Bridging bonds.Isabella stood up. "I want to use the restroom, guys. I'll be back soon," she said. David nodded. "You want me to come with you?" he teased. Isabella couldn't help but chuckle at David's teasing. "I'll be fine, David. No need to escort me," she called back with a playful wink.David grinned in response, enjoying their banter. "Just looking out for you, Isabella," he replied, his tone light.Meanwhile, Yvonne was completely engrossed in the movie, her emotions running high as the suspense unfolded on the screen. Suddenly, she gasped in horror, her eyes widening with shock."No way!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief. "They're going to kill her!" she shouted, unable to tear her gaze away from the unfolding drama.David turned towards her, concern etched on his face. "What's happening?" he asked, his curiosity piqued by Yvonne's sudden outburst.Yvonne tore her eyes away from the screen for a moment, her expression filled with intensity. "They threw her dow
Embers of desires"Okay, guys, I need to go to sleep. Tomorrow is my big day. I start my job tomorrow and I need to wake up early in the morning, so I can arrive at the company in time," Yvonne said standing up."Of course, Yvonne," David said with a smile. "First impression matters. Sleep tight, good night.""Good night too, Yvonne," Isabella said. "Sweet dreams.""You too, guys. Please carry on," Yvonne said and left the sitting room. "She must really be excited to start her new job tomorrow," Isabella said tentatively. "Yes, she really is. I hope she impresses her boss," David said. "Well, she's a smart lady. She'll definitely impress him," Isabella said positively. "Are you staying over?" David asked. "I wasn't thinking about that. Thought I would go home and crash," Isabella said cleverly. "Trying to play smart, huh?" David asked as he stood up. She bit her lips and nodded. "No, I'm—""Shh," David said and carried her in his arms. "What are you doing David?" Isabella aske
Dawn Of LoveHe focused on her mouth, then back to her eyes again, then back to her mouth. ‘Isabella,’ he whispered. He said her name so softly. She was not even sure if his mouth moved. She didn’t have time to respond. His hand slid through her hair at the same moment as his lips connect fiercely with hers. He slid his body on top of her, and his kiss instantly became intense. Deep. Dominating. His kiss was full of something that’d never been there before. Full of feeling. Full of hope. "Ah.. my dear, I never want you out of my side. You are so amazing."He leaned down and kissed her, his fingers started moving rhythmically inside her, his thumb circling and pressing. His other hand scooped her hair off her head and held her head in place. His tongue mirrored the actions of his fingers, claiming her. Her legs began to stiffen as she pushed against his hand. He gentled his hand, so she was brought back from the brink … she come instantly again and again, falling apart beneath him … th
Unexpected Lunch dateKim's phone rang while she prepared breakfast for herself. "I'm coming," she screamed. "Hang on there."She wiped her hand on a kitchen towel and went to her phone. She glanced at it. It was Henry Willis calling. She wasn't expecting his call, though she had been expecting it before. She answered the call. "Hello Henry.""Hello beautiful," Henry's said huskily. "How are you doing?""I'm doing well, you?" Kim asked, keeping her eyes on the water on fire. "I'm doing well too," he said. "I know my call was unexpected. Sorry.""No, you don't have to apologize," Kim said quickly. She saw the water had began to boil. "Can you give me thirty seconds? I just need to do something very important.""Alright dear," Henry said. Kim kept the phone back on the table and went to turn off the gas after bringing down the kettle. Her hand mistakenly touched the kettle and she screamed. "Is there a problem?" Henry asked, worriedly. "No, I just burned my hand," Kim said and laug
Behind close doorsIsabella was already dressed and ready to leave. "Okay, I have to go to work now," Yvonne announced as she walked towards to the door. "Bye, Isabella and David.""Wait for me, Yvonne," Isabella said. "I can drop you off at work.""Oh no, you don't have to. I don't want to be a burden," Yvonne said with a smile. "C'mon Yvonne, we are friends after all," Isabella said, grabbing her handbag. "Alright," Yvonne said. "Bye David.""Bye Yvonne," David said coming into the sitting room. "Have a great day at work.""Thank you," Yvonne said. "Bye David," Isabella said and was about to move before David grabbed her hand gently. "Are you just going to leave me like that?" David asked hoarsely, staring deep into her eyes. Isabella smiled shyly. His finger touched her nose making her to chuckle. "Have a nice day my love.""Have a nice day too, love," Isabella said and turned. "Where's my kiss?" David asked not letting go off her hand and pointing to his cheek. She turned
Friendship's Comfort Isabella walked into her own company. She got into her office. Immediately as she sat down, the door opened and Kim walked in. Kim was surprised to see Isabella and Isabella was surprised to see Kim. "Hello Isabella. I'm sorry I should have knocked," Kim said apologetically. "Nevermind that, dear Kim," Isabella said excitedly. Isabella noticed Kim had a blush on her lips. "Tell me about it. What happened?" "What do you mean, Isabella?" Kim asked shyly. "I can tell you are so happy and trying so hard not to show it. Tell me why you are so happy," Isabella urged. "Okay, fine. You caught me Isabella," Kim said and laughed. That was why they were best friends. They always noticed when they were sad or happy. "Henry took me out to lunch and he confessed his feelings for me."Isabella was excited to hear that. "Great news," she said. "But, isn't that early? You barely know each other.""I know but that feeling when you love someone, I feel it," Kim explained. Is
Veiled Agendas"This is so shocking," Chris was the first to speak. "I wasn't expecting you.""Mr Chris, I'm shocked it's you," why wouldn't Yvonne be? Chris seemed kind whenever he was around David but after hearing from his employers of his mean demeanor, she didn't know what to believe again. "Well, fate just brought us together. I am your boss and you are my secretary," he said, with a smirk. Yvonne nodded. "Will you fire me?""Hell no! Why will I do such a thing? I'm not that men or heartless. You got this job because of your hard work dear," Chris said, his smile deepening. "And besides I can trust you because you are a friend to my painter, David.""Okay sir," Yvonne said gratefully. "Thank you so much. I promise I won't let you down.""You can start now by not letting me down," Chris said, staring at her. "How? What do you mean sir?" Yvonne asked, inquisitively. "Well, I do not want David or Isabella to know you work for me," Chris said at once. "But why?" Yvonne asked. S
The Betrayal WithinIsabella was going through some documents only to realize she just lost an important business deal. Kim came back into the office with the lunch. "Here it is," she said with a smile. But her smile faded away quickly, when she saw Isabella's look. "Is there a problem Isabella?""I just lost a very huge business deal," Isabella said. "What?" Kim couldn't believe it. She had no idea. She was Isabella's secretary, how was it possible this happened without her knowledge? Something was not right. Kim's eyes widened in shock. "How could this happen? I thought everything was going smoothly with the deal."Isabella sighed heavily, running a hand through her hair in frustration. "I don't know, Kim. Everything seemed to be on track until I went through these documents just now. There's a loophole that the other party exploited, and now we've lost the deal."Kim's mind raced with possibilities. "Do you think it was intentional? Could someone have sabotaged us?""It's possib
