Josephine’s POV I blinked my eyes open with a yawn, and the moment I did, I instantly realized that I wasn't at home.Sitting up with a start, I looked around the room, my temples throbbing with an agonizing ache, as the memories of yesterday wafted into my mind.From how I had accompanied Francesco to a private dinner, and had drunk myself to stupor, to how I had ended up getting pounded by him.“Oh my goodness,” I shrieked, utterly horrified as my hands flew over my mouth.I was in soup, and not just any soup.A big, boiling soup of trouble.How could I have done something so stupid? I thought, raking my fingers through my hair, as I realized that Francesco wasn't in bed with me.It was as though I knew my subconscious knew I'd end up in his bed, given how I had let Sabrina sleep over at grandma's place last night.Looking down at my naked self, I shook my head in disappointment, especially when I saw the hickeys along my inner thighs.Although I'd been drunk, the memories of how F
Francesco’s POV Steering my car out of my parking space, I turned on the radio.“Marco De Luca, former owner of DL group, was arrested yesterday for drunk driving after his car collided with an electric pole,” The newscaster reported, and I huffed in disbelief.“How awesome,” I muttered.“Fortunately, no one was harmed by the accident,” The newscaster continued. “Although the electric pole collapsed.”Turning off the radio, I scoffed.I hadn't heard from my father after the court hearing, and the news of his reckless driving, was the one I was getting after such a long time.To think an unfit person like him had even been competing for my company, was laughable.Knowing my father, he would have made my companies bankrupt within a month.As I drove onto the highway, my thoughts wandered to Josephine, particularly how infuriated she’d been with me yesterday.Strangely enough, her anger yesterday didn’t turn me on.She didn't even allow me to drive her home, and had boarded a cab instea
Josephine’s POV “You can do this, my love,” I told Sabrina as she took her stand on the starting point of the field.Smiling, she blew me a kiss, “Love you, mummy.”“I love you too, my little runner,” I said, before going to stand under the canopy reserved for the parents.Today was the annual Sports festival day at Sabrina's school. And for the first time ever, Sabrina was a part of the athletes. My daughter was taking part in the one hundred meter race, and I was beyond proud of her.Her team was called Blue Daisy, and so, she was clad in a custom blue tracksuit.In all honesty, I really didn't mind whatever position she took at the end of the day, the only thing that mattered to me was that she was also participating in the sports festival that year.As the pistol went off, I stood with my hands clutched to my chest as a little girl in a red tracksuit raced past her.However, just before they could reach the finish line, Sabrina took the lead and just like that, she won the race,
Josephine’s POV Inhaling sharply, I alighted from my car, with my heart hammering against my ribs as I gazed at the building of the coffee shop, where Ian and I were meeting.Glancing at my wristwatch, I saw that I still had ten minutes left before our meeting, and momentarily contemplated waiting in my car until it was nine on the dot.Last night when I got a text from Ian asking to meet up, my heart had sunk to the bottom of my feet, because I still couldn't bring myself to talk to him face to face.Knowing fully well that I'd slept with Francesco.After doing some thinking, I had decided to come clean to Ian today about my feelings for him, so he could find his own love.A woman who would return his love wholeheartedly.Exhaling heavily, I decided to just go inside and get the whole thing done and over with.Just like I'd expected, Ian was already sat at an empty table, his brows furrowed into a slight frown as his eyes wandered across the restaurant.On sighting me, a smile curve
Josephine's POV What was I doing? Had I finally gone mad? Had I forgotten the reason why I came to Francesco's office on the first place?Those were some of the various unhinged questions coursing through my mind, as Francesco practically shoved his tongue down my throat.Erotic hunger flowed through my veins, rendering me horny and eager for his touch as he placed his hands on my hips.Looping my arms around his neck, I moaned into the ferocious kiss, as his hands strayed to cup my ass cheeks.“Fuck, baby. You are too hot,” He growled into the kiss.My response was a desperate whimper as my pussy pulsated with sexual want. I wanted Francesco even though I claimed to hate him and it scared me.But not to the extent of me pulling away from him, because I was already so horny, I couldn't even think straight anymore.The moment our lips met, I had lost the ability to make any logical decision.Just then, Francesco turned me around in his hold, so that my back was now pressed against hi
Josephine’s POV “Spotted! Billionaire, Francesco De Luca and Astral telecoms heiress, April Newman, spark dating rumours after getting caught sharing a steamy kiss three days ago,” The article's headline read. Repressing the urge to cry, I scrolled through the pictures and there it was, the proof of what had been happening right under my eyes for almost a year now. Hell, it had probably been happening for over a year at that point. My husband, Francesco De Luca, was in a relationship with his longtime business partner, April Newman, who I had once met at a charity function that my husband threw in honour of our wedding, three years ago. In two of the pictures, they were both laughing along to something, with April's hand clasped to her mouth, and in the last picture, they were full-on kissing in front of the restaurant, with April wearing Francesco’s coat. So this was really it. Francesco was never going to come back to me, no matter how hard I cried and prayed to the un
