Angie's tone carried a conviction that made Mercedes worried. She was cutting vegetables with her mind afar when a sharp pain cruised through her forefinger. "Ouch," she cried, blood oozing from the finger she cut through, as she ran it under warm running water. "Sorry, sorry, where do you keep your first aid," Angie asked, panic-stricken. "In my bedroom, Opposite Griff's," she said with painful pants, while the warm water washed the blood. Angie hurriedly brought the first aid box and began treating her wound. "Sorry it will hurt a little," she warned Mercedes. "What difference does it make?" Mercedes asked sadly. After all, she was already in pain. Angie worked like a feather, so she could help lessen the pain. "There, all wrapped. I will take care of the veggies. You can grill the chicken if you are up to it," She picked up the first aid box. "Sure, I will," Mercedes frantically said. Angie had already done the greater p

Gratitude and admiration weighed Mercedes so much, all she wanted to do was please him. Be it for pleasure or not, he has treated her better than she imagined. Sometimes she wondered what kind of person he was. It would have been nice if he had just said he did everything because he cared for her but rather, he said pleasure. If that was what he wanted in return, she was determined to make it worthwhile for him. For just over a week since she knew him, he has been the sun brightening her day. Griffin might not be there for her anymore like he used to but Nathan was, and for a week, she was determined to bestow him the needed satisfaction. Peeking out of the window of the SUV, the sea enveloped them. A flood of adrenaline surged through her igniting exciting sparks over her countenance. Her mind was dazed and yet, she couldn't ask where they were headed till Nathan pulled over in front of a beach house. How did Nathan know that she loved the beach? She hasn't

Mercedes was drained, Nathan had been pounding her continuously for the last one hour. She had lost count of the number of orgasms he gave her, and she was so sure her body was going to be covered in hickeys but that wasn't her immediate concern. She feared she wouldn't be able to walk again. Her legs had wobbled till they felt numb. Her walls felt sore but Nathan was still thrusting in and out of her like a beast. She was trapped under him and couldn't even move. Drops of sweat fell on her breast, the groaning sound of Nathan, blended with her soft moans. He had kissed her till her lips felt swollen and sore. She was sure she was going to blackout when he collapsed on top of her, trembling violently from the release he halted anytime it showed a sign. She had released countless times while he held himself, only giving in now to his orgasm.  Tears trimmed down the corners of her eyes. If this happened to her the next time, she wasn't sure she could survi

Griffin has been upset ever since Mercedes left. He hasn't been able to contain his anger, even when he was with Penelope. He couldn't imagine Mercedes gracing a man's bed for a whole week. The mere thought put his brain to third gear.He hit the wall several times, his knuckles hurt. He was happy Penelope had left to attend to some family matters so he wouldn't be disturbed. He was worried about Mercedes for the fact that he couldn't reach her. Angie was least anxious and had made breakfast, thereby taking it to Griffin's room, which was now cleaned and looked inviting."I'm not hungry Angie," Griffin said as soon as the door pushed open, as he moved from the wall, laying on his bed facing the wall that had a picture of him and Mercedes surfing. Posted on his walls were cut out pictures of his role models, pictures of his family, Angie and Penelope but the most dominant were that of him and Mercedes together. The appearance of the room looked like that of

Waves of worry flung Mercedes and Nathan could see the sudden change in her demeanour. She kept wondering if Penelope had broken up with Griffin. If that happened, Griffin would be heartbroken because he loved Penelope so much.Penelope was nervous but unlike Mercedes, she was a perfect actress. Seeing Mr Hayes, Nathan instantly felt he was the reason why Mercedes was acting strange. Fortunately, President Yates had come in person, which meant there was no need to have Mr Hayes around. Nathan was about to speak when the elderly man spoke."President Nathan Legend, please forgive me for taking the forte. Before you speak, I will like to apologize on behalf of my nephew, Mr Hayes. I received your message concerning his misconduct and do not mean to disrespect your authority." He paused. Nathan's expression was deadpanned, his powerful aura making everyone cautious.  Mr Hayes was uneasy, as his position in the company was dependent on Nathan
