More Than A Business Deal Chapter 53
“You should get some sleep and not stare at me like that” Atticus scolded me from where he was standing by the window trying to put on his watch. He was on his way to work but it was too early and I was in no mood to stand up to have breakfast with him or rather I had no energy to stand up. Ever since we started staying together in this room, Atticus fucked me every single night or rather on most nights which left me reasonably sore but I wasn’t complaining. I wonder why he always had so much energy especially if he was always working. “I am sleeping just with my eyes open” A loud yawn escaped between my lips and I stretched involuntarily and felt my joints crack as I moved. I know I had to get up soon because the gallery was almost done so I was really busy but I wanted to rest a little bit. “Are you going to the gallery later?” he asked me while I stretched again. We were just a few weeks into opening so I had been going there every day to check on things by myself. I didn’t wan

The feeling that I am being watched is now with me constantly and it made me feel like I was going crazy. It’s been one week since the first incident and now I feel like that all the time and it was frustrating because I never see whoever I thought was watching me. I was on my way out of the gallery when I finally saw someone. He wasn’t dressed like they do in those cliche movies where they were dressed in all black and also wearing a suspicious ball cap. This man whose eyes I met was not a man but rather a young adult who would be around the same age as me. He was startled to have been caught and he quickly darted his eyes away and pulled out his phone from his pocket to make it seem like he wasn't watching me but it was too late. I had seen him already. Quickly, I tugged on Nathan’s shirt in a hurry to get his attention before he could walk away from me. “What is it?” He asked worriedly when he saw the panicked look on my face. ‘There’s someone across the street watching me.

I hadn’t seen Danielle in so long and the opening of my art gallery is in twelve days time. I was free today and had nothing serious to do so I decided to pay her a visit and I am glad I did. I didn’t call her to let her know that I was coming and she was so happy to see me. Luckily for me, she also didn’t have plans, else my coming here and surprise would have been a waste. We were currently in her kitchen trying to make some cookies but I don’t even know what it was that came out of the oven. We were laughing so hard as we looked at whatever it was that we brought out of the oven. “Look at what you baked Hazel, you are such a disappointment” she wheezed out and I could not stop myself from bursting into laughter again. She was also trying to control her laughter as she pointed to the tray on the kitchen counter. ‘Me? You practically mixed everything. I was just here for moral support” I gasped. Danielle was literally THE spoiled child you see in Hollywood royalty movies. Being th

Danielle decided to see me off so we were both standing in front of her house as we waited for my car to come pick me up so I could go home. We spent time talking about so many things that we didn’t realize it had gotten so late until Justin called and said he was on his way to pick me up since it had gotten so late and Atticus was already home waiting for me. I was so shocked that I pulled my phone from my ears to take a good look at the time and sure enough it was quarter past eight. We were hurdled up in Danielle's room so we didn’t know it had gotten so dark outside. I scrambled from the bed in shock and began to curse at how I lost track of time while Danielle just sat there laughing at me as I hurriedly packed my shit and fixed my hair and face. “It was so good to see you. I promise I will find some time to come see you once my schedule is free and we can have a redo of today” She promised when we saw my car heading towards us. I gave her another hug “I hope it’s soon. I h

Atticus was waiting outside when we got home and he wasn’t alone. The whole house staff and security were present and they were all waiting. Well, some were just standing there while others were pacing dramatically. The car rolled to a stop at the entrance and Atticus walked briskly to the car and opened the door for me. I rolled my eyes at how dramatic they were being but it warmed my heart that they were worried for me. It reminded me of when Dad was alive and how he would worry over every little thing. Then, it used to make me so mad when he was always up in my business, telling me what I should or should not do but now that he wasn’t here, I missed him so much and his worries. Every night before I sleep, I would find myself thinking of the smallest things he did that I didn’t appreciate but now yearn for and it made me angry at myself for getting mad at him when all he wanted was to make sure I was fine. Now, I realized the true meaning behind the saying, you never truly ap

The house was bustling with activities. I was running around trying to make sure everything was in place. AXE Construction has just completed its biggest project ever. It was 57 storeys apart from the penthouse apartment skyscraper in the middle of the city and we were going to be moving into the penthouse. I loved this place and I didn’t want to move but there was no way to stop Atticus because he was very excited and proud of that place. The penthouse was very big and spacious. It was a really really spacious house and it had ten bedrooms which goes far to show how massive it was. There were four bedrooms for the staff on the lower floor of the penthouse and the remaining six on the upper floor. The master bedroom was at the end of the hallway and it was the largest bedroom in the penthouse. The bedroom was all I needed to see to know that I was definitely moving in there. Since we were on the top floor, I had an unobstructed view of the city and it was the most magnificent sight.

The party was in full swing downstairs but I was still upstairs at our new penthouse because of nerves. I may have been exaggerating when I said full swing since the party was just starting but it started a few minutes ago and the guests were already arriving. Lily told me Atticus was already downstairs. It seemed he arrived a few minutes ago but was stuck downstairs talking to a few guests he couldn’t escape. I was already ready but decided to hide out here and wait for him to come get me instead if he would even be able to. “I was told you don’t want to come downstairs. Is it possible for a party to happen without the host?” I jumped in surprise at the voice that suddenly came from behind me. I looked into the mirror to see Atticus stroll into our oversized walk-in closet that could pass for another master bedroom. “Everything here is so big.” I gestured to the large space around us to ignore his questions but I knew he had caught on already “We could practically fit another

It’s been three weeks since we moved in here and I was well adjusted to the environment. I had such good luck since my neighbours were such nice and warm people and not the snobbish type I was expecting. I even made some friends with the women on the floor below ours. Jennifer, Sandy and Ria were such amazing women and I enjoyed spending so much time with them even though they were significantly older than I was but that didn’t matter to them so I didn’t let it bother me one bit. I was setting up the balcony because I had a lunch date with them to thank them for helping me out yesterday during the opening of my gallery. After such a hectic time, I finally got the courage to go back and complete it and we finally opened yesterday thanks to their help and Danielle. I had not been spending much time with Danielle since she was currently out of the country so I was spending my time with them instead. Atticus made sure I wouldn’t stay cooped up in my new studio at home and always c
