Night + Rum = Passion EIGHT
RILEY Clasping Leah’s hand like I was afraid to let go even for a second, I led her up the elevator and soon we arrived at my office, none of us saying a word the entire time. Upon getting to my office I let go of her and watched her settle down in one of the seats, acting nonchalant. “Care to tell me what you were doing with that guy downstairs?” I asked, not bothering to sit and going over to stand in front of her. “I told you, his wife suddenly attacked me from nowhere,” she said in a bored tone. “So, you mean to tell me that you were just standing in the parking lot and the lady randomly attacked you?” I queried, doubting the authenticity of what she said. Honestly, I feel like my sister has been lying to me for the past three years. Starting from the day I opened my eyes at a hospital here in Texas. That day, she was the only person next to me. I could recall what she told me that day. “I’m your only remaining family, our brother, Liam died years ago. You can’t recall t

NATHAN “Do you know who he is?” Standing there and watching Riley throw a series of questions at Leah, ignoring my presence sent waves of inexplicable emotions within me. “His wife suddenly attacked me,” Leah lied, eyeing me. It was as if she was trying to avoid something. “I should just gauge out your eyes!” Riley growled at Nancy who had just managed to rise to her feet. Seeing Riley’s angry face must have scared her, she stumbled and fell flat on the ground again. “You didn't only act uncultured. You also brought your wife to cause trouble,” She turned in my direction. “I don't think I'm interested in investing in any of your projects both now and in the future. I hope we never see each other again.” Eying me unpleasantly, she took Leah’s hand and headed back into the company. I watched the duo disappear before turning around and heading towards my car. The moment I got in, I turned on the ignition, ready to move, when someone hit my car loudly, it was Nancy. “D

NATHAN“What?”I said aloud, surprise flashing on my face. Never in a million years did I expect Riley to suddenly change so much, even to the extent of being this blunt and crude.“I've been in the industry for years….”“Save your explanation for those who want to hear it, Mr Martinez. I'm not the tiniest bit interested in it. When you come up with a better project, you can come meet me, if it isn't shitty, I'll willingly invest in it…”“Are you knowingly doing this, Riley!” I asked, running my hand through my hair.What changed her so much? I couldn't help but query myself.“It's Miss Wright. I do not think we are friends for you to address me so informally Mr Martinez. See yourself out.” she pointed in the direction of the door.Never in a thousand years did I imagine that a day like this would come, a day my beloved would look at me with such cold and soulless eyes, a day she'll look at me like she has never loved me. It hurt me so bad that all I could do was clench my fist and s

THREE YEARS LATERNATHANIt's been three years since that incident, three good years since I fled from my wedding. Honestly speaking, back then getting married was the last thing I had in mind coupled with the insistent problems I was falling into. Starting a family merely as a result of a one night mistake was obviously not the best decision for me at that time. To save myself from it, I left when no one was looking. Three years later, my entire family still hasn't forgiven me. After I left New York for Texas, I haven't had any contact with my family or anyone there of. According to my mum, I disgraced and made them look bad. My twin brother cut off all ties with me, apparently, his fiancé, Riley’s younger sister broke off their engagement after what I did.To be sincere, I didn't really care about all these, I have my own life to live and so does my brother. My parents had already become what they would be in life and this was my turn to make a name for myself and I wasn't going to
Night + Rum = Passion FOUR
RILEY Somehow, Aunt Hailey managed to convince me to keep the child. At 23, I have never been able to make important life decisions myself. Even after I insisted on getting rid of the baby. Aunt Hailey threatened to fire the doctor if she went ahead to help me terminate my pregnancy. I had no choice but to leave the hospital with them that day. Worst of all, I was made to go to my brother’s mansion with them. Call me an idiot, call me a fool or whatever, I won't judge I've always been foolish and cowardly. The only person who stood up for me, who argued that I must have an important reason why I wanted to get rid of my pregnancy upon getting to know about it, was my sister Leah, and my brother's wife Rosaline. However, the elders were quick to hush them saying that there had never been a history of getting an abortion in the family.“You're a christian, Riley, do you think getting rid of a child God blessed you with is the best thing to do?” Aunt Hailey had asked.“God knows all. I

RILEY TWO WEEKS LATER“We’ll launch the new product in a week after having tested it. That will be all for now,” I announced, rising from my seat and dispersing my employees.They say the best way to take our mind off certain things is to focus on a completely different thing. To ease the hurt that was weighing down my heart after the incident, I dedicated all my time to launching a new product here in my company. It was a drug we had gotten approval to produce but had been taking things slowly. However, being the CEO, I was able to push the production forward and here we are, after two weeks we were almost ready to launch it.Getting back to my office, I lowered myself onto my seat and rested my head on my desk.“You should go home and get proper sleep, you've been sleeping here for over a week now,” my assistant, Nancy’s voice resonated from a corner of my office.“I have nothing to do at home…”“You've been saying the same thing since forever. I don't know what went wrong, you don

RILEYMy entire body was aching, I felt sore all over. I groaned as a ray of light hit my face. My eyes fluttered open. I yawned, rising from the bed and relaxing my body against the bed stand.“Wait….A bed?” I muttered, all forms of dizziness clearing from my eyes instantly.“It's morning,” I mumbled aloud.“How…how come. I was having rum with Nathan just now and…” My mind went blank. I couldn't recall anything.Rummaging my head for answers as to how I ended up here, my eyes drank in the appearance of the room. It wasn't my room or one of the rooms at home. It was….“A hotel room.”“Oh, lord,” I mumbled, clutching onto the sheets wrapped around my chest.“Wait, sheets?”“Wasn't I in an overflowing gown at the bar?”I instantly stared down at myself. Lifting the sheet and slowly peeking down my body.“God! I was naked.”“Did Nathan and I do it last night?” I muttered.I couldn't recall anything, my memory was blank and all I could recall was downing shots of rum.Someone groaned rig
Night + Rum = Passion ONE
RILEY“Aunt, you should go join the others in the living room, I'll take care of things here in the kitchen,” I smiled entering the kitchen and trying to take the cutting stick from my brother's mother-in-law.Just a few minutes ago, I had been seated in the sitting room, laughing alongside my entire family and friends, but that was until he walked in. Nathan Martinez, next to him was his twin, Ethan Martinez. The duo was smoking hot as ever. They looked identical and almost had the same walking style, but then there was something about him that tugged at my core each time I set my eyes on him. Unlike his twin, who was outspoken and made friends with almost everyone, Nathan was cool and reserved, his intelligent blue eyes always calculating and sizing up everything. He had this commanding aura that made me want to go down on my knees before him. “Walk up to him and ask him out, instead of sizing him up from here,” A familiar voice resonated next to me. It was my younger sister, Leah.
