Didn’t sleep.

Soon,Daphne fell asleep,basking in the warmth of his arms.Griffin shifted his head a bit so he could stare at the body on top of him.She was so lovely.Oh how he wish it wasn’t so complicated to be with her.Daphne woke up to something poking at her.Her eyes widened when she realized what it was.His manhood was erect and had made a huge tent in his trousers.Since she was lying against him,she couldn’t help but feel it pressed against her.She bit her lip,nervously,not knowing whether to move on not.In the confines of the car,Griffin knew she was feeling him and he just smiled watching her turn into a blushing mess.In a hoarse voice,Daphne asked.“What time is it?”Griffin’s warm breath caressed her skin as he whispered in her ear.“It’s past 2:am.I could take you home now if you want.”Daphne remained,motionless.As much as feeling his erection made her nervous,it also aroused her,greatly and she wanted to keep feeling it.Suddenly,a chuckle escape Griffin’s lips.He gently cupped h

No match for Daphne.

Griffin had collected the document from Gary.He grimaced as he thought about what Gary had said to him when he collected the document.“Griffin.I thought you were too busy to handle this case.Why the sudden change of heart?Is it because of Miss Howard?She’s quite a remarkable woman,Asher talks about her all the time.”Griffin had brushed off what he said by saying that he still needed to reconsider the case and that he was just taking the document to simply go through it.Presently,Griffin got the document from the passenger’s seat and causally flipped through the pages while on the phone with Daphne.“I’ll be going on a business trip for a week.When I get back,I want us to meet up.There’s something we need to talk about.”Something they needed to talk about?What could it be?Daphne was curious as hell.“Alright.”She replied,calmly.After ending the call,Griffin immersed himself in the document,investing considerable time in its perusal.He could no longer hold back the urge to help

Each and every word.

“Do you know how much Jacob complained about the fact that you were too prudish to sleep with him?Too bad now that you will never know what it feels to be in bed with him.”Daphne stared at Nadia,squarely.Did Nadia seriously believe that not ever having sex with Jacob will make her sad?If anything,it made her grateful and relieved.It was her only consolation that she never got in bed with that shameless pig.“I wish you and Jacob everlasting happiness.”Daphne said,sarcastically.She forcefully pushed Nadia aside and walked away.Nadia’s face contorted in anger.However, she felt a bit satisfied.Afterall,Daphne’s family was in turmoil and she had lost her career.She was nothing now.An absolute nobody.In a happy mood,Nadia sat down and sent a text to Jacob.“I just got a new dress.It’s very sexy and you’re going to like it.Can you come by my house tonight.”She waited and waited for a reply but his reply came almost three hours later.“I’m very busy tonight.And how many times do I h

Under different circumstances

When the call ended,Daphne placed the phone on the table and stared at her friend with a look of resignation and disappointment.“I’ve…I’ve been fired from the restaurant.”Layla’s fury surged like a huge wave,fueled by the unfairness of it all.“This is definitely Jacob’s doing!What the hell is his problem?Why can’t he just leave you alone?How can someone be so despicable?!Take me to him right now!He left you for someone else.You let him leave without creating any trouble for him yet he’s still making your life a living hell.Who does he think he is?!He needs to pay for this!”Also knowing this was Jacob’s doing as well,Daphne tried her best to get Layla to calm down.She pleaded with her friend not to confront Jacob.It was of no use.They already knew what he wanted.He was doing all these to get her to succumb to be his mistress.Overwhelmed with anger and pain for her friend,Layla’s angry voice anchored throughout the restaurant.“He is freaking engaged!Why can’t he just stay fait

Mr King

Daphne was restless for the rest of the night and when she finally got up in the morning.She washed her face and brushed her teeth.She stared at herself in the mirror trying to put on a positive attitude for the day so that Nora would not suspect anything.As she swung the door open to go to the kitchen,she found Nora standing there with a pale face,her lips trembling as she said.“Daphne, your…your father attempted suicide.”Daphne’s blood ran cold in her vein,her heart sunk to the floor.“My…my…”She stuttered unable to speak.“I just got a call from the police.He had attempted to take his own life but they managed to save him.I was told that he’s in a very critical condition.”And then Nora burst into tears.”He’s probably gotten so frustrated from being locked up for something he didn’t do.This is so unfair.This is so so unfair.”She cried.Daphne’s mind was in turmoil as she stood still in front of the crying woman and she listened to the pained cries echoing through the room.She co

I want you in my villa.

