Few moments passed, my feet dragged as I climbed onto the altar to meet the groom.

Shortly after, the wedding vows were made andi swore I heard my father heave a relief sigh when everything went perfectly well....

'If there's anyone here, who opposes to the union of these beautiful couple, speak now or forever hold your peace...' the priest declared

Apprehensively, everyone waited

Silence.

The priest repeated his statement again....

Still silence...

'I now join you as husband and wi...' the priest started to say. The words hung in his mouth when a female bursted into the room, approaching the altar while breathing annoyance.

'Gerald!! What do you think you're doing?' she bawled, removed her slipper and threw it towards the groom's direction.

My eyes widened in disbelief and I stared at the groom in amusement...'Who is she?'

'I swear. I don't know her' he denied, releasing his knotted tie.

I scoffed. 'Lying now wouldn't help matters.. just come clean' I mention, happy that

We should explore more. Try wild fantasies!' I yelped, slightly frustrated he's not giving in to his own desires. 'Life is short. We should live every moment to its fullest. And I want to spend some of those moments with you' I noticed the movement of his throat as he swallowed hard, the clenching and unclenching of his fists.

    Christian~ 'The board members called for an emergency meeting. We should go now' Ava informed me. I shrugged on my jacket and headed to the board room, wondering what exactly the members had to say at this point. They all stood up to acknowledge my presence, patiently waited for me to take a seat' before doing so.. Awkward silence ensued. 'Is nobody willing to talk? Why did you all call for an emergency board meeting?'. 'It's about the situation of the consortium, Mr. Forbes' the eldest among the members pronounced.. 'What about it?' 'There's been some talks going on in the company. The staff aren't comfortable with you as the leader especially with all that's going on in your family.

    I clenched softly her neck and my forehead pressed on hers. I did that to stop her from talking, because I knew the Vodka she skinked in one gulp took over her. It was a very strong drink and prolly giving it to her was a mistake. I tried regressing, but then the urge to plunge deeper took the better part of me. She didn’t restrain as well. Her hands were down, but then her eyes were closed. She gave me full access to her lips. Her lips felt so soft like butter and her breath had a tingling sensation that it hurled to my spine. My hands went slowly to her waist and immediately my dobber hardened, and it created a strong bulge in-between my thighs. It pushed hard to my pants. Our breathing became slow but slightly ragged. My hands rubbed slowly around her body and to her strawberry cream. Finally she placed her right hand on my face tenderly. Her touch came with an enamored sensation. The tension fired up, as I grabbed her green turtle neck gown, she wore since she came. Things became f

    Christian~ A buzz from my phone drew me out of my thoughts. It was from Lauren. A smile spread across my face when I noticed what the message entailed. 'It's really scary in here. You should have given me a heads up'. It read. 'Act like a boss that you are! If anyone gives you too much of an issue, you're very much allowed to fire him of her' I returned. '(⁠゜⁠o⁠゜⁠;(⁠゜⁠o⁠゜⁠;.

While loosing his tie, he checked what it was by the time and realized how much earlier he arrived home. It was still 5pm. He frowned disturbingly when he still didn’t see Molly after his announcement.‘I’m home’ he called again, thinking she was asleep. No response came. He yanked off his tie from his neck and he was in the basement in the twinkle of an eye. It was very noticeable to ignore. The basement was empty. There were no clothes in the tiny wardrobe, the extra duvet was no where to be seen. It dawned on him.. She’s gone. Has she gone mad? Does she not care about her father’s company any more?‘That isn’t possible’ he mumbled. That had been her weakness yet her strong hold.

    There are no real friendships, no true relationships, and even if the feelings somehow turn genuine, they're immediately muddled by the talks of business and incessant urges to tie the knot in marriage if the family is a favourable one. Only if the family is a favourable one. If it isn't then they do everything to ruin those feelings and create discord between the ones involved. It was a messy life filled with pretense, politics and numbers. It made me sick to the bones. My father has apparently disowned me because I have yet again disappointed him after he fixed a wedding for me without my knowledge. I found out at the last second and fled, causing a effect I didn't quite expect and I didn't regret either. Apparently, I underestimated the publicity of this particular event and it spread pretty quickly that the daughter of one of the most influential businessmen in the country ran away from her wedding. People were quick to point fingers at my father, accusing him of forcing his

  • A Mail

    Raising a kid isn't exactly easy, you know," she said. "We're not suffering yet, but we're struggling. I would very much like to walk away from her, give you the middle finger and pray you die in an accident on your way back, but I can't." I flinched as she said those words. I forgot that she was also quite emotionally violent when she wants to be. "Why not?" She chuckled at my question. "Weird. Normally, one would be happy when they realize that they can't be cursed to death." I shrugged. "I can't say that I don't deserve it. Sometimes I wish for the same thing too." She gave a surprised look before continuing. "We need help, and even though you are a heartless, devilish, godforsaken, rotten, disgusting piece of shit, you have the ability to help us. You are rich and we aren't. Raising my daughter has been the greatest joy of my life even with our current situation, so raising her in a comfortable environment where she would be happy promises to bring even better joy. Despite t

