They stood still in their position, breaths fanning each other’s faces, and Payton breathing heavily before she finally cautioned herself and pushed the man away.“Move the fuck away from me!” She hissed and crossed her arms around her chest.“Why? Are you shy?” King chuckled mischievously and she exhaled.“You are so delusional!” She sizzled again.“How?”“Are you not? You are so delusional to think I am jealous or anything. Do I look like I care about the women you keep?”“Yes, you do,” he nodded his head.“Screw you for thinking that way then,” she rolled her eyes and turned to return to her food but he grabbed her wrist again.“What is it?!”“You… you are all flustered. Are you feeling venereal pressure or something of the sort?” He asked and Payton widened her eyes.Why does he not know how to filter his words?!“Excuse you?” “Unless you want to lie to yourself, you would deny that you do not feel something for me… sexually especially.”“Why do you always assume that everything
Sasha leaned back and looked out of the window for the umpteenth before she grabbed her phone from the car’s dashboard and browsed through her contact list.As she clicked on the number she wanted to call, she heard the honk beside her then turned to look at the car that pulled beside her call and then dropped the call.The man came out of the car, walked over to her car; knocked on the window and she opened the door for him.“Took you so long!” She snapped and then looked around.“There was traffic,” the man snorted and then scratched the big scar that started from under his left eye to his chin.“So now you lie?” Sasha hissed.“At least, I’m here now.”Sasha swallowed and leaned back. This was the usual place she had always met this man as it was very secluded and little or almost no people passed there.She twitched her lips upward and sighed. “What is the job?” He asked her.A year ago, she had met this man.He was a leader of a gang organization and he was good at everything th
“Excuse me?” Sasha drew her brows together and moved over to Dariel who was already seated on the chair.“Why? Am I wrong?” Dariel tilted his head.“D… did you just call me… King’s mistress?” Sasha asked with a shaky voice and a frowning face.Dariel smiled softly and clasped his hands together. “Are you not?”“You of all people should not call me that! No, you should not have dared to. You know me very well! I am King’s woman. I am his woman. It is me. Only me. So, what the fuck are you thinking by calling me his mistress?”“But… you are the other woman, so what does that make you? Whoever marries the man is the winner and Payton is. You are just the other woman.”Sasha knew that Dariel had never liked her.She never liked him either!Maybe it was because King suddenly brought her from ‘nowhere’ according to him, no. Or because she had no background… that she does not know.All she knew was that Dariel had never liked her and he never hid that fact.But… no matter how much he hated
As Payton entered the staffs’ office and saw them grouped together, talking, she tilted her head, rested her hands on her waist, and then stared at them.“Should they not be working?” She thought inwardly.“Is this real? Madam will go berserk if she sees this” When she heard one of them say with a short laugh, she moved over to them.“I see y’all are having the fun of your life,” she said and watched as they dispersed hurriedly.“Ma’am,” one of them hid the phone behind her.“I would love to see that fun thing you were watching that made you lose focus on your work,” she said as she peeped the woman’s back.“I… it’s nothing, ma’am.”“Why? You don’t want me to see that thing that would make me ‘go berserk’?” She asked.“M… ma’am.”“Let me see.”Grudgingly, she moved over to her and then handed over the phone to her.Payton stared at the article that they were seeing and then squinted her brows.That was…?Her husband?!“BILLION DOLLAR TYCOON SPOTTED OPENLY SHOWING OFF HIS NEW RELATIONS
Payton stared at the company from where she sat in her car and then exhaled.“Why are they everywhere?” She asked no one in particular.Because she had parked her car in the gallery’s basement in the morning, it was easy to slip out without the reporters being aware.But now that she was in front of King’s company, she knew that there was no way they would not bombard her if she got down now.Still, she decided that she was getting down and would not return to her company without seeing the man.How dare he not pick up her calls?He had caused this mess and she needed him to clear it up but he would not pick up her call?She turned off the engine of the car and then got down gently.She held her bag tightly in her hand and then walked to the crowd and immediately they sighted her, they rushed to her.Fortunately, the guards who were at the entrance saw and recognized her, so they hurried to her and then guarded her in.“Thank you,” she said to them with a smile and then walked in, ign
King chuckled, wiped his thumb against his lower lips, and then settled in his chair comfortably.He thought he had had enough of his wife.No, he thought there was nothing she could do or say that would amuse him, but he was wrong.“You are insane, Payton!” He chuckled darkly.“I can say the same for you, King.”“What?” King snapped his brows together and sat upright.“Enough of your games. You should end your relationship with Sasha,” she repeated and he stood up.“Are you kidding?!” He widened his eyes.He was not surprised that she kept talking but that she had the guts to ask that of him.“You will…”“You are asking me to end my relationship with a woman I’ve been with for over two years.”“If I could end my relationship of over two years because of this goddamn marriage, then you should be ready to make sacrifices too!” She retorted angrily.King moved away from his seat and then walked gently to her.“And why should I care about that?”“It should be fair, should it not? You sho
“Mum! What are you saying?!” King hollered.“You heard me loud and clear. Get ready for a honeymoon. I’ll be sponsoring it. Come to think of it, I have never given you a proper gift.”King imagined the smile on his mother’s face and then shook his head.“We don’t…” they were both saying when the call ended and the room fell into a bit of silence.“It is your fault, you know that?!” Payton broke the silence.“What? Mine? How? Did you see me make a call to her to tell her that?”“Do you need to do that? She must have seen the article!” Payton sizzled and King pressed his lips together.What was his mother thinking?She was not the type to meddle in his business this way so what is with the sudden change?“You better find a way to tell her that…”“What? Are you not her favorite person? I remember her saying that you are a wonderful person and you are her favorite too. So? Can’t you talk to your favorite person in the world to change her mind?” King frowned.“I’ve never met anyone as pett
King and Payton got out of the car and then dashed to the big door of the house and when they got there, the door opened, and they adjusted their clothes before they entered.The laughter from Dariel and his mother threw them off guard and they both turned to look at each other to wonder what was funny.“Mum?” King called out as he walked slowly to where the two sat.His mum was on the couch while Dariel sat closely beside her as they both stared at his phone.“Ah! Thank God how two are here,” she finally raised her head to look at them.“Dariel was just telling me. You guys should have talked sooner if you wanted a honeymoon that much,” she said.“W… what?” King widened his eyes.“And, if you wanted a honeymoon, could you not have planned it? It’s not like it is too much or something,” she hissed as she returned her eyes to the screen.“What did Dariel tell you, Mum?” King asked.“What do you mean? I only told her how you told me that you would love to go on a honeymoon so bad with y
