"James!" Alex called. "Sir," James answered in great fear. Alex was the last person he was expecting to hear his voice at that moment and Elisa almost fell from his shoulder. He hurried into his room and placed Elisa on his bed and rushed out after closing his door. His fingers were shivering and his heart was pounding. "James?" Alex called again. "Where are you?" "Sir, I'm… here." He entered the sitting room and almost at the same time, Loveth opened the entrance door and entered. Both of them could not hide their disbelief. "Darling… you came home so early. Welcome." She stood for a while, dumbfounded. Then she walked away, leaving James and Alex in the sitting room. Alex thought she had gone to her room, but she hid herself to hear what would transpire between both of them. "James, you need to go to the airport. There is a parcel I have been waiting for. It has arrived. You need to go there and bring it for me. Use my car. There is a code at the dashboard. That's t
"Can't you wait for James? He is in charge of the entire house. You can't work in his absence." "Dear, I know the exact things he wants to repair," Loveth said at once. "No. That's James work. Let's wait for James to come back. Why are you in such a hurry? Moreover," he checked his wristwatch and changed the conversation. "Elisa is taking a long time to come back from the Mall." Alex added as he shrugged. "Who knows if she had used that opportunity to go and see her boyfriend. He always leaves home at noon when you are not around." Loveth hissed. "Give him another glass of wine." Alex stretched his right hand towards Loveth. Hmm… thank you Sir, I'm okay," Henry replied. "No, I want you to have another glass of wine. You can sit and watch me drinking alone."Loveth sighed and got up and gave him another glass of wine. After Henry had taken a sip from his wine, Alex asked. "How long have you been in this field?" "Hmm.. about four years ago." "Have you wor
She gently opened the door and saw no one at the door. She was just hallucinating out of fear. She closed the door again and called James. She could feel the sound of her breath. Her fear chided her fingers as if she was uncovered on a winter night. She felt the disadvantage of her actions more than what she was hoping to have at that moment. But she took a deep breath and curled her lips before asking James. "What's your plan? Please speak fast, I want to leave your room." "I was thinking if you can drag Elisa through one of the back doors and place her outside. So when I'm coming inside, I will carry her in and say that someone must have dropped her near the house when she saw that she was drunk." "Oh my goodness! How did you come up with such a genius idea?" "I'm doing my best to get my balance money from you." "That's not an issue James. I will pay you what I promise you. But I don't think I have the strength to carry her outside, so you should come and carry her
When James was finding it difficult to speak, Alex brought out his phone and said, "I have the records of your conversation with Loveth right from the start." Both Loveth and James looked at themselves, and thought it was a trick. Alex pressed the play button and put the phone on speaker and the beginning of what he recorded started playing. "Hello ma…See what you have caused. What are we going to do? Elisa is still sleeping. How long will she stay awake? When are you coming back from the airport?...." It was very obvious that all their secrets were now exposed. "James, I want you to tell me everything. How did it started?"There was instant fear in his eyes and as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door. James wanted to go and open the door, but Alex said, "Don't worry. Those are my special guests. They will come in when I want them." "Please Sir, forgive me. It was the handiwork of your fiance. Some days ago, she told me to make sure that Elisa leaves
Alex made a forced smile and Elisa thought he was going to say something related to what she asked him. "My beloved," he gently placed his right hand on her shoulder and added. "I will tell you, but not in this kind of place. I want to take you out on a date in one of the finest restaurants in town. There we can talk heart to heart. But first of all. This room is no longer yours. I will not allow the woman I love to stay here. Come," he took a step and continued, "come and see your room." "I hope it is not the room of your fiance you are about to show me?" "Stop calling Loveth my fiance. If she is capable of doing what she just did to you, then she is capable of poisoning you." He held her hand and took her to the third floor and showed her a marvelous master bedroom, and it was well furnished. Alex went to his room and came back with a credit card and gave it to Elisa. "This is for you. You can withdraw as much as you can withdraw. It has unlimited money inside." El
"I still see you as my boss. It will be hard to go naked before your eyes. I still feel apprehensive when you talk to me. Please give me some time to go over this." "How much time do you need?" "I can't really say, but I need time to get used to you. Please, let's get used to each other before we go out. Please, I will love to beg you for something. It has been difficult to say it all this while." "What's that?" He asked. "I want to go and see my mom." "How is her health?" He asked almost immediately. "It is better for now." "I can't stop you from seeing your mom. Whatever that will bring happiness to you is my greatest delight."Elisa moved her hands and embraced him. "You are such a nice man. You came into my life and gave it a purpose. What can I do to please you?" She whispered into his ear. "You know what to do." He kissed her right cheek and left. Elisa watched him as he left the sitting room. As soon as she was alone, she smiled and went to her new roo
"Honey, I don't even know the person you are talking about. I will suggest you take a rest. You need to rest your body. Moreover, let bygones be bygones. That's your past. Digging into your past will only refresh your painful wounds. I will suggest you forget about it and focus on the future. I want you to think about what you will love to become and I will establish it for you. But now, you need to sleep." He kissed her forehead. "Thank you so much. You are such a wonderful gift to my life." She turned herself and lay down with her right side, and Alex pulled the blanket and covered her. The next day, both Alex and Elisa were at the dining table eating breakfast when Alex received a call from his secretary. "Sir, you have an executive meeting by 10AM." "What? Is the meeting scheduled for today?" "Yes Sir." "Thanks for reminding me." He ended the call and turned to Elisa. "I will be leaving home soon. This meeting does not mean we are not going out today. I neve
"It's more painful when you think that the person you trust and started to love is behind your pain. Just one night you dismantled me, took what I have preserved, and you changed the pace of my life. I thought I had met a savior, but I didn't know I met a demon with sheep 's clothing. You humiliated me and in fear I ran out of the hotel half naked. From the first day I saw you, you acted as if you care, but my instincts kept telling me you wanted to harm me. You drove everyone away from your house, preparing to repeat what you have done before. I hated you the most because I had the chance of begging you countless times on that fateful night, more than my ex boyfriend who sold me out when his life was at stake. The thought of that day is like a ghost fear. What I ought to enjoy became a torture. You killed my desire to make love. I no longer have the joy that aroused before making love, all I feel is panic. You told me, 'let bygones be bygones,' when you knew you were the very one
