LOGIN“Stealing from me wasn't the problem. Leaving before I could wake up wasn't what almost drove me insane,” he whispered. “Then what did?” I asked, almost in tears. “Why did you search for me so hard?” “Because I missed you so much. After that night, I lost my mind. All I could think of was seeing you again." “Stop. Don't tell me such things,” I said between tears. “Don't make me think you're in love with me.” “But I am. I am in love with you, Lacy.” he declared, staring deeply into my eyes. I froze. He can't mean that. He doesn't mean that. He's my best friend's father. And he's a billionaire, a man way out of my league. He can't and shouldn't be in love with me. I'm a pack of ugly and dirty secrets. I've got demons haunting my life every day. He's only gonna get caught up in my mess. They're gonna haunt him too. They'll ruin his reputation. They'll ruin him entirely. He shouldn't be in love with me. And I shouldn't be either. But how can I keep my heart from falling for the one man that's proven again and again that he doesn't wanna let me go? That he's willing to burn the world for me? How can I not fall for a man who comes back every time I push him away? How do I stay away from a man like CRISTIAN ANDERSON?

Fuck! She's one hell of a sight! Spread those legs, you little fox!! I think I just nutted my pants!! Take all my bloody money. All of it, baby!! How much for a night, baby? I'll pay a fucking fortune!! The lewd comments and cheers from these horny bastards were like a damn symphony to my ears. They fueled me to twirl harder around the pole. Give them the fucking show of their life. I hit a majestic split and the hall broke out into a thunderous applause and whistles. Relief washed through my mind as I stared at them through my mask. They all looked horny and ready to pay whatever the fuck I asked. I promised my mother that I was going to get the money tonight, and she's not going to get kicked out of our little apartment. And to God, I'm gonna keep that promise. Over ten horny billionaires were ogling me. They're worth more than the cash I needed. The pay I was gonna get from doing this show tonight was peanuts, compared to what these men would give me. And I needed what they would give. It would go a long way toward clearing a bit of our unending debts. I struck another erotic pose, with my head thrown backwards and the hall broke in cheers. And that was when I saw those eyes again. Deep, striking hazel eyes. Staring intently at me. Not blinking. Not smiling. Just raw and intense. I saw those eyes before I came up to the podium. He's been watching me since then. Unlike the others, he wasn't cheering. There was no sheepish smirk on his face. On the contrary, his expression was blank. But he was engrossed. In a frightening way. Gulping, I struck another pose, reminding myself not to look in his direction. Even though I could feel his heated gaze on me. When I finally ended the dance, the whole crowd was throwing a fit. The cheers were ear-shattering. I had everyone in here completely and irrevocably mesmerized. As they should be. “Thank you all.” I smiled, waving at them. My horny fans. Billionaires too. Just how I liked them. “Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.” They screamed different replies, that ended with how fucking sexy I was. I bowed gracefully and headed down the podium. Trust that I exaggeratedly shook my big ass and made my big boobs bounce as I left the hall. It was just a little icing on the cake. I took a quick glance at Hazel's eyes and he was drinking a glass of what seemed like whiskey. Those damn eyes sent a harsh wave of heat to my thighs. I looked away, disappearing through the door that led to my dressing room. “Good show, Nina.” The girls greeted me as I walked by them. “Thank you.” I smiled, keeping my head up until I was locked in my dressing room. Alone, I threw the mask off my face. I didn't need to smile anymore so I dropped the cheerful facade and put on my real expression. A sad, gloomy, desperate expression. I snatched a robe from the hanger and covered my almost naked body. How wretched my life was. For every penny I needed, I had to be an erotic excitement for a bunch of horny bastards old enough to be my father. But then again, I'd do anything for my family. My mother and my little sick brother. And that involves ripping off any of those men tonight. Soon, I'll get a message that one of them wants me for the night. That's how it usually goes. That's how I get my victims. They pay a fortune for me to follow them to their hotels. We