Veiled Desires

EPISODE 7

I have a license to it and you don't have to be scared… he responds, seeing the look on my face

I had never seen a gun in such a close range before

I believe there's a lot this man has up his sleeves… what have I gotten myself into

Still tense with my heart racing fast.

We just arrived and a luxurious taxi comes to pick us up

For a moment I feel like a queen… being ushered into the car by the driver

No man and no one had even done that to me… wasn't much but it felt good

And while on the move I enjoy every bit of the scenery, indeed London is beautiful

Here we are!… the driver says courteously.

Boom we just landed at Primewealth hotel clearly it is one of the most luxurious hotels in South London

As we advance, we are given an excellent treatment from the entrance right to our own apartment

He must have ordered the most luxurious part of this hotel with an exquisite lounge,

Lavish bathrooms with upscale features such as heated floors and soaking tubs. High-end, lush linens and towels. Deluxe pillows and mattresses and a perfect view of the scenery from the balcony

This is just the perfect baby girl treatment… I giggled to myself

Feel free to freshen up and change into something more comfortable… Lunch will be served in a bit

He tells me right after dropping his bag… same one where the shotgun is buried in.

Still scared… I nod gently

………………………………………………..

It's 4:30 pm in the evening, the trees are dancing to the tune of the wind, and the breeze carries with it the grace of gentle dust.

The tidal movement of the beach not very far from our room can be seen… I would say there is no better view

Except maybe heaven of course?

Come sit with me…. He calls out

I immediately move in to join him, I was already bored but there was always awkward silences between our conversations and perhaps we both aren't good conversationalists or perhaps there was really nothing to discuss all day

I assume position almost alternate to him yet with torso pointing at him

He looks at me in a somewhat erotic way, licks his lips and smiles gently

I'm not dumb I know exactly what that means, Phil did that almost all the time if he wanted to kiss me

Nice dress… he breaks the silence

Well,after staring for 20 long seconds

Yeah, I was counting with my dress almost unable to shield the racing drums of my heart

Clearly, he sweeps me off my feet

Thanks… it's my favorite

I respond calmly

I'd like us to discuss something a little crucial,

Which is the second real reason why I married you…. He adds.

I'm listening…feel free to talk about it

I respond

I'm a billionaire and I have chains of businesses all around the world including this hotel you're in

(I should have known,the special treatment by virtually all the staff like their lives depended on him)

Continuity of my legacy would mean the world to me… I know a lot of ladies these days do not want to have babies and would opt in for surrogacy

But I want to believe you are not one of them, well I want a baby of my own without any of those complicated stuff

Well not like you have much of a choice, I call the shots here

Long story cut short, I want babies as soon as possible

So I want you to condition your mind for it

He adds… looking deep right into my eyes

Ding! Ding!! Rings a bell

Well I'm sure this is the real reason he brought me here mtcheew

Well on a second thought I have no intentions of not having a baby just not as soon as possible because I'm not even sure I'm ready for the responsibility that comes with it

To think he's not asking and declaring to me is pissing me off so bad… well,like he said

"You don't have much of a choice"

Noted sir… I have no intentions of doing the contrary either

I answer after giving a long breath pause.

That's good, I believe we are good on that

Well, that's one

I mentioned to your dad that I was facing great insincerity among my staff in the accounts department

I believe with your wealth of experience and academic prowess in the said field, you should be able to help keep the records straight

Before now, I've had my cousin Karl at the hem of affairs in the accounts unit

I'm pretty sure he has something to do with the sharp retrogression in the company accounts department

Although I've set up an investigation committee and he always keeps getting away after investigation with nothing to incriminate him

He has 20% shares in my biggest company, inherited from his dad though

Now here's where you come in…

Find out as much as you can about the accounts and how they get balanced

You'll be giving me any meaningful information you find,

Well that's pretty much what you have to do…. Any questions

Staring at him with so much disgust…

Clearly he married me to incriminate his cousin and probably force him to sell off his 20% shares to avoid a scandal

Heck, I might even be his next target

I need to be really careful with him moving forward….

Hey, are you there?

He cuts in, waking me from the deep slumber of my thoughts

Y-e- ye-a-h… I respond slightly stuttering

Yeah, I'll do it

But I'll be needing more details as regards the modus operandi of your firm… I added

All the information you need will be provided as soon as we return… so you need not worry

With that I believe we have an understanding?

Of course, I respond hesitantly

Want to get a closer view of the beach?

He asks seemingly excited

Probably the conversation went just as planned

Yeah! I respond, unable to hide the excitement from within me

Here we are walking by the beach… I have my eyes on him wondering why such a handsome man would have such a mean heart

Oh my gosh! Phil

What on earth is he doing here???
