind of remote that can control me, making me dance to his tone. Suddenly, my alarm sounded from the bedroom, and that was when I realized I was late and had to get dressed for work. I set my alarm in a way that it does ring twice: the one which will wake me from bed, and the one which reminds me if I was late for work. And just by staring at the sun which was already raised to its peak, I could tell that I was badly late for work and the alarm could have rang multiple times before now without me noticing. Missing work today might be the final straw for me; I might even lose my job.I st
Laura Rowan stood at the door, his hands still wrapped against his chest. He kept up the stare as he walked forward.My hands gripped on the tip of my shirt as I looked away. Nervousness and fear had already made fun of me, rolling itself over my skin as they mocked me sarcastically. I could feel my hands slightly shaking.Rowan has the power to fire me, and if he did now, he can't be blamed. Rowan had warned me countless times of my lateness to work and some other things which he had told me to amend, but I keep failing him. Seeing him in rage now, there's no doubt that he’s here to dismiss me from working for the Clinton company. Rowan walked forward and sat on the chair, facing me, his hands propped on the desk, staring at me without saying a word."Good day, sir," I said, smiling. "I was kinda busy when you got in. I wanted to get the work you gave me the other day done," I added.I totally forgot that I had done all the job Rowan had given to me. Me bringing it up now got him c
Laura Rowan deep his hands at the side of his suit jacket, then brought out a letter and handed it over to me. "Open this," he said, urging me with a smile.I pushed my hands forward, then collected the letter from Rowan's hands. My hands moved to the top of the paper side as I unpinned the pin holding the letters together. Seeing the content that was on the letter, my jaw dropped. I stared at the content with disbelief. This letter was truly for my promotion—Rowan wasn't lying about the promotion. This got me stunned.I shifted my gaze to Rowan as I asked. "What could I have done that deserved a promotion?"This promotion wasn't just a regular promotion; it was a very huge promotion, which would double my salary—two times what I had been receiving previously."Don't be too overjoyed about it. This promotion comes directly from the CEO himself. He said he acknowledged your hard work and would love to reward you kindly," Rowan said, breaking the tense of my happiness.I snapped back t
Laura The elevator reached the point at which it was supposed to stop. The door rolled open, and Jessica was still beside me, staring at me, waiting for a word from my mouth, but I gave her deaf ears and pretended like my mouth was sealed with a glue. I walked out of the elevator as soon as the door rolled open."Laura, you can't be ignoring me this way. I know it's my fault, and I am pleading for you to forgive me," Jessica begged, following me as I walked forward without saying a word.I got out of the floor, then went to the roadside, at which I waved a taxi."Laura, please talk to me. I don't like the way you are giving me deaf eyes. You are making me feel bad and guilty," Jessica shouted, her voice slightly crackling. I shifted my gaze to her, and her eyes were already piling up with tears."What do you want me to say? I have been ignoring you, preventing myself from saying hurtful words to you, so respect my decision and back off from my presence," I responded, my voice slightl
The door kept pounding repeatedly, and a voice which I had always feared as a nightmare and a dilemma to my soul sounded. “Open up, Laura. Why are you getting me so stressed on this? I just want to have my knife stroll on the layer of your skin, gently and slowly, I promise you, it won't hurt that much.” The fright at which that voice imposed into me was like a dagger piercing through my heart, a chill of terrors short my spin as I could feel my legs go numb. My hands trembling, heart raising. This voice was no other than my husband, Caspian. He hated me—he hated me more than anything in this life and had sworn with his life to torture me till I succumbed to pain itself. His intentions weren’t clear on what he wanted to do with me, but I think his aim was to kill me—and in a painful way. And this was all my fault, because I chose not to sign the divorce paper he had offered to me, I couldn't because I love him alot. I was a married woman, and I worked in the Clin
Laura“So, he's coming today? Wow, that's nice. At least I will be delighted to see him,” I replied, excited about the news."I just hope you don't get tempted by his looks," Jessica teased, which made me scoff."I'm married, Jessica. Why should I do that?" I replied, narrowing my eyes with a huff.I shifted my gaze to the paperwork I was working on while Jessica kept speaking. I suddenly noticed that one of the documents was missing on my office desk and I can't finish the paperwork I was working on without it. While thinking on where I had left it, I suddenly remembered that I last saw it inside my car. I let out a groan of frustration, touching my face as I pushed into my chair with a deep sigh. Thinking about the stress in which I will use to go get the document from my car got my body numb and it feels so exhausting. "You ain't even listening to what I'm saying," Jessica cut in, seeing how I was losing focus, muttering words of complaint."Don't you have anything to do? I think
