To rejuvenate herself, she decided to indulge in a shopping spree, an activity she had always found therapeutic.

Lucas sat in his leather chair behind his desk, gazing out of the floor-to-ceiling windows that framed the breathtaking view of his vast estate.In front of him was a bottle of wine picked from one of the finest breweries in France. A glass firmly placed by the side filled with the red wine, the sight of it made him think of blood. Taking a sip, the aroma of blackberries and oak filled his nostrils before he could have the desired taste he wanted at the tip of his tongue.The office he was in was adorned with bookshelves lined with several antique globes he had gotten from his various travels. A smile curved on his lips as he waited for a good news from his men.The door to his office opened and a young man walked in.“Any news? Is he dead?” Lucas asked in anticipation.The man was utterly silent.“Can’t you speak?” He demanded and answer for his question, Lucas has been eagerly waiting for his answer for a while.“Our men are dead”“And him, is he dead?” He asked again.“He killed

Concerned about the lack of response from Richard over the past two days, Elaine grew increasingly worried and decided to pay a visit to his magnificent mansion. As she approached, she noticed his car parked outside, leaving her certain that he was at home. Taking a deep breath, she stood by the door, gathering her courage before pressing the doorbell.Seconds ticked by, and just as Elaine was beginning to wonder if Richard had heard the bell, the door swung open. Her eyes widened as she came face to face with Richard, clad only in a towel wrapped around his waist, exposing his well-defined chest. Still dripping with water, his damp hair added to his disheveled appearance. The sight left Elaine momentarily speechless, completely captivated by his physique. Unbeknownst to her, Richard had already spoken to her twice, his words lost in her daze."What are you doing here?" Richard asked for the third time, raising his voice to ensure she heard him above the confusion and distraction caus
After spending the morning reading various books in a library that could get her mind of Richard, Elaine decided to drink some coffee and then return home to rest.She took her seat sipping her coffee when she spotted some teenagers kissing in another table.“Stupid” she cursed and picked up herself, she didn’t want to stare at anything that would remind her of Him.She cat walked out of the cafe with her bag when her phone began ringing, she reached into her bag trying to pick it pot when she bumped into a man.From how strong he was, she fell down to the ground.The contents in her bag fell on the ground and scurried to pick it up, after all that, she stood up to find that the man was already walking away.“Don’t do Elaine, just walk away” she said but her legs were faster and they got to him easily.“Excuse me” she spun him to face her.“Do you realize that you bumped into me and just couldn’t say sorry” she inquired.“You bumped into me” the man answered.“How is that possible, I
“Elaine open up” Richard kept knocking the door demanding for Elaine to open it up.“No” she refused standing by the door listening to every knock he had made.“I need to talk to you, open up” he requested.“I said leave, I don’t want to talk to you or see your face ever again” she answered. She had strictly written that on the note but he just didn't listen to her.“Don’t make me break this door down, you know very well that I can do that” he threatened her. What he wanted to discuss was much more important than their argument.“I don’t care, I would like to see you break it down” she said crossing her arm as she continued to listen to him knock on the door, she was hellbent on not opening it for him.“I just need to talk to you and that is all” he informed eager,“I don't want to talk to you, is that so hard for you to comprehend” she yelled at him frustrated that he kept prying into her life whenever he wanted.Richard had tried to use tough approach to get to her but it didn't wor
Elaine had spent a week engrossed in the captivating world of books. From thrilling mysteries to non-fiction, she had explored so many genre. But as her due date approached, she knew it was time return the books to the library. The books had been a companion for her both day and night helping her to forget about a man named Richard, who could climb into her mind at will.Taking a shower and picking up a simple blue dress and then tied her hair into a ponytail, she stood in front of the mirror to access herself. She looked casual as she had expected herself to so she nodded her head in confirmation ready to go.She picked up each book and stuffed them into a canvas bag.With a canvas bag slung over her shoulder, Elaine stepped through the library's grand entrance. The familiar scent of aged pages and polished wood greeted her, invoking a sense of calmness that only a library could offer.As she made her way to the desk, Elaine couldn't help but admire the library's well-organized arran
The moment between them was so intense that Richard couldn't breathe. Her beautiful eyes staring intently into his and all he could think of was sucking those pink lips.“Get a grip of yourself” his inner voice told him and he hastily pulled pack from Elaine before things got out of hand.“Cover up yourself” he instructed and she snapped back to her senses too.Elaine was utterly confused, how dare he ask her to cover up when he was the one who ripped her clothes apart, she picked up a towel and wrapped around herself before chasing him to the bedroom.“What the hell?” she asked. Why did he have to do that everytime, he knew how much she wanted him and he made sure to tease her each time about it.She rushed forward and blocked his path but he couldn't look her in the eye, He was silent staring at a wall.“What is wrong with you, why would you forcefully rip my clothes, force me to take a shower and then leave me hanging like that. What the hell is going on?” she demanded an answer fo
