Chapter 4) HERMOSA

A week Later :- 

•In Private Cabin of Restaurant•

"Tina ?" .... ,, Valentina's manager called her 

"Yes" .... ,, Valentina took the call and replied to her 

"Are you fine ?" .... ,, Her manager asked 

"Yes" . . . ,, Valentina's replies were short 

"Good , just sign the contract . This project will help to solve all your problems" .... ,, Her manager pointed out the issues Valentina was facing in her life 

"I know but firstly I would like to see what kind of terms and conditions they're going to use" .... ,, Valentina spoke softly to her 

"Tina ! Why are you so hard? Can't you just compromise ?" .... ,, Her manager knew Valentina never used shortcuts in her life

"No , I won't and I can't" .... ,, Valentina still reply in her calm tone 

"Do whatever you want to do but listen AARON JEFFREY CURTIS is the multi-billionaire businessman of NY . Women are dying for his one look to one touch and here you are getting a chance to work in his company but you aren't taking it seriously at all" ...... ,, Her manager was angry at her attitude

Are you done then I'm hanging up" ..... ,, VALENTINA said and disconnected the call

Valentina wanted a man in her life who would true and loyal to her and it was also true that she was attracted to Aaron but she wanted a man one who had agree to her rules and conditions and Aaron wasn't a best candidate for her 

The door opened and few men followed by another man . Valentina's eyes followed the each figures and little bit she understood that whom she was about to meet . She had seen his pictures ofcourse on the cover pages of almost all high-profile magazine . She had seen his interview and not to Forgot the way he approached her in a business party . 

Valentina knew He was very famous , wealthy , successful and self-made multi-billionaire of NY and their lives were poles apart , Completely different from each other and it would be better for her to stay far away from him 

But still there was something smooth , sensual but Dangerous about him that attracted her the most . Perhaps , his eyes which drilled holes into her soul . His aura screamed darkness , dominate and pure evillness like he was the living example of SATAN 

Aaron stopped infront of her and she stood straightly before him 

"AARON Jeffrey Curtis" ..... ,, He spoke in one of that tone which creepily Crawled in between her legs and made her squeezed her thighs tightly

His gazes sent tingles through her spines . .

They stared at each other and She composed her crumbling self and forwarded her hand and replied ,"VALENTINA"

Aaron was attractive , smelled heavenly and his voice made her body to humm a tone of pleasurable moans 

"Curtis Empire is looking forward to working with you, Ms. Valentina" .... ,, Aaron's voice was so slippery that melted in her ears 

"It's My pleasure to work with Curtis Empire" .... ,, Valentina smiled softly and replied to him 

"Just hope our conditions will match with each other" ..... ,, Valentina then spoke and Aaron's eyes stared at her 

"That's What we're here to find out , isn't it ?" ..... ,, Aaron spoke and his voice was slurping , sugary , velvety as his dark eyes seemed to caress her as they trailed from her face to two perfect shaped breast 

Valentina caught his eyes that were on her breast that caused her nipples to tightened as if it weren't his eyes but his hands were touching them

Valentina took a deep breath and thanked to her brain for choosing to wear padded bra otherwise that dangerous man would definitely knew about his affect on her 

"A drink ?" .... ,, Aaron asked her 

"Apologies but not tonight" .... ,, She declined . 

She wouldn't . She needed to keep her mind in work and thinking sharply infront of this living Satan 

Aaron sat down across from her , leaning back on his chair , Completely enjoying the night with the A line actress of NY

Valentina took a sip of water , letting the coolness of water to relax her . She hadn't been nervous with other man , not with any directors , photographers but this man . .

This man started to break the wall of her desires . She wanted him . .

"My terms and conditions" ..... ,, Valentina took out the file and forwarded to Aaron 

Aaron's eyes scrunched when he read her demands . Valentina's eyes were observing him carefully 

A thin line appeared on his sensual lips that showed how unhappy he was . She wanted to kiss those lips and clenched her jaw for thinking wild for the man who was planning to captured her in his darkness

"The contract" .... ,, Aaron's spoke in cold tone and his Secretary passed a file to her 

She read the file and the clauses . .

Her back stiffened . .

