LOGINI kept my eyes fixated on the road, doing everything I could to stay focused like my life depended on it, because it in fact did.From how recklessly she was driving and doing everything possible to hit my car, I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me she was trying to turn this into a fatal accident.But I won't let her.I gritted my teeth, both hands on the wheel as I hit the pedal, saying a silent prayer over and over again in my head as I got closer to my company building.I parked the car roughly and sped out before even shutting the door, and a cold wave of relief washed over me the second I spotted Axel, waiting for me at the building entrance.I crashed into his arms and he pulled me behind him as Gwen approached us with her car.She parked a couple meters from where we were standing and slowly made her way towards us with a bright unsettling smile hanging on her lips.“Axel!” She chirped, “it's good to see….”“HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND!!?” Axel's voice thundered, sending v
The room fell into a heavy silence after Knox’s words.We finally got something tangible linking everything to Gwen.I felt Elara’s fingers tighten around mine.“What are we going to do now?” she asked, her voice steadier than I expected. “This is really huge evidence.”Knox slipped the vial back into his pocket. “Evidence, yes. But not enough to bury her.”I turned to look at him.“The compound traces back to Harold Limited,” he continued. “That only proves access. It doesn’t prove she put it in the juice.”Elara frowned. “But who else would? We already know she did it.”Knox gave a small smile. “A defense attorney will say the same thing I said. Access isn’t guilt. She’ll claim she's innocent and someone is framing her. With her resources? Finding a loophole wouldn't be difficult.”My jaw tightened and Elara shifted slightly against me. “So what are you suggesting?” I asked“We get her to confess,” Knox said simply.“Have you lost your mind?” I questioned, “how are we even going t
“Juice?…what juice?” I asked, furrowing my brows.“The orange juice…it tasted different today, there's something in it,” she struggled to get the words out of her.“Get some rest, I'll handle it,” I said, gently laying her back on the bed.“M…my baby…my baby,” she cried, placing her hands on her abdomen.“She's okay, the baby's fine,” I calmed her down, and she finally relaxed, as she slowly drifted back to sleep.I exited the hospital room and dialed Knox, he didn't need to waste his time searching for answers anymore.“Hello,” his voice echoed from the speaker.“Get a sample of the orange juice in the fridge and take it to a lab, that's how Elara got poisoned, we need to know what's inside it and how it got in there,” I said firmly.“Noted,” he replied, and I dropped the call.I stood leaning against the wall outside her room when I sensed a subtle shift in the air as a figure appeared from the corner of my eyes.I lifted my head, and there the unwanted guest was, Gwen.Dressed in w
I swiftly lifted her off the ground, running as fast as my legs could carry as I went straight to the car, driving like a mad man across the road.I kept turning to look at her, I didn't even have the time to check her pulse.I've never been the religious type, but I found myself praying to whichever God was listening to save her.I threw the hospital doors open, yelling for a doctor as they brought out a stretcher and wheeled her into the emergency room.My legs couldn't stop moving as I paced back and forth, outside the room she was in, trying to figure out what was going on, hoping the doctors could give me something tangible as a bone chilling fear settled in my chest.“Axel!” Knox called out from behind me, as he hurried to where I was standing. “What's going on? What happened to Elara?” He asked, placing his hands on my shoulders, steadying me in place.“Sh…she…I…I found her on the floor and she wasn't mov...she was unconscious,” I forced the words out, hands shaking uncontrolla
“You'll go to him right?” I asked, my voice firmer than intended.“Yes,” he said without hesitation.“I want to come too.”“No baby,” he murmured, his tone unwavering, as he leaned closer to me, “it's not safe, we don't know the kind of person he is and it's best you stay home.”I wanted to object, but I just let it go. He'll give me a debrief when he gets back anyways. After Axel left the house with Knox, I stayed in the bathtub for a short while, before getting out and changing into something comfy.I scrolled through my phone, my eyes getting stuck on Cyrus' last message to me. Since that day at my office, we haven't really talked, and it was just like he was avoiding me.His reaction that day made me scared at first, but I honestly don't think he meant any harm. He wasn't getting along with Axel really well and he's just trying to look out for me.I dialed his number, waiting patiently to see if he would pick up as I walked back to the kitchen to get another glass of juice. For
I threw my head back, completely overwhelmed by the feeling of his warm mouth, devouring my p*ssy, sucking and licking with a desperate hunger.His movement was so rough and hot, igniting my arousal even more.His tongue snaked its way deep into my pussy, and he suckled, stroking it in and out as I moved my waist closer to his face, spreading my legs even farther, my body aching for more.His lips pressed hard against my heat and he replaced his tongue with his two index fingers, pushing it deep inside my pussy, as my inner walls contracted against his fingers.“Ughhhhhh,” I moaned, my legs threatening to close shut but he spread it even wider. He pumped his fingers in and out of my throbbing core, fast, hard and rough, increasing the fire burning under my skin as my legs shook, unable to contain the pleasure, my eyes rolling to the back of my head.My heart skipped the second a knock echoed through the room, and my eyes flew open, shooting to the door. But Axel didn’t stop. He kept
“Nothing,” I whispered, my voice trembling against the heat between us.The rhythm of my heartbeat sped up as his fingers brushed over my lips, grazing them like a delicate treasure, his eyes locked onto them with a hunger that made my knees weak, and before I could even breathe another word, his l
He turned towards me as I stepped in, he looked like he'd been having a conversation with Knox.“I'm sorry,” my voice barely above a whisper.He didn't react, his expression unreadable.“I…I…I wasn't thinking,” I said.But his expression didn't change.I took a step forward and he finally spoke.“G
Axel is unbelievable!I can't believe he sent me that massive bouquet just so he could outdo Cyrus.“Axel Thorne, you are something,” I giggled. He wasn't home, so I took out my phone to send him a thank you text when Cyrus' message popped up on my screen.It was an attachment, a picture of Axel's
“You had to see the look on his face, like he had seen a ghost,” I screamed, laughing in excitement as I climbed the stairs to my room, my heels in one hand as Axel followed behind me.“Did you see him? did you see the horror written all over his face the moment he spotted you?” I turned to Axel, s
