Mag-log inHandsome, sharp, and newly wealthy from an investment, Richard Underhill is qualified to enter a secret and very restricted gentleman's club, Aphrodite. Only a handful of selected men is adequate for entry into the gates of a world full of beauty, passion, and desirable women. And one of these women catches Richard's heart in a beat. But there is one catch... Candice. Aka. Harlee Moore is Aphrodite's highest-paid worker, and she is a pro at seducing the men, but her motto states; you can look, not touch. After locking eyes with a certain gentleman one night, (a very handsome one,) Candice knows that she needs to protect her heart at all costs; because he makes it very clear that he wants her and he is getting very hard to resist. But Candice closed the door to her heart a long time ago; vowing never to trust another man ever again.
view moreA week later. Richard unlocked the door to his new penthouse and let the movers inside. This past week had felt like the most prolonged wait for him, and he had hurried along the papers for the penthouse to be in order.Last week when he spotted her through the elevator, he had spent the following days researching the building and the residents, but he had yet to come across her name. Was she maybe staying with someone? A boyfriend? No. Richard refused to accept that she might be unavailable to him. "We have carried in everything from the truck, sir. Was there anything else?" One of the movers asked and brought Richard out of his thoughts."No, thank you. Here, take this," Richard said, reaching the man one hundred dollar bill. "Thank you, sir," The man said and took the money. The movers left the apartment, and Richard began unboxing his stuff. Candice left the shower and twirled a towel around her chest when she heard the doorbell ring. "Who could that be?" She mumbled and went
"Is he going to kiss me?" Candice thought before she immediately withdrew. "What are you doing?" She whispered and took a step back. "Something I have wanted to do since I first saw you!" Richard mumbles and reaches out his hand to grip her chin. "I don't think so," Candice uttered, irritated, while she pushed his hand away."This is against the rules," She uttered hesitantly, and Richard sighed, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. Can I buy you dinner as an apology?" Richard mused with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I can't go out with a customer outside the club; it's also against the rules," Candice replied, and Richard raised his eyebrows. "But what if it is on a friendly term?" Candice smiled and turned away. "It doesn't work like that, I'm afraid." Richard was getting impatient, "So then I have to continue to come back and buy your company?" He asked, and Candice felt her heart skip a beat."This, all of this," Candice said, reaching out her arms and spinning around, "This is al
"Who's the new guy," Candice asked Leonora, sipping on a glass of champagne. "You mean that young, handsome man standing with Ava, looking at you!" Leonara laughed as she shook her head, "Yes," Candice replied and held her focus on Leonora."Honestly, I don't know. I only know that he is some big-shot investment man," Candice bit her lip, "Oh, okay."She sipped on her champagne and glanced in his direction occasionally. Candice was blown away by confinement.She had never reacted the way she did when their eyes met moments ago, and that scared her.And here she stood with feelings running wild within her, feelings she thought she had lost connection with a long time ago. That man was dangerous, and she needed to stay guarded. She knew she needed to protect her heart at all costs."Candice, you are wanted in the golden room and paid for until closing," Ana said, and Candice's jaw dropped. "But that's millions of dollars. Who did that?""One of the new gentlemen, Mr. Underhill. He was ve
Richard looked at the letter and placed it beside the box to see what else was in it. He lifted the silk cloth and saw a black eye mask in the form of two wings and a phone lying on a bed of black velvet. He grabbed the phone, and the screen was lit on the ignition. "Call this number within 24 hours when you have decided on further information." Richard readout and saw that just one number was on the contact list.Richard sighed and poured himself a glass of whiskey. This was crazy. Why would they invite him to that club? And what's so special about making it such a unique place? Richard had a lot on his mind. Still, he could sense that it had aroused his curiosity.And who is Mr. Verlich? Richard sipped the whisky on his way to his balcony and lit a cigarette. The lady said he shouldn't talk about it, and the letter said the same thing: Top-class, high-end. Richard was intrigued. But how would he know whether it was valid? It could also be a fraud.Richard debated with himself throug
