I stared at the parcel on my bed with a frown on my face. What am I to do? I couldn't possibly wear this myself, right? I mean I'm no female.
Oh God! I wished I had thought this through before rushing into the mall to get her this dress. Knowing how we are right now I doubt she would accept this from me. Oh! Victor, you could be naive at times! I screamed at myself while running my hands through my hair in frustration.
“ Victor, darling. Are you almost done?”
I shrug out of my thoughts as a wide smile spreads through my lips having found the perfect solution to my problem. God! Why didn't I think of that? I could have saved myself the headache of worrying.
“ Almost, Mom but you can come in,” I called to my
I stared at Victor like I couldn't believe what he just told me. I mean I could never believe that. Was this one of his plans? Is he trying to get me in his bed? But____“ Please, Valerie. I need you to help me?” His strain voice cut through to me as I turned to stare at him, his eyes were narrowing and he kept breathing profusely. Is he really sick?“ No, Valerie. You can't believe him. Have you forgotten how he lied to you?” My subconscious screams at me.“ I'm sure you don't expect me to believe that, right? I mean you have a fiance. Surely it will be best if you go to her. Morever______''“ You think I don't know that” He screamed at me, his blazing hot as I saw th
“ Beep! Beep!! Beep!!”Fuck! I swore in anger as I rolled off the bed, trotting to my office where my phone was ringing non stop.“ Who the heck calls someone this early in the morning without battling a beat. I growled angrily as I picked up the phone only to discover that it was my brothers calling.“ Hello, brothers. Finally, remember me?” I called sarcastically into the phone. I can't believe they were calling me today after promising to come speak to dad now it was too late.“ Hello, Victor. I see you still have a sharp tongue” My big brother, Michael exclaimed as I could hear his laughter through the phone.“ I still do. I'm so angry at you guys” I glare at him, taking the phone with me I stroll to stand in front of the window.Michael heaved a loud sigh before he continued“ It's not my fault. The kids are still in school, I'm only waiting for them to be on break then we could all come over to New York”“ That's not an excuse” I scoffed into the phone, angry at him“ You're only
The soft snore coming from Victor who was sprayed tiredly on the bed beside me caused me to turn to take a last look at him. My heart contristed painfully as I looked at him. I loved him. I wasn't even shocked by that. I mean, I knew I was still in love with him and after tonight...I don't think I would ever stop loving him. I drew the sheet closer to my body as I turned to take in the time by the bedside Alarm. It was some minutes past six. I could go home now. Only Maria will be awake by this time.I sprawled one leg off the bed and tried to get up wincing at the slight pain in my thigh. The pain evident from the number of times Victor had taken me all through the night.Watching him sleep so soundly and at peace cause me to blush red. I never expected any of this to happen but I couldn't say I regret it___ I would rather have my first time with Victor than with anybody.Shrugging out of the thoughts, I strolled back to his office to gather my clothes. I got into them quickly as I
“Mom, I’m home” I called into the house, surprised at its silence. It was like no one lived here.I stepped into the house and walked through the deserted sitting room still confused why the whole house was quiet like a graveyard.I was about to go up the stairs to my room when Maria stepped in from the kitchen, she was holding a cooking spoon in her hands.I immediately smiled on seeing her and turned away from the stairs going to meet her at the kitchen’s entrance. I was happy partly because I was finally going to see Valerie again after last night. I couldn’t contain my excitement as my mouth widened in a happy manner.“Maria,” I called with so much enthusiasm in my voice causing Maria to raise her eyebrow at me.“Isn’t today a wonderful day?” I asked her stepping into the kitchen while she followed behind me. The smile dropped from my face as soon as I registered the empty kitchen. No one was in the room except for Maria. Not even the woman I was dying to meet.I turned to Maria i
I sat gazing out of the tiny window in the maids’ quarters. I was bored out of my mind. I had changed out of my dress and was now donning the maid uniform. I was reluctant to go out since I wasn’t sure what my duties were anymore and it was getting late.I could understand why Mrs Thompson banned me from Victor’s room but still couldn’t understand why she would ban me from the kitchen. Could she possibly think that I could poison them? I would never have done that to them even if I was paid. She was like a mother to me. They were all like my family.I turned to look at my phone lying on the bed. I picked it up and opened the messaging app to check if I had missed any message, something I had been doing the past hours but there was none. Except for the message from Lavelle apologising for being a bad date
I knocked at the door with an overly beating heart. I was scared at what awaited me on the other side of the room. A part of me wish that she had forgotten about our supposed meeting and instead had gone to bed but that wasn’t the case I heard her call “Come in”I stepped into the room which was dark except from the light pooling from the midnight into the room. The breeze billows the light curtains as they dance bringing in the fresh breeze from the pool. I shiver not from the cold but from anticipation of what was to come.My eyes took in the room from the painting of angels surrounded by children. I smiled as I remember Mrs Thompson telling me how she had toured the countries for that painting only to discover that it was made by her daughter in law, Skylar.
I turned around the bed reluctant to get up. I was scared of waking up into another day without having Valerie beside me. I couldn't help thinking back to my last message to her last night.Truth was, I was so angry at how she had slept with me and asked for money from my mom in return. A part of me didn't want to believe it but another part knows that there wasn't any woman in this world who would turn down money for a man.I picked up my phone which was lying on the bedside drawer, I lifted it up to see that it was almost noon. My head hurt like hell; I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I open up the message app to see that she hasn't replied to my message. I knew she wouldn't accept my offer of a sex slave. Truth is, I would really have wanted her to accept it. I wasn't ready to let her go yet. I wanted to keep her with me e
As soon as I saw Victor almost running out of the room. I knew I had hurt him deeply. I wanted to shout out loud, tell him it was all a lie. I wanted to tell him that I love him but Mrs. Thompson kept shaking her head at me. I couldn't let him risk his inheritance because of me. So, I had to be strong.I looked away from his retreating back as I turned to look at Lavelle whose hands were still on my back. I removed his hands from around me, placing it on my palm, I forced a smile on my face. Truth is, his touch repulses me. I hated how he made me feel as he drew circles at my back. I wanted to lash out at him and warn him never to touch me again but I held back my tongue because Aunt Becca and Mrs. Thompson were watching us closely.“So that’s settled then, you both are coming with us on our date” Tianna was saying
