NAYA'S POVI paced around my father's study as I waited for him, my heels clinked on the marble floor, and I was getting dizzy, but i continued anyway, I needed this, if I sat down and waited it would not feel like an urgent matter, but then I started to feel a slight headache, this was because I hadn't fully rested and my body was weak since I didn't eat anything except what I had in the long flight back, I had to stop to sit down, I dipped from the coffee Lita sent earlier and it calmed my nerves, it was then my eyes began to take in my surroundings, it's been so long since I entered into this office, probably when I was eleven years old or so, when I was still a daddy's little obedient girl, it still looked the same, big, cold and... dark, but the desk and chairs were new, and so was the paintings and wallpapers, there was just a few changes, like the enlarged wedding photos of he and my mom that was always up on the wall was not there and so was the one kept on the desk too, I mov

NAYA'S POV"We've arrived, Mrs Carter" the gruff voice of Griffin, the driver called as we rolled into the garage of the new house, it was a two storey mansion, with an all white exterior and a beautiful wide pool at the side a beautiful rose garden by the fence, the place was breathtaking, I didn't want to start guessing how much it worth.If everything works out this beautiful place will be my home for the next seven months, I reassured myself.William wasn't with me, it seems there was an emergency at the office, so he took an Uber there ,because he left abruptly without a word, not like I wanted him to say anything, we haven't said a word to each other since ever I saw the girlfriend he loved and wanted to be with, Suzanne Pierce was beautiful, with her blonde hair and striking blue eyes, her slender waist and her fashionable, yet classy way of dressing, I couldn't compare to her in anyway no wonder he called me a child the first day we met, Suzanne Pierce was a beautiful woman.

WILLIAM'S POVThe look in her eyes said it all, I had hurt her, I shouldn't have apologized, to what was the best night of my life, I've had sex but with Naya it was different, she was different. Now I've messed up, the way her lips quivered while she said she didn't remember what had happened and that she was drunk sent a pang through my chest, why did I have to fuck this up and why must it be now?As she gets up to go to the bathroom, pulling the duvet to cover her body that's when I saw it, the bright red mark on the sheets, I felt it last night, the resistance when I first entered her, it may had occured to me but I was far too lost in her sweetness and didn't ask, Maybe I'd have prepared her, make it good so we she could enjoy it too, but she assured me it was a long time for her.

WILLIAM'S POVI was jet lagged and exhausted from the flight, from the wedding and today I've not had a full day rest.
