Brad

I can't believe this is the same quirky April Jackson I saw at my study days ago. Gone are the ridiculous Jeans and T-shirts. She was wearing a sexy black dress that caresses her body like a second skin, bringing out beautiful curves I didn't notice before.

I nearly stumbled when my gaze fell on her sexy long legs, and her wild curly hair added a fierce appeal. She looks like sin. I had to support my weight by pressing my palm to the wall, lest I trip and fall.

"Mr. Smith you are back," she said snapping me out of my daze.

"Mr. Smith, are you ok? you look pale" she asked. I clenched my fist, my eyes darkens as I took a step towards her, I cornered her to the wall.

Ever since I met her I feel like I am losing control, from her pushing my buttons, getting under my skin, and now to this. She is going to be trouble!

I gaze at her with lust. Her eyes flickered open. For the first time, I noticed she has beautiful grey eyes.

My gaze fell on her plump lips, painted with red seductive lipstick. She bit her lips stirring up a strong urge to brush my lips on hers, devouring her lips with the craving desire surging up in me.

Living with Mr Cocky

Two months have withered away since I let him go. Saying goodbye has been death by thousand cuts and the memories of him keeps me tossing and turning in bed until sunrise breaks free from dusk.

My wounds hurt subtle now, but it aches every time the flashbacks slide in commemorating how empty and hollow my heart feels because I miss him.

My love for him is not unrequited as I thought it was reciprocal all along. The knowledge of his love for me makes my heart hurt less sometimes than it use to when I thought he didn't love me.

I have been coping by losing myself in work and taking unnecessary business trips when I can just fly my investors and business partners over for business negotiations but I choose to fly out of the country just to keep a safe distance from Brad.

It's been tough trying hard not to see him. With Kayden in the equation seeing him is unavoidable.

We came clean and told Kayden we faked our engagement to make Lady Blanca happy.
