I sneaked carefully out of Lucas’s room, hoping to not be seen by anyone. I only wished my mother didn’t come interrogating Lucas about my whereabouts. I would have had a chance at getting another round of sex with Lucas. I could still feel his cock plunged in my pussy and his lips kissing every corner of my belly. My heart pounded with a desire, feeling both exhilarating and terrifying. Lucas had exposed my body to a new dimension of sexual pleasure. I couldn’t help but look forward to our next night together. I was lost in the blissful memories of our time together as I opened the door of my room.I peeped out, scanning through the corridor, just to make sure I wasn’t seen by anyone before closing my door with caution. “Where have you been?” A voice queried, leaving me frozen and stunned as I faced my door. It was my mother’s. I slowly turned around to see her seated across my room. Her eyes burning with rage as she kept swinging her legs in opposite directions, with
Christine’s curious eyes flashed between my face and my mother’s, with her gaze narrowed in concern. “What’s going on here? Why are you both yelling at each other?” She asked, with a hint of shock. The tension in the room was heightened and Christine’s question even made it worse. My mother was still visibly shaken in anger, her palms vibrating in the air. She had to clench her fist to subside her rage. “Pamela, you should know better even if Emilia doesn’t. She’s not supposed to be stressing.” She uttered, her voice low and calm. “Stay out of this Christine. Emilia is my child, and I decide however I please to caution her”. My mother snapped, her voice seeping in disdain. Christine’s mouth hanged open in shock, her brows raised in surprise. Then she shifts her gaze to me, her face calm. “Emilia, you know yelling and shouting is harmful to your health. This was why the doctor wanted you to be placed on bed rest at the hospital”.“You should be resting and not engaging i
A wave of silence swept through the room, with everyone focused on their food, trying to process what just happened.The sound of cutlery slamming the plates, and the crunch sound of biting into the food filled the air. Every chunk of food I swallowed, was harder than the last. My mind was reeling with Lucas’s words ringing in my head. My gaze caught his, scavenging for answers to the questions pilled up in my chest. Lucas suddenly stood up, dropping his cutlery on the plate, making a clink sound, jolting everyone from their thoughts. Everyone looked up staring intensely at him. “Oh, you’ve also lost your appetite right?” Christine smirked. Her jaw resting on the dorsum of her hands. Lucas’s gaze shifted to Christine’s, letting out a hiss as he moved the chair backwards with the back of his legs, which made a creaky sound before he turned to leave. Christine shook her head in disappointment. Every swallow of food was agonizing, shooting a sharp pain through my guts.I
My eyes flickered open, the first thing my eyes met with was a stranger’s gaze, staring intensely at me. I was startled, my mind hazy from yesterday’s alcohol. “Who the fuck are you?” I demanded, my voice hoarse from the hangover. “How did you get in my bed?” My eyes cleared up a bit, and I saw that we were both stark naked. I yanked the duvet to cover my embarrassment, my face glammed with shock. The strange lady smiled with a coy look worn on her face. “Oh please, stop acting like you have amnesia. You picked me up at the club last night, remember?” She muttered, swinging her hair to the back of her right ear. My head panged with an ache as I tried to recall what happened the previous night. I held my head, groaning in pain, standing up from the bed. I staggered to chair and picked up my pant trouser. I took out some cash from its pocket, then I flung it at her. “Leave”. I commanded, my tone icy. She slowly shrugged herself back in the duvet like she had no
“Get me a cup of coffee”, I grunted. “Right away Sir”. Olivia replied, leaving my office. I paced about the office, struggling hard to catch my breath. Hurt that I thought I had healed from, that I had gotten over years back, came crawling back to my heart. I held my chest tight, pain erupting from my ribs, making me grasp for air. My heart panged with anger, frustration, resentment and pain. The office suddenly became stuffy, the air still. Beads of sweat layered around my neck even if the air conditioner was at 16°C. I fought to forget the memories we shared together that flooded my mind like a burst dam. Samantha was my first love, my first heartbreak..My world came crashing the morning I woke to a letter besides my pillow, stating that she was calling off our engagement. I jerked off the bed, searching for Samantha in my then apartment. She was nowhere to be found. I rang her phone countless times, until it stopped going through.I remember how I drove to
The persistent ring of my phone flickered my eyes open. I reluctantly reached for my phone to see Daniel, the pharmacist’s caller ID flash on my screen. I had told him last night that I wasn’t interested in meeting up anymore, but Daniel wouldn’t take no for an answer. He insisted that I must fulfill my promise and I couldn’t stand him up just like that. I sighed deeply, rubbing my eyes gently with the dorsum of my hands. Sleep still lingered in my eyes as I picked his call. Daniel’s voice erupted from the phone immediately I picked. “You really think you can stand me up and go scot- free?”His voice was stern and menacing, his words welding up knots in my stomach. “Oh please shut the fuck up.”“You must really think that I will be so foolish and bring myself so low to sleep with a commoner like you, just for a mere help that anyone could have rendered.”“You are really delusional Daniel.”“Do you fucking know who I am?”I snapped, sleep clearing up from eyes.
