Solane Panic rose in my chest as I could hear Marcello's footsteps approaching, my hands clutched the phone tightly not knowing where to hide it. My fingers brushed my hair backwards in fear, then mistakenly pressed the shower button, making the shower turn on, warm water splashed on me, worsening it.I got away from the water while my eyes darted to every corner of the bathroom, searching for an unnoticeable corner to hide the phone. Just when I saw his frame through the dim glass door an idea dropped in my mind, I grabbed the toilet paper on the bathroom shelf and wrapped the phone in it then hid it behind the toiletries.My heart was in my mouth as Marcello opened the door, stepped under the shower and hugged me from behind. I held my breath as he tilted his head on my neck. “That was so close.”I sucked in breath as I felt his grip tightened around me like I'm going to slip away if he didn't hold me tightly.******I could finally breathe after he exited the bathroom, I rested my

Marcello“Stay inside. No matter what you hear,you mustn't come out,” the familiar but vague voice of father commanded Marcella and I. Then we were kept hidden away in a wall cupboard that was a mimic to the wail painting, making it hard for people to notice.“Don't be scared. I will come get you two when this is over,” Enzo Jnr, my elder brother said, though the tremble in his voice betrayed the fear he refused to show.Marcella and I held hands together as the door was shut against us. It was dark inside the cupboard and only our breath could be held except for the faint sound of gunshot which made us shake in fear.Despite being a Mafia child, Father didn't expose us to his world early because he wanted us to have the best childhood like other children. Though we were aware of what he does, he made sure that we don't get entangled in violence.Marcella, my twin sister, had always acted like the older one, even though I was the first to enter the world. Even in that tiny cupboard sh

Solane I stood up sultryly, letting my hands trail his body seductively, feeling every reaction going through his body. My lips met his again, letting him taste himself as our lips engaged in a rough movement, gliding, and sucking until we both gasped for breath.The hungry desire in Marcello's eyes was unmistakable, he held me so tightly, hands all over my body, smooching my ass while he seeks to have a taste for my lips but I have more on my sleeve than just kiss.A wide smile played on my lips, as I pulled him by the hand, making him to stand up from the table, pulling him by the hand then with a little push, he fell back into the armchair behind his table.I locked my gaze with his as I left my hands trail my body, moving with precision as they caressed my cupped breast, a soft gasp escaped my lips as my own touch ignited sparkles all through. His eyes narrowed immediately, darkened and filled with desire, following every move of my hand over my body.My hand slid down to my wais

Solane.I smirked against Marcello's lips before breaking the kiss as both of us stared at each other, ignoring everything else like it doesn't matter. I almost laughed outside when I recalled what Tonia did an hour ago. “What's funny?” He asked with a furrowed brow as he brushed my lips with his thumb.I shook my head slightly, my lips straightened into a smile, “Nothing…Just this, there's this feeling that excites me just by your intoxicating lips,” I said, tracing my finger along his jaw.He smirked. I cupped the side of his face, bringing his head back to mine again. My lips move against his with precision, sucking and biting his button lips and also sliding my tongue off his mouth. I could feel him relaxed under my touch which only meant that his anger had dissipated.Air pumped through my parted lips, my chest rising and falling at the brief kiss. My hand pressed against his thighs as he pulled me into another round of kisses, his lips taking every inch of my mouth.I smiled in

Marcello I left home quite early and had forgotten a very important document at home. I took a U-turn and headed back home. On getting home, I pushed the door open then made my way into the house when I saw Solane and Tonia at the edge of the staircase.I couldn't hear whatever they were saying but Tonia was laughing while Solane wasn't smiling. I knew it might not be possible for both of them to get along but not to the extent that they would harm each other I had thought but I was proven otherwise when I saw Tonia fall back, roll down the stairs and pass out.I didn't know when I screamed her name as I rushed to her side, my heart beating very fast. ‘Why would Solane do such a cruel thing?’ I thought internally.“What did you do, Solane?” I yelled in anger.“I didn't do that,” She whimpered, hurrying to where Tonia lay unconscious.I knelt beside Tonia drawing her into my arms, then held her wrist to check her pulse which was beating and I felt relieved but was also concerned that

Solane My chest tightened as the scene unfold before my eyes. I almost smirked when Nonnetta spoke about the wedding plan for Marcello and Tonia.Marcello must think I would let him live happily after he murdered my father and kept treating me like I am his sex toy and likewise Tonia who had always made it known that she detest me.“Isn't that too early?” Marcello asked, his brow furrowed slightly.Nonnetta's lips curled into a smile, “It wouldn't be rushed, the wedding would comprise of the necessary steps which we would follow accordingly and I'm sure Tonia's mum would agree to this,” she said, gently.“So Tonia, inform your parents that I'm inviting them to dinner this Friday. Make them clear their schedules and I'm sure they would,” she continued, her voice leaving no room for argument.Tonia beamed with smiles, “I will, Nonnetta,” she answered, brightly.“The preparations will start a day after the dinner. It's going to be an amusing experience for you both. What do you think, M

