I let out the breath I didn't know I'd been holding, as I watched their limousine drive off. The past few weeks had taken its toll on me.I'd been afraid to even breathe normally, for fear that Zayn's parents might catch on to the lie.After days of wining and dining with Humairah, they were finally leaving. They'd gotten an emergency call earlier this morning, and had made preparations for a last minute flight. Mental note to self- Make lots of money to buy a private jet in your next life.At the present, I tried to ignore the throbbing in my core, as Zayn brushed past me. We hadn't seen much of each other for the past few days.“You look tired.” I said after some hesitation. I didn't know why I said that. Why the tired look on his face bothered me.Maybe I was slowly turning into a masochist. That explained why I was concerned about my own abductor.A brief look of surprise crossed his face, as he turned to look at me. My heart stopped beating for a moment. He was wearing his signa

The change was so abrupt that my brain struggled to catch up. Heat pooled between my legs, and I couldn't help but shudder at his intense gaze at me.I hugged myself, and made to get out of the tub. Coming here was a mistake.Or was it? “I'll be in my room.” I managed to whisper, despite my messy mind.I barely made it out, before his gruff voice stopped me. “Did I say you could leave?” His voice was husky, but betraying no emotions.My heart raced furiously, and I slowly turned to face him. His eyes were dark and piercing that my legs almost gave way. I struggled to find the perfect response. We'd been kissing, and he pushed me away. Did he expect me to stay?The thought had barely formed, when a bittersweet taste filled my mouth. I'd kissed my abductor. My enemy. And I let him-“I thought you wanted me to.” I finally said, when he continued staring at me without a word.He curved his index finger, and gestured at me. “Come here.” He said.My legs didn't move. I wanted to get away

As we drove home from the hospital, Kacie was quiet, lost in thought. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through her mind. Was she relieved that she wasn't pregnant, or was she disappointed? The thought hung thick on my chest.I reached out and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze."Hey, are you okay?" I asked, trying to sound casual.She turned to me with a small smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired, I guess."I nodded, feeling a bit frustrated. I wanted to know what was really going on in her head, but I didn't want to push her too hard.When we got home, Kacie went straight to bed, saying she needed to rest. I watched her go.I followed her to our bedroom and stared on as she tucked herself under the bed without as much as bidding me goodnight.Now that's weird. Since after we continued our relationship, Kacie will never go to bed without whispering sweet nothing into my eyes and vice versa.I brushed whatever thoughts creeping into my mind and slip into the bathro

“What a great night to die,” I mumbled, taking a hearty gulp of my drink. My legs wobbled as tipsiness kicked in. Just one jump…Just one jump and all my problems would be over. My phone buzzed at that moment. Cursing at the fact that I hadn't left it at home, I brought it out of my coat pocket. My blood ran cold as I stared at the caller ID. With shaky hands, I received the call.“My gold mine,” Nathan's lazy drawl filled my ears.“You sonofabitch!” I rasped, almost stumbling. Little stones rolled over and fell down the cliff. “Oh, you don't have to take out your anger on me, darling.” His mocking laughter irked me, and I longed to scratch at his face with my nails. “You tricked me.” I swallowed hard, my chest heaving. “No, no, I didn't, darling Iris. You were merely excited at the prospect of getting married to me that you didn't realize what was happening. Why blame me for your foolishness?” He sneered.I almost choked on my words. “I loved you, Nathan. I gave you my all, and

Kacie and I are officially back.Taking everything slow, all we do is: eat. Sleep and have sex.Nice way to spend time with my woman.“Hey what are you up to?” her sweet angelic voice asked as she hugged me from behind.After we've settled our differences I forced her to pack her things to my room.She refused at first but I finally succeeded in convincing her.“Just taking care of some office affairs. Go back to sleep, I will join you briefly.” I turned my head and kissed her.“I'm not feeling sleepy. I slept all through the morning remember.” she pulled over and sat beside me dragging the laptop from my front.She peered at the screen and gave me a 'I don't understand you' look.“You want to buy diamond finance bank?” (DFB)“Yes pumpkin. I intend on buying it.”“But, considering the fact that it's a kind of heritage bank. Won't it be hard and tough?”“Don't worry. I will scale through.” I reassured her.“Will you need my help?” she asked in a worried tone.“Time will tell. For now,
