《The ceo鈥檚 secretary》


 Chapter 1

    I checked how deep asleep the nameless guy by my side was before quietly getting out of bed to use the restroom. I checked the time, which was 1:45, and tiptoed to the restroom in order not to wake him up.


    ¡°Alexi, you¡¯re something else,¡± I murmured to myself while checking myself in the mirror and touching my lips to see how swollen they really were. The nameless guy really did a pretty good job on them.


    I adjusted my underwear and left the restroom for the bedroom with the hope that the nameless guy would still be asleep.


    ¡°OH MY¡­¡± I said shockingly and covered my mouth with my right hand.


    ¡°He shocked you, right?¡± The nameless guy asked while smirking, ¡°He always does. I call him the starter. You¡¯ve met him, but I¡¯ve not introduced him to you formally,¡± he continued while stroking his big, eight-inch cock.


    I took a good look at the rod in front of me and did a double take before looking between my legs to think about how something as big as that could have fit inside.


    ¡°I guess this is your first time seeing something so huuuug,¡± he added with that self-assured smirk still sttered on his face.


    ¡°Of course not,¡± I replied while trying to press my thighs together in order to hide how drenched I really was between them.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡°I doubt that answer, baby girl, because your action just shows how bad you¡¯re at lying,¡± he said.


    Truthfully, I was really good at lying, but how did he expect me to be able to y that role well when I was looking at the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life?


    ¡°Enough of you standing by the door. I think you shoulde to bed if you are done staring at me,¡± he said, taking me back to reality. ¡°Or the startler,¡± he added before increasing the speed on his cock.


    Our first round had been extremely fast, to the extent that we were hardly out of our clothes, and extremely hot, to the extent that I will still be having a rey of it for the next twenty years.


    I slowly walked to the bed in order not to lose my bnce, and I kneeled down by his side to take in everything I could because there might not be a second chance.


    He continued stroking, and I couldn¡¯t believe myself when I opened my mouth and said, ¡°Can I touch it?¡±


    ¡°With maximum pleasure,¡± he replied, handing it to me. ¡°I¡¯m suspecting this is your first time holding something like this.¡± He asked


    I dodged the question and started stroking him instead. I put my hand at the base and slowly moved it to the tip. I did it a few more times before lowering my head and licking his tip with my tongue, which startled him and got me rewarded with a well-pronounced ¡®fuck¡¯ which made me deepen the contract.


    I opened my mouth as wide as I could and put it down on his cock as far as I could go while still stroking him. This was a very good opportunity for me to perform my fantasies, and I wasn¡¯t going to waste a single second of it.


    I gagged as he rammed into the back of my throat continuously and continued to swallow his cum as it was dripping down my throat.


    He pulled me down more on his cock with his two hands and forced his thick cock down my throat more.


    ¡°Yeah, baby girl¡­ You are almost there. Take it in more¡­ Do you like it? ¡­ Do you like the starter? Good job.¡±


    He increased his speed and pulled me down faster on his cock until I felt his hot cum as it ran straight down my throat.


    He released his hold instantly and gasped for air as if he were fighting for dear life, and I used the opportunity to clean the rest of the cum that was glittering on his cock.


    I made a good show of swallowing it and stylishly watched him as he watched me with satisfaction written boldly on his face.


    ¡°Holy sh*t, that was incredible.¡±


    I ignored hispliment and focused all my attention on his cock instead. He traced my eyes and instantly realized what I wanted.


    ¡°Bad girl, you want it, right? Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s going to be yours in a few minutes,¡± he said before pushing me down on the bed. ¡°But I¡¯ve got some business to deal with before the starter can prove himself again,¡± he added.


    I felt his warm breath between my thighs immediately. He stopped speaking and knew exactly what was about to happen as he raised my legs up in order to create some space for himself. Heid down on his stomach and adjusted my position before burying his mouth and tongue inside of me.


    My eyes instantly rolled back to my skull as he used his mouth to suck on my clitoral area. He put his hands underneath my underwear and went directly for my right boob. I moaned as his tongue pushed far into my vagina, while his hand was squeezing and pinching my nipple in absolute ecstasy.


    ¡°This is heaven,¡± I thought, and I used my left hand to push him deeper, as if I wasn¡¯t getting enough of him.


    He stopped to lick my inner thighs softly, kissing from thigh to thigh, his warm breath hovering over my wet, juicy pussy, which was waiting eagerly for his hot, wet tongue.


    He came back to my hungry, wet pussy and kissed it all around until I couldn¡¯t hold the moan that had been threatening me anymore. He and used his tongue to separate my pussy lips apart and licked them up and down, right and left, round and round until I was nothing but rubber. I trembled, locked my knees around his head, and started thrusting my pussycat more onto his face. My moans were bing more intense now, and I knew I had only a few seconds left before I climaxed.


    I grabbed more of his hair, and I guessed that gave him the sign that I was about toe because he immediately picked up the pace. I grabbed even more on to his hair and started thrusting faster, his tongue prating my wet, hungry pussy until I couldn¡¯t take it anymore, and he delightfully released my oxytocin inside his hot, wet mouth while I tensed and arched my back and copsed when I was finally drained.


    I unlocked my knees when I came back to reality and looked down at the nameless guy, who was now smirking from side to side.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I said.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to; that blowjob was worth it. Now I think it¡¯s time for you to formally meet Startler because he¡¯s extremely eager to prove himself to you once more,¡± he said while stroking his cock, which was as hard as if it were just waking up.


    ¡°I think starters shouldn¡¯t be too sure,¡± I joked.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±


    I took off my underwear, and he made his way up to where I was lying until we were face-to-face and touched his lips to mine.


    ¡°How was that?¡± He asked


    ¡°You mean the sucking?¡± He shook his head. ¡°It was¡­¡±


    ¡°Fuck.¡± He pushed his tongue inside my mouth before I was able to answer his question and used both his hands to squeeze my boobs.


    I arched my back and used my hands to pull him down on my already thrusting hips for more friction. He stopped his actions instantly and smirked at me before saying, ¡°Easy girl. You are still going to get it, but I need to check how good these apples are first.¡± while ying with my boobs, which were bouncing joyfully on my chest.


    ¡°Damn! Your nipples are damn hard,¡± he said before licking them softly one after the other.


    I moaned and closed my eyes to savor the pleasure that was running through my veins while he licked one breast and squeezed the other. When he was finally done with my boobs, he moved up and started licking my ear, which made me lose control and say, ¡°Now!¡± While trembling, ¡°I want it now!¡±


    ¡°I see that someone is very eager to meet the starter,¡± he said before positioning his bulbous head at my entrance. He waited for a few seconds to torture me more and made sure to focus all his attention on my face as he pushed his eight-inch hard rod inside my hot, tight, and hungry pussycat.


    I felt the friction of his in-and-out movement and moaned into his ear. His hard cock is giving me a pleasure that I¡¯ve never felt before.


    ¡°Tell me your name so that I will have a name to call you,¡± I said between each stroke.


    ¡°Not knowing your name¡­ makes it more fun,¡± he replied as he grinded harder into me.


    I opened my legs wider and surrendered myself to the blissful feelings that were passing through my blood.


    He pulled out of me, pulled my butt closer to himself, put both my legs on his shoulders, and looked down at my pussycat before rubbing his hand on my clitoral area. He went through with this for a few minutes, and I was getting inpatient with every single second because I wanted that rod back in my pussycat.


    He ran his hand up and down my clitoral area until his hand was full of my pussy juice, which he sucked off while looking at me straight in the eyes. He slowly pushed his cock inside, and just as I felt the ridge around the head slip past my entrance, he stopped. I rotated my hips for more, but he wasn¡¯t moving.


    He stood like that for a few more seconds andter withdrew. Again, he slowly pushed his cock inside, stopped when almost 5 inches were in my poon, and closed his eyes as if he wasn¡¯t sure of what to do next.


    I thrust my hips up for the friction that I had been waiting for, but he held me back down before I could get any


    ¡°Baby girl, calm down. I¡¯m going to satisfy you, but let me savor the pleasure of entering you,¡± he said before withdrawing once more.


    He pushed his dick inside my pussycat slowly once more and was almost deep down when he stopped again. He made eye contact with me and licked his bottom lip before pulling out of me.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± he shouted and roughly pushed his way inside. I closed my eyes, held on to the bedsheet to adjust myself to the speed at which he was going, and raised my hips to receive more of him.


    I could hardly breathe with his speed, but the pleasure I was deriving was worth it. I closed my eyes and kept taking in the pleasure as he was giving it to me. In¡­ out¡­ in¡­ out, and before I knew what was happening, I was alreadying with a guttural voice, which I still can¡¯t believe was mine.


    ¡°Yes,e for me¡­ Yes. Yes¡­¡± He continued saying this as he was speeding up for his own release, which happened after a few more thrusts.


    He fell on me and held onto me as I felt his hot cum inside my pussycat. I also joined him, and we both held each other until we were back to our senses.


    He rolled off of me and held my face as if he were just seeing me for the first time.


    ¡°That was one of the greatest sex experiences of my life,¡± he said.


    ¡°Me too,¡± I lied.


    That wasn¡¯t one of the greatest sex of my life, but the ¡®greatest sex I have had in my entire life¡¯


    I moved closer to him while he spooned me from behind, and with that, I fell asleep.

 Chapter 2

    I stretched my hand to turn off my annoying phone, which has been going off every five minutes for the past thirty minutes. I checked the time, which was six, and slowly rolled out of bed to use the restroom. I was almost at the door when thest-night event came rushing back to me.


    I instantly looked back at the bed, but the nameless guy was already gone.


    ¡°Exactly what I expected of you,¡± I said before making my way to the restroom.


    I dressed up and called a taxi. I turned on my phone when I was almost home and waited for multiple messages that I was sure would be waiting.


    ¡®where are you?¡¯ from sis at 9:02 p. m.


    ¡®I¡¯m about to go, should I still wait for you¡¯ from sis @ 9:31pm


    ¡®I called Peter and he said you aren¡¯t with him¡¯ from sis at 9:45 p. m.


    ¡®Judith called, where are you?¡¯ from love at 9:47 p. m.


    ¡®Peter called, where the hell are you? I told him you¡¯d be with me. Call me  asap.¡± from Cyn at 9:54 p. m.


    ¡®Peter said you¡¯re with Cynthia. You almost gave me a heart attack. See you tomorrow¡¯ from sis at 9:58 p. m.


    I immediately called Cynthia, who picked up on the fifth ring.


    ¡°Hey¡±


    ¡°Hello, Cynthia, good morning.¡±


    ¡°Where were youst night?¡±


    ¡°I was with some guy.¡±


    ¡°You were with what? ¡°Oh, wait, you mean you finally did it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I did. What of Peter? Was he mad at me?


    ¡°Can you give me a better exnation of what really went downst night?¡± Cynthia said eagerly, dodging my question.


    ¡°Maybe when we see this evening. Are you going to be around?¡±Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Absolutely yes. I can¡¯t wait.¡±


    ¡°Of course you can, and you will. So was Peter mad at mest night?¡±


    ¡°No, he wasn¡¯t. He was worried instead, but I know he is going to be really mad at you if he knows what happenedst night. How was it?


    ¡°It was extremely good. It felt too good; I almost lost my mind, and he¡­¡± The taxi driver gave me this look, which shut me up instantly and made me change what I was about to say.


    ¡°And he what?¡± Cynthia asked


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re going to talk this evening. I got to go.¡±


    ¡°Okay then. See you in the evening.¡±


    ¡°Alright. Bye¡±


    I went straight to my room to dodge my sister¡¯s ready-made questions, which I knew I was still going toe across, whether I liked them or not.


    ¡°Wow,st night was beautiful,¡± I thought as I sat down on my bed with a hand mirror.


    I opened my legs widely and ced the mirror in front of my still-red pussycat. I used my other hand to spilt my pussy lip apart and inserted one of my fingers in it.


    I started the in-and-out movement, but I wasn¡¯t getting enough friction, so I added another finger. I continued the in and out movement and watched my beautiful pussycat as my two fingers were sliding in and out of it in the hand mirror, which I was still holding with my other hand.


    Iter pulled my fingers out and licked my pussy juice, which was dripping down my fingers, before focusing my attention on my hard clitoris, which had been waiting for my touch.


    I used my fingers to rub my clitoral area softly in a circr motion and was on my way to heaven when someone called my name.


    ¡°alexi!¡± Judith called


    ¡°Fuck,¡± I murmured, and instantly pulled the nket off my naked body.


    ¡°Lexi! Lexi!¡± She called again as she was opening the door, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you are still sleeping.¡±


    ¡°Judith, are you supposed to knock?¡± I said sleepily.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me what I¡¯m supposed to do when you couldn¡¯t tell me we wouldn¡¯t be going home togetherst night.¡±


    ¡°I thought I did, Judith, but I¡¯m sorry if I didn¡¯t. You knew I told you I wasn¡¯t really feeling the party.¡±


    ¡°That wasn¡¯t what you told me. What you told me was that you wanted to go for a drink.¡±


    That was exactly what I told her and what I had gone for, but I fortunately met the nameless guy at the bar, chatted for an hour with him, andnded on his bed not long after.


    ¡°What I said was, ¡®I¡¯m not feeling this party. I think I will go get a drink.¡± I would rather let her feel stupid than for me to tell her the truth.


    ¡°And you changed your track and instead went for a drink at Cynthia¡¯s house,¡± she said with an intense look.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t get the drink. I was bored, so I left.¡±


    ¡°You almost gave me a heart attack.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I will soon be leaving for work, so make sure to clean the house and don¡¯t forget to feed Mama.¡±


    That¡¯s what you get when you¡¯re jobless. Cleaner, cook, and dog feeder.


    I hate dogs. Mama was our dog. Judith knew I hated dogs, and she still made sure that she fed him whenever I was home.


    I watched her as she took a taxi andter went back to my bed to call Peter.


    ¡°Hello¡±


    ¡°Hello. You scared mest night,¡± Peter said.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. How was your night?¡±


    ¡°Surperb¡±


    ¡°Wow. You sound strange. What¡¯s up over there?¡±


    ¡°Nothing. I think I¡¯m just happy today.¡±


    ¡°Okay. I got to go. I¡¯m going to see youter in the day.¡±


    ¡°We aren¡¯t going to meetter in the day.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Because I promised Cynthia that I would be spending the evening with her.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you with her throughoutst night?¡±


    ¡°No. I mean, yes, I was, but we have to see again today for some reason.¡±


    ¡°Okay, but it seems as if something is up.¡±


    ¡°No. Nothing¡±


    ¡°Alright, then we are going to talkter. Love you¡±


    ¡°Alright¡±


    This was the first time I hung up on Peter, my boyfriend, without telling him I loved him because I don¡¯t think he deserved my love after what I experiencedst night.


    I turned on my data for my Gmail messages and used the loading period to pray.


    ¡®God, let it be good news. God, let it be good news.


    I¡¯ve been going for  job interviews since two months ago, after my graduation, and most of them have declined. Telling me the same story in a different statement and myst hopes were the twostpanies that I¡¯ve heard nothing about.


    I eagerly opened my Gmail when the name of one of thesepanies shed on my screen and opened it with the hope that it was going to be good news.


    ¡®Dear Miss Tyler


    This letter is to let you know that you were not selected to return to this h h h¡¯. I turned off my phone before I could continue reading the sad news and angrily got out of bed to prepare a full bowl of cereal.


    ¡°Alexi, you shouldn¡¯t die of hunger because you are unemployed,¡± I murmured to myself before taking my first spoon.


    I went to the backyard to feed Mama andter gotfortable in front of the television to watch Adam Lee¡¯stest movie.


    Ding dong! Ding dong!


    I paused the movie and waited once more for confirmation.


    Ding dong!


    Judith wouldn¡¯t be back until half past five. I checked the time, which was 3:30 p. m., and took the center table flower vase in case I had to protect myself.


    I tiptoed to the door and peeped through the door hole. I rxed when I saw the person who was on the other side of the door and took a deep breath before opening it.

 Chapter 3

    ¡°Finally,¡± Cynthia said as she stepped through the door.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    ¡°What are you doing with the vase?¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t be too sure.¡±


    ¡°You got to be kidding me! Would a murderer be knocking on your door in full daylight?¡±


    ¡°You have to watch this Adam Lee movie to see for yourself,¡± I said while pointing at the TV screen.


    ¡°That¡¯s a movie, Alexi. It¡¯s not always that smooth in real life.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to still be at work?¡±


    ¡°Of course yes. I pretended to be sick, so Ellen gave me permission to leave. I can¡¯t wait to hear the full story.¡±


    ¡°You got to be kidding me! You seem to be kidding me, Cynthia. You left your work to listen to myst-night story. I just wish I¡¯m as lucky as you.¡±


    ¡°Lucky in which aspect?¡±


    ¡°Both aspect. Work life, love life.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have a boyfriend?¡±


    ¡°I thought I did, but¡­ I don¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°He must have been really good.¡± Cynthia whined


    ¡°Extremely good. He changed my view of life.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Can you believe that I can¡¯t even touch Peter¡¯s dick?¡±


    ¡°Seriously! but when ites to Peter, it shouldn¡¯t be a shock.¡±


    ¡°And this guy made me do everything I wanted.¡±


    ¡°You touched him?¡±


    ¡°I touched him. I licked him. I sucked him. He made me believe that porn is real. With Peter, he believed in something else. I hardly saw his dick. He made everything difficult.¡±


    ¡°What is his name?¡±


    ¡°Not knowing his name made it more fun.¡±


    ¡°Wooooow¡±


    ¡°He blew my mind away. What do you care for?¡± I asked while making my way to the fridge.


    ¡°A Diet Coke¡±


    ¡°And what?¡±


    ¡°Just the diet, Coke.¡±


    I took out two diet Cokes and a chocte candy for myself and made my way back to the living room.


    ¡°Take¡±


    ¡°Okay, thank you. Now tell me what really happenedst night.¡±


    ¡°I met him at the bar; we chatted for some minutes, and Iter followed him to his room. I actually didn¡¯t n on spending the night there, but I slept off after the first round.¡±


    ¡°Did he go down on you?¡±


    ¡°Of course! Of course he did,¡± I said, thinking about how it felt to be sucked off. ¡°He put his mouth on me and fucked me with his long tongue. I almost came when I felt his mouth on my pus.¡± I stopped talking because I had the feeling that someone was at the front door, and I was already reaching for the vase when Judith came in.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯m watching this new film if this is the side effect,¡± Cynthia said.


    ¡°Good evening,¡± Judith said.


    ¡°Good evening. Wee back,¡± Cynthia and I replied, respectively.


    ¡°Hope you fed Mama?¡±Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Of course I did. Why did you think I wouldn¡¯t feed him?¡±


    ¡°Because you are you, you might not.¡±


    ¡°Weird name for a weird dog,¡± Cynthia said before taking another gulp of her drink.


    ¡°Thank you for the observation,¡± Judith said sarcastically while I gave Cynthia the ¡°don¡¯t say that¡± look.


    I hardly talked about Mama to anyone. Mama stays in his cage most of the of the time because the only person who would walk him was Judith.


    ¡°Your sister is so weird,¡± Cynthia whispered to me.


    ¡°I heard that,¡± Judith replied.


    ¡°You weren¡¯t supposed to.¡±


    ¡°Then stop saying sh*t in my house. I named him Mama because he looks like a girl.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Cynthia said with a not-fully-hidden sarcasm.


    ¡°Stop it,¡± I mouthed to Cynthia, and I yed my movie, which I have paused since Cynthia¡¯s arrival.


    ¡°I think this is an indication that our discussion is over.¡± Cynthia said


    ¡°You guys can continue your discussion. I¡¯m going to my room.¡± Judith excused


    ¡°Next time,¡± I mouthed to Cynthia. As if I were going to discuss such things while being under the same roof as Judith.


    We both finished the episode, and I escorted Cynthia to her car.


    ¡°I think you should try it again,¡± Cynthia advised.


    ¡°Maybe if the guy is hot like that one.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Bye¡±


    ¡°Bye, and make sure to call me when you are home.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Cynthia said, starting the car. ¡°Alexi! What if the bad man is already waiting by my entrance?¡± she whined and zoomed off before I could reply.


    Two more days went by in a blur, and on Thursday morning, I received the usual message from thestpany.


    ¡®Dear Miss Tyler


    We are sorry to inform you that¡­¡¯


    I sat in front of the TV with a full bowl of chocte ice cream and discussed my life with myself.


    ¡°So in three words, Alexi, you are jobless.¡± I said with a mouthful, ¡°Just ept it; you can¡¯t find a job in this city. This city isn¡¯t meant for you. You aren¡¯t good enough for this city. Is this how you are going to be forever? No job. No love life. No family but my sister. Nothing and nothing. You are just¡­¡±


    My phone rang, and I hung up without checking the caller.


    ¡°You have never been anything good. You are nothing but a burden to Judith. You¡­¡±


    My phone rang again, disying Love on the screen, and I made a mental note to change his name back to Peter.


    I picked up on the fourth ring and made my voice as neutral as possible.


    ¡°Hi,¡± I said.


    ¡°Hello¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m cool, you?¡±


    ¡°Okay¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m still at the office. So let me just go straight to the point. I¡¯m thinking we should meet up if you¡¯re less busy tonight.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m busy tonight.¡±


    ¡°Lexi, I¡¯ve not seen you in days.¡±


    ¡°I know, but I¡¯m busy tonight.¡±


    ¡°That was exactly what you said yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Because I was!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not saying you weren¡¯t Lexi. I¡¯m just trying to understand what is going on. You¡¯ve been acting strange since a few days ago, and I don¡¯t understand what I did wrong.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not just in the mood for apany, Peter. You, I, and Cynthia both graduated on the same day. You have a job; Cynthia does too, but what can I say about myself? Jobless, unemployable.¡±


    ¡°Lexi, I understand your pain. You know I will always be there for you, no matter what. Your pain is my pain, and your joy is my joy. Let¡¯s see tonight and talk about it. Should I still be expecting you?¡±


    ¡°Okay. Our usual time¡±


    ¡°Alright then. Love you¡±


    ¡°Bye¡±

 Chapter 4

    I reapplied my strawberry lipstick before knocking on Peter¡¯s door. He opened it instantly, as if he had been waiting for me on the other side of the door, and led me to the sitting room.


    ¡°Thanks foring.¡± He said and hugged me, ¡°I almost thought I did something wrong.¡±


    ¡°Of course not,¡± he said, releasing me and making his way to his usual spot on the couch.


    ¡°The delivery man should be here in ten.¡±


    ¡°What did you order?¡±


    ¡°Your favorite food¡±


    We ate our food in total silence and watched wrestling for some time before the atmosphere changed.


    On my way there that night, I decided to give him another chance. Maybe if I exined to him what I wanted in a rtionship, he would bend his rules.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    He shifted to my side of the couch and started touching my hair the way he always does. His breathing was bing more rapid, and when I was expecting his kiss, he got up.


    He went to the TV and turned it off, and he was about to turn off the sitting room light when I spoke.


    ¡°Stop¡±


    He gave me this curious look before asking why.


    ¡°I hate doing it in darkness.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been doing it in darkness for the past four years.¡±


    ¡°I know, but I don¡¯t like it.¡±


    ¡°Are we back at this conversation?¡±


    ¡°Maybe¡±


    ¡°But Lexi, try to understand me.¡±


    ¡°Peter, you try to understand me. There is no big deal in doing it with the light turned on, and there is also no big deal in doing it without our clothes on.¡±


    ¡°Lexi¡±


    ¡°Give me a tangible reason why we should do it with the light turned out.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t just like it.¡±


    ¡°Because you don¡¯t like something doesn¡¯t mean I should also hate it,¡± I said while making my way to him seductively.


    ¡°I want to kiss you. I want to look at your face as I enjoy you. I want to touch your skin while you make love to me, not your clothes. I want to touch you, suck you, and lick you. I want to feel your cock at the back of my throat. I want to taste your cum as¡±


    ¡°Enough Lexi. Enough. Who is teaching you all this? Who are you moving with?¡±


    ¡°No one. I¡¯m just telling you what I want in a rtionship.¡±


    ¡°Those things aren¡¯t right, Lexi. You are on the wrong path.¡±


    ¡°Says you, and where was it written that making love in the darkness with your clothes on is the right path?¡±


    ¡°Lexi!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t Lexi me! I¡¯m trying to tell you what I want in a rtionship.¡±


    ¡°But they aren¡¯t right.¡±


    ¡°Says who? Says you. Anyways, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m right for you since our tastes are different,¡± I said and started making my way to the door.


    He blocked my way at thest minute and gave me an intense look.


    ¡°Let me go, Peter. I won¡¯t listen to your reasons.¡±


    ¡°Are you seeing someone else?¡± He asked


    That question caught me off guard, but I adjusted my expression before answering him.


    ¡°I love you, Peter. I gave you my virginity, and how you¡¯re going to pay me back is by asking me such an insulting question,¡± I said aggressively. ¡°I¡¯ve told you what I want, and since you can¡¯t give it to me, let me go.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not insulting you. You know I will never do that. I¡¯m just trying to work out some things, and you should try to lower your voice. We have been dating for how many years now?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have time for that.¡±


    ¡°Please¡±


    ¡°Five¡±


    ¡°And you have never raised your voice on me for once. We started having sex about four years ago, and you¡¯ve onlyined a few times. Everything was fine between us throughoutst week, but this week has been strange. I love you, Lexi. Don¡¯t do me like this.¡±


    I knew he loved me, but love alone isn¡¯t going to satisfy my thirst for real sex.


    ¡°Try to ept my wants, and everything is going to be fine between us. Excuse me¡±


    ¡°Let me give you a ride.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to.¡±


    ¡°I want to.¡±


    ¡°Fine¡±


    On Friday morning, I woke up as usual, fed Mama, and microwaved some pizza for myself. I got a cold diet Coke and sat on the couch to continue my movie when a message popped up on my phone.


    Stokes enterprise


    06/22/2018


    Miss Alexi Tyler


    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


    Dear Miss Alexi Tyler,


    We are pleased to offer you a full-time position of secretaryship at Stokes Enterprise with a start date of June 25, 2018, contingent upon your interview, background check, etc.


    You will be reporting directly to Mr. Jason Stokes at the main office, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. We believe your skills and experience are an excellent match for ourpany.


    Your duties are as follows:.


    I reread the letter over and over again, and I was still unable to understand what was going on.


    What the hell was happening? Why was Stokes Enterprise sending me a job offer letter when I didn¡¯t even go there for an interview?


    A post of secretaryship at Stokes Enterprise?¡¯


    Stokes Enterprise was an extremely rich and popr food processingpany in the city. It was one of the mostpetitivepanies in the city, and that made everything even more weird.


    I signed the contract with the thought that they were going to get back at me with an apology that the letter wasn¡¯t meant for me.


    Before the end of the day, I informed Judith and Cynthia about it, which made Cynthia knock on my door for the second time that week.


    ¡°So, girl, what were you talking about?¡± Cynthia asked


    ¡°See it for yourself,¡± I replied, and I gave her my phone.


    ¡°And you¡¯re sure you didn¡¯t go there for an interview?¡±


    ¡°Will I be lying? You know I keep nothing from you, and you also know that my result isn¡¯t strong enough for such a bigpany.¡±


    ¡°And you¡¯re going to be reporting to the anonymous Mr. Jason Stokes?¡±


    ¡°It seems so.¡±


    Mr. Jason Stokes was the only child of Mr. Adrian Stokes, the founder of the Stokes enterprise, who took over after his father¡¯s terrible heart attack.


    ¡°I¡¯m jealous of you,¡± Cynthia said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be yet. What if I get there on Monday and everything is just a prank?¡±


    ¡°That is also true. What if someone is trying to y a prank on you? That idea didn¡¯t even cross my mind.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, whether it¡¯s a prank or not, I¡¯m going there to see for myself.¡±


    ¡°I think that is a good idea.¡±

 Chapter 5

    I could hardly sleep throughout the weekend, and when it was finally Monday, I dressed up in my new suit that I ordered online two days ago and applied a very small amount of my strawberry lipstick.


    I left my house around 6:30 a. m. and was already there before 7:00 a. m.


    The securities and the cleaners were the only ones around during that time, so I waited for thirty more minutes before people started showing up.


    The anxiety that everything was a prank was killing me inside, but an attractive youngdy who was walking towards me with a smiling face gave me some hope.


    ¡°Good morning, Miss Tyler,¡± she said while stretching out her hand for a handshake.


    ¡°Good morning¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nice meeting you. I¡¯m Miss Parker, but call me Jada. I¡¯m Mr. Stokes assistant.¡±


    ¡°Nice meeting you too, and feel free to call me Lexi.¡±


    ¡°Okay Lexi. Let me show you your office.¡±


    We took the lift and stopped on the fourth floor. We passed through the hallway and stopped by a door, which she opened.


    ¡°This is your office, and the other one is for Mr. Stokes,¡± she said, pointing at another door that was inside my office.


    ¡°Oh¡­ okay. So the boss will have to make use of this door.¡±


    ¡°Not necessary. That is, if he wants to.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°He has his own personal door, but he can still make use of this if he wants to.¡±


    ¡°Oooh¡­¡± I said, digesting the information.


    ¡°This is his schedule for this week and next week,¡± she said, putting down some of the files she was carrying.


    ¡°Okay¡±


    ¡°Have a nice day.¡±


    ¡°You too¡±


    I sat down on myfortable office chair and felt how smooth the leather was with my hands before calling Cynthia to update her about what was happening.


    I called her twice and decided to message her instead since she wasn¡¯t picking up her phone.


    ¡®Not a prank, but I still don¡¯t understand what is going on. I¡¯m going to update you as soon as everything is clear to me. Bye¡¯


    I scanned through the files andter decided to get myself something to eat since I hadn¡¯t nned any.


    I stepped out of my office and had hardly taken four steps before rushing back inside and jamming the door with my back.


    ¡®Holy cow! What is he doing here? How can this be happening to me? What am I going to do now? How am I going to survive this?¡¯


    Knock knock


    ¡°Miss Tyler! Miss Tyler, are you in?¡± A familiar voice said


    ¡°Lexi, what have you done?¡± I asked myself. My heartbeat was raising so fast that I could swear the guy on the other side could hear it. I was sweating, and I was sure my panic attack was already setting in.


    ¡°Miss Tyler!¡±


    ¡®How are you going to survive other days if you can¡¯t even survive your first day at work?¡¯ I thought and gathered all the strength in me to take my back off the door and open it.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Someone was asking me, but my vision was too blurry for me to identify who


    ¡°Miss Tyler, look at me! Can you see me? Can you hear me now?¡± The person was asking


    ¡°Miss Tyler!¡±


    Now my vision was back to normal, and I was able to identify the person who was asking me the questions. I pretended not to hear and used the opportunity to take in everything that was happening in front of me.


    I was lying horizontally on the ground, and a familiar face with a worried expression was looking down on me.


    ¡°Miss Tyler! Can you hear me?¡± The man said it again.


    It was the nameless guy with whom I had spent a night a week ago.


    ¡°Miss Tyler!¡± He said it again, and then something moved underneath my head. I rotated my eyes from left to right to understand what just happened, and I almost screamed when everything became clear.


    ¡®So, Lexi, you aren¡¯t lying on the ground but on the nameless guy¡¯sps. Exactly what you need right now¡¯ I thought and stylishly got out of hisps and adjusted my pencil skirt.


    ¡°Thanks¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to.¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°I was knocking; you weren¡¯t answering, so I came in and saw you falling.¡±


    ¡°Oh, thank you.¡±


    ¡°Like I¡¯ve said earlier, you don¡¯t have to,¡± he said while getting up. ¡°You must be Miss Tyler?¡± He said it formally. Too formal for my liking


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Jason Stokes,¡± he said, going inside his office. My eyes were as round as a saucer when what he said settled in.


    ¡®Holy mother of Jesus! Did he just say he is Jason Stokes? How can that be possible? So, Lexi, you had a one-night stand with a billionaire. Stupid girl, you should have seen thating¡¯


    I went to my bag and took out my phone to text Cynthia when another phone rang.


    ¡°Hello¡±


    ¡°Let Mr. Kingsley in as soon as he is here.¡±


    ¡°Ok, sir,¡± I said, but he had already hung up the phone. ¡®asshole¡¯ I murmured.


    I dropped the phone and sat down on my leather chair to differentiate between the man I met a week ago and the man I met now, who acted as if we had never met before.


    ¡°I¡¯m in trouble¡± I texted to Cynthia, who texted back instantly. I was about to read her message when someone entered the office.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± I said with a smiling face.


    ¡°Good morning. Are you thetest?¡± The handsome African American man asked


    ¡®Am I thetest? What the hell does that mean?¡¯


    ¡°I¡¯m Lexi, the new secretary. Mr. Stokes is waiting for you, sir.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± he said before naking me in front of my own eyes and licking his bottom lip.


    I pulled out my phone when I was through with some files and checked Cynthia¡¯s message.


    ¡®What is the problem? I hope it has nothing to do with the police¡¯ from Cyn at 8:47 a. m.


    ¡®Lexi, is everything ok? Are you there?¡¯ from Cyn at 8:56 a. m.


    ¡®Everything is going to be¡¯ I texted her back and hid my phone when I heard some footsteps. I bent my head over the file that was on my table and stylishly watched as Mr. Stokes and Mr. Kingsley came out of the office together.


    ¡°When did she start?¡± Mr. Kingsley quietly asked


    ¡°Today,¡± Jason replied.


    Mr. Kingsley asked another question, which I was unable to make out.


    ¡°Ask no more,¡± Jason replied, and he walked out of the office before Mr. Kingsley could ask him any more questions.


    Mr. Kingsley looked at my side, winked at me, and licked his lips before going after Jason.


    During lunch break, I went to a nearby restaurant and ordered a burger and Sprite. I was about to start eating when a beautifuldy came up to me with her tray.


    ¡°Can I join you?¡± She asked


    ¡°Yes sure¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Stephanie from the marketing department.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Lexi, the new secretary.¡±


    ¡°Nice meeting you.¡±


    ¡°Nice meeting you too,¡± I replied.


    We chatted throughout our meal and exchanged phone numbers on our way back to the office.


    Thirty minutes before closing, I received a strange call from the office phone.


