Chapter 16: Chapter 16

**BEAUTY'S POV**

I know there's fire on the mountain this time around,Bruno suddenly turned white as if he was blood drained.

"This generation need more serious prayers than I thought"grandma said feebly,shaking her head,I swallowed hard,as beads of sweat run down my wet neck,then she turned to me,my heart raced.

"Seriously.. after our discussion the last time?".

I was about to open my mouth to say ,nothing actually then she snapped her fingers at us

"now you two get on your knees quick!!!"she bellowed.

We both glanced at eachother in confusion,she gave me a death stare and i quickly went on my knees,Bruno hesitated a little longer before he went on one kneel,grandma pushed the other down.

I tried not to laugh,she was really strong,Bruno whined ,mumbling words.

"You are adults quite Alright but I won't ignore the fact that you two disrespected me and ignored my advise the last time"

She was really angry,that it scared me,but Bruno didn't seem concerned about all of this,he was playing around with her like a spoilt brat.

"Grandma,I did take heed to your advises,it jsut happened you cant stop love"

"So sex is love"

She squeezed his ears tightly,he pretend crying out of pain or maybe he was actually crying out of pain.

Their relationships was adorable and beautiful but my knees are killing me silently,Bruno should be fast and get us out of this punishment.

I tried to apologise to grandma but she stopped me with her finger raised.

A knock came in

It was Bruno's sister,Abigail,her eyes asked alot of questions as she walked into the room

"Wow!...grandma you punishing the birthday boy?how interesting".

She asked amused,Grand ma gestured at her ,with a hand wave.

"Come over here and listen to this Abigail" she said to Abigail ,who walked with an exiting face

I was about to vanish into the thin air,due to the embarrassment, I closed my eyes and locked my teeth nervously,few seconds later I heard her play the recorder for Abigail

Abigail burst into a loud laughter

"But granny they are adults..you are being over protective of Bruno,h eis a grown man now"Abigail said as she sat on the bed, legs and hands crossed grinning at Bruno and Beauty.

"Really?so this is normal to you"Granny asked even more disappointed at Abiagil.

"Yes grandma, it's normal since they're in a relationship,sometimes you get really horny and you make love to your partner,that's it"Abogail replied with a shrug.

"How interesting!"Grandma snapped,she seem really surprised at her choice of words,she couldn't take off her eyes off her.

Abigail stood up from the bed she sat on,then brushed her hair with her fingers staring towards opposite wall mirror

"Well ,grandma you can do as you wish to them,Bruno,you two should enjoy am going back to the party"she said and granted her clutch to go.

Grandma gripped on her wrist like a professional.

"You ain't going anywhere young lady,kneel down you need prayers same with them!"she snapped at her.

"Granny but I didn't do nothing!"Abiagil chuckled.Grandma dragged her,but she struggled harder and was able to escape from her gangster grannie.

As soon as Abiagil got out if the room,Bruno chuckled a little because she defeated grannie.

"You are going to make grandma mad"i snapped angrily at him with arched brows.

Grandma turned at us,with that look on her face that is definitely not good news for us

"Now, you two look at eachother,and tell me how this sounds to you"she instructed.

We glanced and each other for a while then we did as instructed

She played the recorder on her phone, Bruno looked excited but try not to let granny notice.

"Now promise that you won't indulge in such act till your wedding night"Grandma instructed.

We both nodded as new converted souls and made our promise to her whiich we know ofcourse we can't possible keep to it.

Grandma went on with her sermons ,over and over again, Bruno would yawn and nod eachtime and then she was done,finally she left the room.

Thank goodness she deleted it before leaving or else I will be so worried that she might play it to everyone out there.

As soon as she left I fell on the bed,with a heavy and loud sigh of relief

"Your grandma must be an FBI agent in her former life"i snapped.

Bruno Chuckled then he came to me and held on my waist

"This night is still my best actually"he whispered.

I shoved him aside.