have a drink. They black out after the drink because I most expertly would have drugged it. In the morning, they believe we had sex and they pay again. Because I would sweetly promise to do it again with them. But that would never happen because they're never going to see me again. It was simple and yet complex. But yeah, anything to survive. Anything to keep my family from drowning. The knock came sooner than I expected. I quickly took off the robe and flipped my curled blonde wig. I practiced my flirtatious smiles before reaching for the doorknob, hoping to see James, my assistant. He's usually the one to inform me about the requests. But I got the shock of my life when the door opened and it wasn't James. It was him. Hazel eyes. My gaze unconsciously swept up his tall frame and settled on his face. Oval-shaped, high cheekbones, sharp jawline with neatly trimmed stubble. His thin lips had a pink hue that made them alluring. He was, in fact, ruggedly handsome. In a way that mercilessly steals your breath. He had sleek brown hair graced with a pompadour haircut that highlighted every fucking facial feature. And those eyes, God, those damn eyes. Also, he's ogling at me. Not in a way that screamed pervert like those men in that hall. But in a more unnerving, bloodcurdling way that screamed ‘I want you and you gotta let me have you.’ He was dressed like a usual billionaire except that he seemed to hate colors. Everything was in black. Down to his gloves. He was giving billionaire vibes but there was another vibe that I didn't find comfortable. With one good look, I could already tell he wasn't my usual type. He screams danger. The type that could easily see through my facade. The type that would wanna own me. And not worship me. I can't be owned. Not again. I only wanna be worshipped, get what I want, and vanish. A man like him would make that very hard to do. “Wrong room,” I said, and tried to shut the door. He stopped the door from shutting with just one hand, even though I was using both hands to try to slam the door in his face. “Please leave. I need to get dressed.” I said with slight panic, trying to shut the door again. He pushed it open and barged inside. I lost my cool and grabbed a pair of scissors from the table. “Don't you dare try to force yourself on me.” I threatened, pointing the scissors at him. He didn't flinch. He didn't blink. He just slowly began taking off his gloves. Was he mute or what? “What do you want?” I asked, the panic was still strained in my voice. “I want what every man in there wants.” He finally replied. Good Lord, was that the voice of a human or a Greek god? Because what in the name of huskiness was this? The rippling effect from his voice sent goosebumps through my skin. “What's that?” My voice floated in the air. He gave a lopsided smile. “YOU.” “I'm sorry but you can't have me. First off, you're not allowed to come in here. Secondly, I'm a dancer. Not a stripper. And thirdly…” “Are you gonna take off your panties here or in my car? Decide and be fucking quick about it.” He cut me off smoothly, rendering me speechless. “Excuse you?” I gasped at his rawness. “Are you gonna take off your panties here or in my car?” He repeated without fucking stuttering. I turned crimson and my hold on the scissors loosened. But I was still pointing it at him. “I've got money. Lots of it. But I bet you know that.” He added. A cocky bastard! Definitely not my type! My chest tightened bitterly. “I'm not a whore…” “Says the girl who just bared her coochie in front of a crowd a few minutes ago.” He cut in swiftly. “I'm not judging. I'm just saying that I loved what I saw. I want a taste. And I got enough cash to pay for it.” Something about the cockiness in his voice triggered me. Before I realized what I was doing, I had gone closer to him. My six-inch heels made it easier for me to get closer to his face. All I needed was a little tiptoe to help me slap the living daylight out of him. “You cocky bastard!”CHUCK Drinking and staring out the window was a Google recommendation on how to clear your head and get rid of intense crankiness. I've been doing that for minutes now, and I don't feel any better. Not even in the slightest. This crankiness wouldn't go away. And then I keep glancing at my phone, hoping she'd call. And she hasn't. Not even a text from her. It's hard to get through the day, waiting for a text or a call that just might never come. And the thought that she might have gone to see her asshole boyfriend has me more stressed than ever. It’s fucking pathetic feeling this way for her. I'd feel more pathetic if I called her first. That's why I'm hesitating to. Even though every bone in me just wants to call and know if she's okay. If her face hurts in the slightest. My chest still burns whenever I recall how hard that bastard hit her. All my life watching her grow up, I've never imagined it was possible to hit her at all. Even yelling at her felt like a crime. So watching i
