"Mason! It's been a while, my friend." The man, who appeared to be in his mid-fifties, approached him with wide arms and a bright smile."Gerbert!" (Jer-bare)Gerbert ushered Mason towards the couch after they exchanged a pound hug."How is your health now?""Fit as a fiddle!" Mason proudly said and Gerbert chuckled."I had a last-minute meeting to attend, hence you had to wait. I apologize." As they sat down, Gerbert apologized."I understand, my friend. I appreciate you taking time out of your hectic schedule to see me.""I owe you so much, Mason, how could I not when you needed my help?" Gerbert said sincerely, and Mason smiled gratefully at him."How about a cup of tea?" Gerbert asked pouring some freshly brewed tea in a cup and Mason nodded, "Thank you.""Four spoons of sugar as always?" Mason panicked as Gerbert asked, picking up a spoonful of sugar."No! No sugar! Ophelia is going to murder me if she finds out I had so much sugar!" Gerbert chuckled as Mason exclaimed."I believ
"I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible." Mason chuckled,"I'm sorry I can't come to see you off at the airport." Gerbert apologized and Mason dismissed it."There's nothing to worry about. I hope to see you soon.""Hopefully you will." As Mason got into the waiting car, they said their goodbyes. Gerbert's driver dropped off Mason at the airport, and he was soon on his way back to California."Dad! You are back!" As Mason entered their home in the morning, Ophelia cheerfully hugged him."How are you holding up, little dove?" He inquired in a rich voice, as he placed his suitcase on the floor and sat down on the couch."I suppose everything is OK at work. I mean, I know I didn't make any mistakes?" She inquired, and Mason laughed."I'm sure you didn't.""How did things turn out?" Mason sighed, losing his tie, as Ophelia eagerly inquired."He agreed to invest, and we devised some business concepts. He will be paying us a visit soon." Mason chose not to tell her everything right
"You are fired.""What! You can't do that!" The man yelled and raised his brow in question."I signed a contract, and you can't fire me until it expires!" He attempted to be smug, but Onyx could see right through his ruse. The corner of his mouth twisted upward, forming a smirk."You work in my company, steal from it, recommend my clients to competing companies, and sell my company's trade secrets to my rivals. Give me a good reason why you shouldn't be behind bars!""Because you lack proof, whereas I have my employment contract." He said confidently as Onyx's brows twist upward as he leans back in his plush chair."You have no idea what's going on, do you, Mr. Connor?" Onyx inquires as he notices Connor stiffen visibly in front of him.He took a document from the bottom drawer of his table. With the document in hand, Onyx rose from his chair and moved in front of him, leaning against the mahogany table."Clause 6 of the employment contract states that if you are disloyal to me or my
Her body grinded sensually against him as their bodies swayed to the beat. His hands wrapped around her waist as he drew her closer. His hand swept her raven hair away, revealing her neck to him. As she threw her hand back on his shoulder, his fingers teased her bare skin. His other hand fiddled with the hem of her dress, his fingers gliding up her inner thigh. She didn't protest and they both knew what they wanted.--He yawned as he made a left turn, his gaze drawn to the disheveled girl chewing her nail anxiously beside him on the car seat and he sighed in frustration. You might wonder how they got to be this way. Let us revert back to the perfect morning when the colors of the world bloom anew in the early morning as if each is a tiny flower reborn. As the sun's soft rays tickle her skin, she opens her eyes to reveal the glorious face of the man she shared the bed with the night before. What a ride it had been, a night she would never forget. His eyes fluttered open and a smirk c
“Wëllkomm, Papp.” Gerbert stepped out of the car in the hotel foyer, Onyx welcomed him with a polite bow. (Welcome, Father.)"Gutt dech ze gesinn, Jong." Gerbert said as they hugged. (Good to see you, son,)"Selwecht hei, Papp. Komm mir ginn dobannen." Onyx led Gerbert to his penthouse at the top of the opulent building. (Same here, Father. Let's go inside.)Onyx and Gerbert sat down in Onyx's office after some refreshments."Father, I went over everything regarding the company. And I don't think it's wise to invest such a significant sum of money there." Onyx remarked this while clasping his hands on the top of the wooden table."It might not be, but I'm going to invest regardless. I would perhaps invest more in the future." Gerbert stated solemnly,"Of course, you can, If the company survives that is.""Anyhow, this is not why I came to see you." Gerbert began speaking as he rose from his chair. "You will accompany me to the meeting tomorrow. I can handle everything on my own, but y
"Marriage? To a man w*hore like him?" Everyone's eyes widened as she exclaimed, pointing at Onyx."I'd rather marry a log than marry him." She spat, and Onyx exclaimed, "Ouch. That hurt.""I have made up my mind, Father," Onyx said as he stepped closer to where Ophelia stood. He smiled, and Ophelia's head snapped towards him, her eyes narrowed."I want to marry her. When will the wedding take place?" Ophelia sneered as Onyx said this."This is a joke right?" Ophelia inquired, looking at Mason, and everyone's eyes were drawn to him."You didn't tell her?" Gerbert inquired, and Mason nervously laughed."Well no worries, now you know. Let's go on a date shall we, meng Léift? We also need to discuss about our wedding ceremony. Your dress, my tuxedo, and the decorations. But first, we must plan the engagement ceremony." Onyx smirked as he stared down at her. (My love.)"You-" When she felt her father's gaze on her, Ophelia stopped in her sentence. When she glanced at him, she saw despair i
"You scumbag!" Ophelia roared anger, and Owen's expression looked horrified. He was peering out of the slightly opened door, but as Ophelia yelled, his hand let go of the door and his half-naked self emerged. When she saw him standing before her in nothing but a boxer, Ophelia's face contorted with disgust."Ophelia, how are you here?" Owen stuttered like a fool, and Ophelia's scowl deepened."You're asking me that? Don't you feel a tiny little bit of shame? You're standing half naked in front of me, with another girl in your bed, and you're asking me why I'm here!""Ophelia I-I can explain!" Owen pleaded frantically, and Ophelia scoffed."Why does everyone pretend to be able to explain? What else is there to explain! You made out with some other girl in your car! You brought her home and were f*ucking her! I caught you in the act, and you're going to explain it! What are you gonna explain Owen? Please tell me! What are you going to say? That you were performing CPR on her in your car
She didn't say anything except to give him directions on the way to Ophelia's home. He sneaked glances at her from time to time, and despite the urge to strike up a discussion, he stayed silent.He soon drove into Ophelia's apartment complex and parked."Thanks." She said she was getting out of the car, and Onyx followed her out. She began walking into the building, but when Onyx followed her, she came to a halt and turned around."Where are you going?" Onyx shrugged as she inquired curtly."I'm walking you to your home. Father told me to make sure you reach home safely." Onyx nodded like a wise sage, and Ophelia rolled her eyes.Ophelia turned around to face Onyx after unlocking the apartment door with the spare key she had."Thank you for the ride home," she said curtly, and Onyx nodded. "You're welcome,""Good night." Ophelia attempted to turn around but was stopped when Onyx began to talk. "Are you not going to invite me inside?""Why would I?" She narrowed her eyes."I took you o
