Daniel didn't budge. He was used to me, but then he was fed up. "Why are you this angered?" "Of course I'm not. I'm just so pissed. I could rip the life out of that friend of yours." "Okay, why are you pissed? She's not your sister, you're not related, she's not even your lover. So why are you getting so worked up?" "Shut up! You know nothing, okay? If that would be all, please leave my office!" I roared. Anyone would have left, but Daniel wasn't threatened by me."I know why you are angry. You feel something for her, don't you?" He heaved a deep breath and took his seat in front of me. I narrowed my eyes as I immediately remembered giving him a job to carry out."I got her investigated." He said, as if reading my thoughts. He stretched his hand out and I collected the brown paper in his hands."Her surname wasn't found. If I didn't look closely, I'd think she's that famous business tycoon in Manhattan, but no." Daniel started, and I raised my eyes to look at him.Sure he didn't d
ReggieI walked into the place only to see her looking like she had been rough-handled. Her hair was a mess and some parts of her clothes were torn. You did the same to my dad. It's okay right I do the same to you. You don't hurt a Smith and get away with it."How long has she been like this?" I asked the person in charge."Six months now, sir. Should we continue or just get her treated?" He asked, staring at Angelica, who seemed to be talking to the doll in her hands.We couldn't go in. We just stood out. Staring at her from the outside."No. Let her remain like this. I'll get back to you if I ever change my mind." I rubbed my chin while staring at the freak in front of me."But sir…"Without sparing the man a glance, I said, "No 'buts', just do as I have said." I said. My voice void of emotions.*I arrived at the Manhattan station. I walked in with Stone by my side.Brown saw me and immediately got up from the mattress he was sitting on."Well, well, well, if it's not the prodigal
"Oh… I see. You're treating me and your unborn child this way just because of this shameless cheat?" She pouted. I rolled my eyes and walked away. I got into my office and she followed suit.I sighed, then pressed my intercom. "Get me a hot coffee," I ordered my secretary before letting out another sigh. Why did seeing both Levi and Bella bother me this much? It's not that I love or care about Bella. "After all these years! Your heart still melts whenever you see her." Alexia started faking a tear."Not now, Alexia." I waved."Seriously? I thought you weren't affected when you saw her at the bar the other day. What happened? Take it from me, the way she was enjoying Levi's company… I'm sure he had already had his way with her." She explained, rubbing her tummy."That is none of my business. We are no longer together, so she can sleep with whoever she wants." I muttered harshly. It was obvious I wasn't concerned, but what she just said got under my skin."Good to hear. Me and our
I gulped, my eyes remained glued to his lips and a desire to taste those divine lips stirred within me, but I had to maintain composure. "Can you just stop already? What do you want from me?" "You." He said expressionless."Not on your life," I murmured, but gosh! He heard me. Those words cut deep in him.Not in his life? The nerve. He narrowed his eyes."I have a very bad temper. You really wanna try me?""Well, my temper is worse." I raised my chin up at him. "I see your tongue has gotten sharper over the years," He narrowed his eyes, "But I'm not complaining, in fact? I love the new you." He continued, not breaking eye contact. "So you now work for Levi, isn't it?" He asked, taking a few steps forward while I took a step backward."Yes, do we have a problem with that, Mr. Reggie?" I swallowed as my back touched the wall and I knew there was no escape as he got close to me even more.Wait? I just called him Reggie.That name… Reggie… Why do I have the feeling that I know that nam
"I got her close first. It's only fair I get to sleep with her first, you punk," Reggie yelled back.Sleep with her? Who and what were they talking about? "Never! A deal is a deal." Levi's voice came."We both know Bella is a slut. If you wanna fuck her, it's fine. But you'll allow me have my way with her first." That was Reggie's voice.My soul left my body and my face turned white.A deal is a deal? Good lord. My eyes became teary as I heard a voice behind me."Ma'am? You can't stand there." It was Reggie's secretary.She had probably seen me eavesdropping. "I'm sorry," I said, walking out even though I heard them saying more threatening words to each other and I really wanna know why and how they both wanna have their way with me.Reggie called me a slut again. And I had foolishly proved him right after all.I'm such a big fool. Why did I allow my stupid urge get the best of me?~My cheeks were red. I looked up and saw that the car stopped at the Oakland club.I looked at the t
ReggieThis pretty chick was getting herself drunk in my club. I fumed and got into my car the moment I got the information.Daniel was slow, but at least he got to find her in less than one hour. Once I get my eyes on her, I would probably strangle life out of her for having me this worried.Christa had noticed the worried look on my face, but I had to lie so she doesn't think I was in a bad mood. Bella was a stubborn ass woman. After leaving my office, Levi and I had looked almost the entire company, but she wasn't there. It turns out she had left quite early or even right after she left my office.The nerve of that little figure to switch off her phone like that. A lot of different thoughts came to my head. I thought Brown had taken her away just as he threatened or she was kidnapped by a group of thugs or something."What a piece of work, she is." I muttered as I saw that we were almost at the club."If she could hear you right now. I'm pretty sure she would never allow you tou
BellaThe early morning light shone in through the lined curtains. I opened my eyes slightly and could feel my head throbbing in pain.I groaned, raising my hand to touch my head. "Damn." A yawn escaped my mouth as I sat up to survey where I was.The bed was so soft and comfy. It was extremely large. It's four times my normal bed. Compared to the dead bed, I sleep back at Captain's Bar. It's no wonder I have different nightmares that make me wake up late for work.The next thing I saw was the luxurious tiles on the floor. Then my eyes met the yellow-gold wall. The furniture and design were out of this world. It was really screaming luxury.How wealthy was my boss’ boss? Suddenly, the door went open and two ladies walked in. "Good morning, my lady." They chorused and bowed their heads.What is this? I don't need this. Wait, I'm going to be late for work. Levi would be so mad. Rubbing my head, I reached for my bag, but the first lady hurried to get it for me.She took it from the tabl
He walked away with a smile, as he had instructed Christa not to be too obvious around me. She nodded but didn't promise anything, as she knew she was too curious to keep shut. He was on a phone call when he saw me standing at the door and giving him a weird look. He turned around and gestured for me to get inside his car. His back was against me, so he couldn't see my face. I frowned and crossed my arms around my shoulder.'Where are we going?' I don't like it here, not one bit. "Hey," I heard a familiar voice behind me.It was his wife or girlfriend. I don't really care. What does she want, anyway?"Just so you know? Reggie and I are married! I'm sure you're not blind to see how heavy I am." She rubbed her tummy and my eyes left her face and fell on it.I narrowed my eyes. "Well, put a leash on your husband then! I have no intention of…""Bella! Car. now!!" Reggie's voice interrupted our conversation. He doesn't care, he just wouldn't leave Alexia anywhere close to me. As loving