    ¡°This is Lexi from Stokes Enterprise; what can I do for you?¡±N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    ¡°Direct my call to Jason,¡± a female voicemanded.


    ¡°Who will I say is speaking?¡±


    ¡°Just direct the call.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I need to know who is speaking.¡±


    ¡°Tell him it¡¯s Dixie.¡±


    ¡°Okay. I¡¯m going to get back to you in a few seconds,¡± I said and called Jason.


    ¡°Tell her to make an appointment¡± was Jason¡¯s order.


    I unheld Dixie¡¯s call and passed the information down to her.


    ¡°Tell him it¡¯s urgent,¡± she said desperately.


    ¡°Mr. Stokes is unavable for more calls; would you like to make an appointment?¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± she said in surrender, ¡°when will he be avable?¡±


    ¡°Is schedule pretty open for upper next week?¡±


    ¡°Okay. Twelve on Thursday¡±

 Chapter 6

    I went to Cynthia¡¯s house after work to brief her about what happened.


    ¡°So you trying to tell me that Jason Stokes, the CEO of Stokes Enterprise, was the guy you had a one-night stand with?¡± Cynthia asked


    ¡°Absolutely¡±


    ¡°Wow! Wow! Wow! And now you¡¯re his secretary.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m confused¡±


    ¡°Likewise I. And he pretended not to know you,¡± she said.


    ¡°Yup. That is what I don¡¯t understand. I¡¯m sure my being hired by thatpany was his handiwork, because I know I didn¡¯t go to thatpany for an interview. So why is he pretending not to know me if he likes me enough to give me a position I didn¡¯t even ask for?¡±


    ¡°Maybe he is trying to make you feelfortable first,¡± Cynthia said.


    ¡°Really¡±


    ¡°Maybe¡±


    ¡°So, what do you think I should do?¡±


    ¡°y along. If he acts as if he doesn¡¯t know you, you too will act as if you don¡¯t know him, and if he acts otherwise, act otherwise.¡±


    ¡°Okay¡±


    ¡°But what about Peter?¡± She asked worriedly


    ¡°We are no longer a couple.¡±


    ¡°What! How? When? What happened?¡±


    ¡°On Thursday¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°I told him what I wanted, but he isn¡¯t ready.¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I still can¡¯t ept it myself. I still love him,¡± I said sadly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± she said, shifting to me to hug me.


    ¡°It didn¡¯t work out.¡±


    ¡°I know I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Two weeks went by before I knew it, and today was my third Monday at work.


    Before going for my lunch break, I went to Jason¡¯s office to drop off some files. He was on the phone, so I just dropped off the files and was about to leave when he signaled to me to wait. His call took longer than expected, and I was already getting pissed because my lunch break was going to be affected if this was a long talk.


    Finally, he was through with his call and wasted more of my time by staring at me.


    ¡°Miss Tyler, so sorry for taking your time,¡± he said with an ¡®I¡¯m not sorry¡¯ attitude.


    ¡°It¡¯s no problem, sir.¡±


    ¡°Would you mind if I start calling you by your first name?¡±


    ¡°Not at all, sir.¡±


    ¡°So, Lexi, have we met before?¡± He asked and smirked.


    ¡°I think I¡¯ve met someone who looks like you,¡± I answered quietly.


    ¡°Do you think there is someone out there that looks like me?¡± He said this while getting out of his seat and making his way to where I was standing.


    ¡°Silly, do you think there is someone out there that looks like me?¡± He asked again and licked my neck with his tongue.


    My pussycat instantly became wet, and I spotted a goose bump.


    He licked my neck again and made his way to my ear. ¡°Lexi, do you think there is someone out there that looks like me?¡± he asked again and squeezed my left breast.


    Holy fuck! How was I supposed to keep standing if he kept doing this to me?


    ¡°No,¡± I said, closing my eyes as his tongue entered my earlobe.


    ¡°So, if there isn¡¯t, who was him?¡± He asked and squeezed my other breast.


    ¡°Not knowing his name made it more fun.¡±


    ¡°Fuck, those were my words,¡± he said, pushing me until my back hit his table. ¡°Do you miss me?¡± He asked while drawing my skirt up, ¡°Do you miss the starter?¡± He asked, spread my legs open, and robbed my clitoral area through my new redce pant.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡°Damnit, you¡¯re so fucking wet,¡± he said, increasing the pace at which he robbed my pussycat.


    ¡°Do you miss him?¡± He asked again.


    I wanted to say yes, but all I was able to get out was a soft moan.


    ¡°I think I know how to deal with irresponsive people,¡± he said, smirking, sliding my pants to one side, and pushing two fingers inside my pussycat.


    I arched my back as my body opened up to relive the feelings of being worshipped, started moaning, and thrust my hip to meet his fingers that were on their way to my pussycat.


    ¡°Good girl, I think your pussycat is about to swallow my fingers,¡± he joked, increasing his space.


    In, out, in, out, in, out, and without knowing what was happening, I came and oozed my fluid on his fingers with a prolonged ¡®aaaaahhhhhhh¡¯


    ¡°Did I give you permission toe?¡± He joked and licked his fingers, which were filled with my fluid. ¡°Startler also wants to explore that heat,¡± he said, and he started losing his temper when his phone rang.


    I showed my annoyance while he checked on the caller.


    ¡°It¡¯s an important call,¡± he said in a business tone, dismissing me without giving me a second look.


    I pulled down my skirt and shyly walked out of his office. I went back to my office and continued my job since there was no more lunch break for me, and I waited for his call, which never came through.


    I went home disappointedly and watched a porn video of a girl being fucked on an office table while I fingered myself and was about to hit my G-spot when a message popped up on my phone. I checked it, and it was a picture of a finger sent from an unknown number.


    I ignored it and continued with my business when another message popped up.


    ¡®How was it?¡±


    ¡®Who is this?¡± I sent it back.


    ¡®Not Knowing me makes it more fun. How was it?¡¯


    ¡®What can I do for you?¡¯


    ¡®Alot. Starting with that, your mouth is going down on Startler¡¯s


    ¡®I¡¯m not that type¡¯


    ¡®Of course you aren¡¯t, but you weren¡¯tining when my fingers were inside your pussy¡¯


    ¡®Good night¡¯ I texted and dropped my phone


    ¡®I can still smell you on my fingers, you smells incredible¡¯


    At first, I ignored the text, but Iter replied to him because that was the best thing I¡¯ve ever been told in my life.


    ¡®That was sweet of you. Good night¡±


    ¡®I¡¯m really in the mood to chat with you¡¯


    ¡®I have to wake up as early as possible tomorrow morning, so, goodnight¡¯


    ¡®Okay but before you go, let me ask you a question¡±


    ¡®Okay¡¯


    ¡®Did you know you will soon be working for me before hooking up with me that night?¡¯


    I read the message over and over again to be sure that I didn¡¯t misread it and decided not to reply.


    ¡®Who is this man? And what type of game is he trying to y with me?¡± I kept thinking until I fell asleep.

 Chapter 7

    Jason was one of the people that came to work early on Tuesday morning, which was odd, and me being one of these people made me cross paths with Jason¡¯s anger.


    He started with the files that thest secretary had left iplete and asked why I hadn¡¯t done them and why I didn¡¯t reply to hisst textst night.


    ¡°I slept off¡±


    ¡°You slept off while your boss was texting you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to. This shows how serious you really are with your work.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, sir.¡±


    ¡°I said you don¡¯t have to! And mind you, I want all those files unfailingly today.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    ¡°No but. You may go.¡±


    I went back to my office with a hectic headache and took out all the necessary files, which I knew I had no way of finishing in two days, and started going through them.


    I met up with Stephanie during lunch, and she told me a couple of things about Jason.


    ¡°I heard Mr. Stokes show his other side today.¡±


    ¡°Absolutely, I almost freaked out.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re going to get used to it.¡± Stephanie said and smiled.


    ¡°I doubt that.¡±


    ¡°Of course, you will get used to it. Everyone of us did. But I think it has something to do with Dixie.¡±


    ¡°Who is Dixie?¡±


    ¡°His girlfriend. His anger always has something to do with her.¡±


    I involuntarily spilled out the Sprite that I was about to swallow inside my tray and asked, ¡°He has a girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°Are you okay?¡±


    ¡°Of course yes. Did he really have a girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°Of course he does. Why are you affected? Don¡¯t tell me you are falling for our boss.¡±


    ¡°Absolutely not. I can¡¯t just believe that anybody can be in a rtionship with that freak.¡±


    ¡°I think freaks too deserve to be loved.¡±


    ¡°Maybe¡±


    I could hardly do anything right after that afternoon incident because the thought of Jason having a girlfriend still couldn¡¯t sit well with me.


    ¡®If he has a girlfriend that he truly loves, why is he cheating on her with me? Did he get me a job because he wanted to cheat more on his Dixie with me? If that is the case, I¡¯m going to prove him wrong. I decided to continue with my work.


    Thepany was as quiet as a graveyard when I checked the time, which was 6:32 p. m., and the fear of being the only one still in the office made me make up my mind and pack some files to work onter that night. And I was about to pick up my bag and leave when the adjoining door opened.


    I became instantly alert and prepared to defend myself if I had to.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to scare you. I brought you a burger¡± Jason said.


    ¡°Thanks, but I¡¯m not hungry.¡±


    ¡°I know you are. Have some bites.¡±


    I collected the burger, but I made no effort to eat it.


    ¡°Are you through with the files?¡± He asked and made his way to my seat.


    ¡°No, but I¡¯ve packed some to take home.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to; drop those. You need your rest.¡±


    ¡°Thanks¡±


    ¡°Seat down and eat your burger,¡± he said, motioning me to the other chair. ¡°And what drink do you care for?¡±


    ¡°Any,¡± I replied.


    He came back with two sses of wine and handed one to me, which I sipped instantly because I¡¯d been thirsty for some time.


    ¡°Wow, this tastes good.¡±


    ¡°It does¡±


    ¡°Name?¡±Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Merlot. It¡¯s my favorite.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Cool¡±


    ¡°So, how was your day?¡± He teased and gulped his drink.


    ¡°Stressful, thanks to you.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to be that hard.¡±


    ¡°But you were.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said, leaving to refill his cup.


    ¡°That sounds strangeing from my boss.¡±


    ¡°This is not a working hour.¡±


    ¡°Meaning?¡±


    ¡°Meaning right now, I¡¯m not your boss. You can call me Jason.¡±


    ¡°Like seriously?¡±


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°Noted¡±


    We chatted throughout my eating, and I was surprised when there was nothing left out of the burger.


    ¡°But you said you weren¡¯t hungry,¡± he said, and he gulped the rest of his drink.


    ¡°I thought I wasn¡¯t. I didn¡¯t know you drank this much.¡±


    ¡°Sometimes¡±


    I packed my cup for cleaning and wanted to take his when he drew me closer to him and drew my head down for a long kiss, which I couldn¡¯t resist.


    ¡°I want to fuck you,¡±  he said into my mouth.


    ¡°Likewise, but I need to get some things straight first.¡±


    ¡°Like what?¡±


    ¡°Like knowing your rtionship status.¡±


    He stared at me for some time before answering.


    ¡°I¡¯m single, but I¡¯m not ready tomit myself to a serious rtionship.¡±


    ¡°Are you sure that is the truth?¡±


    ¡°Yup. I missed you,¡± he said, drawing me more to himself.


    ¡°Who is Dixie, then?¡± I asked


    He released his hands and gave me an intense look.


    ¡°How do you know Dixie?¡± He asked quietly.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a shock to you when it was easier for you to find out who I was.¡±


    ¡°What I did was check your ID when you were in the restroom, and Iter did some background checks.¡±


    ¡°Consider mine too, for some background checking.¡±


    ¡°Lexi, joke apart, who told you about Dixie?¡±


    ¡°No one. I found out on my own, and that isn¡¯t the only thing; she also has an appointment with you on Thursday.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not what you think. Dixie isn¡¯t my girlfriend; she is just a girl I used to fuck.¡±


    ¡°Okay, but I¡¯m still worried.¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be because you are the one I want now.¡±


    ¡°And tomorrow, it¡¯s going to be someone else, and you¡¯re going to be repeating the same: ¡®Lexi isn¡¯t my girlfriend; she is just a girl I used to fuck''¡±


    ¡°What do you want?¡±


    ¡°Something that will give me hope. A rtionship¡±


    He got out of the chair instantly, as if I¡¯d burned him, and his expression once again became hard.


    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in being anybody¡¯s fool! I¡¯m not interested in a rtionship!¡± He said sharply, ¡°I can give you a ride if you¡¯re ready to go,¡± he added while making his way to his office.


    ¡°No need. I¡¯m going to order an Uber.¡±


    ¡°Ok¡±


    I got home, freshened up, and was about to go to sleep when a message popped up on my phone.


    ¡®You awake?¡¯


    I ignored the message and went under my nket when another message popped up.


    ¡®I know you¡¯re still awake. I¡¯m sorry for being a dick.


    ¡®Why should I ept your apology when you have no control over your temper¡¯


    ¡®You should and you must because I¡¯m your boss¡¯


    ¡®Okay sir, I¡¯m going to ept your apology when I¡¯m in the office tomorrow¡¯


    ¡®Are you feeling sleepy yet?¡¯


    ¡®No, you?¡¯


    ¡®Same. What is the color of the pant you¡¯re putting on?¡¯


    ¡®None. Just me and my nket¡¯


    ¡®You mean you sleep naked?¡¯


    ¡®Absolutely¡¯


    ¡®Good night¡¯ he texted


    ¡®Good night? I thought you weren¡¯t feeling sleepy yet.

 Chapter 8

    I waited for a good twenty minutes before I finally gave up and started dozing off when I heard a soft tap on my window. I slightly opened my eyes and waited for more, which followed not long after.


    I got scared, picked up my phone, and started tip-toeing out of my room to my sister¡¯s when a message popped up on my phone.


    ¡®Open the window, it¡¯s me¡¯


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± I whispered


    ¡°Can Ie in?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯ste¡±


    ¡°I know, but I don¡¯t think I can survive tonight without you.¡±


    ¡°Meaning?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s cold out here,¡± he said, dodging my question.


    ¡°Okay,e in.¡±


    I made way for him and watched as he climbed my window with ease.


    ¡°So it¡¯s true?¡± I signaled to him to lower his voice.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°So you really sleep naked?¡±


    ¡°Of course, do you think I was lying?¡±


    ¡°No. You texting me that gave me the final knockout and confirming it with my own eyes is one of my greatest achievements.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked and followed his eyes.


    Holy cow! I forgot to wrap my nket around myself when I was tip-toeing to my sister¡¯s room.


    ¡°You look cute.¡±


    ¡°Thanks,¡± I replied shyly.


    ¡°But I need to feel how cute your tight pussycat is going to be,¡± he said, pushing me to the bed.


    ¡°My sister is not far away,¡± I told him quietly.


    ¡°Ok, I¡¯m going to keep it cool,¡± he said before pushing his tongue into my mouth and stopping not long after.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to take care of youter,¡± he said. He got up, took off his clothes, got back to bed, ced himself at the entrance of my pussycat, and entered me with full force.


    ¡°Damn,¡± he murmured before pulling his dick out and pushing it in again and again.


    I opened my legs wider, raised my pussycat up to take in more of him as he was pushing himself inside my juicy pussycat, and ced my hands on his ass to pull him down on me harder.


    ¡°You going to wake your sister?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care at this moment,¡± I said as he drove his cucumber deeper inside my pussycat.


    ¡°We have to,¡± he said, reducing his pace.


    ¡°But I want that speed.¡±


    ¡°Half bread is better than none. Fuck! Turn over. I want to fuck you from behind.¡±


    I did as he ordered and pushed my butt up the way they do in porn videos because it was the first time I would be trying such a position.


    ¡°Nice ass,¡± he said, smacked me on both cheeks lightly, and entered me when I wasn¡¯t even expecting it. I think he loved surprising me.


    ¡°Oh my God,¡± I whispered aloud inside the pillow, and she came not long after.


    ¡°You almost squeezed the life out of my dick,¡± he said while racing for his own release, which came not long after.


    He rolled to the other side of the bed when he was strong enough and scanned my room for the first time.


    ¡°Wow! Your room is small, or should I say tiny?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t invite you here.¡±


    ¡°Point noted, but you didn¡¯t stop me from entering.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t stop you from entering because¡­¡±


    ¡°Because? Because? Because you wanted my dick.¡±


    ¡°Says who?¡±


    ¡°Says you. Action speaks better than words. The way your nipples stood at attention when you saw me said it all. Next time, it¡¯s going to be at my ce. My bed is bigger, and the room is better. Yours looks like that of a kindergarten.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s because of the pink color.¡±


    ¡°Why did you paint your room pink when your favorite color is ash?¡±


    ¡°My favorite color isn¡¯t ash; it¡¯s pink.¡±


    ¡°Wait, what!? But I¡¯ve never seen a pink cloth on you, not even something close to it.¡±


    ¡°I have none. It¡¯s my favorite, but it doesn¡¯t fit me.¡±


    ¡°Why won¡¯t it?¡± It will. I¡¯m sure it will.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t. I remembered trying it in grade 12 at the prom. I¡¯m still not over it yet.¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t even tell my sister. I actually wanted to, but we lost our parents the next day.


    ¡°My condolences¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m over it now, thanks to my sister.¡±


    ¡°So, it¡¯s been you and your sister all this time?¡±


    ¡°Yes. Just us and Cynthia and Pe.¡±


    ¡°And who?¡±


    ¡°Never mind¡±


    ¡°Okay. Lie on your stomach.¡±


    I did as he said instantly and wondered what was going on. He knelt down between my legs and started squeezing my cheeks.


    ¡°You got a nice ass.¡±


    ¡°You love it?¡±


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s firm.¡±


    He stopped squeezing my ass cheeks and started fingering my pussycat. In, out, in, out, in, out.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know which one you love most. My dick or my fingers?¡±


    ¡°Both¡±


    ¡°Just one¡±


    ¡°Dick¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Because it¡¯s very big and long.¡±


    ¡°Bitch!¡± He said as he pushed his dick that I wasn¡¯t aware was close to my pussy inside my pussy. ¡°I knew that was what you were going to choose.¡±N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    I was taking it in as he was giving it to me and wasn¡¯t really aware of what was happening until I felt one of his fingers in my asshole.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± I asked instantly.


    ¡°Just rx and enjoy. I¡¯m still going to fuck this tight asshole one of these days,¡± he said while pushing his finger deeper. ¡°Your pussycat is damn tight, and your asshole is going to be tighter,¡± he added, and he started moving his finger in and out of my asshole.


    The pleasure of being filled in both holes made mee up with a guttural voice, and my sister¡¯s room door opened a few secondster.


    ¡°Fuck,¡± Jason said, pulling out of me. ¡°I knew this was going to happen.¡±


    ¡°Just keep quiet; she will soon be knocking on my door.¡±


    Knock knock


    ¡°Lexi, are you okay?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m okay, sis.¡±


    ¡°What was that scream about?¡±


    ¡°I was on my way to the restroom, and I ran into the wall. It¡¯s nothing to worry about.¡±


    ¡°Just make sure to keep it cool next time. You almost gave me a heart attack.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Love you, sis.¡±


    ¡°I love you too.¡±


    We made sure to hear the sound of her door being shut before we rxed.


    ¡°Your sister really cares about you.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, because she is my mom. She has been my mom since we lost our parents.¡±


    ¡°She is great.¡±


    ¡°Thanks¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to start all over again,¡± he said while lying down on his back and motioning for me toe up, ¡°and this is going to be your punishment.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine with me,¡± I replied. I sat on him and ced his cucumber at the entrance of my vagina.


    ¡°Damn,¡± I said and watched as he closed his eyes and licked his lips as I started moving up and down on his cock.


    He ced his hands on my ass cheeks and pushed me harder on his cock. I couldn¡¯t take it in anymore, so I started moaning.


    ¡°Keep quiet, or I¡¯m going to punish you harder.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s too much.¡±


    ¡°I know. Just try to take it in quietly.¡±


    I started biting my bottom lip to keep from moaning and continued moving up and down on his cock until he forced me down harder on his cock and went rigid.


    I went to the bed, went under the nket, and checked the time before turning off themp.


    ¡°What was the time?¡± He asked


    ¡°2:15¡±


    ¡°2:15?¡±


    ¡°Yeah 2:15. How am I going to make it to work on time when it is already morning?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m giving you three hours extra, meaning you have to be in the office before twelve p. m. You know you still have to finish those files.¡±


    ¡°Thank you¡±


    *You are wee.¡±

 Chapter 9

    ¡°Lexi! Lexi! Lexi!¡± I heard my sister¡¯s voice from far away. I was in a dream.


    Knock knock


    ¡°Lexi, aren¡¯t you going to work?¡±


    Knock, knock, knock, knock.


    ¡°Lexi! Lexi! Lexi!¡± She thundered, and that got to me.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I answered sluggishly.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to work?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going. I will go.¡±


    ¡°You are going to bete.¡±


    Last night came back to me, and I checked the room instantly for Jason, who was gone.


    ¡°Thanks for waking me up.¡±


    ¡°You are wee. I will be on my way now.¡±


    ¡°Alright bye¡±


    ¡°Oh Lexi!¡±


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re out of groceries, so make sure to get some on your way back home. The money is on the table.¡±


    ¡°I mighte homete. So maybe you should get it instead.¡±


    ¡°Are you going out with Peter?¡±


    ¡°No. I and Peter are no longer a couple.¡±


    ¡°What!? What happened?¡± Since when?¡±


    ¡°We just decided to break up since we are no longer feeling it.¡±


    ¡°That exins why I¡¯ve not been seeing him around. Since when?¡±


    ¡°Three weeks ago¡±


    ¡°Three weeks ago?¡± And you didn¡¯t tell me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I nned to, but it always slipped out of my mind.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re going to talkter in the evening. Bye.¡±


    ¡°Bye bye¡±


    I set my rm for ten a. m. and went back to sleep.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    ¡°Good morning, Lexi,¡± Jada greeted.


    ¡°Good morning, Jada.¡±


    ¡°Are you feeling better now?¡±


    That question caught me off guard, but I thanked God that I was able to give the right answer.


    ¡°Yeah, thank you.¡±


    ¡°You are wee. And Mr. Stokes said you shoulde to his office as soon as you are around.¡±


    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±


    I went to my office to drop off my bag before knocking on his.


    ¡°Yeah,e in.¡±


    ¡°Good morning, sir.¡±


    ¡°How was your night?¡± He asked and smirked.


    ¡°Great sir¡±


    ¡°You can go back to your office.¡±


    ¡°But Jada told me you wanted to see me.¡±


    ¡°And I have seen you.¡±


    ¡®Asshole¡¯ I murmured. ¡°Ok, sir.¡±


    ¡°Oh, wait, Lexi. I want the files you are through with in my office as soon as possible.


    ¡°Okay sir¡±


    ¡°And nice skirt,¡± he added.


    ¡°Thanks,¡± I replied.


    I met up with Stephanie during lunch and ordered only Coke because I ate my breakfastte.


    ¡°I heard you weren¡¯t feeling well.¡±


    ¡°Wow! The rate at which information moves in thispany is faster than a jet.¡±


    ¡°True, and how are you feeling now?¡±


    ¡°Better,¡± I took some drugs and came to the office as soon as I was strong enough.¡±


    ¡°You want some?¡± She asked, passing me her fries.


    ¡°No thanks¡±


    ¡°Is it true that Dixie ising tomorrow?¡±


    ¡°Dixie? Who is that?¡±


    ¡°Mr. Stokes¡¯s girlfriend¡±


    ¡°Where do you get that information from?¡±


    ¡°Stop being too professional. There is no secret in thispany unless you pretend not to know.¡±


    ¡°Like seriously?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, like seriously.¡±


    I couldn¡¯t get over the fact that someone, namely Jada, gave out information about Mr. Stokes to the other employees. Because if that wasn¡¯t the case, how could Stephanie know about Dixie¡¯s appointment tomorrow afternoon, and how did she know about my being sick this morning?


    I was walking angrily to Jada¡¯s office to talk sense into her brain when my phone vibrated inside my purse.


    ¡°Peter,¡± I said quietly, and I wondered why he was calling me.


    ¡°Hello¡±


    ¡°Lexi¡±


    ¡°Yes Peter¡±


    ¡°How are you?¡±


    ¡°Fine, you?¡±


    ¡°Okay. I¡¯m just checking on you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you¡±


    ¡°And I¡¯m wondering if it is possible for us to meet this evening.¡±


    I changed my direction and went to my office instead.


    ¡°Peter, this is the first time you will be calling me in three weeks, and the next thing you want is for us to meet up. Peter, who does that? Huh, who does that?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lexi. I¡¯m sorry for not calling you. I¡¯ve actually wanted to, but I was thinking you would.¡±


    ¡°Why would you think I would?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Let¡¯s meet this evening; let¡¯s talk things out. You mean so much to me.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Seven. You will be picking me up at home.¡±


    ¡°Okay bye. Love you¡±


    ¡°Bye¡±


    I hung up the phone and almost screamed when I realized that I wasn¡¯t alone in the office.


    ¡°You scared me.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to; I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°Since when have you been here?¡±


    ¡°Not long ago¡±


    ¡°What can I do for you, sir?¡±


    ¡°I want you to go through these files,¡± he said while pointing at some files that were on my table.


    ¡°Okay¡±


    ¡°And I want them on my table first thing tomorrow morning.¡±


    ¡°Okay sir¡±


    I was through with the files by 5:55 p. m., and I decided to drop them on his table before leaving.


    I opened the adjoining door with an I don¡¯t care attitude because I knew he left about an hour ago and fell from the shock of seeing him on his seat.


    ¡°You okay?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, thank you. I didn¡¯t know you were still around,¡± I said while packing the files.


    ¡°I came back not long ago.¡±


    ¡°I just wanted to drop the files.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Drop it¡±


    I dropped it on the table, said my bye, and turned back to leave when he called me back.


    ¡°Lexi!¡±


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°Do you mind spending some more time with me in the office?¡±


    ¡°I will really love to, but I have to go.¡±


    ¡°To do what?¡±


    ¡°To buy the groceries. My sister sent me to the grocery store.¡±


    ¡°I can take you there when I¡¯m through.¡±


    ¡°That is so kind of you, but I don¡¯t want to be a burden. I will like to go by myself.¡±


    ¡°Okay, then, till tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Till tomorrow¡±


    I texted Cynthia on my way home.


    ¡®Peter called. He wants us to talk if we can work things out.


    ¡®Really? Why now?¡¯


    ¡®I¡¯m curious as well. We are going to meet this evening.


    ¡®Will you give him a second chance if he is really ready to give you what you want?¡¯


    ¡®Maybe¡¯


    ¡®WHAT!? What about Mr. CEO?¡¯


    ¡®I heard he has a girlfriend. I don¡¯t know which to believe because he said he doesn¡¯t, and he isn¡¯t even ready for a serious rtionship.


    ¡®Believe him. People like him don¡¯t lie. Why will he? He has money and connections, so why will he be lying to someone like you?


    ¡®He was at my cest night¡¯


    My phone rang a few secondster.


    ¡°I knew you were going to call.¡±


    ¡°So, what really happened?¡±N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡°We were texting each other; he stopped texting me, and thirty minutester, he was knocking on my window.¡±


    ¡°OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! Lexi, this guy really got a thing for you. That was so hot. I wish I was there.¡±


    ¡°And Judith almost caught us.¡±


    ¡°Because you guys were making too much noise.¡±


    ¡°He was cool the whole time; I was the savage one.¡±


    ¡°So, what excuse did you give Judith?¡±


    ¡°I told her I ran into a wall on my way to the restroom,¡± I said,ughing at the memory.


    ¡°Poor girl. And she believed that?¡±


    ¡°Of course, why won¡¯t she?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re going to talkter, Lexi; I really have to go.¡±


    ¡°Alright, bye. I love you.¡±


    ¡°I love you too, the CEO¡¯s secretary.¡±

 Chapter 10

    I changed into a simple gown and waited for Peter, who showed up a minute past seven.


    The whole ride was in silence and I wondered what was going on. He packed his car and we made our way to a street bench, where we have sat on several times to enjoy the evening cool breeze


    ¡°Congrattions¡±


    ¡°For what?¡±


    ¡°For being employed.¡±


    ¡°Thanks¡±


    ¡°So, how was work today?¡±


    ¡°Great¡±


    ¡°So Lexi¡± he said and breathed in and out heavily


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for not being able to satisfy you. I understand your pain and I¡¯m ready to give in to you¡±


    I was shocked by hismitment but I wasn¡¯t feeling the spark I once felt for him


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yes. I¡¯ve thought about it and I realized that you are right. I¡¯m ready to do anything for you. I love you¡±


    I hugged him instead because I couldn¡¯t say those words back to him. Not after tasting the startler


    ¡°I love you so much Lexi. I¡¯m going to do everything you want if you want me back¡±


    I wanted to tell him the truth but I couldn¡¯t. Not when he was ready to do everything I wanted. Not when I could feel how much he loved me


    I released him to look at his face, but he took it as a sign for him to kiss me.


    He put his lips on mine and pushed his tongue inside my mouth the same way Jason did, but I felt nothing. I wondered if it would have been different if this had happened some weeks back.


    My phone rang inside my purse and I thanked God for the interruption. It was a message from Jason


    ¡®Are you still at the grocery store?¡¯


    ¡®Yeah¡¯


    ¡®Okay then, good night¡¯Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    ¡®Good night¡¯


    ¡°Who was that?¡± Peter asked


    ¡°Judith. She needs my help¡±


    ¡°So, are we back together now?¡±


    ¡°Let me think about it¡±


    ¡°There is nothing to think about Lexi. It¡¯s not as if you¡¯re just meeting me¡±


    ¡°I know but I still have to think about it¡±


    ¡°Okay, let me drop you off¡±


    ¡°No need, I will take a taxi¡±


    I got back home and went straight to my room to escape Judith¡¯s advise when my phone started ringing. It was Peter


    ¡°Hello¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just checking to see if you are home¡±


    ¡°Yeah thank you¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re wee. I love you¡±


    ¡°Bye¡± I replied and hung up


    I got to work as early as possible on Thursday morning to cover up for the hours I missed yesterday but met Jason¡¯s anger instead.


    Everything was as it was on Tuesday morning but this time around, I guessed the anger was directed to me personally.


    ¡°One of the files you put on my table yesterday is missing¡±


    ¡°Sir?¡±


    ¡°You heard me clearly¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯m sure I put everything on your table sir¡±


    ¡°So I¡¯m making it up, right? I¡¯m making it up¡±


    ¡°No you¡¯re not, I don¡¯t mean it that way¡±


    ¡°So maybe you should exin better¡±


    ¡°I mean, I thought I put everything on your table, maybe I didn¡¯t. Maybe I mistakenly drop it on my table¡±


    ¡°So, what you¡¯re trying to say is that you are not capable of doing your job, right?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry sir¡±


    ¡°Get the file now!¡±


    I rushed out of his office to mine and started searching for the file, which was no where to be found. I was running out of time and I was panicking


    ¡°Lexi! Leeexi! How could you be so careless? Is this how you are going to lose your job?¡± I was asking myself


    ¡°So, you are going to be jobless one more time? You are going to go back to being unemployed, right? Is that what you want? Feeding dogs, watching movies and sleeping. You¡­¡±


    The office phone rang and I picked it up instantly


    ¡°This is Lexi from Stokes enterprise, what can I do for you?¡±


    ¡°Come inside¡± Jason ordered


    I was reluctant to go but I knew I had to. So, I entered his office in slow motion


    ¡°So, where is the file?¡±


    ¡°Sir, I¡¯m still searching for it¡±


    ¡°How could you be so careless Lexi!? I gave you something some hours ago and right now, it¡¯s nowhere to be found¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m sure it¡¯s in my office. Please sir, just give me some more time to look for it¡±


    ¡°Okay but the file must be on my table before noon¡±


    ¡°Okay sir¡± I replied and started rushing to my office when he called me back


    ¡°Lexi!¡±


    ¡°Sir¡±


    ¡°I think you need to be punished for being careless¡±


    My heart cracked instantly upon hearing those words and I wondered what my punishment was going to be


    ¡°Come here¡± he said while motioning me to his side ¡°on your knees¡± hemanded


    I did as he ordered and knew what wasing before it happened.


    He unzipped his trouser and pulled down his boxer to unleash the beast. It was even more bigger than I thought in full daylight and I was already drenched even though I was under punishment


    ¡°Suck it¡± hemanded


    I put my hand on it for stroking but  he stopped me


    ¡°Just your mouth and your tongue¡± he said ¡°Put your hands behind your back¡± hemanded while getting up and unfastening his tie.


    ¡± I think I will be punishing you myself¡± I did as he wanted and he used his unfastened tie to bound my hands on my back.


    ¡°Open your mouth¡± hemanded


    I did as he wanted, then he started hammering his dick in and out of my mouth with a brutal pace. He held my head firmly and continued to pushed his cock inside my mouth until I could feel it at the back of my throat


    ¡°This¡­ mouth¡­ is mine¡­ alone. I¡¯m the¡­ only one¡­ that has¡­ ess¡­ to it¡±


    I started gagging and I could hardly breathe. In, out, in, out, in, out, he continued banging


    ¡°This is¡­ what¡­ you¡­ get for¡­ being careless¡­ with¡­ my file. It¡¯s going¡­ to teach.. you a lesson¡± he was saying between each thrust


    ¡°Are you going to be careless with my things next time?¡± He asked and stopped.


    I used the opportunity to breathe in at a rapid pace before answering


    ¡°No¡±


    ¡°No what?¡±


    ¡°No sir¡±


    ¡°My things includes my files, your mouth, your breasts, your pussy. Everything you have is mine, understand?¡±


    ¡°Yes sir¡±


    ¡°Understand?¡±


    ¡°Yes sir¡±


    He bent down, losed my hands and went back to his seat


    ¡°Nowe here and suck me¡± he said in a cool voice


    I shifted to where he was sitting and took his dick inside my mouth the way I liked it. I put my hands on his thighs to avoid touching him and started moving up and down on his cock until I felt his hote in my mouth.


