ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.Winnie. Ares kept staring at me after I was done eating and I didn't know why.“Are you sleepy?” He finally asked me.“Not really, I just woke up after all and I don't even know how long I slept. I don't feel like going back to bed again”. I replied. I couldn't possibly be sleepy after just waking up from sleep except my drugs contain sedatives which I wasn't sure of.“So, what should we do then?” He asked me.“I really don't know. I can't think of anything at the moment”. I replied.I was really happy that Ares actually wanted to talk to me. He wanted to have a conversation with me. I thought really hard on what we could talk about but nothing came to my mind.I decided to ask a random question. It's kind of been on my mind throughout today.“By the way, you didn't go to work today? Why?” I asked him.“How would I have gone to work when my wife was in danger. You were kidnapped, Winnifred, by those stupid people who thought they could mess with me and get away w
A VISIT TO THE PRISON. Winnie.I wasn't sure I heard right. She refused my offer? I want to be sure I heard properly.“Why is that, Rose?” I asked her.“As much as the offer is tempting, I don't think I'll be able to work under the same roof as you ma'am. The guilt will be too much for me to bear.I know I'm the reason you were kidnapped in the first place and I'm really happy nothing happened to you.I'm really sorry for my rude behavior that fateful day. I really wasn't thinking straight. I can promise you I'm a changed person but I really can't accept it. I'm sorry ma'am”. She replied, probably crying now. Because she kept on sniffing.“To be honest Rose, I'm really surprised. Many people would have jumped at this opportunity but look at you, refusing it. I'm not mad at you though. I'm just really surprised like I said.Alright, I won't force you to take the job but at least let me show my appreciation. I'm happy to hear that you are now a changed person. Please keep it up. Being
SHE CARES.Winnie.I woke up the next morning and mum wasn't by my side anymore but Ares was. He was staring at me and it startled me for a few seconds.“Jeez, how long have you been staring at me like that? You scared me, you know. Wait a minute, you haven't been like that for long, right?” I asked him all at once the moment I recovered myself.He let out a deep throaty chuckle and I really liked the sound of that.“Calm down. I haven't been staring for too long. Just a couple of minutes and I didn't mean to scare you. You look really innocent while you sleep and I couldn't help staring”. He replied.“Ohh, alright then”. I smiled as I couldn't meet his gaze anymore.“By the way, where's mum? She's no longer by my side”. I asked him again.“Ohhh yeah I almost forgot. She's downstairs in the kitchen preparing something for you to eat so you can take your drugs”. He said, sitting up.“Alright, I thought she had gone without telling me." I responded, sighing a sigh of relief.“Silly me,
IN PRISON.Rose.My sister looked really terrible. She had bruises all over her body and one of her eyes was purple and was half closed.She was limping and also had a bandage around her head. What could have happened to her? Did the police do this to her? Or was it Ares?When she came close to me and sat down, I picked up the telephone and she reluctantly did the same.“How are you doing? No, that's a stupid question to ask. From the way you're looking, you're obviously not doing fine. Who did this to you sis?” I asked her instead, waiting for her reply. She just held the telephone to her ear but she wasn't saying anything.She couldn't maintain eye contact with me and I don't know why. She kept looking at me through the glass that separated us but she never looked me in the eye.“Was it Ares?” I asked her again. Immediately I mentioned Ares's name, she looked up with force at me, I wondered if her neck didn't hurt from that action and she shivered. It was almost unnoticeable as I a
BACK TO MY OLD SELF.Ares.Winnie was done eating and taking her drugs. I kept staring at her occasionally but I doubt she noticed it because she was so engrossed in the conversation she was having with the cook.I kept staring at her long legs and perky breasts through her tank top and it was really giving me a hard on. When I came into the room after she was done changing, I wanted to pounce on her and ravish her whole but, I really held myself.I kept telling myself that she was sick and needed to recover.Come to think of it, why do I constantly have the urge to make out with her? Why does just staring at her make me hard? Why am I becoming soft towards her?This wasn't the plan Ares. This wasn't the plan at all. You were just meant to marry her just to retain your CEO position and nothing more. You were not meant to change your attitude towards her or feel anything for her.No, I don't feel anything for her, I CAN'T feel anything for her. It's just because she's hurt, nothing mor
ANOTHER ARGUMENT. Winnie. I went to work the next day and resumed my duties. My staff had no idea what had happened to me and I was happy about that.They didn't need to know that. I'm back to my beautiful self now. My face was no longer swollen and my wrists and ankles no longer hurt.Mum was really making sure I took my medications and on time too. Ares on the other hand has been behaving weird.I didn't know when he got back from work last night and I also didn't know when he left for work this morning.It was as if he was trying to avoid me but I couldn't tell why. I hadn't done anything to upset him so why the sudden change of behavior.I would go and talk to him after work today.The day went really fast and very soon it was time to close. I left the bakery after making sure everything was locked and went into my waiting car.The driver took me to the villa and I noticed Ares's car was parked in the garage too meaning he was back.I went inside and freshened up then I changed
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?Winnie.I definitely wasn't expecting to see Judy, Ares's assistant, standing outside my room by this time of the night. What was he doing here? And why's he here?“Why are you here?” I asked him, after recovering from my shock a little.“Won't you at least let me in?” He asked.“Not until you answer my question”. I replied, with my hands across my breasts.“Alright, if you say so. I have to find a new secretary for Mr Ares and I didn't really do a good job with the previous one I found”. I noticed the way he bowed his head after making that statement.So, he was the one that found that lady that was part of Amelia's plan. But how did he make such a mistake? Isn't there a criteria for employment or something? Especially when it comes to Ares's secretary they should be thorough about who they employ, right?“Yeah, we all know you didn't but I don't know what that has got to do with me and you still haven't answered my question”. I told him again as I was beginning
SHE AGREED!!Judy.“Yeah, we all know you didn't do a great job with that but I don't know what that has got to do with me and you still haven't answered my question”. She told me again impatiently.Not wanting to annoy her, I decided to tell her my reason for showing up unannounced.“I was thinking if you could help me with the selection process this time around. You see, my boss would kill me if I mess it up this time around and I don't want to risk putting you or any other person in danger again.By the way, I'm sorry about what happened to you. It was all my fault, I was really careless. Please forgive me”. I added, with my head still bowed low.I was really sorry. I was even surprised Mr Ares gave me a second chance. How could I have made that type of silly mistake?She then ushered me into her room and gestured for me to sit down on one of the couches.“I really don't blame you for what happened, Judy. Yes, you were not thorough and hence that happened but it's not totally your
