Nathan:

“Fuck! My head!”

I sat up and looked around. The lights were off, and the evening breeze tickled my toes. Everything was fuzzy for a moment, but soon, the images began to sharpen. The light from the window illuminated the room faintly, and I could see my shoes neatly arranged on the edge of the bed.

Where was I? I was certain that this wasn’t my room. How did I even get here?

Fuck! I stank!

Slowly, it all began to become clearer. I had told Bridget that I was going to get some work done at the office but in truth, I went to a bar. I couldn’t stop thinking about her.

After what she said when I came to talk to her in her room, I felt her words hit me deeply. They… moved something inside. I just couldn’t control it and decided to go down the path of whiskey.

I groaned as I got out of the bed. I had been down that route before when Bridget’s mother died. I didn’t want to go down there again.

The light flicked on and for a second, my irises were bleached and I could see nothing. I

  • My Best Friend’s Father Wants me   Chapter 96

    Enora:My face filled with blood and it hurt trying to keep up this faux smile. Why the hell was he looking at me like that? Why was he being creepy?I tried to pull my hand away politely but his grip was strong. It was hard not to crinkle my nose or cough. His cologne smelt so strong and not in the most alluring way, and his veneers… not to be rude but why were they so white? They could reflect light. He should be in a toothpaste commercial.“Anthony, I will need you to run some numbers for me,” Mr. Wright interjected, finally causing Anthony to let go of my hands and turn his attention elsewhere. Urghhh… Why the hell were my palms wet? I wiped them subtly on my skirt and listened to the conversation, It was my first day here and despite everything that had happened last night, I was hell-bent on not letting today be another downhill spiral.“...She will be acting Secretary for the moment. She is on a probationary period. If she performs well, she will be given the job permanently, a

    Enora:“Anthony?!”He flashed another smile from me and I involuntarily squinted. Fuck! Why did he have to be here? No, no, no, no.He slipped into the empty seat in front of me and I felt all alarms go off in my head. Why was he even here? Did he follow me because I was very sure that he wasn’t in the restaurant when I first walked in?I smiled warmly at him, praying that this was just a brief greeting and that he was going to leave me alone to eat in peace.“I never knew that you also knew this place,” he said casually, looking around, seemingly lost in its small wonder.“Yeah. My parents used to bring me here when I was little,” I answered, twisting my fingers nervously, praying that he was going to leave any second from now.“That’s sweet. I am sure that they are so proud that you scored such a well-paying job. The hiring process here is very tedious. It took me months of applying before I got my job.”My faux smile faded and I distracted myself with my glass of water. An uncomfor

    Enora:I swallowed and took a deep breath. I wasn’t going to let him make a fool out of me in this place. My day was going so well. Why didn’t he have to come and spoil everything?“Mr. Wright, good afternoon. It is nice to have you here.”He glared from Anthony to me and as though they had some kind of telepathic connection, Anthony called for the waiter to pack his noodles to go and in a few minutes, I was alone at my table.He took Anthony’s seat and as I looked out of the window, Anthony was already outside. He flagged a taxi and soon, he disappeared. Deep calming breaths, Enora. I was furious but being angry at him wasn’t going to solve much. He was just being a relentless mosquito.I prodded my rice. I wasn’t hungry anymore and we all knew whose fault that was.“I thought you said that you weren’t flirting,” he inquired, glaring at me, his jaw clenched and his eyes not leaving me for a second.I shot daggers at him. My lunch break was going so well and now he had to come and r

    Enora:I was stunned. How did he even get to know about the party? You know what? I wasn’t even going to overreact about this. He had crossed the line.I took a deep breath and continued to type away at my laptop. I didn’t bother to look at him.“Didn’t you hear what I said?” he questioned, his voice stern and demanding.“I’ll get off when I am ready to leave. I still have unfinished work.”Through the corner of my eye, I could still see him glaring at me. My heart skipped a beat but I was determined to end this bullshit. I had had enough. He said he didn’t want yet he kept butting into my life at every little opportunity. It was… suffocating.“If you are thinking that you can wait back and head to that party, you have it all wrong, Miss Lopez.”He folded his arms, his gaze still so heavy on my shoulders. No. I wasn’t going to give in.“That party, and whether or not I go to it, is none of your business. You are my boss, not my dad.”“You… Aren’t… Going.”The finality in his voice was

