Kelvin’s jaw ticked. The voice from the other end of the phone annoyed him. Amara was in the seat before him, making another phone call. He gave her a thumbs down and she cancelled a name from the list on her notepad.
Most part of yesterday had been spent on getting a list of current and potential investors of Contra Tech, the company Charles led. Kelvin had only one mission. To ruin Charles. The restraining order was one step in the right direction. Kelvin would take everything the man loved, leave him as helpless as he left Leila.
“Sir, Contra Tech is currently in the process of signing with Good Corp,” Amara muttered.
Good Corp was another popular tech company, Contra Tech and Good Corp could create wonders that would rock the media. Kelvin hadn’t thought of a deal with them because he recently acquired Tech Valley from its previous owner. But the longer the thought stayed in his mind, the more he wanted it. He would
Kelvin was fingering her. He was touching her in ways that made her want to scream. Leila tried to pull out his hand but he threw her a stern glare. They were at another eatery for lunch. An eatery of her choice.This eatery wasn’t as private as the ones she and Kelvin always ate their lunch. The other booths were occupied, there was a couple behind them but Kelvin simply didn’t care. She tried to feign nonchalance but he was doing silly things to her body.“Kev,” she breathed out, nails digging into their table with the menu on it.A waiter came over and dropped their meals on the table, Kelvin’s finger curled around her clit and she tried too hard to smile but it came off as a scowl. He retracted his wet fingers as the waiter retreated and pushed them into her mouth.An old lady at the other corner glared at Leila and she sucked harder on her husband’s fingers, much to the woman’s horror. Leila could not u
Kelvin was her meet cute. It still felt so surreal to Leila. She changed into her night gown and brought out the box of pictures for Kelvin who was still in the shower. They agreed showering together meant longer baths and they were both exhausted after today’s work.The renovation of her new office was almost done. With the new position came a ton of work, more work than she had done when she was sharing an office. It was a good and bad thing. It was good because she had the office to herself and it was on the same floor as Kelvin. This part, she believed Sarah might have done deliberately to keep her close to her husband. The naughty man was always coming to steal kisses.It was bad because she didn’t have her silly co-workers to bother her anymore. She wouldn’t have believed it possible but she missed Lily and Susie’s banter. They visited but it wasn’t the same.Leila emptied the pictures on the tiled floor. The floor was c
The numbers of viewers within the estimated ages had increased. Leila clicked on another statistics and grinned broadly. Star Glows was just in its second week and it was doing great. Sarah jokingly mentioned a second season and the first wasn’t even halfway done. She closed the tab and picked up her phone. There was no text from her husband.Kelvin had made it a point of duty to badger her phone with cheesy one-liners she pretended to hate. Now there was none, she felt awkward.Done with her work portion for the day, she was bored out of her mind. She walked to the window and sat by the ledge. Kelvin promised to find her parents. It made her happy and sad. For years, she hadn’t made any real efforts to look for them.What if they were sick or dead?Her fingers flattened against the window. They would have loved this city, they would have been proud of her.On cue, she dialled her mother’s number but it did
Leila walked into the restaurant with only one thought in her mind. What the fuck did this woman want from her? She peeked at her wristwatch, it was an hour more to lunch time. Kelvin would have her head if she missed lunch and his anger would only be fuelled if he found out the real reason she skipped lunch. She had to be fast.She found the lady she was looking for by a table close to the window. A pair of sunglasses was perched on her nose, lipstick so red and bright it was the first thing Leila noticed about her. She walked briskly to the table and claimed the seat opposite her without the woman asking.Mia’s handbag was on the table and Leila’s lips curled in disdain when she dragged it out of sight. The woman didn’t have to worry about Leila stealing her money, she didn’t need it.“What about my mother?” Leila asked. “Why am I here?”The text to meet up with her came in this mor
Fuck. Kelvin massaged his temples and tried to read the words from the invitation letter on his screen again. Same thing. What manner of fuckery was this?He didn’t get an invitation to Charles’s wedding but his sister did and she sent him a copy. She was the best friend to the bride.Kelvin's phone rang while he was still trying to process the fuckery. Madonna shouldn’t have sent him that card. It was none of his business who Mia got married to. If Mia wanted him at her wedding, she would have sent him an invitation.A strange number appeared on his screen and he hesitated to pick it. Only family and a few colleagues had this number. The phone continued ringing and he ended the call. If it was important, they would contact his assistant.Kelvin sent a text to Madonna and reclined on his seat with his eyes closed. That card triggered him more than he thought possible. What the fuck was Mia thinking by agreeing to marry
“Where are you taking me?” Leila asked. She touched her blindfold and Kelvin pushed her hand away. Since yesterday after the police incident, he had been hovering over her like a mother hen. He didn’t even allow her pick up her car from the restaurant. “Baby, tell me.”“If I tell you, it’s no longer a surprise.”Fuming, she crossed her hands on her chest. She felt the heat from his hand before he touched her and her breath caught in her throat. She was in the yellow dress because he asked her to wear something exquisite. Kelvin’s fingers inched closer to the slit, her hairs stood on edge and she swallowed her groans.“Don’t be mad, okay? It’s a surprise,” he whispered against her lips. Leila nodded because she didn’t know what else to do. His fingers were closer to her panties, a few moves and he would be inside her. Leila wanted that. She jerked forward and Kelvin wi
The door pushed open, Leila rushed to the sink and sprinkled water on her face. Her chest rose and fell, the sensation between her legs were more intense and it made it harder for her to stand straight. She dropped her purse on the sink and pulled off her panties.Doing a small spin in front of the mirror, her lips quirked. Her hair was already down her shoulders but she combed through it with her fingers to give it more volume. She tucked the panties into her purse and spun to leave but the door opened before she could take another step.Freya walked in with a mischievous smile. Her best friend was beside her in a second, doubled over with laughter.“Girl, what’s wrong with you?” Freya asked.“Nothing?” Leila replied. She wasn’t sure what exactly her best friend was getting at. “What’s going on?”Freya sauntered to the sink and turned on the tap to rinse her hands.
They got home moments later. Their movements were sloppy and hands shaky as they tried to undress each other. Leila hit the back of her legs on the bed and howled. Kelvin released her to switch on the lights. In their haste and horniness, they forgot about the light.“Are you okay?” he asked.“Yeah.”Her fingers moved over the neckline of her dress, she took a step towards him and another till she was right in front of him. Kelvin’s hand faltered over her stomach, she held his gaze for a long second, then spun. His breath warmed her neck as he unzipped her dress slowly, and she bit her lips to stop a moan from escaping.Cold air brushed against her stomach as the gown fell to a heap on the floor. She stepped out of it and started on Kelvin’s buttons. His jacket came off first, shirt and trousers followed and he was left in only his tank and briefs.Their breaths formed a white mist, they stood i
