Elizabeth

“I've watched you for some time, Mrs Rhodes.”She said and I snickered internally.

“And you don't have a job, all you do is stay at home all day and eat. "

I remained silent.

" I'm telling you this because I've taken a liking to you.” I almost laughed.

She likes me yet she has been on my toes since I came here.

" And I see a strong independent woman only if you let yourself be just that. You need to stop depending on your parents or running after men to fund your bills or spreading your legs for any man, especially Eren.”

I scoffed.” I have no business with that man.”

First, I don't run after men to pay my bills, I run after them to destroy them.

She continued." No man would respect you if you can't do the same for yourself. No man would want a woman who can't even take care of herself.”

I could feel the corner of my eyes starting to water. " I never said I wanted a man with much less respect from them.”My voice was now barely a whisper. This was equivalent to saying I

    Elizabeth My fingers worked their way down his shirt till I was done with the last button. Our lips are still playing tangles. He pushed away a little as the material fell to the floor. I drooled at his body. Eren was on the leaner side but he was very muscular. What got my attention was the tattoo of a burning rose on the left part of his chest . It was huge and it spread across his torso in thorn bushes. The person who did this might as well drawn a whole garden on him. His tattoos extend from his collar bone to that smooth v- line . This was the first time I was seeing him without a shirt on. And the view was spectacular. I trailed my hand over the rose stopping at his v- line ,watching his sharp intake of breaths as those smooth abs contracted.He had scars, some long, some short.” What happened?” I asked out of curiosity as I trailed my fingers at them.He held my hand,placing it on one of them.” This is from a knife. I got stabbed and cut open by someon

    ElizabethThe clock was ticking; it was already 11:59. Just a minute more and it would be midnight. I haven't been able to sleep since I read Linnet's text. She had given me tips after I confessed that I had someone obsessed with sleeping with me.She had given me seduction tips and said that if I wanted him to drop at my feet, then I needed to follow some steps. But she did warn me, though.“Don't just put your hope in one man, especially if you're not sure where you both stand. Open the doors for other men, and eventually you'll find one who's going to take you seriously,” she had said over a phone call.“Isn't that cheating?” I asked instead.She clicked her tongue. “It's not if you are not dating. You are simply guarding yourself with multiple options.”I eventually agreed with her, and she lectured me about what I was going to do at the party to attract men towards me.She's pretty knowledgeable in this aspect, and I'm going to take her advice.I'm not hoping in Eren. He only wan

    ElizabethMidnight came. I swear I didn't let him touch me,not after that shit he pulled in the kitchen.I was wearing a onesie. I pulled the blanket to cover my body up to my neck. He lay beside me, laughing and mocking me for covering myself up, saying I was scared of his touch because it would get me wet.In the end, we cuddled, with him either squeezing my ass or my boobs. I woke up late, and Eren was already gone.I got dressed and prepared to go shopping,not with my card; but with Eren's. I took it from him and refused to give it back a few days ago.He can't just barge into my house, touch my ass and boobs, kiss me, bite my neck, sleep in the same bed with me, and expect me not to get a little something in return.I'm going to shop for dresses until his card breaks.Flagging down a cab, I went to the mall.I was wearing jeans and a blouse, then added an extra jacket. I felt insecure at first because I thought my belly would pop out, but when I stared at myself in the mirror b

    ElizabethThere was one time he came past midnight, and I was half asleep, wearing nothing but a thin nightdress. The noise was what woke me up, and I went over to the kitchen to see him drinking my apple juice.At that moment, I felt naked because he stopped drinking to look at me.Shamelessly, he let his eyes roam over my body, stopping at my boobs. Then he told me that he wanted to touch them.He didn't ask; he said he was going to touch them. And then, when he took a step toward me, I ran.I ran out of the kitchen and into my room. I didn't come out till the next morning. This version of Eren was still new to me. He was becoming more brazen every single day, and it was driving me nuts.I had to snap out of my thoughts when the car stopped."Nice house!" Mr Torres complimented.I got out of the car and waved at him. "Thanks for the ride. See you in the next three days.""Wait a minute, I almost forgot to give you this." He spoke, bringing out an invitation from the glove box.I too

    ElizabethA sheepish smile appeared on his face; it made him look like a child."Yeah, I do. One thing you should know is that people from the mafia are not good people."I squinted my brows. "What? People from organisations apart from state security are generally evil. I've read books, so I understand."He nodded in agreement. "Precisely. They just select their targets and eliminate them mostly because they got on their bad side or some other complicated stuff," he continued.My eyes didn't leave him for a second. "And another thing I should know is?"He only smiled. "That will be discussed another day, but I know a few of them."I pouted, just when I was enjoying the conversation. "Not fair."He chuckled. "We're here already, Mrs Rhodes; you don't want us talking about a cult in front of a potential future business partner, would you?"I sighed. "Fine, we'll continue tomorrow.""Tomorrow it is then," he replied, and the car came to a halt.It was then I took in my surroundings and r

    ElizabethI waved at him, smiling sweetly as I got out of the car. Eren had been driving me to work every day, and each day, he had been trying to convince me to quit my job.He had even offered me a credit card and promised to give me two hundred thousand every week.I nearly gave it. As tempting as it was, I refused. I'd be throwing away every single lesson I learned from Mrs. Hamilton if I gave in.I couldn't tell if he was mad at me, but there was this frown on his face as he drove off. He always had a frown on his face whenever he failed to convince me.Stepping into the elevator, my phone vibrated in my handbag. It was my mother calling.I swiped the green button, and her voice rang through. "Hey, dear!""Hi, Mom, I told you not to call this early. I'm at work.""Of which you didn't tell me about till yesterday."I rolled my eyes. "I already apologized for that.""It's alright. I'm happy you're doing great. My baby is finally making her own cash," she squealed.I sighed. "Gosh
