Longer chapter :-)
Arthur was in deep thought as he drove Kiana back to her apartment. Their lunch date ended abruptly when she received a text from Juliana about the Clear cosmetic new product formula and it wasn’t rocket science to know who leaked it when only a handful of people had access to it. “I have to check on something. Stay home in the meantime and don’t let anyone in especially Daniel, Joane will stand guard while I take care of something.”Arthur’s deep voice spoke as he packed the car outside Kiana’s apartment.“What do you mean stand guard? And who is Joane?” Kiana asked as she looked at Arthur but he didn’t respond to her. Instead, he reached over to open the door, his huge frame brushing against her. Kiana’s breath hitched and her heart pounded heavily as his tantalising scent seeped into her nose. He was too close to her…“The door is open Angel, you can open your eyes.” Arthur teased making a blush creep up her cheeks as she released a breath she didn’t know she was holding. “Arthur
“What problem?” Kiana asked with a heavy breath. “Open the door so you can see it,” Arthur responded calmly. ‘How did he get back here so fast?’ Kiana wondered as she fidgeted with her hands wondering if what she did was a good idea but the ache between her legs reminded her what her intention was. Kiana breathed out as she walked to the door and twisted the knob slowly. Hazel eyes met her brown ones as they stared at each other while Kiana was still holding onto the door knob blocking Arthur from walking in. As if she would even stand a chance if he stepped closer to her or attempted to walk in. “I received your text,” Arthur spoke in a husky voice as he stared at her with lust-filled eyes. Kiana’s center throbbed as Arthur stepped even closer to her. ‘What was I thinking? I don’t even know if the man still hates my guts and wants to have his revenge by making me fall for him and then he leaves me bleeding. How else can I explain his roller coaster moves?’ “Well?” Arthur teased
Kiana sat in her office and stared into space zoning everyone out as she debated if it was time for her to come clean because she felt like the secret was weighing heavily on her. “Miss Frost?” Juliana called. “Mmm?” Kiana moved her eyes from the wall to face her assistant who was looking at her worriedly. Juliana hesitated momentarily before speaking, “Is it the leak?” “No, I have a solution for that don’t worry. But I’ll need you to look into who has been stealing from the company and a full report on Daniel before the meeting which is in a week. The launch is in three weeks so we have so much on our hands.” Kiana said. “I’ll get started on it right away.” Juliana nodded and walked to the door before pausing at the entrance and turning to face Kiana. “If you need me to kick ass, just let me know.” Juliana winked and walked out. Now alone, Kiana’s mind went back to the previous night as she stared at her phone. 'Should I call him and apologize?' She thought as a load of guilt
“Annabel, do you think she knows about our affair? I also don’t like how you spoke to me like I’m your follower. Why did you do that?” Daniel asked angrily but his anger didn’t even move Annabel because she knew he was already too in love with her. They started secretly dating months back thanks to her manipulation skills, Annabel convinced Daniel that Kiana was only using him for his political stance especially since her company was still struggling. Kiana was always too trusting and weak and Annabel used that against her to turn Daniel, "Running a company needs a ruthless couple like you and me D, don’t you see that?” She would whisper to him every time the board wrung them and dismissed any proposal. “I’m sorry, would you like me to be weak and fragile?” Annabel pouted before adding, “I’ll be anything you want because I love you so much!” She whispered as she pulled off her top and straddled his lap. “You know I like my women tough and bad,” Daniel responded huskily as his cock
“What made you change your mind?” Arthur asked. Kiana’s reason for her visit shocked Arthur because he didn’t expect her to speak about it so soon. “You don’t want to hear it?” Kiana asked in a soft voice as she played with her purse in her hand. Her heart was racing rapidly as she waited for Arthur to respond. Arthur stood up, walked over to his office couch, and gestured with his hand for Kiana to sit. “I didn’t say that.” Kiana’s features relaxed a little when she saw that he wasn’t as angry as he was the previous day. She looked up at him and was about to speak up when the door opened and revealed Tim. “Sir, you have a call from the CEO.” Kiana’s brows met when she heard that because what she knew was that Arthur was the CEO. So, what did Tim mean by that?Meanwhile, Arthur debated if he should pick up the call because he didn’t want his grandfather to know about Kiana especially after the two agreed he wouldn’t date anyone until the revenge mission against their enemy was c
“It was when we just got off high school and mum started getting sick, You always used to stay by my side helping me throughout when I had no one. I was so immersed in my problems that I didn’t even realize how I was ruining your life, so I guess he was right.” Kiana began. “Who was right and what was he right about?” Arthur asked with no emotion in his voice. Arthur wondered what could have happened back then because he went out to handle some things, he only received a terrible breakup message. He didn’t think such words could be spoken by Kiana. So, he rushed back to the hospital to hear from her and ask why all this was happening when he was told that, Kiana had left and her mother had also been taken to a new hospital. After two years of endless searching, Arthur’s love turned into sadness and then anger which then became resentment but somehow through it all, he never stopped loving her. With a pounding heart and sweaty palms, Kiana looked up at him and responded, “You see,
For the first time, Arthur’s coldness was replaced by warmth as he kept holding Kiana. Arthur’s mind was spinning because he knew if he didn’t want his grandfather to know about their relationship then, the feeling had now gotten worse. ‘If he thought she hindered my progress then what will he do when he finds out she's back in my life? especially with my revenge still in progress?’ Arthur thought as his mind spun for answers. Arthur didn’t want to let Kiana go even though he knew it was the better option. Kiana sensed Arthur's tension. She pulled away from him and asked, “Are you still mad?” “Not at you,” Arthur responded flatly making Kiana’s brows meet in confusion but she didn’t respond, she only nodded. “Let me take you home.” Arthur finally said but the way he said it made Kiana have more questions than answers. In her previous life, she never approached him. After meeting Daniel, she thought he would make up for the hole in her heart but even after dating for four years,
“No I don’t-” Kiana wanted to protest but was cut off by another crash on her lips. Arthur was getting turned on, his breathing labored and he quickly climbed on top of Kiana before parting her legs with his knees. "I want you... I can't hold back anymore," he whispered as he unbuttoned her shirt and grabbed her breasts, his lips crashing on hers in a fiery kiss. He groaned as pleasure shot through him and he rocked his hips, grinding his already hard cock on her mound. "Fuck, Kia," he rasped, holding back from tearing her panties and impaling her core with his rock-hard shaft. He peppered kisses along her neck, smiling when she released soft moans that felt like music to his ears. Kiana sighed erotically when she felt him take a nipple into his mouth, his other hand went into her pants, finding her pleasure button. “Please..” Kiana pleaded but didn’t know if she wanted him to stop or continue. Arthur stirred her mouth with his and kissed her like she was his source of air an
