Cassie had moved in to stay with Marcus after her rent expired. Few days later, she received a job offer from Tylers Joint Corporation. It was a very strange experience that made her afraid at the same time since she didn't apply for any job after she was fired at GGC. But Marcus made her put aside the discomfort to relish the excitement.She turned in for an interview and was offered the position of the MD in the company.A seemingly good chance to blush after being down for weeks or a blessing in disguise? She thought to herself.On a busy Monday morning, her boss called her in for a brief meeting. He made a request she was yet to comprehend by asking her to act as his PA in an impromptu meeting.She was shuddered at his words and stood still, holding her breath and watching him. His face had a desperate and brooding look that reminded her of a caged bird. After thinking for a while, she finally gave in to his demands and saw a grim smile twist his lips."Go get ready Cassie, we'r
Once she stepped out of the car, Grey took a deep intake of fresh air as he stared at the window, hoping to catch the view of her that was slowly diminishing. He loved everything about her; her confidence, persistence and most especially the fact that she was a workaholic, just like him. The rest of her physical features were just more than what he ever wanted in his women and he was ready to step up his game, to have all of her.He arrived at his company and sat in his office hysterically tapping his foot against the ground with his elbow rested on top of his desk. In just a few days after Cassie was fired, he received tons of messages from most of his clients, requesting to pull out of the company. His face was overcast as he followed up to know the reason they were pulling out. "What!!!" he growled. โThe HR is inefficient?โHe clicked on the intercom and ordered Miss Evans into his office."How dare she?" he gritted his teeth. His body braced with anger, so close that he could ta
โYou're quite late today,โ Marcus shrieked as he opened the door for her. โYeah, I'm sorry Marc. I should have called earlier. Work is tiring,โ she cried out.Marcus held her from behind as they walked into the sitting room.โWhat are you doing?โ She chuckled as he poked her sides, tickling her until she leaned against him, crying with laughter. โOh my God, you're wet. Did you just come out of the bathroom,โ she asked, trying to wiggle her body away from him. โI was about to shower but your knock distracted me. I couldn't keep you waiting outside.โโI'm fucking special.โ She giggled and turned to wrap her arms around him, pulling him in for a warm but unfortunately cold embrace.โAre you being serious? Hugging my wet body?โ Marc gruffed. โShhh..โ She hushed, pressing a finger to his lips to silence him. โDon't make it seem like I'm about to commit a crime.โโGuilty conscience. Waiting for me to bail you out?โ Marcus laughed and she joined him.โHey, I just want to thank you for ev
Cassie sat in her office rocking her chair back and forth with so many thoughts running through her head. Her boss had called her later that evening to apologize for leaving her behind in the meeting room with a valid reason. Obviously, she could see in her mind's eye that he wasn't at fault and hoped to move on, but she couldn't. Grey's arrogant attitude was drawing her slowly towards him in a mysterious way. If it was a game, she was ready to play better and smarter than him. She caught a glimpse of a lady walking towards her office from the window as she leaned over to go through some documents on her desk. Then she heard a knock on the door and responded immediately. The tall beautiful lady walked in with a parcel in her hand.โGood afternoon Ma, I'm Halsey, your new PA. Mr.Tyler assigned me to you and instructed me to bring lunch to you everyday." She said, dropping the parcel on her desk. โI have a PA already. Jaden is my PA and I didn't fire him.โโSorry Ma, Mr.Tyler made
Cassie suddenly felt wet and rushed to the restroom to clean herself, not entirely sure of why her body reacted that way. She felt messy at that moment and the thought of putting up with that oh-so-nasty feeling of damp panties until she got home made her feel extremely uncomfortable.โHow did this happen?โ she mumbled, pulling down her skirt again. As she walked out of the room, she was in fear that someone would notice the wet spot on her panties even with her skirt shielding it.She reached her office, cleared her desk and was about to leave.โMa, are you going?โ Halsey asked from her cabin. โYeah, I have to go, I have a serious migraine,โ she lied.โI'm sorry about that,โ she winced. โTake care of my office and don't forget to check on Jaden.โ she muttered and left.Cassie arrived home but found out that Marcus had taken the keys with him since he always came back earlier than she does. She paced up and down the premises and grimaced at the thought of going to get the keys from
Marcus returned home that day feeling exhausted and tired. The whole day seemed like it was practically after him.โCass, open up,โ he grumbled.Cassie overheard his voice and a faint knock, paused the movie she was watching and ran to the door. She got his briefcase while he quickly slumped onto the couch.โHey, are you okay?โ She asked softly.โJust damn tired.โ He whispered with his eyes closed.โYou're gonna get up and have a shower while I bring your dinner.โโOh my goodness! I perceive..Did you cook my favorite meal?โCassie smiled and rolled her eyes. โDon't tell me you don't like it anymore.โโI'd never say that, it was my turn to make dinner.โ Marc argued.โYou know, I came back earlier and I thought of a better way to make your evening.โโOh come here,โ he pushed her onto his laps and massaged her soft thighs as she straddled him.โYou got me in this one.โ He smirked.โI know,โ Cassie extended her hands to his neck and struggled to remove his tie. โDoesn't this feel tight on
