That scene was one I never would forget in my life. The look on her face. The disappointment. The guilt. I saw it all in her eyes.
I called her, trying to explain, but it seemed I was making the whole thing worse.
No amount of words could explain what I did. I had no excuse. She totally ignored me. I feared she would leave me. I felt guilty that I couldn't imagine life without her. The past six months have been amazing for me. My life changed, and I saw life from a different angle. I reason to live and work hard. I didn't want to depend on my family's fortune.
I had begun working with my dad while building my own connections in the business world. I didn't want to have things that would drag her down. I know my family. They are wealth-driven.
She walked to the kitchen, totally ignoring my presence. I tried to speak, but words could not come out of my words.
She was such a lively and humble woman that you would not find in the hypocritical world we
Reaching his room, he locked it from inside and slammed to bed. He intended to call Jane, but he felt something wrong with him. From the moment he was arguing with his parents, he felt his body hot. The sensation kept on rising until he could not take it.At that moment, he heard someone knock at the door.He walked to the door thinking it was his parents, but the shameless Loli was standing half-naked at the door.“What do you want?”“Please, James, Don’t chase me away. Hear me out” Loli wore a grieved face when she spoke. Having grown up with her, I could not be hard on her.“Come in. Be fast” she entered the room but touched his hand by mistake. His body vibrated from the touch.His entire body felt the need. He felt her touch give him the cold feeling he needed. Thinking of the strange situation and the way Loli had worn her clothes and her coming to him at the right moment“What hav
I woke in the morning to find Peter had prepared breakfast and was gone. I was surprised but happy about the gesture. Peter has been the best over the two years that we worked together. He cared for me like his sister, but sometimes I find the gesture too suggestive.I didn't feel like going to work that day, but I had to. I got a big client in West City that needed our services on a big event. I read it as an engagement party in the next two weeks. I didn't want to go into too many details and would leave such things to Peter.Peter was good at that. I only needed to sit in my office and attend a part of the preparation, and that was it? Today I just felt like sleeping in.I felt like not working. I had no motivation to work hard. I could not sleep the previous night thinking about James.Peter called me around 10:00am. I had gone back inside to nap and ended up sleeping for the next three hours."Hello""Good morning, boss?" Peter gr
"Let me introduce myself. I am Mrs. Watson from city S. We have never met but am sure you know who I am." She said, scrutinizing me. I was not surprised at all. It could not have been any other woman making trouble for her accompanied by Loli Roland."What can I do for you, Mrs. Watson?" She looked surprised when I didn't barge due to her introduction"I want to make things clear. I know you and James had a thing in the past, but things are different now. He and Loli are going to get married soon. Stay away from him and don't think of getting into my family" I frowned and looked at her in confusion."Madam. I don't know what you are talking about. Your son and I are not together for a very long time, and I don't care what he does with his life. I don't know where all this is coming from. I have a lot of things to do. If you may excuse me, go and sort out your things out of my life." I said, gesturing for
I booked a flight to go home when I received a call from my trusted aid. My mum and Loli had gone to the west city. I knew they found out about my movements in and out of the city right then and there. I didn’t want any of them to know my whereabouts or about Jane. Things were going really fast.My dad was in my neck to marry Loli. I didn’t care about their threats anymore.For God’s sake, I was going to live with the woman, not them. I swore not to marry someone just because someone said so. I called the cab driver I hired to keep an eye on Jane. He was not really a driver but a secret agent and a bodyguard. He was the best when it came to security.He informed me about my mother and Loli making their way to JS Events and knew things were not right. And they wereI got there in time to hear the woman I love to say she didn’t care a
I could feel his need. I didn’t refuse his advance and kissed him back. My body just reacted on its own. When I came back to my senses, I pushed him away. I stood my back facing him, wiping my mouth.“No. It’s not right.” I trembled slightly“I am sorry. I don’t know what came over me,” Peter said, standing behind me. I could feel his presence, and boy, my body reacted to him. I didn’t see that coming.“It’s okay,” I said without turning to look at him. I didn’t know what us to have an awkward relationship.“Look, Peter. I don’t want us to ruin the great relationship we have together. I have my personal relationship issues to sort out. I don’t need too many complications added to it.” I sign, turning to face him, “I don’t want this to repeat itself,&
The event was held at one of the largest hotels in the country. The guests were high officials in the government.“How is the preparation coming along?” I asked Peter as soon as we left the airport“Everything is ready, but they insisted that the president of JS Events be there to confirm it.”“What kind of people are these. I thought you had it under control. What do they want?”“I didn’t know who they are before, but they are influential people in city S.”“That unfortunate. I thought I would not return here for a long time.” I said out loud, and Peter curiously looked at me from the side. Of course, I was not going to tell him what had happened in the city beforeI went straight to my booked hotel room and dropped everything in there before going to the event venue. The engagement party would be on the ground floor of the same hotel I booked. Having made lots of money
I felt hurtI felt someone tap me from behind. I quickly opened my eyes, wiping the tears in my eyes. I composed myself before turning to see who was tapping me.I turned and was shocked. I turned again at the car parked at the entrance. There he was—a man I had never seen before. I turned to face the man behind me; my eyes popped open in surprise."Are you hoping to see me getting engaged?" James asked"I don't care. You can marry her today for all I care." I composed myself and said to him. He chuckled for a sec and pulled me into his arms. He hugged me tightly"Honey. I have truly missed you. There is no way I am going to marry someone else. I promised you that." He said, giving me a peck on my forehead. I felt warmth in my heart"Then why did you cheat on me back then?" I asked him in tears
"I want to know if you know something about this?" he asked, and this time, I was stunned."What are you talking about?" I asked, looking at him. I felt hurt. He would think I tried to hurt his father."I didn't mean to accuse you. But I wanted confirmation from you before I took any action. Let me tell you something. I trust you completely. I know you didn't do any of this?" he said, touching my face soothingly, but I still felt disturbed about his question. I felt hurt"Is this the show you promised me?' I asked him"No. I had prepared something huge for them, but they didn't fall for it." He said, sitting down on the couch"What's happening? And why am I the suspect in this case.""I don't know, but it's not a coincidence. Someone is trying to get you out of the way. But they are going the wrong way," he said, getting up.
