I ask in a breathless voice while pushing Pete to dislodge him from my boob he was suckling on like a greedy baby hungry for milk but he won’t budge. Pete is high again and for some reason very cranky today. Since he got the summons from his father’s secretary,“Pete, stop! Your dad just walked in I think”I have never met Robert Williams before but everyone who is into finance knows who he is.One of the youngest billionaires, his company is his life. He is known for being ruthless in getting what he wants but that’s not all. He looks so perfect and handsome, if his billion-dollar empire fails he can give models a run for their money.Thankfully , the position we are in covers my nakedness, and Pete’s dad can’t see much especially since he is standing in the shadow of the dimly lit passageway but I am flushed with embarrassment because any mature adult can guess what Pete is doing.I drag down my top and push Pete off. Pete sighs: seemingly disappointed, turning to look in the direction of his dad“Dad can’t you see I am busy”“Can’t this wait till we are done?”He questions his father tartly while rising from the sofa.“Pete, Don't you have any form of respect for the lady you are with ?”“I thought you told me she was your girlfriend and she is supposedly different, “Robert says in response.I stand to finish putting my clothes in order, this is not how I envisioned meeting Robert Williams for the first time. I always give into Pete’s demands and wants, I told him that we should behave since we are at his father's house but he never listens to me and I always give in. I am a pushover as my mum says and now I look like a cheap slut to one of the top financiers in the country.“To my office right now, “Robert says in a stern voice.Pete huffs and puffs in indignation, steam is running out of his ear, plus the unmissable fact that he is as high as a kite.I always wonder how I keep getting myself into such compromising situations.I feel an intense stare and I look up and freeze, Robert’s gaze is on me. I feel an involuntary shiver run through my spine, this must be why people are scared of him, his gaze is like that of a predator after his prey. Until now the darkness of the passageway was covering him but he stepped into the light and I lost my senses.Oh lord! What a breathtaking specimen he is, magazine covers don't do him justice.“Ava, Come on!! we don't have all day, come into the study let hear what he has to say”“ I can't miss the rave party my frat house is throwing today. Pete's voice echoes into the sitting room.I blink furiously trying to get myself out of the trance I found myself in. I look down: tucking my hair behind my ear and still feeling Robert's gaze move towards the glass door but as I pass in front of Robert my legs give out and I feel myself falling to the floor.In a flash strong arms, ensnare my waist and stabilize me against very solid muscles, into what I could only describe as heaven.“Easy there, sweet girl “This is all I hear as I am encompassed by strong arms and the most intoxicating masculine scent. I involuntarily look up and Roberts's gaze is fixed on me but it has softened to an unreadable expression.“Thank you,”I say in a small confused voice.Immediately he steps back and I miss his warmth, what is wrong with me this is my boyfriend's father. Silently she turns and heads to his office while I follow suit. Our little moment earlier was already forgotten.In Roberts's office, Pete lays down on the sofa and I sit on the armchair.“How could you break a brand new car in two weeks?”“What is wrong with you?”“Be thankful that the owner of the other car you collided with came out unharmed and was willing to settle”Robert's voice booms throughout the office.“What if something had happened to you or your girlfriend”“You should be grateful she dared to call my office or this issue would have been worse “ Robert continues.“Dad, I am sorry ok but everything is fine, it all worked out thanks to you”“So please can I go now? I have places to be and things to do “Pete responds while standing up to leave the office.I am not surprised by Pete's behavior, he is a spoilt best who has no regard for anyone except himself. I ask myself most times why I agreed to date him but I know why. Even in his selfish ways, he makes me feel wanted.Glancing up at Robert, I see the exasperated look on his face, it's very obvious that he loves his son, and that is why he puts up with all his attitude.“This is my last warning to you Pete, one more mess up and there will be consequences,”Roberts says while facing the window of his office, his back turned.Until now he has not addressed me, it's like I am not even present in the room but I am used to being ignored and blending into the background, it is essentially my life memo.“Ava, come on! We are leaving “Pete says to me, he opens the door and walks out. I follow suit“Ava, thank you for managing the situation and getting in contact with me “Robert says out loud and I stop in my tracks“The lady told me of how you took care of her and stayed with her till the ambulance arrived ““She is not pressing charges because it will implicate you too”Robert turns to look at me and I immediately become tongue-tied, the aura emitting from him is so magnetic. when I don't respond,He walks towards me and stretches out his hand“Take this card, it's my line. If my son messes up again and you need to contact me, use it “he says softly.Collecting the card, I nod and turn to leave, now in awe that I now possess the personal number of Robert Williams what are the odds? I turn and leave.“Have you met my father before Ava?”Pete questions me as we enter his latest car his mum got him.“No, I have not ““Only spoke to his secretary the day of the accident”“Why are you asking?” I respond.Pete doesn't give me a reply and we head towards the location of the frat party.Four hours later, I frantically searched for my purse in a room filled with college kids, drunk, all high, and some very handsy with each other. Finding my bag under the ping pong table near what looks and smells like vomit, I empty it on the table, and is shoved from behind. Stumbling, I hold the table to stabilize myself, looking back at a drunk guy I don't even recognize. Focusing on my task, I almost cry in relief when I find what I am looking for. Clutching my phone, I claw my way out of the party to the front door. After some effort of pushing and shoving, I exit the frat house and walk a distance, finding somewhere quiet before dialing the number with shaky hands. I hope to God he picks up, after a few rings, the line connects,“Robert, it's Pete's girlfriend Ava ““Please help me!!”Tears streaming down my face, I stare at my shaking left hand. Raising my eyes, I meet Roberts's unflinching gaze. But for some reason, I don’t back down or flinch, neither do I feel remorseful for the slap. “Who do you think you are to throw such filthy accusations at me?”“You don’t own me and you are not even man enough to admit your feelings for me?”I spit out the words with a sob, I feel so drained of everything, how does it think it is ok to treat me like this just because I am in love with him? Why does everyone always think it is ok to treat me as they please? To use me for there’s purposes and then discard me whenever they like. “I thought you were different from the rest of them”“You told me I was special and you promised to never hurt me but now I know you were lying”“You were just using me and toying with my emotions”I continue, raising my hands to wipe my eyes. I reign in my emotions “But no more!”“I won’t force you to trust me”“I have had enough of this!”“If yo
