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.NINA The setting sun bathed the familiar facade in golden light as we arrived at the house and relief washed over me. As the lengthy workday ended I looked forward to releasing the burden of my duties so I could exist freely. I shut off the engine while the cooling metal emitted a soft ticking sound which signaled the upcoming silence. Our exit from the car was marked by the doors shutting with a soft thud which resonated through the quiet evening atmosphere. Finally, we got to the house. The cool air-conditioned space welcomed me as my voice echoed "Honey, I'm back." The familiar sound of floorboards creaking under my feet always created a sense of warmth and welcome for me. The door shut behind me with a gentle click of the latch which assured me of my safety and the comfort of being home. Drew responded with "Yea, my love," his voice carried from the living room where the television light illuminated his face warmly. A smile spread across my face as I felt contentment washin
NINA. I stood up and removed the wrinkles from my corporate gown while recognizing my tailored suit as a representation of my professional status and power. The traditional lawyer's gown and wig I wore during official events appeared to earn respect as I got ready to undertake my responsibilities. "Alex we need to leave now," I told my colleague while maintaining a firm and resolute tone. Alex squinted his eyes as he asked me with curiosity "Laurel, what exactly will we do once we arrive?" I paused to take a deep breath and organize my thoughts prior to answering. I want us to prevent the auction from going forward, Alex. We must make certain that no sales take place without acquiring approval from all parties involved. My thoughts drifted to the evidence we had collected. “Audrey's voice note made it obvious to me that Bryan plans to sell the company solely for his own benefit”, I said. “Our case presentation must show how this sale would harm everyone involved” I continue. I ack
ASHLEY. As Ezra's words continued to echo through the air I stood motionless, shock paralyzing me while his piercing gaze locked onto mine causing my heart to plummet. His voice had a hidden poison as he calmly told me “ Ava and I had a child together”. His words wounded my soul deeply like a sharp knife cutting through my very being as I fought for breath. As I looked at my former lover I felt the revelation hit my abdomen with the force of a physical blow while I tried to understand its meaning. “I need to understand the man I ended up with”, The question repeated in my thoughts like a mantra of despair. The heavy tension between us became broken by Ezra's phone ringing abruptly like an off-key sound. His eyes remained fixed on mine while he picked up the phone with a low urgent tone. "How come?" His words showed concern mixed with panic. "How did he escape?" His voice climbed in anger while he spoke those words. I instantly recognized they were discussing about Morel. Ezra
ASHLEY POV Ava held Ezra's hand with a firm grip that reflected her need for security while Ezra kept his eyes fixed on me. Unspoken words and unresolved problems created an overwhelming emotional tension throughout the space. The heavy silence between us became a tangible force that felt like it might strangle me. The waves of hurt and anger engulfed me completely without any prospect of rescue. Our eyes remained locked together while I spoke in a barely audible whisper asking him "You're cheating on me, aren't you?" The words we exchanged hovered like both an accusation and challenge between us as I listened intently for Ezra's response. My eyes burned with both anger and pain as I stared at Ezra. You deceived me by hiding that she was your younger sister and now you're having sex with her in the guest room. My mouth spilled words filled with shock and betrayal along with disgust. The words hit me like a physical punch to my stomach that took my breath away. My growing anger
ASHLEY POV I moved at an increasing pace through the crowded market stalls. I quickly approached the friendly saleswoman and requested her to serve me more quickly. "My newborn is home alone," I told the madam urgently. The seller showed a gentle expression and gave an apologetic nod. She apologized for being late as she accelerated her work to process my sale while addressing me as "mam." My mind raced with thoughts of my newborn and the tasks awaiting me at home while I fidgeted with anticipation as I waited. A seemingly endless wait came to an end when I finished purchasing. After completing my payment to the seller I collected my bags and exited the market feeling a deep sense of relief. Today I will discover Ezra's intentions," I declared to myself while determination showed across my face. The journey back home began when I entered the car, my thoughts consumed by the upcoming confrontation. To prevent alerting anyone inside my house, I did not use my car horn as I drove cl
EZRA.I stood, yielding smooth and calculated movements, and I am headed towards the window, like a slowly dawning day opening a wicked grin. Now, in contrast to this bath of sunlight with radiant beauty, the sunlight highlights the impression on my face, with my eyes sparkling bright with an almost suggestive twinkle. I let out a deep laugh, the sound of which was extinguished between heavy promises of a shared secret. I barely managed to mutter a faint, "Ahaha." "She is gone, my queen," I murmured, in a dark husky voice, to Ava, who was staring back at me so intensely it could have melted any skin with awareness. The heavy meaning lay thick in the air, but Ava was staring unrestingly at my eyes as she rose from her seat in a graceful, deliberate fashion.Her eyes were ablaze as she came. It was everything I needed; in fact, I felt there was this heat being generated inside her; even the tension was palpable as it brushed past every single air molecule between us. Her lips gently m
