I didn't have one true but I had a receptionist who played the role of a receptionist and a personal assistant.A particular redhead…I could give it to her but would she want to come? I knew the answer to that, I'd like to see her argue and I'll break it to her that I was the boss and it was mandatory.I wasn't lying, Mike Taylor was a big name, and honoring his invitation simply meant he'll honor mine.

I didn't speak gemstones but I knew those were rare and most have cost a fortune.He was one of them. The top dogs.I let go of his hand realizing I had been shaking it for too long.“Sorry,” I mumbled.“It's okay,” he assured me. “As long as you are not a thief who is going to try to cut off my hand later”Wow!Joke or not, I felt insulted by it.“Oh my God, I just realized how terrible that must have sounded.

Caden’s POVIt was daring of her to wear that dress and not receive the attention she was getting now. But I couldn't understand why she didn't seem to notice the attention she was receiving, I couldn't understand why she seemed so careful - almost scared as if someone was watching her.Why?When I stopped to greet a group of senators, Anna looked like she was going to pass out.

It was once and she was among the few women who didn't take it as anything serious. It made me like her genuinely.Dove introduced me to some of her friends.

Anna’s POVDid I cross the line? maybe I had a little but I just followed him into the car, unable to say anything.I sat at the farthest end of the passenger seat, I was afraid that if I sat too close or something he would hit me.His jaw clenched and his fists were clenched in a vice grip on the wheel and he looked so angry as if this entire situation was my fault, which it kind of was.After a minute of silence, I thought of speaking but nothing came out of my mouth. What could I possibly say that was going to make any difference? We got home and he parked by the side of the street, I was contemplating if I should just say good night or apologize.“I am sorry, I got so caught up in my head that I crossed the line, I shouldn’t have said those things…” My voice was a whisper barely audible but I didn’t get any reaction from him, he was staring straight out of the car like he had suddenly seen something interesting and not paying me any attention like I was saying bullshits.“Goodnig

My cousin Sean - her son was coming back home today from Spain and I wanted to go with her to welcome him at the airport.“Pierre” my aunt called me by my middle name, just like Mama would before throwing her hands round my neck “How are you dear?” she asked between the hug.She had always looked so much like my mama. I tried to push it away.It didn't matter whether they had identical faces, they were not the same people. That was it. Nothing more nothing less.“I am doing alright, Aunt Marie, how are you?” I hugged her back with one arm.“I haven't changed in years and still haven't changed since the past weeks you saw me,” she chuckled, pulling away from the embrace. “You didn't want to come to see me,'' she said.“I'm here now,” I said grinning and pulling back the seat next to me to give her space and let her sit down.We chatted casually over some food. We talked for a long time catching up, I tol

I laughed so hard at her that I trickled a bit.Has Danny suddenly become a girl? I shook my head amusedly like I didn't know what Erica was capable of.I liked how adorable both Erica and Danny were but I don't think I could survive dealing with both of them, they were surely going to drive me crazy with their mushiness, and their wildness.I cringed as she made me stand in front of her while she dressed me up as if I was some Barbie doll against all my protests “Stop fidgeting” she whined while she put the dress on me.She wore a black leather skirt and a tight red top that showed off her curves.

Caden’s POVSean was currently telling me about his messy breakup with some Angie chick in Madrid who cheated on him with another guy and even had an affair with one of Sean’s friends.He sounded upset but I wasn't sure if I was hearing things because he usually wasn't a talkative person, compared to Sebastian.Three chicks on the opposite side of the Vip section kept throwing their eyes at me and Sean.It was quite funny actually, especially when they were so pretty and sexy like most women here.I couldn't understand why they were trying so hard to send those unnecessary signals.“Hey check out the red-haired sitting over there” Sean whispered to me.And by the mention of red-haired, only one person came to my mind.I followed his gaze and it landed on her.I cleaned my eyes just to be sure my vision was not playing tricks on me.Anna was here?She seemed so engrossed in whatever she was doing with her phone.“Fuck” I muttered.“What’s wrong, do you know her?” Sean asked me.“Not e