LACYI stared blankly at the ceiling, doing a mental count of how much longer I needed to live this disgusting and wretched life before it all came to an end. I'm barely breathing. I'm barely okay. My chest hurts physically. Like I've got a wound in it from the last time Mad Dog thoroughly beat my ass. I'd check myself in a hospital if I could. I'm sure they'd find out I fractured something inside. But I don't have the money to do that. And Mad Dog would never give me the money for that. He wouldn't want me talking to others about the abuse he puts me through. And now, doing this mission for him feels like hell. This has to be the hardest mission I've ever had to do. Because it involves hurting people I've genuinely grown to care about. But I have no choice. I've never had a bloody choice in my life. He's taken all that away from me. And then he took school away from me too. He made me sign that I was never going back.Showing up in Aaliyah's life again with that shitty lie of bei
AALIYAH For the first time, I was angry. Really angry. I was livid. Why does he keep bringing me to places like this? I don't want to sound like a brat, but these places are beneath me. It's about time he starts bringing me to his apartment. Or I won't bother visiting him anymore. No matter how hard he tries to convince and manipulate me into visiting. I will stand my ground. I got inside and approached the receptionist. He didn't send me a room number. So I'll have to ask her. But weirdly, she didn't wait for me to ask. “Second floor. Room 5,” she said with a professional smile. I offered her a forced smile and took the staircase. I got to the door that had the room number and knocked. The door opened, and there he was, shirtless, wearing only pants. Seeing him almost altered the anger and indignation I was feeling earlier. But I quickly reprimanded myself. Don't be stupid, Aaliyah. Don't forget what he did to you. “Are you just gonna stand there and stare at me all day?” he
AALIYAH “Well, you can't blame him for defending you the way he did. You guys share an Uncle-Niece bond, right?” Lacy said, knitting on the bed. She's knitting a beanie. She's been at it for days. Barely goes to lectures. I don't understand how she prefers lying around here in this apartment to going to lectures. I've tried convincing her a million times, but she always has the perfect excuse. This time around, she says she needs to finish the beanie before she can follow me to lectures. Makes me wonder how messy her priority list is. It also makes me wonder what happened to her during the holidays. She's never been negligent about her studies. This time, it's like she doesn't care at all. “If you ask me, Chuck did nothing wrong. You have no reason to be mad at him.” She continued her calm defense of Chuck. “I'm not mad at him. I understand perfectly why he defended me. I just feel like he made everything worse.” I replied, sitting up on the bed, hugging a throw pillow, and feeli
CRISTIAN “There's your bitch.” Chuck whistled in a direction. We all looked and yeah, Aaliyah just came down the stairs with Lacy. They whispered something to each other and giggled. Lacy headed to the main kitchen while Aaliyah headed to the coffee counter. It's actually at the other end of the
LACY “Oh, my baby. You look so big now!” The older lady hugging Aaliyah wouldn't stop gushing. We just arrived at her Father's house and my God, I was still in shock. This place was like a villa or something. A lot of gigantic buildings and servants. The trees gave off country vibes, but the foun
CRISTIAN The knock on the door snapped me out of my funk. I glanced back as the door opened. It was my secretary. “Sorry to disturb you, Sir, but Mr. Joe just arrived.”“Send him in.”She bowed and left. Seconds later, Joe, my best friend stepped inside.“Hey man,” I greeted with all my gloomines
Lacy“Why don't you come with me? It'll be fun.” Aaliyah said from the bathroom where she was brushing her teeth and getting ready for her little vacation. I shrugged with a smile, helping her fold her clothes into her suitcase. She's going home for the holidays. She didn't get to go last year bec
