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
She turned around to face him and his eyes were shot red. Her lips trembled as she coerced out the words, "I'm sorry, I should get going now" saying that she tried to scurry away but he grabbed her arm and made her stay put in the place. "You came as per your choice but will go with mine" he said in a monotone making her flinch. "By the way, do you like the paintings? I got them made with great effort. Hired the best artist from Italy, then gathered your pictures and see? They look like some masterpiece!" He took her close to the wall painting as they both stood in front of it now. He caressed the scratchy surface of the canvas with his hand and then bought his hand to her cheek making her step back but in the end he rubbed the same hand against her cheek forcefully. "I prefer the real version!" He whispered and laughed loudly, placing her head against his shoulder as he inhaled the scent off her hair. She didn't know what to feel, her feelings were conjured up in the bottom of
She was done, she was over past his dirty tactics of hurting her cruelly every time. She knew what she had to do now. Divorce!That was the only fucking way to get rid of him and hide somewhere in the world where he won't be ever able to see her. She will run off to Spain, south Asia or wherever the hell he won't ever step. She dialled the number of her friend who was a legal lawyer dealing with domestic issues. She told him that she needs some divorce papers to be made within a week and she can submit whatever fees it would require. Her friend assured her that it will be done before a week but she will need to state the reason of her divorce very clearly and might need to prove it in the court. She agreed to her terms but Veronica knew well that the matter will never be able to reach court as he would already but everything with one click and the divorce papers will disappear. So she made sure that the divorce papers reach her first and she will be the first one to sign. All th
"hello Ashley! How's it going?" He called her the very next day while sitting in his office. "Oh I've trapped Reynold on my fingertips. I told ya it's going to work out perfectly. I've taken some information outta him and I'm going to send it to you in a while! Check and praise me man!" She told him and the sound of her laughter resonated through the phone. "Well that's pretty clever! I surely need to praise you for that, so how about a dinner at my house tomorrow night?" He asked hesitatingly. "You sure man? Your wife's not gonna mind? She might get doubt you!" She replied. "Well what if I say that she has insisted me on this? Would you come? And we're obviously not gonna fuck in that house beneath her nose!" He embarked and she laughed loudly, unable to take the last sentence well. She couldn't stop laughing because the first reason also sounded absurd to her. Why would Veronica call another woman belonging to his husband in her own home? To judge their behaviour of suspect the
The very next day, she made all the arrangements for the perfect dinner. Carter as always was in his office so she sneaked into her bathroom and pulled out the papers. She signed them with the pen and then pasted a sticky note on them for Carter to read. She placed the papers back into the secret place as she will only take them with her when the right time will arise. She didn't expect that Ashley would agree so easily and especially Carter who always suspected her for everything. But last night his words hit her somewhere they shouldn't. He doubted her feelings for him, he denied bluntly that she ever loved him. Did she really not love him?She didn't know but what she felt after seeing him as a decent man, she named it love. She said she loved him because he confessed his feelings first for her. But now the mixed feelings of hatred couldn't be named as love. His words made her ponder on herself that if she really ever love him. And the answer was uncertain. She didn't know i
