She's awake

Chapter 51LolaAs much as I resented my mother, I couldn't give up on her yet and my bitterness against her only stood when she's healthy. But hearing that she had slumped had my world crumbling. “Which hospital?” The news had wiped off every trace of energy I had left.I staggered, resting against the wall so that I wouldn't crash onto the floor. “M&M hospital. You know how to get there right?” he asked. My heart hammered with worry as I scratched my scalp. “Of course, I do. I'll be right there,”Still reeling in shock, I took the phone off my ear, my breathing erratic. I'd always believed that I hated my mom and didn't want to have anything to do with her, but she was the only family I had. Being an only child, I never understood how it felt to have siblings. As cruel as she was, I'd be heartbroken if anything bad happened to her. Meredith approached me, placing her hand on my shoulder. “I'm sorry for what I said earlier. The words slipped so quickly and I let my emotions get

A silly mistake

Chapter 52LolaMy stomach churned with trepidation as I traipsed into the ward. Rowan trailed behind me because I told him that I wouldn't go in if he didn't accompany me. A strong scent of antiseptic and disinfectant clung to different corners of the room. It aroused a wave of nausea within me but I gulped, forcing down the bile that threatened to burst out of my throat. “Hi, mom,” I murmured, staring at the pair of delicate eyes that were trained on me. Remorse hung heavily on those orbs that formerly glared at me in disgust. I wondered what changed. Maybe she'd hit her head on a surface hard enough to reset her memory. However, I didn't care what it was. If it would make her look at me with so much longing then it should remain that way. “Lola, come here,” she requested, her voice soft and breezy, lacking the toughness I'd known it for. Rowan's pat on my back spurred me forward as I dashed into her arms. I was careful to not disrupt the intravenous fluid running into her bod

Back home

Chapter 53LolaMy eyes did a three hundred and sixty degree turn in their sockets, my head suddenly growing heavier on my neck. All the mushy feelings that came as a result of the reunion took an instant pause. “You what?” I snapped, unable to hold back myself. She pushed herself into a sitting position while I put in some distance. It didn't help so I stood up, digging my teeth into my lower lip. “He deceived me, Lola,”I raised my hand sharply to stop her from speaking any further. “I just… I need to get some air,”She nodded in agreement, sadness lurking in the edges of her eyes while I stalked out of the room. I marched through the hallway, ignoring the footsteps crunching behind me. It wasn't until I reached the foyer that I halted and expelled a scream from my lungs. “Easy, Lola. You certainly are not on a mission to resurrect the peaceful corpses in the cold room,” His attempt to make a joke only fueled my annoyance. “It's not funny,” I snapped. He got the hint, drawing

Telling him

Chapter 54LolaMom was discharged this morning with loads of drug prescriptions that I was surely going to force her to take. My whole body ached because I slept on a chair in her ward. She'd asked that I snuggle with her on the bed, but it was small and I wanted her to be comfortable on it. Rowan breezed into our room with a polythene bag, handing it over to me. “Today's your first day,”“Huh?” I gasped, palming my lips as I remembered that I had a job to resume. My eyes swept to the content of the bag and my heart swelled with joy. I dug into the bag, bringing out a striped shirt and a pair of black flannel pants. Beneath the clothes was a box which housed a pair of kitten heels. I didn't know when I flung my arms around him, ignoring my mother's questioning stare which burned holes into my back. “Thank you so much. I was so overwhelmed by mom's health that I forgot that I now had a job,” I said. He quickly disengaged from the hug, putting me at arm's length and slid his hand

A close catch

Chapter 55LolaI took out a tablet from a blister, handing it over to her. “Here, just take it. It's the last one,” She scrunched her nose in disgust but swallowed it. After taking the last gulp from the cup, she wiped off the droplet of water hanging by the crook of her lips and dropped the cup. “I need to have a word with these pharmacists. Why do they have to make the drugs so bitter? Now I feel like puking,” she complained, leaning against the headrest of the bed.“I guess it depends on the potency. The more bitter the drug is, the more efficacy it has,”“You have so much knowledge about drugs and you went on study business administration. What a waste,” She bickered, rolling her eyes. I chuckled heartily, throwing my arms around her. “It still feels so surreal talking to you like this. Till now, I feel like I'm asleep and someone is going to wake me up from this dream,”Her hand covered mine as she glanced at me. “When you speak this way, I feel very regretful because you sho

