DREW.
Breakfast was prepared, yet a mourning nostalgia weighed on my heart. I would walk down the hallway and hear a bit of Laurel and Morel's jibber jabber; all words lost under tones that sounded loud and heavy. I shook my head in pain and continued walking into the shower in search of comfort in the heart. As the water rushed down the channel, it scrubbed away much of the pain that was tightening my muscles. "I am zoning out," I said softly, maybe just a whisper. Going on next, all thoughts were tethered to my wife, a cute smile crept on my face. "I love my wife, sitting dearly," I said, as his heart swelled with affection. I came out of the bathroom, refreshed and walked toward the bedroom in which I changed into a nice, crisp blue suit. The fabric was smooth against my skin. I picked up the bag and prepared to race off to work. . "Suiting up on a Monday," I chuckled internally, battling to chase away that saddening moment. "Honey, I'm off to work," my voice echoed in the walls of the house. One of those greetings that needed one of those warm hugs or soft kisses from my wife instead received emptiness from them. "How could she not even give me a proper goodbye?" I felt gut-wrenching guilt again. Out to the car now. The cold morning air swept gracefully across my face, washing away many tears. I hummed on my way to work along with the sounds from the car stereo: a good distraction from everything that had transpired. It was before I knew it that I was already at the company. "Good morning, sir," the security man welcomed me with a smile of warmth and welcome. "Welcome." I smiled back, grateful for the familiar face; "Thank you so much," I said, my voice a little brighter now. I walked towards my office, and on opening the door slightly, walked in. The familiar space was now a haven from the gloom of disappointment the morning had brought. "It's time to work," I said to myself, as almost a release washed over me. I resolved to leave the marriage problems at the door and dive straight into the task at hand. I flipped through papers that were scattered across my table, letting my eyes sweep through the familiar papers. Sifting through papers, my gaze rested on a brown envelope that bore a familiar logo- MJ Investment & Co. "I'm sure this is the reply from them," I said to myself in excitement, because this meant for me a letter from them, which I couldn't wait to read its contents. Just when I was about to propel the letter open, a knock came reverberating on the door. "Who is there?" I called out, my voice firm yet polite. "It's Williams, sir. Your PA, sir," his voice echoed through the door. "Come on in, Williams," I said in a welcoming voice. I saw him open the door and step inside with a smile. "Good morning, sir," he greeted cheerily. "Good morning, Williams," I smiled back. "I was just about to open this letter," I said, pointing to a brown envelope. "Oh, that letter? It's good news, sir," said Williams brightly with an excitement sparkling in his eyes. "A contract has been agreed to be signed by them," he said, sending a rush of excitement pouring back into me. "Oh my goodness, this is actually going to be a celebration!" I exclaimed, breaking into a huge grin, with all that happiness rushing through me. Williams and I laughed and shook hands. "Yes, sir, afterwards, if you please. Maybe a bar," he suggested, still, that grin remained present. "Okay, then that's amazing," I said, feeling very close to my PA. "That was just good by me, sir," Williams said a little apologetically. "I'll go back to work, then," he said, going to leave. "Thanks a lot," I shouted after him, my voice resonating across the office. Just then, after Williams exited my office, another knock was heard. I did not bother to ask who it was. "Come in," I said with cheer. That was Ashley, my receptionist; she looked so gorgeous, the way he moved her hips could. Such a short gown made her attractive, almost laying a mirror spotless and clear as to showing laps. "Ashley, what are you doing here?" I asked her right away. She was smiling and walking toward me. "I see someone is happy this morning," nibbling her fingers. Again, she laughed this time; it was soft and throaty, sending shivers rippling through my spine. "Oh, please, stop pretending as though you don't want to fuck me," she poured out with a voice that started out as an erotic sound before she removed her shirt and revealed her muscular chest and abs. Indeed, her full-dead breasts stared back at me, and I had to take it; the thing was already hard and straining against my pants. Leaning in, I kissed her-hard and passionately, desperate and hungry. Her mouth tasted of yearning-on her end and mine. Her body began to radiate heat, and I had to feel it. I lifted her into my inner office, heart hammering. "I want you so bad," she moaned, gripping my shirt from both hands. "I'm gonna fuck you so well, my love," I told her, disposing of all my clothes in no time. I pushed her down on the desk and opened her legs widely. My dick was already throbbing with need, and all that I could do was run my hands over her chest, down her abs, onto her thighs, leaving goosebumps on every inch of skin touched. I could feel her heart thumping under my fingertips while her rhythmically short and sharp gasps came. Down below I reached with my fingertips and I touched her V******* and stroked across her sopping folds. She moaned and arched back from that office desk. I could feel the tremors of her muscles under my fingers, and at that point in time, her entire being begged for more. With a finger, I slid inside her. The tight, wet vagina was clenching against me. Her moans grew louder as she grasped the sides of the desk with her hands. I withdrew my finger and cleaned it off by sucking. Sweet, salty essence. Then I looked at her with a desire-filled gaze. I'm going to fuck you so hard so that you'll not be able to walk tomorrow," I promised.CARLA POV"I