" Alyssa, that was so--- Drick? I thought your meeting didn't end till Friday?" she entered hugging him and pecking him on his lips which took him aback.
" I just got back and today is Friday." he corrected watching her amusedly. But what really caught his attention was the dress she was wearing. She was wearing a striped patchwork blouse paired with jeans bum shorts and a pair of heels then a Maison Michel straw logo plaque hat. She looked ravishing.
" Had anything to eat yet?" she asked just as Alyssa descended the staircase.
" Nope, Alyssa was about fixing me something to eat," he responded.
" Dont bother Aly, please take my suitcase upstairs for me I'd take care of lunch today," Briella walked past him with a smirk on her face. What most people didn't know was that she loved cooking, she never hired a cook but just a maid to help with cleaning and other things except cooking. That was her favorite thing to do aside from being a boss lady.
"Are you sure you can handle this? Alyssa can handle it or we could go out to get lunch, it is not a big deal is it?" Kendrick nervously asked.
" Oh ye men of little faith," she shook her head walking into the kitchen.
" Please don't burn down the house,"
" It actually hurts to how you have no trust in me, but I understand," she smirked taking off her hat and beginning with her meal. She wanted to surprise him with her infamous Asian stir fry and luckily for her all the ingredients needed for her meal were in stock.
She began by setting aside the fresh egg noodles after rinsing them with cold water. She then
marinated the chicken for 15 minutes in a small mixing dish with all of the ingredients from the marinade. She added 1 tablespoon of frying oil and heated it in a wok. When the wok was hot, she then added the chicken and pan-fried it on both sides until it was slightly browned and blackened. The chicken was placed in a bowl after removing it from the pan. Separately set aside.She cleaned the wok and heated it with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. She mixed in the minced garlic until it was light brown or aromatic. Briella stirred in the shredded cabbage and carrot. The aroma of the food hit Kendrick hard that he couldn't help but moan out.
Something does smell nice, I hope it tastes as delicious as it smells.
She then mixed in the noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. She allowed it to continue to stir-frying until the noodles were well combined with the spices and completely cooked through.
Finally, she removed it from the heat and divided it between two serving dishes. She then decorated it with sesame seeds and scallions. She put two plates of the chicken noodle stir-fry on a tray and then carried it into the dining. Alyssa helped by bringing two glasses and a bottle of red wine and water and setting them on the table.
"Drick, lunch is served," Briella announced. Kendrick reluctantly stood up from the couch and headed to the table. His wife uncovered his food as soon as he sat down.
" This looks good, I hope it tastes as good as it looks," he immediately regretted the words as they flew out of his mouth.
" Well, why don't you try it out then?" she smiled encouraging him to take a bit. She watched as his expression changed when the food hit his tastes buds. It was the best chicken stir fry noodles he had ever tasted in all the restaurants he had been to.
" Babe! This is wonderful, it's delicious. So so good! Why didn't you open up a restaurant?" he praised her.
What? Wait a minute, wasn't he the one condemning her food a second ago and now he's praising her? Alyssa thought to herself.
" I thought you underestimated my cooking skills?" she raised a brow at him.
" I'm sorry, you're the best cook ever. No offense Alyssa," he said.
" None taken boss, but Ma'am he's right, this is really nice," Alyssa complimented eating from the plate Briella had left for her in the kitchen.
" Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate them especially from you Drick," she smiled at him.
Was it always going to be like this?
If yes, then I think I like it here.
" I know you wanted her, and not me but please I just don't do it in front of me," Briella said walking out of his bathroom with a short towel around her beautiful body frame. The hot water in her room wasn't working so she decided to use the bathroom in her husband's room. She heard him when he came into the room but decided to remain quiet without letting him know about her presence." What were you doing in there?" he asked becoming defensive." I came to take a shower Kendrick, it's not as if I killed someone or stole something. I work to earn my own money," she replied waiting for an answer." Yeah, I thought so too." she walked to her room. Ever since he got back from his trip he had been acting too suspicious and as if she was in his personal space.Briella changed into something warm but sexy, packed a duffel bag, and left the house without telling anyone. She needed to cool off and wrap her head over what was going on. The only place she th
Briella stood in the kitchen wearing a black hot back bondage hollow lace silk sling night dress preparing breakfast for herself and her husband. Alyssa was amazed to see her boss in the kitchen after they had looked everywhere for her the previous night." Are you going to stand there or would you like to help?" Briella broke Alyssa from her daze." Um- so-- good morning Ma-- I--mean Brie." she fumbled with her words making Briella laugh. Kendrick noticed his wife's bedroom door was unlocked. He poked his head inside to see if anyone was there. Her bed looked as if someone had slept in it even though it had been laid.He shrugged it off and headed to the kitchen to get some water to drink. He came back from his morning run not too long ago. Briella had heard him when he came back, that was when she headed to the kitchen to make breakfast while he freshened up for work.Kendrick stood in front of the kitchen door with his mouth hung open, shocked.
