Chapter 6~ Dante's POV
===========The next morning, as I reached his office, I placed a call to Ruth on the landline in my office. Once the call got connected I began, "Hello, Ruth, how are you doing,""I'm great sir, I hope you received the the text message I sent to you sir," She inquired."Yes, I did, please can you inform Miss. Skye, I want her in my office right away," I ordered."I will inform her right away sir, and congratulations on your first day at work sir," Ruth added.With a slight smile, I responded, "Thank you," and instantly I disconnected the call as I returned to my filled-up table, with for Valerie's appearance in my office, as I had plans she won't ever see coming.After an hour, I was still infused in my work when I remembered, I had yet to see Valerie, then I placed the call once again to Ruth, "Hello Ruth, I am yet to see Miss. Skye, didn't you inform her, I want her in my office?" I asked."Sir, I did inform her instantly, I got off the call with you, and she told me she would be in your office swiftly but now you are saying she hasn't come, I am also in awe sir," Ruth explained to me.Taking a deep breath, I already understood what was happening, so I told Ruth, "Nevermind about it, I will sort it out,""Very well sir," she said, and so the call got disconnected.Dropping the receiver on the telephone, I smirked softly, "Acting all tough, huh? I guess I will have to go to her myself, then I'd see how she would escape talking to me,"Then I stood up and headed to her office with the help of some of my employees I met on my way there, I finally got there.Slightly knocking, She huffed out a question, "Who is there?"But I intentionally didn't give a response, so I gave a knock once again, "Who is there?" She asked, but this time, there was a hint of anger underneath her voice.Still, I refused to answer her, but before I gave the third knock, her office door was suddenly opened, as she found out it was me, her frown face, shifted immediately, "Oh! It's you," she said."Come in," She uttered, with a slight sneer.Entering her office, she closed her door, as I looked around I noticed there was no way to reflect outside what was happening inside, so I decided to take my chances with her.Offering me a seat, "Please sit down," She said. I began with a question, "Why have you refused to appear in my office when I asked Ruth to call you,""I'm busy, and I don't have time for you rubbish talks, staying away from you brings less violence to me," she responded, as she rolled her eyes.Seeing her eyes, all I could think of was fucking her so hard just like the other night.But still composed myself, as I thundered out, "Do you realize it's your boss you are talking to,""Oh, I forgot, BOSS, I was busy, and you can see it not like you are blind," she blotted out.With that, I stood up to where she was seated, and I lifted her jaw, which resulted in her looking me in the eyes, So I said, "Whether you like it or not, the night we had will be repeated countless times, and there is nothing, I mean nothing you can do about it, and never let it out of your head that I, Dante Blaze is the man you had a one night stand with and trust me, I will make you mine,"Saying this, I saw the fear in her face, and then I freed her jaw from my hand.Trying to regain her grip, jutting her chin in defiance, " You are so wrong about me, I am not cheap neither am I weak, I am not a thing you can toy with, whether you are my boss or not, my position in this company gives me the power to do whatever I want and there is nothing you can do to stop it,""Oh really, "I teased her "We will see about that," and so I stormed out of her office.With that, I decided not to go directly into my office, so I headed to the office garage where my car was parked and so I drove out.A few seconds later, I stopped at a restaurant close to the office, as I needed to have a drink to relax my nerves, entering there, I had my seat and signaled to the waiter to bring me an alcoholic champagne and without wasting time, he brought it to my table.Drinking it, a beautiful but stunning woman walked into the restaurant with so much elegance in her steps I was so damned because that lady is so fine and I am moving close to her.Patiently I waited, as I watched her seated and ordered her drink. As soon as I discovered, she was in her comfort zone. I called out to the waiter by signaling.And hurriedly, he came, "I'm here since," he said with a bit of professionalism in his voice."Do you see that lady in a denim jumpsuit," I said slightly pointing."Yes, sir I see her," He uttered."Can you please add her bill to mine," I instructed him.And so he nodded his head and quickly he returned to his post. Not too long, the beautiful lady, waved at the waiter, as she wanted to settle her bill.Upon the waiter, reaching there, he waved his hands to her by stopping her