"I lost the contract." I told Zachary as I got to the door of my room. I met him parading the corridor obviously waiting for me to come back.

I tried everything I could but was still unable to convince Mr Xavier. He said I lacked professional etiquette and that was an undisputable fact, putting myself in his shoes I would also react the same way but all I needed was one chance.

I remembered Mr Xavier’s sharp voice in the boardroom. “Miss Aria, passion is good, but manners matter more.” His

  • PREGNANT FOR MY HUSBAND'S STEPFATHER   Chapter 12

    Zachary Aria's questioning went on and on and I got tired of responding to her that all I could bare to do was state, stare at her lip movement, her facial expression and her hand movement got me more than the conversation we were having. "Can I take you out on a date?" I asked " Did you listen to everything I said?" She glared at me furiously. " Keep it calm baby." I pacified, " I got it all, you lost the contract because you arrived late and Mr Xavier is not willing to sign with you any longer and you hope I can hel, Unfortunately I can't." I concluded. "First things first, I didn't intentionally arrive late, your wife caused that." She pointed out, I raised my hands up defenseless. "You lost the contract because it was never meant to be yours, what is yours will be yours." I comforted. " You're too blunt for my liking." She put up a disgusting expression. " You love me like that." I commented. "I don't." She responded, "Ouch." I held my chest like I was having

    Aria"I lost the contract." I told Zachary as I got to the door of my room. I met him parading the corridor obviously waiting for me to come back.I tried everything I could but was still unable to convince Mr Xavier. He said I lacked professional etiquette and that was an undisputable fact, putting myself in his shoes I would also react the same way but all I needed was one chance.I remembered Mr Xavier’s sharp voice in the boardroom. “Miss Aria, passion is good, but manners matter more.” His words hit me hard, I had stood there, lips pressed together, nodding slowly till he passed beside me. And that was all. One meeting where I could show numbers, show results. Just one chance to prove to him that I'm what I defend and more. I didn't build my empire based on connection, it was built on strength, hardwork and consistency of a young woman who knew what independence really is starting from a young age.Late nights came back to me in flashes—typing proposals at 2 a.m., cold coffee, l

    AriaIt's been more than a week since Quinn left, marking one month plus into my pregnancy and to be honest the hardest thing wasn't even about concealing it, it was about the changes that came with it, the sudden dislike for my favorite food and the anger issues, minimal noises flared me up, everything irritated me.I was in the kitchen trying to make a meal for myself because Amelia no longer understood my taste or probably she couldn't adjust to the new.My phone rang. I saw the name clearly stated on the screen. I kept contemplating, should I pick it up or not? I did anyways "Quinn." I muttered.Did that need a response? No"Aria." He answered."Yeah?" I replied in more of a questioning tone."I have been gone for days and you didn't even think of calling to check up on me, if I landed safely or...." Quinn complained." I knew you would."I responded not thinking twice." You could have at least called." He said." Would do better." I replied, my responses were brief and even an i

    KleopatraSitting down in my office, I kept thinking about Aria.Should I help her out?Should I do it for her?But what if things go the wrong way? Another thought crossed my mind.Every second my mind kept replaying Aria's sad reaction, her pleading and desperation...I was her last hope.She didn't want to lose her marriage. She didn't want to break Zachary's own. It felt like her being selfish but I knew it was the best way she knew to protect her, Zachary and her unborn child.Maybe the truth would come out one day but now wasn't the time for it. The truth didn't belong in our present, it could only fit in our future.Yes, I would. I would help her, this one time. Get the papers ready and we forget we ever did anything dirty.A knock on my table jolted me back to reality.He was sitting down, nonchalant,legs crossed like he was my boss. I get that everyday so I wasn't surprised, rich spoilt brats who believe the world revolves around them.From across the small table, the first th

    Aria "Nooo," I screamed at the top of my lungs.The creaking door stopped halfway."Alright, young Madam, I'd take my leave now." Amelia's voice rose, and I could hear faint footsteps, which meant she was already leaving."That was close." I heaved a sigh of relief. “Later,” he said, “We finish this later.” He passed the back door out.Later? I loved the sound of that. Definitely later.I looked at myself, and messy was the word for it. I ran my hand through my disheveled hair, then after I picked up my shirt and blazer, which fell to the ground and adjusted my skirt, which had moved up.I made my way downstairs after I was sure I didn't look messy."Pasta?" I questioned Amelia"Yes, ma'am." She answered.Just glancing at the food I felt disgusted and irritated. Pasta used to be my favorite food but not any longer, it made me nauseate. I dipped my fork into the plate trying to take a few spoons to atleast fill my belly a little before I start the day's work."Uhhh" I resigned, I co

    EROTIC CHAPTER AHEAD⚠️⚠️RATED 18+ !!!!!AriaMorning came too soon. Zach and I didn't see each other after the awkward encounter we had the last morning of Quinn's departure, I thought he was angry but maybe not, he isn't that petty and he dotes on me too much to be angry. It was probably just the heat of the moment and it was necessary to stop the conversation.I stood in front of the dressing table in my bedroom checking myself out in front of the mirror. I buttoned my white shirt adjusting the short coffee skirt a little lower on my hips, the coffee-brown blazer hung perfectly over my shoulders. Professional. But the way it hugged my hips made me feel nothing but sexy.I turned sideways, admired the curve of my hips, the way the skirt tightened around my butt. A small smile appeared on my face.“So sexy,” I whispered to my reflection. My voice sounded soft in the quiet room. “So beautiful.”I ran my fingers through my hair one last time, letting the strands fall loose around my s

    Aria"You'll miss him?" He gripped my wrist domineeringly."Let go Zach, anyone could see us." I warned"Let them." He shrugged.I couldn’t stop staring.His hand was on my waist, holding me tight. He was so handsome it almost hurt to look at him.Tall. Strong shoulders. His body filled out his to
