“I found my mate aunt!”. I said, she stopped immediately, staring at me happily. "Tell me everything!" she said, clasping my hands in hers. "From the beginning!“Or should I say my mate found me!?“. I rolled my eyes, dropping my bag on the massive chair my aunt called cushions. I sat down on the couch, and Aunt Aurora poured me a glass of water. I took a sip, letting the cool liquid soothe my dry throat. I took a deep breath, preparing to tell her everything that had happened."Thank you so much, Aunt Aurora!" I whispered, bowing my head in gratitude."Tell me everything, from the beginning!" she whispered excitedly, her eyes wide with anticipation."He's a vampire!" I declared, barely able to contain my emotions."A vampire?!" she exclaimed, jumping up from her seat. "He's a what?!"I smiled lazily, savouring the look of disbelief on her face. "He's a vampire, Aunt Aurora." I whispered.“Oh my goodness”. She exclaimed. "And he’s claiming you as his mate?" she asked, her voice fill
"Hello, mate!" a deep, husky voice called out from the shadows. I rolled my eyes and kept walking, even though it was dark and I couldn't see very well."You couldn't stop thinking about me all night, could you?" His voice teased. "I can tell by the dark circles under your eyes."I ignored his taunt, muttering to myself, "I was thinking of different ways to end your life." I hoped he wouldn't hear me, but of course he did.To my surprise, he let out a chuckle. "Ooh, someone's got a dark side," he said, sounding almost impressed. "I like it.""So You really want to end your mate's life?" His voice taunted. "You must want to stay single for the rest of your life!". He added.I scoffed. "I'd rather be single than have you as my mate!".He laughed. "Ouch! That stings!"."Why do the street lights always flicker and go out when you're around?" I asked, a hint of accusation in my voice. "Is it because you're so hideous that they can't bear to look at you?"He burst out laughing, his deep, hu
I woke up, got ready for work, and went about my usual morning routine. I was grateful to be working in the kitchen today, instead of serving tables. It was less stressful, and I liked being able to focus on the food instead of the customers."Hey, Amelia!" Jake, the head chef, greeted me with a big smile.Jake had always been especially kind to me ever since I started working there, more so than the other kitchen staff. They were all friendly, but there was something about Jake's kindness that seemed extra special."Hey, Jake!" I returned his smile."How's everything going?" he asked, as he started chopping vegetables."Good, I'm glad to be in the kitchen today," I said, grabbing a few plates from the stack. "I feel like I can relax a bit more when I'm getting orders instead of serving.""I hear ya!" he laughed. "The customers can be a bit much sometimes. At least the food never complains!""So, How's the cooking going, Jake?" I smiled, asking."As always, it's exhausting but rewardi
I paused for a moment, surveying my surroundings."What's going on?" I muttered to myself, addressing no one in particular. The lights remained on, and he was nowhere to be found.Disheartened, I trudged my way home, holding onto the hope that he would eventually show up. Unfortunately, he didn't appear until I reached my doorstep.Restlessly, I tossed and turned in bed, pondering what had gone wrong. Why did he choose to be absent today, and why was I so desperate to see him?Frankly, I couldn't care less if he vanished completely.“Bing!" My phone notification popped up, revealing a message from an unfamiliar number."Oh, it must be Jake!" I whispered, sitting up in excitement."Hey lia , since tomorrow is Sunday and we don't have to work, I was wondering if I could pick you up for a little picnic. Just the two of us!" His message read, accompanied by a freezing emoji.I couldn't help but laugh before composing my reply.“Sure, Jake, you can pick me up at 12:30," I typed before hitt
I took one last look in the mirror and headed downstairs, my heart thumping in my chest. I was nervous, but also excited.Excitedly, I made my way downstairs to meet Jake.I stopped at the last step of the stairs, I caught sight of Jake waiting for me at the door. My heart skipped a beat as I took in his appearance. He was dressed casually in a crisp white shirt and a pair of jeans that hugged his muscular legs. His dark hair was tousled, and his piercing blue eyes were locked on me, taking in my appearance with an appreciative gaze.I bit my lip, suddenly feeling self-conscious.As Jake took in my appearance, he seemed lost for words. His eyes lingered on me, taking in every detail of my outfit. The way he looked at me made me feel both exposed and adored. His voice was soft and husky as he spoke, his words sending a shiver down my spine."You're breathtaking," he said, his hands gently clasping mine. "I can't believe how beautiful you look." He smiled, and I felt my heart melt as I
"We can't just sit here and wait for Damien Montenegro endlessly, We are investing in his company yet we are the ones waiting for him". Mr marcus, one of the investor complainThe others agreed but there was nothing they could do. There is no one who can face Damien Montenegro. Only if the person is ready for death."Mr Marcus, I heard you talking???. " Damien Montenegro said , immediately he entered."Nothing, Nothing, Mr Montenegro." Max. Damien looks at his right hand man.

He paused and look at everyone before continuing "Did you all know hotels always have one huge lawn and a garden here." He taps on the screen." There's two huge lawns and two gardens........"

Chapter twoDamien shut down his system. He closes his eyes, leaning back on his chair.He has been like this since morning. Unable to concentrate. He has a lot on his schedule today but he made max cancel it.He picks up the AC's remote, increasing the coldness in his office . Maybe this would clear his head.His mind was just blank and only one thing was framed in his mind. " The stripper". He suddenly felt like seeing her but the time moved so slowly.Her sexy curve .... The way her boobs and butt bounce at every move she takes . Her full boobs.... The AC was giving him goosebumps. He could help but smile."Hmm, it seems like someone is having a wet dream. Max said, winking" Did I not always tell you to knock before entering my office??. "I did knock thrice but you were too busy thinking to hear." Max smirks, glaring at Damien's lower part.Damien looked down at himself, only to see how hard he was. He quickly covered it with a file."But damien". Max call , taking a sit beside h
