Ellie lives a double life hiding her identity as a thief on the low and the outside as a known company advisor. She steals from a company and later falls in love with the billionaire who is the owner of the company she stole from Sage Enterprises. Will she be able to hide the truth from Adrian and maintain their relationship or will she be truthful and jeopardize her relationship? Is Adrian's love for Ellie strong enough to surpass the deceit?
Ellie
He presses his lips to the curve of my neck and I glide my hand into his hair. I let a fake moan escape my lips as he cusps my breasts into his huge hands. He literally bites my sensitive nipples making me shudder in pain. He turns me aggressively making my back to face his torso. I am so not enjoying this. He makes me bend down in the doggy position and pulls my hair while aggressively humping me. I feel pain from the friction of his manhood thrusting into my small, dry opening. If he was not my boyfriend I would so not be doing this. Do not get me wrong I love my boyfriend. He means the world to me but lately, sex with him is not as passionate as it used to be. It is all about him being pleasured and I get nothing from it. I tried to have a talk with him and explain to him how I was feeling but it did not go as planned. I am thinking of the pancakes I had just prepared before this terrible sex when he makes his final thrusts in me and releases. He comes off me with a satisfied look and gives me a peck on my forehead.
"How was it babe?" he asks with a groan
Careful not to damage his man ego I lie to his face.
"It was amazing. You made me cum severally. I love you so much, baby." I answer with a fake smile.
"I am hungry though. Would you like some pancakes?" I ask him as I get out of the bed and wrap my gown around.
"Yeah, I would. Warm them up for me please." He answers as he gets up, slides into his shorts, and follows me to the kitchen
I loved pancakes. They reminded me of my mother and how we used to make them every Sunday morning before church. I liked them fluffy, made with milk and eggs and blueberries. I warm up the pancakes and serve them for Ryan and me. We sit down in the dining room with both of us sliding through our phones. We were in Ryan's house as it was the best place to hang out with no interruptions as I stayed with my dad.
"Babe, we should go over the plan for tomorrow again. You cannot be too prepared." Ryan says to me as he places his phone face down.
Ryan was not only my boyfriend but also my 'business partner'. We used to get high-end deals from billionaires seeking to bring down rival companies. They would hire us to hack and steal from rival companies important data and properties that were enough to make them thrive while bringing down their rival company. I needed to live this life of crime to provide for Dad.
"Have you talked to Sylvia and Drew?" I ask as I take a stool and crouch next to him
"Not since yesterday but I will call them before we sleep and finalize things with them. Okay, let us get down to business." He says putting on a stern face. "You and I will go into the server room in the company immediately after Sylvia shuts down the CCTV cameras and we have approximately five min to get in get the data and get out before anyone notices us. Drew will guide us through the shortest possible route. You and I will walk in dressed as usual employees in the company and once we get into the server room we start off. At this point, we will have approximately three minutes to finish the job and get out of there. We will go out using the front door and at this point, the security alarms will have gone off and there will be chaos in the company. We will walk out calmly and find Drew waiting for us outside and drive off. Luckily we will be home to catch the new episode of My Life with you." He finishes off while getting up to get a glass of water.
"The plan is simple and I am sure it will work out if we all stick to it. This is just like any other job." I reassure myself although I feel a tinge of nervousness. I am always nervous before any heist.
"We should get to bed El we have a long day tomorrow. I cannot wait to be done with the job, get paid, and come back home and have celebratory sex with the love of my life." He says while picking me up and placing me on the kitchen counter and planting a passionate kiss on my lips. If only the sex was this passionate.
"You did not have enough of me huh," I say giving him a mischievous smile.
"No, you do not get to tease me missy. We both need good sleep." He answers while picking me up and carrying me upstairs.
I stare at pictures of my mum before I go to sleep. I miss her. I slowly drift to sleep in Ryan's arms.
"Hurry up babe! You really do not have to be doing makeup while going to do dirty work" Ryan says to me as I am finishing drying my hair.
"I am not putting on makeup. I am applying my skin care products. I will be out in a moment when I am done." I shout back at him from the bathroom. "Can you grab my bag, please? It has our supplies inside."
" Have you called Sylvia and Drew?" I ask him as I come downstairs and grab a pancake as I head towards the door where Ryan is waiting for me.
"Yeah, they are ready. Let us go." Ryan says while getting in the car.
