“It isn’t something that affects my work, it is personal. I will handle my personal matters,” Kenzie told her confidently.

I shifted in my seat uncomfortably. Looking at Natasha’s face, she wasn’t pleased to hear what Kenzie just said. Perhaps, did she know that Kenzie was my spy?

“Let’s stop talking about that,” I cut in, smiling. “We are here to have a drink, let’s not ruin the mood.”

Natasha began to laugh. Her laughter caused me tension. I couldn’t tell what she was thinking right

  • The CEO's Contract Bride: Marriage On Paper   Another Shade Of Confusion

    Natasha Florence and Max seemed like a match made in heaven. If they weren’t step-siblings, they would definitely be lovers. Even now, they seemed like each other's soulmate.“I don’t think anyone would be bored around you guys,” I said with enthusiasm.“If that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t like it. We only have one life to live, why should someone do it in such an uptight manner?” Max asked calmly.“Exactly. We should live our short lives in an exciting manner,” Florence agreed. Those two, they were really two peas in a pod.I saw Abigail begin to approach. She stopped in front of us and smiled, “I see you are getting along with Natasha.”“Of course. I think I might be in love with her,” Max muttered with a chuckle.“I know you are jovial but you shouldn’t make jokes like that, huh. If Bruce finds out-” Florence warned in a lighthearted manner.“Oh yes, I’d better watch my tongue,” Max replied and even more laughter ensued.“We are having dinner in the main building. Florence and Max

    Natasha “Natasha!” Florence called me. “Come over here.” From the way she sounded pleasant, I believed she didn’t hear my conversation with Maria.I walked towards her and upon looking back, I found out that Maria had backed away already. That sly woman… She has left me alone in the lion’s den.I gave Florence a bright smile and then turned to the men she was talking to. All of them looked at me specially and Max even squinted his eyes.Max was one hell of an attractive man. From the back, he was well-built so I was expecting him to be really young.Now that I saw his face, you could tell he wasn’t young but then he remained handsome and manly. I could instantly tell that he was the dream of many young women.“Who is she?” Max asked. Oh my God, his voice. It sounded so deep that I had goosebumps all over my body.“Natasha Stamford,” Florence replied. “She is Bruce’s wife.”“Seems like a nice lady,” Max commented. He looked at me for a moment and then shifted his attention to Florence

    Natasha I walked slowly, looking around to find Florence Webb. As there were lots of guests, I kept getting stopped on the way.Eventually, I found Florence, talking to some men I didn’t know. From the way she laughed around them, I could tell they were familiar faces.“I don’t think you should interrupt,” Maria told me carefully.“Why not? I have to talk to Florence,” I replied casually.“You can do that later,” Maria replied. “Do you know the man she is talking to?” I turned to her coldly,“I don’t know who he is and I don’t care. Moreover, isn’t there more than one man there? Am I the one who isn’t seeing properly?”Maria sighed, “You are right. There are about four men there but only one of them is important. Only one of them can speak to Florence and make her laugh the way she’s laughing right now.”“Who is he?” I asked curiously. I looked at the men carefully and noticed Florence touching one of them casually. I asked Maria instantly,“Is it the one wearing the blue suit?” She

    Michael “Did you just call yourself a guest?” Bruce asked, laughing. “News flash, boy, I don’t consider you as one. You never had the right to attend.”“Let me go, I can’t breathe,” I muttered. Finally, Bruce left my collar and I gasped upon being set free.“You’d better leave this instant. The entrance is over there. The longer I see you, the more I get pissed,” Bruce told me angrily. I clenched my fists in anger.“I won’t forget the way you humiliated me today,” I told him firmly. He smiled,“I did it privately. Do you want to go through real humiliation?”I backed off instantly and took the path that led to the entrance. As I walked, I kept looking back to see if he would chase after me.I was angry but at the same time, afraid. I was in his mansion. He could do whatever he wanted to me. From there, I got to the garage and drove off.I could only breathe properly after I had exited the mansion. Never again would I enter the mansion without any precaution.** It was late in the eve

Her laughter caused me tension. I couldn’t tell what she was thinking right now and this made me really afraid.“I’m sorry if I got too serious,” Natasha began to say after her laughter died down. “I just wanted to know if both of you were dating or something.”“No, we are definitely not,” I replied firmly.“Good. Pour us more whiskey, Maria. We should get drunk tonight,” Natasha said excitedly.“I don’t think you should get drunk tonight. You are supposed to meet Florence Webb today. I think you’ve drunk enough,” Maria told her gently.Natasha stood up instantly. “Fuck

    Natasha I found Michael talking to one of the guests and I pulled him aside gently.“Is there a problem?” he asked curtly. I smiled,“I invited you over even though we aren’t on best terms currently. We’ve been after each other’s throats for a while now, haven’t we?”“Well, err…” he stuttered.“I invited you here so we could fix that,” I told him calmly. “Even though we’ve had some rough moments, we also have happy moments in the past. How about you hang out with me rather than the other guests?”He looked at me, surprise visible all over his face. I was sure he still didn’t know my true motive.“Of course, we should find somewhere to sit and then we can talk,” he agreed.“Come with me,” I muttered. “There is a private bar in the main building. There will be no eyes on us there, that’s why it’s called a private bar.”He chuckled and started to follow me. I intentionally wiggled my waist as I walked. I could tell his eyes were on my backside. He must be thinking of wild scenarios righ
