His past and a new promise
“Done!”
“Done here!”
“All done!”
A man lifted his thumb up.
“Everyone, brace yourselves!”
Men started running and hiding behind cars, some behind trees and some behind piles of bricks. As for me, I had a mountain shielding me from any harm's way even better than those men.
“Mr. King Jr, sir! Wouldn't you care to shield yourself?” I asked the mountain.
In response, he only puffed his chest out.
I took that as a no and cowered back behind him with my hands on my ears.
“Sir?” Fabio called, asking for permission.
Hunter gave a nod of his head.
“Everyone in position?” Fabio's voice rose in order for everyone to hear.
A unison of yes emitted from around the place.
“Boom!” He ta

I stood in front of the glass wall in the new building the Kings Corp. was working on. Most of the things here were made of glass, almost like an exotic glass house. I watched the reflection of Hunter talking with the builders on the glass. We were here for inspection. Well, he was here for inspection. He wanted everything to be pitch perfect since it was one of the top projects for the company. Thus, pointing out even the slightest of the mistakes, he sent them off to fix everything.My lips curved into a smile. He actually looked cute inspecting and directing like a tough old grandpa. All he was missing now was a cane and some gray hair or perhaps, no hair at all. An involuntary chuckle left my lips, and I quickly clamped a hand around my mouth.He slowly turned towards me and cocked his head, an eyebrow arched, “Is there something funny?”I shook my head and gulped when he started walkin
Married to A Cruel Billionaire Stripping in the back of the car
'Love can thaw what hatred has congealed', my mother always said.All the things that happened with Hunter in the past had filled him with hatred, turning him cold and heartless. If I had to bring his better self back, I would have to thaw his frozen heart. Yup, just like Anna and Kristoff from Frozen. But nope, a simple true love's kiss won't work in this case. It'll be a long hair-pulling, teeth-gritting and foot-stomping process.“Take off your shirt,” I said for the third time.“No.”“How am I supposed to treat you otherwise?”He took a hold of his sleeve and gave a hard tug, the fabric coming off with a ripping sound as his physiognomy turned into a smug.My lips tilted into a smirk, “Is Hunter King shy?” I wiggled my eyebrows at him.His facial feature turned stony in a matter of seconds. “Four minutes.”

My eyes were begging to close since I didn't get even an ounce of sleep last night preparing the presentation, and my palms were sweating.How was I supposed to do it when I had never done it before and with so much attention on me?My eyes fell on Mr. Vincent Denver sitting across me giving me a reassuring smile while Hunter sat at the head of the table sending me a look that screamed, 'Mess it up, and you are dead.'"Hello, everyone!"

I stared at his forest green eyes which were glaring at me in return. "Why, Caleb?""I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything," he said diverting his gaze away from me."Don't lie. You were the last one to have my laptop," I pressed."I told you I didn't d-""The file didn't disappear itself," I cut him off. I was getting frustrated over this. I checked my laptop just before I left it to him, and the file was still there. It only disappeared after I got it back from him."It did!" he snapped. "Because of your carelessness. I wonder why the boss would keep such a useless fool in the job," he spat out, giving me a disgusted look from head to toe.My blood boiled. "What the hell is your problem?

I stood at the entrance of my room flabbergasted as my eyes scanned the five suitcases that had been packed for me. I averted my gaze to the pack of weird creatures sprawled on my bed exhausted from their weird activity.Since I was busy at work, and Hunter refused to give me another day-off I asked my beloved crew consisting Karen, Anna and Beth to pack for me with Donna's help. Yes, Anna and Beth had been introduced to Karen, and she instantly formed a gang of us.Noticing me Donna immediately pointed a finger at the other three miscreants."Are you guys going as well?" I asked.Beth lifted her head a bit from her awkward lying position, "No? You're going.""You mean all these bags are mine?" I asked pointing at the suitcases, eyebrows raised.Karen sat up with a duh face, "Of course! After all, you're going to your honeymoon,

My hands shot up clasping my head. "Ahh... My brain hurts!""Oh ma'a- I mean Ember, you got a brain freeze. J-Just wait here. I'll be right back." Her footsteps fade away."Duhmm...!" I moaned in pain when another deep voice startled me."What happened here?"I looked up and found those fascinating sea-green eyes scanning me all over, hints of worry visible in between his brows.Was Hunter King worried? For me?"She ate a li'l too much ice cream and got a brain freeze, sir," Megan spoke, hurrying towards me and handing me a warm mug. "Here. Drink this, and you'll feel better."Quickly I took a big sip and leaned back in relief as the hot chocolaty liquid calmed the frozen nerves inside my mouth.Hunter eyed the trolly in front of me, his eyes widening by a fraction of

Knock knock..."Mr. King Jr.! Ember, darling! Aren't you awake yet?"Our eyes went wide. Hunter flipped us over untangling the blanket and got up pushing me off him. Letting out a sigh of relief I got up as well. I forgot I had morning breath that certainly didn't smell like fresh mint as him.Peeking from the door I saw a familiar face. "Mrs. Arthur!""Oh, Ember, darling!" She wrapped her hands around me in a bone-crushing hug. "So nice to see you again." Letting go she looked at us both lovingly. "Awe, look at you two love birds! Wearing his clothes."I looked down at my over-sized garments. "I uh- I actual-""Oh dear, no need to give me excuses. I can see you're blushing.

The day was warm and sunny with a gentle breeze blowing. The breathtaking view of Paris from here as we sat at the breakfast table sipping on tea in our private terrace was kindling various fantasies in my mind. Wait, wait.

Yup, he was making me work on such a lovely day.Moving my eyes from the boring papers of a file I looked up and stretched letting out a moan. He, however, ignored my existence as his eyes were glued to his laptop screen.