    ¡°Yeah. Swallow it all¡± hemanded


    I showed him my mouth that was full of his sperm, closed it, and opened it again


    ¡°Yeah, that is my girl. Come here¡±


    He bent down and gave me a deep kiss, tasting hise in my mouth andter handed me his handkerchief to clean my face


    ¡°That is what you get for being careless. Now you can go back to your office¡±


    I was on my way to my office when he stopped me again


    ¡°Oh! Wait, give this to Jada¡±


    I collected the file and left his office without turning back

 Chapter 11

    I went back to my office to continue the search for the file, which Iter found in another file on my table.


    ¡°Howe?¡± I thought


    I took it out, matched it to his office, and dropped it off with an I don¡¯t care attitude.


    ¡°What is that?¡± He asked


    ¡°The file,¡± I answered, and I went back to my office without looking back, even though I could feel his eyes on me with every step I was taking.


    Later in the day, Cynthia sent a text to me, and I was about to reply when a very tall and beautiful youngdy came into my office.


    ¡°Good afternoon. How can I help you?¡± I asked with my professional smile pressed to my face.


    The woman gave me an irritated look and said just one word, which broke my heart.


    ¡°Dixie¡±


    ¡®So she is Dixie. I was hoping she wouldn¡¯te.


    Ipared myself to her, and I knew I had no chance ofpeting with her.


    After spending an hour with him in his office, they left, and Dixie waved and winked at me on their way out.


    ¡®What was that supposed to mean?¡¯


    I went to my lunch break with the thought of what they might be doing at the back of my mind and ordered a cake and a Fanta while waiting for Stephanie.


    ¡®Where are you?¡¯ I texted Jason and waited for his reply, which never came through.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry foringte,¡± Stephanie said while drawing out a chair.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay¡±


    We started chatting as usual, but my mind wasn¡¯t really in it because I kept checking my phone for his call or message.


    ¡°Are you expecting something?¡± Stephanie asked


    ¡°Sorry?¡±


    ¡°I mean, are you waiting for a call or something? because you¡¯ve been checking your phone for some time now.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, my sister¡¯s,¡± I said with a fake smile.


    ¡°Hope everything is okay.¡±


    ¡°Yeah¡±


    ¡°I might visit you this weekend, if you don¡¯t mind.¡±


    ¡°Of course I don¡¯t. I will be really happy to have you over.¡±


    ¡°And is it possible for me to sleep over at your ce because my boyfriend is visiting his sick uncle this weekend and I don¡¯t want to be alone?¡±


    ¡°With maximum pleasure.¡±


    We finished our lunch, and I sent him another text on my way back to the office.


    ¡®Will you being back to the office?¡¯


    ¡®No¡¯ he texted back.


    ¡®What was that supposed to mean?¡¯


    Peter called me a couple of times on my way home, but I ignored them because I couldn¡¯t tell him the truth.


    I continued my Adam Lee season movie when I got home and kept hoping that Jason¡¯s message was going to pop up on my phone, which never happened.


    I gave up some minutes to midnight with the thought of what they might be doing on my mind.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    ¡°How dare youe close to my man?¡± Dixie asked and hit me across the face.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about,¡± I said back.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare talk back to me, you liar,¡± she said, and she hit me across the face once more.


    ¡°You are nothing but someone he fucks when he wants,¡± I said back angrily.


    ¡°Do you think a little trash like you cane between us? I and Jason have been together since high school, and who are you toe between us?¡±


    ¡°I might be nobody, but that doesn¡¯t change the fact that he doesn¡¯t love you.¡±


    ¡°Pringles! Pringles!¡± She called, and Jason showed up from nowhere and winked at me. ¡°Let¡¯s show her how strong our love is,¡± she directed to him.


    She moved closer to him, and they started kissing until I couldn¡¯t take it anymore.


    ¡°NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!¡± I screamed


    ¡°Lexi! Lexi! Lexi!¡± Judith was calling from far away, ¡°Lexi, open this door! Alexi!¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± I answered sluggishly.


    ¡°Open this door. What is wrong?¡±


    ¡°Nothing. Just a bad dream.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Get up; you¡¯re going to bete.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Good morning¡±


    ¡°Good morning¡±


    ¡®That wasn¡¯t true. That was just a dream. Jason didn¡¯t like her. I started convincing myself in the bathroom.


    I wasn¡¯t really eager to go to work today since Jason ignored my yesterday¡¯s texts, but I went because that may be a step toward losing everything.


    Jason arrived not long after my arrival and waved at me on his way to his office, which I didn¡¯t return to because I was still battling with the thought of what might have happened between them throughoutst night.


    ¡®Will I find a hickey on him?¡¯ I thought


    I went to his office with a straight face when he called me in and dropped the document he asked for.


    ¡°It seems as if someone isn¡¯t in a good mood today.¡± He said it and smiled.


    ¡°And it seems as if someone is too happy this morning?¡±


    ¡°Alexi,e on, sit down, and tell me what is wrong,¡± he said worriedly.


    ¡°I¡¯m okay, sir.¡±


    ¡°You are not. I know something is bothering you.¡±


    I drew out the chair and sat in front of him.


    ¡°I¡¯m all ears.¡±


    ¡°Where were you yesterday? I asked


    He looked at me, as if I¡¯d gone mad before speaking.


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, you asked me what was wrong, and I¡¯m telling you what was wrong.¡±


    ¡°I owe you no exnation.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, of course, yeah,¡± I said sarcastically. ¡°You can own me, my boobies, my pussycat, and my mouth, but I can¡¯t even ask you about where you were yesterday,¡±  I said with demonstrations.


    ¡°Why are you so concerned about where I was yesterday?¡±


    ¡°Because my mind is telling me that you were cheating on me the whole time.¡±


    ¡°Lexi, get something straight. One: I owe you no exnation about where I was yesterday. Two, I am not in a rtionship with you, and three, it¡¯s not as if you aren¡¯t seeing other men.¡±


    ¡°What! What do you mean by that statement?¡±


    ¡°Stop the crocodile tears, Lexi, because they won¡¯t work on me. I saw you with that guy on the street; you were kissing him, but you said you were in a grocery store.¡±


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t kissing him. He kissed me.¡±


    ¡°Either way, you didn¡¯t stop him.¡±


    ¡°How dare you stalk me?¡±


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t stalking you. I just wanted to make sure that you are as innocent as you imed to be, but to cut a long story short, my innocent girl isn¡¯t as innocent as she ims to be.¡±


    ¡°Liar! You are a liar. You have been stalking me since the first day, and the only reason you employed me was because you wanted more.¡±


    ¡°Tell me you didn¡¯t enjoy them.¡± He asked and smirked.


    ¡°Fuck you,¡± I said, and I pped him across the face while Jada entered.


    Jada was shocked, but I don¡¯t give a damn about her reaction. I ran out of his office to mine and took my bag without looking at it. Stokes enterprise was over for me.


    I texted Cynthia as soon as I was in a taxi.


    ¡®I got fired¡±Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡®What!? What happened!? Howe!?¡¯


    ¡®I fired myself¡¯


    ¡®Now, you are not making sense¡¯


    ¡®I¡¯m gonna exin to you better in the evening. Are your keys still where you used to keep them?¡¯


    ¡®Yes. Feel at home. I will be joining you as soon as possible.


    ¡®Alright. Thank you¡¯


    ¡®Bye¡¯

 Chapter 12

    I pulled out some Doritos once I was in her apartment and sat in front of her TV to continue my Adam Lee movie since she already had the movie.


    A few hourster, Peter texted me, ¡®Thinking about you¡¯ which I ignored. I continued my movie and had already started enjoying being unemployed when another message popped up on my phone.


    ¡®Where the hell are you?¡¯ from Jason


    ¡°Arrogant asshole,¡± I murmured and continued my movie.


    ¡®Why are you not in your office?¡¯


    ¡°Ask me one more time,¡± I said with a mouthful of Doritos.


    ¡®Lexi, for God sake where are you?¡¯


    ¡®I owe you no exnation¡¯ I texted back.


    ¡®Lexi, I¡¯m sorry. Juste back to the office; let¡¯s talk it out.


    ¡®There is nothing to talk about sir. I fired myself¡¯ I texted back and switched off my phone.


    ¡°Lexi, what is wrong with you?¡± My subconscious asked me, ¡°Why are you behaving like this? You want a job; he gave you one with good sex. What else do you want?¡±Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°I know what I want, and I know what I don¡¯t want. I don¡¯t want to be anybody¡¯s good fuck; I want something more. I want to be respected, loved, and cared for,¡± I replied back, ¡°and I don¡¯t want all those from another man but Jason because he is the one I love.¡±


    ¡°Love!? Since when?¡± My subconscious asked


    ¡°Since¡­ I don¡¯t know. I think since our first night together,¡± I replied.


    ¡°But he doesn¡¯t love you.¡±


    ¡°I know. That¡¯s why I won¡¯t be working for him anymore.¡±


    ¡°And you think that is going to work?¡±


    ¡°That is the only solution that I know of. You get a better solution?¡±


    Atst, Cynthia came back from work, looked at the situation in her sitting room, and shook her head.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you are enjoying this.¡± She asked


    ¡°What do you expect me to do? Kill myself?¡± I replied with a mouthful of Doritos.


    ¡°Did you really fire yourself, or did you get fired?¡±


    ¡°I fired myself.¡±


    ¡°And you¡¯refortable with being jobless again?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I would rather be jobless than continue working for that arrogant bitch.¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡± She asked


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you would have done the same.¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°He got under my skin. I caught him cheating on me, and he wasfortable with it. He was telling me he owed me no exnation. How do you expect me to continue working for such a man?¡±


    ¡°Did you catch him red-handed?¡±


    ¡°No, I suspected him, but he didn¡¯t deny it,¡± I said with a mouthful.


    ¡°Stop eating like that; it¡¯s annoying.¡±


    ¡°Because I¡¯m jobless doesn¡¯t mean that I should starve myself to death,¡± I said with another mouthful.


    ¡°Did he really say he cheated?¡±


    ¡°No, he didn¡¯t say it that way; he just said he owes me no exnation.¡±


    ¡°And that makes you think he cheated?¡±


    ¡°Wait, whose side are you on?¡± I said it with a mouthful to annoy her more.


    ¡°I said you should stop eating that way; it¡¯s annoying.¡±


    ¡°I said, whose side are you on!?¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute! Alexi, don¡¯t tell me those are my Doritos.¡±


    ¡°Who else would they be?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me, are you mine?¡± She asked again while getting up to confirm it.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to stress yourself; they are yours.¡±


    ¡°You know I don¡¯t joke with my Doritos, right?¡±


    ¡°This was exactly what it felt like when you ate all my chocte cookies in college.¡±


    ¡°That was a long time ago.¡±


    ¡°Long but not forgotten, today is pay-back day. Please get me a Coke on your way back here.¡±


    ¡°Get it yourself.¡±


    ¡°Are you that mad?¡± I joked


    ¡°Extremely¡±


    I turned on my phone around six in the evening and sent Judith a quick message that I would be spending the night with Cynthia because I had the feeling that Jason woulde visiting, and I was about to turn it back off when his messages came rolling in.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you really want to talk to me?¡±


    ¡°I have a two hours meeting to attend right now, I will call you as soon as possible¡±


    Thatst message was sent at 3:45 p. m., which means he will be calling at any moment from now on. I turned off my phone immediately because I didn¡¯t want to take chances.


    We continued the movie and made sure to finish the season before going to bed.


    ¡°Will he really die for her?¡± Cynthia asked me while we were getting ready for bed.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t know what is going to happen if Adam Lee dies,¡± I replied.


    In thest episode we watched, Adam Lee had to make a choice. Either he chooses the wicked princess, Emily, and lives, or Jessica, the poor girl he loves, dies.


    ¡°Who do you think he will choose?¡± Cynthia asked


    ¡°It¡¯s a very thoughtful decision. I don¡¯t want him to die, and I don¡¯t want him to choose Emily.¡±

 Chapter 13

    I turned on my phone as soon as I woke up on Saturday morning, took my bath and brush my teeth with an extra toothbrush and was on my way to the living room to continue the movie when my phone started ringing, it was an unknown number.


    ¡°Hello¡± I said calmly


    ¡°Where were youst night?¡± Jason¡¯s angry voice asked


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business¡±


    ¡°You weren¡¯t in your roomst night¡±


    ¡°You have no right to enter my room without my permission¡±


    ¡°I have every right because you are mine¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not yours! I¡¯m nobody¡¯s property!¡±


    ¡°Lexi, I¡¯m waiting for you across the street in front of your house. Come let¡¯s talk¡± he said calmly


    ¡°I¡¯m busy right now¡± I said while Cynthia took a seat beside me ¡°I¡¯m with my girlfriend¡±


    ¡°Wait! what!? Girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°Yeah girlfriend¡±


    ¡°But you aren¡¯t into girls, are you?¡± He asked with trembling voice


    ¡°I owe you no exnation, ex boss¡± I replied and hung up on him


    ¡°That guy is really into you¡± Cynthia said


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. He doesn¡¯t want tomit himself¡±


    ¡°Because he is scared you are going to break his heart or date him for his money.¡±


    ¡°But I won¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t know that.¡±


    ¡°What do you think I should do?¡±


    ¡°Give him what he wants.¡±


    ¡°You mean I should be his fuck buddy?¡±


    ¡°Call it whatever you want, but it¡¯s hot.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re unbelievable¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m incredible¡±


    A few hourster, we heard knocks on the door.


    I paused the movie and asked Cynthia, ¡°Are you expecting someone?¡±


    ¡°Not that I¡¯m aware of,¡± she replied, and she got up to open the door.


    ¡°Lexi! Someone is looking for you,¡± she said quietly, as if she couldn¡¯t believe what was happening.


    ¡°Who?¡± I asked while getting up but got no reply. I couldn¡¯t believe my eyes when I saw the person at the door, and I pretended to be angry at him even though I was happy.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± I asked him in a semi-quiet voice.


    ¡°Thank you very much, Cynthia,¡± Jason said. He got hold of my hand and started pulling me to his car.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going with you,¡± I started saying while using my other hand to free myself.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡±


    ¡°This is kidnapping. I¡¯m going to sue you for kidnapping.¡±


    I looked back at Cynthia, who was still standing at the door, and screamed, ¡°Cynthia, save me! Save me, Cynthia!¡± But all she did was wave at me


    ¡°Stop screaming, or I¡¯m going to shut you up in front of your girlfriend,¡± he said quietly.


    ¡°You think you can have me wherever you want, huh?¡±


    ¡°Yes, of course, I can have you wherever and whenever I want because you are mine.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m saying it again; I¡¯m not yours.¡±


    ¡°Get inside the car,¡± he said, ¡°or do you want me to force you inside?¡± he added, freeing my hand.


    ¡°Fine,¡± I said in surrender, and I entered the car.


    He entered the car and started it.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t let me pick my bag.¡±


    ¡°My driver wille for it.¡±


    The drive to his house was in silence, and I couldn¡¯t hold it in when I saw how big his house was.


    ¡°Wow! This is beautiful.¡±


    ¡°I know,¡± he said, smirking.


    I gave him the eye and got out of his car with no further ttering.


    ¡°Feel at home,¡± he said when we were finally inside.


    ¡°This is not my home,¡± I replied, but he pretended not to hear.


    ¡°What do you care for?¡±


    ¡°I think apples will do.¡±


    He came back a few minutester with a crate of apples.


    ¡°Who do you think I am? A savage?¡±


    ¡°You said apples.¡±


    ¡°Not a crate of apples.¡±


    Something vibrated inside my stomach, and I almost had a heart attack.


    ¡°What is it?¡± He asked worriedly


    ¡°My phone,¡± I replied.


    I¡¯ve forgotten that I kept my phone inside Cynthia¡¯s jacket that I was putting on. I took it out, and it was a text from Cynthia.


    ¡®That was so hot! What¡¯s happening now?¡¯


    ¡®You are a betrayal. You betrayed our friendship¡¯


    ¡®What do you expect me to do? That guy is really into you. Did he kiss you when you got inside the car?¡¯


    ¡®No but I¡¯m at his house now ¡® I replied


    ¡®WHAT!? How big is his bed?¡±


    I ignored the message and raised my head to see Jason staring at me.


    ¡°Stop staring at me,¡± I said to him.


    ¡°You¡¯re beautiful,¡± he said.


    I dropped my phone on the couch I was sitting on and took an apple from the crate.


    ¡°Thank you¡±


    ¡°You are wee.¡±


    My phone vibrated on the couch; it was a message from Cynthia.


    ¡®I¡¯m waiting for your reply. How big is his bed?¡¯


    ¡®I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ve not seen it yet.


    ¡®What!? That is where you are supposed to be now.


    ¡®We will talkter¡¯


    ¡®But, I¡¯m bored¡¯


    ¡®Take some ice out of the freezer, break them into smaller pieces, eat them and go to sleep. Bye¡¯


    I put my phone on ¡®do not disturb¡¯ and put it back on the couch.


    ¡°Are you through with texting?¡± Jason asked


    ¡°What do you care?¡± I asked back while taking a bite from my apple.


    ¡°Are you that mad at me?¡±


    ¡°Of course, very. You told me you owned me, but I don¡¯t have the right to know your whereabouts.¡±


    ¡°Why do you have the impression that I was with her that day?¡± He said this while taking an apple.


    ¡°My gut¡±


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t with her. We went our different ways, but I saw you with him. You were kissing him.¡±


    ¡°That wasn¡¯t what happened.¡±


    ¡°Exin to me what happened. I saw you with him.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not denying it, but that wasn¡¯t what happened.¡±


    ¡°Tell me what happened.¡±


    ¡°That guy is Peter; he is my ex. We went to college together. We have dated for five years, and we just broke up.¡±


    ¡°When?¡±


    ¡°Some weeks ago. He wanted me back. That was what the meeting was all about.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re back with him now?¡±


    ¡°No. I told him I would think about it.¡±


    ¡°Do you still have feelings for him?¡±


    ¡°What do you care? It¡¯s not as if you are interested in a rtionship¡±


    ¡°Do you still have feelings for him?¡± He asked harder.


    ¡°No, but I don¡¯t know how to tell him that. I don¡¯t want to break his heart.¡±


    ¡°So you are still dating him?¡±


    ¡°No! Hell no! I told him I would think about it.¡±


    ¡°What are you still thinking about when you already know the answer?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡±


    ¡°And that girl is Cynthia?¡±


    ¡°Yes. How do you know her address? How do you know about her?¡±


    ¡°I have eyes everywhere.¡±


    ¡°You are a first-ss stalker.¡±


    ¡°I will do anything to have you under my roof.¡±


    ¡°And you think I like being under your roof?¡±


    ¡°Why won¡¯t you? When you like my dick inside your pussy.¡±


    ¡°Fuck you¡±


    ¡°I know you want to, baby.¡±


    ¡°Asshole¡±


    ¡°Do you want us to start with that?¡±


    I gave him the bad eyes and continued eating my apple.


    ¡°Are you really into girls?¡± He asked with a serious face.


    ¡°Yes. What do you care?¡± I yed along.


    ¡°But you don¡¯t look like someone who is into girls.


    ¡°Am I supposed to write it on my forehead?¡±


    ¡°No. I don¡¯t mean it that way. I¡¯m just¡­ So Cynthia is more than a friend to you.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, but we are not in a rtionship.¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    He shocked his head in understanding and got up.


    ¡°What drink do you care for?¡±


    ¡°Coke or Sprite¡±

 Chapter 14

    ¡°I will be leaving soon because of my sister,¡± I said to him.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to because I¡¯ve sent her a message that you will be going on a business trip with me this weekend.¡±


    ¡°You did what!? She isn¡¯t someone you can mess with. She is my family.¡±


    ¡°I know. I wasn¡¯t messing with her.¡±


    ¡°Of course, you were!¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were going to be this mad; I just wanted us to spend some time together, but since you don¡¯t want to, you can call her and tell her that the trip is cancelled.¡±


    ¡°Is that what you¡¯re supposed to say?¡±


    ¡°What do you expect me to say? I told you I wasn¡¯t messing with her.¡±


    ¡°Of course, you aren¡¯t messing with her, but her younger sister.¡±


    ¡°Are you always this mad?¡± he asked, got out of his seat, and started making his way to me.


    ¡°Yeah. Whenever you are involved,


    ¡°But you were this sweet girl during our first night.¡±


    ¡°That was because I didn¡¯t know that you were such an asshole.¡±


    ¡°Are you sending me a signal that I¡¯m not getting?¡± He asked with a cocky smile.


    ¡°Asshole¡±


    ¡°Do you want us to start with that? I¡¯m an ass man,¡± he said, putting his mouth on mine.


    I wanted to push him away, but I couldn¡¯t. Not with that tongue that was moving round and round inside my mouth, and I moved closer to him to give him more ess to my mouth.


    ¡°I think I¡¯ve found a way of shutting you up,¡± he said into my mouth.


    ¡°Shut up,¡± I said back.


    I changed my position on the couch andid down to give him more ess to my body.


    ¡°You are always eager,¡± he said while adjusting his position toy down on me.


    ¡°Tell me you are not.¡±


    He unbuttoned my jacket and pulled my boobies out of my bra. I took one into his mouth while squeezing the other, and I moved my hand downward until I reached his trouser, unzipped it, pulled his eight-inch cucumber out, and started stroking it.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going tost long if you continue doing that,¡± he said.


    ¡°Should I stop?¡± I asked him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t fucking stop, baby. Don¡¯t fucking¡­ stop. You¡¯re going to be the death of me.¡±


    I put in more speed and effort into stroking him while staring into his eyes, as lust was fully written on them.


    ¡°I can¡¯t hold it any longer. I need to bury myself in you,¡± he said while getting up to take off his clothes.


    I pulled off my clothes within seconds,id back down on the couch with my legs spread open, and watched as he got out of his clothes in his full glory.


    Heid back down on me, positioned his head at my entrance, rested his weight on his hands, and entered me with one forceful thrust.


    ¡°Ohhhhhhhhh!¡± I moaned


    ¡°You like it? He asked as he started pounding himself away inside of me. ¡°You like it?¡±


    ¡°Fuck yes,¡± I moaned back.


    ¡°Oh, fuck, baby.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­. oh¡­. oh¡­. oh¡­. oh¡­ oh¡­¡± I continued moaning as he kept pushing in and pulling out the starter.


    ¡°Fuck,¡± he grunted, pulled out of me, and spread my legs wider to get a better view of my pussy before burying his face in it.


    I arched my back up, closed my eyes, and moaned as his tongue slid inside my pussycat.


    ¡°Oh my God!¡± I said it with an empty brain.


    He stopped tongue-fucking me and started sucking on my clitoris softly until I came into his mouth.


    ¡°Turn over,¡± hemanded.


    I did as he said.


    ¡°On your knees. Your ass up,¡± he added.


    I went on my knees instantly, with my butt widely spread, and I licked my lips as he entered me in slow motion.


    In, out, in, out, in, out, he continued in slow motion until he finally came.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    I called my sister around three in the afternoon and gave her a better exnation of why I wouldn¡¯t be around until Monday afternoon before calling Cynthia, who wanted a full story of everything that happened.


    ¡°We will talkter,¡± I said to Cynthia.


    ¡°Just answer me, was it on the bed? How big is the bed?¡±


    ¡°No, and I don¡¯t know,¡± I replied, and I hung up before she could ask me any more questions.


    ¡°Girlfriend?¡± Jason asked


    ¡°Yeah¡±


    ¡°Missing you?¡±


    ¡°Seems so¡±


    ¡°Joke apart, Lexi, are you really doing girls?¡±


    ¡°Yeah. Why did you ask?¡±


    ¡°Nothing,¡± he replied, and he focused back on his documentary.


    ¡°You like it?¡± I asked and shifted more toward him.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Documentary¡±


    ¡°Yeah. You?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not really a fan.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yeah¡±


    ¡°What do you like?¡±


    ¡°Movies and music, and sometimes I read books.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have time for movies, but I listen to music. Who are your favorite artists and actors?¡±


    ¡°Batch and Adam Lee¡±


    ¡°Batch, I¡¯ve heard of Adam Lee, but I don¡¯t know of him. Is he popr in the industry?¡±N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡°Yeah. Very. He is a very good and popr actor. You not knowing him is like a p on my face.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to hurt your feelings,¡± he said, drawing me closer to himself.


    My stomach growled loudly at that particr point.


    ¡°I think someone is hungry.¡± Jason jokingly said, ¡°What do you care for?¡±


    ¡°Anything. So far, it¡¯s food; I¡¯m good.¡±


    ¡°Anything is nothing.¡±


    ¡°Anything¡±


    Jason finally ordered some fried chicken and yellow squash casserole, which we ate with his favorite drink, Melot.

 Chapter 15

    ¡°We are going somewhere tomorrow evening,¡± Jason dered after another round of sex, which ended up on his King-size bed.


    ¡°Where?¡± I asked while facing him on the bed.


    ¡°Wait and see, and your bag is in the closet.¡±


    ¡°Okay, but where are we going tomorrow evening?¡±


    ¡°Wait and see,¡± he repeated.


    ¡°I¡¯m asking because I have no clothes here with me.¡±


    ¡°I ordered some for you. They are in the closet,¡± he answered cockily before shifting closer to me.


    ¡°Howe you know my size?¡±


    ¡°You asked too many questions,¡± he replied, giving me a peck on my forehead.


    ¡°Are you doing that to shut me up?¡± I asked while looking him straight in the eye.


    ¡°Is it working?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± I lied.


    ¡°Do you want me to try again?¡±


    ¡°No, and less I forget, are you always alone in this house?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, most times.¡±


    ¡°And the other few times?¡±


    ¡°With friends¡±


    ¡°You have friends?¡± I asked unbelievably.


    ¡°Yeah. What do you expect?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that there are people out there that can cope with you.¡±


    ¡°Why won¡¯t they cope with me? I¡¯m handsome. I¡¯m nice. I¡¯m rich. I¡¯m hot,¡± he stated with a full-blown ego.


    ¡°And you¡¯re an egomaniac,¡± I added.


    ¡°Yes, I am when ites to you.¡±


    ¡°You think that is going to work on me?¡±


    ¡°Tell me it is not,¡± he said, pulling me on top of him for another round.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    ¡°This can¡¯t be real.¡± I said unbelievably while going through the clothes Jason talked aboutst night, ¡°This can¡¯t be happening. Jason! Jason!¡± I called


    ¡°Yes,¡± he replied from the bedroom. ¡°What is wrong, Lexi?¡± He asked worriedly before joining me in the closet.


    ¡°Where are the clothes you talked aboutst night?¡±


    ¡°Right in front of your eyes.¡±


    ¡°Where?¡±


    ¡°In front of you, Lexi.¡±


    ¡°I see nothing here but some childish pinky clothes.¡±


    ¡°They are exactly what I got you. Choose one and let it start going,¡± he said as if everything were fine.


    ¡°Choose one from what? This? How do you expect me to wear this type of color? It¡¯s not my thing! I told you it¡¯s not my thing!¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    ¡°You told me it¡¯s your favorite color.¡±


    ¡°We don¡¯t always have everything we want in life.¡±


    ¡°You can have anything and everything as long as you are with me.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t understand. I can¡¯t put this on. I¡¯m sorry. I can wait until youe back or go back home.¡±


    ¡°Lexi, try it on first.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t¡±


    ¡°You can, if you want to. You¡¯re beautiful and sexy, and I¡¯m sure they are going to look good on you. I bought them for you. They are all yours,¡± he said calmly.


    ¡°You don¡¯t understand. I¡¯m still not over what happened during my prom.¡±


    ¡°Forget about that. Forget about the past. What matters is the present and the future. Try them on and let¡¯s see if they wouldn¡¯t look good on you.¡±


    Iter decided to wear a cocktail pink dress, which Jason couldn¡¯t get enough of.


    ¡°How long is the drive?¡± I asked on our way to the garage.


    ¡°Twenty-five to thirty minutes,¡± he replied, did a double take, and pushed me to a wall. ¡°I would have taken you back to my bed, pulled this gown up, and fucked you till tomorrow if this wasn¡¯t important,¡± he said, giving me a soft kiss on the lips before releasing me.


    ¡°How important is it? Is it a business meeting?¡±


    ¡°You asked too many questions.¡±


    We were ten minutes away from our destination when Jason¡¯s phone started ringing.


    ¡°Hello,¡± Jason said, but I couldn¡¯t hear anything from the other side.


    ¡°I¡¯m on my way.¡±


    ¡°In few¡±


    ¡°Okay¡±


    ¡°Bye,¡± and then he hung up.


    We pulled up in front of a very beautiful building, and I stood on a spot to take in how beautiful the house was while Jason handed his car key to a chauffeur.


    ¡°It¡¯s beautiful, right?¡± Jason asked, taking me back to reality.


    ¡°Yeah. Very,¡± I replied. ¡°Do one of your friends live here?¡±


    ¡°No¡±


    ¡°Is the house yours?¡±


    ¡°No, my parents,¡± he replied.


    ¡°Wait! What!? You brought me to your parents house!? For what!?¡±


    ¡°Act as professionally as possible,¡± he said, ignoring my questions. ¡°They are waiting for us inside. And mind you, I do the talking.¡±


    ¡°Stop acting like my boss right now. I didn¡¯t sign up for this,¡± I snapped.


    ¡°Exin to me what you signed up for, Miss Tyler.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sure I didn¡¯t sign up for this, Mr. Stokes.¡±


    ¡°Stop the drama, Lexi; they are waiting for us inside.¡±


    I acted like an obedient dog and followed him with no furtherints.


    ¡°Oh, sweetie,¡± a slim, short woman said with a smiling face while rushing to hug Jason at the entrance, with an older and taller version of Jason on her trail. ¡°How have you been?¡±


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine,¡± Jason replied while trying to free himself from her tight hug. ¡°Mom, this is Lexi Tyler, my new secretary,¡± he introduced, diverting everyone¡¯s attention to me, and Jason¡¯s mom¡¯s expression changed from the lively one to a deadly one, followed by his father¡¯s curious expression.


    ¡°Good evening,¡± I said as professionally as I could in that situation.


    ¡°What is your secretary doing here?¡± His mom asked with a very strong,manding tone.


    ¡°What is the big deal abouting with her to your birthday?¡± Jason joked, went past his parents, and motioned for me to follow him, which I did instantly.


    ¡°Jason! It¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯vest seen each other,¡± a beautiful youngdy said as she came out of nowhere and threw herself at Jason.


    ¡°Oh! You caught me off guard, Sofia,¡± Jason said as he tried to free himself from her hug, which became impossible since Sofia wasn¡¯t letting go.


    ¡°Of course, I caught you off guard. I love catching you off guard,¡± Sofia joked,ughing at her own joke drunkenly.


    ¡°Have you been drinking?¡± Jason asked


    ¡°Yeah. I¡¯ve been darling, but I¡¯m still thirsty because the only thing that can satisfy me is down here,¡± she said, and she started moving her hand seductively to his dick.


    ¡°This is enough,¡± I told myself, and I started tiptoeing out of their view when Jason called my name.


    ¡°Lexi!¡±


    I did a u-turn and made sure to keep my eyes down before answering.


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°Who is she?¡± Sofia asked drunkenly, ¡°Is she one of the maids?¡±


    ¡°No. She is Lexi Tyler, my new secretary.¡±


    ¡°What is your secretary doing here? This celebration is for the family only.¡±


    ¡°That means you aren¡¯t supposed to be here, Sofia, because we aren¡¯t rted,¡± Jason replied before motioning for me to follow him to the dining room, where his parents were already seated.


    I sat beside Jason and prayed for the ground to just open and swallow me because of the looks Jason¡¯s mom and Sofia gave me from the other side of the table.


    ¡°What is your father¡¯s name?¡± Mr. Adrian Stokes, Jason¡¯s dad, asked me all of a sudden.


    ¡°Mr¡­¡± I wanted to reply, but when I saw Jason¡¯s eyes, I kept quiet.


    ¡°Tyler,¡± Jason replied.


    ¡°What is he doing for a living?¡±


    ¡°He iste,¡± Jason replied.


    Mr. Adrian shook his head as if he were digesting the information and focused his attention on Jason.


    ¡°Since when have you been working for Jason?¡±


    ¡°Three weeks,¡± Jason replied instantly, and Mr. Adrian once again shook his head in understanding.


    ¡°Sweetie,¡± Jason¡¯s mom called when we were almost through with our food. ¡°Sofia has some business proposals for you, so I think you should stay over to hear her out since she isn¡¯t minding to spend the night with us. Or do you care about spending the night here with us?¡± His mom asked Sofia with a lovely smile.


    ¡°I don¡¯t,¡± she replied with a flirtatious look in Jason¡¯s direction.


    ¡°She should make an appointment with my secretary,¡± Jason replied without looking up from his food, and that wiped away the flirtatious look on her face.


    ¡°Jason! Try to be reasonable. Why should she be making an appointment with your secretary when you can listen to her tonight?¡± his mother said.


    ¡°Mom, it¡¯s a business proposal, and business proposals are meant to be handled in the office.¡±


    ¡°Jason!¡± His mom called.


    ¡°Mom, stop it.¡±


    ¡°Jason, try and hear me out,¡± Sofia cajoled coquettishly.


    ¡°I will, Sofia; all you have to do is make an appointment with my secretary.¡±


    ¡°Are you doing this because of this thing?¡± his mom said, losing her temper. ¡°How do you expect me to take in this dirty bag? Gold digger!¡±


    ¡°Mom! Enough! Ate! Get me my car,¡± Jason said angrily and got up. ¡°Happy birthday to you once more,¡± he added before dropping a wrapped gift that was inside his suit inner pocket on the dining table and motioning for me to follow me.


    We had hardly taken eight steps when his father¡¯s voice stopped us.


    ¡°Jason! Let me see you in my study.¡±


    ¡°Okay, dad,¡± he said before whispering to me, ¡°I will be back soon; wait for me in the car,¡± and with that, he followed his father.

 Chapter 16

    Jason came out ten minutester with a livid expression, and we went back to his house in absolute silence.


    ¡°Is everything okay?¡± I asked him for the tenth time when I noticed that he wasn¡¯tfortable in his own skin because he kept tossing and turning every now and then, but he didn¡¯t reply.


    ¡°Do you care for some drinks?¡± He asked as he was getting out of bed without waiting for my reply.


