ONE WEEK LATERCHRISTIAN’S POV “Yes, Officer Gavin. I appreciate your efforts. Thank you.” I said, and the call dropped. I turned from the window and faced Hayley, who was lying down on the bed. We were both fully discharged from the hospital, and Khalid was still there. And I always made sure I checked on him every day. Hayley, on the other hand, still had to go to the hospital for her antenatal. Officer Gavin was telling me about Denver, and they caught him. He didn’t even hesitate to cooperate with the police; he sold Alexander out. The police were now looking for him, he and Alexander made the deal about putting the bomb under my car. And other news aside, the person who was trying to poison Bernard was a maid in the house. Her motives weren’t clear yet, but she was with the police now. I also heard that Cassidy fell to her death—not that I was being insensitive, but she deserved it. That would be the last time I would ever see Cassidy in my life, and I was thrilled, to be hon
HAYLEY’s POV“You are a fucking thief, Hayley and I should have known when I gave you this job.”“You are fired, Hayley… I do not ever want to see you anywhere near my property.”“You are good for nothing… very useless and on top that, a thief”I took another swing of the bottle in my hand, my head buzzing with unsettled thoughts and the crippling fear that I was a twenty five years old jobless woman in New York.I giggled at the thought, my eyes blurring as I took another swing of the beer. My throat burned and my eyes watered as the beer hit my tongue, traveling down to my stomach but I did not care… it was nothing compared to my shitty life.Chester had been right about one thing when he broke up with me via letter, never minding that he had left me in crippling debt.He had said there was nothing I was good for and he had been right.Here I was in the middle of a dingy bar and cradling a beer while I thought about how I wasn’t going to starve for the next couple of days until I got
CHRISTIAN’s POVSOME HOURS EARLIER“One more whimper and I am going to punish you, Erica” I drawled, rotating the feather pen around her nipple.Her eyes rolled back in her head as she whimpered a second time against my instruction.I frowned, slapping her bare buttocks with my palm while she moaned loudly.“Please” I heard her beg“No, baby… you do not get to beg for this. You will take anything I am willing to give you and you will be grateful”She nodded, panting as she waited.My body tingled, my cock hardening even further as I kissed her navel, my fingers trailing spread thighs.This was one of the many girls I had fucked this week and I wasn’t even sure her name was Erica.“Turn around and arch that back… I want your ass kissing the air” I commanded.She turned, her knees wobbly as she knelt arching as far as she could while I smiled at the view.Erica had been adamant when I had approached her at the club for a quick fuck. She had sworn she was not that kind of girl and that sh
HAYLEY’s POVHe had to be fucking crazyMarry him?What were men on these days to have such fucking blatant audacity?I climbed the stairs to my home, sighing as I kicked the shoes I had on, awayTo think I had thought he had something important to say, like maybe offer me another fucking job.Marriage was the last thing on my mind and to a stranger?I stared at the card he had squeezed into my hand; one that held his number and name.Christian Montgomery.… I readWhy the hell did it sound oddly familiar? Like I had heard it somewhere and it was something I ought to know.“Whatever” I scoffed, tossing the paper aside and collapsing on the sofa.I had to call my friends but they worked late at night at some strip club so I did not think they would be with their phones at the moment.They had gotten me the job so it was only right that I told them I had been fired for something I had no idea about.Although I was pretty sure I had been fired because I had refused the advances of his son
CHRISTIAN’S POV“Fuck man! You mean you did not even know the chick’s name?” Khalid laughed heartily as I explained what had happened the previous day.A small chuckle escaped my lips, It was tradition for Khalid and I to give each other the experience we had with any random we fuck. In this case, I was telling him about my little awkward situation with Erica, I mean Cressida.“Dude, and the whole time she was just letting you call her Erica?” he stretched forth his hand towards his glass of wine.I gave a casual shrug, “yeah- I mean there wasn’t time for corrections when I had her mouth full with my cock”He took a sip from his glass, shaking his head in denial as small chuckles escaped his lips. I reached for my small glass of bourbon; my eyes catching on the behind of a small figure moving around in the bar.Her hair was packed into a messy bun, the uniform was short enough for me to see her thighs and the beginning of the curve of her ass when she bent forward to place drinks on th
HAYLEY’S POV I figured with each painful and frustrating day spent living in this personal hell that is my life, I realized that God has favorites. Chester almost humiliated me at the club last night. I also drew the attention of a stranger, who never seemed to leave me alone. Since the first day we met, he could pick up on the fact that I was needy and broke. Is that how everyone sees me? a total fuckup? I eventually got to see my mom at the hospital yesterday; I couldn’t even pay her clinic bills. I felt so ashamed. I couldn’t look her in the eye, but I felt her pity. I couldn’t do this anymore; I couldn’t keep depending on Kitty and Darren to survive or let myself down. So I took his advice, the handsome, judgy stalker. Christian Montgomery, CEO of Montgomery Enterprise Holdings I could almost swear that the name sounded too familiar, but then I just couldn’t quite get it. I kept staring at the card he gave me and the big name boldly sitting on the company building as I stood
CHRISTIAN’S POVAs I sat and waited for a reaction from her, my mind couldn’t help but go back to Rebecca. She was starting to push her boundaries; she was becoming a problem. I don’t like problems; they piss me off.Even though I hate to admit that this is my entire fault, I should have known better than to fuck my secretary. What the hell was I thinking? It’s not even office romance; it’s more dom and sub.My thoughts briefly flickered back to Hayley, and I couldn’t help but marvel at her ability to catch me off guard. There was a raw innocence about her that intrigued me, a stark contrast to the polished women who typically surrounded me.But I don’t want her as a submissive anyway; pure innocence sometimes bores me."I’ll Marry you” My eyes widened in surprise, she agreed.I got up and walked towards where she stood, my body towering over her small figure.As I kept staring at Hayley, the door to my office swung open, revealing Cassidy’s entrance. I shouldn’t be seeing more of this
HAYLEY’S POV "Moving? To where? What’s going on, Hayley? "Kitty kept pestering me with her numerous questions as she followed me around the house as I shoved my things into the duffel bag I moved in with anyway. "I really can’t explain it, Kitty; I wish I could tell you…."I paused and she stopped abruptly, narrowing me down like she was waiting for the remaining sentence. "But?" She arched a brow.I exhaled deeply, in as much as I love kitty. I couldn’t risk letting her know about this arrangement, news spread. All she has to do is blab to one person and it’s over for me. "I promise that I’ll explain everything as soon as I can, I’m sorry and I love you" Kitty moved closer to me, "I just want to know you’ll be fine, if where you’re going will be of great help to you then I won’t stop you." I let out a soft smile; She had always supported me. "Be safe love." She pulled me into a hug before I dragged my duffel bag and walked out of the apartment. Terry, Christian’s driver quickl
