Lauren“What are you saying dad?” I stare at my father in disbelief. “How can you agree to that without even consulting me first? I’m an adult dad, you don’t get to make decisions for me.” I say with tears slowly forming in my eyes.“Listen dear, this is for the sake of the company. Without his investment, we’re going to lose it. I had no choice than to agree Lauren.” He sighs “I won’t do it dad. I won’t.” I stand up from the couch clenching my fists tightly trying to retain my anger. “ I’ve done everything you wanted me to do. Everything you asked of me, I did. But not this time dad.” I look straight in his eyes silently pleading with my eyes but he looks away from me.“The deal has been finalized Lauren, there’s nothing you can do about it. You just have to accept this.” He says.“There are other successful companies who might be willing to invest in the company, he can’t be the only person.” I’m crying at this point, desperately looking for a way out of this nightmare.“Do you thi

Andre POV “Man! I still can’t believe you’re getting married.” Cole my best friend looks at me like I’ve gone crazy. It’s late, I’m back home from the Popes house and I’m in my study trying to get some work done to distract myself from the anger I’m feeling from the argument earlier but I also have to deal with my dramatic friend as well.“You’ve said that like six times in less than two minutes. Are you going to be my best man or not?” I say with irritation.“I ain’t got no choice, neither do you. I’m your only friend dude. Nobody else likes your cranky ass” he laughs and adjust himself on the seat in my office.“But you have to tell me something. How did you get yourself a wife so quickly?” He asks in a serious tone.” I mean just two nights ago, we were partying recklessly and you went home with four different girls. Don’t tell me you’ve had a girlfriend all this while and you’ve been cheating on her.”He looks at he intently. “Why are you so bothered by all of this?” I asked in

Lauren POV “Now strip” he commands, looking down at me with so much lust in his eyes.These two words are causing me to tingle all over especially between my legs. I’m breathing so hard now,one would think I just ran a marathon.How can two words turn me on just like that? I must be sex starved. Well…. 23 years of no sex is beyond starving.“Will you do it or should I?” He asks, breaking my thoughts.“Erm….. An..dre….what…” I struggle to find words so I just bite my lips shut.How do you even answer that kind of question? He groans quietly, staring at my lips. He runs his thumb over my lower lip that is tucked beneath my teeths, and frees them. He has come closer now, his hands now feeling my face, stopping on my chin and raising it slowly. “Does he want to kiss me?” I wonder. My heart is racing at that thought. I’m staring from his eyes to his lips. God! They look so soft. I wonder what they’d taste like.What I’m feeling in my crotch intensifies, so I rub my thighs tightly toget

Lauren POV*Ring Ring*I wake up to my phone ringing and by the time I pick up my phone, the call ends. I check my phone to 10 text messages and 16 missed calls from my assistant, I seat up immediately, all the drowsiness long gone as I open the messages. “What?” I say softly after going through all the messages. I call my assistant back instantly and she answers at the first ring. “What is going on Kate? What is this that I’m seeing?” I bombard her.“Ma’am, I got a call this morning from the lawyers that there’s been complaint that the land the store is built on has been purchased by someone else and they’re asking us to move by noon or they be here to demolish the building by evening.” She narrates with panic.“You’re going to regret all of this.” Is all that’s ringing in my head.
