Sally felt very tense and self aware . Kalum poured wine into two wine glasses, and he handed her one . She took and drank it in one go. I really need the false confidence alcohol gives , good thing I didn't eat heavy the effect should kick in pretty soon .Kalum laughed, “I have never seen a pretty woman drink a glass of wine in one go .” Sally felt embarrassed but shook it off “ you asked me to come and I'm here let's just get this over with ``.Kalum dropped the wine glass he held and walked to her , she backed away with each step he took till her leg hit the bed frame . He caught her in his left arm before she fell on the bed. “ You seem eager , but I intend to make this last . Everything in my body craves you badly and I'm glad you came to me willingly today . I know I gave you an ultimatum but you and I know you could have refused” . It's actually true , I just don't want to ask Alicia for help and deep down I want the experience of being loved by Kalum . I've always wanted t
Sally woke up stark naked under the white sheets to see daylight reflecting through the window , she sat up and looked beside her the space beside her was empty . Her heart fell. What did I expect ? A love confession , At least the debt is canceled . She thought to herself she grabbed the blanket covering herself , picking her clothes from the ground . She quickly put them on , as she picked up her purse from the night stool and saw a crisp note folded with her name on it . A spark of hope fluttered in her chest , maybe he'll say something sweet and an excuse for leaving me .The note read ;‘ your debt is canceled , don't be late to work and forget about last night . It never happened’. Her heart fell but she quickly recovered from the shock. I should have known back to business already .She picked her phone and walked out of the penthouse to go home and get ready for work . In the elevator her phone beeped. She checked her cell phone , thirteen missed calls from Alicia , fifteen
Dylan must have told him what transpired yesterday ?.Alicia decided to feign false ignorance “ word on what street ?”. Dimitri laughed “ I saw my brother this morning and he told me you and him agreed that a relationship between you both won't be possible due to some circumstances ”“ Yes that conversation did in fact happen , but what makes you think it's an automatic yes for you and I being together? '' she said playfully, rolling her eyes .“ I only played it cool so far because my rival was my brother but if any other person attempts to come between you and I . I will completely crush him ” . Alicia wanted to shake it off or take it as a joke but something in his tone let her know he was crazy serious .“ Well I still feel this conversation is something we should have in person ”“ Absolutely , that reminds me I got your text saying you'll be at Paris too but with your boss for the meeting. Just so you know I feel absolutely uncomfortable with the idea but we've had this conversa
Alexander skipped through the camera footage brought in by the chief security officer but he noticed no footage showed any strange woman Alicia was raving about . More weirdly, the minutes were complete on the footage , he ran his fingers through his hair turning to Alicia.“ Alicia there's no footage of the woman you're describing in the general CCTV .Let me check the CCTV in the hallway ” .Alicia nodded and she willed words to come out of her mouth but no words came out. Alexander noticed her struggle “ don't worry , just calm down we'll get to the bottom of this ”.Alicia hoped he could see her gratitude through her eyes ,“ thank you ” she barely muttered . Alexander nodded in understanding , skipping through his personal CCTV camera of the hallway and finally the woman appeared . “ Got you !” Alexander exclaimed , “ you saw footage of her ?” Alicia said letting out a breath she didn't even realize she was holding .“ Yes , firstly we're going to alert the authorities about this
The close of work finally came to an end and Alicia couldn't wait for the day to be over and the chief assured her Martha would be invited today and detained . But still she was absolutely terrified of being by herself , Alexander really surprised her today despite the circumstance she couldn't help but smile recollecting how he took control of the situation and got to the root of the situation.Could he care for me or he was just being a nice guy . The way he held me and comforted me I've never felt so safe in my entire life . He felt like home literally. “ Are you okay ?” Alexander's deep voice jolted her out of her thoughts.“ Sir …sir I'm fine ” . The look on his face told her he didn't believe her but he quickly covered it with his normal aloof expression . “ Work is over , it's time to head back home . I've made arrangements for security men to guard you round the clock and a personal driver do you have a friend you can could call to stay with you for the night to calm you d
Alicia prior to this moment had only seen the Alexander Kings mansion in featured magazines; it is one of top five most expensive homes in the world . Which Alicia found odd because of how simple the man was in person . Alicia had to close her hanging mouth as they drove into the estate . She thought she was impressed by Christian's mansion but Alexander's mansion was currently blowing her mind .It is magnificent , large , modern , sheek and every bit luxurious even the railings looked like real authentic gold not gold plated.“ We're here ”Alexander said , “ Sir your place is magnificent , it's so beautiful and unreal especially the flowers there about a hundred species the air smells so clean ”.Alexander laughed lightly , it filled his heart with warmth that she loved his place so much she forgot the dynamic of their work relationship and is gushing over it .“ There's actually a fresh spring right at the back of the mountain ” . The expression on her face was priceless . “ I'd r
Alicia opened her eyes , peeking through the thick curtains she saw. It was still very dark , she grabbed her hand bag searching for her cellphone to check the time . Fishing it out she saw the time was 04: 01 .“Shit ” she muttered to herself now she couldn't sleep and would end up feeling exhausted throughout the day . Standing up from the bed she decided to go to the kitchen to get a glass of wine , it'll help her relax and hopefully fall asleep .She shrugged on the robe but decided to not wear it, dropping it in the bed before leaving the room in the short satin nightwear . She almost lost her way to the kitchen but finally found it , she headed to the wine cellar grabbing the first bottle she saw.She grabbed a wine glass from the cabinet , popping the wine open , she poured herself a glass and the bottle clicked against the glass cup. She lifted it to her lips to take a sip .“ Look what we have here ” Alexander's deep smooth voice startled her , it took all her will power to h
Alicia had to wear the same dress she had worn to the office the previous day. One of the maids had washed and ironed it before bringing it to her to wear .Alexander and Alicia also dropped Alexis in school . Alexander explained it was their routine and also a way to spend extra time together . Before getting down she gave them both a kiss which pleasantly surprised Alicia.And till now she could not get over that brief moment in the car , she was currently seated in her office swriling in her office chair imagining being Alexander's wife and Alexis her little girl and they lived happily ever after . When suddenly her door burst open . An angry Dimitri Valentino stood at the door “ what the he** Alica I've been trying to reach you . Why didn't you call me yesterday , I've been worried sick . I went to your apartment with no sign of you , I had to make my findings and I was told you were last seen getting in a car with your boss ” .The last statement sounded more like an accusation t
