“How could you?!” I exclaimed immediately I stepped into his office.“Woah, you got a feisty one. Leonard “ an attractive aged man with grey hair and an arm tattoo said. The grin on his face interfered with my thoughts. He was dressed casually in a plain black sweatshirt and jeans.“Miss Pronto, Mr. Anthony “ Leo introduced with a stoic expression on his face.“Why so formal, Leonard?" he said as he stood up and approached me. He had a limp to his walk but asides that he still looked good."Anthony Shiva, you?"he asked as I stopped staring at his leg. Shiva. That means he was family to Leo."I am Sophia Pronto. " I replied as he held my hand gently and laid a kiss on it."Pleasure to meet you milady." A charmer. It seemed it ran in the family."Thank you" I said quietly as I retrieved my hand from his"Stop it uncle, you're scaring her" Leo said with a sigh and a frown as he looked at his uncle with annoyance."I'm not scared and I can speak for myself" I quickly stated. I was still m
“I need you here in the next forty five minutes Miss Pronto” Leo said on the phone call.“Saturday is not a working day, sir” I replied wearily as I yawned once more.“Not for you. You wanted to do your job as a professional. Be here as soon as possible ““Fine” I said as I hung up the call.My phone rang again and I answered.“What was that for?” He questioned.“You weren’t done talking?” I asked in confusion.“I was, but I end the calls Miss Pronto” he stated arrogantly.“You interrupted my sleep to say this?” I snapped angrily as I heard him scoff .“Look-“ I began as he cut the call.I hated how easily he riled me up. I rushed into the shower to freshen up.It wasn’t long before I was ready, I put on a simple baby pink gown and my black plumps. I cringed at how worn out the dhows looked but since I had no choice, I had grabbed my bag and went to the kitchen.“Mom, I’m heading out!” I shouted from the kitchen. There was no answer.I frowned at the silence. I knew Stan went for his
Nope”“What do you mean?” I asked in surprise“This is pretty” I added“I know but it’s not for you” he said to me. This was the 25th dress I had put on, we’ve made two choices but somehow, that’s not enough for him. Leo wanted one more dress.“Julie!” He called“Yes sir?”“Bring the next best thing” he demanded“This is the last collection for this line” she said to him as he nodded at the choices.“Check these five dresses out “ he said to me as I took them and went back into the dressing room“I’m tired “ I complained to him after the third trial.“Just two more, then we can head out”Jolie!, I I need help with the zip.” I shouted from the dressing room as I waited for her.The dress was cobalt blue, ,silky material that snatched at my figure but loosened at my feetI felt the zip slowly pull up, before looking at the mirror and realizing it was Leonard behind me.“Jolie left to attend some other client” he said to me as his fingers traced slowly the revealed skin at my lower back.
I felt the cold air hit my body as I stood slowly and headed towards the bathroom.Half asleep, I washed my face and took a moment to take in my appearance and surroundings.We were back at the house it seemed.I stood only in an oversized T-shirt. My undies no where to be found.Hopefully we didn’t do anything I would regret later or desire.Gosh, he looked so yummy last night.I brushed my teeth with the new toothbrush I found in the cabinet as I remembered that I was supposed to go home last night.I rushed to get my phone when I realized Leonard wasn’t in bed.I woke up alone.My heart dropped and I felt awkwardly sad.I enjoyed last night so much, and somehow I convinced myself to accept my feelings for Leo.I brushed my feelings aside and checked my call logs.11 missed calls from Stan.Panic rushed in, as my thoughts anxiously wondered what could have happened.I redialed his number, praying for all to be well.He didn’t pick.Without hesitation, I changed into casual wear. Wit
