Se connecterKEITHI spent most of the time teaching the lads what they ought to know…what Saint should have taught them long before now.Again, I wondered what they had all been doing in the labor house all this time, but I didn’t let that bother me for too long.“There is no getting tired unless you are done with your tasks!” I told them all. “And lunch today is cancelled,” I informed them.Most of them murmured, especially the younger ones, but they couldn’t speak out. They knew that they wouldn’t dare.I got them so occupied that soon enough, they were hardly thinking of looking towards Mia’s direction, which was also good enough for me because that way, I could also concentrate fully on them.“I have my eyes on all of you,” I told them firmly.After spending hours teaching them, I assigned tasks to them, but that wasn’t all. I stayed right there and supervised everything. My eyes were on every single one of them.Saint should have done his job properly. I was upset with him, but right now, I
KEITHI stared deep into Mia’s eyes, searching for the truth, but her eyes were blank. Aside from the fear that resides in her eyes, they didn’t speak of anything else, so I couldn’t tell if she was lying or not.“Are you sure?” I asked.I was ready to get rid of Jackie if she was ever the reason Mia was like this, but Mia nodded.“I am, Keith,” she responded.I was still holding Mia’s chin up, and her lips were now dangerously close to mine, and as they trembled slightly, I felt the irresistible urge to kiss her, and I didn’t hesitate.Gently, slowly, and tenderly, I kissed Mia, and she didn’t turn away. She didn’t exactly give in immediately, but she didn’t refuse it.It wasn’t a deep or passionate kiss, like I had given her before; it was just a simple kiss on her lip, but a wave of desire rushed through me, threatening to spill out, and my cock sprung to life almost immediately. Mia was the only female who could arouse me instantaneously, or this quickly, and it was taking all m
KEITHAfter Jackie left, I went back to what I was doing, totally unbothered.I never knew that she had developed feelings for me, and what I told her was nothing but the absolute truth. Hopefully, it would kill whatever obsession or infatuation she had been harboring in a while now.About thirty minutes later, I decided to go to the labor house. There were a lot of things to be done there, and the lads still needed supervision.I opened my office door, and Mia jerked in fright, making me worried about her.“I thought we agreed to keep my office door open until I say otherwise?” I asked her.“I wasn’t the one who closed it,” she managed to respond.Mia’s voice was a little shaky, which confirmed my suspicion that she was afraid, and I wondered why. She also seemed uncomfortable.“It is your job as my personal assistant to keep it open,” I told her. “It was only normal for Jackie to have shut it when she left,” I added.Mia drew in breath fearfully, and I couldn’t tell if she was scare
JACKIE Never in my entire existence had I ever gotten my heart shattered in this manner, and worse, Keith wasn’t bluffing.He wasn’t joking.His words were deep and firm, and they sliced through my heart like a sharp blade.All my life, I had been waiting for Keith, desiring him, taking out every obstacle with the belief that someday soon, he would eventually see that I was the woman for him, only for him to say these words to me without flinching.He wouldn’t have been this way if Mia Atwoods hadn’t come into the picture, worse, the little bitch had gone to flush all her pills down the sink; the pills that were supposed to help me get rid of her.I was still reeling from the shock and raw disappointment of that when Keith threw this big blow at me, and it hit me square on the face. It was even more devastating that all this time I thought that I was being discreet, Keith had known all along. Tessa, when she was alive, had told me that Mia was a virgin.Did Keith fall in love with h
KEITHWith Mia’s demands, I was beginning to reconsider my stance on letting her work for me, especially after the question she asked me about my former secretary, but I didn’t expect the last words she just blurted out.“You did what?” I asked her, wanting to be sure that I had heard correctly.“I flushed all my pills down the sink,” she responded solemnly.“When did you do this?” I asked.“It was a mistake,” Mia said, almost sounding as though she was scared, and I wondered if she would soon begin to tremble.I didn’t want that.I didn’t want Mia to be scared of me, or to tremble in my presence, but at the same time, I also needed her to understand that I would also sound like this; stiff and gruff.Life hadn’t been fair to me in any way, and as a mafia, I had learned to become this tough. Softness was never taught to be a part of a mafia, so oftentimes, this was the only way I could communicate with her. I wasn’t like the boys she must have gone to college with. They were privilege
MIAWhen I heard loud knocks, I knew that it was Keith even before I peeped to check. The moment I saw that it was him in front of Jackie’s door, I went back to my bed. I didn’t want to care what he was doing in Jackie's room. I didn’t even want to think about it so that I wouldn’t get jealous, so I intentionally kept my ears and eyes closed.I recalled that some nights ago, I had seen a man running out of Jackie’s room at night. Now that Keith appeared, I wondered if it could have been Keith, but then again, Keith didn’t seem like the man who would be sneaking around. Besides, if he was sneaking around, he wouldn’t be knocking now, would he?“I don’t have a business with this, and I am not going to let it disrupt my sleep,” I told myself firmly.However, my mind drifted to Tommy.He didn’t tell me why he couldn’t take me to the cliff tonight, and a big part of me was curious to know. I had really wanted to, and being turned down, even though Tommy did so remorsefully, just sucked. O