    I joined him five minutester and got myself a wine ss before joining him.


    ¡°That girl¡¯s name is Sofia,¡± he said after his third ss of wine.


    ¡°I¡¯m not asking.¡±


    ¡°I know. I just want you to know,¡± he replied before pouring more wine into his ss. ¡°We were childhood friends. I¡¯ve known her for almost all my life, and we¡¯ve been in an onn-andoff rtionship for some time now.


    ¡°Why are you telling me all this?¡±


    ¡°Because I want you to know. No one understands me. My father always wants me to dance to his tune. I wanted to be a writer, but my dad turned it down.


    Both of them always want me to do what they want. Everytime! Every goddamn time! They don¡¯t care whether their decision is hurting me inside.


    All they want is for me to listen to them because I am their son and because I might not be in this position if not for them.


    They want me to marry Sofia.¡±


    I knew that; that was what their reaction was to this evening, but my heart still sank when I heard it from him.


    ¡°They don¡¯t want to hear my side of the story. She is always right. Just because of what? Just because her parents are richer than us.


    My dad wants more connections; he wants more power, and he doesn¡¯t care about getting it through my pain, my sorrow, and my blood.


    Sofia is a real bitch. But my dad will never listen. At first, I thought she was going to change. You know¡­ As in, I wasn¡¯t enough for her.


    She would cheat. I would catch her. We would break up. She woulde back to me, begging. I would take her back. She would cheat again. I would catch her. She woulde back to me, begging again! And we would repeat that goddamn process again! Again! And again!


    She makes me feel like a fool. She makes me feel ipetent because I wanted to satisfy my parents. She makes me feel as if, without her and her family, my family wouldn¡¯t have made it.


    ¡®Sofia this, Sofia that¡¯ mom will keep saying. As if she is the one who will live with her after marriage.


    I want to marry someone that I love, not someone that my parents want me to marry. Someone that I will be proud of, not some bitches.


    I don¡¯t care if this is going to cause some fight between me and my parents because I¡¯m pretty sure I¡¯m not going to marry Sofia. I¡¯m not going to marry anyone because my parents want me to. I would rather remain single for the rest of my life than marry that bitch. Not after all what she had done.¡±


    Iter helped him back to bed because he was too drunk to walk by himself after disclosing his feelings to me.


    I shifted more to him on the bed for more heat and was already dozing off when he wrapped his hand around my waist and called


    ¡°Lexi!¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you ever leave me,¡± he said, babyish.


    ¡°Stop acting like a baby; it doesn¡¯t suit my boss.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m being serious. Don¡¯t you ever leave me for anybody else. Peter, James, and Cynthia. Don¡¯t you ever leave me for¡­¡± He trailed off as he surrendered to sleep.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    I got up as early as possible on Sunday morning and prepared breakfast by ordering bread and eggs online since there was nothing in his house. I woke him up when I was through.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± I said with a lovely smile sttered on my face. ¡°Jason! Jason! Wake up!¡± I tapped him.


    ¡°Uhn,¡± he saidzily.


    ¡°Get up. It¡¯s morning,¡± I cheered.


    ¡°It is?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, it is. Get up. Breakfast is ready.¡±


    ¡°Breakfast?¡± He asked unbelievably.


    ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s not something much.¡±


    ¡°You made it yourself?¡±


    ¡°Yeah. Get up. I will be waiting for you.¡±


    He joined me five minutester and ate his share as if he had been hungry for a long time.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    I talked to Judith and Cynthiater in the day and was preparing dinner when Peter called.


    ¡°Hello,¡± he said.


    ¡°Hello,¡± I whispered.


    ¡°Good evening¡±


    ¡°Evening,¡± I whispered.


    ¡°Lexi, you there.¡±


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°Speak louder; I can hardly hear you. I called you because of what we talked about,¡± he sighed. ¡°So, what is your answer? I knew I¡¯d been fucking up, Lexi, but if you can give me a second chance, I¡¯m sure I will try my best to make you happy. I don¡¯t want to lose you. Not after everything we¡¯ve gone through together. I love you, Lexi; I truly do.¡±


    It broke my heart to hear those words from him, but I knew I had no option but to break the news to him.


    ¡°Are you there, Lexi? Are you there?¡± He said it loudly to the receiver.


    ¡°Yes, Peter, I can hear you.¡±


    ¡°So, what is your answer?¡± He trembled


    I sighed heavily and held onto the phone as if it were going to make things easier.


    ¡°Peter,¡± I called, ¡°I know we have a story together, a story I can never or will never try to erase. You are more than a boyfriend to me. You¡¯re like a family, like a brother to me. You treated me more than I deserved. You showed me love in your own way. You¡­¡±


    ¡°I guess I¡¯m losing,¡± he trembled.


    ¡°No, you¡¯re not, but I think you deserve someone better than me.¡±


    ¡°Are you seeing someone else?¡± He asked me quietly, as if he were scared of my reply.


    ¡°Peter, this is not a matter of seeing someone. This is between both of us.¡±


    ¡°So, you don¡¯t want me anymore? Because you find someone better than me.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not about that.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s about what then, Lexi? It¡¯s about what? You said you want more sex, more love, more intimacy, more this, more that, and I said I¡¯m ready to give it all to you, as far as I know you. But you¡¯re not even ready to give me a second chance.


    Are you at home? Maybe we can talk better if we see each other.¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯m not.¡±


    ¡°You with Cynthia, right? I cane get you. We can talk this out. Let¡¯s talk this out, Lexi.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not with Cynthia.¡±


    ¡°And you said you weren¡¯t seeing someone else. You aren¡¯t at home, and neither are you with Cynthia.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m on a business trip.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yeah¡±


    ¡°We can talk things out when youe back.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Peter, but there is nothing we are talking about. It¡¯s over for real.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re giving up on us just like that?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Peter. I¡¯m really there.¡± I said as I sniffed and wiped away tears with my hand.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Just know that I¡¯m right here if you still need me.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Peter, bye-bye.¡±


    ¡°Bye, I love you.¡±


    I hung up the phone and turned around to see Jason standing in the middle of the kitchen.

 Chapter 17

    We got to work as early as possible on Monday morning and had a very quick sex on his table before the others arrived.


    When Jada came across me, she was shocked, and her reaction reminded me of what happened in front of herst Friday, and I knew I had to do something before she started spreading sh*t about me the way she does.


    I counted the second until the client that was with Jason was gone and went straight inside his office without even knocking.


    ¡°Lexi, how may I help you?¡± He asked professional


    ¡°Jada! It¡¯s about Jada.¡±


    ¡°What is about her?¡±


    ¡°She saw what happened. She saw us.¡±


    ¡°And you¡¯re worried?¡± He smirked


    ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t be? Of course, I am.¡±


    ¡°Stop panicking; I got it under control.¡±


    ¡°Did you threaten her?¡±


    ¡°For God sake, she is my assistant. She knows almost everything about me. Don¡¯t worry, your secret is safe with her. Our secret is safe with her.¡±


    ¡®Our¡¯ did he just say ¡®our¡¯. OMG! Our secret is safe with her.


    I smiled at him when I heard this and went back to my office with that word still ringing in my ears.


    Stephanie met up with me during lunch, and we both ordered some fries and chicken, with Coke for me and Fanta for her.


    ¡°I¡¯m very sorry for standing you up. Weter changed ns, so Iter went with him.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay¡±


    ¡°And how are you feeling today? I heard you have to go home on Friday because you aren¡¯t feeling well.¡±


    ¡°Fine. Thank you¡± I yed along andughed at how easily she believed Jada¡¯s lie.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    I was about to pick up my bag and close for the day when the office phone rang.


    ¡°Hello, this is Lexi¡­¡±


    ¡°Come inside,¡± Jason said from the other side.


    I dropped the phone, picked up my bag to let him know I was on my way home, and opened the adjoining door softly.


    ¡°Sir?¡±


    ¡°Come here,¡± hemanded savagely, and I found myself walking towards him instantly.


    ¡°Climb the table,¡± he added as he was getting out of his chair.


    I dropped my bag on the ground, drew up my skirt, making sure my bikini was the only thing covering my pussycat, and climbed the table as seductively as I could.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    ¡°Good girl,¡± heplimented as he shifted my pants to one side and pushed his middle finger inside my already drenched pussy.


    ¡°You are always ready,¡± he joked with a serious face.


    ¡°Aaaahhh¡­.¡± I moaned as his finger collided with my pussywall and opened up my legs wider to give him more ess.


    ¡°You like it, huh?¡± He asked ferociously and added another finger.


    I nodded in response and threw back my head to rx into the blissful feelings that were passing through my veins. In, out, in, out, in, out


    ¡°Do you like my fingers that are inside your cunt?¡± He grunted


    ¡°Yes,¡± I replied, taking a look down at my pussycat to see for myself how those fingers were moving in and out of it.


    ¡°Yes what?¡±


    ¡°Yes, sir,¡± I moaned.


    ¡°Yes what?¡± He grunted and increased his pace by savagely pushing in and out of me.


    ¡°Yes, boss,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Come here,¡± he ordered, and he drew me closer to himself by my shirt without stopping fingering me.


    He put his mouth on me the instant I was close enough and grunted when his tongue entered my mouth.


    I shifted more toward him, wrapped my hands around his neck as I bit his lower lip softly, and continued to moan because of his fingers that were still moving in and out of my pussycat.


    He stopped kissing me all of a sudden, traced my ears from my mouth with the help of his tongue, and pushed his tongue inside my earlobe all of a sudden. The electricity that passed through me the moment his tongue made contact with my earlobe collided with the one that was running through my virgina, and with a prolonged guttural scream, I trembled and came


    ¡°Come home with me, and I promise to give you more,¡± he whispered into my ear seductively.


    ¡°No. My sister will be worried,¡± I replied.


    ¡°We can tell her you¡¯re still on the business trip.¡±


    ¡°She wouldn¡¯t believe it. She will be worried.¡±


    ¡°What if you¡¯re on a business trip for real?¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯m not¡±


    ¡°That means I have to get whatsoever I want now¡± he grunted


    He pulled his fingers out of my pussy and inserted it inside my mouth, which I licked off while looking straight into his eyes


    ¡°That¡¯s is why I like you¡± he said before colliding his mouth to mine ¡°I love your taste. You taste incredible¡± he was saying as he was unbuttoning my shirt, which I took off as soon as he gets thest button undone.


    ¡°Nice boobs¡±heplimented, unfastened my bra and we both watched as he threw it to the ground.


    He put his mouth on one nipple while continuously squeezing the other softly and rotated this for some minutes beforeing back to my mouth which was also craving for his attention.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to fuck you really hard because I won¡¯t be getting any tonight¡± he said into my mouth while pulling off my skirt roughly followed my pant


    ¡°Get down from the table¡± hetermanded


    I did as he wanted and watched as he took off his clothes, freeing the beast.


    He stroked his dick repeatedly and I  watched in amazement as his hand glid easily up and down it


    ¡°Turn around. Hold on to the table¡± he growled.


    I did as he wanted and waited eagerly for his dick.


    ¡°Push more of your ass out¡± he said, smacked me softly on both ass cheeks, pulled me more to himself by my waist and entered me as forceful as he could be.


    He swore, pulled my ass harder to himself and stopped moving for some seconds while I licked my lips to savour the pleasure that was running through me


    ¡°Lexi!¡± He growled, pulled out of me, held my waist tighter before brutally pushing back inside. He stopped moving once more and pulled my ass harder to himself


    ¡°Lexi!¡± He growled again


    ¡°Aaaaaaaaassssshhhhhh¡­¡± I moaned softly in response and rolled my pussy on his dick


    ¡°Fuck¡± he swore and started hammering his dick in and out of my pussy at a rapid pace


    I held more tighter to the table in order not to loss my bnce and spread my legs wider to give him more ess to my pussy


    ¡°You are my filthy slut¡± he breathed out heavily ¡°say it¡± hemanded as he used one of his hand to pull my hair backward


    ¡°I am your filthy slut¡± I moaned out


    ¡°Say it louder¡± he growled as he pulled my hair tighter until I could feel my scalp as it started to ache lightly


    ¡°I am your filthy slut¡± I moaned out louder


    ¡°Yeah¡± he moaned softly, released my hair andter started to fuck me at a slow pace ¡°yeah. Do you like it? Do you like my dick?¡±


    ¡°Yeeeaaahhh¡±


    ¡°Will you look for another one?¡±


    ¡°Never,¡± I moaned.


    ¡°Aaaahhh, sh*t, you feel so good,¡± he said as he used his hands to spread my ass cheeks apart. ¡°You feel so fucking good. My dick is covered in your milk, and I love it. I really love it. It makes it more sloppy. I don¡¯t ever want to leave this cunt. Oh fuck, it¡¯s so sweet. Do you love it? Do you love my dick?¡±


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°Oh! shit!  I¡¯m about toe,¡± he said all of a sudden and started racing towards it until he pulled out of me all of a sudden andmanded, ¡°Get down on your knees.¡±


    I rushed down on my knees instantly, opened my mouth, and watched as he continuously stroked his cock until his sperm started rushing out of it in full force.

    Heter handed me some wipes, which I used to clean myself up before ordering me toy back down on the table with my legs widely spread apart while he drew his seat closer to my throbbing pussycat and sat in front of it.


    He sat in front of it for like five minutes, just staring at it, and I started feeling ufortable and started closing up my legs when he spoke.


    ¡°Don¡¯t,¡± hemanded. ¡°Why are you closing it up? It¡¯s beautiful. You¡¯re beautiful,¡± he said, using his hands to restrain my legs before drawing me closer to himself and burying his mouth inside my pussycat.


    ¡°Fuck.¡± I stretched my hands to get hold of the table as I arched my back up when his tongue went straight down my already expanded pussy and started raising up my butt to meet up with his tongue as it wasing down hard on me.


    ¡°Wow! That is my wild girl,¡± Jason praised while still tongue-fucking me, and I held tighter to the table to tame the beast that was about toe out of me.


    ¡°Easy girl, easy. We don¡¯t need to rush this; just change your mind, and I promise you more.¡±


    ¡°My sister,¡± I moaned out.


    ¡°I will talk to her myself.¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯m going home,¡± I finalized.


    Jason stopped the second I said this and got out of his chair to put back his clothes.


    ¡°Jason,¡± I implored.


    ¡°Don¡¯t, Jason,¡± he said coldly. ¡°That is what you get for being stubborn.¡±


    ¡°Like seriously?¡± I asked unbelievably as I was getting off the table.


    ¡°You are free to go. Your sister is waiting for you.¡±


    ¡°Of course she is,¡± I replied sarcastically, put on my clothes, and left his office with the image of how heavenly it would have been if he had taken me to the promisednd.


    ¡®I¡¯m sorry¡¯ he texted as I was on my way down the lift,


    ¡°Not after what you just did,¡± I murmured, ignored his text, turned on my do not disturb preference, threw my phone back inside my bag, and went home without looking back.


    I microwaved some pizza, got myself a cold ss of wine, turned off my do not disturb preference to see a few missed calls from Jason, and sat in front of the TV to continue my Adam Lee movie when someone knocked on the door.


    I raised an eyebrow, put down my drink, paused my movie, and got out of the couch to open the door for Judith since she was the only one I was expecting at that particr moment.


    ¡°Peter,¡± I said unbelievably.


    ¡°Can Ie in?¡± He asked


    ¡°Of course,¡± I replied, making way for him.


    ¡°Longest time¡±


    ¡°Same. What do you care for?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m okay; I just had supper.¡±


    ¡°Okay¡±


    I went back to my side on the couch and continued eating my food.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Adam Lee¡¯sstest movie?¡±


    ¡°Yeah. Are you watching it?¡±


    ¡°No, but I¡¯ve seen the trailer.¡±


    ¡°You have to watch it; it¡¯s really, really interesting.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s not going to be without you by my side,¡± he said, fixing his eyes on me.


    I paused eating, rolled my eyes, and thought of what to say without sounding hard.


    ¡°Peter¡­¡± I sighed


    ¡°I got it,¡± he said, motioning for me to stop by raising his hand in the air. ¡°You don¡¯t love me any more. You don¡¯t want me any more. I just want to tell you my feelings once more. I don¡¯t want to lose you. I¡¯m ready to ept your terms and conditions; just try and give me one more chance.¡± He sighed, ¡°Let me prove to you how much I really love you.¡±


    ¡°Peter, I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m no longer interested.¡±


    ¡°Give me a tangible reason.¡±


    ¡°I have no reason.¡±


    ¡°You have to get a reason, Lexi. Just give it to me. Tell me a reason why I¡¯m no longer an option. Tell me a reason why you¡¯re no longer feeling what you¡¯ve been professing for the past five years.¡±


    I looked away from him and faced the TV screen, because I was going to weep if I continued to look at how broken apart he was. Peter was a good person, a really good person; his only w was the sex part, which he was ready to change, but he wasn¡¯t the one I wanted, not after what I¡¯ve tasted.


    ¡°Peter¡­¡± I trailed off because I was short of words.


    ¡°Is it someone else? Are you seeing someone else?¡±


    I shook my head without making eye contact with him.


    ¡°Lexi, look at me and answer my question. Are you seeing someone?¡± He tempered


    ¡°Stop shouting at me. I owe you no exnation,¡± I said back defensively.


    ¡°Of course you do; you are my girlfriend.¡±


    ¡°Point of correction, ex-girlfriend.¡±


    He got out of his seat instantly and covered the space between us in a few seconds, his eyes zing red. I shifted more inside the couch and wondered what was about to happen.


    ¡°You want it rough, right?¡± He said as he lowered his angry face to my scared one with his breath reeking of alcohol, ¡°You want it rough, and I said I¡¯m going to give it to you rough. What else do you want?¡±


    ¡°Peter, stop; you¡¯re scaring me,¡± I stammered.


    ¡°What is scary about me trying to give it to you rough?¡± He asked sarcastically before shing his mouth with mine and biting my upper lip.


    I forced my teeth together as he was trying to get through them and tried to stay put, even though I was scared.


    ¡°Peter, you¡¯re drunk,¡± I said between my teeth inside his mouth.


    ¡°Of course, baby, I¡¯m drunk in love with you,¡± he replied as he pinned me to the couch with his hands, trying to get ess to my blouse.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Peter, let me go.¡± I fought back.


    ¡°Stop trying to act as if I¡¯m hurting you; isn¡¯t this what you want? Isn¡¯t this what you have always demanded?¡± He said as he pulled out one of my breasts and bit it nipple hard.


    ¡°Ahhhhhh!¡± I screamed and pushed him harder with no effect.


    ¡°Shut up, bitch.¡±


    ¡°Get off me, Peter! Peter, get out of me!¡± I said it desperately, but he wasn¡¯t yielding.


    ¡°She wants it rough, and I¡¯m giving it to her,¡± he said to no one in particr as he was pulling out my second boob.


    I was desperate, and I needed something to fight back or else I was going to lose. I forced my head out of the position he put it in, and that was when I saw it-the ceramic dishware with my half-eaten pizza.


    I stylishly stretched my hands until I could reach it without making him suspicious and whacked him in the head with it.


    I pushed him off of me instantly and got up to dust off the broken particles of the dishware from my torn cloth.


    About a minuteter, he got up from the ground with blood all over him, and I thought he was going to retreat since he was in bad shape, but he proved me wrong once more bying after me again.


    I started taking back steps with my heart thudding out loud because the view of a bloody angry man wasn¡¯t as great as it was shown in movies, and then the front door opened.


    ¡°Thank God,¡± I thought.


    ¡°Lexi, I¡¯m home,¡± Judith called, and that got to Peter. He looked angrier but retreated, swore, and walked past a very frightened Judith.


    ¡°I¡¯ming back for you,¡± he threatened as he was about to close the door.


    ¡°I will be waiting for you,¡± I shouted back.


    ¡°What is going on here!?¡± Judith shouted to get my attention.


    ¡°He was drunk.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m talking about the blood, the broken te, your torn clothes, and the threats.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Judith; he was just drunk.¡±


    ¡°You better start talking before I call the police,¡± and that was how I found myself exining everything to her andter talking her out of calling the police.

 Chapter 19

    I made sure I put on some make-up to coverst night¡¯s bruises, which went with Jason noticing it.


    ¡°Do you put that on for me?¡± He asked


    ¡°I put it on for myself.¡±


    ¡°It makes you look hot, but you are hotter without it.¡±


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t asking for your opinion.¡±


    ¡°But your boss is trying to give one.¡±


    ¡°I think my boss should keep his opinion to himself.¡±


    ¡°Have you ever been told about how rude workers get punished?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never been told, but I have experienced it.¡±


    ¡°Do you want to experience it again?¡±


    ¡°No sir¡±


    ¡°Soe give me some kisses before I change my mind and have you between my legs.¡±


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t mind thetter.¡±


    ¡°I too wouldn¡¯t mind thetter, but you know I have to be in a meeting in ten minutes, so I will rather stay with the former.¡±


    I went to his seat, bent down, and gave him some quick kisses on the lips because my upper lip still hurt. I made a show of pushing my tits on his face as I was about to get back up.


    ¡°I would have shifted this meeting and had you spread wide open on my table if it wasn¡¯t important.¡±


    I climbed his table, drew my skirt halfway up, and spread my legs a little bit, making sure my pants were in his full view before answering.


    ¡°And I would have done so with maximum pleasure, boss.¡±


    ¡°Fuck! Get down from that table before I change my mind and give you the punishment you deserve.¡±


    ¡°And who says I don¡¯t enjoy being punished, boss?¡± I replied as I spread my legs wider.


    ¡°Damn it! Have you prepared everything I will need for this meeting?¡± He changed the subject.


    ¡°Yes, sir,¡± I replied.


    ¡°I will be dealing with youter; I really have to be in that meeting,¡± he said, got up, gave me a kiss on my forehead, and left like the CEO he was.


    I was already in my office when something crossed my mind. So, I went back to his office, pulled off my pants, spread them on his table, and went back to my office.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    Someone opened the adjoining door too fast; I had to jump out of my chair.


    ¡°What the hell!? You scared me,¡± I said.


    It was Jason.


    ¡°That was exactly what I did when I came across this on my table,¡± Jason said as he raised up my pants, which I wasn¡¯t aware he was holding in the air.


    ¡°Oh! That? I was just joking around.¡±


    ¡°And that is exactly what I will be doing when I¡¯m buried inside you,¡± he said, moving closer to me. ¡°Pull that thing up; I want to see that fat ass of yours,¡± hemanded.


    Oh my God! My view of this office will be changing, I thought.


    I pulled up my skirt slowly to torture him more and bent down on the table as soon as I was through.


    ¡°Oh shit! You¡¯re really with no pants on?¡± He said and came closer to me, ¡°And you¡¯ve been walking all around mypany with no pants on. What am I going to do with you?¡±


    He put my pants on my table, put his hands on my ass, and started rubbing them to and fro before he changed his mind and hit me instead.


    Thwack! On my right ass cheek


    ¡°Ouch¡±


    ¡°That is for torturing me throughout the meeting.¡±


    Thwack! On my left ass cheek


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°That is for putting that pant on my table. And this¡­¡± He trailed off as he was unzipping his trouser. ¡°Is for¡­ everything,¡± he finished, smacked his cock on both cheeks, pulled my buttocks a little bit higher, and entered me.


    ¡°Ah,¡± he growled as his dick slid inside my hot pussycat. ¡°Oh. My. God,¡± he growled more and ran deeper into my pussy while squeezing my ass cheeks at the same time.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Oh¡­¡± I moaned softly and licked my bottom lip as he pleasured me from behind.


    ¡°We will have to be very fast because I have an appointment in five minutes,¡± he said as he continued to fuck me.


    ¡°I know,¡± I replied, pushing my butt more toward him and focusing my attention on the wall clock.


    ¡°Fuck it,¡± he grunted as he came with only one minute left.


    He pulled out of my pussycat, put his dick back inside his trouser, and just finished zipping up when Mrs. Clement, his client, came in.


    ¡°Mr Stokes,¡± she greeted and pulled out her hand for a handshake, which he received.


    ¡°Mrs Clement¡±


    I was looking nowhere in particr during this salutation when my eyesnded on my pants, which were lying carelessly on my table.


    ¡°Holy fuck!¡± I almost screamed and stylishly pushed a file on it; that is only if she hasn¡¯t seen it yet, but the look on her face was saying otherwise because her eyes dashed from I to Jason for some time before Jason finally invited her inside.


    Jason winked at me before closing the adjoining door as if he knew what just happened, and I gave him the finger because that was what he deserved at that particr time. It was all his fault.


    ¡°That pant is mine from now on. I think it needs to spend some more time under my  pillow.¡± Jason texted thirty minutes after the arrival of Mrs. Clement.


    ¡°My pant is going home with me¡± I texted back


    ¡°You should have thought about the consequences before putting it on my table. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve put it back on. I think I like the idea of you walking all around the building with no pants on. It¡¯s going to make everything easier.¡±


    ¡°Are you sure you are in a meeting?¡±


    ¡°Yes. Mrs. Clement is sitting right in front of the table where I fucked your brain outst evening, and that knowledge alone is making me hard again. I¡¯m taking that pant home unless you¡¯reing home with me tonight.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not your girlfriend, meaning you can¡¯t have me whenever you want to. And face your meeting.¡±


    ¡°If making you my girlfriend is going to make me have ess to everything, then I want you to be¡±


    OMG! Did he just text that?


    ¡°Be what?¡± I texted back to make sure that the text was what it was.


    ¡°Girlfriend of course¡±


    OMG! OMG! This can¡¯t be real. I thought about it and pped myself twice to make sure I wasn¡¯t dreaming.


    ¡°Of course, I want to be¡±


    ¡°Then you¡¯re. We will talk when I¡¯m through with this meeting.¡±


    I went through our texts over and over again before I decided to tell Cynthia what was going on.


    ¡°I¡¯m now Jason¡¯s girlfriend¡± I texted her, knowing fully well she would call back instantly


    ¡°Lexi, are you for real?¡± Cynthia joyfully asked me over the phone.


    ¡°I know you are going to call back.¡±


    ¡°I instantly excused myself to the restroom the moment I saw your text. Howe? When?¡±


    ¡°This morning. Some minutes ago.¡±


    ¡°Girl, I¡¯m so happy for you. I can¡¯t even express it in words. It¡¯s unbelievable¡±


    ¡°I know; I still can¡¯t believe it myself.¡±


    ¡°We need to have a girls night for this. Babe, you broke the record by dating Jason Stokes, the billionaire. This deserves a whole night. We¡¯re celebrating this!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, we should. We definitely should. This sort of thing only happens once in someone¡¯s lifetime.¡±


    ¡°Congrats babe but I¡¯ve to go now. We will talkter and fix a date. Have fun¡±


    ¡°You too¡±


    I hung up the phone and called my sister to inform her about what just happened to her only younger sister.

 Chapter 20

    I was about to go for my lunch break when the adjoining door opened and Jason came out, looking hot as always. My hot boyfriend


    ¡°We¡¯re leaving,¡± he said.


    I got confused and squeezed my face to make it known, ¡°Leaving? To where¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m taking my girlfriend out.¡±


    His girlfriend! OMG!


    ¡°Oh! Okay. Should I leave my bag behind or take it along with me?¡±


    ¡°Take it along with you. We¡¯re closing for the day.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    ¡°There is no but in this Lexi; pick up your bag and let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Okay¡±


    ¡°Oh! Wait a minute, where is my pants?¡± Jason asked


    ¡°It¡¯s mine, not yours, and I¡¯ve put it back on.¡±


    ¡°Pull it off right now and hand it over to me. It¡¯s mine now, and from this day forward, you should always be pantless.


    ¡°Are you serious right now?¡±


    ¡°Very serious¡±


    I drew up my skirt in order to pull off my pants, which I handed to him.


    He ced it on his nose, inhaled it heavily with his eyes closed, andter put it inside his breast pocket before walking out of my office.


    I picked up my bag, followed him, took the lift, and met Stephanie, who was on her way to our usual restaurant.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± She whispered to me.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, but it seems like a business trip,¡± I whispered back to her. Even though I wanted to tell her the real truth, I couldn¡¯t because I wasn¡¯t sure if Jason was going to appreciate that.


    ¡°When will you be back?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, but it should be in a few hours.¡±


    We said our byes, and I followed Jason to his car.


    ¡°Wow! This is cute,¡± I said as I moved my hand on it to feel how smooth it was.


    ¡°All my cars are,¡± he smirked.


    ¡°Jerk.¡±


    ¡°But you still like me enough to be my girlfriend.¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be too sure. I might change my mind.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you wouldn¡¯t, because you can¡¯t resist me,¡± he said as he was about to open the car door. ¡°Hop in my Maserati,¡± he added.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to say it twice. With maximum pleasure, boyfriend.¡±


    I put on the seat belt and watched him as he walked majestically to the driver¡¯s side.


    He entered the car, put on the seat belt, started the car, and turned on the music before elerating out of the parking lot.


    ¡°Was that sentence nned?¡± I asked him due to the chorus of the music that was sting out of the speaker.


    ¡°Maybe¡±


    The chorus of the music we were listening to was


    ¡®Let¡¯s hop in my Maserati


    Baby hop in my MaseratiContent protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    I say hop in my Maserati


    Hop in my Maserati¡¯


    ¡°Nice music¡±


    ¡°I know¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you like beingplimented?¡±


    He smirked. ¡°I love it, especially when ites from you, but I also like seeing you mad; it¡¯s cute.¡±


    ¡°Asshole¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve always wanted me in there.¡±


    I gave him the bad eyes and looked out of the car.


    ¡°We¡¯re almost there,¡± he said at one time.


    ¡°I don¡¯t even know where we¡¯re going.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m taking you to my favorite restaurant. You are the first girl I will be taking to my secret restaurant,¡± he said, smirking. ¡°In my Maserati,¡± he added, and he guffawed when I gave him the eyes.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    Iter decided to follow him back to his house and continue my Adam Lee movie on Netflix while he made some business calls in his home office.


    My phone vibrated, and I checked the caller. It was Cynthia, and I paused the movie.


    ¡°Hi, babe,¡± I said into the phone.


    ¡°Sweetheart, what¡¯s up?¡¯


    ¡°Feeling great, you?¡±


    ¡°Feeling great for you. Are you home right now?¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯m with him.¡±


    ¡°OMG! This is too cute, and I¡¯m jealous of you right now.¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be; yours is on the way.¡±


    ¡°That is, if you hook me up with one of his friends.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve met none.¡±


    ¡°Try to meet them as soon as possible and hook me up with the hottest.¡±


    ¡°And what about your boyfriend, the guy you imed to be the love of your life?¡±


    ¡°Money is everything, Lexi; when there is money, there¡¯s love.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so, Cynthia, because I¡¯m not dating Jason for his money. I¡¯ve actually felt something for him during our first night together.


    ¡°Counselor Lexi¡±


    ¡°Joke apart, Cynthia.¡±


    ¡°I was just kidding. When will you be back?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know yet.¡±


    ¡°When should our girls night be then? Because we have to celebrate this.¡±


    ¡°Maybe on Friday night.¡±


    ¡°Ok, Friday night. See you on Friday night.¡±


    ¡°See you too; bye; love you.¡±


    ¡°I love you too, the girlfriend.¡±


    Someone cleared their throat behind me, and I almost dropped my phone.


    ¡°Stop it. I thought you were still in your office,¡± I said to Jason.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t n to scare you; it was thatst statement that got to me.¡±


    ¡°I love her. She is my best friend.¡±


    ¡°Best friend or girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°Best friend. Stop giving me that look. I was just joking; I¡¯m not into girls.¡±


    ¡°But you told me you are.¡±


    ¡°I was just joking; I wanted to see your reaction.¡±


    ¡°Did you get any?¡±


    ¡°Maybe¡±


    ¡°I think you deserved to be punished for what you did; lying to your boss is a great sin.¡±


    ¡°My boss or my boyfriend?¡±


    ¡°Your boss at the time¡±


    ¡°I lied to my boss, but my boyfriend found out. Why will my boss punish me for something my boyfriend found out? My boss and my boyfriend are two different people, and they don¡¯t know each other.¡±


    ¡°Maybe they do.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think they do because my boss is an asshole and my boyfriend is cute.¡±


    ¡°Do you really think that I¡¯m cute?¡± He asked babyishly.


    ¡°Sometimes you are not like that time when you punished me for losing the file.¡±


    ¡°But that is your boss. You already said he was an asshole.¡±


    ¡°Stop finding excuses.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just being serious right now; your boss and your boyfriend are two different people, as you¡¯ve said earlier. Your boss needs to be strict so that you will get the work done, and your boyfriend needs to be cute to you because you mean so much to him.


    He came to sit next to me and used his hand to direct my head to his side.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry if I hurt you that day; I was just angry at you because I saw you kissing that boy. You told me you were going to the grocery store. It was as if you lied to me. I¡¯m sorry¡±


    ¡°That is too cute. Apology epted. Come, give me a kiss.¡±


    He shifted more to my side and moved his mouth until it collided with mine. I pulled closer to him as if I couldn¡¯t get enough of his tongue that was going down my throat and bit his upper lip slightly.


    ¡°Oh my God! Do that again,¡± he said into my mouth as he pulled me down on the couch.


    ¡°Do what again?¡± I asked


    ¡°Bite my lip again.¡±


    I did it again, and he growled savagely back while his hand kept moving up and down my body.


    ¡°Bite it again,¡± hemanded.


    I bit it again, was rewarded with his growl, and did it again and again and again until he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He got up and pulled off his boxer since that was the only thing he was putting on, andter I took off my own skirt too.


    ¡°I¡¯m still trying to get used to the idea of you being pantless.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m trying to get used to it too.¡±

 Chapter 21

    A strange number has been calling me since the early morning, and whenever I picked up, the caller hung up. It was strange, and I wondered who it could be. I have never gotten such strange calls before in my life, and the fact that someone was trying to mess with me was terrifying.


    ¡°Peter,¡± I thought, or who else could it be? He was the only one that I wasn¡¯t on good terms with. I wondered what else he wanted from me after that scary event that happened two days ago.


    I thought of talking to Jason about it, but I decided not to, because he might take it badly and hurt Peter.


