Elena had been enjoying a quiet Saturday afternoon at Danny’s home. Not she loved staying at Danny’s. He had compelled her to come over.She was lost in the pages of a novel that offered her an escape from the annoying life she was living. The soft murmur of the air conditioner and the distant chirping of birds outside were the only sounds that filled the cozy apartment. Happy that the devil of Danny had left the house earlier. She was free to fantasize about she and Henry. And of course she took the job but didn’t mention to Danny that her now boss was Henry.The doorbell shattered the quietness, jolting Elena out of her literary world. She hesitated, wondering who could be visiting unannounced on a weekend. Danny didn’t tell her that someone was coming.Setting her book aside, she moved towards the door and opened it to find Claire standing there, her usually bright eyes clouded with unease. What was she doing here? She wondered. Who even told her she was here?."Elena, can we talk
The week began on a good note for Elena. Danny had apologized a lot of times. Buying her expensive bags and shoes. Elena accepted them meanwhile having her plans in check.She walked into the office, wearing one of those clothes, Danny had bought for him. While others gushed at her clothes, she kept peering her head towards Henry’s office. He had not come out of his office, since he walked in.“Elena your dress is so beautiful” Shelly, a colleague gushed at her dress.“Oh thank you” she smiled and continued looking at Henry’s office door.“Where did you get it? and how much” she quizzed Elena. Elena blinked. Irritation stapled on her eyelids. She was tired of the incessant questions. She wanted Shelly to let her be. And she couldn’t find anyway of saying this without sounding rude. So she smiled at her.“It was a gift”. She parked the papers on get desk. “ I need to work on this” she muttered. Hoping Shelly would pick that as her cue to leave. Shelly stated at the clothes smiling.“I
When Henry drove into the house, he last thing he expected to see was Marissa, that friend of Ruby kicking the ball. It was like she was so good with the ball. Henry turned off the ignition of the car and immediately walked to the field. Just then the ball swayed to where he stood. He kicked the ball and when Marissa saw him, she blushed red.“I’m sorry I didn’t—” she began.“You didn’t what? And by the way what are you sorry for” he smiled at her.Marissa pointed towards the house.” I think I should get back inside” she laughed nervously.“Come on, I just got here. Play with you me” he kicked the ball and it landed at her feet.“ Nah I —” “Unless you are a chicken” Henry smirked.“No I’m definitely not” Marissa laughed nervously.“Okay you can go. I guess you are not confident enough in those skills of yours” he said looking away.Marissa’s laugh turned to a scoff. “Mr. Henry I am everything and confident” “It’s just Henry” he squinted at his watch. “ Then why are you running a
If there was something Ruby thought she had knew about Marissa, she was wrong. A lot had changed since the last time they were together. Marissa was no longer that softie, who cried at every injustice. The poor girl had learnt to stand up for herself. With this attitude, Marissa was now known as the sly one. She was like snake. She watched her prey quietly and attacked when they least expected it. And that was she planned to do with Henry. She was not one bit deterred by Ruby’s words. She knew her secret and as long as Ruby was not yet ready to die, she would do little to nothing to stop her plans with henry. Now Marissa being the sly demon, that she was, she didn’t go all out to show Ruby she wasn’t going to do anything she wanted, rather she did the opposite.She put up a front of avoiding henry. That way Ruby would think her plans worked, then she watched Henry. Day after day, Marissa would make an effort to be where Henry was. Just like that, they began to spend time with each ot
When Marissa went to get her phone from the balcony and found Laura's name flashing on the screen, she had her stomach knot. All her happiness was gone. She could still see Henry standing, waiting for her. She hesitated for a moment, then swiftly cut the call and turned to Henry, who was now lounging on the couch, flipping through a stack of papers.“Oh it’s nothing it’s just my troublesome ex," Marissa lied smoothly, slipping the phone into her pocket. "Always calling at the worst times." She rolled her eyes.Henry raised an eyebrow, his piercing gaze fixing on her. "You okay?""Yeah, just annoying," Marissa replied with a dismissive wave, hoping her calm demeanor masked the unease churning inside her. She looked at him to avoid looking away. That would reassure him. She had missed Laura’s call the day before. She knew deep down, she couldn't keep avoiding Laura's calls forever, especially not when she was supposed to be gathering information for her. She had given her much details
As they say, we all have different problems, just as how different our faces are. While Marissa thought of creative of creative ways to be with Henry, henry thought about ways to uncover what Jackson was hiding. Henry sat alone in his office, the weight of suspicion heavy on his shoulders. Since receiving that damning video of Jackson sneaking out at night, he had been unable to shake the feeling of betrayal. Each replay of the footage only deepened his turmoil. Jackson had been his right-hand man for a while, and the thought of him colluding with their rivals was almost unbearable. At some time, he had trusted Jackson with his life. How could he do that? While working, Henry would suddenly take out his phone and begin to watch the video. It comprised of him seeing Jackson walk out of the car and zoom off at mid night. The video showed him doing this more than once. Anger burned through henry. He wondered who Jackson must be meeting. He tried to watch the video more times. Hoping t
Elena was suffering from all angles. Firstly Henry refused to speak to her. He made his secretary attend to matters that would make her come in front of him. Then came Danny with his problems. That week they had quarrel and she left Danny’s house but the moment she got home, problems arose. Her mother had borrowed some money from a guy and she didn’t pay back. Unknown to them, the guy was part of a Mafia group. Trouble began when they began to threaten them by messages.The mafia took their threats physical by coming into the house, when Elena was away from work. They demanded for their money. Then when she got home, she saw the worst of it.As Elena sat on the floor of her mother’s sitting room, with huge hands wrapped against her mouth, she feared for the worst. She feared for her mother’s life. It was there and then she decided she would do anything to stop this.“Three days lady... three days” the other man who held Elena warned. And with that they left the house. Elena collaps
Danny and I danced to romantic song. My feet moving up and down along the floor, as the bass of the song reverberated through our bodies. I was wearing my white shirt sleeve shirt today, with black shorts, the same as yesterday as well. Tonight, though, I wore a red short gown which screamed lust. After he had slept with me last night, he told me he was taking me on a date. That night while he slept, I walked into the bathroom and wept so hard. I was beginning to grow hate for Danny and when we quarreled, I thought I could use that as an opportunity, to stay awhile without him. But then my mum’s deeds sucked me back in. after crying I wiped my tears, telling myself this was for the best. I decided I would give this my best and try not to pass out.Danny pulled me into his arms, as I danced. I was pressed close to Danny’s body, I felt his erection. He put his arm around my waist, pulling me closer, while his other hand gripped my ass tightly. His lips grazed mine for a second before
