Kate povEunice walked towards the boys’ room and knocked on it gently. The knob twisted, and the door gave way. It was Nathan who opened the door, and he had to look up to see the tall woman standing before them.Eunice smiled and said, “Hey!”Instead of replying, Nathan turned to his brothers and signaled for them to come over. Jason and Liam strolled over to him and also saw Eunice.“Hey… can I come in?”Jason shrugged, and the boys looked at themselves as if meditating on whether to let her come in or not. Liam opened the door wide for her, and then she walked in.She looked around the room and found it so adorable, then went to sit on the couch in the room. “I’m so sorry I had to disturb you.”The boys went to sit on their beds and were facing her but didn’t say a word.“Don’t you like me? Why are you guys giving me that look?” she asked.“Can I ask our dad who you are?” Nathan asked.“Oh! That… erm… in the past, your dad and I were friends—very close friends. Then he promised th
One of the men appeared all of a sudden and saw one of them on the floor. “What! Bitch!” he shouted, and others began to run towards him. I threw my shoe toward the man, and while he was guarding himself from getting hit, I ran speedily toward the room.The three men in the room ignored me and ran quickly away. I was confused and wondered if I was a ghost. Before I could take another step, I saw Roberto appear.“Find and bring me those men,” he commanded, and his guards ran after them immediately.I was still trying to catch my breath, having just run while trying to escape death. I looked at Roberto blankly and wondered how he found me. He walked toward me and wanted to grab my wrist, but I pulled my hand away. I didn’t want him to touch me. Was he not the one who sent me away and let me get kidnapped? He always punished and made up for mistakes. But what if I had been raped and killed before he found me? I was angry.Roberto then said, “Let’s go home.”“I will find my way home,” I s
My heart thumped so heavily I almost choked to death. “Oh my! You’re a kidnapper!” I realized I had to do something—fast. I attempted to jump on the man’s hand, hoping he would lose control of the steering, but he immediately took his hand off the gear and picked up a small bottle, spraying its content right in my face.Everything went black.I lost consciousness immediately. The driver glanced at my face and grinned as if he had found a prize. Once he parked before an uncompleted house, he jumped out and shouted with glee, “Fucking hurray! We’ll get to fuck a pretty angel!” His disgusting voice echoed in my fading senses.Other men began to walk out, drawn by his voice, eager to see the new catch.Then, a call came through on the man’s phone. I heard him answer it while asking one of his men to help light the cigarette he had just pulled from his pocket.“Have you got her?” Eunice's voice filtered through.“Yes, she’s here. Send my money already,” the driver said, puffing smoke from
Once the work period was over, Roberto walked out and was soon escorted out of the building as usual. He had told me to join him in the garage in two minutes—he didn’t want us walking out together so people in the company wouldn’t assume there was a relationship between us. He couldn’t afford to make whatever was between us public.While I was wrapping up my work and getting ready to leave the office, the door suddenly opened and Eunice walked in.“You bitch!” she spat furiously.I paused what I was doing and looked at her. Then I smirked and calmly continued packing my things. I picked up my small handbag and headed for the exit, but Theresa stretched her arms out to the sides, blocking my path.“Please move out of the way,” I said, trying to stay polite even though I was irritated.“Do you really think Roberto loves you? Hahaha...” she scoffed. “If he loved you, he wouldn’t have made you his mistress. He’s only keeping you around because you’re the mother of his children.”“Thanks f
Kate povWhen I remembered that Roberto once told me that loving any woman was impossible, I thought I might be thinking too far."Can I know how much I will earn as salary?" I asked.Without glancing at me, Roberto answered, "Multiply whatever amount you were to earn monthly as a secretary by two. That will be your salary for the position."My heart almost exploded with happiness. Double my salary? That was huge, and even the work I had to do was very little. This wasn’t even something to be sad about.But rather than using my leisure time to play games, I decided I was going to use it to come up with many amazing designs that might fetch me a huge amount of money in the future."Happy?" Roberto suddenly asked, and I responded instinctively, "Sir?"He paused what he was doing and asked in a clearer tone, "Are you happy that you have an increase in promotion now since your salary has practically doubled?""Kind of," I answered.A knock landed on the door at that moment, and Roberto ge
Kate povIt was late at night when Patricia walked out of her room. She was bored, and truthfully, she had thought she would be living in the same room with Roberto. After all, we were husband and wife. She never foresaw that we would be living separately.She could only reveal her identity after she had a baby for him. That way, no matter how angry he got, he wouldn’t be able to easily chase her away because she’d have a child for him.She impatiently walked towards the master bedroom. She knocked on the door gently but got no response. She knocked again and again, wondering if Roberto was inside or not.“Hello,” a majestic voice sounded behind her, and she turned at once. Seeing Roberto standing tall before her, her heart skipped, and she swallowed hard.“Hi,” she smiled. “I felt lonely in my room and decided to come and check on you.”“I don’t like people intruding into my privacy. I’m a very busy man, I hope you can understand that?” Roberto asked.“Yes, sure. But I also hope you’