We get to Sage Enterprises and our mask look is that we are there to apply for jobs. As Ryan is distracting the receptionist, I manage to steal her key card. The company is so big with escalators going up and down every which way. Luckily we have Sylvia and Drew who are directing us on the path to follow. Earlier that week, we had looked into the company and had blueprints of it so it was easier now while being directed by our Bluetooth ear pods.
We walk past the receptionist and a few offices and finally get to the server room. We close the door and get to work. I remove the flash disk from my bag and place Ryan's phone on the desk for easier communication with Sylvia and start transferring data from the servers. We have approximately three minutes before we are busted.
One minute in, a message pops on Ryan's phone and I rush to open it thinking that it is Sylvia. I thought wrong. I am greeted with a message that makes my heart skip a beat.
"Hi baby, text when you are done and El is gone. Take care." I read it out aloud in disbelief. " Baby huh! What the fuck Ryan! Who the fuck is texting you like that!"
"It is not what you think. Calm down, babe. This is not the time and place for this"
"What exactly is the time huh? After El is gone? Who is that and why does she know me and most importantly are you fucking cheating on me, Ryan?!"
"It is no one baby. I am not cheating on you. She is no one. Hey listen to me, I love you okay? Let us finish this and then we can go home and I promise to clear things up, okay?"
"There is nothing to clear up Ryan, nothing. Let me see that phone, Ryan." I say angrily snatching his phone and I am not prepared by what I see. I recognize that number. That is Grace's number. My very own fucking best friend!
" What the fuck Ryan! You are cheating on me with Grace. How long has this been going on?"
" I wanted to tell you when it first happened. It was an accident, my love. I never meant to hurt you."
"Stop lying to me and answer my fucking question."
"Hey if we lose control now we will get caught. Look the drive is done. We need to get out of here."
"I do not fucking care, Ryan. How long have you been fucking Grace behind my back?"
" Hey babe, I promise I will explain everything once we are out of here," Ryan says while coming closer and grabbing my face. Almost immediately the sirens go off and they stir me to reality. As much as I feel so angry and betrayed I really do not want to end up in jail. Who would take care of my dad? Ryan grabs the drive and my hand and we run out of the server room. We run outside to the opposite side of the server room then compose ourselves and walk out calmly through the front door while guards run past us towards the server room. We find Drew waiting for us and as soon as we get in he drives off.
"Do not touch me, Ryan," I say as I strut past him and upstairs to get my stuff from his house.
"Let us talk about this like adults El." He says following me closely and grabbing me from behind making me turn to face him.
"Now you want to be an adult after fucking with my best friend behind my back. How 'adult' of you!" I say while poking him in his chest.
"Ouuuuu I sense trouble in paradise," Drew says while grabbing a pancake from the kitchen counter.
"Shut up Drew!" We both say at the same time while turning to face him.
"Listen to me baby, we only hooked up once I swear to you. She is the one who wants me I do not want her. I only want you baby. I love you. I would never hurt you, you know that." He says while moving a strand of hair from my face.
"How long has it been going on Ryan?" I ask him bluntly
"Like three months now. But I promise babe I only have feelings for you."
"Did you fuck her here, in your room?"
"Yes, but I swear it was only one time. It was a moment of weakness. I love you." He begs while taking my hand.
"That's it Ryan just
give me space. Let me get my stuff and get out of here before I do or say something I might regret later." I remove my hand from his grip turn and start going up the stairs.
Tears stream down my face with every step I take. I could not believe this was happening to me. I thought we were more like Bonnie and Clyde together. I love him and it hurts even more because it is not only his betrayal I am facing but also my best friend of fifteen years. How could Grace do this to me? I loved her like a sister. I reach Ryan's room bang his door and melt down. I cannot hold it at this point. The pain, the betrayal, and the anger are just brewing in me. I pick myself up and head to the closet to get my clothes. I pack up my clothes, shoes, and makeup that I had brought over to Ryan's place for convenience. I pick up my luggage and go downstairs.
"Drew, can you please give me a ride to my place?" I ask Drew while I approach the bottom stairs.
"Babe let us talk about this, please."
"I do not feel like talking to you. When I do I will hit you up." I say while walking outside followed closely by Drew. I remember there were pancakes and I was extremely hungry so I drop my luggage get in take two pancakes then storm out again.
