*Kiara*
I wrapped in Alexander's powerful embrace as we both stayed silent and watched the white ceiling above. Aiden has been with Amelia immediately after he exchanged greetings with his dad and I just explained everything that Amelia told me to him.
“I don't know what to do, Alexander. For some reason, I'm getting scared,” I mumbled out, with my voice throbbing with emotions.
“You don't have to be scared, Kiara” Alexander coaxed, holding my hand in his, “I wouldn't be scared if I had not lost track of that spy” I blurted out my fear, followed by a heavy sigh.
“I understand your fear, Kiara, but you have me by your side. I can't afford to lose you for the second time. Trust me, Nicholas would be captured soon” he said in a reassuring voice, sitting up in the bed, and I did the same. He held my both hands this time and caressed the back of my palm with his thumb while staring into my eyes deeply, his eyes darkened to the deepest shade of jade.
“My life isn't as great when it comes to you, my son, and my family” he continued, the sincerity written boldly across his face couldn't go unnoticed by a blind person. “You just have to trust me on this, Kiara, no harm would come to you and the rest, believe me” his words inexplicably soothe my mind and I released a sigh of relief.
I nodded in affirmative, and he snuggled me into his chest directly. I smiled in contentment in his broad chest but soon recalled another thing and my smile faded for a second, “One more thing, Alexander” I spoke up, taking out of his embrace. He raised his brows, hinting at me to say it, “It's about my boutique, Alexander, or should I say Henry's boutique?” I tested, licking my bottom lip, and then proceeded again,
“With the way I ended the relationship between Henry and me, do you think I can still go to the boutique as the righteous possessor?” I interrogated. Alexander puffed out a breath and looked away from my face, “Will you be convenient if you continue working there?” he questioned without looking at my face. “Of course, yes, it has always been my dream” I responded keenly,
“What if I asked you not to go back there?” he asked in a deep-voiced and his eyes dazed. “I won't go, but what if I'm just overthinking, Alexander? I wish to go there tomorrow and if he hasn't shut down the place, then I'll call him over the phone and confirm things from him” I said persuasively, in an attempt to win his favor. He stared at my face for some time and then spoke up finally, “Is that what you want?” I nodded curtly, “Let's just give it a try, Henry tends to squander a lot, he might just abandon the place” I put in again and Alexander nodded in agreement, “Thank you,” I muttered, slipping into his chest again, but was more affectionate this time.
I sent my hand to his manhood area and gently pass through it, which emanated a deep groan from his mouth, “You're not ready for this, are you?” the hot air exhaled when he spoke was sprayed densely and this made me feel slightly itchy.
“I've been always ready since the first day I set my eyes on you again,” I spelled every word clearly, the tip of my tongue playing with his earlobe and biting it. By this time, he had already put his hands under my transparent lingerie and toying with one of my nipples,
“How about, Aiden?” he further asked, burying his head in my neck, and nuzzling on it, “The door is bolted,” I managed to moan out, and it was just as if that were what he wanted to hear because his next movement was reflex. His arms propped on my sides and leaned into my body, pressing close to my body. He greedily kissed my hair, and neck earlobes and gradually dipped his head onto my chest then slowly to the space between my breasts. The heat of his breath shattered me into a million pieces, making me feel numb and itchy at the same time.
The joy that I tried so hard to tame filled my soul as I wrapped my hands around his neck and took his lips for a long kiss. While at it, he fitted my legs on the eight sides of his thighs. He broke off the kiss and his tongue teased and licked my nipple, I squirmed and gripped hard to the bedsheet. I heard the sound of his shorts being pulled down and my excitement grew.
Again, he pressed kisses down the delicate line of my neck, pressing a kiss to the upper slopes of my breasts. I hummed out, wanting to feel his hardness already, and my breathing grew when a shaft of hot arousal went straight through my body. My hands flew to his neck, holding him close to me, drowning in a sea of more pleasure than I could ever imagine existed.
Moments later, we both sank with a whoosh, but Alexander immediately flipped me to lay on him instead as we both catches our breaths. I was too overwhelmed to say anything, so I just pressed kisses on his wet face instead.
“Kiara?” he called quietly while he removed some tendrils of my hair from my face, “Yes, honey,” I responded with sweetness and I could hear him giggle softly, “When was the last time you did this and with whom?” he asked curiously, but a trace of panic was hidden in his voice. “With you, and the last time was the day we went to the vivarium” I answered, and I waited for his next words for several seconds, but he wasn't saying anything, “Are you asleep?” I tapped his cheeks lightly, “No,”
“Then why are you quiet?” I asked, and I heard him sigh, “It's just unbelievable. Henry didn't make an attempt to touch you at all?” he quizzed, obviously surprised. I sank back on the bed, already pissed off at his remark. “What happened?” he questioned, touching my face, but I deflected his hand with my palm. “Tell me, Kiara. Have I said something wrong?”
