*Alexis*
Ride back home was filled with my favorite playlist and me acting like a crazy teenage girl screaming song lyrics inside my car. Arriving home fast was a relief as New York is famous for her traffic jams. Back home, I sighed and took off my shoes throwing them in some cupboard. I made my way to the kitchen and treated myself with a glass of red wine so that I can calm my nerves after my intense exercising before.
Between the path to my bedroom and bathroom I stripped down parts of my clothes resulting in me being fully naked as I reached the shower. The cold water hitting my skin made me shiver a bit in the beginning but after it was a pleasant feeling. Most people hate cold showers but for me they were my daily routine. Continuing I shampooed my jet black wavy hair brushing my fingers through them. As I
moved on to my body, he invaded my thoughts creating a wetness down there.
Imagining his tattooed hands running through my body, caressing every inch of it. Imagining his tongue sucking my clit. Oh God, I needed to get laid and fast.
While blow-drying my hair, a notification caught my eye. Checking my phone, I ran across a text message from an unknown number.
"You have been invited to the Black&White Club for an unforgettable night. This is your VIP code so that you can treat yourself with free drinks and private dancers for your pleasure. The code is 45572837. We are waiting for you! Don't miss out this one in a lifetime opportunity to make your wildest fantasies come true ;)!"
My luck is untouchable. An unforgettable, hot, steamy night was all I craved for. And in a VIP room with my exotic dancers, well I have to look bomb. Skipping the rest of the text messages, I jumped to my closet and picked out the Bachelorette dress as Lisa called it. This dress got you a man in no time. It was a shimmery mini dress with an exposing front which complimented my cleavage godly.
For my hair I chose to contain them in a low sleeked back ponytail. For my makeup I went for bold eyes, a cat eyeliner, whilst for lips a nude lip gloss. And the finishing touch, some silver simple heels.
As I didn't feel like driving, I summoned a limousine. The driver couldn't get hi eyed and we nearly escaped a car-crash. Before getting out, I gave him a kiss on the cheek and thanked him for his services. He blushed, his face was so red. I giggled and closed the door. I found myself in front of a luxurious modern building which was densely crowded. People waiting in line, pleading the doorman to let them in. Others bribed him but still they didn't manage to pass. Looking around, I took a deep breath, unlocked my phone and walked confidently to the doorman.
His glare met mine and his jaw-dropped. I smirked and gave him my code. Without even taking notice to it he let me in. His eyes sparkled every time I looked at him. To tease him a bit, I bowed down pretending to be fixing my heel. I sense his breathing getting heavier as I sensually stoop up facing him. I smiled widely and entered the club.
Let's talk about crowded!
But it wasn't long since a waiter came by, asking me to follow him to the VIP section. I walked behind him, nodding at him to lead the way. We walked through a glassy corridor. My heels clutching against the floor.
"This is your suite. I will be your waiter for the night. If you need anything, don't hesitate." He held the curtain for me to step in.
"What's your name, handsome?" He was taken aback by my comment. I could see the shock on his face.
"Xavier, Miss Alessandro" He replied while adjusting a glass of whiskey for me.
"See it's only fair I know your name too" I glanced at him. He offered me my drink and kindly left the room.
After some time, I was getting bored so I decided to explore a bit. Stepping out of my suite and observing my surroundings. A cute bartender just meters away in between the suites caught my eye. I moved to the direction of the bar when a familiar silhouette lurked in the dark. I could feel its gaze on me, memorising every curve, every part, every movement of my body. Ignoring it I went straight to the bar. The bartender seemed an appropriate toy for me to play for the night.
"My lady what can I get you?" The bartender took an immediate interest in me.
"What do you offer?" I turned my body to him, crossing my legs while adjusting my body on the stool.
"Anything for a woman like you" He smiled craftily.
"Promising. I see." I said leaning closer to him, exposing my cleavage even more. "A martini, dirty, with two olives" I demanded.
Feeling the intense glare of the dark silhouette stabbing me on my neck. Turning my head slightly at his direction so I could make out his face. He was nowhere to be found, until I felt a dominant presence behind me. Breathing on my neck and gazing at my profile.
"Glad you accepted my invitation Miss Alessandro" The man sat to the stool next to me, never unlocking his eyes off my body.
"Mr. Valentine, I thought the name of the club rang a bell" Flipping my ponytail, I gave him a smile.
"I thought it was decent that I celebrate the commence of our partnership" Nodding at the bartender who flicked in fear upon his glare.
"I was just doing my job Mr. Valentine. No need for exaggerations, but thank you for you invitation" I stated leaving no room for excuses. I wanted to figure out the deeper essence of why I was here tonight.
"Here is the martini for the lady and your usual Mr. Valentine" The bartender politely interrupted passing us our drinks. Mr.Valentine, Zyan, shot him a deadly glare. He coughed rephrasing my pronounce as Miss Alessandro.
"Outside the office it's Alexis. Thank you Jordan" I corrected with an irritated tone. "Mr. Valentine, hope you enjoy your night!" I stood up and walked away to my suite. Before I could enter my suite, I felt a grip on my left wrist holding me back.