“Sophia, you’re back so soon” my mom said with a smile.She was to be discharged today by evening and she looked far much better.“Yes, mom” I replied as I dropped my bag and keys on the table.“These flowers are pretty “ I said as I sniffed them. They smelt wonderful.Pink tulips were one of my favorites.“I think so too” my mom concurred.“Who got them for you?, the nurses?” I asked as I racked through my bags looking for my reading glasses.“No, Brian” she said as I froze.“What?”I questioned with a frown.“Yes, he got them. Such a sweet boy “ she said.She wasn’t aware of the break up, only Stan was.“No, mom. He’s not “ I replied with a sigh.“Oh. He’s not?” She asked in confusion.“There he is!” She continued as she pointed at the door.Brian stood with his once full and long blonde hair, now in a buzz cut.He kept short beards and his body seemed more muscular.“What are you doing here?” I asked dismissively.“I came to see Grace, heard she was sick”“Who told you that?”“Does
He’s unavailable for now” Natasha said as I rolled my eyes.That’s been her excuse for the past three days.Leo has been dismissive and aggressively focused on work.I spent more time in the office because that’s the only time I can spend with him.“Let me go in, please “ I pleaded with annoyance.“I don’t recommend-““We both know he needs someone to talk to” I interrupted.“It’s affecting his work, and you know he won’t ask for help” I added persistently.“His work is not affected ““You weren’t around when we had the board meeting on Thursday”“Okay and?” She asked with a cocked brow.“The merger meeting on Tuesday morning ““Go straight to the point”“It’s becoming noticeable, something is going on with Leo and you know it”“Mr. Shiva is unavailable for now” she stated again as she stood firmly in front of the entrance.I sighed heavily at her adamant behavior.“I’m just trying to help” I calmly said.“Like I said-“ she started“What’s happening here?” I turned to face the owner o
"Hello father” Leo greeted as we approached his parents. They looked rich and classy with their surely expensive attires.“Maria” he added , as his step mother sipped from her champagne flute.“Leonard” Jared, Leo's father said. He looked tall and handsome in his maroon tuxedo which matched his light brown eyes. I presumed Leo got his hazel eyes from his mother as I noticed also, the blue eyes of Maria.“It’s good to see you again” Jared added.“Yes. It’s been a while” Leo replied.“Years, my dear." Maria added“Who is this?” She asked as her eyes scrutinized my figure. I felt self conscious.“I am Sophia Pronto, ma’am “ I said with a muster of courage.“You are welcome to the Shiva party” she said.“Yes, thank you” I said with a light smile.“So, what’s your relationship with my step son?” She asked me.“Maria" Jared said in attempt to mute the choice of topic.“I’m curious ““Well I’m his girl-“ I started to reply.“Assistant “ Leo interrupted.“Girl-assistant?” Jared asked with a q
“Allicent!” Leo said in annoyance.“Don’t cause a scene, I’ll be back” he said to me.“Don’t bother” I said.“What?”“I’m going home”“Sophia ““Don’t fucking touch me!”I snapped angrily.“Sophia?” I heard the small voice of Tiffany say as I sighed heavily, before walking out.Don’t cry…Don’t cry…My hands trembled as I bit into my lips hard in an attempt to hold back the tears.“Ma’am?”“Edgar.”“I’ll take you home.” Edgar said to me in a calm tone.“You don’t have to”I muttered as I bent my head to hide my expression.“I know, but it’s late.”“Please, let me help” he added.“Okay”The drive home was quiet as we arrived at my home.“Thank you, Edgar”“You’re welcome “ he replied as I gathered my items and began towards my front porch.“Miss Pronto!”“He says sorry. Mr. Shiva.” He told me as I nodded and entered into my home.I heard the car zoom off as I sat slowly on the floor.I stared at the carpet for a while before the tears flowed freely.I couldn’t hold it anymore.My throat
“What’s your relationship with my son?” Jared asked me.“We are dating. ““Do you love him?”“I don’t think I can say exactly that at the moment “ I replied with an awkward laugh.“Does he love you?”“I’m not sure ““Are you falling in love with him?” He asked as his brows scrunched up. His grey hair was tied up in a low bun which brought out his strong masculine features.“Yes”“End it” he stated as his light brown eyes gleamed under the sunlight.“What?” I asked in surprise.“End it now, before it’s too late ““I don’t understand “ I said as I frowned in confusion.“You wouldn’t, it’s your background”“Sir-““How much?” He cut me off as my mouth fell open at the realization of what his question meant.“Sir-““A million”“What?”“Four million ““No!” I exclaimed angrily.“Ten?” He asked with a raised brow.“So ten then” he added as he brought out a pen and his cheque booklet.“I’m not some cheap skank that you can get rid off” I snapped angrily.“I’m not calling you any names, I’m se