"Stop saying nonsense,don't you see?... each time we tried to get in to it,we always get caught and embarrassed,maybe absteince is the best way"i said and glanced at him with my side eye.

Bruno looked at me in suprise.

"Don't tell me you're serious about it"he mouthed with a grin on his face.

"I am"i replied pouting.

He came and knelt down infront of me.

"Baby"he said with his softest voice tone,giving me puppy eyes,I tried not to laugh at his childishness.

"You can't charm me with those looks,because am very focused"I said avoiding eye contact.

He chuckled

"I didn't even try,you are complaining of charming you,what if i show you my new dance moves"

He put on the music and started dancing towards me,in a seductive way.

"Nooo,am not looking!!"I screamed out.

He continued his sexy dance and removed his shirt,body rolling then he demonstrated ,his hands on the floor then he did the sexy air kick.

"Stop tempting me,grandma!!"I yelled put laughing covering my eyes

He continued coming closer towards me,then he knelt down and buried his face in my laps,spreading them apart with his hands.

"What are you doing?"I giggled loudly

"I want want to eat,looks so delicious".

His fingers ran under my skirt.

"Well am not food,stop it's tickling"i snapped and push him over me then i ran into the bathroom and bolted the door.

I heard him crack up.

**BRUNO'S POV**

It's been 2 days after my birthday. I arrived at the company first before Beauty,i went into my office waiting impatiently for her,I guessed the outfit and hair style, she would have on her today, everyday I can't but fall inlove with her over again.

An hour later ,she arrived ,as soon as she got into the company,I couldn't keep my eyes off her.

I felt a bit sad that she didn't look towards my offfice,i mean I purposely left my door opened just to see her ,just like I guess she was on a low pony tail but the dress was different from my guess.

I stretched my body on the office chair,made sure everyone was busy before going to talk to her,everyone seem to be curious about why I opened my door ,their eyes were asking lots of questions but they dare not come forward and ask me.

I was tapping my pen on the table impatiently,absentmindedly gazing at my computer,I have in one design for an hour now,i rubbed my face and shit down the system.

I couldn't concentrate and I think I know why.

I hot out of the office,and walked straight to beauty's desk.

"Hello beautiful".

I whispered into her ears from the back.

She looked at me starled, her eyes widened, I didn't mind but she looked cute with that expression though.

"What are you doing ...we are in the company!"

She snapped in a whisper,saying the rest of words with her eyes and eyebrows raised.

"You look so beautiful today I can't help it"i whispered again,and pecked her neck.

"Someone is going to see...

"Bruno!"Kathy called out.

Ofcourse I ignored her but I stood up straight

"Where's Bruno?"

Kathy was walking like she's on a runaway,with her assistants carrying every pin that belongs to her.

I rolled my eyes

She then looked over Beauty's side and saw me.

"What are you doing there?"

She asked suspicious and glanced at Beauty then back to me.

Jessi walked into Beauty's post and sat on the chair opposite her,she turned to Beauty and whispered.

"Looks like she's the only one that is not updated yet".

"Jessi"Beauty snapped in a whisper.

"The representative of Fendi company is in the conference room waiting already ,CEO is also there and you're here doing.....

"Girl ,he owns this company, tall to him with some respect"Jessi snapped.

"This is none of your business bitch!"she snapped back at Jessi.

Beuaty sighed

"Jessi that's enough ple...

She paused when she felt my lips on her cheek,she looked up at me ,her eyes big enough to burst out of its sicket,her palm on her cheek,I was grinning uncontrollably staring at her lips,she glanced back at Kathy.

Who was left speechless when i kissed Beauty's cheek.

I came out of Beauty's post and walked towards the her.

"What's the meaning of that"kathy asked with a priceless expression on her face.

"Boom!!".

Jessi cuts into her blank mind.

She looked at Beauty who was hiding her face with magazine.

Jessi laughed out.

"Well I will tell you ...

I was almost at the door of the conference

"Katherine!"

I called out interrupting jessi

"It's Kathy!"

