Meeting the Daredevil;
Rose was just having her second cup of coffee when Juan showed up, his mouth was agape as he saw her appearance, it was like she was a completely different person, different style of outfit and her face was not caked with make up, her plain face with the touch of lip gloss was so enticing and attractive that he couldn't help but slightly fall for her. In other words, she's so stunning that the guys around her, in other tables couldn't help but take another glance at her cause everyone appreciate a beautiful woman. From her porcelain white skin to her ebony black hair that is in a ponytail to her full peach lips that are inviting ansd attention drawing."Are you done staring?" Rose stated bluntly, breaking him from his train of thoughts.He coughed nervously " you look different"."Is different food or bad?" She took a bite from the cake on front of her."Different in a good way, you look amazing. What happened?"."I finally regained my senses and the mist has been cleared from my eyes. I found out the truth and I'm ready to get back what belongs to me" The aura around her was suppressing him, making it difficult for him to breath normally. "I need your help".He blinked repeatedly "my help? How?".She smiled " I need you to dig out the dirty secrets involving Dexter and Susan".Juan almost choked on his coffee ' she wanted him to investigate her sister and fiance'. "Are you sure about that? Do you think that there's something between them?""I know that there's something between them" she sounded so positive and sure " That's why I need your help, you'll find out everything between them and with time, we'll let the public know about it"."What are you planning to do? I thought you loved him".She took out her phone and set to start buying stocks which according to her calculations and estimations would bring her great benefits in the future. She had limited cash and had to spend wisely. She also transferred some money to Juan."I already transferred a hundred thousand dollars to you, it's left for you to decide if you want to help me or not". Knowing about his background, she knew that he was in dire need of cash at the moment so she was just trying to help him in disguise. Seeing his shocked expression, she knew her trap had worked."Miss Ryella, I'm willing to help you in any way I can but you have to do something in return". Rose raised her eyebrow "How can I be sure that you are going to rat me out to Mr Dexter, you know how powerful he is, compared to me"."So what your point here?, How can I make you believe me". At this point, she was quite desperate.Juan slowly looked around the cafe. "I want you to prove that you are not in love with Mr Dexter anymore by kissing anyone here"She clenched her fist, what sort of trap was this." How dare you?"."I'm sorry Rye,this is the only way I can be sure that I'm not being trapped by you""Fine" she stood up and strolled out of the cafe, Juan watching her carefully.Rose looked around the area, there was no way she was just gonna kiss a random beggar of a stranger, she still had her pride. As if on cue, a latest Mercedes Maybach car parked in front of the shopping mall which was a stone throw from the cafe, she held her breath as a breathtaking man stepped out of the car, he was as handsome as anyone could wish for, his dark hair, perfectly chiseled face, as if specially made by the gods, his aura was purely masculine, purely dominating she was mesmerized and immediately drawn towards him. At that moment her choice was made and found her legs going against her directives, she walking towards him, ignoring the guards that wanted to stop her but were waved off by the man. "I'm sorry" she muttered before pressing her lips on his in a passionate kiss, wrapping one of her hands around his neck, the other was messing with his hair. She didn't notice his arms possessively around her waist cupping and softly squeezing her butt ,drawing her closer to satisfy quenching needs. Their tongues fought for dominance against the other but she lost, submitting totally to the man, his tongue claiming full territory inside her mouth.She was lost in the sensation, she felt as if she was in heaven and didn't want to leave, she wanted more, it was nothing like what she has ever experienced,it consumed her, her body ached and feelings she thought she never had in her previous lifetime flooded to life. She slowly broke the kiss, leaving him unsatisfied with desire and lots of unreadable emotions in his eyes, without a backward glance, she ran back to the cafe.The guards waited expectantly for the next reaction of their young master, they feared for the girl, she was just a pretty face