"Emory is too stubborn. If I were to decide, I won't let her work here because she deserved better..." Ellwood clearly enunciated.
Gabriel clenched his teeth, obviously not liking what he's hearing. He then glanced at me.His dark murderous eyes slowly hit my nerves. I want to talk and end this topic, but he already talked first."I respect your opinion, Mr. Echeverrii. But Meredith is not overworked here. Actually, she just came back to work last Sunday. Also, I don't think I would need to background check to know how wealthy she is," he said seriously.Ellwood grinned inanely, "That's not my point, Mr. Magnus. I want you to fire her from work because I'm taking her back to Queensland."They fought with their eyes, both not wanting to lose.I clenched my fist tightly. I suddenly stood up angrily that made them turn their attention to me."I'll leave you two, I want to rest...""Love?!"We turned our heads to the new arrival. It was Alessandra, wearing herMy eyes widened as I raked my eyes on him. He's not wearing his shirt, I don't know what he's wearing underneath the comforter that hugged us both."How was your sleep?""Y-you slept here last night?!" I don't remember letting him stay here!"Wait, I actually couldn't sleep last night. I was awake all night long..." he chuckled sexily.Damn it, I bit my lip hard. Gosh, did I slept soundly last night that I didn't even remember anything?"I don't remember letting you stay here." I averted my eyes and was about to get off the bed when he suddenly pulled me back to lay down."What the fuck, Ellwood!" My breathing hitched, I'm really panicking right now. His dominant action and his strong muscles pinned me hard against the bed.I slowly felt my cheeks heating as he hugged me. Damn you, Ellwood. You're fucking crossing of the line."You're very tired last night. You slept in my arms so I carried you to your room... And I decided to sleep here with you because you
He frowned hard while looking down at me, his perfect sculptured jaws were tightly clenched. He muttered something that I didn't get.I pursed my lips. He is already pissed.He didn't ask again because the metal door opened. He intertwined his fingers in mine and led me to the door. I wanted to protest but I can't now that he held my hands tightly.We walked inside the restaurant where we had dinner last night. He assisted me to a private room.Table for two? I pointed out when I sae the table he got for us. The waiter quickly gave us the menu to order."Uh, are we meeting with Mr. Cheng here?" I asked casually."Nope, he's out of the country right now..." he answered.I swallowed. I thought we're having a lunch meeting with Mr. Cheng? So does it mean that we're alone here? Now?He leaned onto the couch, anf because our table is round, his legs can't help but to hit me under, considering his size.I couldn't take my eyes off the table. Our space is to limi
He suddenly let me go and stood up. "Finish your food. I'm just gonna call an important person." Minutes had passed but I still can't manage to recover from what happened. I scanned myself in the full-sized mirror while wearing a red formal above-the-knee evening dress. My long chocolate hair cascaded down my back and my delicate eyelashes kissed my rosy cheeks, with lips lightly red but so alluring. I want to look simple yet elegant, and I'm happy to know that I have achieved that look. I blew out a deep breath when I heard a small knock on the door. I picked up my clutch bag and got out of the room to greet Ellwood. My lips stretched into a smile when I saw his reaction. "Hey, what's your problem?" I tapped his cheeks lightly and chuckled softly. He licked his lower lip and curved upwards in a half-grin. "You look radiant!" he muttered. I stiffened for a moment before returning to my casual face. I smiled at him sweet
My emotions are mixed up right now. Anger, hatred, irritation, and jealousy. How could he kiss his mistress in front of me?! If I could take that scene back then, I won't back down now that we are in a different situation. He already knows the truth! "I love the smell of you on my clothes..." Ellwood whispered loud enough to be heard, wanting to be sweeter than the two in front of us. I gulped and glanced at Gabriel. He remained stoic, but he suddenly looked away as I heard a clenching jaw over the table. I was relieved when the food arrived. Ellwood and Alessandra kept their conversation intact. She showed a polite interest in Ellwood's life. He was proud to talk about how successful he was in the fields of Freight and Cargo Shipping. As well as being the CEO of Rising Stone which is supposedly my position. "Rising Stone? I heard a few things about them. Are they the owners of the biggest mining company in Queensland?" Alessandra talks inquisitively.
My heart thumped erratically, knowing that the tension between us was left hanging in the air. "So, Mr. Magnus. Can we expect your presence at our engagement party?" Ellwood cracked the silence in a decisive way. "I'll think about it. I have a lot more important things to do than to socialize at the party," he replied. Ellwood emitted a smirk. He shook his head before he confidently leaned against his chair. "If you haven't had a wife, I'd think you're against our plan of marriage..." His lips turned up wide, "But because you're already knotted to another and it looks like you and Alessandra love each other, maybe I'm wrong." Ellwood's smirk became wider, having the plan of igniting the fire. I swallowed hard. Even if I don't like where this is going, I suddenly want to hear Gabriel's answer. He licked his lower lip slowly. He looked up, seemingly losing his patience. "Marriage isn't a ring worn or a pape
My heart pounded nervously against my ribs. I held my dress tightly to stop it from falling. I took a deep breath, in and out as I was held hostage by his gaze. He didn't answer me, instead, his eyes raked my body. "Get out of my room or else I'll scream!" I said in my shaking voice. His lips twitched upward and he just shrugged. Instead of being threatened by my remark, he walked even closer, until his shoes touched my bare feet. His face was pulled down, eyes were intense in a way that thrilled me. I looked away while trying to fix my clothes. "I'm sorry about earlier, I wasn't expecting that to happen..." he said gently. My jaw clenched. "What should I expect from you? You don't remember anything," I said full of sarcasm. Silence stretched between us like a rope. He eyed me carefully, watching me frantically zipping my dress up. "Let me help you with that..." Before I could even protest, he already held my sh
"Fuck!" He groaned as he pumped in and out. "Zeki!" I mewled as I could feel the wetness flow from me and spread over his hand. I was so weak while feeling the pleasure his hands gave me. "Did my wife like that?" he asked sexily over my sensitive skin. I bit my lip. He continued rubbing my clit which was still covered with juices. I rolled over and pulled him closer to me, grasping his hair so tightly and pressing a hot kiss on the lips. Hungrily, passionately and erotically. I felt his mouth stretching wider than it should. He quickly answer my kisses, the heat slowly returning in my body. I riffled him over the bed and he surrendered willfully. Now, I'm in control of everything. His hand slowly rubbed my backside as I rode at the top of him. I freely stared at him while his face was plastered with a playful smirk. "You fucking turned my world around..." he said as he cupped my breast and massaged it not so gen
I sat straight and watched the buildings and establishments from the window. The people are busy, the sidewalk was almost filled with employees going home from work. Far from San Marcelino where you can sight the ocean almost everywhere. "Villa Rosa, ma'am?" he asks. I sighed and turned to him. "Yes, Mang Carding, please don't tell Mom and Dad that I'll be staying there tonight." He nodded at me and focused on driving. I faced the window again. The earlier full of buildings, establishments, and busy people slowly changed into trees and mountains. The dusk was clearer insight. The dull orange and peach skies seemed to give me sadness. I flinched when my phone rang. I got it from my bag and stared at the registered name. "Ellie..." I whispered. I bit down my lip and cancelled his call, but after a few seconds, he called again. I cancelled his call again, I was about to slide it back into my bag when I received a message f
