He said, "I love her"
"You know you just insinuated that we have sex right?" I ask Charles after the proposal
"I know that very well. I mean the media wants something, I have to make it real"Right. The media. This is all for the news anyway."But we haven't even kissed. And you're insinuating sex""Do you want us to kiss?" He asks with a smirk on his facePervert."I mean how can we have sex when we haven't even kissed?""We could change that" he says, taking slow tentative steps towards me"Change what?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper"Change the fact that we haven't kissed. I could kiss you right now." He keeps coming closer, and I don't move.Because a part of me wants this.Ah, this is crazy.The clearing of a throat breaks the both of us apart like the bolt of a thunder.The increasing rate of my heart beat and how he actually almoRelated chapters
HIDDEN SECRETS The Pain
"Elizabeth" the voice of my mother booms through my silent apartment and that is enough to wake me up immediately. I check my bed clock and it's 7am in the morning. What did I do this time? Oh right. My engagement with Charles. I knew this was bound to happen. I jolt out of bed at another scream of my name and pull my hair into a ponytail. I wash my face and brush my teeth before making it to my living room. "Goodmorning mom" I greet and walk past her into my kicthen, heating up a pot of coffee, I'm going to need it. She's fuming with anger of course, her facial expression shows that she's about to lose it any second. But am I ready for that? No. I mean it's a Sunday morning. I try stalling as much as possible until at least I'm able to down a mug of coffee. "What the hell is this?" She asks, throwing the news papers on the centre table. I pick it up to read it and darn, London can talk. They have some interesting headlines over here.
HIDDEN SECRETS The Betrayed Unforgiver
The bright morning light shines through the red curtains in my bedroom. The intrusion cuts off my sleep and I roll out of bed. Saying a word of prayer for seeing such a wonderful day, I hope for the best as I get ready for work. After another almost kiss with Charles yesterday, there's been this heavy awkward tension between us. We watched the Notebook alright, we laughed, and ate our dinner and drank our wine. But the wide space between us on the couch spoke otherwise of our relationship, or lack there of. I guess it's good that it didn't happen after all, I am not sure that I am ready to have that kind of intimacy with him. Let's face it, we might have grown closer in a short period of time, but I don't know Charles that well, therefore I don't think it's appropriate to jump into any sort of relationship with him. Sometimes it's not all about what we want, it's about what is right. ☆▪☆ Arriving at work, I keep my head hel
HIDDEN SECRETS The Touch
"Elizabeth" Charles mentions, after I answer the call."Charles"Even on phone, that tension is still thick. So thick I could cut it with a knife."You're a touch of gold." My heart speeds up its beating. It is words like these, that mess with my heart."Why thank you" I grin"Although we aren't married, my father, along with the board of directors have agreed to give me the oppurtunity to assume office as the official CEO of Frost Capital""Wow" I squeal. "That's amazing Charles. I am so happy for you. Congratulations""I couldn't have done this without you. Thank you so much for agreeing to do this Elizabeth""It wasn't much really, but you're welcome""Have you closed from work?""Yeah, I'm packing up my stuff right about now. Why?""How about I take you out on a date?"Where there'll be an almost kiss again?
HIDDEN SECRETS The ex in the past
"Hey" Charles greets, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind. A grin makes its way on my face immediately and I turn around to face him.He pecks me before I'm able to say anything else. The action takes me completely off guard and I inhale a sharp breath."Charles, we're in public" I scold. The ball was held today. The ball where he'll be introduced as the new CEO. I asked him if they hold balls for everything, and he answered "if it's necessary"."And who said I can't show love to my fiancée whether or not we're in public" he smirks before kissing me again, only this time, he prolongs it.The clearing of a throat pulls us apart, but Charles keeps his hold on me."Although I'm in a relationship, you guys make me feel single" Benjamin comments and I chuckle"Eliiiiizzaaabbbeeettthhhh.... heelllllooo" a female voice says out of nowhere, pulling me into a hug."Umm... hi" I c
HIDDEN SECRETS The Holy Matrimony
"My dear, in this life, it's my biggest aim to support my children in all that they do. You my dear, have been through a lot to get to where you are today. And I am so proud of you, you don't know how much I love you and how proud I am to call you my daughter. I know with time, in your own time, you'll say everything you need to, but as of now, I am happy that you're marrying an amazing person like Charles Frost. I wish you all the happiness life has to offer, and I hope, that you'll live life the way you deserve" my father says and pulls me into a hug. I chuckle, trying to restrain myself from crying. "Veronica will kill me if I mess up this makeup" I dab under my eyes with my index finger and sniffle "Thank you so much dad, for believing and trusting in me. I know mom is still angry" "She'll come around" he says and I nod, hugging him again. "My turn my turn my turn" I know this voice so well. "Diane" I
HIDDEN SECRETS The Honeymoon Talk
"So when are the babies coming?" Veronica asks, snapping at her nails. My eyes turn as wide as saucers, and I burst out laughing. "What babies?" "The babies you and Charles are going to make" she looks at me like 'did you seriously just ask me that?' "Sorry to burst your bubble but there are no babies" I say with a laugh. I glance around at the reception, how well everyone is enjoying themselves. I see Diane and Benjamin bickering, again. Ever since they met earlier today, they haven't gotten along. The first argument was about which team was better, Liverpool or Manchester United. Which to me was so off topic. I mean you just met, talk about what you do or something. Football, really? When did Diane even become a football fan? "Okay, tell me, you guys kissed today at the wedding, and that kiss was too deep and intense to be a first kiss... have you guys kissed before and you haven't told me?" She asks and oh oh
HIDDEN SECRETS The Desire
I know I said I didn't fancy Pakistan being the potential place for us to spend our honeymoon but I've enjoyed the place since we arrived yesterday.When we arrived, Charles and I decided to stay in. We watched movies, ordered food, made out, talked about anything and everything we came up with. But today, he had to attend the launch and branch opening of the new company over here. He begged me to come along but I didn't want to. I've been around too many people lately and my introvert self needs some space and some time alone from everyone. So I decided to use the day to roam around and do some sight-seeing. It's been so fun and I actually love this place.With my thoughts roaming and hands full of shopping bags, I bump into someone."I am so sorry" I apologize immediately, "I wasn't looking""It's okay" the stranger says and I look up, seeing him wearing glasses, which makes it almost difficult to see who he really is. "Just be c
HIDDEN SECRETS The Aftermath
Sex means different things to different people. For me, I was anxious and somewhat, scared. The flashbacks of what went on between Charles and I comes into my mind every time I think about it. It causes me to blush and feel deeply shy for no reason. It sounds unbelievable, but during the eight years that Ryan and I were together, we never had sex. We never got that far. I was never interested in getting that far. And he knows it. I didn't want to have sex before marriage, and I made that very clear. So after a few failed attempts of trying to coerce me into sleeping with him, he gave up. Knowing my mind was set, it was not going to happen. And yes, it has occurred to before. A lot of times actually, that it may just have been the reason why he slept with Eva, because he probably didn't get from me what he wanted. But each and everyday, I'm glad of the decision I made. Charles was astonished, that I hadn't slept with anyone. That at twenty five, I