She snapped back angrily

**BEAUTY'S POV**

I went into the bathroom and damped my makeup,that was a very intense moment back then,Bruno why can't he control himself,I menace not like I don't wnat to walk into his office and kiss him so badly but we got to respect the fact that we are at work.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled shyly.

"Inst it so sweet that he is not afraid to express his feelings,he is so handsome when he stare with that grin on his face"

I giggled,then I closed my eyes and imagined him infront of me

"Bruno....what do you think you are doing back then,so silly,don't kiss my cheek next time,you delivish handsome heartstealer,kiss my lips instead"

I chuckled and opened my eyes.

"Aww!!,I can't hold back any longer,I have to flirt back too"i said to myself and looked closer at my reflection.

"Oh my gosh my mascara!"I snapped and wiped the rough ends and applied new one

This days am just very concious of my looks,after I also reapplied my lipgloss.

"Looks great"i said pouting my lips, I then closed my eyes and imagined him here again.

"What do you think Bruno?,do you want to kiss my lips (giggles)go on"i said pouting my lips with my eyes closed

I was so careless I didn't know when someone sneaked in,i gaped i felt hands wrapped my waist.I opened my eyes starled and tried to scream but he was fast ,he covered my mouth.

"Why are you trying to be a distraction huh?"

"Bruno "I whispered, as my face lit up in excitement,he leaned closer to my back,I freezed and my heart melting,I closed my eyes.

"What was that you were asking me do go you,huh?,you want me to kiss you huh?".

He whispered into my ear,biting it seductively,then I felt his hands moving slowly into my skirt.

My breathe fastened as I spread it a bit for him to take full charge

"I can't focus on work today, are you happy now,you are all on my head"he whispered seductively again,his finger thrust into me.

I gaped and quickly turned and kissed him,passionately,he kissed me down to my bossom

"Stop fooling around , someone might come in"

I moaned in pleasure.

"Who cares"he said ,unbuttoning my shirt.

"I do care"

A voice came from nowhere,we both looked towards the door frozen

Jessie opened the door and found his hands in my skirt.

"Well this is interesting"she said,we both stared at her stunned for a while then Bruno quickly removed his hands from my skirtand left the bathroom with his face down.

"Go wash your hands ewww".

She snapped at him.

"Jessi can't you knock first"i snapped angrily at her,buttoning my shirt.

"Girl this is an office,not your house,you two should control yourselves for f**k's sake"she said with a disgusted look on her face.

"He started it"i said shamefully.

"Oh yeah,but you were enjoying his super fingers and all that"she scolded.

"Take a deep breath Jessi,you won't break your virginity till marriage,that's of Beauty and her Bruno won't oppress you with their office romance life"she snapped angrily at me again.

"Well atleast ,let me enjoy it,let me be dirty or whatever, for the first time Jessi ....i am with someone who doesn't call me fat and disgusting,he wants to make love to me and not just use me for his own pleasure,I don't know if he is going to break my heart like the rest of them...but (sobs).......I would be thankful atleast he made me feel like a woman...for the first time,I felt so loved,important and treasured"i cried more.

"Aww come over here"Jessi said spreading her hands widely.

I went and hugged her crying.

"Shh,Bruno is not like the others,you to are soulmates,cheer up baby"she whispered,consoling me.

**BRUNO'S POV**

After work ,I had to take Beauty home,she told me earlier her dad requested had to meet me.

I was really happy,I guess this is it,we are officially couple ,I will wait patiently till she is ready to take the lifetime journey with me.

It was a long silent drive since we both were too embarrassed about the restroom scene,at the office.

We arrived at her place,her parents were already outside waiting.i got down from my car and walked over the other side to open the door for her but she's already out of the car.

We both walked hand in hand towards them.

"Welcome son"her father said offering a handshake

I accepted,beaming in smiles

"It's nice to meet you dear and also my daughter didn't tell me you look even hotter in real life"

His wife contributed.

