It was very late when I reached back to the hotel, where we were staying. It is one of the finest hotels in Seattle and the suite that we were staying in, was located on the topmost floor, so we had a good view of the city.
My brother was very furious that I ran off from the office without informing him. Scarlett was with me, so I gestured for her to explain and ran off to my room as I knew I would be lectured again. But he was still shouting behind me.
My brother is four years older than me and is very possessive about me, mainly because I cannot speak. I had that problem since I was a child. And now I am used to it.But he gets worried when I go off without informing him, as he thinks something bad might happen to me and I don’t blame him because we lost our parents when we were very young and we just had each other.I sighed heavily and slumped on the bed, as I was very tired and tried to relax, but I couldn’t because as soon as I closed my eyes, I started thinking about how Hudson had kissed me back then in the conference room, it was as if he was punishing me.He hasn’t changed much. In fact, he has become more handsome. His boyish features have developed into quite a sturdy man. He has warm brown eyes and black hair, which always intrigued me. His presence near me always disturbed me. And today I realized how I had longed for him to kiss me.I opened my eyes as I did not want to go back into that world right now, as I have to finish up the project no matter what and Hudson was a big distraction.I need to talk to my brother about his involvement in the project, as I might not be comfortable working with him and today’s kiss had proven that he knew I still wanted him.I got up and walked to the washroom to freshen up.After I was done cleaning up and wearing my pajamas, I walked out and saw my brother sitting and watching the news.I slowly walked towards him and snuggled beside him.He moved his arm comfortingly and took me in his arms.“Kiddo, one of these days I will wriggle your neck. You know how worried I get when I do not know your wear about. And you do not see your texts as well. Why do you want to get into unnecessary trouble.” Jayden said a little angrily.I got up and took out my phone from my pocket and saw many messages from him. I looked at him guiltily and sent him a text." I am sorry Jayden but I had to rush to meet the clients.”
Jayden shook his head as if he did not believe me at all and then I typed again.
“I need to ask you a favor.”
“Yeah tell me what is it kiddo? Apart from telling me to go out and get your favorite ice cream, as I don’t want to go anywhere, I am really tired.” Jayden said yawning away.
I looked at him nervously then typed.
“Jayden can you allow me to handle the layout for the project when it starts, by myself, as I don’t want to work with Hudson Ford.”
“What! Why?” My bother exclaimed loudly. Looking at me with a confused expression.
I know I have to tell him, so I texted in three simple words.
“Sweden, Graduation party.”
He read it and after a while the realization hit him and he chuckled softly and said. “You mean he is that guy, but Kiddo I can't keep him away from the project, you know why I have chosen him right, he is dedicated and hardworking and he is the right one to take over, our parent's dream project. I understand you have a history with him and I promise I will try to keep him away from you. We need to start the project soon as he knows in and out of it. And besides he one of the top most business man here, so we need his help.”
My brother sounded so helpless. He is the richest man in Budapest but when it comes to his birth country he seems to lack confidence and I can understand why?I nodded my head as I knew, we need to think rationally and after the project ends we will fly back to Budapest and Hudson will become history.
“Callie darling,” Jayden said lovingly. “Are you ready to go and visit our ancestral home?”
Thinking of it brought back many happy and sad memories but I wanted to visit my childhood home, so I texted him confirming that I was willing to go.He hugged me tightly and I felt so secure. If it had not been for Jayden’s love and care I would have died a long time back. But now I am a confident woman and can do anything I want. I have reached the heights of glory at an early age and it was all because of hard work and dedication.
I know mom and dad are always watching us and they must be very happy that Jayden and I bond so well and we have such beautiful memories of our parents, so we have learned to be happy as the things are.
My brother got up after we had dinner and excusing himself went to the room, while I walked into my room and sat near the balcony observing the City outside.
Hudson Ford's POV
Hudson finished having his dinner and sat down in the library to read the report sent by his secretary.
As he went through it, it was a dead-end, as nothing much could be searched about her.He got up and got his phone from the table and typed a message and sent it.
Then he took out a cigarette and started smoking.
