I grabbed the cup and smashed it on the floor, shattering it into pieces. Isabella entered now, attracted from the noise I made. Annie had stopped laughing by now. She must have realized how mad I was.“Did you use expired sugar?” I asked her, trying my best to control my anger.“I used salt, little man,” Annie replied. That must be her reply since I called her little lady yesterday. I closed my eyes and clenched my fists.“Is this supposed to be funny?” I asked angrily.“It is called payback, little man. You do it but you laugh but you can’t receive the same, huh! You have a short temper, little man,” Annie replied savagely.“One more little man and I will…” I stopped talking.“Will you hit me?” Annie asked, her voice loud all of a sudden. Now, both of us were serious with this. It was no longer a cheap prank.“The maids will be listening. P
“I knew their marriage wouldn’t last! She is such a gold digger… marrying someone twice her age,” I said loudly. The expression on Julian’s face was a killer afterwards. He stared so hard that I thought he planned to put a hole through me.“What do you know? You shouldn’t make comments over matters you don’t know!” Julian told me firmly. I gazed at him, wondering why he was overreacting.“It’s not as if you know Maggie Zachy personally. You also know nothing like me,” I replied ignorantly. Julian simply hissed and continued scrolling. He was really upset. I didn’t mind him again. He could go to hell if he liked. I would shower and go to bed first.In the bathroom, silly thoughts began to come to mind. After all, we just got married. I began to fantasize about a passionate night together. I would stroke that chest of his and…Fuck! I was going crazy. I wrapped it up only to find out there was no nightwear in the bathroom. I wrapped myself with the towel and stepped out quietly. Julian
We need to talk! Could you spare me a few minutes?" Julian asked calmly. "Will you leave if I say no?" I asked sarcastically while maintaining eye contact. "Excuse us, Isabella," Julian muttered. Isabella did as he ordered and he closed the door after her. He had a brown envelope with him and he placed it on the table. He sat down and I sat opposite him. We stared at each other for a minute and he broke the silence. "I'm sorry about this morning. I am usually level headed but I was flustered this morning. Everything happened unexpectedly, you know..." Julian apologized. It sounded sincere. "I guess I should say I understand," I muttered. "I have an offer for you," He shifted the envelope towards me. I picked it and raised my eyebrows, seeking an explanation. He understood and continued, "This scandal, if not controlled, can be the end of my career. I thought long and hard and I think I've found a solution." " The solution is in this envelope?" I raised it. "Exactly!" Julian re
"Did you sleep well?" He asked naturally. "What am I doing here? What the hell did you do to me?" I began to ask. I checked my body but my clothes were intact. "You held onto me. I didn't want to but you made me. You kissed me first. Don't you remember?" Julian asked me."I did nothing of that..." She paused. I guessed her memories were returning to her. "Did I really do that? To you of all people..." "Of course!" Julian replied. "Anyway, we kissed and that's all. We didn't have sex!” I took a deep breath now. I heard his phone ringing and he picked it up. "I will be at the office soon. I'm fine!" Those were the first words he said. He looked alarmed and cut the call afterwards. “Photos,” he muttered. “Someone took a picture of us last night. It's trending!” I picked up my phone and checked quickly. There was an article in the main newspaper already."Entertainment CEO, Julian Holland, spotted alongside rookie actress, Annie Richmond, at a hotel." He looked alarmed. He must ha
As I walked into the bar, I could see a woman drinking. She was sitting exactly at the place I used to. I go to the bar several days a week but this was the first time I was seeing her. I went there and sat next to her. "Shall I get your regular, sir?" The barman asked me. I nodded and the barman got ready. The barman knew me, of course. I was a well-known customer there. I turned towards the woman now. She was a beautiful one but I could sense she was sad just from the way she drank. I asked the barman to get her another drink, it was on me."Thank you for the drink," She muttered. Our eyes met and she seemed to be processing where she had seen my face. I was a popular public figure so she might know me.“Do you know me?” I asked just to be safe. “I'm not sure,” She smiled at me. We didn't discuss after this. We drank in silence and then, I began to notice her stealing gazes at me. I didn't care at first but since I was interested in her, I took that as my opening. "Do I look tha
I walked out of the room.“Annie!” He shouted. He pushed away the girls and ran after me. He held onto me, stopping me from leaving.“Let me go!” I said firmly, not turning back.“Please,” I heard him say. I turned back and stared at him. He was fully naked. His penis was half hard. “Let go!” I shouted, pushing him away slightly. “You irritate me!” **I had meant to stay away from Duncan but I got a text from him. “I need to see you at the office. As your boss.”He had neither conscience nor empathy. With my job on the line, I had no other choice than to see him. At the office, I began to hear whispers I never paid attention too in the past. Apparently, Duncan had impregnated a 19-year old model, Miranda. Now, I was infuriated. I had no wish to keep my job with such an animal.As I walked angrily to his office, a group of ladies walked past me. They were recently signed to the agency. Definitely, Duncan had slept with every one of them discreetly. I entered his office without kno