    Peter meant so much to me, even though he acted the way he acted, even though he showed me a side of his that I wasn¡¯t aware of. We¡¯ve shared so many things together. We¡¯ve made memories that I wouldn¡¯t want to erase. I once loved him. I once cared for him, and I still care for him, and I wouldn¡¯t want anyone to hurt him, even though what he did to me two days ago still hurt.


    Before noon, someone walked majestically to my office and walked straight to the adjoining door, putting on a crop top and a micro-mini skirt.


    ¡°Excuse me, miss. Excuse me,¡± I called out.


    She put her hand on the door handle before turning back to look at me.


    ¡°Yes, how may I help you?¡± She asked


    ¡°Dixie!¡± I thought and almost lost my professionalism.


    ¡°Mr. Stokes is not avable right now; if you don¡¯t mind, can you sit down for some minutes and let me inform him about your presence?¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    ¡°Fuck off,¡± she cursed and eyed me before pressing the door handle.


    I rushed after her to stop her, but she was faster and was already in the middle of the office within a second.


    ¡°Hi, babe,¡± she called and waved at Jason.


    ¡°Miss Dixie¡­¡± I called


    Jason cut in, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Lexi, go back to your office; I can handle this.¡±


    I stayed rooted to where I was; I wasn¡¯t going to leave her alone with my man dressed like that.


    ¡°Lexi!¡± Jason said a little bit harder.


    ¡°Ok sir¡±


    I closed the adjoining door and put my ear on it to eavesdrop on their conversation.


    ¡°Dixie, what are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m here to see you in person since you stopped picking up my calls.¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be here, Dixie. This is my office. We can talkter.¡±


    ¡°Stop acting like a professional right now, baby; stop acting as if you don¡¯t miss me.¡±


    ¡°Dixie,¡± Jason called.


    ¡°You missed it, didn¡¯t you? I¡¯m all yours, baby. Do me the way you like,¡± she moaned.


    Was she seducing him? Was he ying along? Why was he not resisting? Different thoughts were running through my brain.


    ¡°Oh baby,¡± Dixie moaned. ¡°Yeah, just like that.¡±


    ¡°Just like what?¡± I thought.


    I took my ear off the door and went out of the office. I would rather go on a walk than listen to her moans as Jason pleasured her with what I thought was mine alone.


    It had been five long minutes since Jason and Dixie had been inside together during God knows what, and I was a few seconds from losing it and going back inside to im what was mine when I saw two securities men rushing to my office.


    ¡°What is happening?¡± I questioned myself and followed them.


    They opened the adjoining door, and we all saw an almost naked, desperate Dixie who was clinging tightly to an angry Jason.


    ¡°Jason, please,¡± she pleads desperately as she pushes one of her breasts, which was nakedly in our full view, into Jason¡¯s face.


    ¡°Securities¡± Jasonmanded


    ¡°Ok, sir,¡± they chorused, and they moved towards Dixie to disentangle her from Jason.


    ¡°Get off me!¡± She screamed as she fought the securities. ¡°Jason, don¡¯t do this to me,¡± she cried as the security started dragging her away with her hands and legs.


    ¡°It¡¯s all because of you, bitch,¡± she said to me as the securities dragged her past me. ¡°You¡¯re going to regret it.¡±


    ¡°Watch it, Dixie,¡± Jason said back to her.


    ¡°I¡¯m being serious. She will regret it. Both of you will regret it. I will make you pay for this,¡± she faded off.


    ¡°How did she know about us?¡± I thought


    I moved closer to Jason to calm him down, but my mind was far away. The thought that Dixie knew me and knew about us while I knew nothing about her was scary.


    What if she was the strange caller?


    ¡°Lexi, I¡¯m talking to you.¡±


    Jason tapped me.


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°Are you okay?¡±


    I nodded my head.


    ¡°Or are you worried because of her words? She was just angry. She can do nothing.¡±


    I nodded my head in understanding, but I knew I wasn¡¯t going to erase her from my mind anytime soon because I was sure that she was stalking me in one way or another.


    ¡°You¡¯re overthinking this, babe,¡± Jason said worriedly.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m not. I¡¯m just¡­ I don¡¯t know¡­ I¡¯m just curious.¡±


    ¡°About what?¡±


    ¡°About the fact that she knows we are together.¡±


    ¡°She don¡¯t. She is just guessing.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    ¡°Come here, baby. Come here¡± I moved closer to him; he hugged me and started rubbing my back. ¡°You¡¯re overthinking this. She can do nothing, okay?¡±


    ¡°Okay¡±


    ¡°Or do you want us to leave and go back home?¡±


    ¡°No, I still have a lot of things to do.¡±


    He released me, and I went back to my office with Dixie still on my mind.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    I left my phone in my office because I didn¡¯t want to be disturbed by the strange calls before meeting up with Stephanie during lunch break, and I ordered an egg and avocado sandwich while Stephanie ordered almond-crusted (baked) chicken nuggets.


    ¡°I heard Dixie was the mad woman that was dragged out of Mr. Stokes office this morning,¡± Stephanie said.


    ¡°Yeah, she was,¡± I replied.


    ¡°What do you think happened between them? They once loved each other.¡±


    ¡°How was I supposed to know? All I knew was that she came to his office half naked, and then the securities came.¡±


    ¡°Poor woman,¡± Stephanie pitied, ¡°and less, I forget, when did you get back home from that business trip?¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± I trailed off when I noticed that there was a change inside the restaurant. Everyone seemed to be super quiet and attentive, and I also turned my head to see what was happening.


    ¡°What is he doing here?¡± Stephanie murmured to herself.


    It was Jason, and I knew I was the one he was searching for with the way his eyes were moving everywhere.


    ¡°I¡¯m here,¡± I said as I was getting out of my seat.


    He saw me, smiled, and motioned for me to follow him.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Stephanie asked me


    ¡°I will catch up with youter. I got to go,¡± I said to her as I pushed back my chair and followed him.


    ¡°Why did you leave your phone behind?¡± Jason asked me when we got inside the elevator.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to; I forgot to take it along with me.¡± I liked


    ¡°I¡¯ve called you more than ten times. You got me worried.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to.¡±


    ¡°And what are you doing with that girl?¡± Jason asked


    ¡°Which girl?


    ¡°You know the girl I¡¯m talking about, Stephanie.¡±


    ¡°She is my friend.¡±


    ¡°Your friend?¡± Jason asked curiously.


    ¡°Yeah, my friend. I¡¯ve known her since my first day here.¡±


    ¡°And you didn¡¯t care to tell me about it,¡± Jason said furiously.


    ¡°Why should I? Don¡¯t I deserve to have friends?¡± I asked back angrily.


    Jason sighed and tried to calm down before speaking again.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean it that way. What I was trying to say is that she isn¡¯t the type of person that I want you to be moving with.¡±


    ¡°But she is a good person.¡±


    ¡°I know she is, but you can¡¯t understand. I have my reasons. Just stay away from her. She isn¡¯t someone you can move with. Will you do that for me?¡± Will you?¡±


    ¡°If that is what you want, yes, I will.¡±


    ¡°Thank you¡±


    ¡°You are wee.¡±


    ¡°And your lunch is waiting for you in my office.¡±

 Chapter 22

    ¡°Jason, I mean, you should seriouslye and watch this movie with me; it¡¯s really interesting,¡± I said to Jason, who was busy typing away on hisptop.


    ¡°Give me five.¡±


    ¡°That was what you said about fifteen minutes ago.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m serious right now.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m waiting.¡±


    Heter joined me in seven minutes, and I continued my Adam Lee movie from where I stopped, and for a good one hour after we started watching the movie, I had to pause the movie in order to exin to Jason who and what was happening.


    Adam Lee has been away to the ¡®city of D dead¡¯ where women were forbidden to step foot on for good one month because he was searching for powers and ways to destroy the powerful, wicked princess Emily, but he missed his lover and couldn¡¯t take it anymore, so he left the ¡®city of D dead¡¯ to meet his lover, Jessica, who was hiding in the woods away from princess Emily, who wanted her dead.


    Jessica couldn¡¯t believe her eyes when she saw her lover, and before we knew what was happening, they were already making love.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Is this what you¡¯ve been watching all alone?¡± Jason joked while I just smiled, ¡°Damn, and you expect me to watch this without putting it inside. I think I¡¯m going to be getting more serious with this movie.


    I shifted more toward him because there was no way I was watching that scene without rubbing my skin on his.


    ¡°I was trying to be calm, but seeing you yearning for the startler awakens the beast in me. Come over here,e and ride the starter.¡±


    My pussycat was already throbbing before I got out of my seat to draw up my short peplum skirt while he pulled down his trousers.


    ¡°Turn around,¡± hemanded.


    I turned around, making him face my back, and slowly sat on his dick, which was as hard as a rock. I closed my eyes, pulled out my tongue, ced my hands on his thighs, and rxed myself to the tingling feelings of being filled.


    He ced his hands on my waist and used them to pull me down harder on his cock until he growled, trembled, and came inside me.


    ¡°I think we¡¯ve missed the movie,¡± he said.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    We got to work a little bitte on Thursday morning due to ourst-minute sex and started a peaceful day until the arrival of Sofia, who spoiled Jason¡¯s mood. I think she threatened him with something, but he wouldn¡¯t talk about it.


    During lunch time, Jason asked me a question that bordered me a bit.


    ¡°Lexi,¡± he called.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Are you on the pills?¡±


    ¡°Pills?¡±


    ¡°I mean, are you on any family n?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m on the pill. I¡¯m always on the pill,¡± I replied.


    Wait a minute. When was thest time I saw my period?. I asked myself. Before you met Jason, my subconscious replied.


    ¡°Okay,¡± he sighed.


    ¡°Why do you ask?¡±


    ¡°It just crossed my mind.¡±


    I was restless the whole day because, even though I was sure that I was on the pill, I was also sure that I¡¯d missed my period for some weeks now.


    When we got home, I took Jason¡¯sptop while he was in his study, receiving some business calls, and Google searched for what was bothering me.


    ¡®Is it possible for a woman to miss her period while she¡¯s on birth control?


    Thankfully, Google said it was possible, but the result didn¡¯t give me the satisfaction that I wanted. So, I nned to buy a pregnancy test on my way home tomorrow evening, which was Friday.


    I ced Jason¡¯sptop back where it was and pretended to be asleep when I heard his footsteps.


    Hey down on his side of the bed and shifted closer to me.


    ¡°Lexi,¡± he whispered, and started rubbing his hand on my body. ¡°I love you.¡± I blinked, but he didn¡¯t notice. ¡°I know I¡¯ve not said this to your face before because I don¡¯t know how you¡¯re going to react, but I always say it to you every night, every morning, and every second.¡± He sighed heavily. ¡°I don¡¯t want to rush you, but I truly love you. I¡¯ve loved you since the day I set my eyes on you. You don¡¯t know what it means to me to see you by my side every night and to see you wake up with me the next day. Don¡¯t you ever leave me. I don¡¯t know what is going to happen to me if you do. Don¡¯t you just ever leave me.¡±


    I stayed awake until his breathing became shallow and his hand cked down on my body.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    I could feel someone waking me up, and I sluggishly opened my eyes.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± a blurry version of Jason said while smiling.


    ¡°Good morning.¡± I yawned and stretched myself.


    ¡°Time to wake up,¡± he said on his way to the restroom.


    I sluggishly got out of bed and felt a little bit sick. It¡¯s either I was making it up or I was just noticing it.


    ¡°Lexi, there is no big deal in missing your period,¡± I told myself.


    ¡°But you haven¡¯t missed it before,¡± my subconscious said back.


    ¡°What is that supposed to mean when I¡¯m on the pill?¡±


    ¡°Nothing,¡± my subconscious answered. ¡°I¡¯m just reasoning with you.¡±


    ¡°Reason with yourself,¡± I said back angrily.


    I joined Jason in the shower, which surprised him since this was my first time doing so, and I did the ¡®touched the wall¡¯ style to bnce myself as he rammed inside my pussycat since our shower session turned into a sex session.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    ¡°Jason,¡± I called while I was dressing up.


    ¡°Yes,¡± he replied from the bedroom.


    ¡°I won¡¯t being back here with you today.¡±


    ¡°You joking? Or what¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m serious. I¡¯m going out with my friend.¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you tell me about this before?¡± He asked


    ¡°Because¡­ I don¡¯t know. It slipped out of my mind.¡±


    ¡°And you expect me to sleep all alone tonight? Can¡¯t I go with you?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s girls night, and it¡¯s not going to be forever, baby; it¡¯s just for a night.¡±


    ¡°Did you just call me ¡®baby¡¯?¡± He asked joyously.


    ¡°Yeah, is something wrong with it?¡±


    ¡°No. It¡¯s cute. It¡¯s really cute. You are free to go, just for tonight.¡±


    ¡°Okay baby¡±


    ¡°Oh my God, you are making me go crazy by saying that word alone.¡±


    The strange caller continued to frustrate me with his calls, so I decided to put my phone on silent, which helped a little bit.


    About one hour before closing for the week, I called Cynthia.


    ¡°Atst, you remember me,¡± she said.


    ¡°Did you also call me?¡± I asked


    ¡°I was waiting for the time that you would realize that you still have a friend.¡±


    ¡°Are you ying jealous now?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not ying jealous; I¡¯m jealous for real. You didn¡¯t even bother to text me amon ¡®hi¡¯ for two days, and you expect me not to be jealous.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡±


    ¡°Your billionaire¡¯s boyfriend is the one to be med, and what¡¯s up? What about his friends?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve not met any.¡±


    ¡°So, what have you been doing?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re going to talk when we see Cynthia; let¡¯s talk about tonight.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­ okay. I¡¯ve made the preparation; all you have to do is get your ass down here without your boyfriend tagging along because I¡¯m sure that man is ready to follow you to hell if it¡¯s possible.¡±


    ¡°Stop saying that about him; he is in the next office.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I will be expecting you tonight. Bye.¡±


    ¡°Bye¡±


    I hung up the phone and almost dropped it.


    ¡°Stop doing this to me,¡± I said annoyingly.


    ¡°You look cuter when you¡¯re angry at me,¡± he smirked. ¡°What was she saying about me?¡±


    ¡°Who?¡± I asked, ying dumb.


    ¡°Your girlfriend, your best friend, whichever one.¡±


    ¡°Oh, she said you¡¯re the hottest man she has ever seen.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to take that answer from you, even though I¡¯m sure that wasn¡¯t what she said. He bent down and kissed me on the nose before raising my head up to meet his


    ¡°I¡¯m going to miss you tonight.¡±


    ¡°Me too¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think that I should get some from you before you leave me for a whole night?¡±


    ¡°My always hungry boyfriend,¡± I praised


    ¡°Of course I am. When ites to you, I am. I just can¡¯t get enough of you physically, emotionally, and sexually.¡±


    ¡°I wondered how many girls you¡¯ve said that too.¡±


    ¡°You and only you,¡± he said, and he started giving me that manly, hot look that always set the butterflies in my stomach flying.


    ¡°Stop giving me that look; you aren¡¯t getting any this evening,¡± I joked.


    His eyes went down the moment I said this, and a lot of things were written all over it. For example, rejection.


    ¡°You don¡¯t like me any more?¡± He asked worriedly


    ¡°Why will you be saying that? I said you weren¡¯t getting any this evening.¡±


    ¡°There are only three reasons for that statement. It¡¯s either you stop liking me, or my dick, or my sexual styles.¡±


    ¡°Jason, you¡¯re overthinking this. I was just joking around with you.¡±


    ¡°Or maybe you¡¯re tired of me.


    ¡°Stop talking that way. I love you,¡± I dered.

 Chapter 23

    ¡°You love¡­ me?¡± He asked unbelievably and gestured by hitting himself across the chest.


    ¡°Of course I do. I love you,¡± I repeated.


    ¡°You truly love me?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I love Jason Stokes, my arrogant but childish CEO.¡±


    He picked me up instantly, started circling with a wide smile sttered on his face, and put me back down after the sixth round.


    He put his mouth on mine the moment my foot touched the ground and said, ¡°I love you too,¡± into my mouth.


    He stopped kissing me after some seconds and rushed out of my office into the hallway. I followed him and wondered what was going on.


    ¡°Lexi Tyler is my girlfriend! I¡¯m her boyfriend!¡± He screamed


    People started rushing out of their offices to see what was going on in the hallway.


    ¡°I love her! And she loves me!¡±


    I was ashamed of his childish behavior, but there was nothing I could do but smile when everyone was smiling and waving at me.


    He moved to where I was standing, and before I knew what was happening, he was already kissing me in front of everyone.


    I heard screams, whoas, and ps. And I was sure that I was as red as a tomato by the time he was through with me.


    ¡°Lexi Tyler is my girlfriend,¡± he said once more while raising my hand before motioning me back to my office.


    I heard people saying ¡®congrattions¡¯ as we were heading back to my office, but I couldn¡¯t say a thing because I still couldn¡¯t believe what Jason just did.


    ¡°What was that all about?¡± I asked when I was sure that we were alone.


    ¡°I was iming you as mine, marking my territory. No man shalle near Lexi Tyler because she belongs to me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not a thing.¡±


    ¡°Of course, you¡¯re not a thing; you¡¯re someone, and you belong to me and me alone. I¡¯m the happiest man on Earth today,¡± he pulled off his suit and started fanning himself with it. ¡°This weather is too hot.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so because I¡¯m not feeling it.¡±


    ¡°Of course you can¡¯t. Only men do so. Only men can feel this type of heat. We¡¯re supposed to celebrate this if you didn¡¯t have anything nned for tonight.¡±


    ¡°But I have, so we will be celebrating itter.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t you just change your mind?¡± he said frustratedly. ¡°Why are you always proving stubborn?¡±


    ¡°Because I have a friend who will be waiting for me at the club.¡±


    ¡°Ok then,¡± he said submissively, ¡°let me get my car key and give you a ride to your house.¡±


    ¡°No need; I can manage.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be like this, Lexi; you¡¯re my girlfriend, for God¡¯s sake. I will be back in a few¡±


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    I stopped him at a pharmacy.


    ¡°Why are we stopping?¡± He asked inquisitively.


    ¡°Judith told me to get her something.¡± I lied.


    He lost his seatbelt and was about to open the door when I stopped him.


    ¡°It¡¯s notpulsory that youe with me; let me just get it. I will be back soon.¡± I shifted to him and pecked him on the cheek.


    ¡°Okay. I¡¯m waiting¡±


    ¡°I will soon be back,¡± I said as I headed out of the car.


    I got the pregnancy test and carefully hid it inside my purse before heading out of the pharmacy.


    ¡°You¡¯re done¡±


    ¡°Yeah, thank you.¡±


    ¡°Anything for my girlfriend.¡±


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    ¡®Congrat girl, I heard what happened this afternoon, I¡¯m so happy for you¡¯ Stephanie texted me on my way to the club.


    Of course, she wouldn¡¯t have known about it because she was on the third floor while I was on the fourth.


    ¡®Thank you¡¯ I texted back.


    I got out of the taxi, entered the club, and spotted Cynthia at our usual table. Cynthia¡¯s face brightened up when she saw me, and she got out of her seat in order to give me a hug.


    ¡°Lexi, sweetheart, I¡¯m so happy for you,¡± she shouted over the music.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± I shouted back.


    We both ordered Bailey¡¯s matini and started our girls night.


    Two hourster


    I was feeling pressed in my dder, so, I excused myself to use the restroom. After using the restroom, I stood in front of the mirror to reapplied my lipstick when a huge manly woman came in. At first, I wasn¡¯t bother but I became scared when she stood at my back and kept staring at my reflection in the mirror.


    I summoned all the courage in me and faced her ¡°how may I help you?¡± I asked and the next thing I knew was that my back hit a wall and a knife was ced on my neck.


    My eyes became widen with terror instantly and I started inhaling heavily


    ¡°Stay away from Jason. He is mine. I knew what happened in the office today and I¡¯m not going to be this nice the next time we meet¡± she threatened


    She took the knife away from my neck, ced it back inside her pocket and left the restroom the same way she came in.


    I breathe in air heavily until my heart beat came back to normal, puked inside the zinc and sshed some water on my face before leaving the restroom.


    ¡°What took you so long?¡± Cynthia asked when I was back on my seat ¡°and why are you this pale?¡±


    ¡°Nothing¡± I repliedCcontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Jason arrived some minutes ago¡± Cynthia said ¡°He left to get drinks for himself and his friend¡±


    ¡°Jason¡± I thought ¡°what if that woman is still watching me¡±


    ¡°Lexi!¡± Cynthia called


    ¡°Jason and his friend are here?¡± I asked


    ¡°Of course. Can¡¯t you see the guy sitting next to you¡±


    ¡°Guy¡­ sitting next to me¡± I looked at my left side and saw an extremely beautiful man smiling at me.


    ¡°Hi, I¡¯m John, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you¡± the beautiful man said while stretching out his hand for an handshake


    ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Lexi. Nice meeting you¡± I took his hand


    ¡°Nice meeting you too¡±


    ¡°Are you sure you are okay?¡± Cynthia asked


    ¡°Of¡­ of course, I am¡± I stammered ¡°where is Jason?¡±


    ¡°He is almost here¡± John replied


    Jason dropped their drinks on the table and wrapped his hands around my neck from the back


    ¡°Baby, I¡¯m sorry if I spoil your night. I¡¯m not just okay without you by my side¡± Jason whispered into my ears, pecked me and took the seat by my right.


    ¡°This is John, my closest friend¡± Jason said


    ¡°I¡¯ve met him¡± I replied while scanning the club for the woman


    ¡°Lexi!¡± Cynthia called and gave me the look which meant ¡®what is it?¡¯ and I shook my head in response


    ¡°Can we leave now?¡± I whispered into Jason¡¯s ears


    He put down his drink the moment he heard this and gave me an intensed look


    ¡°Is it because I came here?¡± He sadly asked


    ¡°No, it has nothing to do with you; I just want to leave.¡±


    ¡°Baby, is something wrong?¡±


    ¡°No, let¡¯s just leave,¡± I said harder.


    ¡°You¡¯re scaring me. Is something wrong?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave first,¡± I said, got out of my seat, and staggered.


    ¡°Watch out,¡± Jason said.


    I turned around and faced Cynthia.


    ¡°We¡¯re leaving,¡± I said.


    ¡°Why?¡± Cynthia asked worriedly.


    ¡°Nothing,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Please, can I talk to her for a minute?¡± Cynthia said to Jason.


    ¡°Yes sure¡±


    Cynthia drew me away from their side and asked, ¡°Are you sure everything is alright?¡±


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so; I know you. You¡¯ve been acting strange since you came back from the restroom. Is there something I need to know?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Cynthia; I¡¯m not just feeling fine.¡±


    ¡°Ok, then, we¡¯re going to talkter.¡±


    ¡°Alright, bye¡±

 Chapter 24

    I woke up due to Jason¡¯s phone, which had been ringing repeatedly for some time, and tapped him to wake up.


    ¡°I know, it¡¯s my dad.¡±


    ¡°Pick it up.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to. I know what he wants to talk about,¡± he said sadly.


    ¡°Is it about me?¡±


    ¡°Why will he be talking about my beautiful princess?¡± He gave me a peck on the cheek while his phone stopped ringing. ¡°Good morning, love.¡±


    ¡°Good morning¡±


    His phone started ringing again, and Jason¡¯s face lit up with an idea.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do something,¡± he said.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re going to pick this phone up and tell Dad that I¡¯m still sleeping.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not doing that.¡±


    ¡°Of course you will.¡±


    ¡°Why will I?¡±


    ¡°Because I told you too, I¡¯m your boss.¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t job-rted.¡±


    ¡°Are youining?¡±


    ¡°Asshole¡±


    He smirked at me since he knew that he had won the argument and handed me his phone.


    ¡°Hello,¡± I said into the phone.


    ¡°Put it on speaker,¡± Jason whispered while I eyed him.


    ¡°Hello, who is this?¡± His father asked


    ¡°This is Lexi Tyler, Mr. Stokes secretary.¡±


    ¡°What are you doing with his phone?¡± His father¡¯s angry voice sted through the speaker.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry to tell you this, but Mr. Stokes is unavable right now.¡±


    ¡°Because he is still sleeping by my side,¡± Jason mouthed.


    ¡°Because he is still sleeping.¡±


    ¡°Give me the phone,¡± a feminine voice said in the background, and I was sure that was Jason¡¯s mom¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Give the phone to Jason now,¡± the angry female voice said into the receiver, and because I had no idea what to say, I hung up the call.


    Jason threw back his head and startedughing as if he had won a lottery.


    ¡°I swear, mom is freaking out now. She doesn¡¯t know what is going on. She will be like, Why is Jason¡¯s secretary in his house early on a Saturday morning? Oh my God.¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t funny,¡± I said to him, throwing his phone at him.


    ¡°Of course it is. You can¡¯t understand.¡±


    I got out of bed and headed to the restroom when Jason¡¯s voice stopped me.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to give me good morning sex?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think my boss has any ess to my body,¡± I replied, and I left him without turning back.


    I got inside the shower and sat down in the tub just to think about all the strange things that have been happening to metely.


    1. How Peter almost raped me


    2. The strange caller


    3. How does Dixie know about me and Jason?


    4. How I was being threatened with a knife.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    I was grateful that Jason didn¡¯t bother to ask me about whatst night panic was all about, and I continued my Adam Lee movie while Jason was receiving some business calls in his study.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Later that night, Judith called me and asked me if I coulde home on Sunday to help her feed Mama, our dog, because she was going on a business trip.


    ¡°I will be home,¡± was my reply.


    Why won¡¯t I? When she was all I have, when she sacrificed her own youthful stage to be my parents, She gave me a roof toy my head on, she clothed me, she fed me, and she also sent me to school. And it was also going to give me a chance to do the pregnancy test.


    ¡°Jason,¡± I called.


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°I have to go home tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Because Judith is going on a business trip, and she wants me to take care of Mama.¡±


    ¡°Mama?¡± Jason asked with confusion written all over his face.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not what you¡¯re thinking,¡± Iughed. ¡°It¡¯s a dog.¡±


    ¡°Dog? You named a dog ¡®Mama¡¯? Who does that?¡±


    ¡°My sister does,¡± I replied.


    ¡°She has to be very pretty then.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a¡¯she¡¯, it¡¯s a ¡®he''¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute! You sister named a ¡®dog¡¯ Mama; I was even thinking it was a ¡®bitch''¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s my sister for you.¡±


    ¡°And you have to leave for a whole day?¡±


    ¡°Yup¡±


    ¡°We can hire someone to take care of the dog.¡±


    ¡°Judith doesn¡¯t trust someone else with her dog.¡±


    ¡°But she wouldn¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°Of course, she will.¡±


    ¡°The person is going to take care of it very well; I can guarantee you that.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s going to hurt her if sheter finds out that I didn¡¯t do it myself.¡±


    ¡°Ok, fine,¡± he surrendered.


    ¡°Are you angry with me or what?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not angry with you, babe.¡± He sighed. ¡°I¡¯m just thinking about how I¡¯m going to survive a whole day without you by my side.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re going to be fine.¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯m going to miss you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not forever; it¡¯s just for a day and a night¡±


    ¡°A day and night without you are like a hundred years in darkness.¡±


    ¡°I will miss you too. You know that, right? I love you so much.¡±


    ¡°I love you too,¡± he replied before putting his mouth on mine.


    His kiss became intense, and our legs got entangled in each other.


    ¡°I have no option but to eat tomorrow¡¯s food too in advance,¡± he said into my mouth.


    ¡°It¡¯s for a day and a night, not forever,¡± I said back.

 Chapter 25

    Although Jason wasn¡¯t happy with the fact that I was going to be away for a day, he still dropped me off with a long, loving kiss.


    I took out the pregnancy test as soon as I was in my room, read and followed the instructions, and sat in front of my clock for the five longest and scariest minutes that were going to determine my future.


    After five minutes, I took out the pregnancy test with my heart ringing in my ears and looked for the signs.


    Lo and behold, I was pregnant because there were two strong lines staring back at me, and I blinked twice to confirm that I wasn¡¯t dreaming.


    I was scared and sad on one side because I knew Judith wouldn¡¯t be too happy with me because she had always talked about how glorious and wonderful my wedding day would be, and on the other, what if Jason didn¡¯t want kids?


    And on the other hand, I was happy that a life was growing in me. A life that I and Jason made.


    I dropped the pregnancy test and went to my mirror, pulled up my top, and checked my still-t stomach.


    ¡°Hello cutie,¡± I said while rubbing my stomach. ¡°How are you doing in there?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, mom,¡± I imagined the baby saying.


    ¡°Of course, I know you are. Nice meeting you, cutie.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve been together for a whole month, mom,¡± my baby said back.


    ¡°But I¡¯m just meeting you officially.¡±


    ¡°We officially met the day dad finalized mying.¡±


    ¡°Do you think dad will be d to meet you?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I know he will be.¡±


    I left the mirror and went for my phone. I was about to dial Jason¡¯s number but talked myself out of it.


    ¡°It¡¯s better we talk face-to-face,¡± I thought.


    I dialed Cynthia¡¯s number instead, and she picked up on the second ring.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Cynthia said


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, are you busy?¡±


    ¡°No, just watching ¡®Jessica¡¯, you?¡±Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Jessica, that was the name of the Adam Lee movie we have been watching.


    ¡°I¡¯m doing nothing right now.¡±


    ¡°Why? Isn¡¯t your super hot boyfriend home?¡±


    ¡°He is not with me right now; I¡¯m at home.¡±


    ¡°You mean¡­ with your sister?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, but my sister isn¡¯t home right now. Do you want toe?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I even have to talk to you about that guy.¡±


    ¡°Which guy?¡±


    ¡°John¡±


    ¡°You mean Jason¡¯s friend?¡±


    ¡°Absolutely¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait to see you, girl.¡±


    ¡°I will be on my way in five.¡±


    ¡°I will be expecting you.¡±


    I hung up the phone and continued my Adam Lee movie until her arrival.


    We both continued the movie before our conversation turned to what happened after I and Jason left the club on Friday night.


    ¡°So, John offered you a ride home,¡± I added.


    ¡°Exactly. He offered me a ride home, and, you know, both of us were drunk. I said ¡®thank you¡¯ quietly since our entire journey was in silence and I was about to get down from his car when he pulled me to himself, and from there, you know, things got heated.¡±


    ¡°And you guys did it in his car?¡±


    ¡°Of course. It was fun,fortable, and the way he did it was unexinable.¡±


    ¡°I think you are still drunk, baby girl, but I¡¯m happy for you.¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be; it¡¯s not as if we¡¯re a couple.¡±


    ¡°I know, but seeing you this happy makes me happy.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, sweetheart.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re wee¡±


    I wished to tell Cynthia about the new life that was growing in me, but I talked myself out of it because I wanted Jason to be the first person to hear about it since he was the father.


    Cynthia left around three that afternoon, and I was once again left with my movie. Five minutes after Cynthia¡¯s departure, someone knocked on the door.


    I paused my movie, got out of the couch, and opened the door with the thought that it was Cynthia, that maybe she forgot something but got the scariest surprise of my life instead.


    ¡°Adrian Stokes,¡± I thought.


    ¡°Good afternoon, sir,¡± I stammered.


    ¡°May Ie in?¡± He asked when he was already halfway in.


    I closed the door and wondered what was about to go down.


    ¡°It¡¯s all Jason¡¯s fault.¡± I thought, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t be here facing his dad if not for yesterday¡¯s phone call.¡±


    I sat across from him and started ying with my fingers since he wasn¡¯t talking and I didn¡¯t know what to say or offer him.


    ¡°Lexi Tyler, if I¡¯m right,¡± he finally said.


    ¡°Yes sir¡±


    ¡°How did you and my son meet?¡±


    ¡°At my sister¡¯s boss¡¯s birthday party.¡±


    ¡°And you decided to y some tricks on him since you knew who he was.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about, sir.¡±


    ¡°Exin to me how someone like you got employed in my ownpany.¡± He asked and angrily threw a file on the table.


    I scanned my brain for a good answer, but since there wasn¡¯t, I said the truth.


    ¡°Your son hired me.¡±


    ¡°Because you fooled him with your body.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do that.¡±


    ¡°You wouldn¡¯t say you did.¡±


    ¡°But I didn¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not here to argue with you, youngdy. Just stay away from my son. He already has a fiance, and if it¡¯s money you need, I¡¯m ready to pay you any amount.¡±


    He brought out a checkbook and a pen from his suit pocket, tore a leaf out of the checkbook, and started writing on it.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to do that, sir.¡±


    ¡°Wait until you see the amount.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not with your son because of his cash.¡±


    He stopped writing and passed me the check.


    ¡°I¡¯m not taking that,¡± I rejected.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have an option.¡±


    I took the check from him and checked the amount of $100, 000.


    ¡°You want me to leave your son for this amount?¡±


    ¡°I can double it or triple it.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want your money.¡±


    He tore out another check leaf and started writing on it.


    ¡°I¡¯m not taking that from you.¡±


    He looked up from what he was writing and gave me a threatening look. ¡°It¡¯s either you take this check and leave my son for good or you cross paths with me and regret it with your life.¡±


    ¡°Are you threatening me?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s your word against mine,¡± he said, getting out of the couch and dropping the check leaf on the table. ¡°That is a $1, 000, 000 check, and with that $100, 000 check, that makes it $1, 100, 000. Take that cash and leave this country forever.¡±


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    I thought about it for hours before I finally made up my mind.


    ¡°Jason, I¡¯m sorry,¡± I thought.

 Chapter 26

    JASON STOKES


    ¡°Mr. Stokes, the car is now parked safely in your garage,¡± Jada reported.


    ¡°And what about Lexi?¡± I demanded, frustration creeping into my voice.


    ¡°She¡¯s still unreachable,¡± Jada replied.


    ¡°Then make her reachable! Do something! I¡¯m not paying you for excuses!¡± I snapped.


    ¡°We¡¯re doing everything we can, Mr. Stokes,¡± she said, her calm and professional demeanor making me feel a pang of guilt.


    ¡°She should have been here four hours ago!¡± I eximed.


    ¡°Sir, I¡¯m working on it,¡± she reassured me.


    ¡°Stop telling me you¡¯re working on it and tell me exactly what you¡¯re doing,¡± I insisted.


