MATTHEWI got to the restroom door and brought out my phone. I already had a friend give me access to its CCTV camera.I watched as two other ladies tried to make a conversation with Zara but all she responded was a smile on her face.I could she is carrying the guilt of Anna Daniels apparent suicide. But she shouldn't. She didn't convince her to help, I did.Anna had come to me for advice. Me, the rival of her husband's friend. But I was more than that to Anna. I was her friend. We had known each other for years during my sabbatical away from the country.But Anna returned earlier than planned because of her parents' pressure to marry the so-called first son of a billionaire.And now because of that, she took her own life. I have to find a way for the Daniels to pay for what they did to her.There are a lot of people that need to pay. And I'll get them one by one. But right now, I need to get my ex girlfriend out of here without being seen by anybody.The two ladies finally left the
MATTHEWI took off the tenth tie that I had put on in anger. Nothing seems to be giving me the look I was looking for.Sophisticated, smooth, hot, and doesn't give a shit. That's the look I want Zara to see me in, until I turned the tables. And pull a 180 degree turn on her “You are going to make us late,” my friend Daniel said to me. It's been a while since I saw him.Our last meeting didn't end well, and I had to pay for that. Daniel has been by my side since we met in college after Zara's mother's accident. He was the only one that saw through my lies, and the wall I built around myself. And I have been feeling like a bad person, ever seen I threw it in his face about him not being a father.And Daniel, being who Daniel is. Forgave me after I apologized. But not entirely, I had to pay for the next budget of his research.“I'll just go with black,” I said, giving up. “It's sophisticated enough.” I turned around to look at him.“Excellent choice,” he said, and turned around.“Oh co
CLAIREMy eyes widened in shock as I heard Monica's name. Fuck.I have totally forgotten that she's the reason I returned back to the office in the first place. I looked at Krystal's face and she had a surprise expression. I bet she was wondering what Monica was doing here in the building, and more importantly here in front of my office.“Claire, are you in?” I heard Monica's voice again, and Krystal fingers twisted inside of me.“What's she doing here?” Her voice came out hoarsely, and with much desire. I could feel myself dripping. I was close to an orgasm when Monica interrupted.Why the hell did she need to arrive this early?Of course she will be here on time. She needs to know the juicy Intel I have on her partner and enemy. Zara Taylor.“I'll be right outside,” I said, and disengaged myself from Krystal. She looks at me with so much confusion.But I didn't have time to explain myself to her, at least not yet. Right now I need to chase Monica away, and we can continue from wher
KRYSTALI could feel my hands shaking as I delivered the news. I might come off as a hardened person, but news like this always brings me to my knees.I mean this was the lady who helped Lisa secure her victory. Without her, we wouldn't have known about the clause in their prenup agreement.And now she is dead, less than a month since Lisa divorced her husband, and she has left her catering service company.What a nightmare.“How did she die, Krystal?” I heard Zara's voice, and it brought me back to the present.“I don't know,” I said, and I began to scroll through my phone.“Let's head inside,” Vic said, trying to be the only one who wasn't affected by the news. But we all were, it's tragic.The last time I felt this kind of pain I was being thrown out by my parents for being gay. And I vowed to myself I wouldn't feel like this again.I need to clear my head. I need to have a really good sexy time with someone.“Anything?” Lisa asked as we walked into the elevator.“Not yet, the caus
ZARAI walked out of his office slowly.My legs felt strange, like they weren’t fully mine. My body was still warm, like his touch had left a mark I couldn’t shake off.I didn’t see anyone around. His assistant was gone. The hallway was empty.NGood.Because I needed space. I needed air.I pressed the elevator button and stepped inside the moment it opened. The doors closed behind me, and I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding.My hands trembled as I touched my lips.Why did I let him get so close? Why didn’t I push him away?I could still feel his hand on my waist. The way he leaned into me, like he wanted to devour me. The sound of my own moan, soft, shameful, echoed in my ears.God. What was wrong with me?I’m supposed to hate him. I do hate him. He ruined everything. He took my mother from me, and now he is taking my daughter, who I have loved more than life itself away from me. He has hurt me more than anyone else ever could.So why did my body melt under his touch?
MATTHEW“You have this all wrong, Zara,” I said, patting Hazel's back. I could feel her trembling in my arms. Despite the reason for her tears, I couldn't help but rejoice at the fact that she is with me. My daughter, finally in my arms.This has been a long dream of mine more than five years ago. To have a child of my own.Especially when I knew I couldn't look or love another woman that wasn't Zara Taylor. And yet, here she is. Trying to deny me something I have longed for.“Do I, Matthew?” She asked me. “You took my mother from me, now you're taking my daughter!” She snapped.“You seem to be forgetting she is my daughter too,” I said, and she shook her head.“Not according to her birth certificate, she is not,” she said, and I scoffed.“But I bet a DNA test result will hold up in court,” I said, and eyes around us widened.“Wait, hold up,” her friend Vic, stood between the both of us. “This doesn't have to leave this place,” she said.“Yes,” Lisa, the woman Zara just helped get h
