View MoreNatasha's POV It was past nine in the evening when the driver finally pulled into the driveway of my house after a long drive. The moon perfectly doing its job illuminated brightly in the sky as the cool breeze whispered through the trees. The silence of the night, a stark contrast from the chaos in my mind. The only noise heard in the environment were that of chirping crickets.Still lost in thoughts of the turnout of today's event, I stared out the window, replaying the events of the day in my head. I was so welled up with my thoughts that I didn't hear the driver's voice until the third time he called out to me, his voice ringing loud through the silence of the car as he honked the horn."Hey ma'am?" he said, his voice harsh and impatient as he spoke, "Are you alright? I have been calling out to you for some minute now."“Is that why you want to break my ear drums?” I snapped, my eyes spitting fury immediately I turned to face the driver.“Madam, please get down, I don't want
Emelda's POV “What's going on Bryan? Why are we leaving already? I whined as I held on to the tail of the shimmering outfit as Bryan led the way, his steps quick but watchful.“Oh! It's nothing. I just felt we had to leave.” Bryan answered, his tone a little bit off, I could tell he was keeping something. “Maybe I’m just eager to show you the next phase of the night.” He added. Not being persuaded by his words, I focused my gaze on him, I could tell he was lying, he kept looking left and right as he walked towards the elevator. When we locked behind the elevator's door, I turned to face him, our eyes meeting each other. “Now, start talking, Bryan Rodriguez. What is going on?” But before Bryan could say anything, the elevator stopped and the door clicked open. Taking my right hand into his, without a word he led us out of the elevator and towards the exit. At the entrance, the driver was already waiting with the car engine on.“Thank you for choosing the Grando hotel, Mr and Mrs.
Natasha’s POV“What the hell was Emelda doing in such a restaurant?” I spat, my palm folded into a fist as I walked out of the elevator. “And who was she even with? He is so handsome and he looks rich.”“Watch it, you good for nothing.” I yelled angrily at a waiter who pumped into him as I took a turn towards the exit. “Do you know how much my clothes cost? If you ruin it, your one year allowances won't even be enough.” “I’m sorry ma’am, but you were not clearly not watching.” The waiter answered, his voice calm and quite professional. “How dare you?” I barked, my eyes filled with fury. Without thinking, I picked up the mop bucket he dropped and emptied its contents over him.My gosh! I yelled as I walked out, leaving the waiter wet. “You better know your class.” Immediately, I left the hotel, I flagged down a cab. As I settled in at the passengers’ seat behind, I felt a little groggy from the white wine I had drank earlier. “Those crazy girls, always trying to challenge me.” I ut
Bryan's POV My mouth widened in shock and my fingers which gently held on to my favourite magazine lost its grip, allowing the magazine fall to the floor. “Damn! She's gorgeous.” I said to myself, my eyes still wide open.I could literally feel my heart beating furiously in my chest as I stared at her wondering what particular day she was created.The dark blue gown I got her was indeed perfect for her as it clinged unto her slender body, revealing her delicate curves. And then, just as I took in every detail of the dress on her body, she closed the bedroom door behind her and began walking towards me. As the sound of her footsteps approached, my breath caught in my throat as I looked up, my eyes meeting hers. I struggled to find the words to express how stunning she looked, her beauty almost too much to take in."Emelda," I finally spoke, my voice filled with wonder and awe as I stood, approached her, "Yo
Emelda's POV I opened the door, my jaw dropping in surprise and awe as I saw Bryan standing there. Bryan dressed in a shiny black Tuxedo suit and a white collar shirt which revealed a little of his upper chest stood out impeccable. Aside from his appearance, his demeanor was calm and collected and his hair styled in a way that would make any lady rush into his arms. My heart began to race, my body betraying me as I remembered the night of intimacy we had shared, my mind filling with thoughts of his touch, his words, his warmth."Bryan," I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper as I spoke, my eyes meeting him as I fought to control my emotions, my knees growing weak as I tried to keep myself from falling into his arms.As I fought to control my emotions, my mind whirling with thoughts of Bryan and the night we had shared, I bit down on my lower lip, my jaw clenching as I forced myself to focus.And then successfully winning over my emotions, my expression hardening into a frown.
Emelda's POV I stared at Bryan with confusion and anger in my eyes, I still couldn't wrap it all yet in my head. I couldn't believe I had stayed with them for months and didn't know who I was truly married to even Jonathan might have only felt pity for me. How can I be such a fool and naive. It's all coming together now,this was all a game and I fell for their so called game.As Bryan spoke, his voice calm and professional as he addressed the assembled crowd, my anger and indignation began to rise within me, my blood boiling as I listened to his words."How were they able to keep this secret so well?" I thought to myself, my fists clenching as I watched him, my mind reeling with a sense of hurt and betrayal.I remembered Jonathan. Jonathan was literally a simple looking elderly man whenI met him for the first time. If he was that rich, he wouldn't choose my stepmother’s bar house to drink at. That bar house was a dirty hole compared to the luxurious ones. I remembered the way I ha
Emelda’s POV The morning sun shone brightly as its warm rays kissed my skin as I stepped into it, making my way towards the bus stop. As I took in the scent of the early morning breeze, my thoughts turned to Bryan, his face and body still fresh in my memory as I recalled the event of the night, my heart skipping a beat and fluttering as I thought of him. Jonathan's death had hit him hard, I actually didn't think he was going to be able to take it. I never thought I'd see this side of him, I thought to myself, my mind filled with admiration and respect for the strength he was showing, the way he was handling his grief with such grace and poise was imitable. As I boarded the bus, the sounds of traffic and conversation filled the air around me, but that didn't distract me one bit as I continued to relive last night's experience over again in my head. My cheeks turned pink with a blush as I recalled the way Bryan had touched me, his hands gentle and tender as he explored my bod
Bryan's POVEmelda looked exceptionally beautiful in her simple red corporate dress. This time, she allowed her silk hair to fall backwards as she used a black hair clip to keep them in perfect position.“Are you sure you will be fine? You really don't want me to call the office?” She asked for the third time that morning, her face etched with worry.“Emelda," I said, my voice gentle as I reached out to stroke her cheek, my thumb brushing against her skin as I spoke, my eyes filled with tenderness and affection as I continued."I’m going to be okay," I assured her, my words filled with conviction as I spoke, my voice steady and strong as I continued. "I'm really fine actually, I can handle things, and I will actually have to be at work too. There's an important meeting I need to attend."Emelda still didn't look like she bought what I was saying. She looked at me intensely, her eyes furrowing into a slight frown."I know you want to be there for me," I added, my voice soft and unders
Bryan's POV I opened my eyes to the morning light, the world coming into focus as I adjusted to the new day.With my mind still fuzzy with sleep, I lifted my hand across my face to cover the sun rays that shone focused on my face as I took in my surroundings. And then, as I turned to my side, I saw her, Emelda, lying next to me, her eyes closed as she slept so soundly, her body curled against mine in a way that made my heart swell with emotion.As I watched her sleep, I couldn't help but think back to the night before, the moments leading up to our embrace, the need and desire that had driven us to each other's arms and how she had given herself to me. Gosh! She was so smooth, so innocent, so gentle. I remembered how she had fed me, her hands gentle and caring as she spooned the food into my mouth, the kindness in her eyes a balm for my aching soul.She was about to leave, to clear up the dishes when I had reached for her, my hand grasping her wrist as I asked her to stay.At that
