The moment Ezekiel uttered the name "Brown," Elena's expression shifted as if she had seen a The moment Ezekiel uttered the name "Brown," Elena's expression shifted as if she had seen a specter, her throat tightening with an audible gulp. Sensing her distress, Ezekiel was quick to read between the lines and surmise that her nightmare had somehow involved this enigmatic figure. He reached out and gently grasped her shoulder, drawing her closer to him despite her initial resistance. Though she may have been shaken, he was determined to provide her with a sense of comfort and security in this trying moment."Relax, there's nothing to be afraid of. And don't worry, I promise I won't bite," Ezekiel murmured reassuringly as he tenderly placed Elena's head against his chest, allowing her to take comfort in the steady thump of his heartbeat. As she struggled to steady her breathing and shake off the remnants of her distressing dream, Elena found herself inexplicably drawn to the broad expanse
STIMULATED CHAPTER TEN
Elena lounged in her room, gazing through the window that offered a serene view of the Cabin's backyard. A larger pool sat just beyond, and she could make out a lone figure floating languidly in its depths. The man appeared to be asleep, his head reclined and his arms outstretched to their furthest limits. Elena wondered if it was the receptionist taking a leisurely dip."How can a receptionist be so carefree?" She asked rhetorically, wondering why the receptionist would just sleep off, forgetting that he was to resume his duties that day.Elena felt a bit pissed and decided to make the man resume his office. She went ahead to knock on Ezekiel's room door."Come in" his deep voice filled the air. "Um, I think there's someone in the pool sleeping. Will that be okay?" The utterance had an instant effect on Ezekiel's demeanor as if a switch had been flipped. "Is he courting his demise?" Ezekiel fumed, perplexed at the sight of someone dozing off in the pool while he stood there, the on

The depths of his depravity were laid bare for all to see, leaving Elena feeling both disgusted and violated."Hmm… Ahem, Ezekiel!" Mr. Brown called."Yes?" He answered, looking up quickly and lowering his neck back to his laptop but he was listening.Mr. Brown raised his glass cup a bit and the steward beside the pool refilled it with Baileys. He rubbed his lips together while looking at Elena before speaking. "I believe the gorgeous lady beside you is your new secretary?" Brown asked."Certainly," he replied."Nice! Although this is your first time bringing a secretary along, I've long heard about your habit of changing secretaries quite frequently," Mr. Brown smiled deviously as he spoke."Brevity is the soul of wit, Brown. So why don't you cut to the chase and tell us what's on your mind? That I'm being too choosy or..." Ezekiel regarded him with an unflinching gaze, his curiosity tinged with a hint of skepticism."Be calm Ezekiel, since you'd soon replace her anyway. Why don't y
STIMULATED CHAPTER TWELVE
Ezekiel rearranged the chess pieces and prepared for another game, but Elena declined and proposed a game of Monopoly instead. Despite playing for over thirty minutes, she still ended up losing to him. Refusing to accept defeat, Elena suggested playing Scrabble instead, a game she excelled at. However, despite her expertise, the outcome remained the same - a loss for her."Quit looking at a CEO like that. My resume is pretty impressive, you know!" He said."How does your resume add up to being a game wizard?" She remarked with frustration."Ahem, so you admit that I'm awesome?" He gave a dignified look. Elena's ears became red. She didn't know when she became absorbed at the moment and got carried away having a good time. She forgot about the fact that she was just in a bra. "I'm tired of losing. Even if I'm keeping you company, isn't this just too one-sided?" "Then what do you suggest? Although winning continuously does feel good" Ezekiel said with a satisfactory smile on his face

Immediately she stood from him, he turned his head and spoke."You should thank me for absorbing all your cold," he said with a wink and she felt flustered. "Good Morning," she greeted without looking at his face. "Morning, you slept quite well. Since you feel quite uncomfortable, you should leave" he stated. He acknowledged that most respectable women would feel bashful being intimately exposed to a man for hours on end, particularly when they were not romantically involved. Yet, Ezekiel felt a renewed sense of calm; he had never imagined that slumbering beside Elena would be so restorative. It had been he who had carried her to the bed, her unconscious body clinging to him as he navigated their way through the night.*******As soon as Elena arrived at her room, she hastily secured the door behind her. Thankfully, it seemed that nobody was stirring just yet, or at least nobody was loitering in the corridor outside. Her room was conveniently located adjacent to Ezekiel's, and she
STIMULATED CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Smith was determined to get Ezekiel to divulge more about his feelings towards Elena, even if it meant teasing him a little. He suspected that there was more to Ezekiel's admiration for his secretary than mere professionalism, but he knew better than to try and manipulate him with reverse psychology. Despite this, Smith couldn't help but smile and chuckle to himself as he was almost certain that Ezekiel harbored some affection towards Elena."What's so funny?" Ezekiel asked."Oh, nothing… I was just imagining how Ironic it would be if.. if Brown became a liability to a woman in the future, contrary to his own belief of a woman's worth" Smith answered and stopped laughing immediately. He put on a more casual countenance."Hmmmm" Ezekiel squinted his eyes, trying to figure out what Smith was up to."Pffff…. As if! Even your imagination is ridiculous, it's comparable to your stock managerial skills" Brown stated."Of course my skills are impeccable. I'd take that as a compliment," Smith

As they reached the wall, the steward came to a halt and gingerly pulled at a tuft of grass, revealing an intricately crafted door made entirely of ornamental blades. With a gesture, he signaled for Elena to proceed unaccompanied, while he carefully maintained his grasp on the verdant portal.As she crossed the threshold, it seemed as if Elena had traversed into an entirely new realm; a vast array of structures lay beyond the fence, well beyond what she had originally believed to be the compound's periphery."Please follow me," another steward who had been resting on the wall said. Elena was startled yet again.'What's the deal with these stewards? Do they have a knack for being creepy?' She said in her mind with an annoyed look.In stark contrast to the limited amenities of the previous segment of the compound, which consisted solely of a cabin, dining area, and pool, this new area was teeming with a multitude of edifices. The steward escorted Elena to a particular building, and thou

Elena was taken aback by Ezekiel's unexpected prowess on the dance floor, completely unaware of his hidden talent. While she was impressed by his skills, a twinge of envy crept in as she longed to be the one gracefully executing those dazzling moves by his side."You don't even know my name," she stated as the dance continued, placing her hand on his shoulder."All I needed was the dance but aren't you Alicia?" He replied."Wow. I'm honored that you know my name, George must have let it slip" she said, twisting her lips to the side.Unbeknownst to them, they had become the center of attention, captivating the gazes of everyone around them. In the eyes of onlookers, they were the epitome of a perfect pair, seemingly meant for each other. As Ezekiel noticed the many lingering stares, he gracefully ended the dance with a dazzling move, earning a round of applause. It was then that Alicia deftly slipped a note with her contact information into his pocket and whispered some parting words i
