The man I slept with a few days ago, the one who made me scream in utmost ecstasy, the one I couldn’t get out of my head despite my situation, was standing in front of me, telling me he’s my brother-in-law?The room began to spin again, can today get any better?“Why did you flee before I woke up the other day” Ethan asked looking enraged with his eyes furrowing with concern, earnestly looking for answers. Still holding onto my wrist, he further asked. “I thought we had such a great time. Was the sex not good enough?”“Didn’t I fuck you so well? Why did you leave!” His tone deepened with his words being laced with quavering authority. “Please it’s enough, stop with the questions. This isn’t the best place and time to have this conversation. Can’t you see I look sick and unwell?” “Please have some empathy and help me to the living room” I responded, sounding breathless with my voice trembling in weakness. Looking deep into my eyes with a sense of compassion and curiosity, he
I sat at the veranda, staring at the graciously manicured garden. Just like how it was before I left home, the grasses were trimmed to perfection.The Gardner came everyday to take care of the garden. It was my favorite spot in the house. The smell of the garden helped calm my nerves, allowing me process my thoughts better. The ray of the sunlight spread a soft glow, and a calm breeze scuffed the dried leaves lying close to the trees. Despite how soothing this felt to my ears, I was far gone from the environment. I was lost in deep thoughts trying to make sense of what had transpired earlier between I and Emilia. Even if I saw it coming when I opened the parcel that was delivered to my house the other day. I wasn’t just fully prepared for it.Since my mother couldn’t get through to me , she thought sending an invitation card of the engagement of my brother and a short note would get me to come home. The shocking revelation was seeing a picture of Lucas and Emilia on the in
My mind was troubled as I struggled through the hallway leading to a curly staircase. My legs felt so heavy with weakness, making every step a hassle as I staggered my way to the safety of my bedroom. “This is your bedroom Miss Emilia. Please make yourself comfortable and if at any time you need me to do something for you, I’m just one call away Ma’am. Please get all the rest you need” the maid said. “Uhmnn, Thank you…very much. Please what’s your name?” I stammered.“My name is Alice”“Alright Alice, I will sure reach out to you if I need anything. You may leave now. Thank you” I said, sounding so frail and weak, my voice barely above a whisper. As soon as Alice shut the door behind her, I crashed into the bed like a deflated balloon leaving the lights on, shrugging myself under the duvet. I couldn’t get over the feeling of shame and regret threatening to consume me. “Oh God, everything is happening so fast. I have no time to even grieve about the death of my father.”
With a burst of excitement, I ran up the stairs heading to my room to do a soft and quick makeup. I reminisced about all my wild thoughts I had been having, about I and Lucas as I dusted my face with some Mary-k powder and then applied a lip-gloss. Since the first day I set my eyes on him, my soul tingled. My fantasies came alive unleashing my imaginations and desires. My joy knew no bounds. Lucas just had to be the man of my dreams. He embodied the person of my dream man so well. I couldn’t shake of that feeling of accomplishment. My thoughts have been consumed by us being together. I had imagined walking down the aisle, exchanging vows and spending the rest of our lives together.Kissing his succulent lips, our bodies touching each other. Sucking my nipples and moaning softly into my ears. A rush of arousal ran down my spine, my clit twitching as I imagined being in bed with Lucas. All I needed was a night of great pleasure with him then I can finally have a grip of him
My mother’s gaze widened in shock as she couldn’t believe what her eyes beheld.“Ashley!” she exclaimed, her voice shaking in astonishment. Her left palm flew to her forehead, trying to dismiss the revelation of what she just saw.A wave of silence swept across the room, making my chest ache in discomfort. I just wanted to disappear. I desperately wished the ground could open up and swallow me. I didn’t expect my mom to return to the Brooks’ residence until evening. She had informed me about a board meeting she needed to attend at the Wilson’s chambers and I thought it would take up most of the day. Lucas, sensing the tension, whispered, “I can’t even deal with this” before hastily walking out of the kitchen.My face turned bright red as I stammered, “Mm-mom, it’s honestly not what it looks like. Nothing happened. My mother’s face turned cold as steel. “Do you want to ruin everything I have worked for?” You have eyes for your sister’s husband-to- be? Your brother-in-law?” M
The sound of my phone ringing jarred me out of sleep. I shrugged out of bed, reaching for my phone to see who the caller was. Seeing that it was my secretary calling, I pushed the phone aside hoping to catch a few more hours of rest. But the call was persistent, interrupting my sound sleep. I had told my secretary the previous night that I won’t be back at the office until the next two days. I had attended to all pending requests and approval and told her to sort the rest in my absence.The thoughts of Emilia getting married to Lucas had kept me awake all night and I just finally fell asleep a few hours before the call came in. I had warned her if I didn’t pick her calls after calling twice then she should send a mail. The fact that the call was persistent, it means it must be urgent because her job would be on the line if it isn’t . I finally reached for my phone from the bed side drawer, shrugging off the remnants of sleep I had left.“Good morning Mr. Ethan, I’m so sorry
Asides from the heart monitor’s steady beep lingering faintly in the air, the silence in the room was deafening. The loneliness had me in a chokehold, suffocating me with it’s breaking emptiness. I was struggling to shake off Ashley’s condescending words she uttered before leaving me at the hospital. Her words pierced through my heart, crushing down it’s chambers. Hot tears ran down my cheeks. It just kept flowing as my guards were completely let down.My head pounded with a dull ache with my eyes feeling like they were going to bulge out of their sockets any moment, if I didn’t stop crying. My eyelids were already puffed and swollen from my persistent wailing. The thoughts of calling Tyler, my Ex-boyfriend popped into my head as I gazed blankly at the ceiling. The moments we shared still lingered in my heart, memories I thought I’d hold onto forever. Aside from my ex-best friend, Sarah, who had grown close to me just months before my father’s passing, Tyler was the only pe
“I can’t even deal with this now” I uttered as I scurried out, leaving Ashley and her mother in the kitchen. “I just can’t” I further muttered to myself, trying to ward off the image of Ashley’s sultry look. But it lingered persistently in my heart, haunting after my soul.Ashley’s seductive eyes held me hypnotized, sending a gush of desire through my nerves. Hmmn, I silently moaned, my dick getting hard, betraying my decision. Her accentuated, full, scarlet lips were so inviting, any man would yearn to kiss them. Her fitted, sweetheart, neckline top that hugged her boobs, making her nipples so transparent as she leaned against me, tickled my soul. Despite my attempt to shove her off me, she stayed persistent, aiming at what she wanted. A determined girl I must say. I thought inwardly, gently rubbing my cock.Only if I met her before this chaos. I would have her in my bed the very instance, fucking the hell out of her clit till she begs for her life.I was completely over
“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
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
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.
