She didn't listen to me. This got me so frustrated, because it had been long since I had met someone as annoying as her. She towed the duvet to hips, pulling it off me completely. The scowls didn't resist my facial expression, my fingers locking in a hard fist.
"You know I can throw you off this bed?" I threatened.
She shrugged. The duvet settled on her chest, and she just shifted to the other side of the bed. She dunked into the soft foam, let out a sigh, and switched off the bedside lamp on the nightstand.
Okay, first, staying on the bed with her wasn't a good idea. What if something had to happen between us? And, second, since she had the guts to disagree with me, I would let her know that that wasn't something she should do very often.
This was it. In less than thirty minutes, Susan would be in this place. In a really long time, I hadn't been this fearful for anyone. Because I knew how terrible she could turn out to be, I had made sure the security around me was solid enough to protect me. I had asked four of my men to stay with Pablo and Drake behind the door of my office, and of course, Jason was here with me.With widened eyes, he leaned into his seat, placing his hands on the table in front of me. "Where's Antonio? Did you really ask him to spy on Susan?"I nodded indifferently. "Who else can do that job? You?""Yeah, right." He chuckled. "But, dude, come on, she's only a person. She's just like one of the typical chics out there. You're acting like you're gonna encounter God."&nbs
I was trying to be nice. After having issues with Tanya, I had decided to turn back to my old self. But, for some reason, I still wanted to give life a chance. However, if this woman kept on nagging this way, she would push me to the edge of my irk."Okay, why couldn't you go out there to visit her?" I dropped my hands on my waist, glaring even harder.She squeezed her face like a frustrated old woman, and huffed. "Told you I don't wanna leave the mansion after that moronic chic embarrassed me at our wedding. She had that posted on her social media. She ruined my reputation.""Reputation?" I scoffed. "Who're you? What's your background? I know nothing about those. Getting married to you was only because my aunt told me you're a good girl, and your family is great. So,
My night had never been as stressful as last night. I made sure to work even more, and had only slept for like three hours. My eyes caught the small glass mirror on my table, and lazily, I grabbed it. As expected, dark lines were around my eyes. My hair strands were tousled like a forest, begging for a brush to pass through them. I was so, so exhausted. Standing up, heading to the kitchen to get something to drink, I sighed out hard, and put my hands in the pocket of my sweatpants. Last night, I had taken a shower to have a good sleep, but then, I felt the urge to leave the room and come down here. I didn't trust myself around Rae, being honest. She was one bunch of a hot pie. I could end up persuading her to let me touch her, and it wasn't something I really wanted. The loud chatter and laughter from the kitchen made
"It's as if someone intentionally did this. I really didn't send the goods to that mall, sir. I promise you." My secretary, Monique, spoke in terror as she stood by the other side of my table, her eyes down.My nostrils flared, my blood boiling in anger. I knew she had done what I had asked her to do, but it was her job to ensure she monitored all the goods that were being moved around my malls. "Is this a joke? Do you wanna lose your job? This is gonna make us run at a loss! It's not just about the mix-up. You literally ordered thrice the goods we would normally order at South Dantry. The manufacturers won't accept them back after a week. What's this?""N-No, sir." She finally looked me in the eye. Yes, she had tears in her eyes. She was definitely petrified. "I swear, I did it right. I also can't make our company lose million
I rolled on my big bed, my stinky breath attacking my nose as I yawned. Sitting up on the bed, I rubbed my hands against my eyes, and blinked slowly. The room was kind of bright, brighter than usual. My eyes caught the couch Rae usually slept on, and surprisingly, she wasn't there."You're awake?" I flinched when I heard that familiar voice coming from the bathroom door. To my surprise, it was Tanya.She was wearing a night dress, her hair quite wet. Her chest was almost fully open, and it amazed me. Puzzled, I looked down at my blanket, raised it a bit, and realized I was naked. It made me gape.With a cute smile on her lips, she sauntered toward me. She sat beside me, her fingers playing around my jawline. "Hey, baby. Good morning." She stretched her arms
I let out another heavy breath. Why had she come here? She still had the guts to face me, after embarrassing me on the day of my wedding? How audacious she was."Hi, Ivan." She stood in front of me, a smirk hanging on her lips."What do you want?" I asked in a low voice.She glanced at Rae, rolled her eyes, and stepped closer. "Can you please tell that woman to leave? She'll invade our privacy?""Excuse me?" Rae snorted. She ambled over to us, stood beside Tanya, a tiny frown on her facial feature. "Yes, it's fine if you wanna speak with him. It's none of my business. But, can you try to be a little bit nice?""Hold it right there." With h
We settled to sit on a roadside bench. Goodness knew how Dale always discovered such silent places. I really doubted if anyone would be able to come here to disturb the serenity we felt. I stared up at the dark sky, sighed, and glanced at him. To get his attention off his phone, I took his hand. "How's everything going on?" I asked. For some unknown reason, I wasn't feeling the friendship and love between us. I couldn't even tell if I was the one acting like a stranger to him. This guy had been my friend for two years, and had been my boyfriend for six months, shortly before I had gotten married to Ivan. He had always been my greatest supporter, so feeling awkward around him just wasn't right. He smiled at me, intertwining our fingers in each other. "I'm cool. Just that I haven't seen you in a while. So, what's up wit
Like the tired and sleepy person I was, I rolled back and forth on the couch, debating with myself on whether or not it was time to wake up. I had had a crazy night, so it felt like I hadn't gotten enough sleep."Are you awake, ma'am?" The tiny voice coming from the side of the couch caught my attention.I opened my eyes a little, peeping through the small opening of the duvet which was over my body. Wait, who was that? Spotting a young, black woman in a casual sky blue dress, something like the maids' uniform, I pulled the duvet off my body swiftly, and sat up."Oh, hi." I tried to fix my tousled hair, smiling like a confused monkey. I was definitely confused. "Do you need something? I'm… surprised to see you here."