"I will enjoy my night, Alexis, with you" He whispered to my ear, sending chills down my spine.
Hope you liked this chapter!
Mr. Valentine is going right for the kill...
Hello my beautiful darlings! Thank you all for showing that much love on my first book EVER! It has been quite the ride writing it and reading your comments and I must say you guys made my boring school nights much more interesting. I felt obligated to explain my choice to end the story in such a way. Through personal experience I have learned that love is one of the most heartbreaking and painful feelings a human can ever experience because it leaves you powerless and vulnerable to a possible destruction. And that's the beauty of it of course, the beauty of living the journey no matter the destination, a journey that consumes you and scars you forever. It is difficult to find the right person with which you will click and feel as if at home. The person who you will not feel ashamed being yourself. The person who will encourage you to own who you are, all your dark parts. Your soulmate. Most of the times people don't get to find this person while they are alive and end up searchi
*Alexis*"I know, baby. But what can I say? I will see you soon though. Take care of Ryan and yourself. Love you. Bye!" I have just arrived in Italy. No suitcase, no baggages, just my purse and that smile that is plastered on my face. I was talking with Jonathan and I know it was horrible lying to him but I couldn't tell him the truth. Maybe it was selfish but... Walking out of the airport to the lobby room where people were expecting their beloveds ones, I saw a man holding a card with my name on it. I approached him and he escorted me to the black SUV which was parked outside. Two other cars following us packed with men."Your protection miss Alessandro." He confirmed while I was putting my seatbelt on. I hadn't changed my last name, didn't want to and fortunately Jonathan was okay with that. Only if he knew the reason... The reason that to this day is that only one man would have the luxury of doing that. And I would adore the way it would sounded. Alexis Valentine. "You have a s
*10 years later* *Alexis and Zayn have broken up and they haven't spoken since then* *Alexis*"Jonathan!" I called from where I stood in the kitchen. He rushed into the room, approaching me. It was currently 8AM in the morning and we were all preparing for work and school. Me and Jonathan are now married and we have a beautiful six year old son named Ryan. Those two boys saved me from waiting that promise to be fulfilled and do nothing else with my life. Now they are my life. "Can you pick Ryan up from school today? I have a conference meeting and I will be late." I said putting some coffee in my mouth. "Sure, my love." He wrapped a hand around my waist, stealing a kiss from me. "You're beautiful." He kissed me once again, before the little devil stepped into the kitchen. "Ewww don't." Ryan screamed and we laughed backing away from each other. "You know you're lucky you're not old enough to teach you how babies are made." Jonathan took himinto his arms, lifting him up. I chuckl
*Zayn*"The Italian mafia is grateful for your help, Ivan." I patted his shoulder and he chuckled taking a sip of his scotch. It had been a while since I had last seen Alexis and my eyes trailed off to the room searching for her. When I had gone over it twice and didn't find her... my heart started racing. I excused myself fromthe conversation and eased my nervousness with optimistic thoughts such as the possibility of her being in the ladies room or sleeping upstairs in our room. I hoped but hopes never truly match the raw character of reality. I saw my step mother entering the ball room, the colour on her face to was drained away. Her eyes going over the people in the room, searching for someone when they eventually landed on me. Swallowing, her eyes were deprived of the light that dominated them earlier. Something was wrong. I walked rapidly towards while she remained immobile, not having the power to move. "Mama..." I called her. Once I had reached her, she dragged me away fr
*Zayn*"Zayn!" Luciana squealed throwing her arms around me. She took me into a tight hug and I felt Alexis tensing at our proximity from behind. My Princess cleared her throat and remained silent, having trust in me. She trusted me. And I-I didn't know how to trust her with this. I didn't know how to trust that she wouldn't leave me after finding out. "Hey Luciana." I coughed, breaking the hug and taking a step back so that there was some distance between us. Luciana furrowed her eyebrows at my slight nervousness looking behind me to the goddess sitting by the bar next to my dad. "Who is she?" Her voice softened and her smile faded away replaced with an expression of confusion. "She is..." I let out a breath, rubbing my temples with the tips of my fingers. "My girlfriend." Luciana's eyes widened in surprise. I wasn't the one to date. I didn't at least before I met my princess. "Zayn, I thought we had agreed not to-" She was about to finish her sentence and I shook my head interr
*Alexis*The next thing I know... I'm drowned in an ocean of fabrics, jewelry, shoes, lipsticks and different haircuts. All offered to me by the stylist team that Zayn had assigned for my preparing for the ball the following week. The days passed in the most exciting way, I must admit. And the dress who was exclusively made for me and only me was breathtaking and one of a kind. Zayn hadn't seen me in it and he wasn't about to until the ball night. The castle boomed with life. People from all the walks of life occupying the corridors. All of them doing their duty and making sure the ball room would look out of this world. And when I visited it the morning before the ball, my jaw was on the floor. The work that had been done was perfect. Simple perfection. The theme of the ball was 'the touch of darkness', mysterious and luxurious the ball awaited for its guests.The evening before the ball was a beautiful mess. I was on chair for more than three hours. Makeup and hair, it was a war of