Briella descended the staircase in her white suit. She had held her hair in a tight ponytail. She had a meeting with one of her potential investors since Kendrick failed to keep to his promise she had to do it herself. She had written countless letters and proposals to the numerous airlines in Las Vegas, but to no avail.When she got a call from one of the airlines she sent her proposal to, she was ecstatic. She was tired of staying and doing nothing while her husband went to work and doing god-knows-what behind her." I hope you ace this," her cousin said through the phone." I hope for the best as well, I am tired of staying home. It's suffocating."" You got this, call me when you 're done with the meeting," Cerys bid her well as she entered the kitchen for a cup of coffee for the road." Thanks, babe,"She hadn't seen her husband this morning when she woke up and Aly wasn't giving her any proper information as to where he had gone.
Kendrick's mom had been with them for about two weeks and their charade was going on well even better than when she came. They had learned a lot about each other that they didn't know before." Enjoy your day at work today," Brie said to her husband as she helped him fix his tie." Thank you, I will. What are you doing today?" he asked pecking her on her lips. She had grown used to him casually pecking her on her lips even when they were having conversations and she was loving it. Who knows after her mother-in-law leaves things may go back to how they were before or even worse. She had to enjoy each and every moment while it lasted." I have a meeting with my board today, we are making headway with establishing another branch of our business here in Vegas," she replied. She knew he was supposed to put in his word for her but he's being reluctant." Oh, I forgot to ask. How did the meeting with the potential partner go?" he asked scratching his head
" Someone seems happy," Nexus said pecking Sage on her lips. She had been happy since she got home from Kendrick's office. She didn't care his mother had seen them, in fact, she was glad his mother had seen them. She had wanted to prove a point and she did so perfectly. She knew Kendrick still had a soft spot for her and she was going to use that against him until she got what she wanted.Typical Sage." Oh, I am, I am about to hit jackpot really soon." she smiled at him. Her actions seemed fishy but he didn't seem to care. He just needed a certain amount of money and then he was going to leave her sorry ass behind. She wasn't the type of woman he wanted. He just needed her to be where he wanted to be and she was really playing a good role in that.Pathetic fool!" Ma, what's happening? I thought you weren't leaving till the end of the month, what changed?" Briella asked as she noticed her mother-in-law pack her bags. She was done with h
“ Wait,” Briella said as Sage walked back to her. She didn’t want to say anything at first but on second thought she had to. He was her husband now and not a boy toy.“ Kendrick’s not home at the moment and I don’t remember inviting you in here, as if I would do what do you want?” Brie asked sipping her mocha seated in front of the house with one leg crossed over the other like the boss that she was. “ And why should I answer you?” Sage shot back.“ Because you are trespassing on my husband’s property with no authorization whatsoever, I have the right to question your movements in and out of my house,” she fired standing up to block her path. Sage tried to force her way inside the house as Brie poured the cup of mocha into
"Oh, I'd be back if I don't hear from you again dad. We had a deal and I have fulfilled my part of the deal, it's only right that you give to me what is rightfully mine. The deal was to get married to him and I did. You never mentioned child bearing before I got my share. It's either we settle this amicably or you hear from my lawyers. It's up to you to decide." Briella said walking towards the door. " Is that a threat?" her father asked making her stop in her tracks. " Oh no father dearest, it's a promise." she answered walking out. Anika had heard the foot steps of her Step-daughter and quickly run towards the nearest washroom closer to her husband's office before Briella got out. She had heard everything they were discussing about and there was no way she was allowing that happen. She needed to do everything in her will power to prevent Brie from getting that inheritance. Why was he finding it difficult to give her what rightfully belo
“… and you didn’t confront him? Instead you chose to give him the cold shoulder?” Padma asked Brie as they sat at her favorite restaurant in Los Angeles for dinner. They were having mashed potatoes, gravy and a juicy steak by the side. With their glasses filled with baileys. “ What’s the use of he’s going to deny it, come to think of it I think that’s why his mother left impromptu. She may have seen him cheating on me but decided to leave instead of being the one breaking the news,” she realized.“ He still has no justification to do that, she refused to marry him and you were forced into marrying him with your inheritance at stake. Forced marriages can be difficult at the beginning but it’s up to both of you to make this work,” Padma stated.“ Within those two weeks his mom was around we were fine, everything was going on well then after she left, it went back to how it was and now I understand why. As I said earlier, men don’t like being ignored and that’s my cue to win his love b
