PROLOGUEThere he stood, I looked up at him from the bed. Classy suit, shiny polished shoes, hair well combed, Rolex watch attached to his wrist like it was specially meant for him, his face, oh his face always shone, his brows so thick that it really brought out his skin color, his deep grey eyes looking down at me. His nose pointed with pride, his lips well curved and calling to me, his scent intoxicating, the smell of money all over him didn't go unnoticed. Whomever brought him into existence really took their time on him. He was made perfect. When he smiles at me, I swear I could see a tooth shine. My typical man, my spec. Rich, handsome, stylish and dominant. Even his scent is dominating, when am around him, I seize to think properly. He seems to have been made specially for me. He looked at me and smiled."Are you ready for me?" He asked, his voice deepAm I ready? Like you have to ask. I am always ready for you."Always" I replied with a welcoming smileI can't wait for him to
My name is Mia, am 28 years old and am a divorce lawyer. I'm the type of girl that like to follow my heart, do the right thing and never lose focus. I am the first female lawyer to ever get hired in the Joel Law Firm. Joel Law Firm is one of the top 3 law firms in the country, and hires only the best and so far I haven't disappointed, I have been doing great, I have made more money for the firm and myself in such a short period, my boss is proud of me but I know he was just keeping my around till I was no longer useful to his pocket, he isn't the type to respect women not to talk of the ones in my profession. Becoming a lawyer and being hired by one of the top firms was a dream come true and a great achievement on my part, I mean I trained and worked my ass off for this, I deserved the win. I am so proud of myself and my achievement. I always wanted more out of life, so much more. I needed to be perfect. I like flashy things, flashy houses, flashy cars, flashy wears, anything flashy
I was still thinking of how to approach the matter when I saw my boss passing through. I hesitated to call him to talk but I have to do it anyways, the sooner the better. I made up my mind to talk to him, so I rushed towards him to speak to him. Seeing me approaching and calling out to him, he only slowed down but didn't really stop."Sir, I need to talk to you" I said as I followed behind him. Mr Edward is my boss, his interest has always been towards money, he didn't hold much respect for women. If my records weren't outstanding he wouldn't have considered giving me the job. He doesn't believe I should be here working with them but I make good money for him so he overlooks it."What are you doing? She's waiting, you shouldn't keep her waiting" he said to me with a frown showing he is displeasedMy heart skipped a beat seeing him like that but then I reminded myself that I had no choice so I have to push forward."Yes, I know, but I just need to tell you something before I go back
Later that evening, Tiana and I went out for a drink. We ordered two shots of tequila. I didn't waste any time before taking it, after the day I just had, I needed it.“Girl, what am I going to do?" I asked her taking a sip of my drink“What else did she say?" she asked me “I mean some of everything. The man she described...She said he yells at her and he belittles her and...I mean, I've never seen any of that" I replied taking another sip "Mia, you can't take that lady's case" she said. It sounded almost like a yell"I know" I replied almost at the same tone"Do you?" she asked looking seriously at me. I know she's trying to help but she can be bossy sometimes"Of course I do, I'm just gonna go back to the office and am going to tell them that I can't do it" I replied even though I know it wasn't going to be easy with my money minded boss. I just really hope he would listen to me this time."What reason will you give them?" Tiana asked as she ordered more shots for us“You're gonn
I was in my sitting room pacing around anxiously. I have been calling and texting Liam for a few days now but he never responded. Out of nowhere he called me today, some hours earlier and said he wanted to come over. He ghosted me and now he is requesting to come here?. After his wife showed up at my office for the divorce, i have wanted to talk to him about it, but wasn't able to reach him for some reason. I needed to know the truth about him. Am I being played“Hey, baby” Liam greeted as he walked into the room.He came over and tried to kiss me but I just turned my face to the side letting his kiss fall on my cheek. Seeing this he paused and looked at me as if questioning me."You shouldn't be here" I said to him with a straight face, watching his reaction.He took a step back from where I was standing in other to get a better view of my face.“What do you mean?” he asked examining me"I mean, you need to leave" I said looking right at him. I have been through enough for this guy.
A little while later I heard my phone ring, seems so close to me but yet further away from me, it felt like a dream then suddenly I realized my phone was actually ringing and it wasn't a dream, I slept off on the couch. I looked at the time and it was late. Who could be calling me at this time? I asked myself while getting up slowly."Hey” I whispered after answering the call, without taking a look at who was calling“What's wrong?” Ana asked in a worried tone“He came to this damn house" I said to her in an angry tone while placing my palm on my forehead“What did he say?” She asked, I could feel the vibration in her voice"Just a bunch of bullshit, I am so mad at him" I replied"Okay, I know you must be" She said while trying to calm me down"I just want to fuck him up" I said to her“Mia, that ain't you girl, come on now, you can do better than that” She replied"I believed him" I said to her as fresh tears began to roll down my eyes again"I know" She said with a soft voice“Don't
Hey, that's beautiful I said to her, my compliment wasn't honest even for a bit"Thank you" She repliedIn truth, my heart sank, I couldn't help but feel immerse envy. She continued while looking at the ring again in order to keep tormenting me"Heh, it's crazy that I thought that he checked out" I said to her with a fake smile"Mmm" she expressed “Heh am sorry to have wasted your time" She said "No, you didn't waste my time" I said to her“Well, that's kind of you to say that" She replied"I meant it" I said to her but I had the opposite in mind“I'm sure the bill will say otherwise" She said laughing"Sorry" I said to her with a smile"No, no" She replied “This is a good day then" I said to her, yet very unhappy about the situation“I know this is disappointing for you" She said feeling sorry that I lost a client but I feel like I lost more than my client, am I going to also lose my Liam? will I ever see him and his smoking masculine body again?"No No, not at all" I replied her “
Then she invited me to her office so that we could talk more privately."Hey, girl" She called me "I was just on my way over" She added“No need" I replied her in a sad tone“You took off?” She asked in surprise"I was forced off" I replied her“What happened?” She asked looking more surprised, I started to feel the tears i have been holding back rush down my chins"Okay, Okay Come on” She said with the aim of making me stop crying"Okay" I replied her as I wiped up my face because I knew she didn't want me crying“What happened?” She asked again"My boss told me to leave" I said to her with a sad tone“Did he find out about your relationship with Liam?” She asked"He already knows" I replied "I mean, kind of" I added to give her more clarity"I told you that" She said to me"Mm-hmm" I reacted while nodding my head“I was upset, and he didn't want the partners to see me" I said to her“I like the way he's looking out for you" She said trying to encourage me that maybe that was the rig
