“Stop it! You're toxic!” I yelled angrily at him. He smirked stubbornly and moved closer, barely an inch away from me. I took in his fragrance and it had already registered in my brain. “You know, it's about time you stopped pretending and come to terms with yourself that you love me, huh?” His husky voice aroused a tingling sensation in between my legs. 'No!’ I berated myself. I shouldn't feel that way for my boss. He is my boss for crying out loud and not my boyfriend. I've got to put myself together. “And who told you that I've ever loved you? Are you having some brainwashing illusions?” I maintained a steady gaze at him. “I didn't need to be told. And after I kiss you this once, you'll tell me better!” His hands cupped my face and I found myself responding to his touch. He pierced his eyes onto mine and without a hint, leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on my lips. “You like it, huh?” He didn't wait for me to answer before he buried my lips in his and kissed me with more v
Bernard's POVEver since the first day we met, my heart yearned continually for her. I had the gut feeling that she was mine and we would end up getting married. I thought she felt the same way about me, until her boyfriend came into the picture.I can’t stand and watch what I want being claimed by another person. I tried hard to make use of my position in the office to molest her, but it didn't seem to work. The harder I tried, the more evil thoughts haunted me.The day she was about to leave the office, I felt pangs in my heart. She had always accused me of fantasizing about having sex with her, but I rebuffed it, but deep down, that's exactly what I earnestly yearn for. I couldn't hold myself anymore after she rejected the ride I offered, so I decided to follow her all the way home. I waited patiently till she came out, looking all gorgeous and stunning. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by her flawless beauty.Things flared up and she tossed all those items I bought for her out o
Alice's POV “Where is he?” I yelled at Stephanie, who seemed unfazed by my actions. “C'mon, I don't know what you're talking about,” she answered with a confused expression on her face. “My boyfriend, where is he?” “You mean the CEO guy you met? I have totally no idea. I bet you should know better.” she sneered. “You think this pretence would help you, huh? Where did you hide him?” I paced to and fro, hoping to find a glimpse of him in the room. “And why are you acting all strange? I don't know where your boyfriend is. Is that too hard for you to understand?” “You should know, Stephanie! You should! Don't tell me he doesn't visit here regularly!” “Don’t be silly! I haven't seen him for the past two weeks.” “You can't be serious,then!” “But I am!” Her tone stepped up a bit. “I know you love him so much, but you've just got to calm down a bit. I had no idea he was missing in the first place.” I took a deep sigh and crossed my arms on my chest, while still pacing ba
“What?! So you could do this to me? You are the one behind his kidnap, huh?” I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist tightly, posing it at him like I was ready for a fight.He stared at me for a while and laughed, returning his gaze to his desk.“I'm talking to you!” I blinked frantically. “Don't you dare ignore me!” I threatened, banging my clenched fist on his table.“You haven't been served your second punishment yet. Hope you do remember?” A silly grin passed across his lips.“I don't care! Are you guilty or not?” I flared up angrily, my veins popping out of my throat.“C'mon, don't let me coerce you into that. You've got to care. And I am guilty, do you worst!” He challenged, squinting his eyes before he looked away.I never knew he would react this way; plain and straightforward. He didn't mince words to prove his guiltiness. He didn't bother the risk of our conversation being secretly recorded. That was the height of it.“Oh wow! Just wow!” I batted my eyelids in disbelief. “Yo
I could hardly wait for dismissal time to go meet Becky and ask her about what transpired between Mr Bernard and the people he was supposed to meet. I made sure I completed all I was supposed to do for the day and at the exact closure time, I dashed out of my office to Becky's.“Hey girl!” I greeted, walking towards where she sat.She raised her gaze from the papers she worked on to meet mine. “Hi, what's up? Why are you in a hurry to leave your office?” She teased in a jocular tone.“C'mon, the monster has gone! You shouldn't expect me not to be excited,” I giggled, in a cheerfully mood “Silly girl!” She sneered.We laughed it out loudly, not minding the people that lurked around.“So tell me, what happened between him and the men?” I began, as soon as we quieted.“Oh! I should be the one asking first. Why are you always in his office? Is there something you're not telling me?” She cast a suspicious glance at me.“But I asked first, you go first.” I wasn't willing to succumb.“Do y
Bernard's POVI felt an inauspicious omen when Becky barged into Alice and I in my office, to announce that I was being called by some strange anonymous men. I knew instinctively that it wasn't going to be any regular client or business associates. From the way things sounded, it was more like a higher authority, some kind that I needed to be subject to.I hesitated for a while, wondering why they had refused to disclose their identity. It brooded ill.'Could they be serial killers or anything of the sort?’ I pondered, realizing the possibility of being killed or detained.Luckily for Alice, it was yet another chance to escape from the lingering punishment she'd got to serve. I also deemed it necessary to remind her that I haven't forgotten about it yet.I headed to the reception room, where the men were supposedly waiting patiently for me, only to find out that they were policemen.My heart melted at the sight of them. With every step I took, my anxiety heightened. ‘What could be go
Alice's POV A satisfied grin played at the corners of my lips while I headed home in a cab. I couldn't help but rejoice at how I ended up winning at the end of the day. Mum had always told me not to let the fear of losing take away the joy of winning. So it was for me, all thanks to Stephanie for all standing by me. I could hardly get home before I put a call across to Charles. It rang for a couple of minutes, but there was no response. I felt a fresh wave of anxiety course through my veins. 'Why can't he just pick my calls? Did the Officer tell me a lie or something? Could it be that monster trying to act silly? Eerie thoughts flooded through my mind. I then decided to call Stephanie instead. Perhaps she might have an idea. “You've seen him, right?” She asked eagerly, as soon as she picked up the phone. “No… I haven't gone to his place yet.” “Put a call across to him then,” “He isn't picking up. What should I do?” Stephanie heaved a distressed sigh. “But they said
I turned my face impulsively to meet those of the man that addressed me, and quivered in great fear. He looked mean and starwart, and was putting on a black hoodie that did well to conceal most of his face. His companion, who snatched my bag earlier, was likewise putting on a black hoodie, stopped by the alley and stood, watching as the other confronted me.“Let me be!” I yelled, struggling to wriggle free from his tight grip.“Don’t you dare make a noise! Else I'd blow off your fucking skulls!” He threatened, taking menacing steps towards me.My heartbeat doubled. My breathing is escalating. I knew instinctively that what stood between me and death was just a sound, so I dared not to make one.He drew closer to me, so that I could feel his warm breath and in a cold but threatening voice.“Listen, a pretty lady like you shouldn't be seen alone in the streets at night, unless you are a lady of the night.” He paused and breathed, irritatingly. “And I don't care if you're one or not, bu