    ¡°I¡¯ve sent one of the security guards to her house to see what¡¯s going on,¡± she exined.


    ¡°Give me a tangible reason why you couldn¡¯t go there yourself,¡± I demanded, my patience wearing thin.


    ¡°Because I was waiting for the car¡¯s delivery,¡± Jada responded.


    ¡°Just get out of my office. Now!¡± I barked, unable to hide my irritation.


    After she left, I picked up my phone and dialed Lexi¡¯s number for the hundredth time, but it still wasn¡¯t reachable. A sense of dread washed over me. Something bad must have happened. Today was supposed to be a happy day-a celebration of our rtionship. The car was waiting for her in my garage, but she hadn¡¯t shown up at the office or called to say something was wrong.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    Twenty minutester, Jada¡¯s voice interrupted my anxious thoughts. ¡°Sir,¡± she called tentatively.


    ¡°You better have good news,¡± I snapped, barely holding back my frustration.


    ¡°Her apartment is locked,¡± she said.


    ¡°And?¡± I demanded impatiently.


    ¡°There was no one in the house, ording to the security guard.¡±


    A surge of panic hit me. I shot out of my seat, my phone clutched tightly in my hand, and stormed toward the door. ¡°Get me her sister¡¯s number!¡± I barked over my shoulder.


    ¡°Sir?¡± Jada sounded confused but obedient.


    ¡°You heard me,¡± I growled. ¡°Judith. Judith Tyler. Get me her number as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Consider it done,¡± she responded, her tone now urgent.


    I hurried to the elevator, my mind racing. As I descended to the car park, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. Each second felt like an eternity. Lexi had never gone this long without contacting me. Today was supposed to be one of the happiest days of our lives-a celebration of our love. I had nned everything down to thest detail, including the surprise waiting for her in my garage.


    But now, an icy dread crept through my veins. I couldn¡¯t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. Why hadn¡¯t she shown up? Why hadn¡¯t she called? What if she was hurt or worse?


    When the elevator doors opened, I rushed to my car, fumbling with my keys. I slid into the driver¡¯s seat, my hands shaking as I started the engine. I dialed Lexi¡¯s number again, desperation wing at me as I sped out of the parking lot and onto the streets. The call went straight to voicemail, the silence on the other end deepening my fear.


    The drive to her apartment felt like it took forever, though I must have broken every speed limit along the way. My thoughts raced just as quickly, reying every possible scenario. Had she been in an ident? Was she in danger? Every unanswered call only amplified my dread.


    When I finally arrived at her apartment building, I practically leaped out of the car. The building loomed ominously in the twilight, each window a dark, unhelpful square.


    I pounded on the main door, calling her name. ¡°Lexi! Lexi, are you in there?¡± There was no response. My mind churned with worry. I knocked again, harder this time, feeling the vibrations echo through the apartment.


    I turned away, my thoughts scrambling for the next move. As I made my way back to the car, my phone buzzed. I snatched it up, hoping for news. It was Jada.


    ¡°I¡¯ve got Judith Tyler¡¯s number, sir,¡± she said quickly.


    ¡°Text it to me,¡± I replied curtly, my voice strained with anxiety.


    Momentster, the number popped up on my screen. I dialed it immediately, praying for an answer, any clue to Lexi¡¯s whereabouts. The phone rang, each tone stretching my nerves tighter until I heard a hesitant voice on the other end.


    ¡°Hello?¡± Judith¡¯s voice crackled through the line.


    ¡°Judith?,¡± I said, my voice shaking.


    ¡°Who am I speaking with?¡±


    I swallowed hard and replied. ¡°This is Jason. Jason Stokes, Lexi¡¯s boyfriend.¡± I added slowly.


    I didn¡¯t know if Lexi had mentioned me to Judith, but at this moment, I didn¡¯t care.


    ¡°Yes, how may I help you?¡± Judith¡¯s voice sounded wary, and I could sense her hesitation.


    ¡°Please, can you help me get through to Lexi? I¡¯ve been trying to call her since morning, but she isn¡¯t reachable,¡± I said, the urgency clear in my voice.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t she supposed to be in the office right now?¡± Judith asked, concern creeping in.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t, and I can¡¯t get a hold of her,¡± I exined.


    I swept through my hair in frustration , my mind racing with every possible exnation for her absence. ¡°I¡¯m at your door now, and it¡¯s locked,¡± I said to Judith. ¡°Lexi! Lexi!¡± I shouted, my voice echoing off the walls as I approached her window, peering inside.


    ¡°I spoke to her this morning,¡± Judith said, her tone now tinged with worry. ¡°There was nothing wrong. Let me try her number, and if I can¡¯t reach her, I¡¯ll call Cynthia. Maybe she¡¯s with her or something.¡±


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I replied, my voice cracking under the weight of my concern.


    I hung up the phone, panic surging through me, and slid open Lexi¡¯s window. The room beyond was eerily empty, yet a chaotic scene of clothes strewn everywhere made my heart sink. The realization hit me instantly: Lexi was gone.


    ¡°NOOOOOOOOO!¡± I screamed, the word tearing from my throat as I hoisted myself through the window. ¡°No! This can¡¯t be happening,¡± I muttered frantically, stumbling through the room. ¡°Lexi, don¡¯t do this to me!¡±


    I rushed to her bedroom, my heart hammering in my chest so hard I could barely breathe. A cold sweat broke out on my skin despite the cool air. Her closet door hung wide open, revealing bare shelves and hangers. The sight of her missing sponge case and toothbrush confirmed my worst fears-she had left, and she had taken her essentials with her.


    My phone rang, jolting me from my panic. I answered without checking the caller ID, my hand shaking.


    ¡°Hello?¡± Judith¡¯s voice came through the line, bringing a faint sense of grounding.


    ¡°Hello,¡± I replied, my voice barely a whisper.


    ¡°I just finished talking to Cynthia,¡± Judith said. ¡°They¡¯re not together.¡±


    ¡°Did she have any idea where Lexi might be?¡± I asked, gripping the phone tighter, hoping for a sliver of information that could exin this nightmare.


    ¡°She said no,¡± Judith answered, her voice heavy with concern. ¡°Thest time she saw Lexi was yesterday afternoon, and they talked this morning. Lexi didn¡¯t mention anything unusual.¡±


    I sank onto the bed, my mind reeling. The morning had seemed so normal, so full of promise, and now it felt like the ground had been ripped out from under me. How could everything fall apart so quickly?


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I said, my voice trembling.


    ¡°I¡¯m on my way home too,¡± Judith said, though her own worry was evident. ¡±


    I was staring into space, my mind numb, when I noticed her phone on the bed. ¡°She isn¡¯t with her phone,¡± I said to Judith, picking it up, feeling its weight like a lifeline.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t with her phone?¡± Judith echoed, her voice rising with rm.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s here with me right now,¡± I replied, the strangeness of the situation hitting me harder. ¡°Why would she leave without it?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. This doesn¡¯t make any sense.¡±


    I sighed, feeling the frustration and confusion mount. I pulled out a stic chair and sank into it, trying to piece together the scattered fragments of what had happened.


    That¡¯s when I saw it-a small piece of paper lying quietly on her table, almost hidden among the clutter. I picked it up, and my heart sank as I read the two simple words written on it: ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s gone,¡± I said, my voice barely audible, the words catching in my throat.


    ¡°Excuse me, what¡¯s going on?¡± Judith¡¯s voice cut through the haze.


    ¡°Lexi is gone,¡± I repeated, the reality of it crashing down on me.


    ¡°Gone? Gone to where? I¡¯m on my way home right now,¡± Judith said, panic edging her voice.


    I hung up the phone and bolted out of the window like a madman, those two words echoing in my mind. I scrambled into my car and drove back to the office, the engine roaring as I sped through the streets, my thoughts a chaotic whirl of fear and desperation.


    ¡°Find her! Find her!¡± my mind screamed, a frantic mantra that spurred me on.


    I rushed through the building, my heart pounding in my chest, bursting into her office only to find it as empty and still as when I had left it. The starkness of the space mirrored the void now expanding within me.


    Iid the phone on her desk, the ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± note beside it, the only clues to her sudden disappearance. I copsed into her chair, the weight of the situation pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe. Where could she have gone? Why did she leave? Questions swirled with no answers, the silence in the office growing heavier with each passing moment.


    I felt a hollow ache as I stared at her empty desk, the echoes of ourst conversation ying through my mind. I could see her smile, hear herugh, feel the warmth of her presence, and now, the stark reality of her absence was almost too much to bear. I had nned everything for us today, every detail to make her happy, and now it had all crumbled into confusion and loss.


    The day that was supposed to be filled with joy had turned into a nightmare, and I was left with nothing but the hollow echo of her absence and the haunting note that offered no sce. Desperation wed at me, and I knew I had to find her, to understand why she had left.


    Slowly, I rose to my feet and made my way to my own office, my mind still reeling from the chaos of the past hour. As I entered, I heard a voice dripping with sarcasm.


    ¡°Finally,¡± Sofia said, lounging in one of the chairs as if she owned the ce.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    ¡°Sofia, I¡¯m not in the mood,¡± I muttered, irritationcing my words.


    ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t you be in the mood when I am?¡± she replied, her eyes glinting with mischief.


    ¡°Sofia, just go straight to the point. What do you want?¡± I demanded, walking to my desk, my patience worn thin.


    ¡°The same thing I¡¯ve always wanted,¡± she said, her voice sultry. ¡°You.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you before, you¡¯re no longer my taste,¡± I shot back, settling into my chair, fatigue weighing me down.


    ¡°Give me a chance to prove you wrong if you¡¯re so sure of yourself,¡± she purred, rising from her seat and sauntering over to me, her hips swaying provocatively.


    ¡°I¡¯m not here to y games, Sofia,¡± I warned, my tone sharp.


    ¡°I really miss you, Jason,¡± she said, her voice softening as she took a seat across from me, leaning forward, her eyes pleading.


    ¡°Say that to Steve,¡± I snapped, the memory of betrayal still raw. ¡°Thest guy I caught you fucking.¡±


    ¡°I told you I¡¯m sorry,¡± she protested, her voice a mixture of anger and desperation.


    ¡°How many times do you expect me to take your apologies? How many times, huh?¡± My voice rose with each word, anger ring. ¡°I caught you fucking that guy on our bed, Sofia. You were fucking him on our bed, and you expect me to be calm with it?¡±


    ¡°What else do you want me to say?¡± she asked, frustration and hurt battling in her eyes.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want you to say anything. I just want you to leave me alone,¡± I said, my voice cold and final.


    ¡°Is it because of her?¡± Sofia¡¯s eyes flicked toward Lexi¡¯s office, bitterness creeping into her tone.


    ¡°Yeah, because of her. I love her! You get it? I fucking love her!¡± I shouted, the intensity of my feelings for Lexi spilling over, my frustration with Sofia amplifying my fear for Lexi¡¯s disappearance.


    Sofia stared at me, shock and anger flickering across her face. ¡°You love her?¡± she spat, disbelief giving way to jealousy.


    ¡°Yes, I do,¡± I said, my voice breaking. ¡°I fucking love her.¡±


    ¡°And she fucking loves money,¡± Sofia said, picking up her bag and striding toward the door. Her words hit me like a punch to the gut, and my jaw dropped.


    ¡°Wait a minute, what are you talking about?¡± I stammered, finding my voice after a moment of shock.


    ¡°I said, she fucking loves money,¡± she repeated, her tone dripping with venom.


    I sprang from my seat and blocked her path in seconds, my eyes locked on hers with a fury I could barely contain. ¡°What have you done to her?¡± I demanded, my voice a low growl, fists clenching at my sides.


    ¡°Get out of my way, Jason!¡± Sofia snapped, trying to push past me.


    ¡°Not until you tell me what you mean by that,¡± I insisted, my anger bubbling over. ¡°What do you know about Lexi?¡±


    ¡°Just what I said,¡± Sofia sneered, ring at me. ¡°She loves money. She¡¯d do anything for it. Maybe that¡¯s why she left you high and dry.¡±


    My mind raced, trying to piece together what she was insinuating. ¡°You¡¯re lying,¡± I said, though doubt crept into my voice. ¡°Lexi isn¡¯t like that.¡±


    ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t she?¡± Sofia shot back, her eyes narrowing. ¡°Why don¡¯t you check your precious Lexi¡¯s bank ount or ask around? She¡¯s not the saint you think she is.¡±


    ¡°Why should I believe anything you say?¡± I snapped, my voice rising. ¡°You¡¯d say anything to mess with me. What did you do to her?¡±


    I lunged at Sofia, grabbing her by the neck and roughly shoving her against the wall. Her eyes widened in shock and fear as I tightened my grip.


    ¡°What have you done to her?¡± I growled, my voice low and dangerous.


    ¡°You¡¯re choking me,¡± she gasped, her face contorting in panic.


    ¡°What have you done to her?¡± I demanded again, my grip tightening as rage surged through me.


    ¡°It¡¯s not like you¡¯re going to kill me,¡± she spat, defiance flickering in her eyes.


    I pressed harder, leaning in close. ¡°I will kill you and your entire family if you¡¯ve touched a single hair on her head. So, I¡¯m asking you for thest time, where is Lexi?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know where she is!¡± she choked out, her voice barely more than a whisper.


    I squeezed her neck harder, feeling the pulse quicken under my fingers. ¡°Where is Lexi, for thest time?¡± I roared.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know where she is,¡± she gasped, her eyes wide with terror. ¡°But I know your dad paid her off.¡±


    ¡°My dad?¡± The words hit me like a thunderbolt, and I froze, shock and confusion momentarily overpowering my rage.


    Sofia nodded, her breathing in ragged gasps as she clutched at my hand.


    I released her, my mind reeling. My father? What the hell did he have to do with this? I stumbled back, staring at Sofia as she sagged against the wall, rubbing her neck and gasping for air.


    Without another word, I turned and stormed out of the office, my thoughts a chaotic whirlwind. My father had paid Lexi off? Why?


    I needed answers, and I was going to get them-starting with my father.

    JASON STOKES


    I pulled up to my parents¡¯ house in a fury, the revtion about my dad¡¯s involvement in Lexi¡¯s disappearance driving me to the brink of madness. My tires screeched to a halt, and I stormed up the walkway, the anger boiling inside me like a storm.


    ¡°Sweetie!¡± my mom eximed, her face lighting up as she saw me, but I barely registered her presence. My focus was on Dad¡¯s office, where I knew he¡¯d be.


    ¡°Jason, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Mom¡¯s voice followed me, tinged with concern.


    ¡°Mom, stay out of this!¡± I barked, not even slowing down as I made a beeline for the office.


    I burst through the door, my fury barely contained. ¡°Jason,¡± Dad greeted me, looking up from his desk with a calm smile. ¡°It¡¯s nice to finally see you in person.¡±


    ¡°Where is Lexi?¡± I demanded, my voice as controlled as I could manage, though every fiber of my being wanted to shout.


    ¡°What are you talking about? Who is Lexi?¡± he asked, his face a mask of feigned ignorance.


    I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath to keep myposure. ¡°Dad, we both know who I¡¯m talking about. Stop ying dumb and tell me where she is.¡±


    Dad leaned back in his chair, his calm demeanor unruffled. ¡°That bitch couldn¡¯t even resist a million dors,¡± he said dismissively.


    His words hit me like a physical blow, and I took a step back, struggling toprehend the sheer callousness. ¡°You¡­ you bribed her to leave me?¡± I stammered, my voice breaking.


    ¡°I paid her to get out of your life,¡± Dad said coolly, as if discussing a simple business transaction. ¡°I knew she was only with you for the money. I thought I¡¯d save you the trouble and heartache of finding outter.¡±


    ¡°Do you even hear yourself?¡± I shouted, my anger surging back, fists clenching at my sides. ¡°You had no right! I love her, Dad. She wasn¡¯t with me for the money. I love her, and you just¡­ you just bought her off like she was nothing!¡±


    ¡°I did what I thought was best for you,¡± he replied, his tone infuriatingly calm.


    ¡°You think you know what¡¯s best for me?¡± I yelled, my voice cracking. ¡°You don¡¯t know anything! You just destroyed the best thing in my life, and you don¡¯t even care!¡±


    ¡°Stop spending your precious time on some money-hungry bitch,¡± my father sneered, emphasizing the word ¡®bitch¡¯ with disdain.


    ¡°You¡¯re going to see the other side of me if you repeat that statement,¡± I ground out through gritted teeth, my fists clenched in frustration.


    ¡°Jason, watch your mouth,¡± my mom interjected, her tone pleading for calm.


    ¡°Mom, stay out of this. Where is she?¡± I demanded again, ignoring her plea.


    ¡°How am I supposed to know where the bitch headed to? She didn¡¯t even think twice before taking the check from me,¡± Dad retorted callously.


    ¡°Lexi would never leave me for your money!¡± I shot back angrily, my voice rising with each word.


    ¡°But she did. Is that the person you want to spend the rest of your life with? A gold digger!¡± Dad¡¯s voice wasced with usation.


    ¡°Lexi wouldn¡¯t leave me for your money!¡± I insisted, though deep down, I knew she already had. ¡°She wouldn¡¯t!¡±


    ¡°But she did. That shows us who she really is,¡± Dad countered, his expression unyielding. ¡°Sit down and let¡¯s continue what we were discussing thest time you were here.¡±


    ¡°The only thing I¡¯m discussing with you is Lexi¡¯s whereabouts,¡± I dered firmly, refusing to be swayed from my focus.


    ¡°Jason, listen to your father, it¡¯s for your own good,¡± Mom urged, her voice filled with concern.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing good we¡¯re discussing, Mom, because he already took away the only good thing for me,¡± I retorted bitterly.


    ¡°That girl failed the test,¡± Mom tried to exin.


    ¡°He shouldn¡¯t have tested her to start with!¡± I snapped back in frustration.


    ¡°But he did, and she failed,¡± Mom persisted, her voice wavering.


    ¡°Mom, stop!¡± I interrupted sharply, unable to bear any more justification from them.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t good enough for you,¡± Dad interjected calmly, his words cutting through the tension.


    ¡°So, Sofia is the one who¡¯s good enough for me, huh? I¡¯d rather remain single than marry that fucking bitch,¡± I spat out angrily, the bitterness in my voice palpable.


    I turned and stormed out of his office, every step fuelled by a mix of anger and hurt. ¡°It¡¯s either you find that girl for me or you lose me too,¡± I threw over my shoulder, my voice echoing in the hallway.


    Mom hurried after me, calling my name desperately. ¡°Jason, listen to your father,¡± she pleaded, her voice cracking with emotion.


    ¡°It¡¯s better you both find me that girl or you lose me too,¡± I warned, my tone resolute as I headed for my car.


    ¡°Jason!¡± Mom called again as I reached the car door.


    ¡°This might be thest time you¡¯ll see me,¡± I said, closing the door firmly and driving away, leaving behind a whirlwind of emotions and unresolved conflicts.


    As I sped down the familiar streets, tears welled up in my eyes. The betrayal and pain were overwhelming, but amidst it all, a determination grew stronger. I needed to find Lexi.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-


    I went straight to my house, grabbed a bottle of beer, and sat down, surrounded by memories of Lexi. As I sifted through everything we had done together, an idea struck me. Without hesitation, I picked up my phone and dialed the only person I knew could help in such a situation-Carl Parker, my private investigator.


    ¡°Hello, Mr. Stokes,¡± Carl greeted me professionally.


    ¡°Carl! Listen, I need your help,¡± I began, pouring out the details of Lexi¡¯s sudden disappearance and my suspicions about my father¡¯s involvement.


    ¡°Consider it done, sir,¡± Carl replied confidently, his voice reassuring.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be waiting for your call,¡± I said, feeling a glimmer of hope for the first time since Lexi had vanished.


    ¡°Bye,¡± Carl said.


    I hung up the call and as I was about to put down my phone it buzzed again. I thought the call would be from Lexi herself. Instead, it was an unknown number, and when I answered, it turned out to be Cynthia, Lexi¡¯s friend.


    ¡°Hello, Mr. Stokes, this is Cynthia,¡± she introduced herself.


    ¡°Hello,¡± I replied, my disappointment palpable.


    ¡°I heard what happened and I¡¯ve been trying my best to track her down,¡± Cynthia continued.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I murmured, my mind swirling with conflicting emotions.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know why she would have done such a thing because we talked this morning and she sounded fine on the phone,¡± Cynthia added, her voice tinged with confusion.


    I sighed heavily, the bitter truth settling in once more. Money. It always came back to money. If only Lexi had given me a chance to understand, to help her-if only she had trusted me enough to stay.


    ¡°I also don¡¯t know why she did it,¡± I lied, not wanting to reveal my suspicions about my father¡¯s involvement. ¡°But I¡¯m looking into it. Thank you,¡± I managed to say before ending the call.


    I sat back heavily, taking a long pull from my beer. The silence of the room echoed with unanswered questions and unresolved pain. Lexi¡¯s absence weighed on me like a lead weight, each moment without her stretching into an eternity.


    But I couldn¡¯t dwell on what-ifs. I needed answers, and until Carl called with any developments, all I could do was wait and try to make sense of the turmoil that had be my life.


    I went to bed that night in a drunken haze, but sleep eluded me. I could still sense Lexi¡¯s presence-her scent, her voice, the memories of our time together. She had promised me ¡°a day and a night,¡± but now it had been two days and two nights with no sign of her return.


    Unable to bear the emptiness of her absence, I shifted to her side of the bed, burying my face in her pillow and inhaling deeply, hoping to capture even a fleeting reminder of her. The scent brought a flood of emotions, and soon everything faded into darkness as I sumbed to the alcohol-induced haze.


    ¡ª


    ¡°Mr. Stokes! Mr. Stokes! Mr. Stokes!¡± Someone was shaking me awake roughly. ¡°Mr. Stokes! Can you hear me?¡±


    I groggily responded, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°The meeting is in thirty minutes,¡± Jada informed me urgently.


    I struggled to open my eyes, greeted by a heavy headache and blurry vision. ¡°Jada, is that you?¡± I asked, trying to focus.


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Stokes, it¡¯s me. The meeting with the Kong Enterprise CEO starts in less than forty-five minutes,¡± Jada replied, her voice brisk and professional.


    I sluggishly began to pull myself out of bed. ¡°And Lexi?¡± I questioned, the memories of the previous day flooding back.


    ¡°We¡¯re still looking for her,¡± Jada replied solemnly.


    The events of yesterday rushed back into focus, jolting me fully awake. Lexi was still missing, and despite my hungover state, I knew I had to face the day ahead, uncertain of what awaited me in both the meeting and the search for Lexi.


    ¡°So, Lexi isn¡¯t back yet?¡± I asked as I hurried towards the restroom.


    ¡°No,¡± Jada replied sharply. ¡°Mr. Stokes, we don¡¯t have much time left on our side.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the time now?¡± I inquired, trying to gauge how much time I had.


    She checked her watch before responding. ¡°It¡¯s 11:23.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be quick,¡± I assured her.


    ¡°There¡¯s no time to waste, just brush your teeth and let¡¯s go,¡± Jada urged urgently.


    ¡°But Lexi won¡¯t be waiting for me there,¡± I muttered to myself, momentarily lost in thoughts of her.


    ¡°We¡¯ll find her, I promise. You have five minutes,¡± Jada insisted firmly.


    I hurriedly brushed my teeth in one minute, took another two for a quick shower, and used the remaining two minutes to dress.


    ¡°Time¡¯s up!¡± Jada called out from the bedroom.


    ¡°I¡¯ming out now,¡± I replied, rushing out to join her, my mind racing with thoughts of Lexi and the uncertainties ahead.


    I headed towards my car in the garage, but Jada¡¯s voice halted me in my tracks.


    ¡°You¡¯re not driving. We¡¯re taking mine. You¡¯re not in a condition to drive,¡± she asserted firmly.


    ¡°Okay, okay,¡± I conceded, realizing she was right.


    ¡°We need to be in the office in twenty minutes,¡± she reminded me briskly.


    ¡°Okay,¡± I acknowledged, following her lead as we got into her car.


    ¡ª


    Throughout the meeting, my mind remained distracted. Thoughts of Lexi consumed me, making it difficult to concentrate on the discussions. Thankfully, the meeting concluded, freeing me to refocus on finding Lexi.


    I immediately called Carl, eager for any update.


    ¡°Carl,¡± I greeted urgently.


    ¡°Mr. Stokes,¡± he responded.


    ¡°So, where is she?¡± I demanded, trying to mask my growing anxiety.


    ¡°I¡¯m still searching,¡± Carl replied calmly.


    ¡°She¡¯s not a needle!¡± I snapped in frustration.


    ¡°I know, but she seems to have vanished,¡± he exined with a hint of frustration in his voice.


    ¡°Find her!¡± I insisted firmly.


    ¡°I will,¡± Carl assured me before we ended the call.


    I dialed Jada¡¯s office line next, needing my car back.


    ¡°Mr. Stokes,¡± Jada answered promptly.


    ¡°Get me my car,¡± I instructed tersely.


    ¡°Okay, sir,¡± Jada replied, her efficiency clear even over the phone.

    Jason Stokes


    **Two Months Later**


    ¡°Mr. Stokes! Mr. Stokes!¡± Jada called, tapping me awake from the couch.


    ¡°Huh?¡± I mumbled, disoriented.


    ¡°Good morning. The meeting will be starting in an hour and a half,¡± Jada reminded me, her tone insistent.


    ¡°And?¡± I muttered, struggling to focus.


    ¡°And you have to be in the office earlier to sign some crucial documents rted to the meeting,¡± she added, her eyes ncing around the room littered with empty beer bottles.


    I sluggishly got out of bed, identally kicking a half-empty beer bottle that rolled across the floor. It had be part of my daily routine.


    ¡°Again?¡± Jada snapped, frustration evident in her voice.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I mumbled, making my way to the restroom to freshen up.


    As we headed to the garage, I staggered towards Lexi¡¯s car, a pang of longing hitting me hard. ¡°I would have given you the world if that was what you wanted,¡± I thought bitterly before turning back to my own car.


    ¡°Are you sure you can drive?¡± Jada asked, her concern cutting through my haze.


    ¡°I got this,¡± I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt.


    The past two months had been a blur of despair and routine, each day blending into the next. Despite Carl¡¯s continued efforts, Lexi remained missing, leaving a void that no amount of work or alcohol could fill. I was barely holding on, but the thought of Lexi, somewhere out there, kept me going, even if just barely.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    As soon as the meeting ended, I headed straight to my office, locking the door behind me. It had be a disturbing routine-a desperate attempt to feel close to Lexi. I pulled down my trousers, imagining her touch as I began to stroke myself.


    I closed my eyes, trying to relive our moments together. I could almost hear her moans, feel her reactions as l entered her, the way she whispered my name when she was about toe, and how she mouthed that she loved me.


    ¡°Aaaahhhhhh,¡± I growled, my body tensing as the pleasure surged through me.


    I grabbed a handkerchief to clean myself up, feeling a pang of guilt and sadness once the act was over. Just as I finished cleaning, a knock on the door jolted me back to reality.


    I opened the door, expecting Jada, but found my father standing there instead.


    ¡°Jason, we need to talk¡± he said, walking in and taking a seat across from mine.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to talk about unless you bring her back¡¯ I replied sluggishly, barely able to muster the energy to be angry.


    ¡°Jason, thepany is suffering,¡± Dad said, his tone a mix of frustration and concern.


    ¡°You should be thankful l¡¯m even trying to show up at all. Do you have any idea how much money I¡¯m spending to find her? I don¡¯t know where she is, if she¡¯s still alive, or what you¡¯ve done to her. And you expect me to be happy?¡± I retorted, my voice breaking with the weight of my frustration and despair.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you I¡¯m sorry¡± he said, trying to cate me.


    ¡°You¡¯re not sorry. The only reason you¡¯re apologizing is because your business is suffering¡± I shot back, the bitterness in my voice unmistakable.


    ¡°I¡¯m genuinely sorry, Jason. I wouldn¡¯t have done it if I knew she meant this much to you,¡± he said, his tone softening as he looked at me with a mixture of regret and helplessness.


    His words did little to soothe my anger. ¡°It¡¯s toote for apologies, Dad. Unless you can bring Lexi back, there¡¯s nothing you can say to fix this.¡±


    ¡°You knew damn well she means everything to me,¡± I snapped. ¡°I told you on Mom¡¯s birthday, warned you to stay away from her. There¡¯s nothing to discuss until I find her, if she¡¯s even still alive.¡± I locked eyes with him, my gaze burning with usation.


    ¡°What are you insinuating? That I killed her?¡± His voice rose defensively.


    ¡°I¡¯m not insinuating anything,¡± I said coldly. ¡°I¡¯m just speaking my mind.¡±


    ¡°Jason, no jokes-thispany is suffering. We¡¯ve lost millions,¡± he implored, his tone bordering on desperation.


    ¡°Tell me that when you bring her back,¡± I retorted, cutting him off as I walked out, leaving him with his guilt and my unspoken fury.


    I got to my car and immediately called John.


    ¡°Hello,¡± he answered.


    ¡°Hello. What¡¯s up? Where are you?¡± I asked, trying to push my father¡¯s words out of my mind.


    ¡°I¡¯m just about to close for the day. You?¡± he replied.


    ¡°Same here. Are youing to the club tonight?¡± I asked, needing the distraction more than ever.


    ¡°Now you¡¯re talking. You¡¯reing back to your senses!¡± Johnughed, his voice full of cheer.


    ¡°Are youing or not?¡± I pressed, not in the mood for his teasing.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be there,¡± he confirmed.


    ¡°Great. See you then,¡± I said, hanging up and feeling a slight relief at the thought of escaping, even just for a night.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    I entered the club, spotting John at our usual spot and ordering a ss of wine as I sat down.


    ¡°You¡¯re finallying back to yourself,¡± John said, a hopeful note in his voice.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so,¡± I replied, taking a sip of my wine. ¡°I still miss her every day, every single second.¡±


    ¡°Do you think she misses you too?¡± John asked, concern recing his usual joviality.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± I said, my voice breaking. ¡°She left me for a million dors!¡± I gulped down the rest of my wine and ordered another. ¡°A million dors I would have given her without blinking.¡± Tears started to well up, and I couldn¡¯t hold them back anymore.


    ¡°Jason,¡± John called softly, ncing around, ¡°people are staring at us.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t give a damn about them,¡± I said, the tears now flowing freely. ¡°I would have doubled it for her, tripled it. I would have given her anything and everything.¡±


    ¡°Maybe what you need is¡­ a distraction, you know?¡± John suggested, trying to be delicate.


    ¡°I know exactly what I need,¡± I said, my voice barely above a whisper. ¡°I need her. Her presence, her touch. She makes me powerless.¡±


    I gulped down my wine and ordered another ss, my hands trembling slightly.


    ¡°Drink responsibly,¡± John urged, his tone gentle.


    ¡°I¡¯m trying,¡± I said, staring into my ss, the weight of my loss pressing down harder than ever.


    After my sixth round, John stopped the bartender and set me up with one of the girls.


    ¡°I¡¯m not in the mood,¡± I whispered to him drunkenly, feeling the weight of my grief pulling me down.


    ¡°Give her a chance,¡± John insisted, smiling and signaling to the girl.


    She led me to a room, undressing me down to my boxers before shedding her own clothes. Though my body responded, my mind was elsewhere, fixated on Lexi.


    She straddled me, but the usual pleasure I found in physical connection was absent. I closed my eyes, trying to summon some semnce of desire, but Lexi¡¯s image kept intruding.


    After five minutes of going through the motions, I excused myself and staggered to the restroom. Turning on the tap, I started stroking myself, thinking only of Lexi. Her face, her touch, her voice filled my mind.


    The climax came quickly, more out of desperation than pleasure. I cleaned up, showered, and staggered back to the room. Dressing silently, I left the girl behind without a word, the hollowness inside me more profound than ever.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    **One Week Later**


    It was Sunday evening, and I had been drinking since morning. The haze of alcohol dulled my senses, and when someone knocked on the door, I staggered over, not bothering to check who it was before unlocking it.


    It was Dixie.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± I slurred, heading back to my seat.


    ¡°I¡¯m here to take care of you,¡± she said, closing the door behind her.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to. I didn¡¯t ask you to,¡± I muttered, sinking back into the chair.


    ¡°But I want to,¡± she insisted, her voice softening as she approached me.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need your help,¡± I replied, my words heavy with drunken defiance.


    ¡°Jason,¡± she called, dropping her bag and moving closer. ¡°I¡¯m here to take care of you,¡± she repeated, her hands caressing my shoulders. ¡°You deserve more than this.¡± She gently pushed the beer out of my hand, her touch firm yet tender.


    I looked at her, eyes bleary, and sighed. ¡°What¡¯s the point, Dixie?¡±


    ¡°The point is that you can¡¯t keep doing this to yourself,¡± she said, brushing a strand of hair from my face. ¡°Let me help you, please.¡±


    ¡°Give that back! I don¡¯t joke with that,¡± I growled, reaching for the beer Dixie had taken from me.


    ¡°You weren¡¯t a drunkard when I knew you or thest time I saw you,¡± she said, holding the bottle out of my reach.


    ¡°And now I am. Give that back!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not,¡± she said firmly and then, to my surprise, leaned in and kissed me. Her lips were warm and insistent, and against my better judgment, I found myself responding.


    ¡°Oh, I¡¯ve missed this,¡± she murmured into my mouth, kissing me harder.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    The taste of her, the familiarity of her touch, it all came rushing back. I deepened the kiss, pushing my tongue into her mouth as I guided her down to the floor.


    ¡°I¡¯ve missed it too,¡± I said breathlessly.


    ¡°You can have it now,¡± she whispered, her hands tugging at my shirt, her body arching toward mine.


    I drunkenly stripped off my clothes, and Dixie did the same. I pulled her closer, stroking myself briefly before positioning at her entrance.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve missed this,¡± I said, licking my lips.


    ¡°Absolutely, yes. Give it to me. I want all of it,¡± she whispered, eyes gleaming.


    I pulled back slightly, ready to push in, when my phone rang. I froze.


    ¡°You can take thatter,¡± Dixie urged, her hands on my chest.


    ¡°No, let me take it now,¡± I insisted, stumbling to grab my phone. I checked the caller ID-it was Carl.