Josephine's POV “You can retire for the day,” I told the maids as I entered the kitchen. “Your work here is done.” They shared confused looks among themselves before Beatrice walked up to me. “We are yet to prepare dinner for the boss. Or isn't he coming home tonight?” She asked, and I smiled. “Don't worry. I will take care of it,” I replied, to which she raised a brow but nodded regardless as the other maids began to leave. It had been a week since my miscarriage and three days after my discharge from the hospital. Earlier today, Francesco sent a text, informing me that he was coming home tonight and to make his favourite dish. The nerve of that cheating scumbag. While I was bleeding, Francesco was making love to his mistress without a care in the world. If I had died, he would have probably thrown a party with April to celebrate my exit from their lives, yet he had the audacity to ask me to make him food. “Goodnight, ma'am,” They said. “Goodnight, everyone.” I r
Josephine's POV “Stop sleeping like a log and wake up,” A male's voice wafted into my ears, which was followed by cold water trickling down my body, and that snapped me right out of my slumber. Gasping, I opened my eyes and sat up, only to see my boss, Bruce Gavinski and his wife, Rachel Gavinski, hovering over me, their expressions everything but pleasant. “Good morning,” I said, standing up from my cot. “It's been two weeks since you started working here yet we still have to wake you up to do your job. Maybe if we deduct from your salary, you'll be motivated to wake up at the right time instead of being a slug,” Rachel spat, eying me angrily. “Will you take yourself to the kitchen this instant?” “Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry,” I rambled out before heading to the kitchen, while caressing my chest as I suddenly felt nauseous. It was probably my overpowering anxiety. I was anxious about a lot of things, ranging from Russo finding me and making the rest of my life a living hell to h

Francesco’s POV Wrapping my arms around Josephine's sexy frame, I slid my tongue into the wet warmth of her mouth, my cock springing to life as she moaned into the kiss.Passionate arousal coursed through me as she moaned melodiously, while holding onto my coat for dear life.Grabbing her hips, I pressed a chaste kiss to her lips and looked into her eyes, which were filled with drunken arousal.“You are so beautiful, petal,” I said, as Josephine looked at me expectantly.“I know,” She whispered, and I chuckled, kneading her soft, delectable ass.“Yet I'm the cocky one,” I said, lifting her bridal style, which elicited a yelp from her.Hooking her arms around my neck, Josephine proceeded to loosen my tie as I carried her upstairs into my bedroom.Flicking on the lights, I placed her on the bed before sealing my lips to hers in a passionate smooch, with my cock aching and begging to be freed.If someone had told me that I'd be this close to Josephine last week, I would have looked at t
Josephine’s POV “I'm going to ask Ian to stop courting me,” I told Alice and Edison, as we returned from lunch. “You still don't like him?” Alice asked, to which I nodded.Telling her that I'd nearly fucked Francesco would be too horrendous, and I didn't want that.“Why?” Edison asked, taking his seat. “The guy seems really nice and caring.”“This is girl talk, okay?” Alice hurled. “So just stay out of it.”“Jo didn't specify,” Edison argued looking at me. “Or do you not want me to contribute to the matter?”The last thing I needed at that moment was Edison and Alice arguing over my complicated love life.I was about to respond when a knock came on the door.“Come in,” I said, relieved by the distraction.One of the firm's messengers, Connelly, walked in.“Good morning,” He greeted. “Mr De Luca asked me to call you to his office.”For the past three days, Francesco hadn't come to the law firm, and although a part of me had been somewhat relieved that he wasn't disturbing me with his
Josephine’s POV “Mummy, could you please give me more sugars?” Sabrina asked, to which I nodded before adding a teaspoon of sugar into her bowl of oatmeal.“And baby, it's sugar. Not sugars,” I said, then to Grandma, I asked. “Do you need more sugar, ma?”“No, sweetheart. I'm good,” She waved. Presently, Sabrina and I were having breakfast at grandma's place, as today was Saturday and we usually went over to keep grandma company on the weekends.“Mummy, why is it called sugar instead of sugars?” Sabrina asked, after the maids cleared the table. “It should be sugars because they are plenty. Right, Nana?”Chuckling, Grandma shook her head in negation, “Darling, that's just the way English goes. Very soon you'll be taught uncountable and countable noun, then you'll see.”“What is cantable and uncantable noun, mummy?” Sabrina asked.“Countable nouns are things that can be counted, like bowls, spoons, people, and more,” I divulged. “While uncountable nouns are those things that we can't
Francesco’s POV Walking out of the elevator, I made my way to the parking lot.“Francesco?” A familiar feminine voice wafted into my ears, as I unlocked my car.Turning around, I saw April, and she had a huge smile plastered to her face as she jogged up to me.“Hey,” I said, opening my car.“Hi. It's such a lovely surprise running into you here. Are you here to visit someone?” April asked.“No, I live here now,” I replied.“Really? I came to see a friend of mine,” She divulged. “I also live at the end of the street. Did I mention to you that I've decided to start my business here?”“No, you didn't,” I replied, utterly surprised. “Why are you leaving the states?”“I don't want my father's company anymore,” She replied, shrugging. “It's too tasking. Plus this place is just really refreshing and peaceful. I should have moved here a long time ago.”“Alright then. I have to go now,” I said, entering my car.“I will see you around, Francesco.” April waved, as I switched on the ignition.In
