ALANNAWhat is it about Elevators and the urge to fuck in them?Nolan is insufferable, Nolan is a glutton for punishment. He doesn't know when to stop, he doesn't know when I have reached my limit. I breathed out as soon as I shut the door of my office and leaned on the door frame.“Ahhhhhhh” I yelled out slightly, hitting my fist repeatedly on the door.Fuck him!Fuck him!I hate him! I hate him so much! Why does he always put me in a situation where I need to fight against my will? He is such a terrible person. I was still lamenting about my Nolan ordeal when I heard a knock on the door. I startled and rose from the door, adjusting my blue flair gown, I said a silent prayer hoping it was not Nolan. I already had enough of Nolan for one day. I peeped through the glass and saw it was indeed a Mr. Westbrook, not just the one I loathe. Brad WestbrookI let out an exasperated gasp and pulled the doorknob. “Alanna,” Brad greeted, his eyes beaming at the sight of me.“Brad, pleas

BRADGod Alanna is so fucking gorgeous, she is the bodily embodiment of heaven on earth. A fucking goddess. Gosh, I want to fuck her. BadlySlow down cowboy, this is not your play, you need to take it slow and steady, or else you will lose her. Right now she thinks you are better than all the fucking Westbrook in this empire, so you need to keep her thinking that way, I chant to myself. I made my way outside her office, Beaming that she agreed to go on a date with me. As I made my way towards my office, I decided that where is the fun if I don't get to rub it in Golden Boy Face? I strode to his office and thankfully his door was open so I walked in. I didn't need an invitation, he was on a call but as soon as he saw he paused mid-sentence and glared at me. “I will come over to your house later Jake,” he said right before hanging up the phone, I knew who he was talking to. His loyal dog of a friend, Jake.“What do you want Brad, is it not too early to be lost?” he asked as he

ALANNA“You are dead to me, Alanna,”Those words echoed in my ears as I tried to comprehend if this woman who I stood before was truly my mother. I took in a deep breath reminding myself that she was sick and dying and nothing I would say or do would change that. So I needed to show her sympathy. “I know you are going through a lot of pain Mum and….” I paused as soon as she rolled her eyes when I called her mum. I could see the gaze of disgust fall upon her. Did she really hate me that much? That it felt unbearable to her to hear me call her mum. I shrugged that thought away and continued, “I want to let you know that despite all our differences, I care about you a lot and I will be here for you no matter what,” I finally said in a low tone. “You think now that you have money, it can buy and erase all that you did, to me, to Brian,” she replied, glaring at me. “I am not trying to buy or erase anything, Mum,” and again she shrugged at the word. Tears began to well up in my eye

ALANNAHow can one hate someone so dearly and still get so wet just thinking about the person? For a week, all that had been on my mind was the weird encounter I had with my father and the possibly awkward date I was going to have with Brad today.I had to push forward my date with Brad last week because I had to go on a business trip outside the country. I also used the trip as a means to buy myself time. But right now, all that didn't matter, I was seated directly opposite Nolan, silently exchanging glance with one another and seven of the shareholders. Brad wasn't present, because apparently, it was executives only.“The profit margins between the last four months and the previous had an increase of sixty-eight percent which also means the number in figures has well surpassed six hundred million in profit, in just six months,” he spoke in a stern tone, his face fixated on the projected number and chart on the screen. Fuck, Nolan looked like some Egyptian god at this moment, he

BRADIf I am lucky and play my cards right tonight. I will end up with Alanna in my bed.I need to let her in as soon as possible because it was clear to me, that Nolan wants her, and from past experiences, what Nolan wants, Nolan gets. “This place is so beautiful, I didn't know such a place existed in this town,” Alanna rema.ked as we got out of the car. “This is nothing, the best is yet to come,”We stepped out of the elevator and into the rooftop restaurant, and my breath caught. The place was stunning. Soft, warm lights hung above, casting a golden glow over everything. Tables were set with crisp white linens and gleaming silverware. There were lush green plants all around, giving the space a fresh, vibrant feel. The view was incredible, with the city lights twinkling far below us.“You are right, I am stunned,” she declares with a familiar sparkle of amusement in her eyes as she takes in the splendor of the environment. And then there was Alanna. She looked absolutely gorgeous
