It took Tanya a moment to regain her composure, but when she did, she straightened the hem of her dress. "Hi, how may I help you?" Her cheeky voice came out in a soft, sweet tone. The fire beneath his eyes did not waver. "You possess what belongs to me." He ground the words out. "what is that?" She asked, batting her lashes. "My wife. Where is she?" He queried. "I have no idea." She replied, noticing the cars that had surrounded her house. It wasn't even up to an hour since they arrived, and Anthony already had her house covered with the cops. "Get out of the way." He ordered. "Leave my home." She retorted, retreating into her room. She watched as he took a step back, turned around, and walked towards his car. She slammed the door, feeling her heart beat return back to normal. One thing was certain,no one could stand him for more than five minutes without breaking. "Who was that?" Sandra asked, startling her.
Anthony's hands waved through his hair as the cold water droplets poured on his hard skin. He needed a fresh bath to clear up all he had done in the past minute. His adrenaline rush was still high, and the excitement bubbled in his stomach. Why he had kissed Sandra, he couldn't explain. There was no logical explanation. He grunted in discomfort. He had no sexual attraction towards her. There had been no sexual tension within them or whatsoever. He turned the shower off. The cold bath had definitely not helped in getting rid of the hardness he possessed. He walked towards the soap section. It was the first time he would be doing that in years. Sandra laid lazily on the bed, panting. Her heart kept on racing like it was going against race cars. She looked at the ceiling, searching for nothing. How was she to put a tag on what just happened? Anthony obviously hated her. He had made it clear. Why then had he kissed her? Her stomach churned. She felt as her fingers moved up to
Sandra picked up her cane as she tried moving speedily. Stefan rose to his feet. "What do you think you're doing?" He questioned, pulling close to her. She stiffened at the heat he had brought towards her. She shook her head, shaking off thoughts of him. Her husband needed her, and as much as Stefan was intoxicating. She would not let him divert her attention from what was important-checking on her husband. "I am going to see my husband." She heard her voice crack. Her eyes had grown watery. What if Anthony had been hurt? She didn't want him dead. She had prayed fervently for it, before, but now she didn't need that in her life. "You do know he's fine, right?" He tried soothing, as he placed a strong arm on her back. "I don't know anything. I've not heard from him all morning. No one is saying anything to me. I'm always kept in the dark. " "I'm saying something to you, and that is, you need to calm down. You do. Trust me, your husband is
Ten pm. Exactly ten pm on a dot, and Anthony was yet to return home. Sandra took another glance at the wall clock that faced her mockingly. Her fingers twisted within each other as she imagined all the things that could have gone wrong. Anthony might be dead. He might have gone missing. What if he had gone to get revenge at his enemies,and they ended up killing him? She wouldn't even be able to find his body. She lifted her arms from the table they had been resting on. Her hand grabbed her cane as she rose to her feet. She needed to stop creating fake scenarios in her head. The aroma from the five course meal that was served dissolved on her tongue. She didn't even feel so hungry anymore. She was just exhausted.She picked up her phone. Her hand slid through the contact list, finally arriving at his name. She stood hesitantly, staring at the name. With a deep breath, she tapped his name. The worst outcome was free to happen, if necessary. She tapped the loud
Sandra's eyes darted through the entire room in an attempt to avoid his face. She knew he was staring directly at her. Her heart squeezed as she felt him boring a hole into her heart. Anthony was asking her to bathe him. Why? She looked up to him. "Don't be shy," She felt her teeth dig into her lower lip as she thought of the next move to take. "Do you want me to come get you?" He asked. His voice was so sexy when in such a low tone. She felt her guard breaking to pieces. She folded her arms across her chest as though it would protect her from the effect Anthony had on her. Her eye widened as she noticed him rising from the tub. In no time, he was directly before her. His height towered over her. She gasped as he picked her up, and headed back to the tub. He gently placed her in it, not taking off her clothing. Her skirt soaked up the water in the tub and her thin shirt grew transparent as it hugged her chest. He stepped in, sitting directly op
"What mess?" Sandra questioned, rolling to his side. His eyes brushed over her stature quickly before he averted his gaze. He looked up to the ceiling. He could hear her breathing. One, two, three, he counted knowing she would soon murmur off some snarky remark. "Piece of shit..." She murmured, turning to the other side of the bed. He chuckled as he watched her curl up in the bed. "I lost a good friend today." He said. She turned around. "my best friend." "Jason?" He nodded. She drew closer. He looked down to find her almost snuggling up to him. For the first time in a while, he realized her presence wasn't as repulsing as he thought. "I'm so sorry." She voiced out in a hushed tone. He grunted a reply. The last thing he needed was pity from anyone. "Do you mind me asking what happened?" He shrugged on his bed. It was high time he let out his thoughts anyway. "The Chicago outfit is not too pleased
Sandra stood at the door with her handbag lazily hanging on her shoulders. Her knuckles had gone white in fear, and she relied completely on the handle of her boxes. Would she be taken in? She wondered silently. She pulled out her finger, pressing the door's bell. It rang out loud. She heaved a deep breath. If her calculations were right, the house shouldn't be empty. She looked at the black wooden door. It screamed class. She gulped down her fear. Her heart's beat increased as she heard footsteps approach. The door's handle bent down, and she watched as the door opened. Tanya stood at the other side draped in a short white dress. Her black hair hung up in a ponytail. She felt her chest tighten. Being the bad friend that she was, she had not checked up on her friend in a while. A long one at that. Tanya looked out the door, checking the environment. "Don't tell me you're still thinking you can shake off your husband." She said, placing
The cart screeched loudly as she pushed it through the mart. Her hand molded into a fist, before she rubbed at her darkened eyes repeatedly. Sleep had recently become only a wish for her. Who knew being a boss could be so traumatizing? She bent her arm, checking the timepiece. Just ten am. Another cup of coffee wouldn't be so bad. She picked up a toilet roll from the shelf. It had been a while - two years - since the day her previous life ended. The life that had scarred her. Well, two years was definitely enough to break down, cry, build back and get the itching tattoo that irked her. Her attention diverted to the arguing couple who were spitting words at each other. The two angels beside them held teary eyes in silence. "You piece of shit!" The woman slammed her husband with a slap to his face. She watched in horror as he spat out words which were too obscene for even her. God, those children would definitely need therapy. She rolled her cart off
