Illicit Affairs The Interview
Bella sighs looking at her reflection in the mirror. She's been standing here for last half an hour without doing anything. She feels so nervous. She has an important interview for job today...and it's going to be for one of the most well known companies in the US. She thought she has no chance there because she just graduated three months ago. She has literally zero experience in working fields. But her mom, Andrea persisted her to take the opportunity. Bella herself got some confidence as well when they said they are interested in some fresh new employees. She parts her red hair slightly and combs it with her fingers to make it look more natural and fluffy.She needs this job. Badly.She finishes getting ready and takes her files from the table. She puts on her high heels and hurries downstairs."Bye mom, I'm leaving," She says shortly after giving her a hug."Good luck honey," Andrea gives her a kiss, "
Illicit Affairs First Day
Today is Bella's first day at the office as an employee. She was late yesterday so she doesn't want to make the same mistake again today. She still can't believe she got the job even after being so late at the interview. She honestly messed up. Maybe her manifestations are working after all. I wish I could tell him why I was so late. She sighs while washing her hair. After coming out of the shower, she puts on her black turtleneck dress. She curls her red hair on the edges slightly and puts on some makeup for the office look. She hopes everything goes well today.______________________________________Asher wakes up feeling the same tension inside his head again. He keeps having these weird dreams these days where he'd see his wife cheating on him with some random guys. He looks beside to see his wife sleeping peacefully next to his body. But her sweet face gives him anxieties. He always feels like she's not happy with him. She's
Illicit Affairs The Lunch
The next day, Bella manages to be in the office before Asher. She didn't forget to buy the coffee and has perfectly scheduled his day. She has also brought homemade food to prove her boss wrong. She can already feel that today is going to be a great day. She will be unstoppable today.Few minutes later, Asher steps inside the office, so Bella hurries to go and greet him. She follows him like a lost puppy and enters his office."Good morning, Sir.""Morning Bella.""Here's your coffee," She places it on his table. He doesn't even say a 'thank you'."And here's your schedule for today," She says but he's still busy on his phone. Is he going to say something or not? She waits for five damn minutes."Sir?""Asher?""Blondie?" Bella speaks out to examine if he's paying attention to her or not. From the neutral look of his face, she can tell tha
Illicit Affairs The House
It's been almost three hours and Asher still hasn't showed up in the office today. Bella sits on her desk and bites her nails being nervous. She agreed to help him yesterday. Well it was a clever decision since he said that she doesn't need to finish all of the papers if she agrees to help him. That sounds like a manipulation as well. But...nevermind. She still wonders what his plan is going to be though. Imagine if he asks her to murder his wife? Well no, stop, you're going too far now. She sighs dropping her head on the desk and stays like this for few minuets. But Asher still doesn't show up. She opens her laptop and starts scrolling through his schedules. The office is a little bit chaotic today, given the fact that he hasn't come yet. Few minuets later, Nick shows up in front of her desk. Bella puts her phone down lazily and smiles at him. "Hi," She mumbles softly. "Hey, what are you doing here al
Illicit Affairs The Plan
"Good morning sir," Bella greets Asher the next day, as he arrives in the office. He just nods and enters his room without saying anything. She follows him behind. What happened at his house yesterday just changed her perspective towards him. She used to see him as a pathetic strict boss but now she can see how he's just a helpless victim. He's adopted. His dad abuses him both mentally and physically. His wife is cheating on him. God knows what else is going on in his life.Even after having so much of wealth, he's the unhappiest person she has ever seen. She felt it last night when he cried on her shoulder. She could see the pain in his eyes. It made her heart wince with ache too. She desperately wanted to take this pain away from him. She doesn’t know why she feels so invested in his life but...she is."What's my schedule for today?" Asher asks placing his bag down."I didn't allow much work today sir. You just nee
Illicit Affairs The Nightmare
"This place is actually a secret. Nobody except for my trusted bodyguards know that I've rented this apartment," Asher tells Bella as they enter the living room."Well now I know too," Bella chuckles while eyeing the vintage apartment. It seemed smaller from the outside look but it's actually a huge place. Of course, a man like him wouldn't stay in a small apartment. He literally lives in a palace most of the times."Yeah you do. Better keep it a secret.""Of course, sir," She smiles nervously. An awkward silence arrives between them. What does she do now? Bella starts wondering. Should she sit down? Or...take a look at the whole house? No that's a bit too much. Why's he not saying anything?"Make yourself comfortable miss Jones. I'll bring us some snacks," He speaks up being awkward."But we just ate at the restaurant sir.""Oh...yeah right."She smiles a
Illicit Affairs The Mistress
"What?""What what?""Why are you looking at me like that?""Like what?""What were you doing in my room?""You were screaming in your sleep.""Was I screaming for you to come and lay down on the bed with me?""Sir...""Explain...""You were crying and shouting so I thought of checking up on you. You were the one who pulled me to the bed...""I told you not to come to my room.""Yes but you were crying in the sleep.""It happens all the time miss Jones, I'm used to it but I'm not used to the affection...It's fine anyway, I should've warned you about this. Listen if next time I act like that in my sleep don't bother to calm me down. I'll eventually get tired and sleep again," He mumbles while taking a sip of his morning coffee in the dining area."WHAT?
