Chapter 4
"Beep beep beep"...... She heard the car horn, they were here to pick her up, she took out her briefcase and shut the door behind her, taking a look at the Venza that came to pick her up in this slum area, she entered,
"To the airport, ma'am?" The driver asked, she nodded in affirmation, then he turned on the ignition of the car, then drove off to the airport where the boss was already awaiting her arrival.

As they drove into the airport tarmac, her boss was already waiting, with his mask on, he turned to her as she approached him,
"Is this the best you could do?" He asked with much irritation in his voice, she looked at her dress one more time finding nothing wrong with it,
"You know what? Just get in. We'll fix that problem by the time we land." He added walking into the plane, with his men sole behind him, she took a deep breath and then followed suit, the airplane was wild and exceeded her imagination, it was just too beautiful, she sat down behind him and then fix her seatbelt, she could tell that the main boss was not as aggressive as Marcus. Who knew how considerate the boss could be?
The plane took off shortly, it was not an easy ride for Amelia this was her First time on a plane, and she felt her gut surging out of her, regardless of everything, they landed in about a few hours. They settled at the resort, and she was given a room close to the boss but he had his room, as she lay on the bed, enjoying the beauty and the sentiments that came with it, she couldn't wait to give Hanna the full details. The room was larger than her entire house, the Interior decor was too beautiful, and one could sleep and easily forget her problems, that was how the rich lived. Her thoughts were Intruded on by the doorbell,
"Coming!" She rushed to the door, opening it to see one of the boss men with a parcel in his hands,
" The boss asked me to give you this and get ready for tonight." He stated she takes the parcel,
"Send my thanks to him," she added, then closed the door behind her, her cheeks flushed in crimson red as she was living the baby girl lifestyle she had always read about in novels and watched on TV shows, but just that this was a give and take situation. She sat down on the sofa taking out the contents of the parcel. It was a large box, with a beautiful sea-blue gown with gems and stones everywhere. The silver shoes, bag, and pieces of jewelry matched the beauty of the dress.
"Just who is this man the boss wants to solely get his hands on?" The efforts he put to see the plan goes through was alarming.
Arriving at the resort, Henry had not been in the perfect mood all through the flight to Las Vegas, Dave had a hard time communicating with all the clients and the work they left behind,
"This is the room sir," Dave announced as they walked into the room, it was classy and marched his taste but regardless of everything he wouldn't want to be here,
" What's the schedule like?" He asked Dave, as he swiped through his phone.
"You have to be in attendance at the welcoming dinner. Everyone would attend." He stated Henry sighs,
"How about you go represent, I'm not in the mood for those." He added, sitting on the couch and leaving Dave dumbfounded,
"But Sir?"
"Can you leave now?" He replied instead, Dave sighs then walked out of the room closing the door.
"This is what Dad wants, not me." He brought out his laptop to settle some work online before freshening up and resting.

It was 9 pm already, she had finished with her dress, she was looking perfect in the dress which exposed her entire back, she was a bit uncomfortable that she was showing too much for such a decent occasion, or is this how the rich dressed for functions like this? She was confused but regardless she had to blend in. She settled with a low bun, her dress exposing her shoulders and back were too tempting for any man to resist. She picked up her small purse and gracefully walked around in practice from the video she had watched earlier. Just then the doorbell rang, she opened the door, it was the boss still in his mask, but he looked dashing in the black tuxedo suit he wore, his hair gelled backward as it brought out his well-structured face.
"Good evening sir," she greeted lightly, he stared at her for a while,
"She is indeed beautiful." He thought deeply,
"Are you ready?" He asked her instead, she thought he'd compliment her looks but nothing,
"This is business Amelia, no strings attached." She said to herself.
" I'm guessing you want to see my face, huh? She nods, and just then he unmasked himself, staring at the face in front of him, she stood shocked to the ground,
" You're…. you're….." her words were choking, he gave a wicked smirk the complete her sentence,
" Yes, I am Greg Duke, the one and only." His smirk widened, leaving her in shock. She couldn't believe her eyes, wasn't this the popular CEO of the Ultimate Enterprise, how?
He gave a small smirk then curved his hands for her to take it, she was still in shock at the wild revelation, she couldn't believe she was hanging out with such a personality. As soon as they got to the red carpet, a lot of pictures were taken with speculation, who was she? She had never been seen Before. Literally, every guest came with an icon but this strange beautiful lady's existence seems unknown till now. Feeling overwhelmed by the crowd, Greg realized she was getting to feel uncomfortable, he held her by the waist, taking her into the hall.