"Yes I agree ,he is a good looking young man"her father complimented too.

I smiled shyly and thanked them.

"Seriously, Beauty told me about your good looks,but she didn't say it was in excess"

Her mom teased.

"Alright mom that's enough ,Dad ....mom is flirting with Bruno"Beauty snapped

Everyone laughed

He had a nice family

"Food is already set,Shall we?"

Her mom announced

I nodded and followed Mr Greatson to the dinning

Beauty went into the kitchen with her mom

We can overheard them mumbling exciting words in there

"My daughter cares about you alot, she's been through many ridicules and bullying because she got her weight from me"

I stopped eating and listened.

"It's hard for her to open her heart for another man,I was surprised when she told me about you,I became worried if same history is going to be repeated

"I love Beauty and I won't ever treat her like those guys,I really love Beauty sir,she's like a purpose of living for me,my whole existence"i said slowly thinking of a word to express myself more but I couldn't find a word to describe how much I loved her in order to convince him

"I can tell you are a good one,Bruno ,I love how you tried to express your feelings for my daughter,but listen to me,I don't want to tell you this in her presence,...but if you ever make her cry,you will regret ever accepting this invitation I'm the first place. I am giving a chance to think,is she the type of woman you really want? ,is her weight okay for you ? trust me,if you say no today I won't hold anything against you,even though you already proposed,but if tomorrow, you treat like a rag because of her appearance, you're a billionaire alright,I can go as far as dying to prove my words to you"

"Mr Greatson I will understand you,and how you feel,but I swear with everything I am,I will never hurt Beauty,she's my other half and I can't hurt me,even if we have problem please I will fix it,I promise".

"I like that,there's no perfect couole,but willing to put things right I respect you for that".

He said with a smile.

I thanked him

"My daughter is everything I have , so I am leaving her under your care,i trust you"

He said to me with a very serious tone in his voice.

"I appreciate"i replied smiling back.

Then Beauty and her mom came out of the kitchen after few minutes with a tray of foodies.

They put all down on the dining table and joined us to seat round the table.

"So what are you guys gossiping about?"Mrs Greatson asked .

I wanted to say something but Mr Greatson gave me a sign not to.

"Well just passing on the family tradition to our new son"he replied her and winked at me

"What tradition?"

Beauty asked amused.

"It's meant for the male members of the family alone"her father replied.

Beauty stared at me with curiousity,her expressions are always the funniest

I was trying not to stare back holding back my laughter,grinning uncontrollably.

She leaned towards me and while into my ears.

"Tell me what you guys talked about".

I still hold back my laughter ignoring her ,she got upset and flipped her hair,and stopped trying.

"Hmphhh whatever".

I glanced at her and smiled .

She pouted her lip ,with arched brows.

"Let's pray"

Mrs Greatson announced as we all bent our heads to say prayers before the meal.

**BEAUTY'S POV**

I was excited,never been this happy,I mean it's a good sign right?First my dad invitation went smoothly for Bruno.They both can relate so well like they knew each other before I introduced them to eachother.

Now his dad want to talk with me in person,am so excited though nervous.

I just hope,I will be able win his heart so he will love me back as a daughter,I prayed silently.

We arrived and the guards saluted Bruno,we both walked hand in hand into the building then Bruno went into his room to let see gim,while I waited in the sitting room.

I sat on the couch my palms sweaty like they were dipped into a bowl of water

I kept cleaning it and brushing over my laps.

Very nervous,as soon Bruno came ,I was relieved,but noticed he was wearing a long face

"What happened honey?"I asked curious,never seen him with such a sad face.

"Our company..just don't worry ,it's fine,I will fix it"he said coldly.

He was never this cold before after we started dating,it's like he switched to his former personality,i was so Disturbed.

"Tell me please"

"Just go and see dad, I will fix it,I need to avoid any distraction and focus on work from now on,am sorry if I am sounding selfish"

He didn't even look at me like before,I was disturbed and worried for us but I wave that off my kind,I mean he is obviously scared and stressed about this issue,so I should not add more tension to it.

