She wanted to scream because the pain was racking. Her breath hitched when he pulled out the fork from her flesh and silent tears escaped her eyes, sinking in to her lap. He cleaned the bloody fork with the tissue and continued to eat his food with the same utensil while she pressed the wound with her hand to stop the bleeding and ease the pain somehow. "Mrs Carter what's wrong? Is the food too spicy?" One of the men who sat right across her noticed her tears and asked her. She lifted her face to look at him and her eyes were red with all the tears while her face flushed. "I guess so, she has no endurance for spice at all" Carter replied to him instead with a huge smile plastering his face. "Then I should order you some dessert" he replied and waved the waiter to come and take his order. In a few moment, chocolate ice-cream was placed in front of her but unfortunately it was not easing the pain which was arising from her wound. As she kept raking the fork in the full plate and w
The next morning she woke up beside him. He was close to her, yet maintaining enough space between them. She took in his features for a moment, he looked ethereal and calm while asleep. How she did not notice it before?He was always this attractive but she was too concerned about her own crown that she never looked beneath her. But something changed about him. He was not that Anthony anymore she insulted so easily back then. That older version of him was vulnerable and weak while this one was ruthless and dominant. He now owned power and it was the most sexy thing about him which attracted her to him. She got up and went into bathroom to take a good warm shower. After taking a painkiller last night, her leg didn't hurt anymore but it was uncomfortable to walk like this. She changed into her suit for the work and got out of the bathroom, only to find Carter absent in the room. He was nowhere in sight as if he just disappeared in 10 minutes. She combed her hair and applied makeup.
As soon she got off the plane, she heaved a sigh of relief. It was a long flight and at every point she underestimated herself, that maybe she won't be ever able to reach her home again. But luckily she escaped Carter and came back to her parents house. She knocked on the door as tears swelled her eyes with happiness. She couldn't believe it that she really made it. He can now go and fuck himself, she thought in resentment as her leg started to hurt with every little step she took. It was after a moment that the door opened and an old woman appeared in the doorway. Her smile faded, knowing that she was not her mother. "Yes?" She asked Veronica. "My parents use to live here! Where are they? Are you newly shifted here?" "Oh yeah, I just moved here. The previous owners just sell this house a month ago " her words shocked her even more. How can they seel this house in which they had been living for all their life?"Can you please give me there contact number or even address?" Veroni
After the unfortunate death of his grandmother he cancelled his flight for the night. He didn't know how many days he would need to recover but he decided not to go until he's full stable. "Let that bitch enjoy a little before I take her life away" he seethed bitterly. Jason hummed in response and left the room after Carter told him to cancel his flight. After that night, he inspected Reynold and his whereabouts. He didn't know why he was doing that but somehow the man touching his woman didn't settle well with him. After a lot of digging he came to know that Reynold belong to his enemies side. He was the part of the mafia which had been stealing their goods for a while. "It'll be good reason to get rid of him" he sneered, sitting alone in his office. "Mr Carter, Miss Ashley is here to see you" his secretary knocked on the door and informed him. "Let her in" he told her. Few seconds after, Ashely walked in wearing the sleek black dress which had no shoulders or sleeves. "You l
It has been a week now and she had been going on very well with her acquaintances. They loved her designs and ideas and she got more and more confident with it. "Miss Veronica, you have been called in the CEO's office" her manager came on the door and informed her. "Everything's alright?" Veronica couldn't help but ask because it was out of ordinary for her. "Seems so, he was very calm about it. But I think you're newly hired so probably because of that, he likes to meet his new employees" she told her and Veronica sighed but her anxiety didn't decrease as she picked up her phone and headed towards the elevator. When she was finally there, she informed his assistant who's desk was right outside his office. And after taking his permission she let him inside the office. As soon she stepped inside she was met with a strong scent manly scent which seemed familiar. She lifted her eyes to take a look at the man who owned this smell. A ticklish feeling ran down her spine when she recog
The very next day he went to his parents house. Even after six years there were not able to change their house and lived in the same shady place. He knocked the door and waited at a distance, wearing his sunglasses so they might not recognise him instantly. An old woman in her late fifties opened the door with shivering hands. "What do you need?" Her first question made him take off his glasses immediately. He didn't answer and just watched her face, her wrinkles and faded skin with aging. She was just like before, it felt like nothing changed except that her skin just aged with the time and she had prominent wrinkles now. "I'm Anthony" he spoke after some time as the woman now also looked at his face with much interest as if she was trying to retrieve her memory and struggling to recognise him. Do five years are enough to make you forget someone? He wondered in bewilderment. "Anthony?" His mother croaked out his name in astonishment as she now looked him from head to toe."Ye
He didn't said a word to her after they got on the plane. He was busy in his work and she was left alone to look out of the window or either go to her room to rest. She didn't even eat anything on her way as it her appetite was lost long ago. They landed after a long way to Italy and felt her heart wrenched with disappointment. What was the use of running away when he already brought her back?Or maybe she was destined to come here. It was when he as usual went to his office. She regretted alot because now she even lost her chance of going to her studio. She shouldn't have run away, now he was going to be hella strict with her. One of the maids made her breakfast and she ate in silence while sitting by the window. Maybe she should take a walk in the garden, she thought. She spent her day arranging her cupboard and cleaning her room. After that she cooked dinner in the kitchen, not particularly for Carter. She heard that Carter's mother grandmother mother passed away and it was awf
She was sore and her legs hurt, she couldn't move herself without difficulty. After having his business done, he already left the room after with plain face. She didn't complain because she certainly needed to be alone. She wanted process all of it. She couldn't comprehend why did he do that all of sudden and didn't even hurt her in the way she expected him to be rather he was gentle and caring throughout. Although he was not such a man. She dragged herself to bathroom so she could wash herself and put on some clean clothes. Maybe some warm shower would help her. All night she kept thinking about that look in his eyes. By any chance, did he have any feelings for her?She was not ready to believe it but the eye contact they held while he dived in to her soul and the same breath they inhaled while gasping in pleasure, and not to forget his eyes became soft for her. Was it all a lie?It can't be!Changing herself into some comfy clothes, she cuddled herself on the couch. She wasn't feel