Slowly, her heartbeat steadied and her breathing was back to normal but the shock on her face was unconcealed. She tucked in her loose shirt and wondered why she had come into the elevator. Her brain had shut down completely. If not that it was enclosed, she could have sworn Grey had taken it with him. She rushed out of the elevator and strutted back to the conference room then saw her boss beckoning her to come over. She shook her fears away and returned to her seat. As usual, they were informed to go to the next room for a banquet arrangement after the meeting had ended. Grey returned back to his company and stumbled on the resignation letter of two other staff. Marc overheard them talking about it and notified him about it after they had settled their differences on issues involving Cassie. He leaned forward and ordered Marcus in over the intercom.โCould you please come to my office immediately? There are some files you need to deliver.โ Grey said softly. He heard him clear hi
Cassie looked away immediately and doubled her pace to her room. She wished he hadn't seen her ogling his car. But even if he did, expensive things are worth admiring. She killed her worries as she arrived at her room, opened the door and walked in. She found her luggages beside the nightstand and smiled happily. They had finally brought it in. After changing into her nighties, she jumped into the queen sized bed and rolled on it, grasping the pillows and placing it under her head and on her chest. It was so comfortable that she drifted off immediately. She woke up to the sound of a loud knock on her door. Grumbling, she rolled on her bed and tossed a pillow over her head.It came again and she sighed, groggily sat up and squinted from the rays of light that flashed into her eyes. She checked the time on her watch and jerked up in surprise. A few minutes to eight o'clock? She was definitely running late. She stood up and strode towards the door, running her fingers through her di
โDreams without goals are just dreams. And ultimately, they fuel disappointment.โ ~Denzel Washington~5 years laterโฆโLet's welcome the CEO of Peytonill Empire, the wife of the famous billionaire we have here with us, who happens to be the CEO of GGC. We would like to host her alongside her husband in our hotseat today.โ A resounding round of applause followed the statement as Cassie stepped out before the crowd with a large smile beaming across her face. Blinding camera lights flashed steadily on her as the cameraman took several pictures of her. She waved politely and was treated to the red carpet to meet the host who had reserved a special seat for her, next to that of her husband, across the table.โWelcome once again Mr and Mrs Nicholas Grey, we are pleased to have you in our midst.โ The host continued.โIt's our pleasure.โ They said in unison and smiled at each other.Maya, the host smiled before throwing out some questions to them.โSo tell me Mrs. Grey, how is it possible that
The rooftop was a secluded area with soft, soothing music echoing in the background. There were two chairs and a small table with spherical shaped red lights decorating the place. Nick slid his arm around her waist as they walked to the table.โOh my God! This is really beautiful, you know how I love it.โ She whined as they sat on the chair.โI had to put up my best to ensure there was no fault.โ He smirked. โHave a drink.โHe poured her a glassful of her favourite red wine, clinked glasses with her as they drank up.โThis tastes really good.โ She licked the wine from her lips.โYou taste even better.โ He set the glass down and ogled at her.โYou're so flirty.โ She giggled. โI can't believe we're over all of this.โโYou made this right, Cass. I would never have bothered about stepping down for Marc as long as we were fine. I'm sorry you got yourself injured in the process but in the end, it's just a memory.โโYeah, I don't mind going through hell for the man I love.โ She gave him a s
He yanked her up immediately and she wrapped her legs around him.โLet's go finish up what we started.โ He shut the door and moved to the bedroom.โMy God! You're already so hard.โ She felt him bulging in his pants and pressed her mouth on his in a sizzling kiss.โYou'd never know how much I missed you.โ His tongue found its way into her mouth as he deepened the kiss. As soon as he laid her down on the bed, his phone started ringing and he slid it away.โThis can definitely wait.โ He whispered and leaned in to kiss her again.His phone began ringing the second time and he was forced to pull away.โSo much for ruining the moment.โ He cursed himself for it. โWho is it?โ She asked softly.โIt's Chloe.โ He snapped. โYou need to call her now.โโNo, you pick up. I always have a facetime with Chloe. She might spot my shoulder sling.โโWhat am I gonna say? You haven't returned her calls since then, she could be suspicious.โ He tried to reason with her. โI will pull the blanket over you.โโOk
