Bryce stared at her face. He married her because she was the first woman he had slept with. He could not bring himself to give his body to another woman. He didn't marry her out of love, or the fact that she fits anything of his but just because she was his first. He was also very much aware he was her first too. He had never had the urge to go to bed with her again after their first time in the club where he was drugged. He didn't have much memory of how it felt and to make things worse, aside from the fact that he was always occupied with either work or family stuff, they were sleeping in separate rooms. He felt different for the first time around her when she started getting nightmares and he was forced to share a bed with her. The other day, when he saw Angela with Bernard, he didn't like it. He didn't want Angela around Bernard and feeling the two may hook up again after work, he decided to take her home himself that day. He was angry and he reminded her of their contract. She c
"Angela?" Susan called out Angela's name."I am sorry," Angela apologizes snapping out of her moment.She lowered her head stepping out of the way to make way for Susan and Bryce to enter the office. Susan deliberately stepped on Angela's feet when she took a step in and when Angela reacted by taking a step back, Susan leaned to her side and fell to the floor."What was that for?" Susan barked at Angela who appeared confused wondering what happened. "First you beat up Eva in the elevator and you pushed me to the floor? What is wrong with you?" she questioned as she got up from the floor.Bryce remained silent as he was not sure what happened. He only saw Angela move back and next Susan falling to the floor. He made no attempt to save Susan from falling. He strode into his office and stood beside the table while Susan scolded Angela."Enough Susan," Bryce intervened. "Angela you can go. Susan, get seated and let's get to business," he added and Angela exited the office immediately. "M
"Do I make myself clear," Bryce questioned."Yes, Mr President," Susan acknowledged."Now sit down and let's talk about the main reason why I called you out of your office," Bryce said and Susan pulled the chair in front of his desk and sat on it.Bryce picked a file from his desk and handed it to Susan. She accepted it and opened the first page. Bryce began to ask her questions about the file in her hand which happens to be an employee's file. The employee had been offered a contract and Bryce was not aware of it. Susan went ahead to explain what happened and Bryce decided to let that slide too giving Susan a final warning not to use their friendship for her gain. "You can go now," Bryce dismissed and Susan left.Bryce picked up his phone and dialled Angela's extension."Angela come to my office now. When coming bring the movie script along with you," Bryce said."Yes, Mr President," Angela said before the call ended. In less than five minutes, Bryce heard a knock on his door and
"So how do we send Angela to Bryce's apartment?" Eva asked after thinking through the idea. "Bear in mind that, Angela always leaves the office before Bryce," she added and sat down behind her desk."You are right," Susan replied thinking it through."Wait, you can give her another task that will make her leave the office late like the last time," Eva suggested."No, I would end up in trouble with Bryce," Susan said and snapped her finger. "I have a better idea," she said and walked up to Eva.She leaned in and whispered something into Eva's ears. Eva's eyes widened listening to Susan."That sounds perfect. This would make her incur the wrath of two bosses," Eva said laughing. "Let me call him right away," she added and fetched her phone."Hello Aaron, I have a job for you. It would require you to have a near-death experience. Can you do it?" Eva asked."You want me to risk my life to get rid of this Angela girl?" Aaron asked."Yes," Eva replied. "What did this girl do to you ladies
Angela lifted her head a little and stared at Bryce's sleeping face. She felt happy waking up to find him still in bed. It was 5 am. "Are you going to lie there staring at my face," Bryce's voice deep husky voice travelled to Angela's eyes causing her to jolt."Er, sorry," Angela apologized and tried to get up but Bryce pulled her back, making her lay back on the bed.He turned around coming halfway on top of her. He stared at her face and Angela was not sure where to look. Her eyes kept looking everywhere but his face. "Look at me," Bryce said, his voice commanding yet gentle.Angela stopped her roaming eyes and slowly shifted them to his face. He stared at her face and Angela began to feel uncomfortable with the way he was staring at her. He leaned forward and kissed her lips."I am your husband, you don't have to be shy of me. This wouldn't be the first time we have slept together," he said, his voice very low and seductive.Angela nodded with her lash lowered. He kissed again be
Angela read the accusing look in the eyes of everyone gathered around the scene. Aaron was being attended to by the medical team on site."No, no. I didn't do anything. Why would I do that?" Angela said to Don."That is what I want to know. I was warned about you but I decided to give you a chance and you injured someone on set. When did you conceive your idea of revenge?" Don said to Angela in the presence of all."How can you say that?" Angela defended. "Someone is framing me up. I planned revenge and I waited for Aaron to offer me a plate of apples and a knife just so I could switch the knives. So what if Aaron didn't bring any knives on set?" she added."How sure are we that you did not bring a knife to the set? In this scene, the male lead's presence was supposed to be enough to scare the attacker away. You modified it and introduced the fight scene and the stabbing scene. Was it just to get back at Aaron for disrespecting you?" Don questioned."No, I only brought in the scene be
"I am listening?" Bryce said and Angela's head remained lowered. "Start talking. I don't have all day," he said raising his voice when Angela remained silent."I picked some portions of the movie script and gave it out to the characters the team had selected. During the cast selection, we allowed each team member to audition for the role. They all put their heart into it and the performance was amazing but we needed to still select people for the roles. So Don and I made the selections based on the outstanding performance where we looked at people who brought the characters to life in the most natural way," Angela began. "When we announced the results, Aaron Gregson was not happy I made him a standby support to the chosen male lead. He called me out and I don't know how he found out about my college education. He announced it in front of all. I defended myself to retain my respect. I later had a conversation with Mr Don and Aaron became the male lead for the movie," she went on. "An
Bryce left Don's office and headed for the office. He left behind a ride with two guards to take Angela home once she was done on set. Don also returned to the set and the shooting of the scenes continued but Aaron was resting in one of the rooms following his injury on set. Some offices came on the set but Don spoke with them and they left without speaking with any more. In the restroom, Aaron was lying on a bed shirtless with a bandage wrapped around his belly covering his wounded area. He was holding his phone in his hand typing away. Aaron typed. I demand you pay me extra. I was stabbed in my side on set today. Angela got framed for it but I am lying here in pain.Susan typed.I understand. You would be compensated for your work done. How serious is your injury?Aaron typedThe knife blade was not that long so the wound was not that deep but it still hurt. Susan typed.I would my doctor to tend to you so you recover quickly. I will send you the last payment to you once Angela
