CHAPTER 46 Kal's POV"You can't tell me that you had an affair with that lady!" My father spat out as he paced about the living room. Sighing, I rub my forehead. "Father, I told you this last night. I thought you were aware?" My father stops walking at stares at me full on. He's extremely furious that I hadn't used the opportunity to take advantage of Jemmah. It doesn't always work that way. Knowing my father, I know he would have grabbed onto that opportunity if he had been aware. It's different for me. Last night, the news shocked me to the marrow. I was hurt that she had been lying to me the whole time even after the time we spent together. I guess I don't matter that much. Achilles is standing behind one of the couches and my mother seems to be walking around the house and my father follows her movement all the time. Now, she's picking up a candle holder from the middle of the room and somehow, my father has stopped pacing and begins to watch her. "Cara, if yo
CHAPTER 47 Taleela's POV I find it amusing watching Susan walk around my apartment. She is filled with awe as she stares at the jacuzzi around the adjoining room. I am standing behind her, holding a glass of wine. "Let's go take a seat, Susan," I finally say, still feeling edgy. I need to talk to Susan about something that will definitely have her fainting and regaining consciousness all over again. "I need to talk to you about something." Susan, turning immediately, nods and follows me back to the living room. We sit beside each other, and I still feel that tension in her body. I know it's because of everything she's seeing right now. Yeah, I can tell that she is still processing everything. I recall when she had just stepped into my apartment. All of the lights were off save for the lights from the balcony's chandeliers that poured in, giving the room an incredible feel. Susan immediately walked towards my balcony, crying in delight at how beautiful it looked. Merely mo
CHAPTER 48 Taleela's POV; I sigh, deciding to give him a call instead. If he wants to see me, it should be at my office. This time, we're taking things to an official level, and as the CEO of BSL, he'll meet me at my office. Kal picks at the second ring, and I hear a male voice speaking in the background. After a few moments, a door shuts, and he says. "Hey, Jemma!" "You sent a text about needing to see me," I begin, emphasizing 'needing.' Meaning it might be something urgent. "Yes, I did," he replies. "We need to talk, " "About what?" I ask, walking into my room. Kal sighs. "That's the reason I sent that text. Stop sounding so professional. We're way past that." I laugh. "No, we aren't. This is just the beginning, baby steps." "Stop it, Jemmah. I know you're the CEO of BSL, but that doesn't change what we had in the past, does it?" I contemplate for a while, weighing the sentences. "I am not sure about that." "Stop being difficult." Deciding
CHAPTER 49 Taleela's POV;"Ma'am, it looks like a couple of reporters are going to disturb your entrance," the driver says as soon as we get to the front of my office building. Looking out of the car's double-tinted windows, I notice that he's actually correct. I shut my eyes in frustration. Why did Nikolai not attend to this? Picking up my phone, I decide to give Nikolai a call. He picks up. I don't even wait for him to speak. "Why didn't you inform me that there would be reporters? Why have they not been taken care of?" "I'm really sorry, Jemmah. I did that for a reason. Tell the driver to drive towards the employee's parking lot." "Okay," I reply and hang up. I inform the driver of the new development, and he immediately follows my instructions, reversing as he trafficates to the left. Thankfully, the reporters can't see me from the double-tinted windows or even recognize my car because they're too absorbed, expecting me to make an appearance. The employee's parking
Kal's POVEarlier, she had sent one of the secretaries to bring me to her office. I have an idea that the lady recognizes me, but I pay her no attention as she stutters while talking to me. I give her a curt smile once we get to the door leading into the CEO's office. As soon as she's out of sight, I knock twice on the mahogany door."Come in," a familiar voice, muffled, calls back.Twisting the knob, I push the door open and look around her office while walking in.Hmm. Impressive.The whole situation is quite awkward. Seeing Jemmah this way — all dressed up and looking like a boss lady is truly a weird sight.No, I am in no way intimidated by her riches. Heck, I have lots of that. It's nothing to me. Her newfound fame doesn't move me in any way. Instead, I am only trying to get over the shock of finding out that she's the CEO of BSL.Jemmah is seated behind a wide glass desk, and her eyes are trained on me. Her beautiful hazel orbs never cease to mesmerize me. This time, her eyes lo
CHAPTER 51 Susan's POV; Honestly, I have never felt this happy in a very long time. As soon as I returned to Achilles' home, I yelled his name and Tarantino's. In seconds, Achilles is stepping out of his room. He opens his arms, and I run to it, squealing in happiness. "Today was amazing!" I cry. Achilles laughs fondly and wraps his arms around me. He smells of lemons and something yummy. "I'm happy for you, baby," Pulling away from his hold, I pout my lips. "The only thing is I'll be working from home and trying to balance school with it." Achilles guides me to a seat. We both take a seat. His hand comes up to my face and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. "Look, baby. You're going to be able to balance it. I know it's going to be quite hard and all, but I am rooting for you. I mean, you get to stop working as a stripper in that bar." I gasp when I see him make a face. Sitting up, I narrow my eyes at him. "So, you disapprove of me working as a stripper?" A
Bells POV.At my request, the computer plays us a track from my RnB playlist. The lyrics are so sinful, but that's the mood I am aiming to create. I run my hand, which is still holding the dick clamp, up and down the bulge of Karanos's dick, and he moans softly, closing his eyes for a bit. My other hand caresses his chest through his shirt as my fingers work their way to peel off his buttons, possibly two at a time, and before I know it, Karanos helps me take off his shirt completely. He pulls me deeper into him and kisses me, grabbing my butt."Mhm, wait, Kal," I say, causing him to break the kiss."Yeah, what's wrong?" He holds me by my shoulders and stares into my eyes."Kal, though it’s not our first kinky sex, I feel the need to establish some basic rules. It is essential that we discuss our boundaries and limits as well as ensure that there’s enthusiastic consent around the clock."“I’m totally up for anything,” Kal assures me, kissing me again, but I pull out again."I know yo
Taleela's POV"Girl!" Susan cries, barging into my office as I work on my computer. I immediately look up from the monitor, wondering why she's barging into my office, all excited. "What's up?" I ask, leaning back against my swivel chair as I leave my fingers on the keyboard, ready to type any moment. Susan glares at me and drops into one of the chairs in front of my desk. "You and Karanos? You didn't even tell me." Tilting my head, I chuckle. "I was planning to, Susan. I've just been swamped." "When did he pop the will-you-be-my-girlfriend question?" Susan asks, Wiggling her brows. "Last night?" I ask in return. "You sure wouldn't expect me to call you when you're asleep by two in the morning." "I wasn't," Susan said. "I was awake." Now, it's my turn to wiggle my brows. "Oh?" Susan blushes beet and nods. "Why didn't you call me by then?" "Before I tell you how it went down, tell me why you were awake by two in the morning. Achilles time, hm?" "Well, some
