ログインIt was Sunday morning when William received a call from his uncle. He naturally expected a good berating, and maybe some lamenting too… And he knew his uncle would deliver, given the chance.
“How could you ruin everything your father worked for?” He bellowed the moment William picked up.
“I haven’t ruined anything, uncle,” he retorted calmly, while sipping his coffee at leisure.

It was Sunday morning when William received a call from his uncle. He naturally expected a good berating, and maybe some lamenting too… And he knew his uncle would deliver, given the chance.“How could you ruin everything your father worked for?” He bellowed the moment William picked up.“I haven’t ruined anything, uncle,” he retorted calmly, while sipping his coffee at leisure.“You dare talk back to me?!” He sounded beyond furious, and William was almost worried the man would pop a vein or something. “Do you even know what you’ve done?”“I’m sure you’re going to tell me,” William shot back, his voice still calm — not because he was trying to taunt him, but because he truly was calm.Why wouldn’t he be? He had settled the matter with the Black family, and no amount of reprimand
As Simone and William left the restaurant, she turned to him, eyes full of reprimand, “Don’t think you’re off the hook just yet. Unless you straighten things up with the Black family, you are not touching me.”William nodded at her in earnest, not even breathing a word.“Also, you need to make it up to me,” she added with a somewhat wicked smirk.“Anything for you, Angel,” he answered readily, a small smile stretching his lips.“I want to go to the cemetery, but I am not brave enough to go alone,” she said, her eyes growing tearful all of a sudden.“Sure,” he nodded. “How about this, you go with me to the Black family’s estate and I go with you to the cemetery?”Well, that came out of nowhere!“What do you need me there for?” She raised a
Despite what was said in the contract, Simone decided that she had given more than enough time and energy to the company. And thus, when 6 pm struck, she knocked on the door of William’s office, eyes resolute, tone firm, she told him, “I will be leaving now, Mr Stone.”William, who was on the phone, told them briskly, “Hold that thought,” and then pressed a key on his phone, no doubt muting it, before he addressed Simone, “Can we talk, Angel?”“What’s there to talk about?” She scoffed, rolling her eyes at him. “Should we talk about how you played me, or how I had to find out in such a despicable way that I was in fact the other woman?”“Let me just finish this call, and then let’s have dinner together and talk,” he let out in haste, his tone somewhat desperate — which wasn’t like him at all.It was precisely becau
The more Simone thought about what had happened, the more she was upset.Could it be that William had a secret fiancée he had not told her about?Naturally, he wouldn’t tell her… For if she had known of a potential woman in his life, she wouldn’t have made the jump and agreed to be his lover.She had just left the elevator, ready to go have a bite, when she almost bumped into someone. But not just anyone. It was Anthony, William’s best friend.“Oh, hey,” he greeted her jovially, as per his nature.“Hey,” she nodded at him curtly, not quite in the mood for jokes of any kind, or even a common exchange.“Are you okay?” He asked, sounding perplexed.“Hmm-hm,” she let out in reply, ready to leave.“Did our common friend give you trouble, sweetheart?” He went on, seemingly r
It was around noon when a woman stormed into the top floor where Simone worked alongside William.The woman, no older than 22, wasn’t here for a chitchat, and was haughty to boot.“Is William here?” She asked without even looking at her.She looked like she came from money, and was dressed like it — her ruby-red dress flowing down into beautiful cascades, and her designer purse said it all.But it was someone who wasn’t on the agenda… and someone who was rather rude to top it all up. No greetings. No nothing.Last time I checked you don’t own the building, woman, Simone was tempted to say but refrained from it very last minute.“And who are you?” She retorted instead, matching her energy, because she somewhat felt way too irked by this woman’s attitude and unmasked hostility.“The name is Nola Black,
“So, are you joining me for this shower, or what?” Simone let out in a taunting manner. Since they were awake anyways, they might as well make the best of it.“How could I ever say no to that?” His signature bewitching smirk was back to his face, and Simone could only giggle at that.Before she could even move an inch, he swept her off her feet, and her giggles doubled.“I can walk,” she tried to wiggle, despite her enjoyment.“I know. I know,” he nodded. “Humor me though. And stop moving around. I don’t want to drop you.”“Hai hai,” she mock saluted him.Upon entering, he let her down… Only no sooner did he, he captured her lips into a searing kiss. Though surprised, she didn’t waste a second, and kissed him back with equal fervor.Before long, they were helping one another get rid of all the barriers that prevented them from feeling each other. As they tore at their pajamas, she even heard something rip, but couldn’t bring herself to care right then.“You’re so beautiful,” he let ou