without brains cause everyone in the city knows that this particular young man spites ladies coming to close for comfort nevertheless them touching him."Young master, we'll get rid of her immediately" the bold one to talk was the man's personal assistant Derek, despite the fact that they have been childhood friends, he is not always spared from the receiving end of the wrath of this person. He felt a sharp glare which made cold chill run down his spine."I never gave an order for you to get rid of her" he stated clearly and plainly. "Instead I need every single detail of what information about her in half an hour!". She intrigued him, her appearance, her lips,scent and attitude has captured his attention unlike other ladies that flocks around him trying to get his attention, she was natural, strawberry and vanilla scented, not caked with make up or perfume that grosses him. Lately, due to the rumors flying around, everyone approaches him with caution but this lady had thrown caution to the wind without a care in the world or wasn't she aware of who he was. He smiled inwardly, she willing entered his den but now, she would never be able to leave, she now belongs to him.The guards eyes widened at was he said, that was a first, he has never cared about any lady to the extent of asking for her informations but nevertheless "yes, boss". Derek was the most shocked 'half an hour!, I haven't had breakfast yet but he wants a lady's detail in an hour. How can he be cruel to me'."Or you can say bye to your jobs" The cold tone brought Derek back to reality 'i should be careful, she may end up becoming our young mistress! So I need to hang on to her to get more benefits.The man lost his interest in coming to the mall and stepped back into the car. "Take me to the office".Weston Enterprise is the top renowned and leading enterprises in the country, other companies are not even fit to hold a candle to them. They were very influential and many had tried to have any form of connection with them. No no dares to mess with the CEO or you'll end up bankrupt the next hour. And the man who runs it all is the prestigious Damon Weston, an handsome daredevil who hates fake appearance and most of all, women.As the car slowly pulled into a stop in the private packing lot, the man slowly stepped out towards a conference room with a cold expression and it felt like the temperature in the room dropped. The man listened as most people in the room talked about a project that would fetch them more but all he could say was "Compile the files and send them to my office".He wasn't feeling composed like usual, the kiss kept replaying in his head and for the first time in a long time, he had a hard on and needed to a cold shower. " This meeting is over" He walked out of the room with his bodyguards and everyone let out a big sigh of relief.Rose was also not composed, it was the best kiss to her but it was also addicting, causing her to have thoughts that were not supposed to exist in her mind. Who was he? Numerous questions ran through her mind. He looked like a powerful person that she is supposed to hold on to but the book never mentioned anything about him, maybe....this was the way to change the storyline and have a good happy ever after. She faintly heard someone calling her, her thoughts were cut off abruptly as Juan jerked her slightly."Earth to Ryella, Earth to Ryella, is it connecting?" he clicked his finger in front of her face which she lightly smacked away."I'm fine, I did what you asked for, now would you help me?"."I couldn't get a clear view of the guy but I could see that you were both sucking your faces. I also got blurry pictures just in case you try to backstab me at some point".Rose rolled her eyes at this. "Isn't the audition for A Thousand Miles Away going on today. I heard that they are going choose anyone, absolutely anyone that fits the main role" Juan drummed his fingers on the table noticing the sinister smirk on Rose's face. "What plans do you have cuz I don't trust that look on your face".She gestured to him to come closer "well you see, Dexter asked me to audition in place of Susan but here's what I planned" she whispered a a few more things. Juan gasped "that's an amazing idea! She would be so suprised and they won't know what hit them until they receive their greatest shock" .She smirked "are you ready partner?"."Count me in".Damon was seated in his office, his fingers slowly tapped the armrest in a rhythm, his table cleared of all files except his laptop and a timer which was set to thirty minutes. Sixty seconds more and his best friend would be fired. This always expressionless face curled into a devilish smirk.