My eyes gradually filled with tears, “You don't believe me, do you? Do you know what? I respect Henry very much because he's a responsible man, he respected my decision when I had told him I wasn't ready, and I just told you the truth, but you don't believe me, just because I used to be a slut, isn't it?”
This time, he succeeded in pulling me into his chest, “I'm so sorry, Kiara, I'm sorry” he whispered, rubbing my hair. I only sniffed, wiping out the tears away from my cheeks.
The following day,
I entered the grand and classy boutique and was welcomed by the staffs who seemed to be very pleased to see me again. I proceeded into my office and was glad everywhere look so neat and tidy as if I were here yesterday. Feeling elated, I quickly placed a call through Henry.
The phone rang and rang, then stopped ringing. I redialed his number and he picked up at the first ring, “Hello, Henry” I spoke up first, amounting my steps to my seat, “Hi, Kiara. How are you doing?” he asked in his calm and gentle tone, “I'm good. I hope you are good too?” I asked him while sitting down.
“Yes, at least I didn't commit suicide after you left me, I'm alive” he expressed profoundly, and his words somehow stung my heart. I remained in silence and couldn't think of my next words. Have I done something bad?
“Hello, are you there?” hearing his voice jolted me out of my thought. I smiled and spoke up uneasily, “Hmm… I actually want to ask you something, Henry” I begin again, rubbing the space between my eyebrows. “What's it about? Do you want to come over, or you, are you just going to say it now?” I thought about it carefully and let out, “I'll come to your office now,”
In his office,
The wall behind the front desk had a gold background and was in laid with bold and powerful words, 'Torres Group' it looked magnificent and stood out to people's eyes like a dragon's nest, making people afraid to underestimate it.
The corner of his lips raised slightly as he swiveled on his seat. I lowered my head in embarrassment, and began to toy with my fingers out of nervousness.
“So, what's up?”
I released a deep breath and slowly raised my head to look at his face, “It's about the boutique, Henry” I stated, and his brows knitted in a line, “Should I remain the CEO or back off?” I asked openly, not willing to beat around the bush. He burst into contagious laughter but stopped almost immediately, “What do you mean, Kiara?”
“The boutique is yours forever, and I would never think of going back on my words, trust me” he assured, and my lips lifted in a wide grin immediately, “Thank you so much, Henry. This means a lot, and I would forever be grateful to you,” I expressed with a big sense of gratitude.
“Come on now, Kiara, even Alexander could do better, isn't it?”
My smile faded for a second as I stared at his face, which was lacking any warmth. I can't just help but think he has some scheme under his sleeves.
“I know very well that what I did to you doesn't worth your forgiveness, Henry, and you might not want to forgive me” I uttered word by word, feeling a big mess in my heart.
I stood up and pressed my palms jointly, “But I hope you eventually forgive me. Thank you so much for everything once again,” I concluded and with a broad smile on my face, I spun around and dash to the door but as soon as I grabbed it, I turned to look at him, “You'll fall in love soon, trust me” I said with a broad wink and paced out directly.
Arriving back at the front of the boutique, I got down from the car and the driver drove away immediately, probably to park the car properly. However, a car suddenly rolled to a stop in the same spot my car was parking earlier. I frowned and made to put forward a step, but the car window slowly wound down and revealed my nightmare. My eyes widened in terror and shock as I stared at him with my heart heaving up and down. He looked dishevel and a bit rough as he continued to sneer relentlessly.
“Hello,” he mouthed, staring at me with pure lust filled eyes, and before I could charge towards his car, he sped into the road.
“Help!” I screeched, and thank goodness a cab arrived at that moment.
As I was about to bend and get inside the cab when my driver appeared and asked, “What happened, ma'am? I heard your voice now” he said worriedly.
“Get back into the car and follow that red car now” I ordered coldly and then got into the car, without waiting for his response, “Please follow that red car,” I instructed the cabbie man and then fetched my cell from my clutch and phoned Alexander.
“Hey, babe. What's up?” his enthusiastic voice spoke up before me, I gulped down first, “Nicholas, I'm chasing after Nicholas now. I think he knows I work here, Alexander” I rattled out, watching how he kept turning and turning into niches.
“You need to calm down, Kiara. What do you mean you're chasing Nicholas?”
“You know what? Alexander. Call Amelia and tell her to bring Aiden from school, then you should start coming here with the police. This is the end of, Nicholas, I promise," I enacted through gnashing teeth and disconnected the call immediately.
