HER STRANGE ENCOUNTER WITH A BILLIONAIRE

Low melodramatic rocky blues boomed softly in the scanty bar, the dim purple lighting hue reflected gloominess in the room as well as in the glass cup filled with white wine on the bar top. It seemed just the right place to ponder about one's sorrows.It was as though movie reels were being played in her reddened and moist eyes the way they glinted as she stared in a loss ahead without focus. Val's gaze was latched onto her past. It had only been sweet and lovely up until few hours ago. Those butterfly flutters that used to exist in her stomach now ached and caused her discomfort. She had been a fool and a sucker for love, and had been made a jester for being devoted to marriage.Val could vividly remember the first time that bastard of a husband broke his vows... It was a day that everyone had their rests at home after the long hours of almost endless work throughout the weekdays. Mark had just gotten promoted at work and they had decided to celebrate it in their home, being a Satur

The ray of sunlight that peeked through the window was too bright for Val's eyelids to bear. She couldn't help but flutter her eyes open, feeling heavier in the head than any other part of her body. She winced and placed a finger on her temple at the numbing ache of her head from the night before's hangover. She could feel the sheets clinging unto her body tightly under the duvet. The stink of alcohol and sex eroded her nostril.She looked to her side on the bed only to find a vacant rough bedsheet which indicated that someone had been there just earlier.'He is... gone?' Somehow, a small scent of him mixed with the pungent odor around reminded her of last night. Even if she had been drunk and it had all been a blurry pleasure rife, she could still remember quite a large part of the details and even more surprising was how she didn't regret any part of it. Nonetheless, It didn't seem like the stranger she was with from the night before was in the washroom. He had really left just like

The few strands of orange hue left by the sunset that painted the sky of Mission district in an avid and passionate evening picturesque could be seen from the rooftop of the steakhouse. The soft breeze of dusk after a relatively sunny day blew gently across and around, causing a relaxing atmosphere. It was so relative to a short holiday after an actual work day. Certainly the perfect place to be, and thus, it was crowded- almost all seats were filled.Patiently waiting for her stranger to come put all her questions in settle, Val sat staring at a point, obviously lost in thought. The environment had her feeling less perplexed and her previously messy thought became much more clear. She was relaxed in the scenery and Val took the time to enjoy the scenery with a glass of margarita set on the table in front of her.Val picked up the margarita, sipped and stared down at the street from above. The lights blessed the evening and created a contrast between the dusk above and the livelihood b

Few weeks later A luxurious car rolled up in front of a towering dazzling modern commercial building made of more glass than walls. The driver hurried out of the matte black car and hurried to open the back door. A handsome middle-aged man well dressed in a deep blue blazer over a black turtle neck shirt and matching pants, stepped out of the car in his shiny black shoes. His black shiny hair was finely slicked back. Bob stood to tuck on his suit and turned around to offer a hand to the other person in the car. A long slender arm extended out of the car and was gently placed on the man’s hand. The man stepped back as a beautiful blonde lady dressed in white blazers worn over a black formal gown with a small black purse to match, stepped out of the car in leather black sandal heels. Bob smiled at the lady and said to her. “Are you ready, Val?” Valerie who seemed a little below the age of thirty retracted her hands from the gentleman’s and nodded her head as she said. “ I can’t wa

Bob stared in silence at his wife for a long while with a delighted smirk on his angular face. Courtney didn't back down either as she glared with a frown on her face at Bob. From Val's perspective, it only seemed like the couple were having a conversation with their gazes. Val just watched this without expressing much of her worry, despite what she was feeling inside. " It's simple..." Bob broke his stare with his wife and turned to face Val as he spoke. " Miss Val here is a very talented asset, and I've gone the extra mile to convince her to put in her talent for our company"' Miss Val?' Courtney creased her gaze." I want her to take the position of Managing director Parrish"Courtney's previously calm expression instantly bittered after hearing Bob's words. She couldn't help but let her eyes widen in utter shock. She stared at Bob like he was crazy or something. However, seeing his firm demeanor, She looked towards the so-called " Miss Val" with extreme prying intent in her gaz