A tough place

Chapter 56RowanI'd never considered how Madeline would feel if she found out the real situation between Lola and I. It wasn't a matter of concern initially because she had been absent and nonchalant about her daughter's welfare. But the situation was currently different and I didn't know how to deal with it. I wondered how far Lola and I would have gone in the kitchen if she didn't interrupt, and I also thought of what she would do if she eventually found us in a compromised state.However, it didn't dampen my desire for her, rather, the flames had intensified and now I wanted her more. The memory of her hand expertly stroking me nearly drove me to a mind-numbing orgasm. With each passing day, I was wrung up with the need to mark her. I wanted to be one with her so badly I could think of nothing else, but she wasn't mine and that was something I'd deal with for the rest of my life. A knock on the door disrupted my thoughts with Jade strutting into my office. Instantly, I remembe

A vacation?

Chapter 57Rowan Jade's head moved both sides in a subtle swing, her eyes holding unwavering support to whatever my response would be. My response today could make or mar our reputation in the business world and since there was already evidence of us being together, lying bluntly would only make matters worse. “She's my girlfriend,” My voice reverberated fluidly and loudly so that they wouldn't pretend not to have heard. Murmurs welled up in the audience, but it quietened when I stood up and continued speaking. “That slide is proof that business and pleasure can co-exist if there are laws to keep the doers in check. We care for each other and that same concern is also transferred to our work. Please be rest assured that our romantic relationship wouldn't affect the efficacy of our products. Thank you,”I dropped the microphone, stowing away from the stage. Jade joined me shortly afterwards in the car, her expression filled with anything but happiness. “What was the meaning of th

A change of mind

Chapter 58LolaMy gaze flitted from Jade whose eyes beamed at me with innocent anticipation to Rowan who focused on serving the wine he'd brought out from the cellar. “I can't, Jade. I'm sorry,” I rustled up as the air suddenly felt tight sitting between Jade and my mom and having ‘Mr romantic Rowan’ around me. It was just too much for me to swallow. She jerked to a standing position as well, putting her hand on my shoulder. “You need this break, Lola. I won't be at work for the next three days, which means that you won't be either, so what better way do you intend to spend it other than going on a well-deserved break?”“As you well know, my mom isn't feeling so well and someone has to watch over her. I don't want her to feel lonely in my absence,” I replied, tucking my thumbs at the nook of my pockets. “I might have to intervene now,” Mom objected. My lips twitched, tilting to the side. My eyes dilated, my heart doing a staccato beat within my ribs. “What? No. This is my decisi

Never

Chapter 59LolaI hadn't taken a flight in what—years, maybe. A vacation had been out of reach after my father fell ill and being in a plane only thrusted me into a nostalgic hole. Reid entwined his fingers with mine, bringing the back of my hand to his lips. I sighed wryly at the placating gesture, throwing my head back to the head rest. “Madeline will be fine,” he said with a high level of assurance. “You don't know that,” I retorted with palpable doubt.“She will,” he reiterated. “Have you forgotten that an officer was assigned to watch over round the clock? If anything goes wrong, he'll protect your mom so why don't you take your mind off things and just focus on what is ahead of us?”I squeezed his hand. “You're right. I shouldn't be so pessimistic,”We were currently in the business class area with Jade and Rowan seated in front of us. I couldn't see what they were up to so I decided it was best not to think about it. I'd call my mom the moment I got out of this plane. I cou

The premise of passion

Chapter 60RowanHer tongue danced against mine in a fierce, needy pace. Her back flattened on the sand as I delved into her mouth, unraveling sensations lurking behind the bars of fear, anger and uncertainty. She shivered, pushing her fingers through my locks. While thrusting her hips forward, she threw her legs around my waist. My cock pressed her stomach, hardening further at the torturous contact. Being with her like this felt like I'd been given another chance at life and this time I wouldn't make the same mistake. I already knew what to do, I only needed time to execute it. She tossed me over, rolling top of me as she devoured my lips in a frenzy. My hands moved over every part of her body all at once: her ass, her arms, her breasts. I wanted it all. Bouts of pleasure trickled down my skin when my lips closed around her nipples, her moan resonating in my ears like a melodious hymn. How much I loved how she reacted to my touch. I reveled in the knowledge that I knew which bu
