Pacing about aimlessly in his living room was Mr Andrews. The day had been gone by far and the night was beginning to grow old. The entire street was asleep, sure there could have been a few people who were still up working on their laptops or just some people watching movies but Mr Andrews only paced about which was unusual, given the time of the night.Almost like he was being controlled to move about in aimless directions, he had but one thought on his mind.'Was a man like Jacob to be trusted at all? He definitely must have placed an eye on me somewhere, watching every single step I make. One billion? This is obviously a scheme by him trying to extort money from me since he claims he has gone broke. But he must know that the Wayne fortune is over a hundred billion, that must be his reason for such a high price--'"Darling?" Mr Andrews was cut short of his thoughts. His neck cringed sideways and his eyes fell on his wife."Are you alright? It seems like something has been playing
Mrs Andrews blinked twice. Her lashes fluttered against her skin unbelievably as the words her husband just said caressed her ears.'What? Did I hear him right? He wants to tell me about what happened to him today? When did he ever report to me?' She thought.On second thought, she disregarded all the questions that soared freely in her head as she felt he might just tell her another lie. She sat down thinking, let's just get this over with. "Jacob came around today my work place today--"The mention of the name forced her to cut Mr Andrews off. "--Jacob?" Oh how she despised that name very much.Why was her husband still meeting with the man that scammed him and delivered fake news about there being a missing heir? They had searched effortlessly for over a year, in the suburban parts of England, the rural parts too. They had traveled out of the country as well to find him but all their efforts were fruitless. She knew her husband hadn't given up on the search but hope of the boy
A beautiful smile played on Ivan's face as he stared at the paper in his hand. Trevor was worried. From one corner of the room to another, he paced about with fidgeting hands, trying to calm his nerves. Just like Ivan had expected on arriving at his dorm room, the place was a mad house. Piles of dirty laundry placed on top of each other was a mountain on the floor.Packs of snacks and sweets probably eaten from the week before up until that moment decorated the floor. Ivan's bed had not been touched though, it was just as he left it. But Trevor's bed was a mess, crumpled bed sheets decorated with stains of who knows what-- Trevor knows what actually. Of all the mess in the dorm, Ivan's eyes were fixed on one thing. A white envelope sat carefully on his bed and without hesitation, took to opening it. Just like his instincts had told him, inside that envelope was his not so long awaited result. As his eyes scanned the letter, Trevor wouldn't stop asking him questions like; "Is that
Just like a bird flying across the sky, summer was flying by and autumn was getting closer. Days had gone by since her first ever serious fight with Ivan and she wondered why she was feeling hurt so much when he should be the one apologizing.China lazily relaxed into one of the kitchen's chair with a sigh. She rose to her feet and sat back down again, heaving another lazy sigh.Why must my life be like this? She thought to herself. Happiness is just like the clouds to her, so beautiful and within her sights reach but yet so far away especially from her hand's reach. No matter how much she tiptoed, she was never getting any closer. "What is all this? Did I even do something wrong? I was going to tell him anyway what my plan was and besides, it is all to protect him!" Like a mad woman, she lashed out at no one but herself."How long does he plan to make me feel like the bad guy and not the victim? I am the victim!" Another loud yelling escaped her mouth. She muttered a low hiss foll
There was no avoiding his fate. Whatever it was the world had laid down on the road that led to his success, he was going to survive and surpass it. He would surpass his own expectations. 'So what? She is standing right there so close to me, that's fine. Our destinies had always been intertwined from the start and bumping into her should hold no effect on me. She will definitely have a part to play in my triumph, either good or bad. So I am only expecting more of her.'Ivan tried to convince himself not to be moved by her presence though the words he told himself all seemed like utter nonsense. Their destinies were intertwined? It was all part of his fate? Where was he going exactly?He knew he didn't have a point or rather he made no sense in his head. But that was what he believed. But there was this look in her eyes that almost brought him to his knees. That almost made him break down and fall apart, bursting into tears uncontrollably. What was that look in her eyes? He started
The sky grew darker over their heads. China couldn't help but to look wearily at her surroundings. Houses and shops appeared scantier and scantier until there was none in sight anymore. What is with this secluded area he is taking me to? China asked herself. If he weren't her friend or rather, if they weren't friends before, she would have believed he had had something bad planned out for her.But she still kept at alert. The only audible noises was the sound of their shoes as they kissed the earth. So many times she wanted to ask where he was taking her but she would tell herself to at least trust her friend."I'm not going to kill you." Ivan said like he had read her mind. Though it was easy to tell from the looks on her face. Her mind was like an open book placed in front of him to read easily. "What?" Her eyes landed on him as she asked him. Then her cheeks burned red with embarrassment. Was she that easy to read? Was she really wearing a scared look on her face? How could she l
She swallowed hard. She lowered her gaze as she was starting to wonder if she was hearing things or if he had just truly said them to her. But should she really let it phase her? He was in love with another woman anyway. She heard him sigh and it made her look up at him again. "I just don't want to lose you so stupidly. Whenever I think of what we have been through together and you and I have been through a lot!" He admitted with a chuckle. "I can't help but to smile because you mean so much to me. Even when you were dying, you looked the most beautiful and I could just sit next to you and gaze at you all day."She suddenly felt weak in the knees. His words sent a tickling sensation through her body and she almost pulled him into her arms to kiss him. Would she ever though? Would he ever allow it?She cleared her throat loudly. It was a really dry cough. "I... I understand that you care about me as your friend Ivan... I want you to know that I would never purposely hurt your feeling
Roses, lavender and something else. The bathroom had an ever enticing aromatic fragrance. It was probably the scented candles or perfume oil added to the bathtub water. China couldn't help but to wonder, was this the treatment Ivan got every time he wanted to take his bath? But then again, she was a girl and it was her first time visiting. Maybe it was all just to entice her. She dipped her naked body into the scented water and she immediately felt comforted. Every pores in her body gladly accepted the water to wash away her sorrow and the aches in her body. Her lashes fluttered as her eyelid fell down and up again. There was something else about the water, something that seemed to be massaging her body and she could almost drool from satisfaction. Her eyes fell shut as she let the water caress her body and turn her on. She suddenly wanted to be touched. Her body ached for a man to feel her curves and shower her with blissful kisses. Boy had she been single for too long. Her eye
