“What?” I spat a bit too loud, and looked around at the people giving me disapproving looks. Shaking my head, I glanced back at my companion who occupied a scarlet face ridden with guilt. I couldn't give a damn about what people thought at that moment. I was mad. “You two have been dating, and you haven't even told me yet?”  “Em, please, calm down and listen to me.” “Yeah, girl, cool down. What's gotten into you?” Beth commented.  “I'm your best friend for heaven's sake! You were supposed to tell me the second he asked you on a date.” I knew I was being a bitch, but I couldn't help it. Perhaps because I woke up in a puddle of my own blood this morning. “I know. I'm sorry! I wanted to but...” she trailed off.  “But what, Ana?” I asked, sending her a

I stood in front of the glass wall in the new building the Kings Corp. was working on. Most of the things here were made of glass, almost like an exotic glass house. I watched the reflection of Hunter talking with the builders on the glass. We were here for inspection. Well, he was here for inspection. He wanted everything to be pitch perfect since it was one of the top projects for the company. Thus, pointing out even the slightest of the mistakes, he sent them off to fix everything.My lips curved into a smile. He actually looked cute inspecting and directing like a tough old grandpa. All he was missing now was a cane and some gray hair or perhaps, no hair at all. An involuntary chuckle left my lips, and I quickly clamped a hand around my mouth.He slowly turned towards me and cocked his head, an eyebrow arched, “Is there something funny?” I shook my head and gulped when he started walkin

  All eyes were set on me as I sat at the conference table. Delivering everyone a smile as confident as my nervous self provided, I stood up and cleared my throat.  My beloved CEO husband decided to be generous giving the director of presentation a day off and putting me in his place to present one of the most important projects of the company to the clients. My eyes were begging to close since I didn't get even an ounce of sleep last night preparing the presentation, and my palms were sweating. How was I supposed to do it when I had never done it before and with so much attention on me? My eyes fell on Mr. Vincent Denver sitting across me giving me a reassuring smile while Hunter sat at the head of the table sending me a look that screamed, 'Mess it up, and you are dead.'  "Hello, everyone!" I took a deep breath to calm my delirious nerves. "As you know our compan

I stood at the entrance of my room flabbergasted as my eyes scanned the five suitcases that had been packed for me. I averted my gaze to the pack of weird creatures sprawled on my bed exhausted from their weird activity. Since I was busy at work, and Hunter refused to give me another day-off I asked my beloved crew consisting Karen, Anna and Beth to pack for me with Donna's help. Yes, Anna and Beth had been introduced to Karen, and she instantly formed a gang of us.Noticing me Donna immediately pointed a finger at the other three miscreants."Are you guys going as well?" I asked.Beth lifted her head a bit from her awkward lying position, "No? You're going." "You mean all these bags are mine?" I asked pointing at the suitcases, eyebrows raised. Karen sat up with a duh face, "Of course! After all, you're going to your honeymoon,

Knock knock..."Mr. King Jr.! Ember, darling! Aren't you awake yet?" Our eyes went wide. Hunter flipped us over untangling the blanket and got up pushing me off him. Letting out a sigh of relief I got up as well. I forgot I had morning breath that certainly didn't smell like fresh mint as him. Peeking from the door I saw a familiar face. "Mrs. Arthur!" "Oh, Ember, darling!" She wrapped her hands around me in a bone-crushing hug. "So nice to see you again." Letting go she looked at us both lovingly. "Awe, look at you two love birds! Wearing his clothes." I looked down at my over-sized garments. "I uh- I actual-" "Oh dear, no need to give me excuses. I can see you're blushing. Anyways, I came to tell you both there'll be a dinner party tonight. I hope to see you both there.""We will be there," Hunter said.
