"Do what? What worse are you going to do? Talk to me Dad, what worse are you going to do? For crying out I am your son, and you don't have what it takes to hurt me," Ethan replied as he covered himself with the duvet.Mr. Starling smiled, if only he knew he was the one who killed his mother and cut her body into different parts. He wouldn't have said such a thing."You are right son. I can't possibly do you any wrong, I can't. But I would love to talk to you about this. Who knows, maybe I might change my mind."Ethan chuckled, "If that's a joke, you are definitely the best comedian in the world right now. Good night Dad, or better still good morning."Mr. Starling gulped hard, exhaled, and walked out of Ethan's room. He headed back to his room and laid down on his bed thinking about what Ethan said.He began to question himself, was he doing it for Fiona's good or his? He also paid attention to what Ethan said about having a marriage where you don't love your partner or spouse. Defini
"Let me help you with your bag boss," Burundi said, asking for his bag. "Ohh, thank you. It's on my bed," he replied and walked towards his bed.Burundi still felt elated. The dude couldn't believe what just happened. It all felt like a dream. His life had changed no matter the options he picked. He looked around his boss's room smiling. "Come on, let's go," Alistair said, handing over his bag to him."Thank you, boss," he replied smiling as they both walked to the door. Alistair stepped forward and opened the door. "Boss, you didn't have to do that. I should be the one doing it."Alistair smiled, "Come on, you helped me with my bag. Helping you with the door isn't really a big deal, you know right?"Burundi nodded his head smiling. They both walked side by side in the hallway, till they got to the stairs. Burundi went ahead, while Alistair tailed him. They both descended the stairs until they arrived at the last step.Their heads both tilted to the dining. Everyone was seated already
"Wow, that's huge," Mrs. Tricia muttered, "Congratulations Burundi.""You are right Nana, that's huge," Mr. Alistair replied as he walked towards Burundi, and stretched his hands for a handshake. This left Burundi stunned, and shocked.They both shook hands, "Thank you, boss. I am grateful.""Everyone wait a minute. Wait a minute, why the heck are we all shocked at this?" Layla asked."What do you mean by that?" Reagan asked, looking confused. Everyone's gaze was now on Layla, who was holding on to her boyfriend's arm, Nathan. "Come on guys. You all should know better. Isn't this what Alistair said yesterday about helping us out?"They all nodded their heads. They tilted their heads towards Alistair's, and back to Burundi. "Wait a minute. You mean it was Alistair all along?" Nathan asked, and they both nodded their heads."Layla, how did you know this?" Her mother asked."Mum, you said it. I take note of little, and tiny details. That was what happened, nothing else, nothing more," sh
Layla and Nathan both came out of the car. "Take care, Reagan, we will see at lunchtime," Layla muttered before walking away with Nathan beside her. "You know it looks crazy. We have to act like friends whereas we are more than that," Nathan replied as they joined Alistair in the elevator which was about to close up. "You guys are late," he replied, gazing at his wristwatch."We are sorry boss," they both muttered with their heads bowed."Tell me what are we doing today? What's my schedule?" He tilted his neck towards Layla. "I am not in charge of that. Kathy is the one in charge," she replied looking at him."Kathy?" He asked, looking confused."Yes boss," she replied with a smile on her lips. "Get to Kathy, she should be in my office in the next three minutes. I need to know what's going on, and what I am up to today.""Yes boss," she replied, looking away."You, what are you doing today?" Alistair's gaze was on Nathan."Me?" He asked, pointing at himself."Of course you. Is there
"Boss, Kathy just informed me she's currently ill. She won't be showing up at work today," Layla replied as they walked into Mr. Alistair's office."She's ill? Why didn't she call in earlier to inform us?" He asked as he walked over to his seat. "She forgot. If she didn't, I am sure she would have been here.""Are you sure about that? You just got here, don't think you already know her. I am not saying she's bad or tricky. I am just saying you shouldn't trust her just like that," he muttered as he sat down."Noted boss," she replied, staring at him. "What about my schedule for today? What are we going to do about it?" He asked, gazing at me. Immediately Layla's phone buzzed, "What are we going to do about it right? I am on it, just be patient. She just sent your schedule layout to my mail.""Great, please check it out. I want to be sure I won't waste any time coming to the office today," he muttered gazing at Nathan who had been silent."Nathan you aren't saying any word. What's going
"I do, but I think we have missed the point, Alistair," she muttered as she also got up from her seat."What could that be?" He asked, staring at her with his hands crossed."The reason for accepting her back into your life," she replied."Oh, that's true. Well, this was what I had in mind. I am going to pretend as if I am in love with her. You and I both know that she's not in love with me.We both know what she's trying to do. We also know who the real boyfriend is, right?"Layla nodded her head, "Yeah I know who it is.""What I am going to do is to pretend. I show her all the affection I can. Buy her gift, and do the rest. Even if it involves bringing her father back to the company.I plan on making her feel like she has control over me. All this is also to gain her trust, and also make her open to me."It didn't sit well with Layla. She shook her head, "That's not a good approach if you ask me.""It's not?" He asked, looking confused."It's not. Here's my reason," she walked towar
They both laid back on the bed gazing at each other. "I was right last night. I knew none of us was going to wake up to continue what we both started.That's the reason why I said we should go on last night without stopping." Oliver muttered.Kathy rolled her eyes, "I know, but at least we have the whole day to ourselves. There's no need for you to complain.""There's no need to complain? Can you hear yourself? This is not the first time this has happened. I spoke about this, but you don't want to change right?""Excuse me. It's not like it's my fault. I was tired, and I needed time to rest. I didn't want to have sex with you when I was tired. I also want to engage in it. I didn't want it to be one-sided, do you understand?""Really? You don't want it to be one-sided?""Yes, I don't want it to be one-sided. You are aware of this. It's not like you woke me up when you woke up. It's not like I wouldn't have woken up, or given you one or two excuses.This has always been the case. After
He made sure he dried every part of her body. When Oliver was done, he moved to the other side of the bed. "Do your legs still hurt?"She nodded her head, "It does. You know you could have gone easy on me. But you didn't, and now this. I am glad I ain't going to work today. I am sure before the end of today the pain would have gone.""Don't blame me. Stop acting as if you didn't enjoy it. Besides, how about I use my magic lips on your pussy. Who knows it might work," he rolled his eyes."What? Are you fucking serious? I am complaining about feeling pains down there, and you are hell-bent on deriving pleasure?" She was shocked."What? It was just a suggestion. If you want me to go ahead with it, fine. If you don't want me to go ahead with it. It's still fine, you don't have to raise your voice at me. You know, right?" Oliver asked, looking away."Really? It's not like I raised my voice at you. Stop trying to pass the blame on me," she replied.That didn't sit well with Oliver. He tilte
