View MoreAs he dished a portion of the food into her plate, the hot steam wafted a sweet aroma into her nostrils. A mixture of spices and his cologne.Isa's stomach tightened, feeling a sexual arousal at his demigod image. She stared intensely at him , from head to his torso which stopped at the length of the table top. A creature like him was made with perfection. Everything about him was perfect. His curly, black hair sparkling under the star lights, his dark blue eyes that he uses to pin her down at a spot for minutes. She skipped his nose and focused her gaze on his full lips between his vibrating chiseled jawline as he chewed up some meat.“Eat up.” He said with a commanding tone. She snapped out of her visualizations.Isa was shocked when she looked at him and saw a plate of food before him. She couldn't believe that he could eat this much. It was his usual fried meats but he added some veggies to it this time around.She watched him eating with concentration and threw away her gaze eac
“How did you know it was my first wish?” Isa said in whimpers. Her face glimmered with curiosity.“From your jotter.” Raymond mumbled, putting on an apologetic look. He felt sorry for invading her privacy.Her gaze followed him to the stunning view of a dining table. She gasped at the sight of the red canopy decorated with endearing star lights and furrowed her eyebrows through the beaded curtains hung on the entrance of the canopy.She forced her gaze through it and saw well selected wine bottles, cocktails and several mouth watery food.He returned back to her, holding the jotter in his hand. She wanted to ask him how he got the jotter. It dawned on her how far her mind has traveled at the alluring sight of the dining table. Her mind has already left her body.How come she didn't notice when he walked in and out of the canopy? Raymond glanced at his wrist watch.“It is almost time.” He mumbled, taking the lead. She followed him, narrowing her eyes like a small child. She felt like
Isa picked up her cell phone and dialed the Doctor's number. Her hands went numb as the phone began to ring at the other end. She became a bit infuriated as per him not answering the call.Isa's face twitched with gloom. Why was the Doctor not answering her calls? Was he avoiding her call because of her predicament or what? She called his line again but it only rang and ended. She heaved a sigh and dropped on the bed, staring intensely at the ceiling. Her instincts told her that he might be handling some patients and couldn't answer her call.She was about to ask him if he could give her any other assignment. The one he gave her seemed really tough for her. She didn't have anyone that could help her accomplish them. Not even her husband who was always busy with work and never had her time.At a point, she even wondered what making wishes got to do with her therapy. She needed to figure out a way instead of burying her head in deep thoughts. She rose, walked to her window and peeped
“What? Which Contract?” Evelyn asked, hoping she heard wrongly.She didn't hear wrongly. Earlier that morning, Douglas's cell phone vibrated on his desk. He thought it was one of the numerous requests from small companies to partner with him.Many companies requested partnership with him but he declined all of them because they weren't big companies. His interests lay only in top companies that could help skyrocket his company to the top list as well.He was fond of ignoring those messages but something unusual strucked his heart to open the inbox. With his head softly placed on the headrest, he searched the desk with his long hand, bumping into several files before his fingertips touched it.He suddenly straightened up himself seeing the message's subheading bearing the Commissioner for the department of housing preservation and development. He clicked on the message to open and was petrified for some minutes at what he saw. The commissioner suspended the Hudson yards contract!“But
“You can't possibly be my son's wife.” The elderly woman yelled at the top of her voice. Isa just stood, dumbstruck. She had no idea that the grumpy old lady standing before her was Douglas's Mom. Nobody ever talked about her so she didn't know what she would look like.Isa gazed at the woman's face. A thick brown, rounded face with one side of her cheek steeped by wrinkles. Seeing her, made the picture of Mrs Rhoda Bennett appear in her head.There seems to be not much difference between them. The woman in front of her could even be worse.The guards and maids trotted into the kitchen on hearing her loud voice. She turned around and faced them.“When did Douglas get married to this thing? This was not the woman he talked to me about.” She asked the guard with a fierce voice, it flowed out like a storm battering across their faces.The guard pinched his beards and threw a pitiful gaze over her shoulders, at Isa. He knew Isa's situation and needed to explain things to Douglas's Mother
What seemed like a deafening silence drifted in. Isa stares into his tender face and all she could see was a strong desire, lust and want for what she couldn't fathom.His words resonated a strong urge in her to ask him more questions. To ask him who he was currently into. She wanted to laugh at his words, hearing that he was currently into someone.She knew that was a bittersweet lie because he had several classes of girls lined up for him and was dying to be his girl. Girls that are ready to do anything to make him see them.She smiled again at the thought that a billionaire son like Raymond would settle down for only one woman when several pretty women were dying for him.It was hard to believe his words but she couldn't ignore the powerful aura of genuine authoritation she was getting from him.Her mouth was watering to ask him.“Can there be an additional question?” She puffed, nerve-wrecked in nervousness.Raymond nodded with his storming dark eyes, staring intensely at her unus
Isa stares with open mouth as they arrived at the L-shaped kitchen. It was so enormous that she felt that someone could get lost inside of it. Raymond lifted her and placed her on the kitchen unit. She really wanted to help out but got declined by him.She watched him opening one of the under counters and wished she could see the contents of each pantry and cabinets.She wondered what he was making to be perceiving such a sweet fragrance of mixed spices. She looked at him and admired him. Every movement he took made her throat inch for his food. She even wondered who taught him how to prepare food.“Who taught you how to cook?” Isa asked, breaking the deafening silence. He smiled and tilted his head as if thinking of what to say.“The chief cook did. She was like a mother after my Mom.” Isa was surprised to hear him say he had a Mom.“Is your Mom in this house?” She asked, astounded but he scoffed.“I am just playing my card of safety, you know. I know you won't be doing this if your
“I am sorry if my presence wasn't what you expected to see. My boss wants to see you.” “Sorry for yourself. And who is your god-damned boss?” Isa was about to yell back at him but she held back herself.She was tired and weak. All she needed at that moment was rest. Not going to see the face of one annoying billionaire son. But she urged herself to follow the guard.“It will only take an hour.”“An hour is too much.” She mumbled fiercely back to herself.“Maybe some minutes and I will be done with him. And never go to his house ever again.” She cursed under a deep breath and got led by the guard.Isa walked into Raymond's Mansion with faint steps. She wanted to appear strong in Raymond's eyes but her appearance would likely betray her. She was battered emotionally, not aware of her own footsteps. Not also aware that the guard wasn't following behind her anymore.When she finally arrived in front of a giant, polished door, she turned around and didn't see the guard. It was then that s
Look who Isa met at the door. Her eyes swam in gladness and ran it over Crystal's thin body. Crystal pulled back a little and stormed her gaze all over Isa's body.“Wow.” She exclaimed in a mutter. She has never seen Isa look this hot in a blue lace gown that stopped at her thighs, bearing a bold opening that revealed her back.Isa led her inside the house with a smile and showed her a seat. Crystal became embedded with thoughts. The Isa she knew was styleless. She even had images of Isa wearing shirts in pant trousers replaying in her head or was it just her illusion? Even when she initiates the best shopping mugs to her, Isa would decline over a table heaped with files and documents.“What are you staring at?” Isa asked, noticing the intense gaze from Crystal.“Nothing…just that you changed.” Crystal shrugged with a wave. Isa rose and walked to the fridge. Crystal's gaze followed her. She could be mistaken for a model with her nimble steps, aligning with the unusual twinge between h
