Henry had always believed kisses were boring. They were just a means to get to the good part, the part where both people involved in the act where they would fuck like rabbits in heat. But now, as Zoe’s soft lips were set on his, it felt better than any sex he had ever had. Her lips tasted rich, dipped with mint. She tasted like everything that could describe sin. And she was passionate about it. Grabbing the back of her head, he pushed his tongue into her. He sucked on her tongue as she pushed her breasts into his chest while his other arm wrapped itself around her waist. The chiseled feeling of his muscular arms sent a shiver down her spine. Her shirt was getting bundled up as the passion grew. There was not enough oxygen in their lungs. But they did not care. They were far too gone to give a shit. They were too drunk. Too happy. Too lost in the euphoric feeling. Passion burned, their breaths mingled and lust flared as they both tumbled down to the bed. Warmth and darkness engul

Henry seemed to be in a lot of work meeting as the weeks passed. Zoe barely saw him at the company anymore. Either that or he was avoiding her. No matter how she thought about it, there was no plausible reason as to why he would avoid her. Was he backing out on the contract now that he got what he wanted? Zoe did not know why she felt bad about that. She would run into Daniel in the hallways most times but did not have the guts to ask him where the hell Henry was. She did not want him to think she cared. Zoe was doodling on a piece of paper absentmindedly one work afternoon when Sparrow walked up to her. "You look like you just got broken up with," Sparrow said. "What is with the long face?""Nothing. I am just tired." Zoe tried to force out a smile but failed. "What are you doing after work? I know this amazing place where we could have dinner." "Just the two of us?" Sparrow nodded with a smile. "Just the two of us." "I’m in." Zoe continued with her doodling. "Hey, can I ask

"Let us get you some medicines. You do not look too good." Emily tried to shove Zoe out of her bed but she did not budge. "It is just a fever. I will be better when I wake up," Zoe replied. "You said that yesterday. And the day after that. You might just drop dead at this point." Zoe hated medicines more than anything else in the world, that was why she always avoided getting sick. Her sickness started the night she saw Henry at that restaurant. It felt weird that she got sick immediately after seeing him. Looked like she was allergic to his bullshit. "Fine. I will take the medicines," Zoe finally agreed. "I need to feel better for work tomorrow anyway." "Now that is the spirit!" Emily cheered. "Get your ass up. I will drive you to the pharmacy."Emily succeeded in dragging Zoe out of the bed this time. She grabbed her car keys and started the car, zooming out of their neighborhood in a hurry to get to the hospital. "Slow down," Zoe complained. "I am getting nauseous again." "W

Emily went to Magatech to check on Zoe on her day off. She had been protective of Zoe since news of the pregnancy came to light, making sure she did not overwork herself. Emily had advised her to quit the job at Magatech but Zoe did not think it was a good idea. Henry would get suspicious if she suddenly quit like that. She waited for Zoe in the first floor, looking around for a better view of the place. "Do you need something?" she heard a voice behind her and turned around. It was Daniel. He looked like he had just got off from work. "You can ask a worker for directions if there is someone you need to see.""I am actually here to pick up Zoe. Do not mind me."Daniel hummed. "I am sure she is fine on her own. Unless there is something wrong.""Everything is fine," Emily blurted out quickly. "I am just looking out for her. That is how we look out for ourselves." He nodded at that. "What is your name? I keep running into you." "Emily! You are here," They both turn their heads at Zo

"She left?! What do you mean she left?!" Henry’s voice boomed across the room. Daniel had expected that reaction from him, so he was the least surprised. "That is what her friend told me." So Zoe finally succeeded in running away from him? How stupid had he been to not see what she was plotting all along? She outsmarted him. "When did she leave? Where did she go?" Henry questioned."She left about almost a week now," Daniel replied. "Emily would not tell me where she went." "Who the fuck is Emily?" "Her friend."Henry rubbed at his forehead, still trying to process all that information. He had made a big mistake trusting that she would not run away again. It felt like a slap to his face. A huge blow. "She also said something you might want to hear," Daniel continued. "Well, spit it out! I do not have all the patience in the world!" "Emily mentioned that Zoe leaving the country had something to do with you." Henry thought about it deeply. Had he really been frustrating her so
