ZANE.

After picking up the broken pieces and cleaning the room, I retrieved the exposed frame from the top of the bedstand and placed it back inside the drawer it had been stored in.

I made sure to shut the drawer completely before going back to the living room. The rain intensified, but my anger was yet to subside.

I paced around the living room, unable to focus on work.

I really hated it when people snooped around, touching my stuff without my permission, and she, of all people, should kn

    ELYSIA. Turning, I took in his scent. Sandalwood and amber. My lids parted, and my eyes fell on him. His eyes were shut, and he was breathing softly. The morning sun fell on the side of his face, creating a shadow on the other side of his face. His face made me recall last night, how I initiated last night's kiss. My cheeks went red immediately. I moved in his arms. "Why are you squirming, doll?” His deep morning voice rang in my ear. My heart skipped a beat; I didn't expect him to be awake. "I-- nothing." He pulled me closer, sniffing my hair deeply. "Fucking sexy." He grabbed my ass, giving it a tight squeeze. My cheeks heated up; his voice was doing things to me. Unexplainable things. "Where'd you get the courage to kiss like that?" His nose was in my hair. I bit my bottom lip. "I-- I don't know. Frustration can pull out a lot of traits; I guess courage is one of 'em." He smiled. "I liked it. Another question, doll." He pulled away from me, staring. "The talk about stayin

    ELYSIA. Zane and I had yet to speak directly to each other. After my outburst yesterday morning and his response when I stormed into my room, we didn't have any other conversation. When he called me out for lunch, it was through a text, and the same thing happened during dinner. I had lunch inside my room and dinner in the dining room; he still didn't speak. Obviously, he didn't want to make me uncomfortable, as I had put it. It was for the best; it was to protect both of us. But why did I feel weird last night after dinner? His cold shoulder was expected, but my reaction to it was the unexpected one. All I wanted to do was go back home..During breakfast the next morning, he finally spoke. "We're supposed to return today, but another business deal came up, and our return home has been postponed." My jaw dropped. "What? Why?" I asked, even though he just told me the reason. He didn't give me a response. Why did the business deal have to come up now, of all times? I was so exc

    ZANE. I got out of the car after her, intending to grab her arm and force her to explain what she'd just said. But a young lady in the lobby stopped us, and I immediately suspected she was Mr. Wilson's secretary. I glared at the secretary; of all times and forms of politeness, Mr. Wilson had to send his secretary to pick us up from the lobby? What happened to standing beside the elevator on his office floor? "Good morning, Mr. Zane. I'm the secretary of Mr. Wilson, and I was asked to take you to the floor where the meeting will be held." So it wasn't in his office?I only nodded and walked behind her into the elevator. The ride was silent all through; I kept staring at Elysia, who was obviously and purposely avoiding my gaze. She was looking around the elevator, while I stared intensely at her. Trying to see through her, but somehow, I couldn't tell if she was being serious with her words or she was just trying to pull my fucking legs.It had better be the latter. .The meeting

    ELYSIA. Shutting the door and locking it behind me, a low sigh left my lips. With my back placed flatly on the door, I slipped down until I was crouching. I didn't want to panic; I really didn't want to believe it wasn't a dream. But somehow, I could vividly remember all of the orgasms. Everything. No. No. It didn't happen; it wasn't supposed to. How did it--I need a bath. I crawled to the bathroom, not only because I was too mentally exhausted to use my legs but because I was sore between. I thought taking a bath would help; I didn't remember until the water ran down my body that we had also done it in the bathroom. I was exhausted; he wanted to help me wash up, but we ended up going down another round under the running shower...I shook my head vigorously, turning off the shower. The more I tried to suppress the thoughts, the harder they popped up at the back of my head. I could literally remember it all like I was watching it all over again, and that wasn't what I wanted

    ELYSIA. I don't know where, but I felt my back on something soft. My eyes were still shut, until his lips left mine. I finally opened my eyes, we were in his room, on his bed and he was straddling me; his eyes on mine. He moved away from my waist, moving between my legs. My breaths were uneven, my heartbeat erratic, arrhythmic. He raised both legs, placing it on his shoulders. I watched him with parted lips, the anticipation of what he would do next gave me a whole new wave of excitement. He bunched my dress up to my waist, and the cold surge of wind hit my exposed skin, pulling in goosebumps . My nipples hardened under his intense gaze and I shuddered involuntarily when he trailed his index finger down my inner thighs. Was it the alcohol? Why did it feel so overwhelming? His gaze, his touch, the little smile on his lips. It all added to the pleasure. I was literally going crazy even when he hadn't touched me intimately yet. "Why are you shaking, doll?" I've always found that

    ELYSIA. Waking up that weekend morning, Zane was nowhere around me. When did he leave? I was still looking around my room with sleepy eyes when a soft knock sounded on the door. The door opened slightly and slowly; Mom poked her head in. "Morning, sweetheart." She smiled. "Did I wake you up?""No." I shook my head. "I'm awake. Good morning." "It's past 9 am already; breakfast is almost ready." "9 am?" I was stunned. "Yeah. You should get ready for breakfast. And your trip." She left. Zane had told me last night that we'd be leaving by noon. Good thing I got all of my stuff ready since yesterday. After breakfast, I started my preparations. I FaceTimed Nova to pick out an outfit for me. "I'd prefer you in something very simple, since he said there's a private business dinner; you can change into something more sophisticated then." She suggested, rejecting every dress I brought until she finally nodded at one with a satisfactory smile. .I left my room in a light pink mini A-lin

    ELYSIA. Oh no! I shut my eyes immediately, my hands flew to my face to block what I just saw. "I-- I'm sorry," I stuttered. "I didn't mean to barge into your room, I'm just here on an errand, mom asked me to call you... for breakfast.""What?""I mean, I didn't mean to see you naked--" my cheeks h

    ELYSIA. In the next two days before Mom's wedding, I was choked up. I helped Mom out with her fittings, organized the seat charts, helped out with choosing flowers, went for cake tastings, I was practically buried in busy schedules, phone calls, and checklists. Nova helped out as much as she coul

    ELYSIA. I blinked, frozen on my spot as I stared at Zane who stared back at me coldly. I didn't know what to do or how to react. Should the ground just open up for me to fall? Everything, all of the memories came rushing back to me like they had been waiting for this moment. How he had spilled c

    ELYSIA. Reluctantly, I got into the car. Partly because I was sure I wouldn't be able to get a taxi anymore and mostly because it's already embarrassing enough that my enemy had to see me like this, and the other people I'd passed with tear-stained cheeks and puffy eyes?I didn't ask how Zane knew
