ALANNANOLAN IS RUTHLESS!I glared at Nolan as we made our way to the construction site. The sight of him physically hurting Brenda still lingers on my mind. Is he the monster I used to know? But he was never violent or abusive. What would have happened if I had not walked in on them? I knew Brenda was a little overbearing but what did she do to warrant such treatment from Nolan?“Were you going to hit her?” I asked, finally breaking the silence that was present in the car as the chauffeur drove us. He sat close to me but was avoiding eye contact with me. “Hit who?” he asked, feigning ignorance, I rolled my eyes, because I was aware he knew who I was talking about. “Brenda,” I replied with an irritable tone. “No,” he simply said. He gave no further explanation which made me boil in rage. I scowled, “I saw you holding her,”“She deserved it,” he responded, my eyes widened, was he justifying his actions?“Deserved?”“Yes, deserved, and Alanna can you drop this conversation, I don
NOLANI knew she could stand up for herself, a guy like that was no match for the strong woman who stood before me.But I wanted to stand up for her. I had zero tolerance for people, especially men who felt they were superior to women, and hence tried to show that superiority by demeaning and condescending women. Why I threatened Brenda wasn't because I felt superior to her but because she wanted to take advantage of me and Alanna's situation to exploit us and that was another thing I would never stand for. “I am hungry, I think we should have brunch before we head to the other construction site,” Alanna announced casually as we headed back to the car after I scared Riley shitless. Men like him were mostly all talk and no action.Whereas I would have fucked with him in the worst possible way if he had tried to disrespect Alanna again. “Okay, I think we passed a bread and breakfast on our way here,” I responded, instructing the chauffeur to take us there. After the short ride t
BRADFuck!Fuck!Fuck!We are so so so fucked. “What the fuck is she doing here?” Chloe asked, panicking, as she picked up her dress from the floor and tried as fast as she could to get into them.“I don't know,” I whispered, scrutinizing my office, trying to figure out the possible solution to this mess.We should really stop fucking in the office. “Or are you also having an affair with her,” Chloe asked as she picked up her bag from the couch.“Of course not.” I glared at her and then stared at the toilet, “Get in there, and don't come out, till I tell you,”There again, the door was knocked, this time harder than the first time.“I don't want to,” she mumbled, “I am claustrophobic,” “I don't care, we don't want to get caught so get the fuck into that toilet,” I shoved her into the toilet and shut the door behind me.I glanced at the office one last time to make sure there were no loose bras on the floor, I used my hands to lurk through my hair which were now so messy, right be
ALANNA“Because I am already addicted to you, can't you see it, I cannot stay away from you, even if I tried.”My knees were growing weak and everything in my body was about to give way at the utterance of his words.Why do I grow so weak just thinking about what his hands could do to me? Where his mouth could go in me. It is crazy, how I am unable to control myself when I am around Nolan. He knows it, he is perfectly aware of how my body responds to his touch.Just then his phone rang and he sighed.“It is from the other construction company,” he announced, disappointment etched all over his face. I sighed in relief because that call might as well just saved me from the Nolan’s effect. The rest of the day was pretty much uneventful, we went to the site and it was pretty much what we wanted, we did some inspection of the ground and decided we were going to close the deal the next day once the paperwork was ready.After that, we ordered takeout because I wouldn't risk being in the
ALANNA Waking up to Nolan by my bedside felt like old times. Only that this didn't feel like old times. In old times, Nolan would have come home late from work, hung over from his frustration of having a father who only saw the worst in him. He would reek of alcohol. In old times, Nolan would be grumpy and yell at me, he would scream about how our marriage was a mistake and wish I could just disappear. In old times, Nolan hated me, and I grew to hate him too. “Alanna, don't think too much about it,” Nolan whispered and that was when I realized he wasn’t sleeping and had been staring at me for a while. I rose from the bed, sitting up straight and resting my back on the headboard. I pulled the duvet to myself because I realized how bare my skin was in the silk nightgown. “Nothing happened, we just slept,” Nolan added, standing up from the bed, he could see the concern in my eyes.“Nolan, this isn't right, you are married and I think we should just leave it at that. We are not su
ALANNAIt has been less than twelve hours since I came back from my Vegas trip with Nolan and I was back to the office. We had taken a flight that night and came back to town. I didn't want to risk staying another night with Nolan because I feared what might happen. Nolan didn't disagree with me, instead, he said something like.“It is fine, Alanna. I know I disgust you and you are irritated by me but for the sake of business can we just at least tolerate each other?” he had asked, he wasn’t asking anything too much. I mean, tolerate Nolan Westbrook, I can do that. Or so I thought.As soon as I got out of the Elevator, I saw Brad, beaming at me. Had he been standing there waiting for me?“Alanna,” he called out, gesturing a wave towards me. Honestly, I would rather avoid everyone this morning. I gave him a half smile as he approached me, placing a kiss on both cheeks in a somewhat formal way.“Hey Brad,” I greeted as I began walking to my office. “How was your trip with Nolan?
NOLANI am a gentleman.I swear I am, but when it comes to Alanna, everything gives way and I am no longer in control of my body. Doesn't she know the effect she has on me? walking in here, looking as gorgeous as she does, acting all bossy and sassy at the same time.Doesn't she know how turned on I get at the mere sight of her? I immediately go under the influence when her hazel-green eyes pierce through mine.Gosh, she takes my breath away in every sense of the word, nothing and everything makes sense when I am with Alanna.“Nolan we agreed to keep things professional from here on out,” Alanna whispered and I stared at her, she still had her back to the table and all I could think about was turning her over, pinning her to the table, and thrusting deep into her. I miss her in that kind of way too. But instead, I loosened my grip on her hands and she took a few steps away from me and straightened her posture in a way she appeared more composed. “You make it so hard Alanna for m
NOLAN“Woah, woah men slow down, what do you mean by get a divorce, this would be the second time you are getting that,” Jake cautioned with his eyes widened in perplexion. “I can't stay married to Chloe,” I retorted. “There is no feeling between us, it is more like two strangers, living together, I am sure I am doing her a favor by setting her free,”Jake stood up and walked to me, taking the bottle of wine off my hands and placing it on the other side of the counter before I poured myself another glass, “One glass is enough for you, clearly alcohol makes you irrational,”“I am not being irrational, you know these things already, I have been complaining about my marriage way before Alanna showed up,”“But you have never thought about divorce until now and do you know the crazy thing, Alanna doesn't even want you, she had made it clear a thousand times,”I sighed, and collapsed on the stool, close to the counter, “She doesn't mean it,” I tried to defend but I wasn't sure because I