With an intense ache panging my chest, I forced my eyes shut, hoping I would sleep and not wake up again. I was at the end of the rope, void of strength to carry on. Every bleak of hope was dashed out. I kept sinking in misery, deeper and deeper. The reality of my new life had finally settled in. A life I was forced to choose. I shut my eyes even harder, praying for my final sleep. I didn’t know when sleep overwhelmed me. Hours into the sleep, I saw myself running and running, with darkness spread about. I kept running and screaming for help. My head turning from left to right as I struggled to wake up from the terrible nightmare. I started hearing chattering of voices from afar, a very faint noise. The noise became loud and close, like a deafening roar of a volcano at the verge of eruption. My eyes snapped open, my upper body jerking off the bed. My mouth hung wide, gasping for air.The realization that it wasn’t real but a nightmare, calmed my thrilled nerves.
The room seemed to hold its breath, the air thick with tension. My declaration hung in the air, hitting Lucas as a shock, taking my mother by surprise. Ethan took a seat, a hint of smile dancing on his lips. His countenance elated, as he wiggled his legs to the sides. Ashley on the other hand was beaming with excitement. She tried so hard to conceal it, but I could see through her body language. I didn’t seem to know why, but she looked like someone who just won a lottery. Lucas’s face turned red, fire blazing from his eyes. He clenched his fists so hard, like he was resisting the urge from going physical with Ethan. Reginald Brooks nodded, his expression unfazed.“Very well then. Hence forth you will be working closely under Ethan as his personal assistant”. “This is will foster a tight bond between both families”. “And to you Lucas, I expect a smooth handing over to Ethan and that you also work closely with him”. “Let him guide and show you how a company is suppos
“The next time you pull a stunt like that, you will be fired”. I snapped as Emilia walked into my office. My eyes narrowed with anger seeping through. “Have I made myself clear?”“I.. I’m sorry Sir. It won’t happen again”. Emilia swallowed hard as she apologized. “Good”. I said, my expression stern. “Now let’s move on to more pressing issues”. I declared, my anger dissipating. “The company’s annual dinner comes up soon, and I want you to handle the preparation.“Everything you need, make it known to the accounting officer and to me also.” “Is that understood?”“Yes sir”, She answered, her gaze cast to floor.“Now, get to work”. I dismissed her, my tone icy. Just as Emilia turned to leave, her hands reaching for the door knob, I called out. “Wait!”Emilia stopped and then turned back, her expression questioning. “Anything else?”I stared at her for a second and instructed. “I need you to make a reservation, for one night at a hotel”. My countenance i
My anger boiled over, my eyes blazing in fury, with my grip tightened on the collar ends of his shirt. “What the fuck have you done?” I yelled, my tone menacing. Christine’s eyes widened in shock as she jerked off her seat, trying to rescue Ethan from my grip. “Emilia, you need to stop right now!” She snapped. But my anger wasn’t swayed. My hands locked tight unto Lucas’s shirt, demanding an answer, without flinching.However, Lucas remained calm, a spiteful grin worn on his face. He then held my both hands, gently removing my grip off his shirt, with a menacing smile. “Next time, act accordingly”. “I’m your husband to be”. He whispered, his breath blistering against my skin. My face twisted with resentment, my irritation grew. “You disgust me Lucas and I hate you with every passion in me”. I barked, loosing my hands off his grip, before turning on my heel, storming into the living room. My legs took me as fast as it could to Alice’s room. Tears layered in m
“Lucas right?” Jennifer asked, my gaze drifting back to her. “Yeah, Lucas”. I replied, curiosity etching my face. Jennifer sighed deeply, her head shook in dismay.“I have seen him a few times, with these same men”. “I fear that these men aren’t affiliated with the company”. Jennifer said, tucking her hair strands behind her right ear. I just sat there, listening to her, my gaze lingering around the table he settled in, hoping he doesn’t notice me. I was certain that if he noticed my presence, he could cause a scene, hence drawing people’s attention to myself. I wasn’t up for such drama. I thought inwardly.Lucas and the strange faced men spoke discreetly, their expression void of emotions. A few moments later, Lucas stood up, his fist clenched as he stormed out of the restaurant. I quickly ducked my head to avoid being noticed. Relief washed over me seeing that he had left. Shortly after, the waiter came with our order, with a calm smile worn on his face. T
