Bugged by my Boss

AlexaBut then the door burst open right before my eyes. The police men that rushed in to grab Johan blurred. What caught my whole attention, causing me to freeze, was him…Ethan. The minute I got myself back, I began searching for myself. Where could he have placed it? Did he really bug me? He has no reason to do that. Or could it be he’s scared of what I discover? “Are you okay?” I yank his hand off me immediately, as he held my hand. “Let him go,” I quickly walk past him to the police men. I need to get an explanation; no one badges in without explaining the reason why someone is being forcefully arrested. Also, a part of me knew this was one of Ethan's pulling strings. They did halt, but he was still cuffed. “Can you at least explain what's happening?” “I did nothing,” Johan tried to defend. I pitied him a little, although he was about to do something against my will. But he never did, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that what happened was just years' worth of rele

A Duo Not Lovers

EthanI never made it clear Alexa's mother to keep my sponsoring away from Alexa, but I hope she did. Alexa already hated my family she might think I am trying to silence her. And right now that she’s frozen after I shot her with the truth, I am beyond scared. Alexa seems like an egg slowly cracking, almost about to shatter and spill in my hands. “Come in, I just prepared lunch.” Alexa'a Mother gestured but my gaze remained on Alexa who’s expression I could barely read. She rarely had a straight face, and now she does, I can't help but be worried. The meal is set out on the table and Alexa was the first to dig in. Quiet, clearly not willing to speak to anyone. “I’m sorry I never got to say a proper appreciation. I’m ashamed actually” Alexa’s mother chuckled, not the kind that showed she was happy, perhaps a bit, but her eyes hung low, unable to meet my gaze. “And your parents-” The sound of metal smacking the wooden table echoed through the small dinning walls. Alexa…“I will pay

The Beginning of the Destruction

Alexa I regret not apologizing to my mother. I do regret walking out on her like that. I still do feel betrayed. I went on for years thinking I accomplished everything all by myself. The scholarships, my side jobs, they were all interfered with by an external influence, and she knew about it. It feels like she thinks I just hate the Bouchards for no reason. Yes, Ethan might be an exception; it doesn’t change the fact that we can barely trust anyone. It is how it’s so easy for her to face the son of the parents who ruined her husband's life. She literally accepted him with open arms, acting like he was a long-gone family member that just returned. My mother has been kind. Both of my parents had their weaknesses that I don’t want to inherit. My chest tightened as I watched the city fall behind while Ethan drove us back. Mother hesitated when she tried hugging me; she eventually didn’t, and I didn’t try to do anything either. It felt like a line had been drawn between my mother and me,

The Candidate

Alexa The meeting stretched out for an hour, perhaps some minutes in addition, and I sat there only able to put one or two things together. I could barely contribute. How could I when I was still in shock? The meeting door clicked open, and my eyes widened at the figure that walked in. Well, I’m not supposed to be shocked when Ethan already mentioned backing another leader of the parliament. But he never mentioned that the said candidate was the worst enemy of Bouchard. It is well known by the whole country, even, that the Thomson family disliked the Bouchards. They have been rivals in business, and Jeffwery Thompson has always been compared to Ethan since they were little. So the history states, rivals seen in different schools, they had competitions, both representing their schools, and everyone could tell how much they loathed each other. Those are the words from people, the news highlights, and the media. It was the first time I had ever seen them in space. Heck, it was the firs

A Memory Buried

AlexaThe camera lights flashed like lightning. At that moment, I could have celebrated lightning striking down on me. I would join my father faster, ask why he chose to leave us earlier, and ask why these people hate him so much. I knew my father like the back of my hand. He was a good man. Never holding grudges. You slap him, and he would turn his other cheek for you to repeat your violence. He was soft-hearted. But the Bouchards…why…why did they do this to him? Accusing my father of trying to rape the first lady, my father could barely hurt a fly. I didn't believe them. I could never believe anyone in that house, not even Ethan, not when it comes to my family. And then bringing reporters, because I am certain they had the power to hold them away if they truly wanted to do just paying respect to my late father but no, they brought those reporters along to do what? Embarrass us more? What did we ever do to them, other than serve them? “Mrs. Côté, are you aware that your husband trie