I forced a smile and shook my head.

"No no not at all,please don't worry about me ,fake your time, I know you can do it,don't think too much please"i replied,he smiled at me feebly.

"Thanks baby"

He kissed me and left.

I stare at him till he left the waiting room,whatever it is ,I hope we pull through it.

"Boss said you can now come in"

Mr Hathaway's P.A announced,interrupting in my thoughts.

I quickly stood up,stretched my flowing gown,I looked back towards the direction Brunonwent to before heading to Mr Hathaway's waiting room.

I got to the door,took a deep breath and went in.

He looked happy to see me,it was a good sign though ,so I smiled back relieved.

"Good day boss"I greeted politely.

"Hello Beauty"

It's the first time he didn't say fatty,I was feeling a lot better with this condition and atmosphere, everything.

"How are you doing today?"he asked with a smile on his face.

"Am good, thanks"i replied.

"Please have a seat"he gestured at the couch.

I nervously sat down ,my fingers crossed.

He made a call,I waited patiently and listened ,it was about the company

It's wasn't nice at all ,the company is about to go bankrupt,and it will all depend on Bruno,his father doesn't care much,cus he already signed everything under Bruno,no wonder he was so weak then.

"Ok he is aware,please give him a little time to prove to you,he will do it,unless he is a failure,which he is nit,it's up to him now"Mr Hathaway said at last and the receiver hunged up.

He dropped his phone and sighed heavily

"Boss..is... is everything okay?"I asked slowly,scared of how he would react.

He smiled back,it scared me that moment,I mean why is he smiling in a time like this

He got up and walked to me.

"You're a nice girl Beauty".

"Thanks sir".

I forced a smile feeling uncomfortable.

He went to my back and grabbed my boobs,so roughly and bit softly on my neck

I gasped shocked and stood up,stepping back from him,my eyes got wet in confusion.

"Calm down,it's simple,listen I will accept you as my daughter in-law if you let me have a taste of you,back then in the room,you made me horny,like I was peeping from the wardrobe ,and jerking off,you are really sexy Beauty,i get to notice it late,you are beautiful, that moment I became jealous of my son,no wonder he never wanted to let go,well am his father and twice as good as him,so you gotta give me a chance".

Tears rolled down my cheeks,all these time,he was talking ,it felt like i was inside a horror movie,I was too shocked to say anything, the moment he grabbed on me forcefully my mind went into a swirl,and fear gripped me.

I pressed on the wall,trying to see a way to get to the door,I codely stretched my hand to get to the door knob.

"Are you trying to run?"he said losing his tie.

"Don't touch me,or else..."I said shaking.

He smirked and pulled off his tie from his neck,then he walked close to me,and loosened his waist belt ,his pants dropped down his legs,my eyes widened,I went to the door but it wasn't opening.

He was fully erected,it scared me more.

"Don't come closer or else....

"You will tell Bruno?,you think he can handle it,at a time like this?,he is totally stressed and telling him can be sucidal don't you think so,nobody going is to find out about us,just let me.have my way,get on your knees and make me feel good nice kitty"he said lustfully

"I will never cheat on Bruno,not with you not with anyone else"I snapped back angry this time,still in tears.

"Maybe you need time to think about it,I won't tell you the consequences of saying no to me,nobody ever did that,so go on,and come back to me when you are ready,I will forgive you and get someone else for today".

He said toying with his erected manhood,with his own hands.

He threw the key card to me,I picked it up nervously and opened the door, I rushed out of the room and slam the door breathing heavily.

I quickly dried my face before Bruno sees me like this and start asking questions.

I went back to my couch,like I just saw ghost ,my whole body shaking,and my lips shivering, I tried not to cry loudly.

I buried my face in my arms shivering in shock,I was getting impatient ,I don't think I can wait any longer.Then his P.A passed by with a sexy model,she went into the room after the returned to her work.
