LOGINLeaving~
Damien "The Club is going fine and i still think that there's a need for strippers." My best friend said and I nod. The board meeting has been on ever since I stepped into the company. I'm so fucking tired and I need sleep. "What about the hotels?" I question. "Going perfectly well. Although we still need more hand services at the East Chain, there shouldn't be a problem assigning young adults who are in need of jobs at times like this." He says again. I nod. Suddenly, memory of the other night comes flashing back. Her on her knees, giving me a head. The most innocent head I've ever gotten but I still cummed like a high school boy in heat. Just her on her knees, looking up at me with those doe eyes was enough to send me flying to my orgasm. I groan. Like literally groaned in front of nine people that were seated in front of me. "Are you okay, Sir? Do you not like the proposal?" Mr Grey, my secretary asks as he lowers the file in his hand. I look around and it was only us. "Where are they others?" I scowl. "You ordered them to leave, Sir." He says. "I ask them to leave?" I question and he nods, confuse. Wow! Just who the hell was that girl and how is she affecting my life like this. Her face. I remember her face but how the hell would I look for her with her face when I don't even know her name. Her name isn't written on the ledger in my club and the CCTV didn't catch her either. "You really need to get laid one of this days, Damien." My best friend, Edward says walking into the meeting room. "What do you mean by that?" "Really? We were in a meeting but your head was somewhere else. Probably thinking about the innocent girl, huh?" "I don't waste my time thinking about things that does not involve money, Edward. Moreover, I need to leave for Los Angeles today, about the meeting." I say and sigh. "See? This is exactly what I'm talking about. You do not need to go to that meeting, Damien. You want to go so you'd clear your head of the innocent girl." He scoffs. "She's not the only innocent girl in the world, Damien. Go to the club and get shagged. She's interfering in your business and trust me man, it's not a good one." "Get back to work, Mr Edward." I order and he nods, glaring at me. I stand and walk out of the meeting room, soon or later I'll find her and there's nothing on Earth that can prevent that from happening. Cassandra The whole company knows, I'm probably sure even my stepmother knows as well. The sneers I got when I walked out of the company was so humiliating. I drove to Dexter's house. I will wait for him till he's back from work and we'll discuss it with more calmness. I love Dexter so much. He has always been there for me ever since highschool. We had began to plan our marriage since we met in school and I'm sure everything he said today was just out of anger. I place my hand on my cheek and rub the part he slapped. It hurt thinking about it. He has never once raised his hand on me. I sit on the chair of the balcony upstairs and wait. Time fly by and it was already Seven in the night. I sigh in relief when his car drives into his space and he steps out. The other door opens as well and Johanna steps out, laughing. 'What is she doing here?'I wonder, stepping closer. Maybe they have files to work on and couldn't do it in the office. Johanna walks towards Dexter and kisses his lips. I gasp, blinking to see whether I was dreaming or not. What is happening? Why did she kiss him and why did he not react or push her away. They both walk into the Mansion but I just stand there with my eyes open and my mouth agape. Dexter is cheating on me with Johanna? Maybe he's using her so she won't tell her mother about my pregnancy? "You slapped her?" I heard her ask and begin to laugh. "I slapped her so hard, she stumbled back and fell on the floor. Such a fúcking slút! Did she expect me to smile at her and pat her stomach?" I heard him say. Each word sent a jabbing pain into my heart. How can he say those things about me! Especially to the second person i hate the most. How can he do this to me? The tears I had been holding begins to fall like a river. "They company isn't hers anymore. I helped your mother to push her out. Right now, even the lowest person in the company has more right to the company than her." He says again, laughing loudly. "She's so dumb. I mean we've been in a relationship for years and she never caught on to it. I swear you can kiss me right in front of her and tell her shit and she'll still believe you. A fucking love puppy." Johanna bust into laughter. A sob leaves my throat but I clamp my hand over my mouth, as I step back from the balcony. I know everywhere in the house, so locating the backdoor isn't a problem. I walk out of the house, and out of his space. I am now on the road, crying my eyes out as I head to nowhere in particular. I dial Bianca's line and she picks up quickly. "Girl! Where the hell have you been? I've been calling and texting and searching for you." She says, worriedly. "I'm sorry, please come pick me up." I sob into the phone and the call got disconnected. Dexter, who made me feel like he loved me. Johanna, who insults and humiliates me everytime she gets the chance. My stepmother, who took my company from me and insults me every single time. Today marks the last day they would use me like this. Like I'm some shit. I'm going to make them pay. I'm going to be that evil queen that they've never seen. And I'll start by destroying the only thing the want so badly. My company. I'll destroy it with my own hands. TBCCHAPTER FOURTEEN The Arrangement~Cassandra "Maybe we should talk."There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Damien finally answered. "Okay, but it'll be tomorrow. I'm preoccupied at the moment." "Tomorrow?"Dang it! I wanted to talk right now. The need to blurt everything out at once was burning its way up my throat."Yes.""But I need to talk about this now.""You're the one who took your time calling me."I frowned even though he couldn't see me. "I didn't take my time and why wouldn't I think about it...you just offered to be a husband for hire. Anyone would be cautious about why a powerful man like yourself would put yourself out there like that...no offence." "None taken, but you did take your time. If a stranger were to offer the same thing. Wouldn't you take it the moment it was offered?" I glared at the phone as though he could see me."How would you know?""Because I know you."I almost laugh
