THE FLIGHT BACK HOMEPriscilla was troubled.This was because her father did what he was always known for. Which was deliberately leaving her out of his agenda. She was beginning to get afraid that her father might cut Matteo out of her life.She was angry at him throughout the flight, but Matteo had not even been bothered. She struggled to understand what Matteo was planning but her informant was not picking up her calls.Then there was a rumor going around the company that there would be a shakedown to filter resourceful employees and stagnant ones. It annoyed and astonished her that she was not made aware of it directly by her informant.She wondered why he was not answering his phone. It seemed strange that this was happening. She began to believe that something was wrong but could not pinpoint the problem.When they got off the plane, a black sleek Mercedes was waiting for them. Matteo slowly got down and waited for Priscilla to join him on the ground."You will take the car and
A STRANGE PROMOTIONMatteo decided to do what he hated greatly.He decided that he was going to be patient, he was too traumatized to stay still for a long time, but he knew he had to try. He wanted to get better and move on from his experience, but it was going to take time and effort.He decided to stand back and watch Diana. He refused to pester her like a child. He was ready and willing to see where all her decisions would take her. Provided that she still remained in his company.He couldn't help but wonder if there was more to her departure. Maybe she had found a better opportunity or wanted to pursue further studies. He wanted to see her blossom.He heard Nana's voice echo in his head."Let a lady be herself with you."He had failed to heed that little advice and now he was paying for it. He walked up to the two of them and looked sadly at Diana, yet determinedly at Nicholas.He planned to expose Nicholas and show Diana that he was just as bad if not even worse than she could e
A CALM MATTEOAmanda scoffed as soon as she saw Diana emerge from the lift."Here comes the wife," she bitterly thought to herself. She hated the fact that Diana worked here and she made it obvious with her facial expression. She never even tried to hide it.Diana walked past her without a glance. She was in no mood to exchange words with the secretary. She had deemed her unworthy and a slut since the day she made love to her husband on her coach. She honestly wondered why Matteo had not fired this woman already.Amanda Knowles did not like that. She could not accept being disrespected by her boss's wife. She had expected at least a form of greeting and she wanted to be the one at the controlling end."Do you have an appointment?" Amanda asked coldly.Diana kept on walking and scoffed at Amanda's question. She wanted to ignore Amanda but decided to give her a city reply that would get to her."I do not need an appointment to see Matteo, dearest secretary. You do your job and I'll do
ESCAPE FROM THE REAL WORLDDiana felt very triggered by the casual demand that Matteo's ex just made.It was one crazy demand after another with this woman. She was fed up with all the drama Matteo brought into her life. She still could not believe the guts that the crazy ex had, showing up in her office to make demands.Priscilla sat with her legs crossed and smirked at her rival. This naive wife of Matteo did not know him as she did. She was the only one who knew Matteo and she was not going to let another woman take that status. She wondered why this woman was still in Matteo's life after everything that had happened."This conversation is over," Diana declared angrily as she stood up. She refused to stare at Priscilla again and instead, stared up ahead."You don't even know the man you're married to," Priscilla mocked, her smile grew wider and she did not even make any attempt of getting to her feet.Diana corked her brows at the woman before her. She was tired of hearing this ve
THE FLINGNicholas' kiss was soft and gentle.It was unlike anything Diana had ever felt before. His lips lingered on hers every time he stopped to catch a breath but he never broke away.He tasted better than anything she had anticipated and the hands he ran over her body left tingling sensations behind. This all transferred to her stomach and made the butterflies flutter violently.He sucked on her lower lip and gave her gentle bites that left her hungering for more. It was as if he was kissing her and not kissing her at the same time.Nicholas on the other hand was finally living his dream. He had been promoted and he had finally gotten the girl of his dreams. Everything else might have felt strange, including the way he suddenly got promoted but he sure knew that tonight was going to be a long night as he was going to keep making love to Diana over and over again until the sun would rise.He ran his hands down her butt and grabbed her ass. Diana moaned against his lips before lett
THE STRANGE CALLERNicholas woke up first.He threw a glance at the woman sleeping peacefully beside him. It still felt surreal that he was able to spend the night with Diana. He was grateful for being the one to interview her that day. If he had missed that chance, then he would not be having the time of his life tonight.He gently got off the bed so as not to wake her and quietly left the room. He walked toward the kitchen ignoring some of the clothes strewn across the living room floor. He remembered how they had been pulling each other's clothes off in a frenzy. He chuckled as he vividly remembered it.He poured himself some red wine and enjoyed the silence. He was quite content for tonight. A new promotion at his place of work and a beautiful woman warming up his bed.What more could he ask for? As he sipped his wine, a big smile found its way to his face. He could not seem to contain his excitement. The cold in the atmosphere was seeping into his body.He chuckled as he realized
THE STRANGE CALLER 2Diana woke up first. She looked at Nicholas's sleeping face for a while before his lips moved."That's just creepy, Diana. Your staring," Nicholas muttered,"No. I am gazing at you, there is a difference," Diana playfully protested."Okay, creep," Nicholas joked.Diana laughed and rolled her eyes. Nicholas pulled her close and they snuggled together for a while."Nick?" Diana called him softly."What is it?" Nicholas whispered."Should we call in sick? I don't feel like going to work today, we should just stay in bed all day." Diana wistfully said."We could, but we just got promoted and I don't think we will be setting a good example for future aspiring workers," Nicholas said as he stroked her hair.Diana sighed. She did not want to leave, besides not only had they overslept, but they also had business delegates to meet today."We should get ready," Nicholas said."Great, now I have to repeat yesterday's outfit," Diana complained, wishing she has more time to g
IRRITATION OF A CRAZY EXMatteo did not want to think about what his wife was up to.She did not come home last evening and now she was reporting for work like nothing happened. Yet as much as he did not want to think about it, he found himself doing exactly that.He was in his office, waiting for the business associates of the Jover Anvil conglomerate. The CEO had committed suicide in his presence but that was a secret he was taking to his grave.He was going to merge his family company and the conglomerate to expand the business. The formality was that the board of directors was officially signing over the company.Matteo hoped that the family of the aggrieved were well compensated. The door to his office opened and Priscilla walked in without knocking. She sat abruptly across him and glared.Matteo held back a frustrated groan. He had forgotten that this woman existed. He had no time for her incessant drama today, she was no longer a priority.However, it did not change the fact th
