I had groaned a weak 'yes' like the weak person I was.

What would he gain by doing this? Why me? Why would he think that I was the perfect candidate to make his ex jealous? And his ex! Don't get me started on his ex. Why would she tell him straight to the face that I had convinced her not to marry him?

I walked down the rocky path shivering as the harsh Newyork breeze hit my bare forearms without warning. It was a really bad day to wear a sleeveless dress. It was even stupid of me to try and meddle with what clearly didn't concern me. Now what?

Niklaus Rogers! Damn, him! I hated him! I wish he never came back. I wish Jenny Rogers was my boss and right about now I would be at work thinking of how I'd walk my dog later in the park. Good hands, she had said.

Only, Niklaus Rogers wasn't good. He was bad, good at the same time so villainy. It was hard to read him. It was hard to know what he thought, what he liked, who he was on the inside if he even had some sort of heart inside.

    One simple mistake. Scared of having the same nightmares and I somehow snapped. Like a mad man, I had reset the plan based on my emotions. Emotions of trying to seek redemption and emotions of gnawing guilt.On one hand was Isadora. The woman who my heart would gladly love. The woman who I had planned to marry and then make her life a living hell. Well that was until her father would lament his actions and then I would try to make our marriage more real and important, probably have two to three kids with her later. Isadora was my ideal woman, smart, brilliant, witty, obedient, had a body that most men would kill for, her being in love with me was an added bonus.And plus having had time to reflect on my past actions, I was selfish at that time. Running away as some sort of rebellion at my dad. Turns out my rebellion did end up being his death! But now Niklaus Rogers had matured both mentally and emotionally. On the other hand was her, Eleanor. The plan was to make her fall for me. Ma

    "Can I take your things, ma'am?" Martin asked and I nodded.It was weird being in his house, more so staying in his house without my dog, Oggie to keep me company. I left Oggie back at Mrs Chang's hoping that he would be better off there. I couldn't just bring him with me. Who knows, maybe Niklaus had an allergy to dogs or maybe he didn't even like dogs."Martin will show you around,"Niklaus turned to speak to me disappearing upstairs to what I'd call his room.God, how would I manage to do this? What possessed me to even agree to him? My thoughts were in disarray, the unfamiliar environment was overwhelming, it was only after Martin calmed me down that I somehow embraced the whole beauty of the house."And this is the kitchen,"Martin smiled and I went to the huge fridge opening it and gazing at the different types of foods. Cheese, a lot of greens like lettuce, asparagus, broccoli, cucumbers, eggplants, kales and worse of all cauliflower. I hated cauliflower. Next to the greens was t

    "This one would look good on you,"Paris complimented and I rolled my eyes.Eleanor twirled admiring the sequin dress and truth be told, the dress was a little sloppy. I wasn't good with women's clothing so the fact that I missed an important meeting to be here beat me. Her worried doe eyes made me stay yesterday. She didn't beg but I could see her uneasiness yesterday, how she fidgeted her fingers, how her thoughts travelled away when I told her to look good for Blaze's Charity Gala.I was here because I knew Martin couldn't handle everything alone. That he couldn't handle her. Her attitude, her curiosity. Like the good man I was I offered to help and I was immediately regretting it. It was either the dresses weren't fitting her or either she didn't like the dress or either Paris and her compatriots thought that the dress didn't represent Niklaus Rogers' girlfriend soon to be fiance very well.I didn't want to contradict her on the 'fiance' part. I hoped it wouldn't reach there. That

    "Wait you can't leave me here with her-" I desperately called and Niklaus blindly ignored me disappearing into the crowd."Eleanor!" Isadora called and I turned around wiping a disastrous smile."Isadora"The blue dress she had on hugged her curves perfectly. The red lipstick she has on shimmered against the lights. Her heels? Damn, I thought my heels were killer but hers? They must have cost her a fortune! "Fancy seeing you here. You are with Klaus?" She asked taking a glass of champagne from the the waiter passing by."Yeah. I mean we came together,"I tried playing dumb. Pretending that I only accompanied my boss not my boyfriend."As his assistant?"she asked and I took a huge gulp of water."Y-yes""Thank God. For a moment there I thought that you two were...a thing! Sorry, people have been talking and getting to my head but of course you don't love him. You said it yourself he is not the right man. For anybody"And guilt quickly ate me from the inside. I was a terrible person w

    He caressed my hair so gently and I grabbed his shoulders tightly not wanting to let go. Only after seeing the black stains on his shirt did I part from the hug taking a step back."I-i'm sorry for everything. F-for the mess on the shirt"He stared at his chest, the realisation that I had ruined his shirt dawning on him."Don't fret over it. Are you okay?""I am,"I lied."Let's do this again. Hey Elen, are you okay?"I hesitated. He could see right through me. I wasn't okay. Not at all."Am not, John. Everything- everything is hard. I can't. I can't take it,"I said wiping my tears with the back of my hand as fast as they came."I get it, Elle, there's no pressure in telling me what happened. Let's get you home"But I didn't want to go home. I didn't want to his face. I didn't want to face him. Not now. Not after everything he had done."I know it's too much to ask. But anywhere-take me anywhere but home"He removed his coat wrapping it around my shoulders before he took my hand, usher