from paying and pointed his hands in my direction, causing the lady to look at me.I waved at her in a flirtatious manner, which prompted her to invite me to her seat. Seeing this, I knew I was already a player in this lustful game of mine.The moment, I reached there, I stretched out my hands to her as a means of greeting, "Hello beautiful," I said to her.And with a blush on her face, she placed her hands on mine, as she responded, "Hello handsome, I must confess, you do know your ways around women,""Well, I'd take that as a compliment," I said to her, wearing a wide smile."Please have your seat," She offered.And snappily, I pulled out the second chair by her table and had my seat."So, may I know your name, "I started, initiating my player mode."Well, I am Lidia, Lidia Robinson," She responded."I guess your parents took their time in finding a name for you because it suits you perfectly," I praised.Chuckling, she said, "Thank you, so you haven't told me your name by chance or isn't that how it works,""My apologies, senorita, my name is Dante, Dante Blaze, and I am single by the way," I introduced myself."You are a funny man," she teased."Anyways, you know why I am here, I saw you from a distance, and babe, you took my breath away, if I am not too forward, may I have your digit, perhaps we could hang out sometime," I requested.And to my surprise, she instantly agreed, and we exchanged numbers, trust me, she made everything easy for me.Soon after that, I said to her, "It's nice meeting you Lidia, I have to run off to work now,"And lifting her hands toward my lips for a kiss, I continued with a glint of charm in my eyes, "I will call you tonight that's a promise to you, mama,"She reddened at my words, leaving a smile on her face, and with that, I headed towards the exit door of the restaurant and left.Chapter 7~ Valerie's POV========="I really can't believe this Dante," I said to myself the instant he walked out of my office."He is my boss, no doubt but the threats, he gives, are what I won't take, " I continued.With my emotions on a high scale, I tried everything I could to calm myself, and lucky for me I managed to get calm.Returning to my work, I tried as much as I could to focus on it but the words of Dante kept creeping into my mind.I couldn't take it anymore, so I tried something else to see if I could distract myself from her thoughts but who am I kidding, it kept on coming in.In frustration, I said to myself, "That's enough, Valerie, you will not be weak because of his threats, yes you had a wonderful night with him, yes, he gave you the best sex of your life, yes he was so loving towards you that night, but look at the outcome, you found out how much of a jerk he is and that should be your gratitude,"After uttering those words, I gained more confidence in myself an
Chapter 8~ Dante's POV==========As I made my way to the car, I felt bad in a way, but I understood it would take some time for my charms to work on her. I entered my car, as my driver drove off.While the car was still on the dim light street, suddenly I remembered Lidia Robinson, the lady I met at the restaurant earlier.A smile laced on my face, as I decided to call her, so I took my phone and dialed her number. Placing the phone on my left ear, the call instantly got connected."That was fast," I murmured silently to myself.Then I said, "Hey, Lidia, this is Dante, Dante Blaze,""Oh, Dante, how are you doing," she replied with her voice sounding like an old cabinet door."Were you sleeping initially?" I questioned to start a conversation."Yes, I was but it's cool we can talk," Lidia uttered, not even minding my distance."I must confess, you are one of those humans who doesn't take offense in sleep interference," I admitted.Chuckling she responded, "What can I say, I'm flatter
Chapter 9 ~ Dante's POV========Before the end of the day, I heard a knock on my office door, and without looking up, I heard Valerie's voice. "Good evening Sir, I have finished my findings on the project you gave me, I am here to report on it," she said.Feeling defeated, my eyes grew with anger, but at the same time I maintained a calm demeanor, "Valerie I gave you an instruction for tomorrow, so why are you here to make a report on it today?" I swell in annoyance." I felt like working on it today sir," She began as her voice was composed as ever."I do not have much time tomorrow, I'm sorry," she continued as she responded."I beg your pardon?" I shouted."You heard me, sir," she repeated herself.And without waiting for a reply from me, she quickly stormed out of my office.I wondered to myself, as I was caught in awe, "What's wrong with this woman?" "I won't stop all my efforts, you will pay one day, because I must actualize every detailed plan I have laid out for you, Valerie
