"I'm panicking a lot now Leo. I don't know what to do. If my last model doesn't show out there, it's over for me. All my chances of winning is forfeited." She said out of breath. She was trying her best not to burst into tears.
"Listen to me Kylie,you can think of something. I know you can." Leo said to her holding her shoulders.
She shook her head. "It's all over. The dress is ruined. Roselle has finally got what she wanted." Kylie said in a devastated and defeated tone.
Leo walked up to the dress and examined it. He started to rip off some sides of the dress with a scissors.
"What the bloody hell are you doing?!" Kylie asked alarmed as the rest of team gasped in shock.
He paid no attention to her until he was done and then took off the dress from the mannequin and faced her.
"Go wear it. Be your own model." He said.
"What?" She asked in shock.
He held her arms. "I know you don't trust me but listen to me for once please." He
Leo sat in the comfort of his office going through newspapers about the business world. The latest stock in the market when an headline caught his attention. He read the headline of the newspaper. "KYLIE SHELL PUBLIC DISPLAY FOR HER HUSBAND AT THE BROADWAY." And there was a picture of Kylie blowing him a kiss and also kissing his cheek. The kissing of his cheek he was well aware of but the latter he was not. Staring at the picture,he wondered if she did it for the media just as usual or not. Her expression was saying otherwise. She looked like she meant it but he could not say. She was a pro at acting sweet. He put the paper aside and the next one showed him holding Kylie,he skipped it not wanting to know what details were written there but the next one he could not ignore as the headline boldly wrote, "A BABY SO SOON?" And under it was the most crazy write up he had ever seen with a picture of him and Kylie with the family by the side. The writer won
The days rolled into weeks and weeks into months and Leo was fighting with himself. He had an inner battle with himself and this was about Kylie. The marriage. The undeniable feelings sprouting. Her essence. Her every being. He could no longer resist. He had not expected himself to feel this way for her. It was too soon and despite him denying it,the feelings lingered there. As a man who had never really being in love,he was quite unsure of it. It was only one thing he made clear to himself for now and that was he wanted her. He wanted her so badly that it hurts. He's been a celibate since the idea of getting married to her grew in her mother and his mother's head. He could no longer handle it. He could still remember the long cold shower he takes whenever he caught her naked or thought of her writhing beneath him. He sighed as he signed the last bit of paperwork. He had always prided himself for not mixing work and his personal life together
The sun rays filtered into the room and Leo was forced to stir up from his sleep.He groaned as he lifted his head,a wave of migraine hitting him hard.With his head lowered and his hand on his face,he got to a sitting position muttering to himself.Something was yet to register in his head. He felt like he was forgetting something and just at that moment Kylie's lipstick fell to the ground as she was about to apply it on her lips and the sound caught Leo's attention.She picked up the lipstick and their eyes met and she looked at him with remorse and looked away.That was when it all came to Leo. He looked at her side of the bed and noticed the red stains on it and he vividly remembered everything.Damn! He hurled damnations at himself as he realized he had forced himself on her.What would she think of him now? That he had taken advantage of her? Which he did. He swore.Why couldn't he control what was in between his legs. Why didn't he resist her a
"What are you doing?" She blurted out.He ignored her outburst still smiling as he pulled back a seat for her."Come sit down." He said to her.Slowly with hesitation,she walked towards him and sat down muttering a thank you and he placed a light kiss on her cheek.Kylie's stomach flipped and she pulled away from him.She wondered if he didn't go to work today just to do this.He sat opposite her still smiling. All she wanted to do was ignore him and just stare ridiculously at him but she could not pretend to be oblivious to the strawberry bruschetta sitting in front of her looking so creamy and gosh.. it was her favorite and also was the chicken piccata and she eyed it.How did he know these were are favorites?And like he read her mind, "I've been seeing you tell Nana to make them for you and I did my findings and they turned out accurate." He said.Kylie ignored him and dived into the strawberry bruschetta and moaned
Kylie was holding Sheila in her arms when she got a call from Rex. She placed Sheila in her stroller and picked up the call."Baby girl." He drawled."Really? Am I?" She questioned him."I've messed up a couple of times and I'm sorry about it." He apologized."Sorry? First you didn't show up at the club you asked me to be and then when during the Broadway show,you just disappeared without congratulating me and you never called since then." She said to him."What do you want me to do Kylie? You're married to someone else now and I do try to call you. Do you ever call me?" He demanded turning the tables against her."Rex,I'm sorry.. I," She began to feel guilty.Out of nowhere, Leo snatched her phone from her hand and placed it on loudspeaker."Don't you call this number again. She's now mine." He said and didn't wait to receive an answer as he ended the call."What the heck was that for?" She asked angrily."
"And where are we going?" Kylie asked Leo as soon as they got seated in his private jet. "You'll see." He told her still smiling as he closed his eyes and leaning into the seat. Kylie looked away from him and back to the window as her thoughts raced. Why did she agree to this in this first place? Doesn't she know what it meant to be on a ' just you and I' trip? especially when that ' I' was a male? She was beginning to regret why she agreed. She could have just told him an outright no. What would they be discussing alone? What? She groaned inwardly. This was going to be more torturous than she expected. The plane landed in the airport of the Bahamas and Kylie was surprised. Just few days ago,she had been going through a list of places to take a vacation by the end of the year and she had thought of the Bahamas. Was how he paid attention to every little details? She watched him as he spoke to the pilot. What
Kylie relaxed on one of the beach benches with a cocktail beside her and a sunhat on her head as her mind went back to the events of last night. What was wrong with her? Why could she not control her body demands around him.He's opened her and got her wanting more.She slowly cursed underneath her breath as she took a sip from the cocktail.If the first time was a mistake,a rape and force,what was the second and third time? She questioned herself.For she had readily given herself to him as soon as he played his game right again. Her heart wasn't yearning for him,so she believed but her body wanted the whole of him. The whole of what he could offer. The greater heights of climax he could take her. She heaved as she recalled all of the times he had helped her out.He wasn't that of a bad man was he? But why did he have those rugged tattoos on his body? A business man at that. What was it that he could be hiding? Her mother had insisted on this marr
"You won't condemn me?" Leo asked her and she shook her head. "No but though I would have preferred you handed them over to the cops." Kylie said.He nodded. "But the cops waste too much time." He said and groaned.Kylie laughed. He stood up to his feet."May I be excused for a while?" He asked her with a smile."Sure." She said and watched him walk away.She decided to lean back in her bench and reel on what he just told her when she saw someone who looked like Rex."Rex?" She muttered to herself and got to her feet. Her heart pounding. What if her eyes were betraying her and he wasn't the one?Curiously she walked towards where she had seen him but found no one there."What's wrong with me?" She asked herself out loud. "Just moments ago,I was so glued to Leo's intriguing story and now I'm imagining that Rex is here." She said slapping her forehead."Are you okay?" Leo asked pulling her arm.She jumped back in fr