    ¡°Carl,¡± I said, stepping away from Dixie.


    ¡°Mr. Stokes, I¡¯ve found her,¡± Carl said, his voice tense.


    ¡°You found her?¡± I asked, hardly believing it.


    ¡°Yes, I found her but¡­¡±


    ¡°But what? I demanded, my heart pounding.

 Chapter 29

    JASON STOKES


    I still couldn¡¯t believe what Carl had told me over the phone as I sped towards the address he had texted me.


    ¡°Lexi was pregnant,¡± I thought to myself bitterly, ¡°living a romantic life while I was living a tonic one.¡±


    I parked my car at the junction and began to trek towards the address Carl had provided. It struck me as odd that Lexi would leave me for someone living in a slum. The thoughts churned in my mind as I walked, each step feeling heavier than thest.


    After fifteen long minutes of walking, I finally reached the address. I checked my watch-it was 11:16 PM. I stood before the door, taking several deep breaths to steady myself, unsure of what I would find on the other side.


    After knocking on the door, I stood there in anxious anticipation, each passing moment feeling like an eternity. The seconds stretched into minutes before I finally heard footsteps approaching from inside.


    ¡°Hi,¡± a young guy said as he swung the door open. My eyes met his, and in that instant, a surge of conflicting emotions washed over me. This was the man Lexi had chosen over me-someone who, in my estimation, fell short in every waypared to myself.


    ¡°Hey, good evening. I¡¯m looking for a friend, Lexi¡­ Lexi Tyler,¡± I managed to say, trying to keep my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me.


    The guy seemed indifferent as he replied, ¡°And you are?¡±


    ¡°Just tell her it¡¯s a friend,¡± I responded tersely, my jaw clenched.


    He nodded and closed the door briefly, calling out, ¡°Lexi!¡±


    Her voice, unmistakable and hauntingly familiar, echoed from inside. ¡°Yes?¡±


    ¡°Someone is looking for you,¡± he informed her.


    ¡°Who?¡± Lexi¡¯s curiosity was evident in her tone.


    ¡°He said a friend,¡± he answered, sounding disinterested.


    ¡°He?¡± Lexi repeated, a note of confusioncing her voice.


    ¡°Yes, he. He¡¯s waiting,¡± he confirmed.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ming,¡± Lexi replied, her response sending a wave of nervous anticipation through me.


    I adjusted myself, trying to maintain a neutral expression as I heard her ask the guy, ¡°Where is he?¡± before opening the door. Every heartbeat felt amplified, and my mind raced with thoughts and emotions as I waited for her to appear.     **LEXI TYLER POV**


    I was so shocked when I opened the door and saw Jason standing there. It took me a moment to gather myself.


    ¡°Long time, no see,¡± he said, his tone devoid of any warmth.


    ¡°Jason,¡± I uttered in disbelief. ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°To see for myself if it¡¯s real,¡± he replied tersely.


    ¡°Ben, lock the door! I need to talk to someone,¡± I called out to the guy inside, needing a moment to collect my thoughts.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Ben replied obediently.


    ¡°Your husband?¡± Jason asked as I led him to a bench on the other side of the house.


    ¡°Sorry?¡± I responded, caught off guard by his question.


    ¡°Is he your husband?¡± Jason rified.


    ¡°No,¡± I answered inly.


    ¡°Boyfriend?¡± he continued, probing further.


    ¡°No,¡± I repeated, my mind racing with uncertainty about where this conversation would lead.


    ¡°The father of your baby?¡± Jason asked, his voice strained.


    ¡°No, roommate,¡± I replied tersely. ¡°Can you manage this?¡± I added, gesturing towards the bench.


    ¡°Yes,¡± he replied shortly.


    We both sat down, an ufortable silence hanging between us. I struggled to find the right words to break it.


    ¡°You promised not to leave me,¡± Jason finally said, his voice tinged with hurt.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± I replied quietly, feeling the weight of his usation.


    ¡°Stop ying games with me, Lexi. I¡¯m not here for that. I¡¯m here for answers. You said you would never leave me, but you left without turning back for just a million dors,¡± he said, his cold gray eyes fixed on me in the dim light.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± I insisted, my own emotions starting to surface.


    ¡°Okay, then, you left because you are in love with another man, a man who can¡¯t even afford a good environment,¡± Jason used bitterly.


    ¡°That¡¯s none of your business,¡± I shot back defensively.


    ¡°Of course, it isn¡¯t my business,¡± he retorted sarcastically.


    ¡°I¡¯m done here if that¡¯s why you¡¯re here,¡± I said, frustration seeping into my voice as I turned to leave.


    ¡°Lexi!¡± he called out, his tone pleading, reminiscent of how he used to call me lovingly. ¡°Are you really going to leave me here? I drove six hours just to be with you. Was your love for me a lie?¡±


    ¡°My love for you was never a lie,¡± I replied firmly, pausing in my steps to face him.


    ¡°Then tell me what I did wrong. Why would you leave me for another man if not for the money?¡± Jason pressed, his voice tinged with desperation.


    ¡°I never left you. Not for a man, nor for the money. I was just trying to protect myself,¡± I exined, my emotions raw as I tried to make him understand.


    ¡°From who? Me?¡± Jason asked, his confusion etched deeply across his face.


    ¡°From people who were threatening me,¡± she replied, her voice tinged with fear. ¡°Some want me dead because of our rtionship. Even your dad threatened me. Our child means everything to me. I¡¯ll do whatever it takes to keep him safe from harm.¡±


    ¡°You should have told me. Who am I if not your protector?¡± Jason¡¯s voice cracked with emotion, his heart sinking.


    ¡°I was scared then, and I¡¯m still scared now,¡± I admitted, her words trembling slightly. ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you, but someone pulled a knife on me at the club. I kept getting calls from strange numbers. It was terrifying. I had to protect our baby. He was only a month old, and he needed to be safe from those people.¡±


    ¡°Our¡­ baby?¡± Jason stuttered, struggling toprehend. ¡°Did¡­ did you just say¡­ our baby? But¡­ you said you were on birth control.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how it happened. I was on birth control,¡± she said softly, tears welling in her eyes.


    ¡°Are you saying¡­ this pregnancy is mine?¡± Jason asked, his disbelief turning into a whirlwind of emotions as he stood up from the bench.


    ¡°Yeah. He¡¯s your son, and you¡¯re his father. I nned to tell you after he was born, but finding you here, I knew you deserved to know. I¡¯m sorry if I hurt your feelings. I was just trying to protect our son.¡±


    He approached me, taking both of my hands and gently tilting his head to maintain eye contact. ¡°I was angry with you, and I still am, but seeing you with our baby means everything to me.¡±


    Then he kneeled down, resting his ear against my stomach. ¡°Hey, cutie, how are you doing in there? Daddy is saying hello¡­ I know I showed upte, but Mom is to me for that. I think she deserves to be punished. Okay.¡± He rose back up and turned to me. ¡°I thought I¡¯d never see you again.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I whispered.


    He pulled me close, resting his head against mine and inhaling deeply, breathing in the scent of my hair.


    ¡°I¡¯ve missed it,¡± Jason finally said, his voiceden with longing and vulnerability. He gently lifted my chin, his touch tender, before leaning in to kiss me softly. His hands moved slowly, tracing the contours of my body with a mix of familiarity and desire.


    ¡°Oh! Sorry!¡± Ben¡¯s voice broke the moment, filled with shock as Jason and I quickly pulled apart. ¡°I just wanted to¡­ make sure that you¡¯re okay,¡± he stammered, his face flushed with embarrassment.


    ¡°Oh, Ben,¡± I managed to say, attempting to


    regain myposure. ¡°This is Jason, the guy I¡¯ve told you about.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Ben¡¯s surprise was evident, his eyes widening slightly.


    ¡°Yeah,¡¯ I confirmed with a slight nod.


    ¡°Nice meeting you, Ben said, extending his hand for a handshake and attempting to diffuse the tension with a polite gesture.


    ¡°Nice meeting you too, Jason replied politely, though his eyes remained fixed on mine, a mix of emotions-uncertainty, protectiveness, and perhaps a hint of jealousy.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    ¡°Are you sure the baby is going to be okay?¡± Jason asked again, his concern evident in the furrow of his brow.


    ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t think there will be any problem,¡± I reassured him softly, sensing his worry.


    ¡°You don¡¯t think there will be any problem, or there won¡¯t be a problem?¡± Jason pressed, seeking rity.


    ¡°There won¡¯t be a problem,¡± I affirmed with a nod, hoping to ease his anxiety.


    Later that evening, we decided to stay at a nearby hotel since Jason was too tired to drive back to the city or sleep in the house where I was hiding.


    ¡°I¡¯m scared I¡¯m going to hurt our baby,¡± Jason confessed, his voice tinged with fear and protectiveness.


    ¡°Pregnant women do it,¡± I said gently, trying to lighten the mood with a hint of humor.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Jason replied, though his worry still lingered in his eyes.


    We settled into the hotel room, the soft lighting andfortable bed offering a brief respite from the day¡¯s tensions. Jason, still concerned, moved closer to me.


    ¡°I just want to make sure everything¡¯s okay,¡± he murmured, his touch gentle as he caressed my abdomen.


    I nodded, understanding his need for reassurance. His fingers traced delicate patterns over my skin, a silent promise of support and care. As wey together, the warmth between us grew, and Jason¡¯s touch shifted, bing more intimate.


    He tenderly explored my body, his movements both cautious and loving. His touch ignited a familiar sensation, awakening my senses amidst the gentle throes of pleasure. Minutes passed in the quiet rhythm of our shared moment until he withdrew, his gaze locking with mine.


    ¡°I love you,¡± Jason whispered, his voice a soft deration in the dimly lit room.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡°I love you too,¡± I replied, feeling a surge of affection and gratitude for this man.


    He ced his dickey at the entrance of my starved, creamy pussycat and slowly pushed its head in.


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± I moaned and pushed my pussycat up for more while he rested his weight on his hands before pulling out of me and pushing in again and again and again and again.


    ¡°Lexi,¡± he growled before losing hisst restraint and starting to bang me the way I¡¯ve been yearning for months.


    ¡°Lexi!¡± He growled again. ¡°I¡¯m going toe.¡±


    I raised my pussycat higher and put my hands on his butt to pull him down on me harder while he screamed ¡°Oh my God!¡± between gritted teeth as he trembled and froze with closed eyes.


    A few secondster, he pulled out of me and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry if I didn¡¯tst long.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± I replied, even though I still wanted more.


    He shifted back andid on his stomach between my legs, and before I knew what was happening, his tongue was already inside my pussycat.


    ¡°Hmmmm,¡± he moaned as he used his hands to spread my thighs wider. ¡°I¡¯ve missed it.¡±


    I rubbed my pussycat more into his face and held on to the bedspread as the pleasure was running through me, and before I knew it, I cummed.

 Chapter 30

    The Jason I encounteredst night was so different from the one driving me back to the city. This Jason seemed distant and cold, and despite sitting side by side in the car, an unspoken tension hung between us. I tried to break the silence by turning on the radio, hoping for some semnce of normalcy, but Jason swiftly turned it off without a word, his eyes fixed firmly on the road ahead. Feeling isted, I opted instead to open the window, letting the morning breeze fill the car as I closed my eyes briefly.


    After three hours on the road, hunger gnawed at me, though I hesitated to mention it given Jason¡¯s mood. Eventually, he spoke up.


    ¡°We should grab something to eat before we continue,¡± Jason remarked, his voice clipped with restraint.


    At a nearby restaurant, I wordlessly stepped out of the car, cautious not to say anything that might worsen the atmosphere. I ordered a breakfast burrito, while Jason opted for a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. The short meal break offered a brief reprieve, but as soon as we settled back into the car twenty minutester, the heavy silence returned.


    The tension in the car reached its breaking point, and unable to bear the silence any longer, I finally spoke up. ¡°Stop the car,¡± I said firmly.


    Confusion flickered across Jason¡¯s face. ¡°What?¡± he asked, bewildered.


    ¡°I said stop the car,¡± I repeated, my voice tinged with frustration. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go any further. Just drop me off here.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Jason demanded, his tone defensive.


    ¡°Because I can¡¯t stand this anymore. We¡¯ve been cooped up in this car for hours without saying a word,¡± I exined, my own emotions raw.


    Jason¡¯s response came out in a rush, his anger palpable. ¡°I don¡¯t know what to say. I¡¯m still furious with you, but I don¡¯t know how to handle this because of your situation. Instead of disappearing like you did, you could have just told me. We could have handled it differently. I missed out on two precious months that I should have spent peacefully with my baby, and you expect me not to be angry?¡± His words were sharp,ced with hurt and frustration.


    I sat in stunned silence, absorbing his usations and the weight of his disappointment. The car seemed to shrink around us, the air thick with unresolved tension.


    ¡°I¡¯m not saying you shouldn¡¯t be mad. What I meant was that your silence was killing me. I¡¯d rather have your anger than your silence,¡± I rified, desperation creeping into my voice.


    Jason¡¯s expression hardened as he pulled the car to the side of the road. ¡°Since you want my anger, let me show you the real thing,¡± he said tersely.


    The tension in the car escted as he parked, the air thick with unspoken emotions.


    He put his seat all the way down and pulled down his trousers, revealing his already hard cock.


    ¡°Suck it,¡± hemanded with a very cold voice.


    ¡°But¡­ we¡¯re in the middle of nowhere.¡±


    ¡°Do what you¡¯re told.¡±


    I shifted closer to him before putting my mouth on his head, which became bigger as soon as my tongue came into contact with it. I licked it for some time before sucking it all the way down to the base.


    He raised his hip up the second I did this and smacked his cock into my throat before pulling me harder on it with his hand. I was gagging and choking, but he wouldn¡¯t release me until I started hitting him in the thigh, and when he did, it was just for a few seconds, and before I knew what was happening again, he was already ramming back inside my throat.


    ¡°This is for all the sex I¡¯ve missed for months,¡± he growled at one point.


    I held onto his thigh as hard as I could as he was raising up my head with his hands that were at the back of it and was forcefully pulling it back down on his hard dick.


    ¡°Take a break and suck my balls,¡± he said at one point, which I obeyed instantly before he changed his mind.


    I put my left hand on his cock to stroke it slowly while I started sucking his balls, taking care of them one at a time and swallowing them all at other times.


    ¡°Now, my cock,¡± hemanded. ¡°And no hands.¡±


    I stopped sucking his balls and went back to his cock with my hands back on his thigh and obediently received his punishment until he grunted, froze, and pulled me down harder on his cock till I felt his warm, tasty sperm inside my mouth.


    He inhaled heavily and said, ¡°Swallow it all. Sssshhhhhhaaaaaah!¡±


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    ¡°That¡¯s your car,¡± Jason said softly, pointing to a sleek 2016 Volvo V60 in his garage when we arrived. ¡°It¡¯s been here for months, since the day you left. I wanted to surprise you with it, but you were gone.¡± His voice trailed off, pained.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I murmured, guilt washing over me.


    ¡°You should have thought about it before leaving,¡± he replied quietly, his expression heavy with hurt.


    ¡°Thank you for the car,¡± I said, trying to convey my gratitude amidst the awkwardness.


    ¡°You¡¯re wee. The key is inside,¡± Jason informed me, his tone neutral.


    ¡°Okay,¡± I replied softly, feeling the weight of his disappointment.


    We stepped out of the car and rode the elevator up to his apartment in silence, each lost in our own thoughts.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± I asked, taking in the chaotic scene as Jason opened the living room door.


    ¡°That¡¯s who I became when you left,¡± Jason replied solemnly, gesturing at the disarray and scattered bottles of alcohol around the room.


    Feeling a surge of empathy, I moved closer and hugged him tightly, feeling his arms wrap around me in return.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I whispered sincerely.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯m d you¡¯re back, but promise me you won¡¯t leave again. Not for anything,¡± Jason pleaded earnestly. ¡°If you need money, just tell me. If you need protection, I¡¯m here for you. Please don¡¯t leave me again.¡±


    Tears welled up in my eyes as I nodded, silently promising to never again cause him the pain I had inflicted by leaving.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I repeated softly, withdrawing my hands and making my way to the bedroom, which mirrored the disarray of the living room.


    ¡°When do you think your driver will arrive with my bags?¡± I called out to Jason from the bedroom.


    ¡°I don¡¯t even know why you need those bags, but they should be here by this evening,¡± he responded curtly.


    ¡°Okay, thank you,¡± I replied, feeling a mixture of guilt and difort.


    ¡°I need to make some calls, but if you need anything, call me. I¡¯ll be in my office,¡± Jason said before leaving.


    ¡°Okay,¡± I murmured, sinking onto the bed. The weight of the situation settled heavily on me as Iy there, trying to process the emotions and the fractured state of our reunion.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    ¡°You awake?¡± Jason¡¯s blurry figure asked as I slowly regained consciousness.


    ¡°Yeah. What time is it?¡± I inquired groggily.


    ¡°It¡¯s twelve minutes to seven,¡± he replied.


    ¡°Oh my God,¡± I muttered, suddenly alert. I hurried out of bed and headed to the restroom, my dder urgently needing relief. I took the opportunity to indulge in an exceptionally long shower.


    ¡°Your bags arrived while you were sleeping,¡± Jason informed me from the bedroom.


    ¡°Really? Okay, thanks,¡± I called back, my mind already nning my next steps.


    After showering, I headed to the closet to change clothes and was surprised to find everything exactly as I had left it months ago. It was a testament to Jason¡¯s respect for me, despite my absence.


    ¡°You look good,¡± Jasonplimented when I returned to the bedroom.


    ¡°Thanks,¡± I replied with a smile. ¡°So, where did you say the bags are?¡±


    ¡°I left your bags in the first visitor¡¯s room,¡± Jason had mentioned.


    ¡°Okay,¡± I responded quietly, leaving him to his work on theputer and heading straight to retrieve my belongings.


    Upon reaching the visitor¡¯s room, I located the blue bag that held both Jason¡¯s father¡¯s checks and my pregnancy scan. Carefully, I extracted them and returned to our room.


    ¡°Here,¡± I said, cing the papers in front of him.


    ¡°What are these?¡± Jason asked, looking up from his phone to inspect the documents.


    ¡°Take a look,¡± I urged gently.


    Setting his phone aside, he picked up the papers. The first was his father¡¯s $1, 000, 000 check, followed by the $100, 000 one, and I could see disbelief sh across his face.


    ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t leave you for your dad¡¯s money,¡± I reassured him.


    ¡°I thought you did,¡± Jason whispered, his voiceden with emotion.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t. It was for my safety,¡± I exined softly.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Jason responded sincerely.


    ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± I replied, relieved that he finally understood my reasons for leaving.


    ¡°And this is our baby?¡± Jason asked, his eyes fixed on the third paper.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I confirmed softly.


    His mouth found mine within seconds, and his kiss was passionate and filled with emotion. ¡°Thank you,¡± he murmured against my lips. ¡°I can¡¯t express how happy I am today.¡±


    I smiled, overwhelmed by his joy and the weight of our reunion.


    He pinned me down on the bed,id between my legs, put his hand inside my top, slowly moved it to my breast, and cupped it with a force I¡¯d never felt before.

 Chapter 31

    Jason dropped me off at my sister¡¯s house as early as five on Tuesday morning, and I could already sense her pain before I even entered the house. I knocked on the door for almost five minutes before I finally heard her footsteps. When she opened the door, her eyes were red from sleep, or maybe from crying.


    She stared at me for a moment, rubbing her face twice before quietly saying my name, ¡°Lexi.¡±


    Her voice cracked, and she seemed to age ten years in that instant. ¡°Lexi, is that you?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± I replied softly.


    ¡°My Lexi? Are you my Lexi?¡±


    ¡°Yes, sis. It¡¯s me.¡±


    ¡°My Lexi,¡± she cried, pulling me into a tight hug. ¡°My Lexi,¡± she sobbed louder.


    ¡°Sis,¡± I whispered.


    ¡°Why, Lexi? Why?¡± she said between tears.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I said, my voice choked with emotion.


    ¡°You left without even thinking of me,¡± she sobbed.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I repeated.


    She released me from her hug and started looking me over, as if checking for anything amiss.


    ¡°The real you?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Yes, the real me.¡±


    ¡°But you¡¯re fatter,¡± she observed, her eyes widening with surprise.


    ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re going to be an aunt soon,¡± I said, bracing for her reaction.


    ¡°You¡¯re pregnant?¡± she asked, her face lighting up with joy.


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m pregnant, and you¡¯re going to be an aunt soon.¡±


    ¡°Congrattions!¡± she eximed, hugging me again. ¡°And who is the father?¡±


    ¡°Jason,¡± I said.


    She gave me a skeptical look, and I responded with a reassuring nod.


    ¡°It¡¯s true,¡± I insisted.


    Her expression softened, and she pulled me into another hug, this time filled with relief and happiness.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    Jason came for me around two that afternoon, and I could see how reluctant Judith was to let me go. Her eyes were filled with worry as she held onto me for just a moment longer.


    ¡°We¡¯re going to the hospital,¡± Jason said as he started the car.


    ¡°Hospital? For what?¡± I asked, feeling a pang of exhaustion.


    ¡°For your antenatal registration,¡± he replied firmly.


    ¡°But we can do that tomorrow,¡± I protested, hoping for some rest.


    ¡°We¡¯re doing it today,¡± Jason insisted, his voice leaving no room for negotiation.


    ¡°I¡¯m pretty tired; we can just do it tomorrow,¡± I tried again, my voice softer.


    ¡°I¡¯m not taking any risks,¡± he said, his tone resolute.


    ¡°It¡¯s not as if I will be giving birth tomorrow,¡± I pointed out, trying to make him see reason.


    ¡°We¡¯re doing it today. I want to be sure if it¡¯s really safe to worship in your temple,¡± he said with a half-smile, attempting to lighten the mood.


    ¡°It¡¯s not as if you would stop even if the doctor says it¡¯s risky,¡± I countered, my frustration mingling with affection.


    ¡°I will do anything to protect you and my baby,¡± Jason replied, his voice filled with unwavering determination and love.


    I sighed, feeling a mixture of frustration and gratitude. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go,¡± I said softly, realizing just how much he cared and feeling the weight of his concern.


    As we drove to the hospital, I felt a sense of relief wash over me, knowing that despite everything, Jason was determined to be there for me and our baby.


    Thankfully, the doctor said there was no risk in us having sex, and I could already feel Jason¡¯s cock bing hard even though we were still in the doctor¡¯s office.


    Later that day, we were sitting in the living room after another round of sex, which had taken ce on the ind table in the kitchen. The intimacy left us both glowing with a sense of closeness and satisfaction. As we were enjoying the peaceful moment, someone rang the doorbell.


    I tried to get up, but Jason stopped me, rising instead to answer it himself. Momentster, he returned with a tall, huge, fully tattooed man following him. I couldn¡¯t help but wonder what business Jason had with this imposing figure.


    ¡°Love,¡± Jason called me as he came to sit by my side, the huge man taking a seat on a couch across from us. ¡°This is Tanner. He¡¯s going to be your driver and bodyguard from now on.¡±


    ¡°My bodyguard?¡± I asked incredulously.


    ¡°Yeah, I need to keep you safe at all times,¡± Jason replied, his tone serious.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    ¡°Hi, nice meeting you,¡± I said, forcing a smile onto my face. ¡°I¡¯m Lexi.¡±


    ¡°Nice meeting you, ma¡¯am,¡± Tanner responded politely.


    ¡°He will be staying in the building at the back,¡± Jason added.


    ¡°Okay,¡± I replied, still processing the sudden change.


    As Tanner excused himself to settle into his new quarters, I turned to Jason. ¡°Is this really necessary?¡±


    Jason took my hands in his, his eyes filled with a mix of love and determination. ¡°I want to make sure you and our baby are safe, always. I can¡¯t take any chances.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have the right to make decisions for me without my consent¡± I said angrily.


    ¡°What do you mean? I¡¯m trying to keep you safe,¡± Jason replied, his frustration evident.


    ¡°Without my consent?¡± I repeated, my voice rising.


    ¡°When ites to you, l own you. So, I don¡¯t need your consent before doing what I think is right for you,¡± he said, his tone firm.


    ¡°T¡¯m not your property, I¡¯m not a thing¡± I retorted, getting up angrily and heading towards the bedroom. ¡°I have the right to know before you do things for me.¡±


    ¡°Dixie would be praising me instead¡± he muttered.


    I stopped in my tra cks, turning on my heel to face him with the most devilish stare I could muster. ¡°I¡¯m not your ex, and you don¡¯t expect me to act like her. If you want her back, you know the way,¡± I snapped and stormed out of the living room.


    ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant¡± Jason called after me, running to catch up.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care what you mean at this moment,¡± | said from the bedroom, mming the door before he coulde in.


    ¡°Lexi! Lexi¡¯ he pleaded, knocking on the door. ¡°Lexi, open the door. That was not what I meant.¡±


    ¡°You know how to get to her, go meet her. I¡¯m sure she will be praising you when she sees you¡¯ I shot back, my anger still burning.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lexi. That was not what I meant,¡± he insisted.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to see your face now, so, leave!¡± I yelled, my voice breaking.


    ¡°Im sorry,¡± he repeated, his voice muffled by the door.


    ¡°Just leave,¡± I said, my resolve firm. When the knocking stopped, I went to the bed andid down, my mind racing with frustration and hurt


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    Something was vibrating inside my leg, and that was what woke me up. Sluggishly, I traced it with my hand and realized it wasing from my trouser pocket. I fished out the source of the vibration and saw that it was my old phone, the one my sister had given back to me. A message from Cynthia had woken me up.


    ¡®For real? Judith just texted me now, she said you came back. I would have called but I can¡¯t now. We will talk tomorrow and you better have a good reason for running away. Love you, from your forgotten best friend, Cynthia.¡¯


    I put the phone down and looked at Jason¡¯s side of the bed, which was empty. The events of the evening flooded back to me. I picked up my phone again and checked the time: 1:52 a. m. The house was eerily quiet, and a sense of loneliness washed over me.


    I wondered where Jason was.


    ¡°Oh my God! What have I done?¡± I murmured to myself.


    I opened the door and almost tripped because I wasn¡¯t expecting what I saw. Lo and behold, Jason was lying down at the entrance of our room, with no pillow or nket. Guilt washed over me, making me feel even worse.


    I bent down and started tapping him gently. ¡°Jason,¡± I whispered.


    He stirred and finally said, ¡°Yes?¡±


    ¡°You cane in now.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve forgiven me? I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said, sitting up.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ve forgiven you. Juste back to bed.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it that way,¡± he said, his voice full of regret.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± I repeated, helping him up.


    We got back to bed, and I pushed my back to his front, feeling the warmth of his body. ¡°I just wanted to make sure that you¡¯re safe,¡± he said as he started rubbing my back.


    ¡°You can make sure that I¡¯m safe. You can do whatever you need to do, just make sure you let me know about it. And I¡¯m sorry too,¡± I replied, my voice soft.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± he said, his voice filled with relief.


    He slowly pulled down my trousers and panties before pulling down his, then gently pushed his cock inside me, his front to my back. The familiar sensation brought a sense offort and connection.


    ¡°I told you to stop wearing panties,¡± he murmured into my ear, a hint of a smile in his voice.


    I chuckled softly, feeling a mix of emotions as we moved together. ¡°I¡¯ll keep that in mind,¡± I said, closing my eyes and letting the warmth of the moment wash over us.


    ¡°I love you, Lexi.¡±


    ¡°I love you too,¡± I whispered.

 Chapter 32

    ¡°Babe, your phone is ringing,¡± Jason said in my ear.


    ¡°Give it to me,¡± I mumbled, still half-asleep.


    He handed me the phone, and I answered without checking the caller ID. ¡°Hello, who is this?¡± I asked sleepily.


    ¡°IT¡¯S YOUR FORGOTTEN BEST FRIEND!¡± Cynthia¡¯s voice sted through the speaker, waking me up instantly.


    ¡°Oh! Cynthia! What¡¯s up?¡± I asked, trying to sit up.


    ¡°OH! CYNTHIA WHAT¡¯S UP? IS THAT WHAT YOU¡¯RE SUPPOSED TO SAY AFTER RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME?¡± she mimicked angrily.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Cynthia,¡± I said, feeling a wave of guilt wash over me.


    ¡°You must meet me this afternoon whether you like it or not, and you better have a good excuse nned or else, consider two of your teeth broken.¡±


    ¡°Are you that furious with me?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m super furious with you. Do you know what your hot CEO went through because you left him, or how broken down your sister was? You couldn¡¯t even confide in me before you pulled that stupid stunt, and you expect me not to be furious?¡±


    ¡°I know, Cynthia, I know, and I¡¯m sorry for everything,¡± I said, my voice filled with regret.


    ¡°And I¡¯m sorry for everything,¡± she mimicked again, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, you better have a good excuse for your actions.¡±


    ¡°Okay. See you this afternoon.¡±


    ¡°See you too,¡± she said before hanging up.


    I carelessly threw my phone on the bed and looked out of the window, my thoughts swirling. The reality of my actions and their impact on those I loved weighed heavily on me.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± I said to an already dressed Jason who had been staring at me for some time now.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± he replied.


    ¡°How was your night?¡±


    ¡°It was one of the best nights I¡¯ve had in weeks.¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wake me up when you know we have work today?¡± I asked, a hint of irritation creeping into my voice. I suspected that anger might be one of my pregnancy symptoms.


    ¡°Because I didn¡¯t know if you were ready to go yet.¡±


    ¡°You should have asked me first,¡± I said, trying to keep my temper in check.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, boss,¡± I said, taking a deep breath to calm myself down. ¡°Maybe I should resume next week then.¡±


    ¡°Okay then, I¡¯ll see youter today. And don¡¯t forget to call Tanner if you need anything. I input his number this morning.¡± He kissed me softly on the lips and then bent his head to kiss my stomach. ¡°Bye, cutie, Daddy is going out.¡±


    I saw him off to the door and gave him a very long kiss before going back inside to rearrange our bedroom. The familiar routine brought a sense of calm, helping me focus on the present and the small, reassuring tasks of our shared life.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-


    Cynthia and I decided to meet at Jason¡¯s mansion that afternoon because she wanted to see the billionaire¡¯s mansion herself. She arrived around three, having left work early. Tanner, the bodyguard, confronted her at the gate and asked for my permission before letting her in.


    As soon as she stepped out of the lift, I hugged her, and she hugged me back. ¡°You better have a good excuse,¡± she whispered in my ear.


    ¡°Are you threatening me in my house?¡± I joked.


    ¡°Maybe,¡± she replied with a yful smirk.


    ¡°This way to the sitting room,¡± I said, guiding her.


    ¡°Wow! This is heaven,¡± Cynthia eximed when we got to the sitting room.


    ¡°That¡¯s how I felt the first time I was here,¡± I admitted.


    ¡°And you better have a good excuse,¡± she reminded me again.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you eat first?¡± I suggested. ¡°I prepared your favorite.¡±


    ¡°You nned to bribe me with that. Your excuse first,¡± she insisted, crossing her arms.


    I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her expectation. ¡°Alright,¡± I began, leading her to the couch.


    ¡°I was facing some problems before I left,¡± I began, trying to gather my thoughts.


    ¡°Problems you couldn¡¯t discuss with your best friend,¡± Cynthia said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.


    ¡°I¡¯m trying to exin,¡± I pleaded.


    ¡°Okay, exin,¡± she said, crossing her arms.


    ¡°I started receiving strange calls when Jason and I became a couple. And there¡¯s this girl, Dixie, she¡¯s Jason¡¯s ex, and she threatened me. Then, at the club, when I excused myself to use the restroom, someone threatened me with a knife to my neck.¡±


    ¡°I asked you if there was a problem that night,¡± Cynthia interrupted.


    ¡°I was so scared, I didn¡¯t know what to say. What if she was still watching me? And Jason¡¯s parents already have someone they want him to marry, her name is Sofia. Sofia Scott.¡±


    ¡°The same Scott? The billionaire Scott?¡± Cynthia asked, her eyes widening.


    ¡°Yeah, the billionaire Scott. Because of that, his parents don¡¯t really like me. They see me as a stain. So, that Sunday, his father came to me and gave me a million dors to leave his son.¡±


    ¡°And you left him because of that?¡± Cynthia asked angrily.


    ¡°He threatened me,¡± I exined, my voice trembling.


    ¡°And that is why you left him,¡± she repeated, her tone a mix of disbelief and frustration.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know what else to do,¡± I said, tears forming in my eyes. ¡°I was scared for my life and for my baby. I thought if I disappeared, everyone would be safe.¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute. Your baby? What are you trying to say?¡± Cynthia asked, her eyes wide with surprise.


    ¡°I found out on that Sunday that I¡¯m pregnant,¡± I revealed.


    ¡°You¡¯re pregnant?¡± Cynthia¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m pregnant,¡± I confirmed.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t I notice that?¡± She eximed, jumping up from the couch and rushing over to where I was sitting.


    ¡°Because you were busy checking out the house,¡± I replied with a small smile.


    She enveloped me in a warm hug, and I hugged her back, feeling a mix of emotions flood over me. We stood like that for almost a minute before breaking apart.


    ¡°Congrats,¡± Cynthia said, her voice filled with genuine happiness.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I replied gratefully.


    Jason returned and met Cynthia when he came back. After a quick introduction, he excused himself to take some calls in his office, leaving us to enjoy our Adam Lee movie together.


    ¡°Now, I can have you all to myself,¡± Jason said when Cynthia was gone.


    ¡°I bet you¡¯ve been waiting for this moment since you came back.¡±


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m starving. I¡¯ve not taken breakfast, lunch, not to talk of supper.¡±? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°And I would be lying if I said I¡¯m not hungry either.¡±


    I shifted closer to him and kissed him deeply, which he eagerly responded to. We started kissing passionately, and before we knew it, I was lying on the couch with him on top of me.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the bedroom,¡± he said into my mouth before breaking the kiss. ¡°I want to fuck you on the bed, where you¡¯ll befortable.¡±


    He got up and started making his way to the bedroom while I followed.


    ¡°Your knees on the bed, your hands forward, and your head on the pillow,¡± hemanded when we got to the bedroom.


