๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โA lot had happened and was still happening within the space of two weeks; the amount of times that Adrian has come to beg me for what he did has become inestimable. He said he had no idea that body-shaming was an offense in the modern world and that he'd gotten educated a lot on the matter. He pleaded with me so many times. Also, the noblemen had shown their faces and informed me that a meeting was almost at hand. According to them, we'd moped around for too long and it was time to get things going like the way it used to. They said they were going to shed more light on the traditional way English people ruled during the next meeting and I, for one knew that it was going to be hell. Finally, a security guard had been eyeing Gina recently and she wouldn't even shut her mouth about how he wasn't her type and all. She said his name was Andrew--quite predictable. Oh... How did I forget Marcus? Honestly, he was supposed to be the t
MONIQUE โMany would've thought I'd stick to my word and continue to ignore Adrian, but that was far from the case here. Adrian, there was something about him that I couldn't quite comprehend yet. I'd stayed late on many nights during our phone calls, trying to figure out why this dude had me wrapped around his finger. I'd never had a problem saying the word no to things I had no interest in, but when it came to Adrian, I couldn't. This man had persuasion wrapped around his tongue and had to capability to woe someone into something he'd rejected at first. He'd finally convinced me to come to Buckinghamshire--about forty miles north from Central London where I resided. As we spoke, Gina was doing the finishing touches to my makeup and Solomon was waiting for me to come outside so he could drive. The whole country knew about my plans to visit him as apparently, it was obligatory. There'd been some kind of rumor going around, but I chose not to
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐Gina was pissed all morning, but I hadn't questioned her about the reason. We would get to that later. In the meantime, I had to look for how to survive here for the next couple of hours. "Oh, my lady." Solomon was opening the door for me when Adrian's voice made me lookup. "So good to finally see you. I'm so glad you came." He took me in and was taken a little bit aback by my choice of clothes, but he didn't show it too much through his facial expressions. "Hello," I feigned a smile, dreaming and hoping it had the slightest bit of reality in it. I didn't have care in the world if Adrian knew it was fake. Where my interest lay was whether it looked authentic. "May I show you around for a bit, my lady?" He took a bow, showing me his palm. "But the weather's changing. It's showing signs that it is going to rain madly." Gina's voice interspersed our conversation. I almost burst out laughing because she'd faked a British accent. Adrian's countenance immediately changed
MONIQUE โAdrian; I know it didn't go as planned, but I was so glad you came. Theresa's forgiven you for what you did and I'm really hoping we can get to do this again. Hissing, I turned off my phone and rolled to the other side of the bed. โIf there was anything I'd acquired knowledge of about Adrian over the next couple of weeks, it was that the man was one hell of a mulish creature. He was a go-getter and that meant he'd go to any length to get whatever he wanted--that was where I came in. It had been over a week and had sent an uncountable amount of texts. He was so relentless about it. I guessed he wasn't to be blamed for any of it. It was all my fault. If I'd rejected his invitation to come to the castle at Buckinghamshire, none of any of this would have happened--or so, I was guessing. I puked all over this man's mother and all he could do was ask if we could do it again. At that point, it was safe to say that the spirit of persistence lurked around that man's spirit, s
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ"Who is that bitch?" Gina yelled and I pulled her closer to me and used my hands to cover her mouth. "Watch your language." I corrected. The sounds she made were inaudible since I had my palm pressed against her lips. That didn't stop it from being funny. She struggled and broke free before saying. "Oh, please."She sauntered towards the door and twisted the knob. "You know, it's kinda insane knocking on someone's door like that. I advise that you make good use of your brain the next time you want to attempt shit like that." She didn't even let the person speak before those words came from her mouth. I walked in the direction of the door and when I eventually got there, I pushed Gina away so she was out of the line of sight of the person standing at the door. I thought I was going to see Maria there since it'd been a while since I last set eyes on her, but it was someone that I had no memory of. A short woman that was barely five fe
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ"Marcus?" I said as I approached where he sat. He angled his neck in such a manner that he could see me and I inhaled sharply. It had been forever since I'd seen him, but it didn't mean that I'd been forever since I spoke to him. "Ah, my lady. I'm honored you're here." He was eating something. "It feels as though I interrupted a moment. Do you want me to leave?" I didn't him to say yes, but if he did, I'd turn around and walk away and try to never think about him ever again. Bitch, you know that ain't possible. "No, my lady. Please stay." He dropped his plate of food and got up from the becnh6he sat on. He offered me a seat next to him and I sat. He breathed freely like he'd found solace in my presence. The atmosphere seemed right to have a conversation, but since none of us was ready to speak first, it seemed it was wasted. The silence was growing very frustrating and I doubted if I could sit and continue to stare. It would have
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โThe arrangement was terminated as swiftly as it was proposed. Not like it was any of my business who Marcus slept with and how he lived his life, nonetheless, I felt some type of way after I saw another female worker sit on his lap when I peered through my window the other day. He didn't even try to push her away. She sat there comfortably, her ass pressing against his thighs. God, did I really feel this way towards him. It was getting out of hand. I'd rejected his food for five days in a row and told Gina to visit any of the local restaurants she'd tried and get me food from there. Not to lie, it was shit compared to his, but I had no plans of asking him to cook for me again. When he came to deliver my dessert the day after we sat in the garden, I was about to go to bed and Gina informed me, I told her to tell him not to bother. One thing that pissed me off and made me yell at her was how she described it to me. She said it looked
MONIQUE โWhen one was hungry, he or she did the unimaginable. Or perhaps, it did the unimaginable to us. Hunger brought me to my knees that day. Starvation almost ended my life. Right there and then, as I knelt close to my bed, I decided I was done taking any more of it as I reached over for my phone laying not too far away. Picking it up, unlocked it, and went to my contacts. Finding Solomon's name and clicking, it didn't take him so long to respond. "Hello, madam." "Solomon, have you ever eaten at a restaurant here before?" I asked him. The first thing that was going to come to his mind was probably oh, my boss has gone crazy. Conceivably, I was indeed crazy. "Um yes, boss. A couple of 'em." "I'll have a bath and meet you soon. You'll drive me to the one that you think is very good." "Ok?" From his response, he wanted me to go into details, but the phone call was ended quickly. I was going to be the last man standing in this game of surviva