“Our next move is to track him down and demand for the goods we paid for”. “Either by torture or dialogue, the goods must be recovered”.I whispered, my voice menacing. Reports got to me earlier that morning, that the underground marketer I had contacted for a job, hasn’t delivered the purchased goods. I made a quick stop at the Medilone restaurant, a few miles from the office, for an urgent meeting with my fellow underground marketers, to draft out a plan. As we settled in our seats we discussed further. “If we don’t get him immediately, they will come after us, so we need to act fast”. Rogan urged, his voice barely above a whisper. “I think Martel is the man for the job. He can handle urgent cases like this”. I suggested, rubbing my temples. “Alright, put a call through to him then”.Alex muttered. Just as I picked my phone to dial Martel’s number, Thomas my accounting officer’s call came in. “Fuckkkkkkk”, I snorted.It completely skipped my mind that I had sch
The HR’s voice jolted me out of my reverie, and I blinked, my gaze focused on the HR’s face. Initially, my sight was blur, but as my eyes locked onto her facial features, recognition dawned. “Wait! Jennifer Smith??” “It’s a lieee”“My Goodness!” I exclaimed, tears welling up in my eyes. “This can’t be true.”I froze for a second in disbelief. “Jenniferrrrrr.”Then she stood up from her seat, my arms wrapped in her warm embrace. “Look at youuuu”. Jennifer said, her face lit up with a radiant smile. “What are you doing here?”“Wait, you’re the new staff?” Jennifer asked, her eyes searching for answers.I nodded, trying to contain my excitement. “Yeah, I resumed today”. I responded, a bright smile spread across my face. Her expression suddenly turned serious. “Wait a minute, it’s been how many years now?”“Six years right?”I sighed deeply.“You just disappeared, Emilia. I searched everywhere for you but no one seemed to know your whereabouts”. She muttered,
My temper flared, my jaw clenched in frustration as I picked the call. “Tyler, what do....”But I was interrupted by a strange feminine voice, leaving me aghast. “Hello Miss Emilia”.I pulled the phone away from my ear to check the caller ID.It was then I realized, it wasn’t the same number that called the previous day. “Are you there?” She asked, her voice soft and calm. “Y..yeah”. I stuttered, my anger replaced with curiosity, my mind wondering who the lady was. “This is Juliet, Mr. Reginald’s secretary”. “I’m calling to remind you about the board meeting that starts in an hour”. “Mr. Ethan has also been looking around the office, searching for you”. “Board meeting?” I asked, my mind puzzled. “Yes ma’am, didn’t you check your mail?” “I sent a brief yesterday evening”. Email? I muttered to myself. How did she get my email address? Shitttt, Ethan’s father.I recalled. “I’ll be there shortly”. I assured, hanging up the call. Resuming late on my first da
I stayed in her arms a little longer, pouring out my built up misery. Her arms felt like my father’s warm embrace wrapped around me, a breath of comfort to my soul. I felt like a child, who ran down the stairs but tripped. Expecting to fall to the ground, getting bruised and injured, but fell into the arms of her father. The last time I felt this genuine hug was shortly before my father passed. Where he beckoned to me for a hug, our last hug before his passing words.“It’s okay Miss Emilia, please stop crying.”Alice begged, drying out the tears from my cheeks with her apron. “Alright, let’s go fix the meal together”.I sniffed back the tears, clearing my nostrils.“Oh no Miss Emilia, you could just locked the door when I leave”.“You need to rest ma’am”. She replied, her voice low and calm.“Let me Alice”. I insisted. “Are you sure about that ma’am?” She asked, concern etching her face.I nodded, insisting I wanted to follow her to the kitchen. Alice helped me off
She’s lucky that twat came to her rescue. She won’t be that lucky next time. I don’t know what hold Ethan has on her, but she’s mine. Emilia is mine. I’m going to fuck her real hard. I’m going to punish her with my cock. Whether she likes it or not, she’s getting married to me. She can then decide after my inheritance has been willed to me, if she wants to stay or get a divorce. Why can’t she just corporate? If she really doesn’t want to be with me, she can leave after the marriage.She can’t come ruin all I have built all these years. My mind clouded with rage, my fist clenched as I walked through the corridor, heading to my room. I was about leaving the office that afternoon, when I heard the rumor that Ethan visited the office. He didn’t only come to visit but wanted to be CEO. How would one just wake up one day and decide to return to where they abandoned years back. I went to my father’s office to confront him, but he had left the office already. Only
The ding-dong sound of the doorbell pricked through the thick air, alerting the arrival of Dr. Harrison. Ethan walked swiftly to the door to welcome the family doctor, worry etching his face. Dr. Harrison appeared with his stethoscope in hands, and a first aid box in the other hand as he walked in. Everyone’s eyes lit up at his arrival. Without saying a word, he rushed to the sofa where Christine, my mother-in-law to be laid on.Christine was still conscious, her eyes open, groaning in pain. Dr. Harrison bent forward, plugging the stethoscope buds in his ear while placing the other end below her left breast, to listen to her heart beat. He then moved the other end of the stethoscope to the front of her chest near her collarbone, to check for her breathing sound. My breath was still as I waited in anticipation to hear the situation report, but all the doctor did was nod his head while assessing her. He finally spoke.“Ma’am please, can you tell me what happened?”Befor