Chapter 10 ~ Dante's POV============Waking up as early as I could the following day, I arrived early to work. And reaching my office, I saw my secretary, Ruth standing inside my office."Is everything okay Ruth?" I asked."Yes it is sir, I just came to give you your schedule for the day, since it would be a very busy one for you," She responded."Oh, it's fine, just say it, I don't have much time to go through it," I said to her."Very well sir, you have a conference meeting with the foreign investors by 10 pm and you requested I infuse, you and Valerie's outing with one of the stock exchange managers," she reminded me."I remember, not to take much of your time, whenever the time for the meetings is near, you can come to my office for a reminder once again about the meeting I and Valerie want to have with the stock exchange managers, just help me call her into my office, I will take that from here," I explained to her."No problem sir, I will be on my way now," She replied as she t
Chapter 11~ Valerie's POV=========On my way home from work, I was delighted at how free I was, to leave the office without experiencing any drama from Dante.Reaching home, I held on to my door handler to put in my home key, only for me to discover it was open. I wondered as I murmured silently, "Who is in my house, I know is not Anna," while I stood there still in my thoughts, I saw a hockey stick close to my door, so I went close to it and grabbed it.Having it in my hand and returning to my door, I placed my hands back on the handler and opened the door as gently as I could.Entering my house, I tiptoed my way in with the hockey stick with me in defense if it turned out to be a thief.Still on my tiptoeing, I went into the kitchen, and dining table, but I didn't see anyone there, I was in awe as I began questioning myself once, "Who could it be?"Amidst my thoughts, I suddenly heard a loud noise, coming from the guest room, so I rushed there, with my defense weapon still with me
Chapter 12~ Valerie's POV============Settling in my office the following day, as I left home while Mom was still sleeping. I thought to myself while sitting that I was going to enjoy every bit of my day, and then I suddenly heard a knock on my door.Without waiting for my response, the person opened the door, only for me to discover it was Ruth, I was fumed with anger as I shouted at her, "Ruth, when did you become so rude to barge into my office without waiting to hear my permission,"Standing firm she said, "I apologize, ma'am, the boss asked me to call you, and he said it was urgent,""What does he want now," I whispered silently to myself with a scoff."I will be there soon, thank you, you can leave now," I responded to her, as I dismissed her.And so she left my office, still seated, I wondered, "What does that rich brat want, he shouldn't grow any more annoyance in me," Then I stood up, and left for his office, arriving there, I was surprised to see some strange faces seated
Chapter 13~ Valerie's POV===========Reaching my apartment, I knocked lightly on the door. And no one answered, my worries grew, as I began panicking.Forcing the door open, I walked inside and didn't see my mother in the sitting room, this heightened my concern, so I called out, "Mom," hoping for a response but I got nothing.So I continued walking, then my search intensified, leading me to the guest room but I found no one there, I called out once again, and still no response.Then, the tension mounted as I approached my room, so I held onto the doorknob tightly and tried opening but it was shut from the inside.With that, I banged on the door so hard but still, I heard nothing. As fear took over, I tried breaching the barrier and with a forceful push, the door gave way as it opened. Then I entered and called out, "Mom," as my voice trembled with so much fear, hoping for a response this time.But it still resulted in echoes of silence my eyes darted around the room, scanning ever
Chapter 14~ Valerie's POV===========A few hours after the doctor addressed us on my mother's health, I felt unsettled as I began walking back and forth and Dante sat on the chair staring at me with concern in his eyes.To be frank, this side of him surprised me, as I have never expected him to be this supportive but still I will never show how much I am impressed by it.Not too long, as I thought to myself, the Doctor came out of the operating room once again. And this time I kept calm on my composure, allowing him to come close to where we were."Please doctor, how's my mother now?"I inquired as he got to where I stood."We tried everything we could but she is slow in her response which would make the recovery take some time, so she has to stay in the hospital for at least a month," the doctor explained."One month doctor!" I interjected."Is there any other way to enable her to receive her treatment at home, for a better rest because my mother hates hospitals?" I asked."There is
