“What am I supposed to do with all this time on my hands?” I ask through clenched teeth. “Sit there and look pretty.” Roman says, sipping casually from the glass in front of him.“You can always allow me to go back to my work.” I say to Roman, choosing to ignore his sentence and altogether hopeful for a positive response. “About that…… I took the liberty to resign on your behalf.” Roman says, shrugging nonchalantly. “You did what?” I scream at him, standing up so fast I knock down the chair I had been sitting on to the ground. “Stop screaming, princess, it will do you no good.” Roman says in a stern tone. “The hell it will. I refuse to stand by and watch you take control of my life, I'm also a person, I have rights as much as the next person.” I sat angrily, swiping away all the plates and spoons that were on the table in front of me to the floor in anger. I could still hear the breaking of the ceramic plates and cups even after everything lay still on the floor. When a maid ste
The lady whirls around, looking a little bit stunned when she sees me. “Hi, I'm Georgia.” I look at her outstretched hands for a minute before taking it in mine, “I'm Aella.” I say, finally enclosing her hand with mine. “I know this is too soon, but I'm hoping we can spend some more time together, I've missed you.” Georgia says, smiling brightly. “Do I know you?” I ask, not concerned that I might sound a bit rude. Georgia looks at Roman for guidance, probably confused by my question. “I told you not to overwhelm her. She can get to know you later.” Roman says. “Do we know each other?” I ask, interrupting their little chat. “Yeah, we did.” Georgia says, not offering any explanation. I guess she has also been warned against divulging any information on my past. “Hope you had a good day, princess.” Roman asks in an annoyingly inquisitive tone. I glare at him, refusing to humor him or get myself more worked up. On seeing that I was not going to offer any response, Roman leaves me
“Don't get your panties in a twist, princess. We will just be sleeping.” Roman says, cutting into his steak. “If that is all you want, why can't you do it alone?” I ask a little concerned at the innocent statement. Was this a joke? “I want you where I can feel you, Princess.” Roman says, giving me an intense look. “If that's all there is to it, then I agree.” I say, nodding my head solemnly. Roman gives me a smile that has me reconsidering my decision. But anyway, a deal is a deal. I eat my food, excited that at least I will get to work and not go out of my mind with boredom being stuck in this house. When we are both done, I head up the stairs and into my room. I intend to freshen up first before going into Roman's room. I open my bag that contains all my toiletries, and I take out all my essentials and head into the adjoining bathroom. However, when I step into the bathroom, I see the erotic sight, which is Roman in the shower stall. I never knew the shampooing of one's ha
Lily comes back out a moment later with the same files in her hand. She looks at me and then at the door like she would rather be in any other place than in my presence. “Roman said I should give this to you.” Lily says looking away as she places the files before me. I merely nod my head, effectively dismissing her. I had no reason to make small talk or ask irrelevant questions. I keep typing away on my computer if only to avoid having to be put under the stress of forcing a conversation with this new lady. When she leaves, I breathe in a huge sigh of relief and look at the time, counting down the minutes to lunch break. I'm tempted to take out my phone and type away but I remember clearly that it is one of the rules in this company's handbook that the use of a phone during work hours is prohibited. I'm shaken out of my reverie when the fancy telephone on my desk table rings. “Hello, this is Montgomery Enterprises, how may I help you?” Romans's deep voice comes through the phone
Roman Montgomery.Lily Feyman. Those were the only two people who had access to my desk while I was away having lunch with Ashley. But Roman couldn't have been the one to drop that letter. What would be his endgame? The person who dropped that message, obviously wanted to separate me from Roman. I look at the door to Romans' office and contemplate whether I'm making the right decision by keeping this away from him. The person could also only be playing jokes, right? What are the chances that my life might actually be under threat? There was really no need to raise an alarm over nothing. I put the paper away, deciding to put the threat out of my mind. I jerk off my chair and almost fall to the ground when the company's phone starts ringing. I dart a look around, worried that Roman might have seen me acting weirdly. I wouldn't put it past him to run an investigation to satisfy his curiosity. “Hello, this is Montgomery Enterprises. How may I help you?” I ask with a smile I know th
“If you stare at him one more time, I will be forced to carve his pretty head out of his body.” Roman says with a growl that almost makes me believe his statement. “I wasn't staring at him!” I say angrily to Roman. “Try again, princess. This time with the truth.” Roman says, glaring at Noah across the table. Apparently, Noah was related to the host so he was seated at our table. “How could I concentrate on any other person when you are around?” I ask through gritted teeth, realising my mistake only after I had said the words. Roman's face transforms into a triumphant smirk at my words. I look away from him and try as much as possible to concentrate on the host who was currently giving a speech on her calling as a philanthropist. Pfftt. As expected. When Vanessa is done with her speech, she comes to our table and sits down on the other side of Roman. Roman gives her a flat stare before turning his attention back to me. “Is the wine to your liking?” He asks in a soft tone. I nod
“This was clearly edited!” I say angrily through clenched teeth, refusing to let Vanessa see that she had successfully riled me up. “Step outside, princess.” Roman says in a calm, quiet tone. I look at him with hurt-filled eyes, but even then, he still refuses to look at me. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm shocked at his reaction. With all he's said and done up to this point, I thought that he would at least believe my words over the words of some conniving little bitch. Vanessa gives me a triumphant look which makes me flush red with anger. I stomp out of the room, only allowing the tears to run down my face when I was safely away from them. I pace the hallway, wondering what it would be like to stab Roman in the eyes. The thought keeps me pretty occupied till Roman steps out with a scared-looking Vanessa. Roman gives her a wilting look and if it is possible, her face becomes whiter. “I'm— so—rry, Aella.” She says, stumbling over her words. I'm speechless and short of words a
I wake up the same way. Wrapped tightly around Roman. I slowly unwrap his hands from my middle, leaning away in order to disentangle myself from him. I wanted or rather needed to escape from his room before he woke up. I don't think I can face him this morning. “Where do you think you are going?” Roman's growly voice says before he pulls me into him. I inhale sharply, startled by the warmth engulfing me. “I have to get ready for work. I work for you, remember?” I say to him, deciding to ignore his morning wood, which was currently poking my thigh. “Now I regret that decision.” Roman says in an exaggeratedly sad tone, which still does not stop my heart from beating a mile an hour. Roman pulls me tighter into him if that is even possible considering how close I already am to him and places a kiss on my neck and cheek. “Can I go now?” I ask in a squeaky tone. “It's cute that you seek my permission, princess. Yes, you may leave.” Roman says with a smirk. I bristle at his tone, f