    Nathan:She left and I was alone in her office. I could still smell her scent. It clung to the room and invaded my nostrils. My head was filled with thoughts of her. I couldn’t get her out of my head. Nothing I tried ever worked. I had never had any woman the way I had her.I wasn’t a saint. After the death of my wife, Rose, I had dabbled in a few affairs here and there. I had been with women, I had made them feel things and they always came back, wet, soaking and begging for more.That’s what I felt for Enora in the beginning. Her innocence drew me to her and I was like a moth flying close to a flame. Getting to know her, having her beneath me, moaning and screaming, knowing that I was her first and I was the only one that had ever made her feel this was, it was… it was addictive. I wanted more. I wanted more of her.Now, I was so deep in that I had no idea how to pull away from her. I thought telling her that I didn’t love her would sever whatever ties I had with her, would make me

    Enora:Anthony looped his arm through mine and pulled me through the sweaty crowd. I had never been in a place like this and it freaked me out how the men looked at me so hungrily. A few touched my arm, but I pulled away and tucked closer to Anthony.We reached the bar and there was a loud cheer.“Tony!”He smiled and I stood shyly by his side. I had seen all these faces at work before but I didn’t really get the chance to talk to them. I had spent the day fuming in my office because of Mr. Wright.“Yo, Tony, that’s the new girl? Right?”I waved. My hands shook as I held on tighter to my drink. Why did I feel so awkward?“Everyone, this is Enora, our new secretary. Enora, that’s Jay, from finance, Emily, from marketing, Luke, from Advertising, Gina, from the Legal team and Nicky, from tech and security.I waved at everyone. Nicky raised her glass to me and I did the same. Her appearance was… peculiar, almost goth-like. Did she come to work like that?“Yo, Nora,” Nicky called out, from

    Enora:I grabbed my clothes and scrambled to the corner. Anthony was in the bathroom, standing face-to-face with the men. The one he kicked got off the ground and wiped his face with the back of his hand, his eyes widening with fury as he looked at the blood smear.“You bastard! You are going to pay for that!”I screamed and huddled closer under the sink. Anthony was kicked in the stomach and he reeled backwards, crashing against the wall and grunting.“Tony, what out!” I screamed and he raised his head just in time to see one of the men unfurl a right hook. He dodged it and the fist slammed right into the wall, where his head was formerly.My heart was pounding in my chest, my hands flew to my face. I could barely watch but at the same time, I was peeking through my fingers.Anthony was cornered. The men chuckled and closed in on him like lions cornering their prey.“You slippery little bastard. What’s the matter? Nowhere to run?”I felt faint. I could barely breathe. There I was, cr

    Nathan:She stormed out and I was left alone with Anthony. My eyes bore into him.His face was bleeding. He was an absolute mess but I didn't care. Someone had done something. Men didn't just enter a bathroom to rape someone."What happened to Enora?" I demanded, my eyes narrowing in on him as he raised his hands and took a few steps back."I don't know. She said she needed to use the bathroom and I just pointed her in the right direction."I lifted an eyebrow."And these men?"I cocked my head towards the men that lay on the floor."She was taking too long, and I came to check in on her, and they had her cornered. I swear, I didn't touch her."I eyed him. Tony had been working with me for about two years. He wasn't a liar but something... Something seemed off with him."What did she drink?""What?"I scowled and took a step closer."My question was very clear. What. Did. She. Drink?"His eyes were shifty. He was hiding something."I dunno. We ordered a lot of drinks. I can't even rem