CRYSTAL “Major shareholder?” I muttered, my eyes darting from the man to Jack, who didn't look surprised to see me.Jack's eyes were on me, a low smirk played on his lips. “Welcome on board, Crystal,” he said, extending his hand for a handshake.I was still dumpfolded. I wasn't just expecting to see Jack here and he wasn't just here, he is a freaking shareholder which made me suspect that he might have been the one who made sure I am on this new project. The idea of working with someone who was interested in me in the past didn't sit well with me, not after Drake's incident happened.“I wasn't expecting to see you here, I thought you only deal in the materials not art itself,” I said, taking my hand into his in a handshake.“Well, you shouldn't seem surprised because I'm now more interested in the art itself than ever,” he said, his gaze steady on mine. “And the artist behind the art.”My brows arched slightly.“To ensure that there's good art that would pull the market,” he added, f

CRYSTAL Jaden was still fast asleep when I rose up from the bed, and walked quietly into the bathroom. I took a quick look at him as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, he didn't even stir except for the gentle rise and fall of his chest. He seemed so tired from the sex, I yawned slightly but then I prepared for my new work. I knew I was supposed to let him know that I had accepted it but I didn't get the right time to break the news to him. I applied my makeup and wore my clothes and soon, I was all set and was about to leave when Jaden's eyelashes fluttered slightly. “Hey babe,” I said, my lips curved into a small smile as I walked towards the bed, bending to place a kiss on his lips. “Good morning.”“Morning,” he replied, sitting up. “You are all dressed? I thought we agreed that we are going to stay indoors today.”“Babe! I don't think I remember agreeing to that,” I said, arching a teasing brow. He arched his brow while the edge of his lips curved, “Really?”“Yes. I only

CRYSTAL My toes curled, his mouth left my cunt, leaving traces of kisses from my cunt to my stomach then his lips stopped on my cleavage. He worked his mouth to my breast, pulling my nipple into a kiss, this time around, slow and torturing.The heat of his mouth washed over my right nipple while his left hand hovered round my left nipple, teasing the little bud sending shivers down my spine.“I can never get enough of you, babe,” he murmured, his voice thick with need, pressing his body harder against mine as his other hand traced my thighs.He thrusted three fingers into my wet cunt making my back arch against him as our body rhythmed as they he fingered me. I came in a sharp breath, my fingers dug into his arm holding him firm for support.Another moan tore through my throat, as he replaced his finger with his cock, hitting every corner of my womb,my body pulling forward at every thrust. The creaky sound of the sofa moving beneath us filled the air as Jaden held my two hands and cu

CRYSTAL “Yes,” I said, my breath shallowed as my grip tightened against the sofa. “Oh…God!!”Jaden shook his head, a small smirk played on his lips as he stood up and hovered over me, “I don't think so,” he said, lowering his head into my neck.“You don't look like you are ready to take me,” he said, staring at me with softened eyes. “I'm afraid you won't be able to walk after I'm done with you tonight.”Heat crept to my cheeks as his words seemed to do something in me. I wanted him to but I have no idea how far he's going to bury himself in me. I knew Jaden has always been good in bed, but still what he said just now made heat flow through my body.“I can't wait to experience what you have in store for me,” I confessed, my breath hitched at the thought of his touch.“Are you sure?” he asked with a worried smile.“Mmmm,” I replied, my hands circling around his neck, pulling him into a kiss, showing him that I was ready for anything he would do.My lips hovered over his, stroking, and

CRYSTAL The butterflies in my stomach were dancing and I couldn't contain my excitement. Jaden's right hand didn't leave mine while the other was on the steering all through our ride home.Although I planned on informing him about the job offer he didn't want me to take and wished I did. I couldn't bring it up because of the proposal, which made a wide smile plastered on my face each time my gaze fell on my hand, beholding the shining diamond ring and each time Jaden turned to me, I suddenly became shy. I have waited long for this and thought he wouldn't pop the question and now that he did, made me feel that I was falling in love with him again.As soon as we stepped into the house, Jaden couldn't wait but pushed me against the wall gently, tilting his head and crashing his lips on mine. For a moment the world stilled.Jaden's hand slided down my body, feeling every curve of my body as if he needed to know each inch of me just to believe I was really there. My hands were pressed aga

CRYSTAL My first day at work after being away from work was filled with laughter, I couldn't miss this place more. My colleagues and I sat at the center of the cafeteria, catching up with what I had missed while I was away.“We are dating,” Richard said, proudly, holding Sharon's hand that was on the table.My eyes widened in surprise, “Oh … my, Congratulations to you both,” I said,“Thank you, Miss,” they both said “There's something you need to know,” Clara said, keeping her voice low. “Maya came back but she isn't on our team. Rumor had it that her father was disappointed at her after she embarrassed herself in a party where she confessed that she loved Mr Zenor.”I remembered that party, Jaden had turned her down outrightly that night.“Her father had wanted her to marry Mr Zenor,” Richard said, irritation laced in his voice.Sharon sipped her drink, “Who forces their child into a relationship these days?” She commented.“Boss turning her down, made me see him in a better light.
