He narrated, but surpri
Chapter 24Alice's POV"No, Alex," I said, exasperated but trying not to laugh. "The video says stir-fry with oil, not water."Alex shrugged, looking completely unfazed. "Couldn't find any oil, so I thought water would do the trick."I groaned and almost facepalmed as I surveyed the bubbling mess in front of us. It had been a good thirty minutes since we'd started cooking, but somehow, we'd only managed to create a disaster. I'd looked up a simple recipe for jollof pasta online, and we were at the part where you're supposed to fry the tomatoes with spices to bring out the flavor. But Alex, as charming as he was, had thrown in water instead, effectively sabotaging the whole thing."You might actually be worse at this than I am," I teased, half-laughing."Oh? And here I thought I was good at everything," he shot back with a grin.I planted my hands on my hips, staring at the pan and wondering how I was going to fix this. "Maybe if we just… add oil now?" I said, mostly to myself.Alex pe
Chapter 23Alex's POVSaturday. No work, no meetings—just a rare day to relax and finally have her all to myself. I woke up, stretching my arm across the empty bed beside me. A pang of disappointment hit me when I realized she wasn't there. Where could she have gone so early?After a quick wash, I headed out, hoping to find her somewhere in the house. I'd given all the staff the day off, so we were completely alone—i wanted to have her all to myself for the whole day.Just as I stepped out of our bedroom, I saw her bounding up the stairs, her eyes bright and energized. She wore a fitted T-shirt and tights, looking effortlessly beautiful and, judging by her attire, ready for a workout.I walked toward her, reaching out to pull her into my arms. She laughed, letting herself melt into my embrace, her warmth easing the remnants of sleep from my body."How was your night?" I asked, enjoying the feeling of her so close."Never been better," she replied with a grin that made my heart skip.I
Chapter 23{Warning: This chapter contains mature content not meant for Young readers}Alice's pov my pussy clenched with anticipation from his words...why was I so turned on from just a simple kiss, yeah..he was a good kisser, but that wasn't all.I felt an incomprehensible strong attraction to this man, his touches made me weak to the knees, like they were igniting an unquenchable and unbearable thirst for something more.I could feel my pants were already soaked from my arousal, common girl, you just had sex for the first time today and you're already acting like it's something you've done your whole life."Can't wait love" I replied in a whisper, my breath hitched...I actually just called him 'love', i really was desperate."Fuck, that sounded so sexy coming from you" he said before kissing me again, this time, rough and filled with lust.His kisses were deep, I kissed him back with equal intensity...all I wanted right now was to feel his cock inside my pussy.My clit was swolle
Chapter 22Alex's POV"Alice, we need to talk," I said, keeping my voice steady, though inside, my heart was pounding hard. Nerves tightened every muscle, every thought in my head felt scrambled. I didn't understand why I felt this way, why she alone had the power to unravel me so completely. Me, Alex, who had lived through fire and blood, felt stripped bare in front of this one woman.Since the moment I met her, she had a hold on me, one I wasn't sure I even wanted to break free from."Alex, let me… I… I want to say something to you too," she replied, her voice soft, almost hesitant."Okay, you go first," I said, my heart thundering in my chest as a thousand scenarios flooded my mind. Was she about to end this, draw a line between us? Had she already begun to regret this tangled, uncertain path we'd chosen?"I'm sorry for what I said earlier," she began, her voice barely a whisper. I froze, the words hanging heavy between us. She was apologizing, but why? My heart pounded so loudly I
Chapter 21Alice's POVAfter taking a shower in his bathroom, I slipped into his bathrobe, letting the warmth linger on my skin as I inhaled his scent, It felt like i was still in his arm, I then hurried out of his room back to my room. I didn't say a word to him. I knew my earlier words must have upset him, and honestly, they felt out of line. Why couldn't I just admit I liked him? Was it because I still had doubts about Greta, or was it because the sex we just had was so mind blowing that I suddenly thought of all the women he had slept with and how he made them scream his name in bed Sophia's words kept playing in my head, yeah I admit, I am a jealous freak...I can't stand the thoughts of other women laying their filthy hands on my man or having his dick stuck in their filthy pussies.I was also mad at myself for being an overthinker and I was sure I would have to eventually give him a clear explanation...my words earlier made me sound like a whore, but I don't mind becoming a who

I asked, my chest heaving as we both gasped for breath"No... its just that, we are still in the hallway" she said in a low voice, her face visibly flushedI chuckled from her words"So, Should we continue from where we stopped once we are back inside?" I te
Chapter 19Alice's POVI waited in the car, my heart hammering as I watched Alex walk toward the vehicle that had been following us. Everything was still, yet my pulse raced with a tension I couldn't ignore. I tried to tell myself it was nothing—that it was probably a misunderstanding. But something deep down told me this was no coincidence.Just then, the car door swung open, and out stepped a tall, slender blonde dressed in a fitted shirt, sleek trousers, and combat boots. She was striking, her movements filled with an easy confidence that unsettled me. I watched in disbelief as her eyes lit up at the sight of Alex, and before I knew it, she was rushing toward him with a delighted squeal, her arms wrapping around his neck as she pulled him into an embrace.A sharp pang of jealousy hit me so hard it was almost dizzying. Who the hell was she? And why was she hugging him like they were something more than friends? My stomach twisted as I watched them, her laughter mingling with his, to
Chapter 18Alex's POVWhen I heard the tremble in Alice's voice over the phone, panic gripped me. Her words were shaky, her breaths coming unevenly, and the storm outside roared even louder. I barely took a second to excuse myself, rushing out of the meeting room without a backward glance at the puzzled executives. Questions murmured behind me, but I ignored them, only one thought pulsing through my mind: I had to get to her.I raced down the hallway, not caring about the concerned stares as I reached my car. The rain had turned into a full-blown storm, sheets of water pouring down as I sped through the streets, my heart racing almost as wildly as the windshield wipers. I hardly noticed the honks and headlights flashing at me as I wove through traffic, urgency pushing me to get there faster.Minutes later, I arrived at the LN Group building, barely bothering to check my speed as I parked and bolted inside, rain soaking through my jacket. I took the elevator up to the 24th floor, not e