Callie’s POV I was watching “The Simpsons” on N*****x and was so engrossed in it that I did not see that my phone was blinking and after an hour or so when I felt sleepy I went and snuggled under the quilt and checked my phone. I saw a new text from an unknown number. I was curious and I opened the inbox and saw that it was sent by none other than Hudson Ford. “Why are you ignoring me, Ivy? I want to meet you tomorrow; you better decide a time and venue and message me. And no, I will not hear no for an answer as we really need to talk if we must work together as a team.” Hudson had written. I read it twice and did not know what to say but I couldn’t meet him alone, as after today’s confrontation I knew I don’t have any control over my feelings whenever he’s around and I behave like a love-sick teenager. I thought for a while and decided to text him in the morning and keeping my phone aside I closed my eyes but sleep was far away, it was not coming any nearer and I tossed and turned
Harry Williams walked with quick strides and within seconds, we reached the campus dispensary where he laid me down on the bed as per doctors’ instruction and went out while the doctor checked on me. I looked at his back as he went out of the room, as I was very nervous. But when the doctor was examining me he touched my knee and I simply screamed with pain. “What happened doc?” Harry Williams came inside and asked the doctor with concern. “Oh, nothing young man, she has a slight muscle tear, so when I touched it must have been painful for her to bear. So, that’s why.” The doctor smiled, while he looked at me and spoke. “your girlfriend screamed out of her senses. I looked at the doctor helplessly, gesturing to him that I was not his girlfriend. “Is there anything serious doc?” Harry asked when he saw the painful expression on my face. “Nothing much to worry about, I am giving her some medicine, she will be fine by tomorrow and the pain will subside but she needs to come for phys
“Her bruises are looking better today but when my assistant touched her leg while doing her physiotherapy, I could see that she had a slight pain. Give it some time it will heal young man. You need to take care of your girlfriend, as she cannot give pressure on her leg. ” Dr. Jonas was instructing Harry, as If he was my boyfriend.I really needed to clear that or it would spread around the university. I finished with my physiotherapy and walked inside smiling at them.Harry looked at me and frowned and said. “Don’t worry doc, I will take care of her and bring her to your clinic every day, till she recovers. Thank you for your time. We should be leaving.” He turned towards me and held my hand.I gulped my saliva nervously and wrote on the pad that I was carrying and showed it to Harry.“I want to talk to the doctor about something important can you give me just five minutes.”He looked at me
Frozen at the spot I watched him disappear. What exactly did happen? Did Harry Williams just kiss me or Was I just hallucinating? I sighed deeply and prepared the coffee to check my senses, as my heart was hammering against my chest because of his kisses.I had been a silent observer of Harry Williams, since the time he had come to do his masters last year and this year being my last year of college, we had shifted to the senior block, where I get to see him every day, as our classes are on the same floor.I shook myself and after preparing the coffee, I limped and sat down on the sofa comfortably and relaxed.I tried to enjoy the brew and distracted myself from all the emotional turmoil that was going on in my mind. But basically I was just punishing myself with a strong cup of coffee, which was getting on my nerves and I choked.Just then Scarlett entered the flat and was horrified to find me choking and immediately grabbed a c
I was speechless and just smiled at him nervously.He started the car and we drove to the clinic.After I was done with my physiotherapy the doctor gave me a thumbs up and said I can go for my classes but I should not dance around as I have just recovered.We thanked the doctor and I don't know for some reason he held my arm in a firm grip, while we walked towards his car.I knew it would be futile to fight with him as he was looking very determined.He made me sit inside the car and started driving but after a while, I noticed that we were near the university gate.I looked at him for answers but he was ignoring me.I grabbed his arm and shook him violently, urging him to drive me back to my apartment.“Can you chill for some time; I am just taking you for late lunch, as I was feeling hungry but I am very disappointed in you. You are so ungrateful; you don’t want to accompany for a simple lunc
We were driving back to the university both of us engrossed in our world. I was too shy and scared to be all alone with him but he was so dominating that I couldn't refuse him. I watched him very closely while he was driving. His hand on the steering wheel. He was focused on his driving so I got plenty of time to observe him. He was a very good-looking man his figure-hugging t-shirt showed off his excellent figure and his whole body exuded unattainability. All of a sudden the car jerked and I observed that we had reached my apartment. I was about to get down but one hand caught me and pulled me towards him holding me prisoner. He was looking at me intensely. “Kiss your boyfriend goodnight.” He whispered. I looked at him with confusion and his forceful lips landed on mine and kissed me ruthlessly. He took my face into his hands and looking into my eyes for a second he closed his lips over mine. Nobody had ever kissed me like that before, nobody but him. I was so weak that I coul
“ I am sorry for all that happened but I never thought she would do something like that. I had gone out with her a few times with my other friends but I never gave her the impression that I was interested in her.” He said sincerely.I was thinking whether I should believe him, as I did not trust him at all didn’t he tell me that he wanted me to be his girlfriend just for namesake. I was confused so I just lowered my head without looking at him.He lifted my chin and I was staring at his beautiful brown eyes and it was telling me a different story altogether.He was smiling but I better not let my hopes get too high.Just then Scarlett coughed a little, making us aware that she was there too.I looked at her and pleaded with my eyes to help me handle him.Scarlett looked at me helplessly but she gathered her courage and finally said. “Harry, it's getting late we should rush back to the university.
I gazed up at him with my dizzy eyes, my eyes fluttering a little. Harry moved closer and wrapped his one hand around me and with the other, he brushed the strands of my hair away from my face. I was looking at him dreamily. “Ivy, you have no idea what you do to me…” He whispered seductively. I felt the tiny hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention. Was I dreaming or Harry Williams has admitted that he likes me? I closed my eyes, slightly parting my lips and I leaned closer. He began trailing kisses from my ear lobe towards my neck. “I want you so bad Ivy.” He whispered in between kisses. I gave him more access to my neck, as I enjoyed the pleasure he was giving me. Harry was kissing me lingering on my neck and his hands moved down over my right breast. My nipples were erect and it could be seen through the fabric, so he slowly caressed my nipples with his thumb and I moaned with pleasure. “Do you want me to?” He asked seductively. I was floating in the clouds. I could feel m