“I am going golfing” Leo said as he came out of his office.“Oh, again?”“Again?” He asked with a grin on his face.“I last went to on Monday” he said.“Yeah”“Today is Friday”“You love the sport?” I asked as I noticed his golf fit. Blue looked good on him.“I guess, my father made sure of it”“So it’s a family thing?”“Yes, if you want to call it that”“Well I want to join you” I stated as he frowned.“I don’t think that’s a good idea ““Why?”“I just don’t think so”“You are hiding something from me I know it”“Look Sophia, my family tends to give me unnecessary problems and I want you far from them”“But still, you’ve been hanging out with your family and going for family business these past couple of weeks”“You’re so secretive about it” I complained.“That’s because I’m not a loud mouth”“Neither am I “ I added.“Let me join you please. I can stick with Tiffany” I pleaded as I stood at his side.“It’s not that serious Sophia.”“It’s just golfing”“More reason i should join you”
I found myself pressed against the wall with my legs wrapped around his waist and his lips romancing my neck.I moaned at the sweet sensation as he his other hand held me up awhile the other massaged my breasts.It didn’t take long before we were both naked in bed, most in the feeling of each other’s body.“I want to be on top” I said breathlessly in his ear as his fingers moved back and forth inside me.“I’m being serious” i stated as he looked at me with disbelief.He pulled his body weight off mine and laid on the bed.I smiled at his compliance and straddled his body.My entrance exactly at his crotch, I smiled at his expression.He looked excited and it rubbed off on me.I positioned myself properly and slid onto his shaft.The moan escaped my lips before I could comprehend.Slowly I moved up and down as he tightened his grasp on my waist.His breathing labored and his lips fell open with his head backwards, I took control and increased my pace.“Sophia” he moaned lowly as I reac
"You look beautiful “ Leo said as I approached him in my emerald green sleeveless gown.“You look beautiful too”I said absentmindedly as I gawked at his fresh look. He looked good in a simple black suit yet it seemed expensive.“Thank you” he said as he laughed at my response.“You look handsome “ I corrected and sat down at the seat he led me to.“I ordered a bottle of wine already, if you don’t mind”“Red?” I asked him.“No, white”“Excellent” I said approvingly.“I don’t fancy red wine” I added as he nodded.“I prefer red, if I am being honest ““I’m not surprised” I told him with a chuckle as his brows arched.“You take your coffee, black” I continued.“That like psychotic”“You’re over exaggerating, love” he said with a light smile.“I know. Just teasing ““You’re in a good mood” he mentioned.“Yeah, I guess”“I like that”“So tell me, anything I don’t know about you yet?”I asked him.“Well, I do smoke cigarettes “ he replied as i let out a gasp.“I’m not an addict or anything” h
“Oh my goodness, these are beautiful!” Paris shrieked with glee as I unboxed the gifts in her presence.“Forgive him please” she continued as she tried on the bracelets excitedly.“I will”“I don’t know if it’s too soon” I added.“Sophia, stop being anxious and just breathe “ she told me.“Okay”“Do you have feelings for him?” She asked.“Yes”“Do you miss him?”“Yes ““Well then, there’s nothing to be scared of” she advised.“I say give it another shot” she said as she tried on the necklace in front of the mirror.“But what if-““It doesn’t matter, if you have feelings for him already but if it doesn’t work out . I’m here to help you heal and move on” she said placing everything back into their respective boxes.“I know, Paris. Thank you” I said to her with a smile.“I’m so happy for you girl, it’s been so long ““Especially after that douche bag, Brian” she said with a scoff as we both laughed after.“That’s very true” I remarked.“I don’t wanna be late to the airport” Paris said as
