View MoreLONDON'S POV"I'm sorry." The words came from behind, making me turn immediately from the door, Lost in my own thoughts, I entered the room without realizing that George was present. My mind was occupied with my mother's request and her condition, causing me to be unaware of my surroundings. Although I knew George was at home, my distraction made me oblivious to his presence on our bed as I walked in.My heart leaped into my throat at the unexpected sight of my husband, “George!” I exclaimed, the shock of his sudden presence nearly causing me to lose my composure. “You startled me,” I said, my voice a mixture of relief and surprise. As my eyes adjusted to the scene before me, I noticed a romantic display of rose petals and cards decorating the bed and a beautifully wrapped present perched atop the dresser. A warmth began to spread through my body, slowly dispelling the anxious thoughts that had dominated my mind just moments ago.I repeated his name, my voice betraying the wonder an
LONDON'S POVAs I drew closer to Charlotte, her eyes widened, revealing the anxiety she felt at my approach. I was content with the discomfort I caused her, and I maintained our locked gaze as the space separating us became smaller.Charlotte’s mind seemed to race, searching for an escape route in a matter of mere seconds. As quickly as the panic and indecision had set in, she broke free from our standoff and fled toward the shelter of the nearest restroom. My lips curved into a knowing smirk as I watched Charlotte run away, the false air of nonchalance that accompanied my response only served to emphasize the fact that I was fully aware of her attempts to avoid me. Although Charlotte was at the top of my suspect list in the case of my sister’s murder, I had decided against confronting her directly, instead choosing to keep my investigation under wraps for the time being. Turning my back on the direction she'd fled, I headed towards my office, determined to bide my time and conti
CHARLOTTE'S POVAs I strolled out of the office, a lady caught my eye. She was walking towards me, and while I knew most of the employees at the company from my weekly visits, I was certain I’d never seen her before. Her refined demeanor suggested she was no ordinary employee.As she glided past, I noticed she was carrying a flask, and my curiosity was piqued. She didn’t seem like the type to be sipping from a thermos in the middle of a workday. I couldn’t help but wonder about the mystery lady as she disappeared into Oliver’s office. My mind was swirling with questions, but before I could think further, my eyes met with those of Paris, startling me out of my thoughts.I was so engrossed in observing the woman, I didn’t even notice Paris walking towards me. I wanted nothing more than to avoid Paris. Ever since her wedding to George, our paths had remained purposefully uncrossed, and I preferred it that way. I had no desire to be reminded of her, and certainly not when she was marrie
OLIVER'S POVI had barely had time to catch my breath after settling into my office when the door flew open, and Charlotte stormed in, fury etched across her face. But my concern was far greater than her furious expression.I was more worried about the issue that had sparked such a reaction.“What do you think you're doing here?” I snapped angrily, watching her approach my desk with an unstoppable zeal. She seemed to ignore my question completely, and I pressed on, my voice rising with each word. “I asked you a question!”“I told you to stay away from my office,” I said, my voice laced with authority. “I also asked you to keep a low profile. So, why are you barging in here like you own the place and can do whatever you want?” I interrogated her, aiming to remind her of the hierarchy between us."Oliver, I'm sorry for barging in, but I had to tell you the latest development. It's urgent," Charlotte said breathlessly, the words tumbling out of her mouth in a rush.“What could possibly
GEORGE'S POV"James," I said, interrupting the comfortable silence that had settled between us in the car. "Do you think there's something I'm doing? Some way I'm behaving towards Paris, that's not good? I can't help but wonder if there's something I'm doing that's contributing to the problems we're having." My voice was filled with concern as I confronted the possibility that I could be part of the problem."Huh!" James' jaw dropped in shock, like I had just said something completely out of the ordinary. I could see the surprise etched on his face as he replied instantly, his eyes still fixed on mine through the rearview mirror. My own brows knit together in irritation as I stared back at him, frustration boiling up inside me. How could he be so shocked when I was only trying to do the right thing?James quickly realized the seriousness of my inquiry, and with a jolt, he pulled himself together, his eyes back on the road."Sir, I don't think you're doing anything wrong at all," he
LONDON'S POVLater that night, I couldn't sleep. I was still feeling a little funky I hadn't said a word to George since the night before, and I needed to breathe some fresh air, so I stepped out into the garden. My mind was runnin' a hundred miles a minute, thinking about my sick momma and feeling all kinds of upset with George. I didn't know what I was gonna say to him, but I knew I had to sort out my thoughts before we talked.As I stepped into the garden, my breath caught in my chest. There, sitting on the bench and staring up at the sky, was Cassandra. The sight of her made me smile. I didn't even know she was up so early, but I was glad she was there. I tried to keep my voice light as I greeted her, saying a simple "Hi" with a small smile. But my sudden appearance caught her off guard. Her eyes flew open, and she gasped, her hand flying to her chest as she tried to calm her racing heart. I'd surprised her."Oh, hey!" Cassandra replied with a little smile. She hadn't been expe
LONDON'S POVBeing at home that particular day, George had asked me to take the day off. As I browsed through my phone, his call came in,"Hey, angel!" George's voice, smooth like velvet, caressed my ears and my heart. Hearing his endearment brought a rosy blush to my cheeks. He'd been showering me with love all day, making me feel like I was his queen. I couldn't help but feel giddy with joy."Hey!" I responded with a low soft tone, smiling as I did,"How're you doing?" He inquired, in a tone I wasn't familiar with, making me both uncomfortable and joyful at the same time, I had always known the cold, stern George, and hearing him sound all sweet and gentle made me feel embarrassed a little."This is the third time now," I responded with a light chuckle unable to contain my excitement,"I know... I just want to make sure you're fine." His words came again coated with deep emotions,"What could happen to me in our house, with all the security both in and outside?" I teased walking tow
GEORGE'S POV,The following morning, my head was pounding from all the alcohol I'd drunk the night before. I put my hand on my head, wincing as I felt a sharp pain. When I brought my hand back down, I felt the soft skin of her chin next to me. That's when I realized her arm was wrapped tightly around me. I turned to look at her and saw that she was still asleep.I whispered to her, "Good morning, angel." I planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, letting her know how I truly felt about her."For a moment, I thought last night was just a dream," I told her, my face beaming with a genuine smile. "But I'm so happy to find out it wasn't."I was awestruck by her beauty and found myself captivated by every detail of her face, her skin, and her hair as she slept soundly. The sight brought a wide smile to my face.Trying not to wake her up, I slipped out of bed as quietly as I could. With her still fast asleep, I was struck by the urge to do something that would show how much I cared and make
GEORGE'S POV I emerged from the bathroom, towel around my waist, and my eyes were drawn to the figure of Paris. I stopped in my tracks, unable to tear my gaze away as my eyes traveled from her shapely thighs to her hardened nipples. Her pearl-sized breasts drew my attention, and I felt an almost overwhelming desire to caress them and have them pressed against me. The sight of me caused Paris to gasp, and she quickly grabbed her top from the bed, using it to cover part of her exposed breast. Her instinctive action snapped me back to reality, but I was unable to ignore the burning desire that coursed through my veins. I found myself drawn to her like a magnet to metal, my steps quick and purposeful as I approached her without hesitation or restraint.As I approached, Paris's eyes widened in surprise, a mixture of fear and curiosity shining in their depths. Despite her initial attempt to cover herself, her body betrayed her desire, leaning into me as I came closer.I placed a hand on
