Sara sighed, stretching her limbs as she woke up, scratching frantically at her eyes as she tried to remember what had happened the previous night.Fragments of what had occurred came to her, she remembered being curled up in his arms.She remembered his chin on her shoulder and his warm breath on her neck.Turning to look at his side of the bed, she shook her head when she found it empty, he was probably already headed to work, she thought as she made her way out of bed.She squirmed at the cold air that hit her body as she slipped out of the duvet, heading for the bathroom.The clanks and clatter of plates downstairs told her that Anna had already resumed for the day.She walked briskly into the bathroom to start her day with her usual ritual.Sara was done in a few minutes, walking into the room wrapped in a towel, her hair dripping wet.She walked to the wardrobe, dabbing herself dry with the towel for a few minutes, she untied it and wrapped it around her head “You look absolute
The last place Artemis had expected to see Vera was here, at the office. Had he invited her before or after she quit?She felt her heart squeeze in hurt in her chest, and she watched Vera sashay majestically towards the lobby.Artemis could see why Ivan was crazy over her, she looked gorgeous even without any effort.Like she was born with the poise and sense of confidence she had like she knew she had something she wanted.As if on cue, Vera turned to him right and her eyes met Artemis, they held contact for a while before Vera broke it, walking into the building.Vera walked in, unable to shake away the anger and pain she saw in the girls' eyes, almost like she had some sort of contempt or beef with her.“Hi,” Vera greeted as she walked to the receptionist.She was a very young girl and looked like she was fresh out of college.Vera knew this from the smile etched on her rather very young-looking face, seasoned workers do not have that sweet smile.“Hello ma'am, welcome.” She greete
Ares walked briskly into the building, making a beeline for his office, stopping occasionally to answer the greetings thrown at him by his workers.His eye caught Athena, discussing with another worker at the corner.“Diana!” He called loudly, gesturing for her to come with his hands.“Good morning Ares.” She greeted, her eyes trained on the iPad in her hands. “Busy morning?” Ares asked. “Very much so, we are expecting the investors soon and our developers are doing a final test run of the product to be sure and on the safer side,” Athena said.“Wait, the meeting with the investors was today?” Ares asked, shocked as they entered the elevator.“Yes sir, did you forget,” Athena asked, surprised herself, Ares was one to not forget things as important as this.“I honestly forgot.” He said truthfully, leaning on the elevator and staring blandly at the keypad.“Ares, are you okay?” Athena asked with concern.She was not one to show any sort of care or affection, but Ares was her boss and
“This is the part where I kiss you, right?” Ivan asked, gazing lovingly into her eyes.“I guess,” Vera said with a smile, inching closer so their noses touched.“Closer,” Ivan whispered, his breath fanning her lips.“This close?” Vera asked, their lips just one move away from touching, Vera giggling like a teenager.“That close, amour, this close,” Ivan said his lips on hers.Vera gasped as his lips touched hers, completely dominating hers and taking her completely to another world.Their lips moved in sync, Vera held on tighter to him as she felt her legs go weak, they felt like jelly, and she leaned into him for more support.Vera felt his tongue nudge gently on her lower lips, seeking permission to invade. Her lips parted almost immediately, granting him entry into the warmth of her mouth.Vera felt her legs get even weaker, and she leaned more into him, giving him her entire body weight.A moan escaped from the depths of her throat, and a sigh followed.Ivan smiled into the kiss,
Eve smiled as she locked the gate and walked into her apartment.“Gede” she whispered to herself, she loved how his name rolled off her tongue, and he seemed nice, but he could be a stalker or dangerous for all she knew Taking out her phone, she saw she had missed some calls from Carmen and Olive and one from Kira.IKira probably called to make her confess again, she just knew it.Dialing Carmen, she waited for her to pick up while simultaneously tidying up the bits and pieces she had left lying around when she left rushing.“Hey, baby mama,” Carmen called gleefully from the other end.“Baby mama?” Eve asked, surprised. “Since when?” She inquired.“Since today,” Carmen said giggling.“Nice,” Eve said, simply picking up a thong beside the bed and throwing it into the hamper.“How is the little bean?” Carmen asked, referring to Eve's non-existent baby.“Oh, he or she is fine, being a good boy or girl,” Eve said absentmindedly.“Are you busy?” Carmen asked, “You sound far away and busy
Chapter 114Artemis stormed angrily into her car, the guts of him. To think he could not have the decency or respect to wait until she was gone to invite his human.And she looked gorgeous even without much of an effort, she was gorgeous.Artemis sighed, her grip on the steering tightened, and she stared blankly at the windshield, lost in thought.Yes, she had promised Hermes to stay away and forget about Ivan and anything that had to do with him.But she could not help it, she smiled when an idea appeared in her mind. It would be quite difficult, but she knew she could do it if she was determined enough.Glancing one last time at the building, she zoomed off, not bothering to look back again.She went over the idea in her head again, it was not going to be easy to kidnap Vera, she seemed extremely smart.And Ivan went everywhere with her now, or at least knew where she was Every time.Artemis, nodded as she silently mapped out her plans in her head, it had to be discreet and quiet, s
Anna watched Sara eat, she had been a little brooding since they talked, and she finally told her the truth.It's not every day someone tells you the truth about your past, and you realize you have been living a lie, you have been living a life that was not exactly yours.Anna knew that as Sara felt, anyone would feel the same way, to be honest, and Anna knew what she did was the right thing to do.She had watched Ares keep the truth from her for her safety and his selfish reasons.He loved her, but with each passing day, Anna had slowly begun to see his reasons as selfish instead of reasonable.If they were meant to be they would always be no matter what, but Sara had to know her people, her own.Ares would probably have her head for this, but she would much rather he does than let Sara continue living in the dark.She had promised to see to it that Sara found out the truth, until the very end.Anna had not told Sara yet, but she had found the golden-haired man from the mall.She kne
Hermes got ready to leave, tidying his desk making final adjustments summarizing his work, and preparing to sneak out.He had not told Ivan yet, but he had found out about Sara's whereabouts, or rather Anna had found him and told him.He planned to surprise him with her presence after their meeting and of course when she felt ready enough to see him.Just as he got ready to go, his phone beeped with a notification. His face lit when he saw Anna's name but fell almost immediately when he read the content of the message.Sighing, he sat. He backed down, contemplating continuing his work or just waiting for them to text when they were done with whatever was holding them up.Anna had found him first after his attempt to talk to someone he knew which did not go as planned, he had recognized her almost immediately when she walked up to him and asked for a few minutes to talk.Hermes remembered being so happy that he did not have to do much, the opportunity had fallen right into his lap.The