"What kind of stupid clauses are these ?" .... ,, Valentina was angry at him but didn't showed to him

Aaron ticked and crossed some clauses of Valentina that made her to bit her tongue .

That was rude but this part was all about money . . She needed money and only for this she came to meet him 

Valentina couldn't want to too attracted to the man or she had fall for him . She hadn't no intention of doing that because one heart break for this lifetime was enough for her 

"I disagree" .... ,, Valentina spoke and disappointedly closed the file

"Is that so" ..... ,, He spoke calmly but there was an hidden devilish smirked on his lips

That smirk with the hidden meaning made more wetness pooled in between her legs . Too much time with this dangerous man would be dangerous . She didn't want to forget that this was not real . It was only for a contract that they'd created an opportunity together to meet each other

"All clauses are too much Mr . Curtis and I'm not going to be a part of this nut-game of yours" .... ,, Valentina spoke and her eyes blazed 

"HERMOSA ! You don't have any choices here" .... ,, Aaron smirked playfully and

"This is blackmailing" ... ,, Valentina voice was high 

"Really but HERMOSA ! Don't you need money" .... ,, Aaron was playing his satanic game with her and that too only for Pearl 

"I came here to sign a contract for your company's new brand ambassador of cosmetic products , not to become a nanny of a child" .... ,, Valentina lost her temper and spoke in high angry tone 

"I need you for Pearl . Her name is PEARL and she is five plus years old . I will pay you the amount you want" .... ,, Aaron was a businessman and only for a child he was willing to play all types of tricks 

"Mr . Curtis ! You are forgetting something . I'm not lacking money" ..... ,, Valentina scoffed

"But you don't have any power . I'm the only one who can help you" . .... ,, Aaron smirked evilly at her 

"What ?" .... ,, Valentina asked confusedly

"Think about your mother Hermosa" .... ,,, Aaron threw his cards made her froze

Valentina mind buzzed the way he used word Hermosa for her . Hermosa world rolled in his tongue and sweetly melted on her mouth and ears 

"My daughter called you MaMa after watching you interview . She has slight autism . I've already gave her chances to understand but image of mother in her head is ,YOURs . Now she is spending her day and nights only crying and calling you MaMa" ..... ,, Aaron clenched his jaw and spoke in cold tone 

Valentina numbly sat there and heared him . They way he explained the situation of his daughter shook her heart . A five years old child with slight autism made her heart crumbled and memories of her past freshened up her healed wounds 

"I need time to think" ..... ,, Valentina spoke and stood up from her chair 

"Very well . I'll send my trusted Person to negotiate the clauses with you" ..... ,, Aaron was very confident that she would get agree to his terms because she was trapped in his clauses 

His eyes were sucking , tasting the features of her . He knew she would definitely say Yes to him because she didn't have any choices in it 

David gave information about Valentina and found out about her sick mother . Whose treatment was highly expensive , Completely out of Valentina's hands . She didn't have anyone other in her life except her mother 

No other family members , no friends and boyfriend too . Her profile , her past was clean and clear like a sunny sky and then Aaron came up with this idea to make her Pearl's mother. 

Aaron was attracted to her and wanted her too and this time was the best to nail his satanic game in her life

She needed money and power for the treatment of her mother who was in the last stage of lungs cancer and Aaron wanted to hold a tight grip on her , only for Pearl . There were few clauses in which Valentina had to live with him , with Pearl . She couldn't date , marry or in any kind of relationship with anyone in this period of time . She would be Pearl's mother for whole one year . 

Valentina left the hotel and saw paparazzi was hanging around her van . This time she was frustrated by Aaron and seeing them made her head to thinned badly 

Her security came and took her through the back side of the hotel . .

Aaron watched her and made a call . .

"July , When are you coming back to NY" .... ,, Aaron asked to Juliette

"Tomorrow ! Brother" .... ,, JULIETTE answered him 

"Why are you late this time ?" .... ,, Aaron was expecting her but she didn't took the flight which was booked for her 

"It's really weird to tell you but a mosquito is trying to suck my blood and I'm searching for a strong repellent spray to kill that mosquito" ..... ,, Juliette said and laughed softly at her own words 

Aaron rolled his eyes at Juliette and her Strong-headed attitude 

(Hermosa : Comes from the Latin word formosus which means "beautiful," "handsome")