Nora was holding a fruit knife tightly in her hand and yelling at Jacob.She had stabbed him.With a trembling voice,Daphne walked closer to her and called out.“Nora,please calm down.”“Calm down?Why should I when he keeps making our lives a living hell!I will fucking kill this man right now and then he will not be able to hurt you and my husband anymore!Daphne,oh Daphne,I warned you,I told you countlessly that he wasn’t suitable for you.”Daphne burst into tears,she moved forward and hugged Nora gently.“I’m sorry,Nora.I’m so sorry.Please calm down for my sake.”She cried.Jacob covered his wound,blood staining his hand.The secretary attempted to offer basic aid but he pushed her away and confronted Daphne with gritted teeth.“Daphne,I’m bleeding profusely and you can’t even come to my aid.Don’t I matter to you anymore?”Daphne disengaged from Nora and turned to face him.She glared at him,with so much hatred in her heart.Nora was a kind woman.She could not even hurt a fly yet she

Filled with longing.

Not wanting Nora to worry anymore,Daphne made up a story. She promised to visit Gary and also with Layla, exploring any possible avenues of help. Nora, comforted by her repeated assurances, eased her grip slightly and tried to remain positive that they could get out of this predicament without Daphne become Jacob’s mistress.*************In a private hospital in Chicago,Jacob was sent to a ward after receiving treatment.He changed into a loose hospital gown, with layers of gauze wrapped around his waist.Even so, he continued discussing business with his secretary.And then,Lucia arrived.Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at him in disbelief. "Jacob, who did this to you?"If Lucia finds out it was Nora who did it,then he will have to explain why she did and get himself in trouble so he immediately made up a story. Fortunately, Lucia did not show signs of suspicion and felt sorry for him.Staring at her eyes that were laced with genuine concern, Jacob couldn’t help but think of D

Searching for you all night.

An unsettling feeling gripped Nora.However, Daphne offered a faint smile and assured her that the person Layla had sought help from was highly capable.Daphne added that Jacob might even hold him in high regard, which persuaded Nora not to believe her,completely.With a gentle closing of the door, Daphne leaned against it, her gaze vacant and lost in thought for an extended period.By this time,it was getting very late.After a prolonged contemplation with the sky above, Daphne eventually walked out of the house and boarded the taxi.Upon arriving at Jacob’s grand villa, itwas already nine o'clock in the evening.Jacob, dressed in a formal suit, was seated on the sofa, indulging in a drink. The soft glow from a crystal lamp illuminated his striking features.In the past, Daphne might have been captivated by his charm. However, her present sentiment was one of repulsion.In a husky voice, Jacob inquired, "Where have you been? I've been calling you all day.”Daphne remained silent as

In his embrace.

Daphne felt so exhausted yet she couldn’t seem to fall asleep that night.Tossing and turning on the bed,she just wanted to get some sleep.Just as she was on the brink of slumber,she felt a pair of strong arms embrace her on the bed and then a deep voice called out her name.“Daphne…”Startled,her eyes opened widely.The moonlight cast a faint glow upon the bed in the dark room.Sitting up,Daphne realized she had been dreaming about Griffin holding her.Heck, it had felt so real.The bedroom door creaked open and Griffin quietly walked in.Seeing Daphne sitting up on the bed,he slowly walked up to her and sat beside her.“Why are you still awake?”He asked,running his hand through her hair.Daphne sighed,heavily.”I can’t seem to fall asleep.”And then he gently pull her close to him and made her lie her head on his shoulder.He understood perfectly well on why she was troubled.“I’ve taken care of everything and I’ll see to it that all your troubles will be settled in the morning.If a
