Chapter 4
It’s the next morning, Ella woke up, she have her bath, brushed her teeth and she dressed up in one of her Barbie pink dress, Rosa came in and saw her dressed like a princess.“ Ella! What are you wearing?”Rosa ask.“ Don’t you like the dress? I am off to work” she said and Rosa laugh.“ Why are you laughing?” She asked and Rosa was still laughing.“ Don’t tell me you are dressing this way to work because it’s not going to work for boss” Rosa said.“ I can’t dressed up in what you gave me yesterday” she said.“ Why can’t you Ella?” Rosa asked.“ Because I will feel uncomfortable” she replied and the driver knocked and Ella had ask him to come in.“ Good morning Miss Ella, boss had asked me to drive you to the office” the driver said.“ Where is Nathan?” She asked.“ He already left fir office” the driver replied.“ What about Jerry?”she asked.“ He left already! Tell me are you set to go to work now because, Boss had said you shouldn’t be late for work in your first day” the driver said and Ella nods her head that she was set and she went with him and Rosa bust into laugh again after Ella left.“ This girl is so strange” Rosa said.Thirty minutes later, the driver dropped Ella in the company, she get down from the car and the driver took her in, she looked weird in her Barbie dress and everyone in the company were staring at her, Ella was uncomfortable when the staff in the company staring at her and they all busy into laugh, Ella stood and can’t continue going, Nathan and Jerry walked out of the office and they saw her and Jerry bust into laughing and the staff continues.“ What the hell is this? Why would you dress this way to the office” Nathan said.“ You look so odd, I hope you know” Jerry said.“ I thought I told you to take her go shopping” Nathan said and Ella was hurt by everyone laughing at her and she was angry but she was able to control her anger so, she won’t practice her magic.“ I did Nathan but this girl is so stubborn, she wouldn’t listen to me but she said, she will be confortable on her Barbie dressed” Jerry said and everyone were still laughing and Nathan yelled at them to stop laughing at her and continue go back to work, Ella ran out of the company she went to the balcony and she sat down on the floor crying, Nathan and Jerry went after her, Nathan saw her on the floor crying.“ I did not mean to make you cry Ella” he said and Ruby that happened to be sherry’s girlfriend came to the balcony and she saw Ella and there are both friends in their own world and he called her name.“ Ella!” Ruby said and Ella raised her head up and she saw her it was Ruby and she stood up from the floor and they both hug, Nathan and Jerry were surprised that they both know each other.“ You know each other?” Jerry ask and they both nod.“ Yes, she is my childhood friend” Ruby replied.“ How come, she is weird and you are not” Jerry said.“ Jerry! That is enough, she is my friend and I need you show her some respect” Ruby said.“They all laughing at me because of my dress” Ella said.“ Can you leave us?” Ruby asked for privacy.“ Sure! But you should speak to her too so she can change to something else because she can’t work with me this way, you can take her go shopping and choose her nice dresses” Nathan said.“ Sure sir” Nathan said and he left with Jerry.Ella and Ruby hug each other again and they both overwhelmed after seeing each other again after a year.“ What are you doing here Ella?” Ruby asked.“ I was banished” Ella replied.“ Why? What happened?” Ruby asked.“ Something happed. The old man I was betrothed to died but it was not my fault, I did not do it but everyone believe I killed him because my magic is powerful and I am one of the powerful witch and they have been finding a way to kick me out of the kingdom, I don’t it here I feel like going back but I can’t right now but my dad is trying to convince the council so I can go back” she said.“ Tell me! What happened? Why did you left without telling me anything?” Ella asked.