His Beautiful Addiction

The room fell quiet instantly and the secretary felt like digging up his own grave and falling into it. It was better Douglas screamed at him because his silence was more frightening.

The silence lasted over a few minutes before Douglas finally spoke;

\'\'Hmm, I see. He leaves me with no choice then. \'\' He relaxed on his chair and picked up a pen from the table, staring at it as though there was something fanciful on it.

The man standing in front of his creased his brows in surprise,

What was he planning this time?

\'\'You may leave. \'\'

He said casually and his secretary bowed a little before walking out of his office.

After the door was shut, Douglas picked up his phone and dialed a number.

It rang for a few minutes before the person at the other end picked up;

\'\'Yes, you can send the men over now. \'\'

…

\'\'Tiana, you came quiet early; I just came back from work now. \'\'

Gwen exclaimed with a smile as she hugged her. Her eyes scanned outside briefly and when they fell on the black Mercedes with two guards standing beside it, she turned to Tiana with a smile,

\'\'These men are with you today, too? \'\'

Tiana chuckled as she looked outside to see the men she was talking about;

\'\'Yeah, Nicklaus asked that they escort me; he didn\'t want me to come alone. \'\'

She blushed as she responded.

\'\'Wait a minute, Nicklaus? The Nicklaus we know? \'\'

Gwen asked, her eyes lit up in surprise;

\'\'Yeah, to be sincere, he has really changed these past few weeks, he\'s been so caring to a fault, I think he… he likes me. \'\'

Gwen laughed and pulled Tiana down so they could sit on the couch;

\'\'You don\'t mean it? \'\'

She asked, her eyes wide open;

\'\'yes, I think he really likes me. \'\'

\'\'This is interesting, so tell me, do you love him? \'\'

Gwen asked, raising her eyelids excitedly;

Tiana\'s eyes fluttered; and a blush crept up her cheeks.

\'\'Gwen! I don\'t know, don\'t ask me that!\'\'

Gwen burst out laughing; she shook her head at her sister;

\'\'it\'s too obvious Tiana, you\'re falling for him. From a monster to a lover, wow! Interesting!\'\'

She grinned; \'\'from your expression, I can tell you are madly in love with him, and you\'re just avoiding it. Tiana, loosen up and accept him, he is handsome and very rich, and you just said he dotes on you, so what are you waiting for? \'\'

She asked, watching her sister\'s expression, waiting to see if she was falling for her words, a sweeter grin washed her lips when she saw the smile that appeared on her lips.

\'\'Gwen! It doesn\'t work that way! In fact, end of this talk, so how is work? I\'ve told you to quit that job, I don\'t know why you insist on doing such hard work when I can fend for you comfortably!\'\'

Gwen chuckled;

\'\'Aish, Tiana, I like to make my own money too, when I get my admission, you can pay all my fees, okay?\'\'

Tiana laughed and slapped her shoulders lightly;

\'\'Silly girl, don\'t worry, I\'m saving enough money, you don\'t need to worry about that. \'\'

\'\'Awnn, I\'m so lucky! Let me get something for you to eat, I\'m sure you\'re very famished! \'\'

Gwen smiled excitedly and stood up from the couch, walking towards the kitchen.

Once she was inside the kitchen, the smile on her cheeks disappeared without a trace.

It was just a matter of time and the seed she planted will germinate.

Let\'s see if she would still have that smug smile on her face after that.

…

\'\'Hello? \'\'

Mia\'s eyes shot up in glee for the first time in days, Alex finally picked her call. She had been going through hell for the past few days, but when she saw the call, all her bones reawakened.

\'\'Alex, I\'m so sorry, I\'ll explain everything to you, let\'s meet now, I can come over to your place okay? I really love you Alex, these few days made me realize it, please don\'t hate me, please I\'m going to die if you do.\'\'

She spoke all in one sentence, not even breathing in the middle, fearing that he would end the call before she finished speaking.

There was silence on the other end before Alex spoke;

\'\'I\'m home; you can come over if you want. \'\' With that he ended the call. Mia jumped up from the bed and hurried to her wardrobe to change her clothes.

She knew Alex loved her too much and she knew he was waiting for her to come to him first, but that didn\'t even matter to her, if he wanted her to come to the moon, she would. She didn\'t realize she was in love with him and Nicklaus was just an infatuation, until she was on the verge of losing him.

Quickly, she dressed and left her home, she drove quickly to Alex\'s home. She knocked lightly on his door; she knocked a few times before he opened.

Her heart beat fast as she watched him, their eyes locked in each other\'s, and it was just then she realized how much she had missed him.

Fuck!

Without thinking, she flew into his arms and kissed him passionately, her arms locking around his neck so tightly that even if he tried to get them off, he wouldn\'t be able to. 

Alex was taken aback for a few seconds, he wanted to pull her away but he had missed her so much to even think straight, and without thinking, he locked the door and pulled her up, clasping her legs around his waists before leading her to the bedroom.

They were fast, pulling each other\'s clothes, as though they had been starved for days, Mia clung to him as though he was her breath and even when she climaxed she didn\'t let him go.

Alex breathed heavily as sanity returned to him. She was lying on top of him and he raised his hand to her sides, and Mia thinking he was about to put her aside, hugged him tightly;

\'\'I\'m sorry, I love you please, don\'t stop loving me. I promise, I don\'t have any pictures of him anymore, and I love only you from now on. \'\'

Alex hands stopped on her waists briefly before he wrapped them around her and kissed the side of her neck.

\'\'don\'t ever look at another man again; I want you to look at only me, understood? \'\'

\'\'yes, daddy,\'\'

Mia replied with a beautiful smile, shutting her eyes. Now, she could sleep after so many days.
