Matilda placed her hand on his chest and tried to push him away, his grip was stronger.She could taste him, he tasted like mint. He kissed her so gently, allowing his tongue to move swiftly in her mouth. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to enjoy it.The feeling did not last long as Jaden pulled away from her, fastened his seat belt and put on the ignition.Matilda touched her lips and looked at Jaden, he was acting like nothing happened. She felt like she was being taken advantage of.“Sir why…why did you do that?"Jaden was focused on the road ahead of him, he acted like Matilda was not there. Her words fell on deaf ears.“I already told you there were some things we needed to practise, so stop making a fuss about the situation”.Jaden changed the gear as he spoke, with his gaze still fixed on the road.Matilda hugged herself, as she looked out the window. The last thing she wanted to look at now was Jaden's face.Jaden swerved and put the car to rest, which made Matilda's ga
“Look dad, she is my girlfriend and I love her”.Matilda looked at Jaden in bewilderment, her eyes almost popping out of the socket from hearing Jaden's words.She has never been in a romantic relationship before, no one has ever asked her out even in high school or college. So, hearing Jaden say he loved her, gave her butterflies in her stomach even if she knew it was all fake.“You love this woman? Your secretary?”“Yes dad, I do”.Jaden's next action was something no one would have predicted. He went over to where Matilda was, and held her hands.It felt like cold shivers ran down her spine, as she felt his hands envelope hers. He dragged her close to his body, to assure his father that they were a real thing.Jaden put on a fake smile, and nudged Matilda. He spoke through gritted teeth while smiling.“Smile Matilda, smile”.Matilda immediately wore her “this is my best smile” type of smile. She wished there was a mirror around, to see how she looked right now, with the fake smile
“Did you just slap me?”Jaden placed his hands on his face, his eyes blazing with fire. His voice sounded like thunder.Matilda's lips trembled, she could not believe what she just did. Her hands were shaking.“Sir..sir I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. It's just that, you can't just kiss me whenever you want to”.Jaden grabbed her by her arms again, his hands were almost penetrating her skin. Matilda winced in pain, a tear escaped her eyes.“I can kiss you and touch you whenever I like, the contract never said otherwise. Now clean those tears and get into the car. Am I clear?”His voice bellowed in the dark, the light of the night penetrating his eyes which made them glow.Matilda could not speak, she cried silently. Jaden let go off her arm, and went into the car. The tears gathering up in her eyes, made her vision blur. She struggled to get to the car, and as she was walking, she accidentally stepped on her dress and it got torn.She got into the car and Jaden did not bot
“How dare you talk back to me? I ordered you to change my coffee and you're questioning me!”Tiana raised her hands in an attempt to slap Matilda, Jaden came in and held her hands.She tried to free herself, but Jaden's grip did not allow her to.“Look Tiana, this is an official business meeting. You will respect yourself or leave this place, now!”.Jaden's words felt like a spear, piercing through Tiana's heart. She could not believe he would speak to her in such a manner, in the presence of everyone seated.“This is uncalled for, such an act of insolence!”A board member made this remark, and Tiana glanced at the member terribly.“No one asked for your opinion here Mr, just mind your business and shut your…”Jaden immediately took Tiana's hand and dragged her out of the room.“What has come over you Tiana? What disrespectful stunt did you just pull there?”Jaden's eyes looked like it was shooting out lasers, his eyebrows arched and his jaw twitching as he spoke.Tiana rolled her eye
Matilda was retreating backwards, she hit her feet against a recycle bin and fell on her back. She held out her hands.“Don't come near me, stay away from me!”The man with the dirty clothes, bushy hair and marks all over his body began to approach Matilda slowly.“No miss, I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted to…I wanted to ask if you could give me anything to eat”.The old man demonstrated putting food in his mouth, with a sad face. He looked so lean and tired.Matilda got up and cleaned her body, she looked at the old man and felt pity for him.“I'm so sorry sir, I shouldn't have lashed out that way. I'm sorry”.“It's fine, miss, I understand”.Matilda smiled at the man and he returned the smile, his golden yellow teeth were visible this time around.“Let's go to the convenience store over there, sir”.Matilda led the way and the old man followed behind her.*******************Jaden wore his jogger, put on his slides and took his car key. He ran down the stairs, and at the sam
Tom poked Tiana's side as he laughed very hard.“Your facial expression says it all, you like that, huh?”Tiana's face was still red from what she saw on his phone, she tossed the phone back to him and sipped out of her drink.“How did you even know it was a woman I wanted to deal with?“I can see through women”Tiana rolled her eyes at him and scoffed.“Oh please, shut up”.“So, do you want that? I'm a very busy man, so make your decision quickly".Tiana laughed at him mockingly, she glanced at him in a terrible way.“You mean busy drinking? Oh please, spare me the joke. I'll think about it and get back to you”.Tom shrugged and took another drag from his cigar, he leaned in and tried to kiss Tiana this time.“Behave yourself Tom, can't you see we're in public?”Tiana pushed him in his chest, and he slumped in his chair and laughed again.“Don't you miss me, princess?”Tom said mockingly in Tiana's father's voice.“How dare you?”Tiana smacked him on his hand, but he held her hands t
Matilda's gaze moved to Jaden, from her dress to his face. She could not believe what she just heard, Jaden declared her his girlfriend publicly.He held her hands and made her come in front of him, to greet the manager. She shook hands with him and put on her fake smile.Matilda was not very comfortable with the dress, so she kept dragging it up to cover her cleavage. Jaden noticed and beaconed on the staff to take Matilda back to the changing room.Jaden dismissed the manager and went back to sit. For some weird reason, he looked forward to seeing Matilda in other beautiful dresses. He admitted in his heart, that she was stunning.Matilda came out in another dress, this one was exposing her thigh and she kept crossing her legs to cover them. Jaden swallowed as he kept looking at her from her head to her toe, he liked the dress and told the staff to pick that one too.The testing of dresses continued for close to an hour and Matilda already tried over 30 dresses.She was exhausted w
Tom took another drag of his cigar as he stood up from his bed and faced Tiana. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Tiana hesitated a little, she was a little bit scared of what she was about to do. But she pushed it at the back of her mind, as she was determined. “Yes, I am. I am ready”. Tom nodded his head and smiled at Tiana, he offered her a cigar but she threw it on the floor and rolled her eyes at him. “Now, all we need is a plan Tiana. First off, I'll look for a competent guy that can…” Tiana cut him off as she put her hands on her ear in a dramatic manner, like she could not hear him. “You said what? What dude? You are the one that is going to do this for me, I don't want anyone else!”. Tiana stomped her feet on the ground and stared at Tom with her wild eyes. “I can't Tiana, I've been to jail before I don't ever want to go back there. What if I get caught at the end?” Tom turned his back on Tiana, he ran his hands through his hair as the memories of him being in pris
