“So, what do you say red? Would you be my assistant?”
Liam asked.
We were outside his private suite, in his hangout spot. While the others, were inside.
I fidgeted my hands, nervously looking the other way, as I searched for words.
“You’re not doing this from your liking of me, are you?” I sprung out accusingly.
He looked at me with an astonished look written all over his facial expression.
“Why would you think that?”
“What am I supposed to think, Liam? I mean, I can barely keep my job…Talk less of being the assistant of a famous billionaire…”
“Red…”
“What if I screw it up?”
“Red, listen…”
“I could make a mistake and ruin it all, I’m not fit enough for you, Liam. I’m—”
His lips suddenly enjoined with mine.
W-What?
I to
“I don’t f*ck virgins, red.”I wriggled my eyebrows, narrowing my eyes at his words. I mean, we were in this intimate position, and he had just muttered absurd.I tugged him to get off, making my way to stand up tangled, only for him to pin me back down.“What do you mean?”I asked him immediately, feeling a twinge of unsureness and humiliation.My eyes directed to his hardened c*ck, before taking a large gulp.“Sorry, that came out in a way I didn’t intend it to…”“What I meant to say was that I’ve never been with a virgin, red.” he stated, apologetically.In relief, I sighed, staring into his amazing green orb eyes.“Oh silly, you totally scared me…”“Come here,” I added frantically, kissing him.His hands slowly gripped my chin.“Never do that again.”I sighed.
Eleanor’s PovWaking up in Liam James’ bed the next day was sort of weird. I mean, if anyone had told me that this was going to happen, I definitely would have ignored it and marked it off my list.It was more like a fantasy; one that I never thought I’d wake up from.A ringing sound suddenly jingled my lovey-dovey thoughts away.Seemed like reality had taken more of the fantasy.And we were far from being asleep, because natural causes would always wake us up.“Dammit,”I looked towards the place the sound came from, 9immediately. It wasn’t my ringtone. Which meant, it was definitely Liam’s. And he was fast asleep, cuddling me so tenderly without even considering or bulging to reach for it.“Get that… would you?”I mouthed off, sleepily.I stretched my hands
Eleanor’s PovThe rest of the day, as being his assistant, was all formal. Though we could feel the heated state, radiate in the atmosphere, neither of us made a move to actually say something to the other.I was barely keeping up with this, because I knew I needed the money.Badly.Without it, I wouldn’t be able to pay up any of my bills.And I would simply be on the streets.Which could be scary.This was why I didn’t make any move to break down.But the instant the day’s work was over, I found myself following the same trail once more.Meekly, I walked home specially to punish myself.As I walked, various flashbacks of the past replayed.The instances Boss Liam had helped me, in spite of my overbearing behavior towards him.While we were back at Mexico. Of how his green orb eyes had look
“M-My father?”I muttered after him, dusting off my skirt.“Yes, dear.” he remarked.I remembered mum saying something about him.Of how I was abandoned since I was an illegitimate child.I tilted my mouth, pressing my lips in a firm frown.“How charitable, Mr. Reyes. Why would you want me now, when you never did?”I rolled my eyes, hissing loudly with an attempt to walk away. A nudged around my hands instantly. While I glared at him, he stated,“I don’t know what you heard, child. But I never even knew you existed.”I swallowed, with my eyes batting off tears.Seemed like I was getting really emotional, these days.“You’re lying,”“You think I am? Then why don’t we ask Melanie?” he said, referring to my mum.“Don’t you dare call her name like you cared in the first plac
“A shot of vodka, please.”I said, wondering why one bad thing or the other had to always happen to me.While I walked out of the house, Mr. Reyes tried to talk to me, but I didn’t even feel like speaking to anyone.Not at all.I felt like shit and didn’t even know what to do.My mouth tasted in displeasure when he gave me his business card. I put it in my purse, walking to Orange Summers, the only place that seemed to understand me.“And one too, for me.”A familiar low baritone voice, lurked in surprisingly behind me. I looked behind me, only to see Liam clothed in his usual black expensive suit, looking as handsome and gorgeous as ever.He settled on a chair just beside me.I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.“Liam, what are you doing here?”I asked, with a sigh, almost cringing in distress. A look of worry was plastered on my fa
My thoughts were scrambled with yesterday’s incidence the minute I woke up. I remembered drinking to forget it all, but now… I wanted to sleep once more not to even think of it. Mum’s betrayal. Liam’s words about Mr. Reyes. Did she do it to protect me, like she said? Suddenly, flashbacks of last night spinned in my head. “I had a shitty day, Liam. Please make love to me,” Oh no… “We aren’t even in a relationship anymore, remember?” He had tried convincing me out of it, but I still shamelessly pushed on. “I was overshadowed by my own countenance and wishful thinking, for that I’m sorry,” “Now fuck me,” My eyes widened at my words, with my toes entangling each other. It was no wonder I felt sore in between my legs. We did make love last night, for the second time. And we did it countlessly, till we were exhausted. I hope he didn’t wake up.
“It isn’t funny that your dad, a rich billionaire suddenly wants you back?” Chloe’s words reminisced my head. “Nope…I mean my mum lied to me, Chloe. And I, um…don’t even know if I should be trusting her again.” “Why not, she’s your mum. You should know the type of person she is by now, Eleanor.” “Don’t let some stranger, who was never present ruin that nice relationship between you both. She might not have given you the comfortable life but you turned out right,” She had stated. “I mean, look at you girl. You’re a survivor. As Nikki Fox, the world hated on you but you’re still going.” “What am I going to do, Clo?” Almost at the verge of tears, I had asked. “Talk to your mum, it would make more sense if everyone’s on your side, bestie. We have to bring Mr. Reyes down, if there’s some truth in Liam James’ words.” I jeered back to reality, holding my bag as I walked meekly. Th
Liam James’ Pov Eleanor. We are so close to finding the answer. The proof to bringing Mr. Reyes down. Please stay put. Keep fighting, like the strong woman you are. Every instant, as time passed, I could tell red was in trouble. Mr Reyes, was someone highly dangerous. And, I had to take caution when dealing with him. Since he was in town, it was so much better. I would be able to keep tabs on his business back in Mexico, and his intentions with red. I needed to know why he’d suddenly show up after all the years, to ruin her life. What exactly did he even want from her? “Solomon,” I stated, after dialing my ex-assistant’s number. He had been the one helping me all this while, to find out clues to bring Reyes down. Even though he wasn’t my assistant anymore, I called him from time-to-time. Seemed l
