“Breakfast is ready, Mr George” A petite middle-aged maid called out and walked away. George quickly put on a dark blue t-shirt getting ready to head to the dining hall to eat breakfast with Rachel.
Rachel….
George sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. She was acting cold to him again, before he woke up, she was already dressed, heading downstairs. She was back to her ‘new’ self, giving him cold distant replies and avoiding his gaze.
Was she trying to say that last night meant nothing to her? Did she really not like him anymore?
He didn’t know what to think anymore. She was not saying anything to him about what could be wrong. It seemed like she wanted to just handle everything all by herself. And here he was, not knowing if the cause of her anger was him or something else.
Four months….
They had four months left before their one year marriage contract came to an end. The thought of it made him weak. Did she really plan to end it with him? What would he do if she actually left? But she said she loved him, didn’t she mean it?
He stepped out of his bedroom and strolled over to the dining hall. Pushing his chair back, he sat on it, across Rachel who was eating her way through the delicious meal. He joined her and they cleared their plates till they were satisfied.
As he ate, George peered at Rachel quietly, watching her as she kept her gaze focused on her food throughout, not even glancing at him for a moment. He couldn’t let this one slide, he had to sort things out with her once and for all.
“Is something bothering you?” George asked, staring at her.
Her eyes moved up, focusing on him for a moment before she quickly averted her gaze. “There’s nothing wrong at all. If there is, I’ll let you know”
“That’s what you have been saying for over two weeks now, yet your actions are completely different!”
“That’s because nothing is wrong. Why are you raising your voice?”
“Because it’s so frustrating. Imagine if you were on the receiving end of my coldness, how would you feel?”
“I am not cold to you…” Rachel muttered, sighing and looking away
George frowned and eyed her “You are so cold, acting like you didn’t throw yourself at me last night….”
“What?” Rachel’s eyes widened in disbelief. She wasn’t expecting him to bring last night up. “Why are you bringing that up?”
“Shouldn’t I bring it up?” George frowned more “You kissed me like you couldn’t get enough, you even rubbed your -”
“Stop it…” Rachel muttered, her face turning red in embarrassment. Was he really going to mention everything that happened last night?
George rolled his eyes and continued talking “You even rubbed yourself against my erection and you liked it, you enjoyed i-”
“Oh my goodness, stop it!” Rachel whispered, looking away in embarrassment. She was sure her cheeks were completely red. To make things worse, her body was responding to his words….
“Can you just stop describing what happened last night?”
“Why? Do you want to act like you didn’t enjoy it?” George eyed her and folded his arms across his chest, the stack of their empty plates between them. “You liked it when I kissed you back, I remember the way you moaned when my tongue touched your breasts-”
“George!!” Rachel gasped. Has he gone crazy?
“You loved it when I pressed my erection against your wetn-”
“George!!” Rachel yelled, her chest heaving. What if a maid heard what he was saying? “I get it, okay? I get it!”
“One moment, you are cold to me, the next moment, you’re pulling me down for a kiss. I am not enjoying it anymore.”
Rachel paused, trying to gather her breath. She could feel the heat and wetness between her legs rise. His words had somehow gotten to her and now her body ‘wanted’ him.
George peered at her, noticing the way she caught her breath, over and over, the way her breasts suddenly became firmer, her pointed nipples pressing against her silk gown….
Rachel sighed, her vision getting blurry as the surge of ‘desire’ flashed through her. She felt her gown get ‘tighter’ as her breasts became fuller. Adjusting on the chair, she whispered “Just give me some time. I’ll tell you everything you need to know”
“Really? Do you mean it?”
“Of course, I do”
George pushed his chair backward, he stood up and walked over to where Rachel sat. He went on his knees till he was the same level with her on the chair. Rachel stared, wide-eyed when he moved his face closer to hers and placed his hands on her waist.
“What are you doing?”
“Giving you what you want…” George whispered before he covered her mouth with his. Rachel’s body melted against his hands instantly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned as he lifted her in his arms and carried her into their bedroom….
~~~~~*~~~~~
Morris Scott paced around his personal library slowly with a deep frown etched on his face. He had been feeling very uncomfortable lately and he couldn’t point out the main reason.
He had a strong feeling that someone had discovered what he had been up to all along. To think that, that detective had not come here since that time said a lot. One of his ‘men’ had reported to him that instead of coming here, she would rather go over to Rachel’s former house….
And not just that, Rachel has also been meeting with the detective a lot lately. Something was fishy, something was going on and he had to get things in order quickly.
He was also expecting his bodyguard, Raymond to give him a final summary about the encrypted file and if anyone has gotten access to it. He really hoped that no-one knew about it….
It was all Raymond’s fault! Stupid fool! Of all the places to trash a file like that….
What was he even thinking? And now, after five years, just when he thought he had nothing to worry about, the encrypted file suddenly becomes a ‘new’ problem.
Raymond pushed open the door leading to where Morris was and stepped in. “Sir…!”
Morris turned around to glare at him while breathing slowly to calm himself down.
“What is the update concerning the file?”
“I have wiped it off from the database and gotten rid of it, sir”
“That’s good,” Morris continued pacing around, too uncomfortable to sit. “Is there any other thing I am supposed to know?”
“The coding team finally sent their reply regarding the encrypted file and anyone had gotten access to it…”
Morris halted his steps instantly and marched forward till he was a few steps away from Raymond. His eyes were alert in anticipation of the result, his life and freedom was on the line.
“So, how did it turn out?”
“Based on their reply, someone has gotten access to the fil-”
“What?!!” Morris gasped in disbelief and staggered to the back in shock. How he had hoped a day like this would never come!
“And from the summary of everything he said, it seems like a second person got access to the file somehow…”
“A second person?!!” Morris yelled angrily, a bead of ‘nervous’ sweat covering his forehead.
“Yes sir!”
“Were they able to figure out where the hacking source came from?”
“The leader of the group wasn’t really clear yet. Based on what I remember, he said both of the hackers cleared up their tracks. But after a while, he was able to find some traces…”
“Tell me! Where and where?!”
“It seems like one of the hackers is within this company and the other hacked in from outside here….”
Morris howled, he laughed like a madman. To think that he had not just one person to ‘fish out’, but two! All these extra work for nothing!
“This is all your fault! If you had done your job well, none of this would have happened!”
Raymond bowed instantly “Forgive me sir. This will never happen again!”
“I believe you know that we have to figure out who these hackers are and get rid of them before the evidence comes to light?!”
“Yes sir! I am ready to amend my mistakes”
Morris sighed, irritated by how everything seemed to be going wrong. He had to clean things up quickly. “Do you remember that detective lady we talked about last time?”
“The one we saw at the gate? Sophia?”
“Yes, that one!” Morris responded, fuming in anger. “I want you to bring her to me!”
Raymond glanced up at him “You mean…?”
“Find some men to kidnap her. Bring her to me! I have some questions for her. How she answers me will determine if I will keep her alive”
“Yes sir!” Raymond answered firmly “Do you perhaps suspect that she is one of the hackers?”
“If my guess is right, then she is. She may not be the one who directly hacked the file but I am sure she knows something about it.”
“I understand. At your service, Sir”
“Act discreetly, do not raise any suspicions. Don’t forget that she is a detective, she is easily suspicious. No matter how you go about it, all I want is just one thing. Bring her to me!”