Chapter 5"That was exhausting," she finally breathes out as soon as they got to the main hall,"You know, this is part of the job, getting used to the camera?" He added in sort of a subtle way,"I know that it's just that.." "Mr. Yoshida, what a pleasant surprise!" He cut her short walking away, to greet a certain old man whom she guess has much influence as he does in the business world,Feeling bad, she turned, everyone was busy with a certain someone but she was lost, this was not her kind of setting, not at all,"That's a pretty rude way to cut a lady short." A voice spoke behind her, she turned abruptly to see who spoke, and was certain it wasn't her Boss,"Hi," she gave a small smile giving away her attractive dimples,"Hi, you're?" He looked at her for a while,"Amelia Earhart. You probably do not know that name." She stated,"Hmm, nice. I'm Dave Ramsey. A representative of the Benjaminz Cooperation." Hearing the word Benjaminz cooperation, her ears clicked, is this the guy s
Chapter 6 The look on her face was the exact thing he needed, Greg shot him a glare as if he knew what was coming for him. She watched him climb the podium, she could admit he was looking dashing but his actions in the past had painted him the demon before her very eyes, still looking at him, she clutched her glass of apple juice, if she had pressed any further, she'd break it. Just then, her boss was called to the podium, and applaud went on, Amelia couldn't hold back her tears, she dropped the glass of juice and left, Seeing a figure leaving, Henry became disturbed. Greg introduced himself, as soon as the seminar began he noticed Amelia was missing, "Where the heck is she again?" He said to himself curtly, while looking around, his attention caught the image of the managing director of a company he had been wanting to partner with for so long. . .. In between sobs, Amelia stared at herself in the mirror, no doubt that was in the past and she had to move on, not the same m
Chapter 7 She watched him from afar, and my memory joggled to that same horrible night, then to the cry of her baby, she was just too young to undergo this kind of trauma and to think that the prestigious Henry Benjaminz whom, everyone basically praised and worship was just as the same monster as her manager, Marcus. She stared at the business card, funny enough she attended an online class to study in secret which only Hanna knows to this day, she was already prepared for this revenge long before she could imagine. "I want to thank everyone who came for this short seminar, we're hoping to serve you well." His voice broke into her thoughts through the microphone, she was uneasy the entire time, Greg walked up to her after years of disappearance, "You should be making some appearances, you know?" He says bitterly, seeing her cuddle herself like a drenched cat, he noticed she was thrown off balance when the idiot, Henry was introduced but no matter what that was, he knew it was not
Chapter 8Sitting in the back of the car, she clutched her purse tightly, her eyes began burning, "Don't cry, Amelia" she told herself trying to fan herself but the pain and bitterness were a lot to handle, she broke down in tears silently crying."Fate does have a way with coincidence, huh?" She says lightly, wiping off the tears on her face with a napkin. She took out the card, Dave had given her earlier, staring at it."I think it's time we be in the game" Sniffing her stuffed nose from all that crying, she threw her eyes to the window, all she wanted was a nice cold bath to calm her nerves and a decent sleep to steal her away from the pain she was feeling tonight. .."Do you have an idea who she is to him?" Henry suddenly asked Dave, turns out he had been thinking deeply, was she one of his numerous girlfriends? She looked too reserved.Typing the schedule for the next day but hearing the question, his hands hung, Dave looked at him, "You're thinking about her? Is that a good
Chapter 9It was the next morning, the sun had escaped its rays into the windows hitting her slender smooth face, she grunted in her sleep as she turned over to the other side not in the mood to wake up any time soon, just then it rung in her head"Ding!".It was the first day of the seminar and she ought to be dressed by now. The memo was sent to her yesterday and her dress, which of course Greg had made sure she wore, was staring at her in the face. She instantly jerked up like one been stung by an ant."Oh my freaking God!" She yelled as she swayed the duvet cover off of her,"Well done, Amelia. Great job ". She said through gritted teeth as she hurried to the bathroom to have her shower.Shortly after her bath, she stared at the black simple gown which it's beauty was hung up to her view,"If there was one thing Master Greg was good at, that would be picking out outfits." She reasoned he had to since he had women wrapped around his fingers.She took her slender self into the bath
Chapter 10The event was almost over, Amelia sat in distress, she was really pressed, but the look Greg was giving her from the distance he stood scared her, she wouldn't dare move, just as the heavens answered her prayers, he walked towards the table where she sat,"What's with the face?" Apparently, he had noticed she was struggling with something and came find out what it was, "I want to use the restroom." She blurted out almost immediately, then in reflex held her mouth from spilling more. He arched his brows a bit confused and uncomfortable,"You can leave." He said to her, she nodded in relief as she hurried to the restroom, just as she was about to walk in she bumped her head on a chest, almost losing her balance but the said person had caught her before she kissed the ground, slowly opening her eyes she had shut in fear, just to see him in flesh and blood holding unto her waist,"Oh gosh, so sorry." She immediately said freeing herself from her grip, the shocked expression on
Chapter 11Retiring to her room, her thoughts go lost as she begins contemplating staring at the card. Dave is a sweetheart, and she doesn't want to go back to her stripping job. This was the best time to kill two birds with a stoneShe took her cell phone and immediately searched for the website, sending her CV to the email address written on the complimentary card.“Amelia, just hope you know what you're doing,” she said to herself as she sat at her desk, her laptop open in front of her. She was applying at the Benjaminz, and she was determined to get it. She carefully filled out the online application, making sure to highlight her skills and experience. Her fingers hovered over the "submit" button, and she hesitated. Taking a deep breath, she hit the button, sending her CV into the ether. She leaned back in her chair, her heart pounding in her chest. She had done everything she could, and now she just had to wait and hope for the best.She stood up heading to the bathroom after whi
Chapter 1 Three years earlier……. The bright light cast on Henry's face, causing him to wake up, turning to see the woman beside him. It then dawned on him that this is not the woman arranged for him, he sprang up," What the heavens sake are you doing here?? Who are you?? She lazily opened her eyes, trying to figure out where she was,At the club, they had hooked up why was he acting all out now,the memory flashed," Harder Sir!!" The eyebrows arched as she looked under the duvet only to see they were both naked," What the f**k! What did you do to me?!! You perv**t ". She yelled this was not what she planned for, as a stripper her services were just to keep him relaxed and not to have sex with him, " I should be the one asking you what the hell are you doing here! Who are you?" He yelled" Don't you remember anything from last night, brought me here last night?! And the agreement clearly stated no intimacy which I doubt you couldn't read through because you were drunk last