    She excused herself to go to the bathroom. Was it soon? Did I break the news too soon? But we had agreed on this hadn't we? Sooner or later I would have had to introduce her to the world so that everyone including Isadora could know we were dating right?I hated the guilt I felt everytime I hurt her. I failed her years ago, two decades later I was still failing her. She had taken a whole lot of minutes in the bathroom and I was starting to get worried. Blaze told me to give her some space, that she might have had something going on with her 'periods' .Did women faint when it was their time of their month? Or did they faint when they were pregnant? I mean I hadn't seen Drizella faint back when we were kids when she was on her month, what made Elle any different?"Congratulations Rogers, the girl is a gem,"Mr Jones patted my back and I smiled back with a thanks."A gem indeed" Isadora spoke right after Mr Jones left."Thank you. I'm glad you see it too. That she's a rare gem in my life

    "She refused the food, sir,"Chica came into my study room for the second time.She hadn't talked to me since we arrived home last night. And like a child she had locked herself up in the guest room allowing only 'her friends' in the room. Drama. I hated drama and she unlike the women I had met in my life, had a lot of drama. Kenny, the division's manager had called me to check whether I had the dossier for the Mill project. I had perused every document in my study room and yet not a single sight of the document. I needed a secretary asap. With Eleanor now my girlfriend, I needed a secretary as efficient as she was otherwise no work would be done for the past couple of weeks.I didn't like taking a day off from work. To me, missing work was the end of Rogers Co. Mario wasn't capable of running the place and Drizella had it in her to run the place but she could always be distracted by anything. Which is why me missing work today, had me on edge.I had stayed home to take care of her an

    "You've worked for Mrs Jenna right? No problem there. Ms Drizella, however, you'll have to impress. Compliment her clothes, say her nails look good and as for Mr Mario just smile at everything he says no matter how yuckish it is,"Martin suggested and the girls nodded.I was practically biting my nails thinking of how I would face them at once. But I had worked for them right? How hard was it to sit down and have a nice good meal with them? I was feeling a little bit better after eating both breakfast and lunch courtesy of Niklaus. But that didn't mean I hated him a little less.The dress that Niklaus bought for me fit perfectly. It was a knee length casual grey shirt dress with long sleeves. The long sleeves covered the bruises that were healing nicely. I appreciated that he went through the extent of getting me something nice for dinner.I stood at the foot of the staircase, Fey pumping me up that I could do it while I waited for Niklaus to be done."And if anyone tries to attack you

    Epilogue"I really think we should stop!",Elle shrieked with laughter her hands trying to push me away.My hands cornered on my very desk as I gazed at her beauty. Eight years of marriage and three kids and she still looked the same to me."Do you really want me to stop?"I smirked tapping my fingers from her knee down down down her thigh.It was her fault anyway for coming to me dressed in that. She knew how much that dress was a turn on for me. I wanted nothing but to rip it off."Y-yes oooooh",she gasped the moment I ran my fingers at the outline of her panties."You should... should stop",her eyes stared at me,"remember last time we tried to make love in your office", she warned.My smile turned wicked. How could I forget. How could I forget the way everyone looked at me when I entered the conference room. I simply I had no words.What was a guy to do when our top most clients heard Elle and I moaning over the microphone?It was safe to say that that was the most embarrassing moment

    Good bye.I had watched blood drain from her face the instant I said that.Did I mean it though? I wish I did. I wish I ripped her out of my heart and this madness would end right there and then.I wish I wouldn't be so worried about how she was doing, about how she was. But what's done is done, there was no point of going back to the past.Letting go was a hard thing to do but it was for the best, for me and for her. I loved her, I loved her since we were kids that wouldn't change and even if I fell in love with someone else I think a part of me would always love Elle.She was my first love after all.On a casual Wednesday morning, I was in my office preparing for a meeting. I would fly to the Philippines next week to visit Mario and help him out with some of the issues he had been trying to handle himself.Drizella was quick to inform me that Mario had some issues but he was trying to be the big boy, trying to handle everything by himself so that he could not ask me for help.I coul

    He stoked a fire in me, he brought the other wild side of me. My body responded to his touch and my heart ooh my heart turned to jello the very instant he murmured my name like a Benediction.And when he kept on repeating the words 'I love you' with no shame hell I felt loved and God knows I wanted to say 'I love you too'.As I watched him sleep, his naked chest glistening against the morning's sunlight I realised I had feelings for this man. I thought I buried these feelings deep inside but here I was smiling amusedly at how handsome he looked while he was asleep.I didn't regret yesterday at the very least. I was supposed to but I didn't.Deep down when I imagined sex, Niklaus was the only man I was having sex with and not Rocco. I loved Rocco. I used to love Rocco but after everything that transpired yesterday that love seemed to simmer down quickly than steam.Was it possible to love two guys at the same time?With Rocco, he was the perfect man and I guess that's what I was lookin

