Hey guys!!

*********

Lily had fallen into a deep slumber as she waited for her husband to come, dressed in an alluring piece of lingerie as she admired the beauty of the full moon while sitting on the couch. The exhaustion of the day only pulled her to the dreamland, keeping her hidden away from the reality that was until she felt the soft lingering touches on her face.

The warm breath that appeared to be intoxicated against her cheek disturbed her, pulling her out of dark yet peaceful slumber and she slowly opened her tired eyes expecting to see the handsome face of her husband. The anticipation turned into confusion that lasted for a few seconds as she found the familiarly strange face near her lips. The hues of confusion soon morphed into horror as his face only seemed to lean closer towards her lips.

Lily let out a horrified shriek as she pushed the man away from herself and abruptly sat up with widened eyes and a heart that was beating furiously in her chest, "what are you doing?!"

Alastair, who landed on the marbled floor, panicked upon seeing her wide awake. He felt the sudden wave of shudder that ran down his body as a fear of failure gripped him internally.

"She was not supposed to be conscious." That thought kept running in his mind, repeating again and again like a mantra as his eyes slowly travelled from her bare legs, all the way to her eyes. Her blue eyes stare at him with confusion, horror and loathe.

Lily was in deep shock as she sat there for a few seconds, completely still as she took countless number of deep breaths while her tired brain tried to interpret what was happening around her until he lifted his brown eyes and was met with hers.

Fear crawled through her chest as she saw him, still looking at her. The feeling of anxiety soon followed as she pulled the fabric that had fallen down her shoulder when she sat up to cover herself, an attempt to keep herself safe from his lustful eyes.

"What are you doing in my room? Get out!" Lily screamed at him, feeling wronged because of the way this disgusting man had tried to cross his boundaries with her.

She saw him standing up on his feet as her mind wondered what would have happened if she had not woken up and the answer only made her want to puke and him more disgusted in her eyes. As Lily realized what she had almost gone through and almost avoided she concluded that having this man around would never be good and moreover she had enough. More than enough.

"Get out this instant!" She stated firmly as she glared at the man with newfound confidence that her anger brought within herself, "and never show your face to me. Or to Easton. We do not want to work on your stupid project."

Alastair, although was aware that his plan had failed but he knew it had not completely backfired. He still had a shot left and beside the main purpose behind this game could still be fulfilled. Therefore, he gathered his thoughts together and stood up straight, determined to ruin it for Lily and Easton.

"Are you sure about that, sweetheart?" He chuckled, adding further with a tone laced with nothing but mockery, "I bet your husband would say otherwise."

Lily was boiling at the audacity as she stood up angrily, her face turning red in anger, "Don't worry about it because once I tell Easton how his new rich partner was sexually assaulting his wife, my husband would not only kick your project but your balls as well." She seethed out with confidence. The certainty and the trust were almost admirable but also pitiful in Alastair's eyes.

Alastair deliberately let out a loud chuckle that actually sounded fake as he passed her his charming smile. He rubbed his perfectly clean sharp jaw with the fingers of his right hand while eyeing her in amusement, "You really are gullible Lily, aren't you?" He laughed out loud, "I mean you really don't understand what is happening here, do you?"
