Monalisa POV.

Ethan took me to a club in the area.

The place seemed to be teeming with a lot of bars, lounges, restaurants, Casinos, and Hotels.

We walked into the club and immediately my brows shot up.

I'd never been to a club before, this was my first time.

I didn't know what to expect, but the place was big, a bit dark, and had so many colorful lights.

There was a large counter with lots and lots of drinks lining the shelf behind. Surrounding the counter were tall barstools.

There was a small stage in a corner and a DJ stood up there, playing some loud music.

Tall round tables dotted the place with no seats.

The place was empty, save for a handful of people.

Ethan led us to the counter.

"Where's everyone?" I asked, I thought a club would be full of people.

"It's still early, most of them haven't arrived yet," he drew close, whispering directly into my ear so I could hear him, even though the music wasn't that loud.

That made his body press up against mine.

"When do they come?" I in

    Monalisa POV."Wake up, beautiful," the deep male voice said touching my face.Feeling weak and dizzy, I managed to open my eyes and saw that we were standing outside the club.My eyes traveled to the face of the person talking to me and I saw it was Greg.I was reclining in his arms as he supported my weight. I felt boneless and couldn't even stand up straight."Where do you live, so I can hail you a cab?" His voice boomed over me.I opened my mouth to answer, but once again the darkness overwhelmed me.........................."What's your address, beautiful?" His voice called to me again, rousing me awake from the darkness.This time around we were seated in a car.I was strapped to the front seat, and he sat in the driver's seat.His fingers were on his car's dashboard GPS, ready to punch in my address."Tell me, so I can drive you home," he said calmly.My head was aching really badly and I was barely managing to open my eyes."Where's Ethan?" I struggled to say, before the dark

  • All Shades of Passion   Chapter 6: Night Out II

    Monalisa POV.Awesome!I was having a great night.Ethan took me to a nice bar in the heart of the city.One of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, MGM Resorts.We stayed in their BetMGM Sportsbook and lounge.It was a beautiful place.Not too luxurious and not too small-scale. Right in the middle where the food and drinks were affordable for everyone.The entertainment was insane.It mainly anchored a sports bar & lounge, it also had LED video walls, dozens of TV screens, and 23 video poker machines.I wasn't really into sports, but Ethan was a die-hard fan of a soccer team and interested in betting on the scores, playoff stakes, and fantasy football.Such entertainment was hard to come by in Salt Lake.Well, I couldn't say for sure, because over there, I wasn't the outdoorsy type.Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere, the rowdy ambiance, and the games while I sipped from my cocktail.We were doing strictly drinks, no fine dining. That's what we could afford.I already had some burger and f

  • All Shades of Passion   Chapter 5: Night Out

    Monalisa POV.A week rolled by as I settled down in Vegas.It was downright hectic.Over the couple of days, Maya kept trying to contact me with strange numbers.Whenever I took the call and heard her voice, I immediately ended it, not giving her time to speak.Then that number too was put on block.Again, she would use another number to text me, pleading with me to please calm down and give her a minute to explain everything.Once I read the message, I deleted it and blacklisted the number.She resorted to sending me long emails, telling me how sorry she was. Writing to me through my Dm's on Facebook and Instagram.I blocked her on those platforms and restricted her email address.Gosh.I was so furious with her.Of all the men she could have had, why did it have to be my Dad?If she really was remorseful for blindsiding me, she would have owned up to it a long time ago.At least said something to me.She never did.She was only now apologizing to me because she got caught.As for my

  • All Shades of Passion   Chapter 4: Ethan

    Monalisa POV.I blinked at him, my eyes taking in his physical features.Was it just me, or did he look so much like Tommy?He was around 5ft 9 inches, broad chest, good build with a thick mass of brown hair and honey-brown eyes.Like Tommy, but the older, more mature version of him.The exact type of guy that I would naturally fall for.Even though Tommy had hurt me after sleeping with me, my heart was still open to love.I knew that one day, somehow, somewhere. I'll find my knight in shining armor who would love me silly and treat me like a princess.A real-life Cinderella story.Just like in all the sweet movies I've watched.Now, seeing this cute guy, who helped me with my suitcase, made me have a little hope that there were still good guys out there. Guys who were good-mannered, gentle, and kind.Unlike Tommy, who made a bet with his friends on a list of girls they wanted to sleep with for fun."What's your name?" Ethan asked, when he noticed I didn't introduce myself back.I sh

    Monalisa POV.From Salt Lake Express bus station, I rode the town bus from the South Strip transit terminal all the way to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.During the short trip, I used my phone to search for affordable hostels and dormitories in the area.My mother had sent me $1k for my lodging and upkeep, promising to send the rest over the weekend.School didn't start until next week for registration and orientation. Classes were scheduled to start the following week, giving us time to settle down.Too bad, I was only resuming now when I should have started my registration process long ago.If only I'd checked my spam folder on time.But it was still early.Registration was still open until the fall, when it stopped, and new intake began.I wasn't going to fret over the rest of my school fees. Since my Mom agreed to give me the initial deposit, I'd work with that and take life one step at a time.My first line of duty was getting an accommodation, which I was currently on my