    ¡°What about my clothes?¡± I asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s a beautiful gown, and I love it, so I want to fuck you with it still on. Hope


    ¡°I¡¯m bare.¡±


    ¡°Holy shit! On your knees.¡±


    He got out of his clothes in seconds and joined me on the bed. He pulled up my gown and smacked me twice on my butt before cing his dick at my pussy entrance. He waited for a few seconds before pushing his head in slowly. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply to take in all the pleasure.


    He pulled out of my pussy slowly and pulled me back to himself by drawing my gown.


    ¡°Fuck,¡± he growled as his breathing became deep and rapid. ¡°Holy shit!¡±


    He increased his pace, and before I knew what was happening, I screamed and cum while he started racing for his own release, which took longer than expected.

 Chapter 33

    On Saturday morning, I woke up due to some noisesing from the sitting room. Reluctantly, I got out of bed, put on my clothes, and went out to check what was going on. I stopped at the entrance of the sitting room to eavesdrop on their conversation to see if I should go in or not. I decided not to when I realized who they were.


    ¡°So, you¡¯re going for the seminar?¡± Jason¡¯s dad asked.


    ¡°Yeah, I will be going,¡± Jason replied.


    ¡°And I¡¯m really happy that you¡¯re back to yourself,¡± his mom added.


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m back to myself, because of her.¡±


    ¡°Who?¡± his father asked curiously.


    ¡°Come out, I know you¡¯re there.¡±


    I squeezed up my face, wondering if I should answer him or ignore him, when he called my name again.


    ¡°Lexi.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± I answered, stepping out of my hiding ce.


    ¡°Come here,¡± Jason said.


    I greeted them as I walked past to where Jason was sitting, avoiding their gazes by looking nowhere in particr.


    ¡°Thanks to not giving up, Dad, I found her. I know you thought I wouldn¡¯t.¡±


    Jason¡¯s parents exchanged nces, a mixture of shock and difort on their faces.


    ¡°Gold dig¡­¡± his father began through gritted teeth.


    ¡°Dad, enough of that,¡± Jason cut him off. ¡°You and I both know she isn¡¯t one, so why are you trying to paint her ck when she¡¯s white?¡±


    Jason stood up and walked into our bedroom, leaving me alone with his extremely furious father and his mother, who was just watching the situation unfold.


    When Jason came back, he went straight to where his dad was sitting and handed him something.


    ¡°Take these,¡± he said with sarcasm. ¡°You can cash them out on your way home.¡±


    ¡°Jason!¡± his dad growled, staring daggers at me. ¡°I told you not toe back here.¡±? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°She didn¡¯t,¡± Jason replied firmly. ¡°I found her. And we don¡¯t need your money.¡±


    ¡°Jason,¡± his mom warned gently, her eyes filled with concern.


    Jason turned to his mother, his voice softening. ¡°Mom, I love her. She is my everything , and I need you to respect her.


    ¡°This is the only person that makes me happy, and you don¡¯t want me to be with her. If you don¡¯t want her, you don¡¯t want me. It¡¯s that simple,¡± Jason dered.


    His dad stood up angrily and began making his way to the entrance, followed by his mom.


    ¡°And news sh¡­¡± Jason called after them.


    They stopped in their tracks, turning to face him.


    ¡°We¡¯re expecting a baby. We¡¯ll let you know when he¡¯s here.¡±


    His dad stormed out after hearing this, while his mom instantly looked at my stomach for confirmation before following her husband.


    ¡°That was too hard,¡± I said to Jason once they were gone.


    ¡°What you and my baby went through was harder,¡± he replied.


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    ¡°Whose side are you on?¡± he cut me off.


    ¡°Yours,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Because I love you.¡±


    ¡°I love you too.¡±


    Weter went shopping that day, and I got myself some new stuff.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    I was sitting on my leather seat in my office with my eyes closed on Monday morning when someone cleared their throat. I opened my eyes instantly to see Jada, Jason¡¯s PA, smiling at me.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± I said.


    ¡°Wee back,¡± she replied.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    She drew out the chair in front of me, sat down, and started staring at me until it became ufortable.


    ¡°What¡¯s it?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Nothing,¡± she smiled. ¡°I¡¯m just happy you¡¯re back.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°And mind you, the next time you hurt Jason the way you did again, I¡¯m gonna hunt you down myself and I¡¯m gonna hurt you back,¡± she threatened. ¡°I¡¯ve worked here all my life, thinking he would look at me once, but he never did. And you, you don¡¯t even care. You just act the way you want. He passed through hell when you left. And seeing him in that pain was almost unbearable for me. Don¡¯t you ever leave him again because he loves you, he loves you so much.¡±


    She finished, got out of her seat, and left.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    Tanner came to pick me up after work because Jason had some things he needed to attend to beforeing home. I used the extra hours to continue my Adam Lee movie since I¡¯d missed so many episodes.


    I paused my movie when the doorbell rang, got up, and opened the door, expecting Jason but instead found Dixie standing there.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± she asked angrily.


    ¡°I should be asking you that question.¡±


    ¡°Bitch!¡± she swore and hit me across the face.


    The p came as a surprise, and before I could raise my hand to hit her back, she struck me again and again until I fell.


    ¡°You bitch!¡± she swore. ¡°How dare youe back? Who do you think you are?¡±


    I could hardly say a word because the ps wereing at me at a rapid pace. Just when I thought there was no way of escaping her wrath, I heard Jason¡¯s voice.


    He rushed to where we were and roughly pushed Dixie away from me.


    ¡°How dare you touch her?¡± Jason growled at her while helping me up.


    ¡°She started it,¡± Dixie lied.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­ a lie,¡± I stammered.


    ¡°It¡¯s obvious you started this, and I¡¯m going to have you arrested for breaking into my house,¡± Jason snapped.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t break into your house. Your gatekeeper gave me permission because he knows me. And stop ying holy because she is here,¡± Dixie retorted.


    ¡°What¡¯s she saying?¡± I asked, my voice shaky and confused.


    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to her. She¡¯s trying to break us apart,¡± Jason whispered to me, his voice soothing but firm. Then he turned back to Dixie. ¡°It¡¯s better you leave before I call the police on you.¡±


    Dixie red at us both, her eyes filled with fury. ¡°You think you can just get rid of me? You think she¡¯ll make you happy? She¡¯ll ruin you, Jason. Just wait and see.¡±


    ¡°I said leave, Dixie. Now,¡± Jasonmanded.


    ¡°Thest time I was here, he was telling me he missed me and he fucked me in this same sitting room,¡± Dixie sneered, her eyes locked on mine with disdain.


    ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re his fuck buddy. You mean nothing to him but someone he loves fucking,¡± I shot back, trying to maintain myposure despite the anger rising within me.


    ¡°Get the fuck out before I call the police on you,¡± Jason¡¯s voice cut through the tension as he approached Dixie, his tone cold and authoritative. He swiftly moved to where she stood and forcibly escorted her out of the building.


    ¡°Jason is mine¡­ and I¡¯m gonna take him back,¡± Dixie shouted defiantly as Jason closed the door behind her, her voice fading into the distance.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Jason asked, his concern evident as he returned to the room.


    ¡°Yeah, I am,¡± I replied, trying to steady my breathing.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry for everything,¡± Jason apologized, his gaze filled with regret.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s not your fault,¡± I assured him, reaching out to touch his arm gently.


    ¡°It is. I should have told Kearney not to allow her in,¡± Jason said, frustration evident in his voice.


    ¡°Kearney, that¡¯s the name of our gatekeeper?¡± I asked, seeking rification.


    ¡°Yeah, he knows her. I should have been more cautious,¡± Jason sighed, running a hand through his hair.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. She¡¯s gone now,¡± I reassured him, offering a small smile.


    Jason nodded, visibly relieved. ¡°I¡¯ll make sure security is tightened. This won¡¯t happen again.¡±


    I nodded in agreement, grateful for his protective instincts. Despite the unsettling encounter with Dixie, I felt reassured by Jason¡¯s presence and determination to keep me safe.


    Thirty minutester.


    ¡°JASON!¡± I screamed in panic, my voice echoing through the house. ¡°JASON! JASON!¡±


    Jason rushed into the sitting room, his face filled with concern. ¡°What is it?¡± he asked urgently.


    ¡°BLOOD,¡± I managed to say, my voice trembling.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jason questioned, moving closer to me.


    I opened my legs, and as he saw the blood, his face went pale. He stumbled back and copsed, shaking visibly with shock and fear.


    ¡°I¡­ I need to call an ambnce,¡± Jason muttered, his voice barely audible as he fumbled for his phone.


    I sat there, terrified and unsure of what was happening. Tears streamed down my face as I realized something was terribly wrong. The pain and the sight of blood left me feeling helpless and scared.

 Chapter 34

    JASON STOKES


    I couldn¡¯t move from where I was when I saw the blood. I just sat there on the floor, staring between her legs, with one statement ringing in my head: ¡°JASON, YOU DIDN¡¯T PROTECT HER! JASON, YOU DIDN¡¯T PROTECT HER!¡±


    ¡°Jason,¡± she cried, ¡°do something.¡±


    I tried to get up, but I couldn¡¯t. The blood was too much. Thankfully, my phone was with me, so I called Tanner.


    ¡°Sir,¡± Tanner answered promptly.


    ¡°Get the car ready ande up instantly,¡± I instructed, my voice shaking.


    Together, we helped her into the car. I sat in the backseat with her while Tanner drove as fast as he could. On our way to the hospital, I called my family doctor, who picked up instantly.


    ¡°Mr. Stokes,¡± he answered.


    ¡°Get your people ready,¡± I cried into the phone. ¡°I think she is¡­ losing the baby.¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡± he asked, rmed.


    ¡°Long story. We¡¯re almost at the hospital,¡± I said, my voice cracking with worry.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic and drive safely,¡± he advised.


    I hung up the phone and turned my attention back to her. I held her hand tightly, trying to offer somefort.


    ¡°it¡¯s hurting me,¡± she cried, her voice filled with pain.


    ¡°I know, but everything is going to be okay soon,¡± I reassured her, though I wasn¡¯t sure if I was trying to convince her or myself. The sight of her in pain and the fear of losing our baby was overwhelming, but I had to stay strong for her.


    The nurses were waiting for us at the entrance of the hospital. They quickly helped her onto a stretcher, moving with the urgency the situation demanded. I ran alongside Tanner, my heart pounding with fear and adrenaline. Just as I was about to follow her into the emergency room, a nurse stopped me..


    ¡°Please wait here, sir,¡± she said firmly. ¡°We¡¯ll take care of her. The doctor will update you as soon as possible.¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    ¡°But¡­¡± I started, my voice breaking.


    ¡°We¡¯ll do everything we can,¡± she assured me, her tone softening as she saw the desperation in my eyes. ¡°Please, trust us.¡±


    I nodded, feeling utterly helpless.  I watched them wheel her away. The doors closed behind her, leaving me in a cold, sterile hallway filled with uncertainty.


    Thirty minutester, Dr. Jocasta approached me, and I leapt out of my seat.


    ¡°How is she?¡± I asked, my voice trembling.


    ¡°She¡¯s okay. She¡¯s sleeping right now,¡± she replied calmly.


    ¡°And the baby?¡± I asked quietly, my heart pounding.


    ¡°He¡¯s fine. She just had a panic attack.¡±


    ¡°Really? He¡¯s really fine?¡± Relief washed over me.


    ¡°Yes, he is. I would advise you to let her rest for now, and you can take her home when she wakes up.¡±


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I said, ovee with gratitude as I hugged her.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I was just doing my job,¡± she reassured me with a gentle smile.


    LEXI TYLER


    I opened my eyes slowly to see Jason staring at me, worry etched across his face.


    ¡°Hey, Lexi, are you okay?¡± he asked gently.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I replied, my voice still weak. ¡°Where am I?¡±


    ¡°Hospital.¡±


    Everything came rushing back, and I instinctively looked down at my stomach, my heart pounding with fear for our baby.


    ¡°The baby is okay,¡± Jason reassured me quickly.


    ¡°For real? I was scared something happened to him,¡± I said, my eyes searching his for any sign of doubt.


    ¡°He is fine. How are you feeling now?¡± he asked, his concern evident.


    ¡°I¡¯m feeling okay,¡± I replied, starting to rx.


    When we got back home, Jason wouldn¡¯t let me lift a finger. He fed me, showered me, and tucked me into bed himself, his care and love wrapping around me like aforting nket.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-


    ¡°How is she feeling now?¡± I heard someone whisper in our room.


    ¡°She¡¯s fine,¡± Jason whispered back.


    I opened my eyes instantly to see what was going on and started helping myself into a sitting position when I saw who was in our room with Jason.


    ¡°Easy, easy,¡± Jason said gently while helping me.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± Jason¡¯s mom said. I nodded in response. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for what happened yesterday. I know you don¡¯t expect me here, but I¡¯m here because I care for you.¡±


    ¡°Since when?¡± I thought.


    ¡°Jason,¡± she called.


    ¡°Yes?¡±


    ¡°Can you excuse us?¡± she asked.


    Jason looked at me for confirmation, and I nodded slightly. He squeezed my hand reassuringly before leaving the room.


    She came to sit down next to me on the bed and held my left hand with her two hands.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for everything I¡¯ve done, said, or however I¡¯ve acted towards you. At first, I thought you were one of those girls that were after our money, gold, and name, but you proved me wrong. Do you know this? Jason became a different person when you left, and I thought I was going to lose him. Then you showed up again with our money and my grandkid.¡±


    I was taken aback by her words. It was the first time she¡¯d ever acknowledged her behavior and admitted to being wrong.


    ¡°I understand why you thought that,¡± I said softly. ¡°But I love Jason, and I¡¯m not here for the money. I¡¯m here because I love him, and now we have a baby on the way.¡±


    Tears welled up in her eyes, and she squeezed my hand. ¡°Thank you for loving my son. And thank you for giving us another chance. I¡¯m here to support you, Lexi, and I hope we can start over.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not saying you should forgive me now, but I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me one day, for the sake of our big family. I couldn¡¯t sleep throughout the night when I heard what that lowlife did to you, and the only reason she isn¡¯t in prison yet is because Jason doesn¡¯t want her to be. I¡¯m sorry for what she did to you,¡± she finished and squeezed my hand.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ve forgiven you wholeheartedly because of the love between me and Jason and because of our baby.¡±


    ¡°You really did?¡± she asked, her eyes filling with tears.


    ¡°Yes, I did,¡± I confirmed, smiling gently.


    She hugged me tightly, and for the first time, I felt a genuine connection with her. ¡°Thank you, Lexi. Thank you so much. I wasn¡¯t expecting that¡±


    She joined us for breakfast, and we ate and chatted throughout the meal.


    In the evening, I was watching my Adam Lee movie while Jason was in his office going through some files Jada had brought him since he was unable to go to the office. My phone started ringing. I checked the caller before pausing the movie.


    ¡°Sis,¡± I said.


    ¡°Lexi,¡± Judith cried.


    I became alert instantly. ¡°Judith, what¡¯s wrong?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Mama is dead,¡± she sobbed.


    ¡°Dead? What happened? Howe? I saw him about a week ago, and there was nothing wrong with him. When?¡±


    ¡°Today,¡± she managed to say through her tears.


    ¡°How did it happen?¡± I asked, feeling a lump form in my throat.


    ¡°I got back home and wanted to feed him but found a lot of blood instead. Somebody stabbed him. Mama was nice, he wouldn¡¯t hurt anybody, but someone hurt him and I wasn¡¯t home to protect him,¡± Judith sobbed.


    I exhaled heavily, struggling to find the right words. ¡°I¡¯m short of words, sis. I don¡¯t even know what to say right now.¡±


    ¡°That isn¡¯t all,¡± she said, her voice trembling even more.


    ¡°What else?¡± I asked, dreading the answer.


    ¡°There was a message on his body,¡± she whispered.


    ¡°What was written on it?¡± I asked, my heart pounding.


    ¡°It says, ¡®I told you I¡¯m not going to be this nice the next time we meet.''¡±


    The phone unconsciously fell from my hand when I heard this because I knew who had told me that exact statement before and where. The memory of the threat in the club bathroom flooded back.


    I could barely speak, my mind racing.


    ¡°Lexi! Lexi!¡± Judith¡¯s voice called out urgently.


    I picked up the phone again. ¡°Yeah, sis, I¡¯m fine,¡± I assured her, trying to steady my voice.


    ¡°What was that all about?¡± she asked.


    ¡°I ran into a wall,¡± I lied, trying to keep my voice even.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± I repeated.


    ¡°What do you think that message is about?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t know, sis, but I will look into it.¡±


    ¡°You sure?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, very,¡± I said, trying to sound confident.


    I hung up the phone and headed straight to Jason¡¯s office, my mind racing with the implications of Judith¡¯s call. When I reached his office, I found him standing by his desk, his face etched with worry.


    ¡°Jason, we need to talk,¡± I said, closing the door behind me.

 Chapter 35

    ¡°Jason,¡± I called urgently. ¡°We need to talk.¡±


    ¡°Give me five minutes,¡± he replied, focused on the file in his hands.


    ¡°It¡¯s urgent. We need to talk now.¡±


    ¡°Babe, what¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked, his voice softening.


    ¡°Mama is dead,¡± I said, my voice catching.


    ¡°Mama? Mama? I don¡¯t get it,¡± he responded, puzzled.


    ¡°Mama, my sister¡¯s dog. The one I told you about,¡± I rified.


    ¡°Oh! I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said, realizing what I meant.


    ¡°That¡¯s not the problem,¡± I continued.


    ¡°What¡¯s the problem, babe?¡± he asked, his brow furrowing with worry.


    ¡°He was stabbed, and a message was written on him. It was the exact statement that woman said to me,¡± I exined, my voice trembling.


    ¡°You mean thedy at the club?¡± Jason asked, his eyes narrowing with concern and realization.


    ¡°Yeah,¡± I confirmed, nodding.


    ¡°She told me she wouldn¡¯t be nice the next time we met, and that was what was written on Mama,¡± I said, my voice shaking.


    Jason got out of his seat and walked over to me, his expression fierce with determination. ¡°Nothing will happen to you as long as you¡¯re with me,¡± he promised, pulling me into a protective embrace. ¡°And don¡¯t worry about her. I¡¯m going to find her and bring her to justice myself.¡±


    That same day, Jason tripled the number of security guards around our home. The next day, he had additional CCTV cameras installed, ensuring that every corner of our property was monitored.


    ¡°I won¡¯t let anyone hurt you,¡± he said, his eyes meeting mine with unwavering resolve. ¡°We¡¯ll get through this together.¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    On Thursday morning, when I was sure that I could go back to work, I told Jason about it


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure if you shoulde back to work, at least, not now¡± he said reluctantly


    ¡°House is boring without you¡±


    ¡°You can watch ¡®Jessica¡¯ while I¡¯m away¡±


    ¡°But I really want to go¡±


    ¡°Okay, but no hard work or walking up and down the corridor¡±


    ¡°Alright boss¡±


    We left in his car but I was surprised when six other cars followed us, three at our front and three at our back


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I asked


    ¡°Anything for you¡± he replied


    We got to the office and I¡¯ve hardly sat down when Stephanie came into my office


    ¡°Hey! Lexi!¡± She said and hugged me. ¡°I¡¯m d you¡¯re back.¡±


    ¡°Hey Stephanie¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just d to see you too,¡± I said, returning her hug.


    ¡°So, how are you feeling? Is everything alright?¡± Stephanie asked, concern evident in her voice.


    ¡°I¡¯m doing much better now, thanks. Just trying to get back into the swing of things,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Good to hear. If you need anything or if it¡¯s too much, just let me know, okay?¡± she said, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze.


    ¡°I will. Thanks, Stephanie.¡±


    ¡°Should I be expecting you at lunch?¡± She asked


    ¡°No thank you¡±


    After she left, I settled into my work, feeling a sense of normalcy. The increased security was a constant reminder of the recent threats, but knowing Jason was doing everything to protect me gave me some peace of mind. Determined to move forward, I focused on my tasks, grateful for the support around me.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    We had just finished a slow, intimate morning together, basking in thezy Saturday sunshine filtering through the curtains, when Jason¡¯s phone rang.


    ¡°WHAT!?¡± he shouted into the phone, jolting up. ¡°I¡¯m checking it out right now!¡±


    He scrambled out of bed, his urgency palpable, and pulled on his boxers as fast as possible. The sudden shift in his demeanor set my heart racing.


    ¡°Babe, what¡¯s going on?¡± I asked, my voice trembling with concern.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know yet. I need to check it out,¡± he replied, his tone tense and hurried.


    ¡°Check what out?¡± I pressed, feeling a knot tighten in my stomach.


    ¡°The news,¡± he said, his eyes darting around as he tried to focus.


    ¡°Who called you just now?¡± I asked, trying to piece together the fragments of the situation.


    ¡°Mom,¡± he responded curtly.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I repeated, my anxiety mounting.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± he said again, frustration and worry etched across his face.


    I quickly followed him into the living room, my legs barely carrying me as I sank onto the couch. My hands were shaking as I grabbed the remote, and my breath caught in my throat when I saw the headline sh across the screen:


    **SOFIA SCOTT AND NICOLE JONATHAN ACCUSED OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER OF DOROTEA JAVIER.**


    The world seemed to tilt, and I clung to the couch, trying to make sense of the words ring at me. Jason stood frozen, his eyes glued to the TV, his face a mask of disbelief and horror.


    Dorotea Javier, as reported on the news Friday morning when her lifeless body was discovered in her room, was a twenty-six-year-old nurse who had recently begun dating an international musician.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± Jason swore vehemently, still rooted in front of the television.


    ¡°Who would have thought Sofia was involved in this murder?¡± I eximed, barely believing the unfolding news. Jason remained fixated on the screen, his expression unreadable.


    ¡°Oh my God!¡± I suddenly cried out when images of Sofia and Nicole shed across the screen.


    ¡°What is it?¡± Jason asked urgently.


    ¡°There she is,¡± I gasped, pointing at the screen, my voice trembling.


    ¡°Who?¡± Jason asked, his concern deepening.


    ¡°The girl I told you about. The girl from the club. Oh my God! This could have been me,¡± I cried, feeling the weight of the situation settle over me like a suffocating nket.


    ¡°I rebuke it in Jesus¡¯ name,¡± Jason said firmly, moving to sit beside me on the couch and wrapping his arms around mefortingly.


    ¡°It could have been me,¡± I repeated, my voice trembling with fear and disbelief.


    ¡°I told you, nothing will happen to you as long as I¡¯m alive,¡± Jason reassured me, his voice steady despite the turmoil of the moment.


    But the reality of Sofia¡¯s actions, the proximity of danger, left me shaken to my core. I dialed my sister as soon as I couldpose myself enough to speak coherently, recounting the harrowing


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    On Sunday morning, Jason nned to take me to his favorite restaurant to celebrate our freedom and the end of a harrowing week. As I finished getting ready, the doorbell rang.


    ¡°Are you expecting someone?¡± I asked him, my curiosity piqued.


    ¡°No,¡± he replied, a puzzled look crossing his face.


    He checked the visitors and, upon recognizing them, opened the door. His dad and mom stepped inside, bringing with them an air of tension. His dad brushed past Jason without a word and sat down on the same couch he¡¯d upied just a week ago, his mom following suit.


    ¡°We are on our way out,¡± Jason said to his dad, his tone clipped.


    ¡°Jason,¡± his mom warned, a note of caution in her voice.


    ¡°It¡¯s the truth, Mom,¡± he insisted, his frustration evident.


    ¡°Spare me thirty minutes of your time before you leave,¡± his dad finally said, breaking his silence. His voice carried a gravity that made it clear he wouldn¡¯t be brushed off.


    ¡°This¡­ this better be good,¡± Jason murmured, reluctantlying to sit next to me.


    ¡°Sofia¡­¡± His dad began, but trailed off.


    ¡°The billionaire murderess you wanted me to marry,¡± Jason interjected sarcastically.


    ¡°Jason,¡± his mom warned again, a plea for decorum in her voice.


    ¡°Mom, isn¡¯t it true? That girl could have been my Lexi,¡± Jason retorted, his voice rising with anger and frustration. ¡°I¡¯ve always told you guys that Sofia is an animal in human skin, but you never listened. Sofia this, Sofia that. And now look where we are.¡±


    His dad looked down, clearly troubled, while his mom seemed on the verge of tears. The tension in the room was palpable, and I held Jason¡¯s hand, trying to offer somefort amidst the storm of emotions.


    ¡°I know,¡± his dad said quietly. ¡°Everything was for you. I just wanted the best for you.¡±


    ¡°The best for me is sitting right here with my baby in her womb,¡± Jason replied, squeezing my hand.


    ¡°I know. Sofia¡¯s actions came as a shock to everybody, even her parents,¡± his dad continued, his voice heavy with regret.


    ¡°The only thing shocking about her is that her hitman was the same person who threatened my girl at a club a few months back and even killed her sister¡¯s dog a week ago,¡± Jason revealed, his anger barely contained.


    ¡°Oh my God!¡± his mom eximed, covering her mouth in shock. ¡°She did that?¡±


    ¡°At the time, we didn¡¯t know it was her. That¡¯s why I tightened my security. I wouldn¡¯t let anything happen to her,¡± Jason exined, his protective resolve clear.


    ¡°I know you deserve to be this angry with me and your mom. And you too, Lexi. I¡¯ve never treated you right since I met you, but I¡¯m ready to ept you as my daughter if you can give me a second chance,¡± his dad said, his voice tinged with sincerity and regret.


    ¡°Stop acting all nice and cool. I know what you¡¯re doing. You¡¯re doing this for your business, for your reputation,¡± Jason shot back angrily, his eyes zing with fury.


    ¡°Jason,¡± his mom warned again, trying to calm the escting tension.


    ¡°Mom! You know exactly what he is trying to do. He¡¯s trying to save his reputation, to save hispany by using Lexi since some of his business partners know about my rtionship with Sofia,¡± Jason argued, his frustration boiling over.


    I felt the weight of his words and theplex web of emotions in the room. Jason¡¯s father looked pained, struggling to maintain hisposure.


    ¡°I understand your skepticism, Jason. But my intentions are genuine. I made mistakes, and I want to make things right,¡± his father said, his voice breaking slightly.


    ¡°That isn¡¯t true at all,¡± his dad said slowly. ¡°I¡¯ve been having a change of mind about who Lexi is since she never cashed those checks.¡±


    ¡°And you expect me to believe-¡± Jason began, but I cut him off.


    ¡°I¡¯m ready to give you a second chance,¡± I said firmly, my voice cutting through the tension.


    ¡°What are you saying?¡± Jason whispered angrily, his disbelief evident. ¡°He treated you like trash,¡± he said out loud, his anger barely contained.


    ¡°I think everybody deserves a second chance,¡± I replied, my gaze steady.


    ¡°A second chance? He¡¯s trying to save his name and hispany,¡± Jason whispered urgently.


    ¡°It¡¯s your name and yourpany too,¡± I countered, my tone soft but resolute.


    ¡°I¡¯m really happy that you think better than Jason,¡± his dadplimented with a smile, a rare expression on his usually stern face. It looked almost strange, but I could see a flicker of genuine relief in his eyes.

 Chapter 36

    One monthter.


    Today was Wednesday, and I¡¯d been all alone in the house for the past three days because Jason was away on a business trip. To pass the time, I hung out with Cynthia in the afternoon since she was on leave. We decided to start a new movie since we had finished watching Jessica.


    Halfway through the first episode, Cynthia¡¯s phone rang.


    ¡°Hi,¡± Cynthia said seductively, her voice taking on a yful tone.


    ¡°You serious?¡± she asked, curling up her legs and smiling at her polished nails. ¡°Ok. Alright then.¡±


    She hung up the phone and turned to me with a smile as if she¡¯d just won a jackpot.


    ¡°Who was that?¡± I asked, curiosity piqued.


    ¡°Secreeeeet,¡± she replied, still smiling.


    ¡°Why would you keep secrets from me?¡± I teased, raising an eyebrow.


    ¡°I was just kidding. That was John.¡±


    ¡°John? Jason¡¯s John?¡± I repeated, surprised.


    ¡°Yeah, Jason¡¯s John,¡± she said, setting her phone down on the couch with a seductive smile. ¡°He wants me to meet him tonight.¡±


    ¡°And?¡± I prompted, eager to hear more.


    ¡°We¡¯ve been chatting for a while now,¡± she admitted, a hint of excitement in her voice.


    ¡°And?¡±


    ¡°We metst week Saturday,¡± Cynthia confessed.


    ¡°And?¡±


    ¡°We didn¡¯t do anything,¡± she added, a bit defensively.


    ¡°And?¡±


    ¡°Why are you asking me so many questions? It¡¯s not like you tell me everything you and Jason do,¡± she shot back.


    ¡°That¡¯s because you don¡¯t ask. I¡¯m asking, and I need answers,¡± I retorted.


    ¡°Whatever,¡± she said, rolling her eyes as she got up from her seat. ¡°What do you care for?¡± she asked as she headed to the freezer.


    ¡°A bowl of ice cream, a pack of Doritos, two bottles of Coke, one bowl of macaroni, and some fries,¡± I rattled off with a grin.


    ¡°You¡¯re not in a restaurant,¡± she said, giving me a look.


    ¡°You asked me what I care for.¡±


    ¡°That was a normal question, and I was expecting a normal answer.¡±


    ¡°Do I look normal to you?¡±


    ¡°Oh! Pardon, it slipped my mind that you¡¯re two,¡± she teased, handing me a pack of Doritos and a Coke.


    I took the snacks with a smile, feeling grateful for herpany and the lighthearted banter.


    ¡°Do you n on doing it with him tonight?¡± I asked quietly, hoping she¡¯d give me an answer this time.


    ¡°I might, it depends,¡± she replied, her tone thoughtful.


    ¡°Woah! I think I¡¯m getting jealous,¡± I joked, trying to lighten the mood.


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna tell that to Mr. Stokes,¡± she teased back.


    ¡°As if you can,¡± I smiled and yfully threw some Doritos at her.


    ¡°Try me,¡± she grinned, then added, ¡°And you better start cleaning those up,¡± nodding at the scattered Doritos.


    Iughed and helped her pick out a dinner gown, enjoying our time together. Just as we finished, I left a few minutes before John¡¯s arrival, wishing her luck with a smile.


    After showering and putting on my nightgown, I sat on the bed, picked up my phone, and texted Jason.


    ¡°You still awake?¡±


    ¡°Yup,¡± he texted back instantly.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°What are you doing now?¡± I texted.


    ¡°I¡¯m lying down on my hotel bed thinking of you. And you?¡±


    ¡°I wish you were back home today as nned.¡±


    ¡°Are you missing me that badly?¡±


    ¡°More.¡±


    He FaceTimed me instantly, and we chatted for a good hour before we said good night.


    I found it very hard to sleep since Jason wasn¡¯t around. After tossing and turning for about thirty minutes, I gave up. Slowly, I pulled up my nightgown, inserted two of my fingers, and started moving them in and out of my pussy, imagining they were Jason¡¯s fingers until I cummed.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C,


    I was in a dream, I was asleep, and Jason was back, gently tapping me to wake up. He was smiling at me, and I started smiling too, even though my eyes were still closed. He continued tapping me until I was forced to open my eyes, and when I did, I didn¡¯t see Jason but someone else.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± I asked, shockingly but quietly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± she said, though her expression didn¡¯t match her


    **JASON STOKES¡¯ POV:**


    I finally gave up on sleeping and reluctantly picked up my phone, which had been ringing for a while.


    ¡°Babe,¡± I mumbled into the receiver sleepily, assuming it was Lexi.


    ¡°Jason,¡± Mom¡¯s urgent voice came through.


    ¡°Mom.¡±


    ¡°Where are you right now?¡± she asked quickly.


    ¡°Not at home,¡± I replied, rubbing my eyes.


    ¡°Have you seen the morning news?¡± she asked, her tone grave.


    ¡°I¡¯m just waking up, what¡¯s going on?¡± I said, suddenly alert.


    ¡°Sofia,¡± she said simply.


    My eyes snapped open wide.


    ¡°What happened to her?¡± I asked, already getting out of bed, heart racing.


    ¡°She broke out of prisonst night.¡±


    ¡°What!?¡± I shouted, adrenaline coursing through me.


    I almost tripped over myself as I hurried to the television.


    ¡°What do you think she¡¯s doing?¡± I asked, my mind racing as I reached for the remote.


    ¡°No one knows,¡± Mom replied solemnly.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll talk to youter,¡± I said quickly, hanging up the phone. I sank onto the couch, staring at the headline on the screen, shaking my head as Sofia¡¯s picture shed before me.


    One hourter


    After dressing up and getting ready to leave for the airport, I picked up my phone to inform Lexi of my movement but got no reply. Panic began to set in by the fifth attempt, especially with thetest news about Sofia. Trying to stay calm and hoping I was wrong, I called Tanner.


    ¡°Sir,¡± Tanner answered promptly.


    ¡°Are you at home?¡± I asked urgently.


    ¡°Yes, sir,¡± he replied.


    ¡°What about Lexi?¡±


    ¡°Ma¡¯am is in the house,¡± he confirmed.


    ¡°Have you seen her today?¡± I pressed.


    ¡°No, sir,¡± Tanner responded quickly.


    ¡°Go and check on her right now, and get back to me in two seconds,¡± I instructed firmly.


    ¡°Okay, sir,¡± Tanner acknowledged before hanging up.


    I waited anxiously, each second feeling like an eternity. Five minutester, Tanner called back.


    ¡°What about her?¡± I asked immediately.


    ¡°I¡¯ve searched everywhere, but ma¡¯am is nowhere to be found,¡± Tanner reported, his voice tense.


    My heart sank, and I struggled to think clearly.


    ¡°Have you checked the bedroom?¡± I asked desperately.


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡±


    ¡°Restrooms?¡±


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡±


    ¡°What about the guest rooms?¡±


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡±


    ¡°And my office?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve checked everywhere, sir,¡± Tanner affirmed.


    I hung up the phone, grabbed my suitcase, and sprinted out of the room. I didn¡¯t stop running until I reached the hotel entrance.


    ¡°Sofiaaaa!¡± I growled, clenching my fists tightly, imagining her neck in my grip. The thought of any harming to Lexi fueled a rage I could barely contain.