    Enora:I lay there, staring at the ceiling, my heart beating unrhythmically. I can't believe it. I couldn't…My hand ran over my stomach, my body tense, trying to feel the kick, to feel the life of the body that I was growing inside of me. I closed my eyes, and all I could see was those two red lines on the pregnancy test strip. I couldn’t believe it. I had been on my phone all day, trying to find an explanation. Was something wrong with the test? Was it a false positive? What was I going to do? I couldn’t have this baby. I just couldn’t.I turned in bed and felt a tear slip down my cheek. It fell to the pillow and left a small wet patch that cooled my skin. I had to tell Mr. Wright. There was nothing that I could do. I had to tell him. And Bridget… I guess she was going to find out sooner than I expected.All day, all I could think about was the look on Mr. Wright's face if I told him. I would close my eyes and see him mad, fuming, angry that I let something like this happen. Othe

    Enora:The sun was up early and its rays beamed softly on my face. I groaned in slight pain and then smiled. Mr. Wright held on to me tightly, nuzzling into my chest, his fingers digging into the small of my back. I guess if I was in pain because he was holding on too tight, I didn’t mind. After everything that happened yesterday, I felt safe and I loved where I was: in his arms in a warm and safe bed.As I sroked his hair, he groaned and pulled me in tighter. “I’ll keep you safe,” he mumbled and exhaled deeply, his hot breath warm on my chest. I could barely breathe in his tight grasp but I didn’t mind. I was with him and there was no other place that I would rather be. Yesterday still felt like a dream. I wish I was strong enough so that I could look at Anthony one last time before he was dragged away. I couldn’t believe he would do that to me. It was scary. Even among the people I called my friends, who could I truly trust. “Why are you awake?” Mr. Wright said groggily, open

  • My Best Friend’s Father Wants me   Chapter 220

    Enora:I didn’t know what came over me. It was a final desperate attempt to save myself. My face was in pain, my body ached, and my pride was shattered. I never expected this from Anthony. Why? I thought he genuinely liked me and thought I had hurt him by letting him down. But it was all a ploy, a little part of a grand scheme, but unfortunately, he had hit a rock. While he was distracted, mocking Mr. Wright, I found an opening. I moved my legs slowly, freeing them from his grasp and finally letting the blood run through my numb muscles. I only had one shot at this. One shot or I would be raped and I would have to live with that regret for the rest of my life. I really thought that Anthony just wanted to talk, just wanted closure for what I had told him earlier. How wrong I was. I was foolish to have stayed alone with him. And now, I had everyone in trouble. I could only imagine what was wrong with George.With the little energy I had, the kick was explosive, right to his groin. A

    Nathan:I couldn't stop pacing. Wine glass in hand, thoughts flying, my eyes darting to my phone every few minutes.She hadn't called me. Her part was supposed to start at 7pm, and it was almost 10pm. Yet, nothing from her.The wine I sipped did nothing to calm my frayed nerves. No calls, no texts. What was she doing?I slipped into a chair and sighed, my mind going haywire.Fun? Was she having fun without me? Who else could she be smiling with?My grip on my glass tightened. She told me that those bastards weren't coming. Did she lie to me?No. She couldn't have. My kitten didn't lie, and even if she did, I would know.I exhaled and checked my watch. Time was moving slowly, and it drove me up the wall."Fuck it!"I grabbed my phone and sent a text. I wanted to be sure that she was not with those predators. I hated them. Even hate wasn't sufficient.The reply was instant. And I heaved a sigh of relief. She wasn't with them. I could rest a little better.I walked over to my desk and go