โBabe it's here.โ Cassie shouted hearing the knock on the door.โI'm here.โ He came out, wearing a new pair of sweatpants and brushed lightly on his hair. โDo I look good?โ He asked when he noticed her eyes on him.โYou always look good.โโFirst time you're opening up about my looks.โ He smiled and stepped into the private elevator that led downstairs.He got the package and ambled back to the room. He had ordered some tampons along with it. She got it and gazed at it.โTampons? For?โ โJust in case.โShe laughed and took out the little device. โI'm just supposed to pee on it right?โโSure.โ โOkay, let's get this done already.โ He helped her up on her feet and walked her to the bathroom.When she was done, they strolled to the balcony close to the room, dropping the kit on the large round table.โWanna sit?โ He asked, feeling concerned.โNah, I think I'm getting better. The fever is gone.โHe wrapped his arms around her from behind, pulling her to himself.โI guess my therapy helped
โMr. Nicholas Grey,โ The doctor exclaimed as he stepped into the hospital premises.โDoctor, how is it going?โโGreat. I was informed you wanted her to be discharged soon?โโIf it doesn't pose any effect on her then yes. It's been a week and some days already.โโWe're working on it. She seems very much better now. Your fiancรฉe has some special guests and I felt I should draw your attention to it.โโWho are they?โโGo see for yourself.โ He smirked. Nick pursed his lips, looking baffled as he hurried to the room Cassie was. He pushed the door slowly open and peeped inside the room. The shock on his face was replaced with a sudden smile spreading across his face.This has to be the best thing he has stumbled upon! His parents had come to see Cassie. His mom sat beside her on the bed holding her hands while his dad was just relaxed on the chair, concurring to whatever they were discussing. They didn't seem to have noticed him and appeared very engrossed in whatever stuff they were talkin
After their little make out session, he kept on rubbing her back and lulling her to sleep, until he heard her soft snores. He uttered a sigh and closed his eyes. For the past days he hadn't been fortunate enough to sleep too, but having her in his arms had a way of calming him. He tried to stay up a bit just in case she needed anything but his eyes were heavy and droopy. Slowly, he drifted off but woke up about a few minutes later to ensure she was okay and wasn't hurting in any way. Despite his efforts to stay awake, he fell into a deep sleep again that obviously didn't last for long.โLena, Don't!!!โ He heard Cassie scream and tremble violently on top of him.โBaby, wake up.โ His voice was raspy from his own lack of sleep. Her eyes flew open and she let out some panic breaths, clenching her fist to stop herself from trembling.โIt's okay..It's okay now.โ He smoothed out her hair, trying his best to soothe her. โIt's just a nightmare.โ He kissed her forehead and continued stroking he
โOh my God, you're awake?โ He sprang up and attempted to give her a hug but realizing the state she was in, he pulled back instantly.โBaby..I'm glad you're awake.โ He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead lightly.โWhy have you been crying?โ She stared at his flushed face and reddened eyes. Where are we?โโWe are.. We are in the hospital.โ He stuttered.โWhy? What am I doing here?โ She tried to sit up but the pains on her shoulder came back piercing causing her to scream.โHey, I'm sorry. Just lay back sweetheart, I promise you that you'll be fine.โโWhat is going on?โ She struggled to speak but her voice came out more as a whisper.โWe're just spending some time together.โ He tried to fake a smile but it disappeared as soon as he saw the look on her face. โFuck! I'm sorry. You passed out.โโFor..how..long?โ โIt doesn't matter how long baby, what matters now is that you're awake.โโHow are you feeling?โโWeak and tired. Can I..have.. a glass..of water.. please? I'm damn thirsty.โ
Out of shock, he pulled the trigger again and it left a clicking sound behind, signifying there were no bullets in the pistol. Nick blinked rapidly, trying to clear the fog of disbelief that clouded his vision. โSeems you're running out of luck.โ He took out his phone and called the cops, fixing his gaze intently on him. โDon't you fucking do that.โ โToo late. We're gonna get your ass locked up in a bit.โ Marcus surged forward and knocked his knee down, sending fists flying towards his face but he was quick enough to duck each of his blows. Nick rolled him over and strangled him, slowly taking the life out of him. โI'd fucking kill you right now but you deserve to rot in jail.โ He released him as he heard the siren of the police. โNo one is gonna believe you.โ He choked, gasping for air. โLet's see how this plays out.โ He smirked. Soon, footsteps surrounded the whole house as the cops barged into the room. โTake him away.โ The cop shrieked and in a jiffy, Marcus was handcuffe
Nick fumbled with the keys in his hand as he stared at the door in front of him. Despite the fact that he had rushed out of the house, he knew he didn't leave the front door hanging. He fell under suspicion of burglary and took out his phone, setting it on the recorder . As he strolled further into the hallway, the lights went off, increasing his anxiety.He made to turn on the lights when a hand grabbed his neck from behind.โDon't you dare touch me.โ He tried to fight back instantly but felt the cold metal of a gun pressed against the side of his head as he was being led to one of his rooms.โSit!โ The voice ordered, standing behind him.โMarcus?โ He called out in shock, recognising his voice.โDon't fucking call that name.โ A resounding slap stung his cheek and he gasped, unable to move because he had his hands tied behind the chair.โWhat the fuck do you think you're doing!โ Nick yelled menacingly as he shot daggers at him in the dimly lit room.โTrying to put your shits right!โ
