I was just returning from a meeting when I saw the man Pete let me know he was going to be training Mae with. He was exiting the empty hall area at the rear of the mansion.I assumed Pete was done with Mae for the day and went towards the hall. I walked in and neither of them noticed my presence, they were busy.I decided to make my way up the stairs to get a better view of what they were doing but I kept on stopping through the stairs to watch Mae counter most of Pete's moves against her.I was just getting to the top of the stairs when she gave Pete a kick against the head. That must hurt. My hands in my pockets, I watch them go on. Pete wanted to throw her off balance by lifting her and putting her behind him but she landed on her foot. I smiled, happy she didn't hit the ground but then that ended in me sucking my lower lip in between my teeth.Fuck, I would want to have a fixed fight with her if she fought back like this always. She looked up to the ceiling, making me wonder what
Mae had no idea how much that man loved her since he adopted her; he loved her more than his own son.When I was still a young little boy, I would feel so happy when he caressed my hair and called me a good kid but when I grew older, my mother let me know who my father was.It was then I understood why she was always having hushed-up conversations with him whenever he came to my mother's room in the maids' flat.I remember I had asked her if he knew I was his son and she said he did. He raped my mother and got her pregnant, then he ordered her to get rid of it but she didn't.She took a break from working at the mansion ‘to take care of her sick mother,’ then a year later, she came back with me.Daniel Yrote didn't know about me till I became old enough to walk and then one day, he took me to the doctor's. He got me chocolate on our way back to the mansion and when I returned, I found out that my mother had been looking for me, worried that I probably fell into a pit after she checked
The next day.I stood at the top of the stairs I was about to use. I just got a text from Pete, he had gone to the venue of the party to see that things were in order before I got there.I was still standing there when I heard the sound of heels kissing the tiled floor. I looked towards where the sound was coming from and saw Mae.Fuck. She was dressed in a black, flowing silky dress that had a deep v-cut neckline, exposing the peak of her cleavage above her breasts to a little below the middle of them too. As she approached me, I only got a close-up view of an angel dressed in black, swaying her hips as she took every step. Her makeup has been done and her bruises are now nonexistent. I can't always tell if she's trying to seduce me when she walks like that or if she's just used to walking like a goddamn model. She shouldn't be here, I know, she shouldn't be in a place like this, with an asshole like myself, she should be on a runway or something...but yet, I've chosen to trap her
At the venue of the party.The car Leo and I are in slows down as it gets closer to a decorated entrance. I kept my eyes out the window while we drove here quietly but I knew Leo's eyes didn't stop staring at me.I knew I should be annoyed with the way he's eyes had been salaciously fixed on me but I wasn't. It thrilled me actually. I was expecting that Leo would make me dress like one of his whores; I was expecting he would want me scantily cladded but earlier this morning, Anita knocked on my door and handed the dress I was to wear to me.I tested it with a long face but that changed into a smile when I saw how good the gown looked on me. I felt elegant. I haven't dressed like this since God knows when.Sometime later, a crew of makeup artists were in my room fixing up my face. When I walked out of my room later and met Leo at the top of the stairs, I assumed he would compliment how I looked but he didn't.This man held me so close and I, for some reason, got stupidly excited to be
Leo walked down the aisle leading away from his company into a car, his many protection squad standing side by side to salute him as he passed by.He got into the car and laid his head on the head rest with a sigh, he was tired, and needed sleep, he knew but resting wasn't an option for the past three days, there had been a lot to take care of.The car drove to the Vance mansion and the door was opened by the driver with a bow. Leo got down, pride within him as he walked into his mansion, his solely owned mansion. He was a proud man, an arrogant one at that but he knew he had the right to be; he worked day and night to have all he had and it didn't matter to him, the dreadful things he had to get involved in to make his money.He was on his way to his home office to have a look at some things before finally taking a rest tonight when his assistant hurried to meet up with him."Sir?" She called but didn't get any response so she hurried to him. She couldn't meet up as he had already en
"Don't let me ask again, what is your name?""I'm not supposed to say. I'm just here to satisfy..." She felt his hand around her throat and it cut her words short. She was going to repeat those words she was told to say when he came in and hoped it worked but he wasn't joking around."What is your name?" He showed her how serious he was now."Mae..." She slapped on his hands as he still held her by the throat."Mae who?" He asked again."I can't breathe..." She held on to his hand to try and get it away from her neck but it was impossible."Mae Yrote." She told him, hoping he would let go of her but he didn't."Who sent you?" He questioned on, he could tell she was honest with her name, she seemed to be an amateur at her game.Mae thought saying her name would save her from his tight grasp on her neck but when he didn't let go and asked another question, she knew she had to fight back, she had to recall how she was taught to defend herself.Seizing his hand with both of hers, she pulle
Morning."Anything from Mae yet?" Omar asked as he paced around the room having some of his agents on their devices. He had been trying to reach Mae, the girl he sent to get information off Leo Vance but to no avail.Her connection had been cut off since the night before. None of the agents in the room with him had being able to track her exact whereabouts; no one knew if she had successfully done the job she was meant to do or not."Not yet sir," someone came to him and saluted."The tracking device on her had been deactivated since last night, it's why we couldn't reach her but I just discovered that now.""Fuck." Omar cursed in annoyance."What about the other things on her? The microphone? Camera?""They too had being deactivated since last night.""Keep things in order here till I return." He designated to the man in front of him before picking up his suit jacket and leaving the room.***Omar stopped his car in front of The Vance Incorporation building and immediately got out. He
As she stood still in front of Omar, she was forced to remember the last night with Leo Vance. His breath on her skin, his non-negotiable words of finality to her.She had woken in the morning still on the chair she had slept on the night before. She had sat there waiting for Leo's return but he didn't come back that night so she slept off without knowing and when she woke up, she was in the same sofa she slept in, just that she wasn't in Leo's mansion anymore.She had woken up to find herself by the roadside with some people staring at her and wondering why she was there.After telling Omar all that happened last night between her and Leo Vance, she saw her superior clench his fist with a smile which she found uncanny and unsettling."So he asked who you were and you just gave yourself out? Without a fight?" "I...he..." Mae started to stutter."Please tell me you didn't not give him your name." Omar inhaled deeply after asking and raised a brow when she didn't answer immediately."I