    The light clearly starting to peer through the room made my eyes flutter open.I would have loved to stay in bed all day, to sleep with her all day. Yesterday was- I had always imagined us but yesterday couldn't compare to my day dreams.It was like in a moment, I was in heaven. In a dream even.When I saw the fear in her eyes yesterday as I tugged on the lace of her panties, I sure as hell knew that she hadn't slept with Rocco.And like a fool, I found myself grinning at that. I was the only supposed to touch her, I was the only supposed to be inside her.Once my head came to the conclusion that she was still a virgin, I tried my best not to ravish her immediately. I tried my best to be in control, to not be a caveman, to make sure that the night was perfect.To inscribe that night on her mind forever. And when I was inside of her, feeling her walls convulse around me, I wanted nothing but to come so hard.I restrained myself, I wanted her to reach her orgasm first. For her to have t

    After Rocco left me to sleep, I sat on my bed frustratedly. I simply couldn't wait for Isadora and Daniel's wedding to push through and I would leave home.I loved home, I really do but things were changing too fast. Rocco was changing too and I didn't like it one bit.I was bored infact that I started following the patterns on my floral pillows. Few minutes later, the pounding on the door grabbed my intention.The door suddenly opened and Issa popped her head in,"Can I come in?" She asked."Well your head is already in you might as well welcome your body in too", I humored.She trudged to my bed and carefully sat by the bedside. Then she narrowed her eyes at me her lips curling into a smile,"What?" I asked after a minute of piercing silence."Am just trying to figure out why you are mad and who you are mad at"What sort of question was that."You know very well why am mad. You all kept secrets from me. You know I hate secrets and am mad at all of you""It wasn't our secret to share

    "I think we are done for today, don't you think?" I grunted pushing the abdominal roller away.Ava sat on the mat looking rather disappointed and although I didn't want to intervene in her personal matters, I felt the need to.Since I went back for the equipment she had been acting strangely...well she did act strangely at times but she wasn't quite herself today.I sat on the mat next to her, my hands on my knees as I stared at her,"So...how was the date?"She rolled her eyes and I chuckled."That bad huh?" I asked.She quirked a brow turning her head so that we could be at a level with her."He lives with his mom",she grumbled."And that's bad because?""Are you seriously asking me that? He's a gamer, spends all his time playing videogames in his parents' basement. And before you ask, yes he told me all that""Atleast he is honest", I joked,"I mean he did come clean about his living situation""He is not my type, Niklaus. I just don't understand why all men can't be like you",she j

    Jealousy. Google described jealousy as the feeling or showing an envious resentment of someone or their achievements, possessions, or perceived advantages.I didn't know her nor of her achievements and possessions so there was no way I was jealous even though it took a couple of minutes for them to remember my presence in the room.After they parted from the hug, Niklaus turned to me paving way for me to get a glimpse of Ava clearly. She had an oval face, full lips, black hair that was tied up in a ponytail and don't get me started on her body. She was a ten over ten.I suspected she wasn't any of Niklaus' relatives otherwise I would have met her. And it really got me thinking how she got inside the house since there was a code to unlock the doors, unless she knew the code."Ava, this is-"I cut Niklaus off."I'm Isabella, nice to meet you", I greeted."You didn't tell me about her",Ava slapped his chest slightly and Niklaus laughed. He laughed.A whole thunderous chuckle when he was

    He was so irritating. I felt like smacking that smug of his face the minute he said 'I was his'.Just who did he think he was, he was crazy if he thought that I would kiss him in an instant. And dad! Ooh I was so mad at dad.Since when did he start liking Niklaus. They hated each other, well atleast I thought so. I trudged down the hallway remembering each room by heart.I remembered my old bedroom and just down the hall to the left was his room.The very same room where we lay together in each other's arms watching Stranger things. I found myself smiling recalling how he would ask what was so special with 'Steve Harrington'. Steve Harrington was everything to the female population. He was hot, funny and whoo don't get me started on his hair.I stood just outside my old room turning the knob and opening the door. Not only was the room clean but it was the same. As if I never left in the first place, I walked in closing the door behind me.The same vanity table, the same purple sheets

    I cringed feeling her tear up on my chest. I knew she would be stubborn but I hadn't expected her to cry. I expected her to hit me, to hurt me but not to cry.Though she did hurt me, I could feel the metallic taste of fresh blood on my mouth and my cheek was numb.She was really strong than she imagined.I run my fingers in her hair, feeling it's silkiness. She sniffled only to step away from me as if my touch was burning her."No",she wiped the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand,"this isn't right"It's right, baby. Everything between us feels right. I haven't felt this way since you left.I wanted to tell her, to scoop her in my arms and tell her everything on my mind.Her eyes rose to meet mine and for a brief moment, I saw her gasp lightly."I did that?"She pointed to my face only then did I remember the little cut on my lip."It's not your fault. Don't mind it, I sort of deserved it", I chuckled trying to make her feel less guilty."Am not a monster like you, Niklaus.
