Layla POV
I open my eyes to see Richard sitting beside me,, cradling my hand between his. His eyes are closed as he rests on the chair. I don’t know what time it is, but all I remember is the ambulance arriving and waking up here after Richard injected me with my EpiPen. Everything else is a little foggy.
I move on the bed, adjusting my body that aches from being in the same position without moving, and Richard opens his eyes, leaning towards me.”
“Are you okay?” Richard asks as he holds my hand, and I nod. I just have a slight headache right now, and I am tired, exhausted. I close my eyes, resting my head back on the pillow, when the door opens, and the doctor walks in, forcing me to keep my eyes open.
“Layla, how are you feeling?” He asks as he holds a tablet with the chart
Richard POV“You have got to be shitting me,” I burst through the door, walking ahead of Julien. He follows me close behind, closing the door behind him. My new secretary is not in yet. It’s the third time in one week that she’s late. This is unbelievable.“Where the fuck is she?” I walk to my desk, open my laptop and connect to HR so they can contact her.“Sonia, I need you to contact my secretary. She’s late again. While you’re at it, fire her,” I shout through the line. Sonia stays very quiet as she takes a deep breath.“Outbursts like that won’t solve your problem,” she says, and I end the call. I am not in the mood for this kind of shit. I need someone that can actually do the fucking job without skipping work or coming in late.
Richard POVAs I open my eyes, I feel like I should still be asleep. It’s still dark outside, and the room is completely silent. Layla sent the night away from me, and I hate it. I wish she would just move in here, but I know it’s too early in the relationship to ask her to do that. She is a very independent woman, and I don’t know if she would even consider it.I place both my feet on the floor and look at the table next to my bed. The clock shows 5:31 in the morning. Great. I could sleep another two hours, but my body decided nope. Not today. I think that a run will do me some good. I get my gym clothes ready, and as I walk out of my house I start running. There are no paparazzi at this time, I guess they all decided to have a night off.Running is like therapy to me, the music blasting in my ears as the blood pumps all over my body making my hea
Richard POV“Anya, I have class,” he barks at the girl, and I raise an eyebrow watching how he disrespects the girl.I shake my head, and he looks at me.“What is your problem?” He barks at me, and I ignore him. The last thing I need is to go to jail for sucker-punching a minor.“Hey, stay quiet,” Anya tells him, and he flips her. I take a deep breath crossing my arms in front of my chest when the door opens, and Pamela walks in, followed by Mia. She has a bruised eye, and I immediately stand up walking to Mia.“Who did this?” I ask, and she looks down at her feet, staying quiet as Pamela stands quietly next to my daughter. Whoever did this is going to regret the day they were fucking born. I will make sure the kid that did this will be expelled from this excuse of a school.“Richard, control
Layla POV“Hello,” I answer the phone as I see Mia’s name appear on the screen. I have been worried sick about her. The fact that Pamela is not letting Richard see Mia is breaking my heart. I know that he is suffering because of it, he doesn’t show it, but I know he is.“Layla, hi,” she says, and I smile as I look out of the bus window.“Hi, sweetheart, how are you?” I ask as I smile to the lady that just sat down next to me. I don’t usually get the bus, but the day is unseasonably warm, and I thought it would be better than the subway.“I am good, I am with Dad, and we are wondering if you would like to come for lunch with us?” She asks, and I feel my heart beating faster.“Of course,
Layla POVWhen we get in the car, Mia looks at me sideways, and then she frowns looking at Jo. I smile at her pulling her into my arms for a quick hug. She hugs me back, but I know her eyes are on Jo, that is smiling politely. Richard sits in the front with Nando while Mia leans forward and looks at Jo.“What happened?” Mia asks, and I take a deep breath.“Mia, this is my best friend in the entire world. This is Jo,” I say, and Mia gives a slight nod towards Jo that smiles back at Mia.“I’ve heard so much about you; it’s a pleasure to finally meet you,” Jo says, and Mia nods. She looks serious, and I understand, she was caught off guard and she wasn’t expecting this.“The ride to Richard’s home was quiet while Mia kept my hand on hers the
Richard POV“This is not a conversation I am having with you, Layla. I am having with Mia; now answer the question,” I shout at Mia, and she jumps. Mia opens her eyes, locking on me. I see fear in them once again, not the calm she had previously.“I need to go do something in my room,” Jo says in a way I don’t recognize. She is trying to get away from us. She excuses herself, leaving us alone. Layla looks at Mia while she looks back at me. I feel like they are conspiring against me.“I am not having sex, Dad, and I don’t want to talk about this with you,” Mia says as she stands up, throwing her napkin at the table. She quickly runs up the stairs.“Mia, get back here,” I shout, trying to stop her, but I don’t even know why I did it. She won’t stop, she won’t come back, she has lost t
Layla POVRichard slowly moves up my body placing small kisses up my stomach and towards my exposed breasts. I can’t help but moan as his tongue leaves a wet trail up my body, and when he finds my nipple, he brings one into his warm and wet mouth, sucking on it as if his life depended on it. His hand caressed my other one and pinched the free nipple, making me moan loudly in pain and pleasure.It’s been far too long since I have felt him inside of me. My insides are aching for him, and I am dripping in desire and anticipation. “I want you inside of me,” I whisper as he starts kissing my neck while he adjusts himself between my legs. I can feel his hard cock pressing against my entrance. Teasing me, driving me crazy with desire.“Patience is a virtue,” he whispers, and I can’t help but shake my head as I scratch his back with
Richard POV“Oh my God, you’re okay” Pamela says to Mia, and I swear to God I am going to destroy her; she will regret the fucking day she was born. The cops start pushing me to the elevator, but Mia stops them.“Mom? What is happening? Let go of my Dad”, Mia shouts at the cops, and they stop walking. They look confused. Good.“Miss, are you okay? Have you been hurt?” The detective asks, and I can tell Layla is confused; her hands are shaking, and her eyes are watery.“Of course, she is not,” Pamela says, and I close my hands into fists, but the cuffs cut my circulation. Fuck this is uncomfortable. Mia takes another step away from Pamela.“I am okay. Why are you arresting my dad?” Mia asks, “he has done nothing wrong, and why are you here?” Mia asks, looking at her mother.
