ALARM ****I offed the annoying alarm clock and groaned while getting up from my bed, I rubbed my eyes while yawning and walked towards my washroom. I can hear my mom moving dishes and I can hear her cooking something in the kitchen as I was walking to my washroom. I brushed my teeth and took a cold shower, wrapping my favorite white fluffy towel around my body. I walked out of my washroom and walked straight into my walk-in closet. I got dressed in my baby pink deep V-neck pencil dress cinched at the waist with a statement belt and combed my hair while applying some makeup to my face. I looked at my reflection and smiled when I felt I looked good.I took my things and walked downstairs, as I walked downstairs I noticed Sofia helping my mom place breakfast on the table, “Sofia!” I called in surprise to see her. Mom gave her off for two days and it’s been only 24 hours and she’s back to work.She looked at me while laughing at me warmly, “You didn’t take off?” I asked while walking tow
CLARRISA'S POV.I glanced at Lillian and saw her looking at me with a terrified expression on her face, my eyes moved to Mr.Villin who was staring at me with confusion. He walked towards me and grabbed the card from my hand, I watched him read it calmly and collectively which made my thoughts rush to my head again. How can someone be this calm while reading a death threat from rivalry person? I glanced at Lillian, who was watching Mr Villin with the same expression she had before, "Where is Lydia?" Mr.Villin asked looking at Lillian,"I don't know, sir, she's not in her office!" she said, looking at him, worry for Lydia was evident in her eyes."Call her," he said while turning back and walking out of my office, I turned my head towards Lillian who was dialling Lydia's number in her phone. I watched her move the phone to her ears, tension began spreading all over my body while I patiently waited for Lillian to say something and Lydia to answer the call. I signalled her to put it on s
I grabbed the door handle and opened the door, "Have fun!" she yelled from the living room, I stepped out and watched her wink at me, I shook my head while closing the door with a smile on my face.I reached the ground floor and walked through the lobby, I noticed all those stares I was getting but I'm used to ignoring them. I walked straight to the parking lot and noticed Lillian's car waiting for me, so I walked straight to it. As I was walking to the car I saw Lydia and Lillian watching me walk to them with their mouths wide open, I understood them being surprised to see me in this dress because they always see me in business attire and nothing other than that.I opened the car door and stepped inside while closing the doors back, I looked at them and noticed them watching me while turning their heads towards me."What?" I asked with my eyebrows up, They didn't say anything but just looked at each other instead, Lydia began smirking at me, "So?" she said with her eyes wiggling at
She gave us our shots stand while arranging her's, "Okay then, I'll start first, Never Have I ever kissed a stranger," She and drank one of her shot, I glanced at Lillian and saw taking a shot too, they glanced at me with a questioning look on their faces. I shook my head as no, they drank the shots and placed the empty one aside, now it was my turn, "Never have I ever... slipped on a banana peel," I said and I drank the shot, I heard them laugh listening to my words, I smirked as I watched them drink their shots, "That was funny!" Lillian said while wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. "Never have I ever..danced like a tribal person!" Lillian said while drinking her shot, I remember dancing like that when I was so drunk once, I took a shot and noticed Lydia taking a shot of hers while laughing out loud. "Never have I ever...sniffed marker ink," Lydia said while laughing and taking her shot to her mouth, we laughed out while drinking ours. "Never have I ever..worn my shirt
He appeared before me, in all his splendour. A tailored black suit with a charming red tie. His chiselled jaw lifted with a proud, his lips making a thin line while His eyes a sparkling blue, so much like his fathers, and his soft, feather-like brown hair brushed away from his brow. He was charming and smart. To describe his appearance would be to totally miss the point. He was a king and he didn't give a damn what you thought of the way he looked. He saw the shock register on my face before I could hide it.His face was stern, the look on his face was deadly serious. My drunken state was making it hard for me to control my thoughts and before I could think or say anything he caught my arm and pulled into the room. The room was dark and the smell of alcohol mixed with cigarette smoke hit my nostrils, I could feel my heartbeat… every single pound in my chest. I daren't move, I daren't even breathe, I'm frozen to the spot. I could feel his hot breath, his deep heavy breaths sound nearby
AUTHOR’S POV.Apollo stared at her soft and weightless body on his lap, his mind brought back the thoughts he had when he recognized her while she was standing in front of his door fighting to get free from his bodyguard’s hand. He couldn’t take his eyes off her beautiful yet innocent eyes, Alluringly, she would blink her eyes from time to time, allowing her eyelashes to flutter like the wings of a butterfly as she stared at him in shock.Her eyes were the type of brown that was like sweet chocolate. The chocolate melts at the slightest bit of heat from love, or happiness. But that chocolate can also grow hard from the cold harsh reality that is apparent in this world. Heartbreak, or the depression that she hid from all those around her so well.His eyes moved to her lips as she whispered his name, Her lips were a pale pink that reminded him of a rosebud. The top lip was thinner, but not too thin, and it had a natural cupid's bow; the bottom one was larger and plusher. The memory of h
It was written in block letters and in very beautiful handwriting. There was a glass of water placed beside the paper, I took the glass and gulped it whole. I was beyond scared as I stared at the piece of paper, Who is he? My mind is empty, there was no memory of last night. I turned around and walked out there.As I was walking out, I tried hard to remember what happened last night, How did I end up there? Who was I with? I hailed a taxi and went back home.****I opened the door with a spare key and closed it behind me as I walked inside with my mind running wild with all unanswered questions and this stupid handover was still very effective. I walked to the kitchen and noticed a pink note on the fridge,Drink the juice in the fridge.By the handwriting, I could recognize it as mom’s, A smile made its way up to my lips when I saw it. I reached for the glass of juice placed on the fridge while I folded the paper and placed it on the kitchen counter, by the smell of it I could say thi
CLARISSA’S POV. His blue eyes were fixed on me, I can clearly notice his eyes moving from me to Brooke and his arm around my waist, My gaze was fixed on him, I could also notice his jaw tightening and his fist clenching and unclenching, his eyes moved back to me, eyes fixed on me while his eyebrows furrowed and His glare sucked something out of me, He never looked at any of the rest of the staff, just me, never blinking. There was no softness in that gaze. It was a look that conveyed a bubbling hatred. Disgust perhaps. “Are you okay, Miss Green,” Brooke’s voice broke our trance, my eyes moved to him and noticed the worry in his brown orbs. “Yeah, I’m Okay,” I said with an assuring smile on my lips,“By the way, you look beautiful,” he said, with his eyes staring right at mine and his next action took me off guard, he took my hand in his and moved it to his lips and placed a kiss on the back of it. My eyes automatically moved to Mr.Villin who was now glaring at Brooke. “You came,”