“ I am as powerful witch as everyone in the witch world, the bully was much because my parents died because they betrayed the kingdom, I couldn’t stay and bear it any more after the death of my parent so I left our world and came to the human world and I like it here, I wish I was like them in the human world, they are nice, I promise you will like the human world and forget the witch world if you adapt to their culture” Ruby said.“ No, I can’t adapt to them, I can’t dress like they do, I am a princess” she said.“ I know that you are princes but this not the witch world and if you continue to dress this way, then people will laugh at you and also said to you that you are weird. Trust me you will be fine, it’s just for the main time and not forever” Ruby said and Ella accepted and Ruby took her for shopping.Jerry entered Nathan’s office and he was surprised that he was not hard on Ella.“ You look so cold with Ella. Why?” He asked.“ I don’t know why but it seems like,there is something special about her, I feel like, she is different from others” Nathan said.“ Do you like her?” Jerry asked.“ You know, I can’t love her, she is to low to my level and don’t forget that she will be my secretary soon and k can’t never have interest on women because they are evil no matter what you do for them, they will still cheat on you”he said and Jerry state at him and smiled.Chapter 5 The driver drop Ella and Ruby in the grils store, Ruby chose sexy dress for her and she had asked to to try a yellow bodycorn dress and she was looking so sexy and pretty in it.“ Wow! You look so good on this dress” Ruby said but Ella was looking shy and uncomfortable ok the dress, Ruby noticed.“ Losing yourself, you are looking so beautiful, we should leave now” Ruby said and they both left but Ella was still looking shy on the dress.An hour later, the driver dropped them back to the company and they both went down from the car, Ruby took her back inside the company and the staff stare at her, she took her to Nathan’s office, Jerry saw her and he was surprised to see that she was beautiful girl, Nathan raised his head and he saw her, she was beautiful, he admired her and can’t take his eyes off her, Ella was shy and she shook her head down her feed.“ Wow, you so beautiful” Nathan said and Ruby smiles.“ You did a nice job Ruby” Jerry said and Ruby smiled.“ Yes, she d
Ella If Wolfi Anonymous were a real organization, I’d be standing at the front of the room staring out over in the mirro waiting for her Wolfi to appear in the mirror , “Hi, Ella.”Although maybe Wolfi is too strong a word. I like to consider myself more of an observer. A witch,, really, of life. Or more specifically, of other people’s lives. Just because they have no idea I’m watching them is beside the point. I lean back in my witch wold wold as a princess while my fingers pluck at the torn leather of the arm rest. I should probably upgrade to something less tattered, but this one has the perfect imprint of my ass and it’s comfortable. It’s a pain breaking in a new one.My gaze drifts to the giant computer monitor on my desk. One of many that fill my small inner sanctum I keep cut off from the outside world. On the screen are four video feeds separated into quadrants. Each square displays different angles of two different locations. And four different people I might have developed
My jaw clenches so hard, it’s a wonder my teeth don’t break. A better man would care that his much younger step-sister had just been used to pay a debt, but that’s not what pisses me off. It’s the fact that Ruby lost more of my money to the Hampson. Whatever pittance my worthless step-Da has left is also my money. Just as soon as I take care of him. He has no idea how many of his men have turned their backs on him. Lost respect for him. Their loyalties have switched to someone who has what it takes to gain control of Dublin. Who doesn’t give a fuck about truces. That someone is me.I’ve bided my time. Made more and more money, garnered high-powered business associates, and earned the respect—or perhaps, fear—of those who will soon belong to the most powerful organization in the city. The Hampson have ruled for too long. It’s time fresh blood reigns. I don’t intend on that being Ruby, Jack Hampson, or any of his sons either.“Do you think he’ll marry her?”“Ruby?” I huff out a breath.
