ELIZABETH’S POVHeather had earlier informed me that she wouldn't be around as she was briefly going home for an emergency but Anna would be in charge of the house for a while.I groaned. I didn't like Anna’s cooking that much, but I guess I would have to manage.I woke Taylor up for breakfast but she was being so slow and lazy and I was damn hungry, so i couldn't wait for her anymore. I just told her to meet me downstairs and i headed down.As I headed down, a sweet smell wafted through my nostrils and I was surprised, Anna’s cooking surely didn't smell this good, or had she upgraded?God please let it taste as good as it smells, I prayed inwardly.The dining table was empty, which meant I was the first person coming down for breakfast today. Aaron and Ryan were probably still sleeping as today was a Saturday and not a work day.I decided to enter the kitchen to alert Anna of my presence so she could bring the meals out if any were ready.I entered the kitchen… And nothing prepared
Chapter 50ELIZABETH’S POVWhen Taylor and I arrived home, I noticed the Bentley that wasn't there earlier when I left was back in the house, which simply meant Aaron was back home. I don't know why my heart skipped a beat.We entered the house and as expected, Aaron and Ryan were on the couch, drinking. Aaron was still in his work shirt but his hands were rolled up to his elbow and the button loosened down to his chest I could see his chest clearly, there was a tattoo peeking that I couldn't clearly see, I swallowed hungrily. God! How much I wanted to devour this man, God help me, please. Help me control myself.Only Aaron could make disheveled hair look sexy.Our eyes locked, and he took me in the way I took him in.I forgot about Ryan until he cleared his throat and I turned to him, with a greeting smile.“Hey Ryan,” I greeted.“Hey Lil Mama,” he said, his signature smirk on his face. His eyes flickered briefly to Taylor who just stood behind me, before returning to me.“Taylor, y
Chapter 49AARON’S POVI groaned for the umpteenth time. I couldn't concentrate. The thought of Elizabeth refused to leave my mind.Fuck Ryan, why did he have to interrupt that moment in the storage room? Why did he choose to come at that moment?Talk about bad timing.Elizabeth was… was something else. Daring. Bold. Audacious. I had a feeling that she was type to go for what she wants… who she wants. And what if she wanted me?I thought back to the tabloid kiss the last time but I had not thought much of it because I felt she had just done that for the camera, but the one last night when she ground her extremely soft, well-rounded butt against me, it had to be intentional. Or was it the alcohol?I shook my head, alcohol only makes you bolder and brings out your inner thoughts.I've been hard all day because of the constant imagination that caused a lot of blood flow to my dick.I couldn't even get a job done for a full hour before I started reliving the events of last night. I wanted
Chapter 48.“That son of a bitch!” Taylor cursed running a furious hand through her hair as she stared at the picture of Sebastian and his wife on my phone. Her face was a mess, filled with tears and mucus from her nose due to the excess crying and smeared mascara because she had started crying with her makeup on from the previous day.“I can't believe I fell for this shit of a man!”I rubbed her shoulders gently. “Take it easy on yourself Tay”Apparently, after my encounter with Sebastian last night, he called Taylor and abruptly ended things with her—no explanation, nothing. Then he blocked her everywhere because he didn't want his cover blown first.Taylor started crying again. “I fell so deeply for him. I should have known it was too good to be true. Relationships never work for me”I pulled her into my arms. “He’s not worth your tears baby girl. And when the right man comes, your relationship will work just fine”“I don't know what's wrong with me. No man ever genuinely loves me
I opened my eyes, head banging. I looked around, i was on the couch.Damn, i must have passed out at the couch, but how come?I blinked, trying to remember the events of the night, while i remembered some, especially that brief moment at the storage room, the rest of the events were blurry.How i didn't make it upstairs surprised me.I sat up, then realizing that i was covered with a duvet.Ryan must have put it on me, definitely not Aaron.Or could it… could it? Nahh, not a chance.I stilled when i noticed i wasn't alone. Aaron was sitting on the couch directly opposite me, fully dressed for work, and he was staring.“You scared me!” i exclaimed. “Why are you staring at me like that? Its creepy”His eyes remained on me, not moving for a second, expression stoic, but that was nothing new.“I wanted to apologize for last night..” he started.I raised a brow, confused, did he want to apologize for responding to my advances yesterday in the storage room? Or did he want to apologize for h
“You seem so good at this” Shit, i didn't know when those words escaped my mouth. Starting a conversation with Aaron never ended well, i either got ignored or shut down.And when seconds passed and i didn't get a response, i knew i had messed up, again.“I wanted to be a medical student” came his response when I had almost given up.I was pleasantly surprised that he had replied me.“Really? Why didn't you pursue?” I asked.Without looking at me he said “Someone has to take over VD industries”I nodded. “Weight of responsibility,” i muttered. I was an only child and therefore a heiress but i didn't see myself taking over Knight Corp, I didn't know anything about the company.I think this was one of the major reasons my dad had agreed to this arranged marriage, with the merger and marriage rights, Aaron could run the company for me since he had more experience.But the divorce… Aaron and I were eventually going to get a divorce… right?I hadn't thought about that in a while. When we h
