Arabella moaned as she straddled him, she didn't want to pull out yet but if they didn't do that now, it might be too late to stop later. Stephen released her and she rested her head on his chest, trying to catch her breathing, she tried to stand up but Stephen didn't move his hand from her back, restraining her. She moved her hands to her back to remove his but he ordered "Don't" She stopped trying as she heard his words. Stephen had his eyes closed and they both became silent for a while. Arabella now had her head laying on his chest, her legs trapped between his. They stayed like that for several minutes before he finally released her. Arabella sat down upright, she used her right hand to move her hair covering her face to the back. She insinuated the kiss and right now she didn't know what to do. Stephen cleared his throat and stood up, he picked the first aid box from the table and returned it to the closet where he always kept it, he turned around again and saw her still si

"Sofia? again? we are still on that?" Axel appeared calm as he questioned his father, while his insides were in utter rage. Taking a heave of sigh, Vince said out loud "I don't seem to understand why you don't like Sofia, she is beautiful, brilliant, talented, has everything a man would want in a woman, and she also comes from a wealthy family which is on par to yours, you deserve someone with the same status as yours, not the lady you had brought before who is beyond lower than you in every aspect, and she is even an actress, women under the entertainment industry always have shady..." "Father!" Axel said out loud in anger, he didn't like what his father was uttering, had it been it was someone else that said something like this, Axel wouldn't waste time showing the person his or her right place. But this was his father. Vince became silent for a while, Axel pressed his palms tightly "I'm only saying this for you and your future, find a capable woman to stand by you..." "What the

COUNTRY A** Axel sat down in the meeting room alongside other executives of Imperial and Gold Fox as they discussed the upcoming end-of-year celebration. Axel had an air pod on the right side of his ear as he watched a video on his tablet, it was the video of the restaurant Mirabel went to, he stared at the screen for a long time while Marcel stood beside him. "My department and I, with the others who are holding the responsibility of preparing everything for the celebration concluded on an issue. We decided that rather than..." The man who was on his feet talking suddenly stopped with his gaze on their boss. Axel looked up "Why did you stop?" he asked, although he was watching something and his attention was divided, he was still listening to every single thing they were talking about from start. Seeing that their boss seemed to still be listening, the man continued "We concluded to have it at a hotel so that guests who would be coming far away would have a place to lodge" he ex

Charlotte momentarily became silent when she heard the voice scolding her and she didn't know how to explain. She has no excuse for coming late. Her gaze narrowed at Troy before she immediately bowed her head "I'm sorry, sir" she apologized but it appeared Troy was hell-bent on not letting it go easily. "There are others in here that you kept waiting for you," he said, and without looking up, Charlotte seethed her tongue. "I'm sorry everyone for keeping you all waiting for me" After she said that, Troy went on with the conversation he was having with the others. "So for Gold Fox's third anniversary which is scheduled to take place next month..." Charlotte looked up as she heard him continue his conversation, diverting the eyes from her. She glanced around the room in search of an empty seat but she didn't find any, the only one she saw was the one beside the head chair, where Troy was. She didn't know whether to go pick it up, but if she does that, then it would attract everyone t

Charlotte drove her car into the hotel parking lot, after parking it at the right spot she came down from the car, only to receive a call once again. Without checking the caller ID this time around she angrily brought the phone to her ear "Father, I don't understand why you keep on calling me when I already told you I'll call when I'm less busy. I don't know what brought about the sudden change of mind that made you say you want me back home to complete the family, but I'm not that stupid to believe so easily after all you've done, not just to me, but also to mother while she was alive. People do not just change overnight, I don't believe the idea that it happens." she didn't stop to take a breath as she poured out all the emotions she was feeling into the call, hoping her message reaches him well. She was tired of him, tired of the type of family she grew up in, without her mother, rather with a woman who claims to care for her but still spouts rubbish even to her face. "Charlotte?