Ten seconds more. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5... The door was forcefully but carefully opened to show a dishevelled Derek with a bunch of files in his hands. He had gently placed them on the table when the timer made the loud ding then he let out a loud sigh of relief, he is safe. Damon stared at him still with a scary expression on his face. He noted how Derek was sweating more than usual but despite that he was still able to make every lady turn heads to his direction " Time's up! You can keep your job" he indicated to him to have a seat and slowly rubbed his palms together like an excited child about to open a present. " Since you did the research, brief me on everything you found out and you should have a drink of chilled water to calm your nerves dude then you can spill the whole thing, leaving nothing out". "Bro has everyone ever told you that you are scary" Derek asked, knowing that whenever Damon called him dude, the professionalism has been put on hold and it was time for a casual conversation between them. Derek started speaking in between sips of water "According to my findings, she's the true heir to the Kress Enterprise Ryella Kress. she's not well known in the society. According to rumors, she's ugly, naive and lacks self confidence but that's far from what we all saw" he chuckled as he saw his best friend's face darken with anger and his fist clenched in fury. This was a wierd and strange sight to behold but there's a first time for everything. "some rumors are just rumors indeed. She is tagged as a disgrace because of lack of intelligence and intellect. Her step sister is an actress in the entertainment industry and is close to being ranked as a B class actress. Everyone says she doesn't deserve to be the heir and I'm guessing her father would try to change the everything to favor his stepdaughter. Miss Ryella also has a boyfriend, he's the current chairman of Lawson's Entertainment industries but my fact is that he's cheating on her with her step sister". That was it! Damon smashed his fist into the table and stood up angrily. "How dare he! How dare he take what's meant to be mine and use her for a plaything! Who does he think he is?!". Derek was speechless with many thoughts on his mind. When has his best friend ever staked claims on a lady?. Did the sun rise from the West today? Or has the demon CEO lost his heart to the thing he hated the most, a woman?. This is a big case of love at first....kiss?. "I want someone to keep tabs on him and another to watch Ryella" he said with a domineering tone. "Yes young Master. Also the audition for A Thousand Miles Away is taking place today, you might want to check it out". "I'm not interested in those shitty auditions which are filled with fake ladies that wont hesitate to throw themselves at anyone just to get a role. Disgusting!". "Fine, I'll go then. At least I'll get to see sister in law audition". Something snapped within Damon as he heard his best friend refer to Ryella that way, a feeling, a feeling of possessiveness. Then he picked up his but at the same time a call came in. His mom. He groaned angrily "What do you want mum?". "Is that any way to speak to your mother. You're lucky I'm not right there or I'll hit you real bad". He faceplamed and sat down letting out another groan. "I'm sorry mum, what is it you want this time?". "Do you remember Cassandra?". "Yes mum what about her?"Damon already realized what his mum was getting at. Matchmaking. Again "She came back from Canada this morning so your father and I invited her for dinner tomorrow night and I'm hoping you could show up. Did you believe she still remembers you and she's making plans to get married..". Seeing as Derek kept checking his wristwatch and mouthing 'we've gotta go or we'll be late', Damon interrupted his mom rudely "you know what I'll be there. Tomorrow night. Got it and I have a surprise that you'll love". "Well I can't wait to find out what you've planned. Byee". "What suprise have you planned?" Derek was quite confused. Damon was walking so fast that Derek had to partially run to catch up with him. "Young master? Where are we headed?" His four bodyguards were also suprised because they had no idea that the demon CEO had plans to go elsewhere for that day, they were quite confused too. Derek immediately told the driver where they were headed too seeing as the CEO's professional cold and aloof expression was on. "I need two rare Jade bracelet and get my mother and my wife's name carved on each respectively" "What wife?" Derek would forever regret the moment he bluted out that question as only the icy glare from Damon sent cold chills running down his spine and he now felt uncomfortable being sitted in the same car as him. There was only one thing left for him to do before he received the full dosage of his best friend's wrath. Damage control . "You meant sister in law?I'm sure she'll love your present". That seemed to work cuz the glare from Damon seemed to soften a bit.Damon smirkes "she's not my wife yet but she would be, very soon". Derek didn't know what to say, this was the first time his boss was going after a lady, a lady who obviously knew nothing about his reputation about the fact that he couldn't stand women being too close to him. But how come he couldn't stop thinking about Ryella after they shared a kiss that she initiated. How strange. Meanwhile, Ryella was able to obtain a last minute spot to audition, she was ready to face Susan head on and reveal the dirty secrets about her. She soon arrived at the center where the audition was going to take place. Earlier, she had gone through the 'A Thousand Miles Away' novel and thanks to her photographical memory, she was able to assimilate and understand the plot of the book perfectly well. In her words, the author deserved an Oscar award cause the book was simply going to be a mind-blowing experience for all the actors playing the rol
