Arianna had a comfortable sleep this time. There was no marrying the short man Big Joe in her dream nor the man she stole from coming after her.If there was anything she dreamed about, it was of gorgeous blue eyes. Hence, it came as a huge shock to her when those gorgeous blue eyes stared back at her when her eyes finally opened."Aah!" Arianna screamed, falling from the bed because, in her bid to come down quickly, she had somehow tangled her legs with the sheet. "Oof," She fell on her stomach and it hurt like shit. This was not funny at all."Shit!" Elijah cursed, coming over to her side to her feet. Arianna didn't dare to reject his help and clung to him like an octopus as he lifted her back to the bed, his powerful muscles rippling with the effort. Carefully placing Arianna on the bed, Elijah leaned over her and that was when he made the mistake of staring into her eyes. Arianna gulped when her eyes connected with his and it seemed like it was just the both of them at that mom
That announcement dampened Arianna's countenance at once. Although she knew that she would have to leave just as he told her yesterday, she just didn't think that it would be so soon - she was beginning to like this place. Or maybe, she was beginning to like his company a little."Okay," Arianna said nodding her head. Suddenly the once appetizing pancake didn't look that enticing anymore. Her stomach was churning and it made her pretty much uncomfortable. She lost her appetite."Would you be coming along?" She asked and at the last moment realized how stupid that question sounded. Why would Elijah come with her? She was lucky enough that he helped her escape the bad guys and was risking his life to get her out of the country. Gosh, she was so stupid. At that question, Elijah glanced up from his plate, holding her gaze. He then arched a brow asking, "Do you want me to come with you?" he threw the ball in her court. "Would you come if I told you to?" Arianna challenged him and when h
It seemed like Arianna had been dreaming when he pressed his lips against hers. She froze up, her body unmoving until Elijah deepened the kiss and a moan left her mouth.Arianna was stunned, her eyes widening. This was the first time she had kissed a man on the lips - the pecks she gave Big Joe didn't count at all.Her heart pounded in her chest with a concussive force that made it seem like she would suffer a heart attack soon. Arianna loved watching soap operas and each kissing scene had always made her crave that emotion. She wondered what it would feel like to have the lips of the love of her life on hers. Only now, she didn't know how to describe it.Her toes curled on itself and she felt this urgency to respond so she wrapped her hand around his neck while the other fisted his shirt, pulling him closer.Elijah must have seen that gesture as her permitting him because he boxed her in, his hand wrapping around her waist while he braced himself on the seat.Nothing mattered to Aria
Kenith didn't like this one bit yet he had no choice. Big Joe had given him an ultimatum to find Arianna or his position was at risk. Moreover, Arianna was the key to his plan, he had to find her at all costs.Unfortunately, the only clue to finding Arianna was to see Marcelo Luciano whether he liked it or not. They were the people he had last seen around her. As soon as Kenith arrived at the club, he was stopped at the entrance where many others were waiting in line. However, he had drawn more attention because he had two of his people behind him as guards. "Who are you?" The bouncer stopped him. "I'm here to see Marcel and don't tell me he's not available because I made my research before coming and from my Intel, he's in here," At that comment, the bouncer narrowed his gaze at him and observed him closely. Kenith smiled, then tilted his neck to the side, exposing a hint of the tattoo on his shoulder causing the bouncer to exhale noisily.The bouncer puffed his chest and stood
"Come on, stop it!" Arianna tried to snatch the gaming pad from Elijah.The both of them were having the time of their life. After acknowledging the fact they had feelings for each other, Arianna decided they took advantage of today before moving into their uncertain tomorrow.The first thing they had done was to bake. Elijah was a prowess in the kitchen which was quite a shame to Arianna - she thought she knew how to cook best and considering the fact she's a woman. But Elijah proved her wrong, he was incredible. No, he was perfect.Since Arianna had a sweet tooth, they baked a lot of cookies and cakes. All of their ingredients were ordered online and Arianna still couldn't get over the laughter that formed in her throat whenever the deliveries arrived - they were baffled by the panting on Elijah's face.What a weirdo? They must think.Well, Arianna would have thought the same if it wasn't the fact the weirdo saved her from a miserable fate.They baked into the afternoon and when the
Arianna stretched her body out on the bed like a snake coming out of its brumation. She reached for the other side of the bed and though her hand came up empty, a smile still tugged on her lips.Last night was... How was she going to describe it? It was just amazing! A blush crept up her face when she remembered what happened between her and Elijah. That man was out of this world.He brought her to a plane she never thought of reaching. Arianna had touched herself once and although it felt good, that had been the end of it. Moreover, there is no time for fun when you're living with a family that made it their life decision to torment you. For once, Arianna was grateful she did not date while in her uncle's house. Imagine being with someone like Elijah and her cousin Claudia decides to snatch him from her? Arianna knew Claudia would surely attempt to seduce him. Arianna knew Elijah was a chick magnet, she just couldn't help but wonder if he would be able to escape Claudia's wiles if
"Don't show your nervousness,""Huh?" Arianna was startled by his statement and that was when she looked down to discover that her hands were shaking because he placed his hands gently over it. "Oh. thank you," Arianna let out a deep breath. You couldn't blame her for being nervous though, many things could go wrong today. She was using a fake passport and the man beside her was wearing a mask for freaking sake. Gosh, when did she become like this?"I'm always here with you. That's all you have to know. Moreover, the first rule of being a villain is to act like you're invincible," Elijah said to her. "Okay. Wait - what?!" Arianna was shocked. When did she become a villain? However Elijah didn't let her think because he grabbed her face and kissed her briefly. "I think this has just become my favorite mask," He said with a smile."And I think we have finally arrived," Arianna announced just as the driver of the limousine stepped down to open the door for her, Elijah stepping out by
Mimi was smartly dressed today and although she was anxious, she was filled with excitement as well. Today was her first day of work and she was going to meet a professional who would help her improve her coffee making skills. God, she couldn't wait to get started!Further evidence of her excitement was the fact she had arrived an hour to her working time and made breakfast.Truthfully, the breakfast was meant for Marcel - yeah, what was wrong with trying to impress the boss? Unlike her other boss, this one was young, rich, and sexy. Mimi squealed inwardly in her mind as she imagined what she could do with that body.A-hem!The point is she was trying to get on Marcel's good side. Sadly for her, the man she was trying to impress was already gone before she arrived. So the other men she could find chomped down on the breakfast and even praised her for cooking such delicious food.Mimi was filled with joy, it was her first day and everyone loved her already. Everything was going just t