  • A Humble request

    The aroma of sizzling seafood pleasantly assaulted my nostrils as I looked around in search of the blonde beauty I came here for. I found her at the far corner of the restaurant sitting by a window wall and staring directly at me. I tensed up for a few seconds at the intensity of her stare but eventually relaxed as I walked towards her table. Even if I'm apologetic, I still have a reputation to uphold. I'm not gonna appear weak in front of her. "Hi, Donna," I flashed my best smile at her as I sat down on the seat opposite hers. "Hi," she said, her melodious voice filtering into my ears like a song. "It's...uh...nice to see you again," I said awkwardly. "I can't say the same, sorry," she shrugged. "I'd rather be with my child right now, or working." "Speaking of your child," I looked around her. "Where is.....your child?" "You don't know the gender, do you?" she asked and I shamefully looked away. I couldn't bring myself to answer that. "Well, she's okay, and happy where she is."

  • Meeting Donna

    AUDREY HEPBURN I calmly exited my room once I was done with my exaggerated preparations to meet Donna. The maids gave me an apprehensive look as I made my way down the stairs before bowing respectfully as they hurried past me to do their jobs. "Good morning, sir," they said before heading in multiple directions and focusing on their chores. Even then, I could feel the tension in the air caused by my presence. "Everyone's acting like I'm the first person to attempt a murder on planet earth," I thought as I rolled my eyes. "There's a woman literally being called the worst human in the country and they just wouldn't ignore my little transgression." "Good morning, Audrey my boy," a calm sonorously thin voice greeted from behind me and placed a small frail hand on my back. "You look good today." I turned around with a sigh of relief as the old but beautiful nanny Helen graced me with her beautiful smile. She's been my nanny ever since I can remember and devoted all of her life to raisi

  • Free but not free

    AUDREY HEPBURN The alarm clock blared in my ear causing me to slam it quiet with a groan. Rolling over on my bed, I let out a sigh. "I don't want to leave my room today." Just like every other day, I don't want to have to leave this room. I don't deserve to. My world has been turned upside down since that incident with Christian and sincerely, it's all my fault. I can't even blame it on anyone else. At the time, it seemed like the best course of action but now that I think about it, attempting to kill your step brother just because of a misunderstanding is quite extreme and malicious. Especially if it turns out that the woman you believed to be your mother was a lying bitch and you were infact biological brothers with the same step brother you tried to kill. That just brings it to a whole other level of terror. That was exactly what I did and now I feel like shit. For the most part of my life, I've always seen Christian as my step brother. I've always envied him, hated that he

    He was mocking me," I retorted. "Who in their right mind, would risk their reputation and business influence over a murderer's nobody daughter. For all I know, he might just be thinking of using me for some publicity stunt, and the last thing I need right now is more publicity." She sighed again. "From my standpoint, it seemed like he was genuinely trying to help. You were the one being difficult." I swallowed hard, the truth of her words hitting me but my obstinacy wouldn't let me succumb. 'I was trying to protect myself.' 'You've been so hard on yourself lately, Tiffany. Please, relax. Open up to someone who seems to understand more. He said nothing wrong' earlier, You turned his words against him and made it into something offensive." "Didn't you hear him yelling at me?" She let out yet another sigh. "It's hard to not be frustrated when the person you're trying to help isn't letting you help." "I don't need his help," I hissed. "I don't want anything to do with him." She let

  • Tiffany's adamancy

    I placed my hand in my pocket and slowly brought out my business card, then proceeded to carefully lay it on the table before backing away. "Call me when you've calmed down," I said as I headed out. "I'm sorry for the things I said." "Yeah, get out," she hissed. "And make sure to close the door behind you." With a heavy heart and a little anger at her reluctance to listen to or believe me, I closed the door behind, letting out a sigh before making my way to the car. My phone rang as I opened my car door and the caller ID was Courtney's, making me think twice about answering. I really am not in the mood for her requests and taunts. "What?" I asked as I reluctantly answered the call. "I assume it didn't go well?" "It's none of your business," I retorted. "What do you want, Courtney? I'm busy." "Well, first of all, stop using that tone with me," she warned. "Second, I think we can still find ways to help clear her name." "Nevermind that," I sighed as I got into the car. "She doe

  • You pity me?

    "Would it kill you to say thank you?" she rolled her eyes as she revved her car engine. "You know what, never mind. Thank me by funding my newest project. Surely that's easier for you than saying the words, right?" I ignored her as I adjusted my clothes and walked away from her car. I crossed the road swiftly and headed for the house with my head down, hoping that she doesn't recognise me before I approach her door. I knocked on the door, praying again that the door opens before she realizes that I'm the one. It seems like luck's on my side as she opened the door while looking behind her. "Delivery?" she asked, her eyes still focused on something behind her. "Hi, Tiff." She froze at the sound of my voice. She remained frozen for a few minutes, as if trying to convince herself that she hadn't just heard my voice. "I know you heard me," I added as the silence stretched longer. She slowly turned her head to look at me and immediately gasped. "Oh, hell no." She tried to close th