Laura The next day, I was in my office, doing the fairly things as usual, when suddenly the door swung open, and Rowan, my boss, was standing, glaring at me, his gaze filled with rage that made my heart dread."What was the meaning of that? Do you know what you did yesterday might get an innocent me fired for no reason?" Rowan spoke with a fuming face, walking into my office as he shut the door lock, his hands placed on the table and his glare fixed on me as he spoke to me. "That person you failed to apologize to is the CEO of this company, and he doesn't give a damn about anyone's feelings. Any little thing you do that gets him offended, his punishment is to get you fired. Do you want to get yourself fired? I have worked so hard to reach the level where I am now, and I can't let your silly misbehaving get me pulled from what I had worked hard to achieve," Rowan added. He was so annoyed that, at a point, I got scared. His face was just inches from mine."Sorry, sir. I promise to adj

Laura'sThe freezing wind blew from the window to my skin, making me shake repeatedly as I felt cold surging into me. I slept on the sofa; I slept throughout the night because I can't sleep in the same bed with Caspian, because of how his breath stinks of alcohol. I curled myself into the soft sofa as I used the blanket to cover the whole of my body. I couldn't sleep early yesterday because I couldn't control the anger that was piling inside me. Losing fourteen thousand dollars was a big deal; it's a big loss. Well, I haven't asked Caspian if he was the one that took it, but looking at things, there's a hundred percent chance that he was the one who had taken the money. While sleeping, I felt a cold hand running softly on my lap as it moved gradually upwards, I opened my eyes in fright, my hands gripping on the blanket as I sprint from the bed, my eyes staring at who it's was confusingly before I finally got relieved as I noticed it wasn't what I was thinking, It was no other person
Orion'sI gasp hard as I hear his replies. "Fool," I muttered with a sigh, trying to think of a precise thing that could make Rowan remember who exactly I was referring to. And all of a sudden, recalling memories ran through my head as I figured out the exact way to make that possible. "Rowan," I gently called out his name, which he responded to respectfully."Yes, sir, I am listening.""Do you remember the day when I came visiting the company, and all of a sudden, a lady ran into me?" I asked."Ummmmmm," Rowan rumbled for a second—like forever. I awaited his reply, and I could feel myself getting impatient. Just as I was about to speak angrily, completely losing it, Rowan's voice cut in."Yes, sir, I remember. I know the exact lady you are talking about. Well, sorry for the other day. Hope you ain't annoyed about her rude character anymore?" Rowan replied over the phone, making me sighed as I gasped. "No, that isn't the issue now. I am not annoyed with her anymore. I just want to h
Orion'sI felt a big urge of enthrallment pulling me towards this lady. I couldn't sleep, neither think straight anymore, thinking deep into what had happened yesterday. It was unbelievable and unexpected. Well, I wasn't drunk, but I could tell that she was highly drunk as she walked up to me. Her captivating, soft lips got me numb. I couldn't resist those sexy laps and hips of hers, talk more of letting go of the passionate kiss she had given to me.“Ooh, gosh! What's happening to me? Can't believe I was so soft towards that lady. Can't believe I fell so deep into her temptation.” I murmured to myself with a deep sigh, falling into my bed as I let out a loud yawn.This lady wasn't just like the others. She was special. Everything about her was just so perfect from her appearance to every single thing of hers. Throughout my days of living, I had never, even for once, acted soft. But today, I felt myself craving her. Even at the moment I dropped the money on the bed, I thought she woul
Laura'sAs I stepped inside, my plan was to go straight to the bedroom so i could shower and change into a different cloth apart from the one Amanda gave to me. My lumbering steps pushed me forward before suddenly Caspian’ voice sounded, which made me stop in my tracks, as I turned. "Wow, you look good in jeans compared to in gown," Caspian said, admiring me as he stared at me hungrily.I let out a nervous laugh then wiggled my hair as it swayed to the side of my shoulders. "Yeah, I didn’t know I would fit better in it, thanks for the compliment though," I replied, smiling as I gracefully used my hands rubbing my long hair downwards. "Yeah absolutely, please, from today, make jeans trousers your usual, it's more sexy on you, I would love you to put it on anytime you are at home. I want to be fucking horny anytime I see you," Caspian jest, sucking on his lips."Yeah, sure, baby, I will," I replied, with a slight chuckle. I tried to reply to all his questions in a way that wouldn’t m