need to convince Audrey to accept," I said to Sean."Yeah, please do. He said "We need to convince her to change our vacation plans" while his eyes searched mine with hope."Okay, honey" came out of my voice while my stomach knotted up. Audrey functions as both my sister-in-law and my closest friend while being my most challenging persuasion target.I encountered Audrey in the afternoon while she was busy nurturing her rose bushes in the garden. She looked up at me while her face broke into a soft smile. "Hey stranger! To what do I owe the pleasure?" I took a deep breath to keep my voice relaxed. I came to appreciate the stunning plants you've nurtured today. I knelt beside her pretending to examine a beautiful bloom. Audrey, I need to share something important with you immediately.A subtle shift in her smile disclosed her recognition of the change in how I spoke. She set down her trowel. "What is it, [Your Name]?" I blurted out "Sean and I...we're together" before my
UNCLE SEAN I remained planted in the living room while I watched Audrey stand her ground and her determination showed through her posture. I was shocked by her unwavering stance regarding the company sale. She didn't see why this decision was the best option for everyone. I urged Audrey to listen to reason while maintaining a calm tone. "This sale will benefit everyone involved. This sale presents us with a positive chance to advance. Audrey shook her head while her eyes sparkled with defiance. She declared firmly she would resist any attempt to sell her father's company. I let out an internal sigh while frustration welled up inside me. Why was she being so difficult? Why was she doubting my ability to make the best choices for our family? Bryan told me with a chuckle, "Uncle, please speed up whatever you're doing." We need to stop additional drama from happening here. I gave him a stern look but he responded with a grin followed by a shrug. I exited the area and started walkin
AUDREY POVWhile sitting in the living room my hand moved through my social media feed without any real focus. A loud voice suddenly filled the air from outside my home. Audrey, what made you decide to do such a thing? How could you?" Bryan's voice boomed through the hallway as he shouted.I stood shocked and bewildered as my facial expression revealed my confusion. Who was he talking to? My eyes remained locked on the entrance as Bryan burst into the room. His face showed angry redness while his eyes burned with intense rage."What's wrong?" I posed my question to him while making an effort to maintain my calm voice."Oh, you ask me that now, right?" Bryan retorted, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Bryan extracted a letter from his pocket and displayed it by waving it above his head. Your actions have made it impossible to sell the company! he shouted. I felt a surge of defensiveness. "How am I because of this?" I asked, my brow furrowed in confusion. "What are you talking about, Bry
NINA. Mom, Lilian and I made our way to his office after the doctor called. I felt my heart sink when we sat down because the doctor gave me no clues about what he was thinking. "Let's move directly to the main topic," the doctor declared with a firm yet gentle tone in his voice. The transfusion process is progressing normally but there are test results I need to discuss with you. A bead of sweat made its way down my spine when the doctor's eyes met mine. "What kind of test results?" Lilian asked, her voice laced with concern. The doctor gave an acknowledging nod while his serious look showed a hint of newfound optimism. Morel's condition is showing improvement after the blood transfusion. Morel's blood cell count shows signs of improvement while his fever has reduced marginally. The tension melted from Lilian's face as relief spread across her features. She confirmed the positive update to the doctor while her tone became gentler. The doctor nodded. "Yes, it's a positive devel
NINA The doctor's words remained suspended in the air as my entire world began to fall apart. As Lilian squeezed my hand her fear became evident through her trembling. "What kind of tests?" I posed the question while maintaining a steady tone in my voice. The doctor nodded sympathetically. The medical team should perform imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans to obtain a detailed view of the problem. Lilian's eyes welled up with tears. She begged us to explain the situation with our son. "Is he going to be okay?" The doctor's expression softened. We need to wait for the test results before we can make definite diagnoses. We are doing everything possible to stabilize Morel while ensuring his comfort during this period. I embraced Lilian tightly while we both fought to keep our tears from spilling. Our resolve was tested each passing minute as we tried to remain strong for Morel. "Everything will be okay" I told her through a whisper. "We'll get through this together.” The
LAUREL I walked back to my car and experienced a sudden feeling of loneliness. The plane had vanished into the distance while Drew had also disappeared. A voice inside my head softly confessed my love for Drew.I shook my head, dismissing the thought. "No, I haven't," I told myself while attempting to sound believable. "But he is such a sweet soul." I looked towards the flight path of the plane while I experienced a deep sense of longing. My head rested on the car while I kept my gaze locked on the sky above. The words "I love you, Drew" came from my lips to my ears before I managed to stop them. I sat up straight right away and felt my heart pounding. "Nina, you need to stay focused," I commanded myself firmly. "You can't fall for him now." I drew in a deep breath to try and erase the feeling from my mind. I lifted my head before entering the vehicle and turned on the engine. The drive back to the house made it impossible for me to stop thinking about Drew. I thought about