All heads were turned to the direction of the advancing new voice. It didn't take more than a second for Ryella to determine the owner of the voice 'That fool dares come here, he really doesn't have any shame at all. It takes two to tangle but in this case, two can play this game.' she unknowingly licked her taut pink lips at the thought of making someone lose money. In her past life, that has been her weakness and now it hasn't changed, not for one bit. Dexter had come with hopes of boosting Susan's morale and probably currying favors from the judges but who knew that he'll overhear Ryella publicly exposing some of the secrets he has tried to keep in the dark. Come to think of it, what exactly was she doing here, didn't she refuse to help her sister out but how come she came here, I guess there are some things that we'll never find out. Ryella smirked, its time to up her game. She fake gasps loudly "How can you say that I'm slandering my own sister
Chapter 8: Relationship "Well young master" Derek was quick to notice that Damon hasn't really said anything about his real identity, so it wasn't in his place to reveal anything"let me the first to congratulate you on you marriage to the young mistress". "Thanks bro, it's all thanks to the stupid shopping mall idea you had" Derek laughed heartily "Dude, its wasn't totally my fault for forgetting that you needed a new tie". Damon smacked the back of his head and kissed Ryella forehead "shut up, don't embarrass me any further". Ryella smiled inwardly, she finally realized that the relationship between them was much more than employer-employee relationship, they were like best friends and she wasn't wrong. "So when's the wedding, I have to inform the rest of the guys on advance?" "That's right, those mfing (mother f**cking) bastards" Damon said sarcastically. "The official wedding date wo
Three hours later, Sitted all alone in her car, Ryella twisted an handkerchief multiple times until it became really crumpled, she was so nervous and seeing that Damon was not by her side, she felt more nervous. 'Aish! You've only just met him but you're now so attached to him! He forced you into marrying him' Despite all this, she gotta give him kudos, he really knew how to sweep a woman off her feets but it was so suprising how no woman has been able to experience these before her. She exhaled repeatedly as her mind drifted to what had happened earlier while she was still with Damon. He had helped her pick an outfit which was quite casual but business like, a dark suit with long pants and flat shoes,this basically covered covered her body.. not exposing any skin but her face and hand. She had chuckled silently but upon realizing how expensive the outfit was, she could only smile in appreciation.
As all three of them walked towards the conference hall, Sylvia kept muttering under her breath loud enough for Ryella to hear "look up straight, don't show that you are nervous and keep a smile on your face, a natural smile not a disgruntled one. Watch whatever you say, don't let anything anyone say rile you in any way. We have to keep your image in a positive limelight". "I completely understand Sylvia" Opening the door to the conference hall, she exhaled softly as lights from cameras kept flashing at her face, with a decent smile pasted on her face, she walked towards the platform. JW waved at her with a stupid grin on his face, he didn't expect her to agree to sign with WEC ( Weston Entertainment Company) which was the same company he was working with. Ryella responded with a curt nod, internally blaming herself for agreeing to sign with WEC, she didn't want to have to meet JW each
After a while of struggle getting through the group of reporters and away from their constant flashing of cameras, Ryella and Sylvia both breathed a sigh of relief. They got into a waiting and drove off to a private restaurant "The Royals" where only people with VVIP cards are allowed to show up at the door and which of course Sylvia had one. ". The restaurant respected the privacy of their clients and keep their identities a secret, the restaurant is divided into different cabins and no one knows the backer behind it but everyone knows that it's not a common restaurant that must be trifled with or your existence gets wiped off the surface of the earth. They met JW, Dominique and Carol already chatting away like long time friends and the ladies laughed at a joke, obviously what JW said. He was the first to notice the pair who had come in "Welcome, hope the reporters didn't give you a hard time" he inquired with a sardonic smile on h
A petite nineteen years old girl boarded from a plan 'its so nice to be back. I'm so excited to meet him'. She looks around the airport in search of the very familiar face she had imprinted into her mind for so many years. Damon stepped out of his car in front of his parents home,he was on a phone call and the expression on his face wasn't too good, he slowly clenched and unclenched his fist, took a deep breath as the smiling image of Ryella crossed his mind, he found himself smiling again while Derek groaned at the thought of his lost vacation and salary "uhm dude, you're smiling again. You should really stop doing that in public or people wouldn't think you've change and start being more disrespectful". A cold, stoic expression replaced the smile. Derek sighed and continued in a hushed tone. "If you want, I could go and get the young mistress to keep you company for the rest of today if the d
Facade JW stomped into the doorstep of the house that Damon just left, he paid not much attention to Cassandra who was gawking at him with her mouth wide open "shut your mouth, I know I'm good looking" That seemed to get Cassandra back to reality and she sneered at him inwardly 'you think you are good looking, you can't be compared to my future husband'. "Stop staring" JW frowned and he walked into the house to find George and Caitlin in a make out session, he cleared his throat noisily interrupting them "Aunt, Uncle you aren't teens anymore, you should take this to your room" Caitlin playfully glared at him "Shut up Jin, admit that you are jealous and I'm not that old" George took that chance to smack Caitlin's butt but Cassandra came in at that moment and her face suddenly turned red. "What brings you here this evening kiddo". "Mother, Father, big brother