“Is my guest settled?”“Yes, sir. She was just starting to come around.”“I take it she didn’t come quietly?” Which should be obvious considering the condition he brought her in, but I want to know what to expect when she wakes. Fear or rage? I’d prefer the latter rather than dealing with tears.Cray coughs and Diana glances away before meeting my eyes again. “I believe her exact words were ‘you can tell Mr. Hampson to go fuck himself’.”The silence hangs for a beat and then I throw my head back and laugh. My two men share a glance. I’m not one for laughing. They probably didn’t think I even knew how. It does sound a bit rusty. But at least my question has been answered. I should expect one pissed off woman when she finally awakens. And based on the banging and yelling that reaches me, that would be now.“That will be all.” I dismiss the two men who leave the room with a brief nod and walk out the front door.Taking my time, I wander out of the kitchen and through the rest of the hous
To my surprise, he doesn’t have a rebuttal. Instead, his expression clears and he dishes out his own helping. The rest of the meal is eaten in silence. Which is fine by me. I’m not sure I could speak civilly anyway. For the moment, I’ll play nice—or as nice as I can make myself play—and when he gets bored, I’ll go home.Despite my head start and my hunger, Nathan is finished before I am. He sets his silverware on his plate and pushes it away from him. He rests his clasped hands on the edge of the table. “Did the clothes in the closet fit?”I’d inspected the entirety of the bedroom and bathroom I’d been given after he had left earlier. A ridiculous amount of women’s clothes—none to my taste—were hung in the closet. If they were there for me, then my captor doesn’t know shit about me. I didn’t touch a single article.“Don’t know. Didn’t try them on,” I mumble through a mouth full of food.Nathan’s jaw clenches and he inhales deeply through his nose like he’s trying to breathe in patienc
“Oh, yes.” I wave my hand around in a flippant gesture. “I’ve managed to take two naps and walked at least three miles back and forth across the floor of this well-appointed prison cell, thank you, very much.”His lips flatten. “Perhaps, instead of a prison cell, you might think of this as your…home away from home. A vacation, if you will.”I laugh without humor. “If this were a vacation, I’d be sitting on the beach in the Maldives, under a large umbrella, drinking a stiff cocktail brought to me by a stunningly gorgeous Italian named Raffaele.”Nathan cocks his head. “I don’t really picture you as a beach go-er. I see you more on a yacht, cruising around the Mediterranean, lying on the deck completely naked, soaking up the sun, while I bring you a large glass of red wine and rub lotion on your back. And front.”The picture he paints appears unwillingly in my head. I can almost feel the sun heating my skin—I’ll ignore the fact that I burn like a lobster—and a dark shadow forming over m
She shifts in her chair. “That sounds like a neat trick to have.”“It does, doesn’t it? So, why don’t you tell me what you’re really hiding.”Imogen sits quietly for minutes. I can almost see her mind spinning. The stories she’s making up. I patiently wait for what she’s going to say next. “Fine. I’m a hacker.”I blink. Of all the things she could have confessed, that certainly wasn’t in the top five. Probably not even the top ten. I also believe her. It makes sense, really. “A hacker.”“What? You think I’m lying?”“Actually, no, I don’t. I’m just a little surprised. Something that doesn’t happen often. Are you any good?”Ella straightens and tips her chin up a bit. “One of the best, as a matter of fact.”A smile splits my face. “Now that doesn’t surprise me.”Just then, her stomach growls. Of course, our lunch has long grown cold. I pick the box up I’d set in front of her and place it back in the bag. “It would appear you’ll have to sample McCarthy’s fish and chips another time. They
I glance up again at the huskiness in his tone. His jaw is clenched and his body has gone completely rigid. For a second, I’m worried I’ve made him angry again. “Is this okay?”“Is what okay?” Another vibration stutters through my chest.“Me touching you.”Nathan huffs out a ragged laugh. “Ella, leannán, you haven’t touched nearly enough of me yet.”Ignoring the ‘lover’ endearment, but encouraged by his words, I complete my pass around him until we’re face-to-face again. I palm the back of his neck and rise up on tiptoes to press my mouth to his. My breasts push into his chest, making my nipples hard. Beneath my fingers, his hair is soft. Beneath my lips, his are dry. I flick my tongue out to wet them. Making me work for my pleasure, he doesn’t open for me. Not to be deterred, I continue the kiss, putting my all into it, until, finally, Nathan’s lips part, and he lets me in.We kiss long and hard until I draw away. Without breaking eye contact, I unbutton his pants, drag the zipper do
