Miranda’s P.O.VWe had been driving around in circles for the past half hour. By now, I was certain that we had lost Michael somewhere along the loops and knowing him, he’d probably given up and must be heading home by now. The kind man, whose name I’d learned was Jessie, soon pulled up to the side of the road. “I think we’ve lost the son of a gun,” he exhaled in relief, completely mirroring exactly how I was feeling at the present moment.Frankly speaking, I was terrified out of my wits. Camille pushed me down the stairs and I was still surprised as to why I hadn’t died. I narrowly missed my chance to put an end to their clandestine affair but I guess luck wasn’t on my side. My phone is most definitely broken, and who knows if it can be repaired. This was only the tip of the iceberg. I’d also not forgotten that Michael had threatened to kill me if I didn’t keep my mouth shut. I can only imagine how desperate he would be now to find me, and who knows whether or not he will succeed. I
Miranda’s P.O.VI felt the softness of a bed beneath me as my full weight pressed against it. After my little pathetic display in the car, Davien had carried me into his house, which was surprisingly not as big as I might have expected. I’d had this notion that since he had a driver and all, he’d be some Ritchie Rich but I guess I’d been mistaken by a long shot. It was a quaint little abode, with a very cosy and kindred exterior. He had carried me to what I assumed to be a guest bedroom on the ground floor.I scooted up and leaned against the headboard, and watched him disappear into the adjoining bathroom only to return with a first aid kit in hand. He sat beside me, making sue to maintain some distance, but I could still smell his enchanting cologne. He opened up the box, took out cotton balls and some antiseptic before looking at me. “I need to dress your wounds; will you allow me to do so?” he asked politely. I nodded silently, before he leaned over to me and got to work.I tried
Miranda’s P.O.VA look of amusement spread across is glorious face as he leaned against the doorframe with an outstretched arm. “Eavesdropping, were you? Didn’t expect that from you,” he tsked and then shook his head in fake disappointment. I dipped my head in dismay. I’ll admit that what I did was really shameful, and now I looked like a toddler who had been scolded for drawing on the wall or something like that. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” I mumbled and then bit my lip. All the while, I was still on the floor, my butt stationed on it. He laughed briefly before he offered his hand to me which I took, only to end up landing on his chest. My hands flew up to his pecs to steady myself so that I didn’t land smack dab on him, his smooth and glistening skin making contact with my palms. My eyes began to trail all over and downwards on their own accord, not hesitating to admire the well-defined contours of his abs, deep v-line and happy trail. When my eyes then met his blazing ones, I
Third Person’s P.O.VAfter last night’s ordeal, Michael ended up oversleeping and ended up having to buy a new outfit for work. He had been so exhausted from feeling restless from most of the night that he woke up around seven. With the speed of lightning, he ordered a new suit from the boutique downstairs of the five-star hotel he had ended up staying in for the night. He ended up arriving at the office a little over eight, and he was shaken up to say the least.Entering his office, he blew out a tired breath and took a seat on his cream leather swivel chair. He was lucky that everybody seemed to be in a frenzy about some meeting that was supposed to take place that he had slipped in almost unnoticed. It wasn’t long before he powered up his PC and got to his duties, which brought him a sense of calm and ease.The company which he worked for was Hux & Co Marketing Consultancy. It was basically the largest marketing firm in the whole state, and one of the most prominent companies in th
Davien’s P.O.VIt was never my intention to get involved in someone else’s problems but when I saw Miranda being carried off by her husband plus seeing her with literal blood dripping down her face, I couldn’t help but feel disturbed. When she had fled from my presence that night, I couldn’t quell the urge to follow her and that’s when I saw exactly what she had seen.Michael Kidman is nothing but a filthy, loathsome bastard. A bastard who just so happens to be employed at my company, or future company to be more precise.I spent my fair share lurking about the shadows, making sure to not draw too much attention to myself whenever it came to my father’s company. I’d been raised to be the next in line, and personally I thought being the head of Hux & Co was my birth right. My father spent most of his years making it what it is now but, in the process, he’d exerted himself too much and now he has an underlying heart condition. Soon enough he’d have to retire, and let’s just say that I w
Miranda’s P.O.VIt was not even midday yet and I had already been thoroughly humiliated. When that woman called Penelope barged into Davien’s house and started accusing me of hooking up with him, I felt extremely mortified. My cheeks flamed so much and I wished the ground would just swallow me whole. After she’d gotten all my measurements, she gave Davien a scathing look before she exited. Davien released a heavy sigh and rubbed his forehead with his hand as he turned towards my direction. “I am so sorry about that. My dad always sends Penny over whenever he thinks I’m up to some tomfoolery,” he muttered lowly, and I nodded in understanding.“It’s okay. She seems like a…nice person,” I remarked coyly, and smiled weakly. On the inside, I was feeling like somebody had just posted a picture of me butt naked on the internet for the whole world to see.He looked at me through thick lashes, tilting his head to the side. “Nice? That woman is a massive jerk. All she ever does is tattle on me
Miranda’s P.O.VSo, I spent the majority of yesterday alone doing whatever I pleased. The morning passed and then just like that, it was evening. I was expecting Davien to have been back by the time it was dinner; I had gone all out just to make a special meal for him to show my gratitude but he didn’t show as I had anticipated. I was starting to get worried about him, but I didn’t bother to call since I didn’t want to come off as the nagging type. Michael had yelled at me many a time for calling him when he stayed out late, probably banging Camille or doing actual work, and let’s just say this one time he got severely pissed about it that he came straight home and slapped me so hard I thought I saw stars.After eating, I cleaned up and placed Davien’s food in the oven with a note left on the fridge. I went to bed with a heavy heart, once again, still pondering over where my life was going. How far was I going to get with this? I feel like I’m just lying to myself thinking that my lif
Davien’s P.O.VDonovan Griffins and I had been friends for as long as I could remember. I cannot exactly recall how we got about to befriending each other, but let’s just say that man had been the persistent one since day one. While I’m more of a recluse and prefer my own company most of the time, Donovan is more outgoing and quite the womanizer. With his playful ways, I still wonder how he’d even managed to pull through law school and even rise to prominence as one of the most highly decorated divorce lawyers in the country. Who knew that one day his chosen area of expertise would actually come in handy?I instructed my driver to take us to the law firm at which he worked at; Wilmar & Lathan LLP. It’s by far one of the largest law firms by revenue in the world, boasting a team of about 2 500 lawyers working under different specialities. Donovan, that lucky son of a gun, had wound up being hired and his career has skyrocketed ever since. He’d even handled divorce settlements for quite
