All Chapters of Bad Mistake [Her Sweetest Mistake]: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

My heart thumped, deafening me, and a prickling sensation crawled up my spine. The situation was eerie and all I wanted to do was leave. Whirling around, I double timed it toward the door. I had my foot outside but then I was stopped when someone grabbed my arms and kissed me.Thinking it was Everett, I used all my strength, struggling to escape. Pushing against his chest I tried gaining the upper hand, but he was much stronger than me. My heart was pounding as he held me tighter. Though I was terrified, ideas of horrible outcomes flashed in my mind, so I stopped fighting.I fell into a state of panic, barely able to breathe, but then I could see that this was Mr. Williams. As my vision adjusted to the outside streetlights, I realized it was really him who had hold of me and not his son."Why are you so scared?" he asked me, furrowing his brow. A wave of sadness hit me. Without control I began to cry. He rubbed my arms trying to calm me down. "It's okay, Mila." I couldn't stop the t

I was wondering who this person was. It was difficult to take my eyes off her; she had such classic beauty. She distracted me so much that I didn't notice when Mr. Williams came up behind me. Stepping to my left, he greeted her.Covertly, I checked to see if he was still aroused. Luckily, he wasn't. I didn't want this woman seeing something so tempting. Unless she already had."Hello, Lily. Good to see you. What have you brought for me tonight?" he asked, rubbing his hands together in anticipation."It's mint chocolate mousse.""Excellent," he said, taking it from her. "Would you like to come in?" he asked.I shot him a look, knowing full well that he didn't ever eat dessert when he came to our house. In fact, he hated it. Discreetly, I watched for any other changes in behavior to indicate whether he was interested in this woman."Oh, I won't be staying long," she said smiling at Everett, but it faded when she snapped her eyes to me."Before you go, tell me, how have you fared

Mr. Williams motioned for me to be quiet as he pulled on clothes. I nodded obediently, feeling disappointed to see his muscular body covered up. After pulling out a silk robe from his walk-in closet, he tied it over his pajamas walking to the door.Casually, he opened it and left. I listened intently, hoping to pick up on some of their conversation."Everett, what are you doing banging on my door? I was sleeping.""I need to talk to you. What does it sound like?" Everett bleated."It sounds like you're behaving entitled, just like we discussed," Mr. Williams had an edge to his voice as it became more commanding."This isn't entitlement. I have a real problem.""Then stop acting like a hoodlum and talk.""I'm not a hoodlum!" Everett exclaimed."I gave you a deadline to sort yourself out, but you haven’t followed through. Why don’t you do what I've asked?""I've tried. What more do you want from me?" Everett asked."I want you to get your life together. For one, stop drinking

Though I wanted to investigate, I realized I couldn't. If I made a sound up here, Everett might hear me. Sighing, I dropped back down on the bed, wondering how long they would be here. Maybe I could get some more sleep.The sound of cups and plates smashing on the floor shattered my serenity. Everett was shouting angrily. I could hear him all the way upstairs. He was so loud."She has been lying all this time. She was never a goody two-shoes!"The heavy door slammed, and I could hear his scuffling footsteps outside. Dashing to the window, I watched as Everett stormed out to the front yard. My mouth went dry as I pulled on my blouse nervously. I didn't like this kind of conflict, and it seemed like it was about me.My heart was racing as I fanned myself, trying to decide what to do. My stomach was in knots as I listened for Mr. Williams’ footsteps. When I heard nothing, I realized I had to go down there and see what happened.Cautiously, I walked down the stairs. Mr. Williams was

"Mila, what are you doing? You could have gotten yourself hurt!" Robert sounded exasperated through his labored breath. It wasn't until I saw his wide eyes that I became aware of my impropriety."I'm sorry," I said, my voice trembling from adrenaline."Who are you trying to follow?" he asked in a raised voice."I-I..." I trailed off, unable to come up with a white lie on the spot. My mind was hazy from adrenaline and my mouth was dry. I was glad when he didn’t press and instead opened the door to go back inside.The table Mr. Williams had been sitting at was the first one I saw. I shuddered with embarrassment. He could have interrupted our date just like he did before when Robert offered to take me to Mr. Adam. Why didn't he?My chest burned with frustration as I racked my brain about how to handle this. He was pulling me in so many directions with little information to go on. It was like a game to him it seemed.When we made our way to our table, my stomach churned as I saw the