A Loading Battle

Alexa I felt like I was walking on thin ice. The quietness was itching me, I mean the quietness after he said those words. I shouldn’t dig deep into the meaning. We couldn’t be anything more than we are now, and that settled it. “The voting count will begin soon. Come to my room once you are done/.” I practically choked on my sandwich. But he wasn’t fazed; he continued walking away like he knew what he had caused and was expecting that reaction from me. But why his room of all places? There are a lot of rooms where we could sit comfortably, at a reasonable distance, and watch the election together. I remember his room so well, yeah, it was enough for us to have a distance, but a room is a room, and with all these subtle hints, we are not the usual acting brother and sister anymore. I chugged down the whole cup of orange juice. My nervousness about being in the same room with Ethan is huge, but my anxiety about Jeffery Thomson winning this election is greater after last night's mee

A Greek God

Alexa I had downed the glass of champagne in one go, ignoring the bitter sensation that hit my throat immediately. I had other questions, like what does he mean, what are we doing next? Won’t his father discover his betrayal soon? But instead, I stood to my feet, set to leave as soon as I could, but his cold hands gripped my hand. “From now on, we need to trust each other, Alexa; it’s us now. Just us.” He was up to his feet, towering over me. “Tomorrow, we are going to send your mum out of the country, to somewhere she can lie low, until the heat falls.” No. I shook my head, finally pulling my hand away from his hold. My mother is my only family standing. I can’t have her stay far away. What if something bad happens? No, I want to be there for her, always. “We can have her lie low here.” In fact, we have been lying low. But Ethan didn’t agree as he shook his head. “I will have my men look after her and send us reports of her well-being every night, but her staying back here is d

First Kiss

Ethan Alexa didn’t need to say a word; I could tell she was stressed by my father’s words. Perhaps it hasn’t clicked to her, or she was yet to add it all up to know that me being kicked out of my position is never going to happen. Yes, I am proudly in a battle with my father. I may not be certain if the one who murdered Alexander Côté is my father or my mother, but they are a prime suspect, and with their record, murdering him was far. But aside from that, they have been nothing but a menace to society. Many would say I don’t love my parents. Perhaps they are right, because since I was little, they never felt like family. They never bothered to hide their hideous acts and crimes from me, because they knew I was their son, and what else could I do to them? I should be blinded by the love of my parents, and consider my life without them. And I am tired of doing that. Right now, the only power I have is that company; I have invested my whole self in growing that company, even my father

A Mistake

Ethan If anyone had told eighteen-year-old me that I would be devouring Alexa, I would have fucking punched the person in the guts, because I never thought I would see her as a woman. I genuinely believed I would continue to see her as a sister. But since she returned, I realized so many feelings erupted because of her. And right now in the room filled with our kissing sounds and heavy breath, and me sucking on her perfect soft lips, goodness, I can’t get enough. I slid my tongue in to feel her more, to suck and take in each and every one of her. She moaned the minute I went in, and it did something to my dick. Her fingers grabbed a fist of my loose, round neck shirt; not sure if that was a sign to give her a break, I mean I could barely reason while sucking the taste of my champagne from her, ravaging on her plump lips. I was keeping myself from biting into them. I wondered if she would like, I certainly will. I bet kissing Alexa was about to be my new addiction. An intimate act I

Gunmen

Alexa I honestly expected Jeffery Thomson to be the exact same with Ethan; I mean, they are competitors, and last I checked, he had the same demeanor with Ethan during the meeting. Either way, I am enjoying his activeness, until Ethan came to spoil it all. “I don’t see any engagement ring though.” Jeffery throws a gaze at Ethan before I can retort back at him. He rolled his eyes. “Are we not going straight to the point, or do you want to beat around the bush all day, wasting my time?” “Well, Mr. Bouchard, you won’t have come to me if you were not expecting something also. I’m sure you would have had me squeezing through your tight schedule, so yeah, I won’t beat around the bush.” Jeffery takes a seat next to me. “Apologies once again for calling you to meet me; however, I would like to discuss this profound beneficial relationship now that I am the leader of the parliament. You can state your clause, conditions, and needs.” “Is this the reason you called me here, Jeffery Thomson
