NATASHA. We were at Xavier's house. Actually, I and Cara have been meeting there for the past one week. He suddenly went MIA and we would sit at his couch, hoping he would show up. “ He's still no where to be found, Cara. Don't you think we have to report to the police?” To conquer my enemy, I have teamed up with my enemy's sister. Things we all do for revenge. I don't trust her fully, but she doesn't give me reason to suspect her either. Her relationship with Xavier might go way far back. The two seem pretty close but not in the positive sense. They're like two blades. Cara might be working with Xavier just to rid herself of a burden. “ We can't call the police. Not when you are reporting a Xavier McKinney.” Why? Was he hiding something? Or maybe he's a notorious criminal who is being wanted by the cops? " Why?" I asked the very calm and poised young lady. She's not that young. We are both twenty-four, and I learnt that Madelyn is her older sister. To think I have been referr
My eyes met this sea rover-blue eyes. Deepset and darted constantly. Eyes so bright and spellbinding as lode stars, I found myself drowning in it. Now, when my mother set me up with a guy I barely knew, I had expected him to be some ugly dude with a face only his mother could love. I didn't expect him to turn out this smoking hot!! If I hadn't known my mother to have a soft spot for business men and CEOs, I'd have sworn on my father's grave that Theodore was a model. “ Natasha? Hello?” he snapped those majestic, long fingers in my face and I jerked up. How long have I been staring? Long enough to notice every little detail of him. The rich black hair which he groomed so carefully, his crescent-of- moon eyebrows were thin and narrow, down to the aquiline nose which complemented his prominent cheekbones carved down towards a flinty jaw. His silky, luscious lips might as well taste as scrumptious as they looked. His solid shoulders spoke of strength. I h
Hi lovelies, The Koreans and Asians who read the last chapter, how did I do? I hope I didn't get those meals mixed up? I guess I didn't do bad for someone who isn't Korean. Anyways, let me know what you think under this note. A shout-out to Patience Michael. I see you. Keep the gems coming. Also, shout-outs to each and every amazing reader who has been following up. I hope you enjoy reading this book as I enjoy writing it. I can't find your comments, but I would definitely see the ones you drop under this note. Keep reading, commenting and keep gifting gems. With love, Zee..
JASON Madelyn insisted I wait downstairs while she got ready. An evening date where we got the chance to dress normal and act normal. I didn't have to be in a suit and tie, and we didn't have to be cautious of how we acted. It was just us. In a lovely Korean restaurant, enjoying the evening's warmth. “ I'm ready.” she announced as she descended the stairs with a large smile on her face. “ Oh my..”My gaze swept her body, noticing how the dress accentuated her curves, and watching her thighs and those long legs through the slit in the gown. “ I look gorgeous, right?” she teased as she did a spin for me. “ Gorgeous ain't even the right word to describe this, my lady. Shall we?” Arm in arm, I led her out. The kids were upstairs with their grandma, probably reading stories or stuffing their mouths with candies. She loved to spoil them. The small but cozy restaurant was one of the best in the city. The tables were arranged sl
MADELYN [Warning: This novel is R-18. A little reminder in case you missed it. Content unsuitable for young readers.] When I rose up at night, Jason was gone. I'm not a deep sleeper except I'm really tired, so how did I not hear him get out of bed. Climbed out of bed and got my slippers on. He wasn't sitting at the desk which he usually did a couple times. I would wake up at night and find him working on his computer, most times into the early morning before he would retire to bed. I didn't hear the water run, there's only one place he would be. Jason was nursing a cup of coffee. The look on his face wasn't readable and I couldn't figure out why my husband was pacing about our kitchen when we were supposed to be asleep. “Jason, you are not sleeping..” I don't even know if that was supposed to come out as a question or not, but I wasn't concerned. He lift his eyes to mine and gave a dark grin, “ I'm fine Madelyn, you should probably get back to bed. I'll be with
JASON For the past two weeks, Madelyn and I have been more closer. It wasn't just the sex, but there was this tiny spark in her eyes which made me feel maybe someday she would love me in return. The time I spend at the office has also reduced. There was no use staring at the computer screen for several hours trying to be productive, when all that's in my head is an image of Madelyn smiling widely at me. It was hard to get her off my mind, and now even harder with the huge frame of one of the many photos of her that I loved, hung on the wall. Every few seconds during work, my eyes would dart to the picture on the wall. Mine. The woman I love. “ So we have to make use of this once-in-a- lifetime opportunity, people. We can have goods for G distributed to everywhere in the world if we..” Barely thirty minutes in the conference room and I was bored as hell already. My attention drifted away from Natalie and everyone else in the room as I brought out my mobile
NATASHA It's 12pm and I'm waiting. Waiting for Jason to come over and supposedly discuss the fake business idea I had come up with. For our meeting this time, I choose the Korean restaurant Theodore had taken me to, the one where I ran into Madelyn and Jason. He cancelled two meetings already and I'm beginning to think he just might cancel this one too. " Should I get you something to drink while you wait?" One of the waiters had taken it upon himself to constantly ask if I needed anything or not. Others would say he's just doing his job, or he is trying to be polite, but I think differently. “ Are you flirting with me?” My voice was loud enough for everyone to hear. Yes, I am going to cause a scene if he doesn't take those hazelnut eyes off my cleavages. “ I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to..”The usual line. I didn't mean to sound offensive? The pervert was still leering at me, making my blood simmer with wrath. I only find flirting less offen
NATASHA Liliana is not the first to say that to my face, neither would she be last. Everyone, even those in my company and neighborhood goes about saying the same thing. An illegitimate heir who only fought her way up to fame and power. My dad never included me in his will. He never saw me as his child to begin with. Mr. Caspian wasn't the best dad either, whether I was his child or not. If I hadn't been forced to make a positive speech about him at his funeral, I'd have let all who were present to mourn the heartless man know how cruel he was. He was better dead than alive. I shook with rage as I threw the files off the table. There was nothing here. Nothing at all to finally prove Lilly right. To prove that I am not a Caspian. “ God, where is it?? Where is the damn file?” My late dad's room was a mess. Files I had gone through were lying around, and I made quite a mess of it. Since dad's death, mom hasn't stepped in here. Or maybe I have never seen her
