When I turn over the bed the following morning, Riley isn’t there; he has most likely already departed.My first day of work is today, and I don't want to be late. There are some clothing on the room's couch, I observe. I am aware that Riley dropped them off there, specially for me. He is caring at all times.I take a bath and change into a traditional pink business outfit.Upon leaving Riley's room, I notice that Samantha and Granny Smith are not around; perhaps they are still asleep.After a little while, my Uber pulls up in front of MIRLZ. The workplace is teeming with life and enthusiasm as I enter through the glass doors of the sleek, contemporary structure.Workers are hurrying around, using their laptops and phones to communicate. A hint of nervousness couldn't be help when I walk over to the front desk.“Hello, this is Linda McKenzie, I’ve been recruited not long ago. It's my first day of work here.”I grin and say to the receptionist.In response, the receptionist smiles

The next morning, half awake, I’m woke up by Riley kiss in the hollow of my neck.“Umm… Riley !”I roll over to face him.“How’s the most beautiful woman of the world ?”Then, I remember what happened the last night and I feel shy. My legs continue to quiver with our passion. I still see his powerful body pressed against mine. I had never felt so much pleasure. Was he aware of what he had made me experience last night ?But how will it be in the future? After our contract ends.I think I’m starting feeling something for him.“You are so sweet, Linda ! You made me the most happiest man of the world.”I blush and he caresses my cheek.“Today is granny’s birthday !”“Oh, Riley ! Why did you wait till now to tell me ? I could have get her a gift, hope it’s not too late.”“Don’t worry ! We still get time for that.”“Great, then.”“Get ready !”“Do you have an idea of what we can offer her ?”“Not really, but if you have an idea let me know.”“Sure.”“What then ?”“A puppy.”He frowns.“Umm

I grab my phone to call the 911.Suddenly, a sound in the kitchen makes me start, a sound of men’s leather shoes on the tile floor.“Who’s there ?”I stand petrified by the fear, not knowing what to do.The footsteps are coming closer, I slip out of my pump and hold it up in front of me like a knife.As I am getting ready to fight the mysterious man, Worker appears.“What are you doing here ?”“Oh, sorry Linda ! I didn’t mean to scare you.”Letting me know that I’m still holding my shoe as an arm. I set my shoe down.“I think we should bring Riley at the hospital, he is not waking up.”“Don’t worry ! He is sleeping.”“Really ? I don’t think so, something is wrong with him.”“Chill ! He fell asleep, he is good. The first time, he slept off like this was in his office. I even called the 911.” I feel foolish all of a sudden.“I was pretty worried, though.”“If that’s all, I think I’ll

Against All Odds “Mr. Smith, my savior “ His caresses
I'm taken aback by Riley's imposing presence."Riley, I need some air, I'm having trouble breathing."He gives me a small amount of space when his body loosens up, but he doesn't let go entirely."I'd want a little space. Please, it was very stressful for me as well."He lets go of me and steps back while stroking my hair."You guys said a lot, but the way you stood up for yourself with him was too stunning. You and him got into a heated disagreement. Do you intend to reconcile with him again ?"I'm not sure how he can ask such a question after everything that transpired with James."Well, James and I have a history, but that's all this is. Nothing to reignite exists there. My relationship with him is now in the past.""Are you certain ? Can I trust you ?""Of course I’m sure."His words, his proximity, and the way he breathes in this dark room all give me a euphoric feeling. Just t

I read the message, hands trembling. It's obvious that Ivy did not send it."How are you doing ? What's off ?”I show him the screen of my phone, and he looks at the message with a narrowed eyes. He inhales deeply and exhales again, his brow furrowing in contemplation."I'll give it to Trevor. He might be able to identify the phone number that sent it."Trevor replies via text saying the number is a burner phone. He is unable to determine the sender."Riley, I'm afraid. Someone really wants me dead. Did all your ex-partners experience this ?""No, they didn't.”"However, it's clear that this person knows you. I don’t want to end in coma as your exes." "Never fear ! As long as I'm here, nothing bad will happen to you."Unexpectedly, my phone starts to buzz once more, alerting me to an unknown call."Put it on speaker !"• Phone call«Hi there ! Linda ?"I swallow hard to ensure it doesn't happen again as my

Chapter 10: RevengeThe following day, I get to the mall close to Ivy's designated meeting spot in advance before the scheduled hour. While I wait for Riley to arrive, I pass the time in my favorite fashion house store."There you are, my beauties."I am in awe of Girlies' most recent collection's exquisite, crisp, and fitted black suit. It's been on my want list for a long."It seems like the perfect wedding gift to myself."I take out the new credit card Riley handed me, prepared to buy anything I want."I don’t think we’d have anything in here you’d like."When I turn over, I see an old woman looking at a gorgeous red dress decorated by some extravagant weathers that a plastic model was wearing. She is dressed modestly but stylishly. Something about her, whether her smile or her gentle gaze, makes me think of Riley."You'll undoubtedly discover something more to your style at

For the last twelve hours, you have been unconscious.""All right. Riley, was in the parking lot...""Riley ?""He is. He's my spouse. We recently tied the knot. I must find out how he is doing.""I'll see what I can do about it. Simply remain where you are, though."It appears that I have several scratches and bruises in addition to my excruciating headache, but nothing seems broken.By the time she comes back, I've come to terms with the reality that I don't have any splints, casts, or snitches anywhere."Here, I can take you see him right now."She places a wheel chair next to my bed and assists me in getting in before shoving me down the hall to another room.Riley is lying in a bed with his eyes closed, h