    Enora:“What the hell is going on?” I demanded, standing up from the sofa and staring at Anthony with hate and suspicion.He stood up as well and walked towards me, smiling wickedly as he took me in with lust and disdain.“You had to have known that this was coming, Enora,” he said darkly, chuckling dryly and looking to the door as if he expected someone to come in.“You know, there's just something about you in the office that just doesn't seem to sit well with me.”I backed away, trying my best to increase the distance between the both of us. “Stay away from me!” I yelled, but Anthony’s laughter just continued to become more sinister. Where the hell was George? He should have realized that something was amiss by now.“If you're thinking about your buff gardener, just know that he was incapacitated a few minutes ago. He won't be coming to your aid, Enora.”My heart skipped a beat. What was happening? How the hell did I end up this deep in trouble? Who was he? Was he even the real An

    Enora:Nicki took centre stage and called for a game of charades. Everyone began to pair up in twos. Luke was still with Emily, Jay was with Gina, Eliot opted out of the game and surprisingly, Anthony paired up with me. I was a little uneasy as he sat next to me. We weren’t on speaking terms but at least he wasn’t mad enough to detest me and avoid me like I was the black plague. “Alright, I believe you all know the rules of this game. The first team to guess gets a point. No cheating and no trying to make your teammate win by using any funny hand signs. G, you’re up.”Gina took the stage and pulled a paper from the hate. She looked at it and made a face. I could only imagine what the hell she picked.Soon she raised her hands above her head and began to bend in the funniest way. The crazy guesses commenced.“Line!”“Straight!”“Balloon guy!” She shook her head and lowered her hand. She imitated someone who was drawing and went back to her first action. “You are an artist!

    Enora:There was a heavy silence in the room. All eyes were fixed on Eliot, on one knee, holding out a ring. Bridget was dumb dumbfounded. For a few minutes, she was unable to say anything and I couldn’t blame her. This was a shock to all of us. Eliot had just cheated on her and now he was trying to propose to her. “Bridget, please say something.”Bridget said nothing as was still staring at the ring in disbelief, like it was all part of a dream, that her ex-boyfriend of just a day ago was proposing to her.“Bridget, I…”A resounding slap filled the room and everyone’s hands flew to their mouths and gasps rippled inthe room. I was stunned. Bridget was not a fighter and she wasn’t one to lose her head over things but I could understand her reaction to this.“You cheated on me with some girl named, Vanessa, and now you have the audacity to show up to this party uninvited to prose to me?! How stupid are you? How stupid do you think I am?”Her voice was raised and was shakey. I wanted

    Enora:It was 6:45 pm. The guests were going to be here any moment from now. I was dressed and so was Bridget. It also turned out that her yelling on the phone was beneficial. The bakery was able to deliver just in time. The macrons were perfect, I didn't want to seem greedy but I had had my eyes on them all day since they arrived. I had even tried to snatch one but eagle-eyed Bridget had caught me just before I could pick one off the tray. She had also made a call to Choi’s and they promised to bring some food. Bridget put it all on her tab and I was so grateful to her. This party wouldn’t have been a success without her. By 7:00 pm sharp, the first guests arrived. There was a knock at the door and I opened it to see Gina standing there all dolled up in a beautiful black dress. It had been a while since I saw her but I could tell that she was in good spirits. I took it that she got the memo from Mr. Wright and that she was innocent. I was happy that she was back to her beautiful

    Enora:"Enny, who is at the door?” Bridget called from inside. I was too ashamed to say anything and Anthony came inside behind me. I didn’t need to see his face to know that he was pissed. His smiley and carefree attitude had vanished into thin air and he was icy and distant.“Hey, Tony,” Bridget said with a smile but her smile quickly vanished and she looked at me with shock. Her eyes were everything but there was no way that I could tell her what was going on as well. She was just as involved as she was. “I’ll go and get the ladder from George. You two can decide where to hang the banner.”She left–I really wished she didn’t–I was alone with Anthony. He came to stand in front of me and I forced my head up to look at his heated expression.“What the hell, Enora,” he said roughly, his voice just a few shades away from a yell. I have been trying to reach you for almost three days. You just ghosted me. No calls, texts, voice notes and to make matters worse, you wouldn’t even return a
