"I think you're busy Mr Bernard! We should talk some other time, maybe in the morning?" She suggested as she hesitated to step forward. She couldn't see his face and it looked like he was not in a good mood. Maybe she was afraid of drunk men. "Please come forward Miss Veronica!" He said in a monotone, turning his face to the side but not enough for her to see him. She hesitantly stepped forward to him and stood two feet away. She didn't know if he was alright or in a bad mood. She didn't know if she gave him any reason to be mad at. She was counting her overall encounters with him during the day when he suddenly turned around. "I thought we should discuss my rent, that's why I came here. I just got my salary" she mumbled in a slow voice, trying not to make him mad which to her astonishment he already was with that straight face. "Where's your phone?" He asked looking up in her eyes, and she got nervous. "It's in my bag" she replied. "Then take it out!" He commanded. She got sc

From that onwards she never protested again as Bernard dropped her to university everyday and when she would get off, his driver would come to pick her up and drop at the hotel. Life became easy for her momentarily. She did not realize how much she was getting used to all the luxuries he had provided her. Unknowingly everything was becoming a part of her life. On weekends they would spend some time talking over lunch, sometimes they would sit together in the library as he would work on his laptop and she would complete her assignments. On late, cold nights after work, they would sit together for a cup of coffee in the lawn and gaze at the shining stars. They both started to like each other's company, as she realised that he was really a decent man and nothing grumpy as she used to think. All he ever wanted was her presence beside him, and there were no more reasons to make their unnamed relationship complicated any further. She also realised that whatever he was doing for her was

Waves crashing against the rocks and the moon seeping through the clouds. The sea roared against the calm sky and it was all a melody to hear for the ones who could understand. It was a beautiful hut alongside the beach, furnished with glass as main material. Almost dreamy, it looked like straight out of a fairytale to her. He opened the car door for her himself. She stepped down, taking his hand as their eyes touched each other momentarily and soon parted. She was in awe of the beauty in her sight. He took her hand in his, as he led her toward the main door. He could see the awestruck expressions on her face and satisfaction bloomed in his heart. That's what he wanted, to see her happy and surprised. "Did you rent it?" She asked as they stepped inside and he closed the door on their back. "I own it, Veronica!" He felt a little disappointed by her words. Why would he bring her to a rental house? But of course her imagination was limited in that regard, she didn't actually know ho

The very next morning she woke up all alone in that comfy bed, with the sight of calming sea through the large window. She rubbed her eyes as she looked over, but of course she was all alone in that large room. She got up and realised that she had been wearing a silk night suit which he gave her last night. Taking a bath and brushing her teeth, she took off the night suit and wore her usual last night's dress. She descended the stairs and found him busy in the kitchen, as he whipped the coffee and placed the cups in the tray. "Good morning!" She greeted him with a smile. "Good morning pretty lady! Did you sleep well?" He raised his head to see her and this was what he actually wanted to experience. The sight of her waking up with him all smiling for him. "I did" she replied as she leaned over the counter and watched the delicious breakfast on the platter. "You made all this?" She asked him in bewilderment. "Yess and it's 07:00 am now! So we should better eat it and go back if y

After the incredible last night, she couldn't help but shake off the feeling of last night. She was so embarrassed to even face Bernard. When she woke up first in his bed, she turned around to see his face. He looked so handsome and calm while sleeping. The devilish face was no more fuming. She wanted to stroke his jaw, lock her fingers in his soft hair but contained herself. He was shirtless with his perfect chest on display. She wanted to stay in his arms and feel his skin, the most irresistible urge she ever felt. But instead she slipped from his bed quietly, only embarrassed to leave his room in panties and a shirt. She found her discarded jeans in the kitchen and thanked God a million times that Lara hadn't seen it yet. After going to her room, she locked it and took deep breaths for a good whole minute before going to shower and clear up her head. She was so ashamed to even see him at the dinner table, that she told Lara that she don't want to eat. But Bernard was another ma

Her night was ruined and there was no deny in that. She couldn't keep up with the further orders any more. She just wanted to nestle back into her room and cry out her heart until she would feel light. The emotions overwhelmed her and she just hoped that she wouldn't have to face Bernard in such state or he would ask her million questions and wouldn't let go of it until that boy dies. Without telling anyone, she simply disappeared and went back to the penthouse. Lara welcomed her inside and she didn't even try to force a smile. Her lashes were wet and eyes were heavy, she knew smiling fake would be of no use. But luckily she didn't ask her anything. "Is Mr Bernard home yet?" She asked Lara in case. "Yes, he is in his study room" she pointed in the direction and Veronica got it. She couldn't go to her room anymore or he would come to her immediately. She would face him and try to hide her emotions until he would be satisfied that there is nothing wrong. She dropped her bag on the c

The very next day was planned by Bernard as he wanted Veronica to meet that special woman he had been telling her about. She changed into a beautiful, light summer dress which was dark maroon in colour, reaching below her knees. Pairing them with sneakers and studs as jewellery, she looked minimal and yet elegant. She was waiting for him, taking rounds in the balcony as she walked impatiently. He told her that it was 10 minutes of work and he'll be back very soon but now almost an hour had passed and he was still not here. She fished out her phone out of her small shoulder bag and started dialling his number. He picked up on the second call. "Hello?" She said first. "Veronica?" He answered on the other side. "I'm waiting for an hour now, tell me if you're coming or not" she complained in a sarcastic manner and he sighed on the other side as he smiled. "I'm in the parking lot, can you come down?" He asked her and she was relieved to know that finally he was here. "Yeah, coming"

She was leaning on to the washbasin counter, watching herself in the mirror. She knew why Bernard bought her here, to get the approval of his Aunt Clarissa so they could get married. But she was not ready yet!She didn't know why she felt so uneasy about marriage, facing failure all her life, she was scared to give birth to a child. She had this belief that she will never be a good mother and that's why bearing a child was a nightmare for her. She was jumbled up in her thoughts when she was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door. Bernard stepped in, with his hawk-like eyes on her. "You took a long time" he said with a low voice as he stepped towards her, while closing the door firmly on his back. "I was just coming" She replied but he covered the distance between them in two strides, as his hand travelled up to her face and fisted her hair. Her hands clenched the edge of the counter behind her as she was pressed against it. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable down there,
