Estella’s pov

The flight was a serene one and as soon as we alighted ,I received a text from Simon saying he wanted to check up on me.

I decided to give him a call and let him know about my vacation with Arman as my companion.He was going to find out one way or the other.

I waited at the terminal while Arman suggested to get some drinks while waiting.

I dialed Simon’s number and he picked almost immediately.

“Hey .”

“Hi”I drawled.

“How are you?I didn’t see you around and decided to drop a te

    Estella’s pov The drive to the club was a short one . A strict bouncer in a suit stood before a velvety red rope, managing a long line of fashionable patrons.He checked the ID Fabio flashed at him and let us in after giving us an icy stare. The sidewalk was crowded, bustling with people dressed up, smokers chatting, and the muffled, heavy thumping of bass reverberating from within. Fabio yelled at us in an attempt to be heard over the loud music “I’d go check out the girls “he yelled and advanced into the ball room. I felt Arman hold my waist and signal for me to follow him. “What about Simon?”I yelled I asked when I turned to see he was nowhere to be found. “He’d join us soon.He needs a decoy also” I nodded in understanding. We walked through the bustling crowd,the neon lights highlighting the dance floor. “Over there”Arman said and I followed his gaze. He was referring to the vip section.The music volume seemed fair from this axis. My heart flipped as we m

    Estella’s pov I turned to see Arman walked to my side albeit admiring the suite we had booked minutes earlier. The porter that followed behind moved our suitcases to the closet area and made a quiet exit .An expansive 50-square-meter executive suite with a king-sized canopy bed, offering breathtaking floor-to-ceiling views of the city skyline and a marble en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub. The thought of sharing a bed with Arman made my heart flip for the umpteenth time. But I didn’t want him to leave my side ever because I didn’t know how tonight was going to end. I had a little knowledge about the clash between mafia families. I had watched a lot of movies pertaining them too when I was little and so I hoped Arman was right when he said it was a friendly meeting. “This is good”I said lightly as I moved to view the busy city. “Tell me about it”Arman said and moved to hold my waist from behind.In reaction to that,the world stopped for a minute and I felt instantly ca

    Estella’s pov“Are you sure you want to go ahead with this?Arman was saying as I got back to reality.We had just arrived at New York and we were on our way to the hotel that Simon had booked earlier.I had been thinking about his conversation with Simon last night.There was a possibility that he loved me and Simon did too.This wasn’t good and I had to do something about it.“Yeah sure”I said and rubbed his arms.He shut the center console of the car and leaned close to me.“Come here”he said tugging at my sleeves.I obliged him and took his lips slowly loving the taste of the alcohol that simmered his lips.“You kiss so good”he said after we locked lips for some minutes.I chuckled and slipped my hands through his.“I need to ask you something “I said“What’s that?”“Why did you move away a year ago?”I saw a lot of expressions pass through his face all at once.I might’ve pricked a nerve.“It was a rash decision.Father cheated and that was the start of it all,I got so upset that I

    Arman’s pov The maids and Chefs did their usual ritual of serving the meals they had prepared for dinner,leaving in tow as soon as they finished .I looked up at the sound of someone else walking in and almost felt my breath seize. It was Estella and I wasn’t expecting to see her walk in,dressed up in the way that she did.The sight of her cleavage was just a tip of the iceberg because she was a beauty in that black dress.She let her hair down and I always loved when she did so.She was a poem without words,timeless and captivating.I liked the way her olive skin played compatible with the black dress on her. Mama accepted her pleasantries and offered her a seat ”please take a seat dear “she said smiling hardly. I stared in utmost confusion wondering what was going on. “Hi Estella.”Simon said turning his full attention to her. I almost wanted to smack out the smile on his face because I could see he was impressed too. “Hi Simon.” “Welcome back.Sorry I was out at the farm

    Estella’s pov I had just taken what seemed to be a two minutes nap when I heard someone knock vigorously on my door.I groaned inwardly and moved to open the door. “Look at you!”Heather chirped as she let herself in. “Hey”I mumbled feeling woozy from the effect of my interrupted sleep. “I got your texts and I’m so Sorry I missed your call ,I was so busy with trying to set up a menu for the family’s dinner tonight” “It’s okay”I said giving her a weak smile. I rubbed my eyes and moved to sit on my bed. “How was your vacation with Arman?” She said with much enthusiasm. I laughed and shrugged”I had a good time and I got to know about my roots.Uncle George gave us a five star treatment and I got to meet my parents” “Really?That’s so good to know,how are they?” “Dead,Heather.Dead but I made peace with the fact that I’d never see them till eternity “ “I’m so sorry Estella.I know how it feels losing a parent talk less of both parents.Are you okay?” “Yeah sure”I said tr

    Estella’s pov “I hope you’d give me five stars albeit me being a good escort”Arman said in a teasing tone as we walked down to the mansion lobby. I scoffed in mockery.”You bet”I snapped. The maids hurried around to pick up our belongings.I noticed the cold stare from Lois and her two musketeers. “We should go check on mama.Let her know we’re back also”Arman said oblivious of what was happening.I wobbled in my steps as I hurried to his side “Yeah sure”I muttered But I knew this what going to happen.If I wanted Arman to fall in love with me,things would get public so it was now or never. I slipped my hands through his as we walked to the private quarters. Arman knocked and opened the door after some seconds.He made way for me to come in and did likewise. Ma Esmeralda was nowhere to be found.Her room had a touch of light colors.She had installed some potted flowers in her rooms making it look dainty. “Ma Esmeralda?I called out loudly “Over here!”I heard a placid v
