CHAPTER 30NICOLEI freeze at the sight of both of them, flipping in my mind whether to fake happiness that she’s here or to keep up my lie that we had a big fight and remain indifferent towards her.The three of us stood there in awkward silence for a few seconds before the woman spoke.“Bella, your husband is a nice man, he has been taking care of me” she turns to look at Chris and puts a small smile on her face.Has been taking care of her? That means Chris has been in touch with her all this while and he didn’t tell me.I hope she hasn’t said a lot of things about me that I myself do not even know about, most of my childhood memories I told Chris were those of myself, the few vague things I told him about Bella were from her diaries.“He has?” I finally reply, opting to put on a smile to show my relief rather than keep up my supposed anger.Chris notices my apprehension and knows he has some answering to do, so he says “I’ll leave you both to it, I’ll let you know when I’m leaving
NICOLE“Manchester? I thought you grew up in Soho Bella” Chris paused and asked me, looking surprised.Before I can think of something to say, Aunt Alice replies again “oh it must be the amnesia, she only moved to London five years ago” making things even worse.“Amnesia? What amnesia?” Chris asked again, looking even more surprised.Luckily his phone rings that instant and he excuses himself to take the call, I could hear him screaming at someone on the phone and when he returned, he looked worried.“You guys carry on without me, I have to go” He said and grabbed his jacket off the chair.“What is it? What happened?” I ask him.“Two of our warehouses with over a billion pounds worth of goods were simultaneously burnt down” He replied.“I’m coming with you, " I reply, putting my phone in my purse and standing up.“No, you stay behind with your aunt and finish dinner.” Chis says and starts to walk away.“I’m sure Aunt Alice can manage,” I reply and follow behind him.We drove for abou
CHAPTER 32NICOLELenon fits are a female bespoke clothing brand and after Esther sent our proposal, they got back in touch with us and we followed up effectively, culminating in two other meetings and today we’ll find out if we get the deal or not.Esther, John and I are all seated in the beautiful lush office of Mrs Lenon, the CEO of Lenon fits.I’m convinced the woman has a borderline obsession with pink, her office chair is pink, the edges of her table are pink, the pens and pen holder are pink, the index papers and complimentary cards on the table are also pink.The window blinds are pink, the couches in the lounge area are also pink even her office cabinet was pink.I wasn’t surprised when she came in wearing a pink blouse and a white skirt on pink heels carrying a pink bag.“Sorry for keeping you waiting, my other meeting went longer than expected” she apologized as she took her seat.“That’s absolutely fine Mrs Lenon” John answered for the group.She brings out her iPad, scrib
CHAPTER 33CHRISI haven’t really been able to rest since the attack on my company on many fronts, first my warehouse and then my servers.Someone is messing with me and I need to find out who and teach them a lesson, the cops are beating around the bush, with no tangible information on the perpetrators.My software engineers do not also have a reasonable explanation as to why a software security system I spent millions of dollars on was easily breached and our database wiped clean.Thank God for the backup server or else we would have been toast but now all our client information, important files and documents, confidential information between us and our clients are flying in the wind and the people I pay millions of pounds to annually cannot seem to find a way to remedy the situation.“You need to get to the roots of this, I don’t care what you do, do you understand me?” I berate my team of software engineers.“We’re trying our best sir, it’s not as easy as you think?” The lead engi
CHAPTER 34NICOLE***FLASHBACK***“How about we all go and celebrate this achievement together?” Mason suggested as we all walked out of the elevator leading to the reception hall of the Lenon fits building.“I think that’s a good idea” Esther replies smiling from ear to ear, obviously smitten by Mason’s good looks.“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” I replied, staring daggers into Esther.Mason read the situation and spoke again.“It does not have to be a celebration, we can brainstorm some rough ideas on how best to make this work over a few drinks and food”“Good thinking boss” The guy that came with Mason said.One of the two men that came with Mason was Mrs Lenon’s personal assistant, this one I’m assuming is Mason’s new personal assistant.I understood the angle he was coming from, it was reasonable for us to at least sit and discuss a few ideas but I really wasn’t in the mood to entertain him in any way, after all this partnership was just dumped on us.“I’d prefer brainstormi
CHAPTER 35NICOLE“I don’t want to hear it Bella, until I get to the bottom of this and rectify this mess with the blogs, you are not to leave this house!” Chris' voice echoed through my room.After seeing the way Mason’s number was saved on my phone, Chris didn’t want to hear any reason, anymore. There was nothing I could say to change his perception. For all he cared, I was having an affair with Mason and I had soiled his reputation.Mason had called to apologize to me for the picture incident on the blogs but as soon as he spoke, Chris took the phone and yelled at him, issuing venomous words of threat to him.“Chris you can’t do this, what about the contract? At least let me see it through, I worked hard for it.” I pleaded in tears.“Forget it, Ben will take over from where you stopped.” And with that he slammed the door behind him.The next few days went by without any hassles, in his fit of rage in the office, Chris had smashed my phone and he wouldn’t even let me leave the house
CHAPTER 36CHRISI don’t know what annoys me the most, the fact that she would dare to have an affair with another man or the fact that she saved his number with heart emojis while mine is just saved on her phone as Chris Bale.No, I’m not jealous but if you’re going to have an affair, you should at least be discreet about your lover, not smothering his name with emojis letting the world know you care about him.I wonder what he has her number saved as, maybe Bella with pink hearts and a peach emoji?Focus Chris, stop thinking about how perfect her ass is, you’re supposed to be mad at her.“Sir the last of the blogs have taken down the photos. I contacted the social media platforms at your request and their accounts have been suspended, all of their websites servers have also been permanently blocked.” Ben interrupted my thoughts for the third time in not so many minutes.It’s hard to think straight with everything happening all at once, Bella had been my comfort for the whole period
CHAPTER 37CHRISThis woman is the devil, what sort of sorcery is this? Why is she getting into such a position? Damn! It’s hard to see her like this and resist her.Why is she raising her gown up? Her pussy looks so inviting from this view with her legs spread apart like this. Damn! My dick is getting hard. I need to taste this pussy this minute. It’s so hard to resist her seduction. I don’t even feel my anger anymore, just pure hunger to fuck her brains out.As I continued to struggle with my thoughts, Bella’s next words threw me over the edge.“If you’re going to punish me, punish me the right way daddy!”Fuck this! She’s getting pounded right now! I said to myself as I slowly unhooked my belt from my trouser.Ever since that day in her office, she’s developed this kink for a little torture during foreplay but today she doesn’t know what’s coming her way.I lashed the belt at her with little strength, landing on her butt cheek and she replied with a moan before saying “Yes daddy! I