CHAPTER THIRTEEN Beg~Cassandra I stared at Bianca, my eyes bulging as she disclosed what we termed a secret a few minutes ago."Excuse me?""I said she's looking for a husband." She replied casually, and I almost choked. "Bianca!" I nudged her arm, and she only shrugged. "What? It's true."I looked at Damien, and the worst part was that he wasn't laughing. He was staring at me with those deep blue eyes, looking as though he was actually considering what she'd just said.I cleared my throat. "It's not exactly like that.""Then what is it like?" Damien asked, his eyes on me now.It was one thing to speak with him without his eyes on me, and then another to speak with those eyes fixated on me.It made me... nervous, though I wouldn't say it out loud.I looked at him. "I need a husband temporarily. That's all."Bianca nodded beside me. "Exactly, and we're looking for prospects, in case you have someone in mind." I glared at her,
Chapter 12 Husband For Hire~Cassandra I pushed the file aside and signed my name on the lease contract."Is everything set?" I asked.Mr Shaw placed the file into the box before dropping another one onto my table for me to sign."Everything should be set. I’ll check with the decorators, and we received another shipment of supplies from Milan this morning. It won’t take long before our rivals start sniffing under our skirts."I laughed out loud."They shouldn’t. But make sure no one knows where it comes from. I spoke with Wren, and she’s cool with it."Mr Shaw nodded.Alessio, Ethan, and Bianca had decided to spend the whole week with their father. I was jealous at first, but then… it felt good knowing they had someone other than me.Closing the deal on the building I needed to acquire was only five steps away.I needed a husband.A husband for hire.Bianca had helped me screen a few men, and we would be meeting them today.I d
Chapter 11 Waves~CassandraI should have said no. The moment Damien mentioned a small gathering at his beach house and casually invited the triplets and me, I should have said no.But somehow, here I was. Standing in front of a house so massive it looked like it belonged in magazines, with the ocean stretching endlessly behind it.The triplets came down from the car with their little backpack strapped on their back.I was doing this only for the children. I mean...my kids love their father, so coming here would only make them happy.So why do I feel as though I could hear my heart beating in my chest?"Damn, he's so fucking rich. The tabloids got their facts wrong. Cause if this is a small Beach house, I'm wondering how the big one will be like." Bianca commented on the view."Or are you sure we're at the right address?" "He's a Billionaire, Bianca. This should fit his net worth just fine." I said, ignoring her exaggerated
Chapter 10 Investor~CassandraVeloura Jewel, Beads and Fabrics was fast developing, and I couldn't be prouder.It was mind-blowing, knowing all these are a product of my hard work.Mr Shaw released the pin, and I smiled at the beautiful artwork I'd been embroidering since morning.This would be our new release to the public, and I needed it to be perfect.It's a blue Barbie-style dress, fitted at the bodice with a smooth satin sheen, hugs the waist before flaring into a soft, layered tulle skirt. The fabric is a pastel sky-blue, light and dreamy, with a subtle shimmer that catches the light when you move the embroidery. Thin straps sit neatly on the shoulders, and the neckline curves gently into a soft heart shape. The skirt falls in airy waves, almost floating, giving it a playful, princess-like feel, elegant but still youthful and enchanting.It feels amazing knowing I embroidered this in a few hours.I've always had t
Chapter 9 Fun Day Out With Papa~Cassandra The company I acquired here in New York was doing well. A good manager was all it took to put my work on solid ground, and Mr Shaw was the finest, most perfect manager one could ever wish for. The man was perfect in every way, and I was glad I met him that day at the airport.I glanced at my laptop once again and sighed."Are you sure this isn’t some scam?" I asked again, squinting at the laptop as Bianca increased the brightness.She had given herself a one-week rest from her company, and it seemed my house was the best place to crash for a week, not that I was complaining; I missed her so much.Bianca rolled her eyes so hard I thought they might fall out."For the tenth time, Cassandra, no. Big investors don’t send scams through registered law firms.""They don't, right? But they certainly don't use anonymous until they meet with the owner."I narrowed my eyes at the email again, my fin
Chapter 7 Every~CassandraThere are times I think life was meant to be unfair.If everything was fine and daisy, there would be no hell for people who had deranged thoughts in their mind and sickling unquenchable thirst for power and more