It has been about an hour of pure torture watching, Ava strut around with that blond bimbo she calls her date. Looking in the direction of their table I see him bend and whisper something into her ears once more, while she giggles. I am battling the urge to go over there and beat the shit out of him for daring to get close to what belongs to me. My woman!! Mine !!Running a hand through my hair in frustration, I try to focus on my surroundings and the conversation going on around me. Turning beside me, I find Elena gazing at me with a pensive look on her face. Fuck! Fuck! What is wrong with me? I am drooling and obsessing over the wrong woman. The woman I need to be all over right now is Elena. My business is still at stake for crying out loud!Picking up the glass of champagne placed in front of me, I drink it down in one go. Extending my hand towards Elena, I rise from my seat. “Mademoiselle, would you do me the honors of this dance?”I say with my best smile plastered on my
Stepping out of the cab, I try to straighten the wrinkles in my gown. Who would have thought that one of the gowns I insisted I wouldn’t need during my shopping spree in Paris would come in handy? Ro almost fell into a coma when I showed her this couture gown, she said she could really die of envy if I didn’t promise her a turn in this gown. My lips curve into a small smile because of this memory “Princess, you look absolutely beautiful ““So breathtaking and stunning”“So will you stop fussing over imaginary wrinkles on the dress ok”“Trust me, wrinkles will be the last thing anyone will be thinking of when they see you in that dress”“You look like a goddess, I thought I was having a heart attack when you walked out of your friend's house”“I consider myself the luckiest man Tonight”Elvis says launching into his ever-sweet serenade of how lucky he is to be my date. Taking a deep breath and standing fully, I square my shoulder while giving Elvis my sweetest smile, so he won’t sens
Robert “Ava! Ava! Ava!”That is all I can think about for the past week. That is the name that has been ringing in my head as a bell. I never realized how deep her claws sank into me until now. My biggest business deal (Astrofin) is about to fall apart, a deal I have invested all the company's assets and even took out a loan to acquire, because I saw and still see the promise. If done right acquiring this company will set me miles ahead of every finance company in the whole of New York. But with the way things are going, I might have moved too soon. my obsession with Ava is not helping matters either.It’s been three days since her last text entered my phone and I have still not replied to any of her calls or texts. I believe her story that she didn’t betray me. I now know this was all orchestrated by Florence because that is the only way to explain how I came to have the photos. She moves fast and the fact that Ava is gullible enough to let herself be used by Florence Irks me to n
The cloud of euphoria I was existing in vanished and a feeling of numbness spread through me.Staring at the pictures spread out on the floor, I try to open my mouth to speak but no words are formed. I look at the man I can barely recognize with cold eyes and a freezing aura, the man who some minutes ago fucked my brains out in the best way possible. The Robert standing before me now is the ruthless businessman who is famed for his tenacity in getting what he wants. Bending down, I pick one of the photos that shows Pete embracing me with a grin on his face. The next one shows me returning the embrace with a warm smile. Looking at the others spread against the floor, I spot one that shows Pete kissing me and a wide smile on my face in the next with me in his arms in the air. From this angle, I can't bring myself to be mad at Robert for not trusting me and insinuating that something is happening with Pete because this photo is very incriminating. “I asked you a question, Ava?”“Wh
Robert Watching Ava step into my office looking like a drowned cat kickstarts my protective instinct, she looks so innocent with her uncertainty flashing in her beautiful doe eyes. It seems she was caught in the rain because I can see her hair now parted in two braids is still damp and her clothes too, But I have been fooled by innocence before. When she agreed to be my lover, I hoped she would accept the plans I had for her in hopes that she would never have to bother about rain and every other uncontrollable factor but now I can understand why she might have been holding back all this time. Ava steps closer to my desk, her steps unsure my protective side tries to fight against my fury but glancing at the photo on the table my fury wins.Pressing the privacy button, I gaze at the person in front of me. “Where have you been Ava?”“Why do you look like a drowned cat”I bark She shredders and replies in a low tone “Sorry I am late, traffic was insane due to the weather”“I didn’t
My eye has been twitching since I woke up this morning, that is a bad sign. I went to bed last night with an uneasy feeling in my guts. Rob has not been responding to my messages, Pete has not been answering my calls, and worse of all, Florence has been texting me nonstop. Gosh!!, what kind of a mess did I get myself into right now? My phone buzzes again signaling a message, I check it and it is from Florence. Ignoring it, I start arranging the outfit I will be wearing to work today. Staring at my Wardrobe, I take in the expensive array of clothes I now own, all thanks to Robert. On our trip to Paris last month, he insisted on shopping for me and it was wonderful. A private showroom at the “house of CB”, my favorite cloth brand. I felt like a Barbie doll In a dress house, the personal shopper ( Bridget ) Robert hired was like my very own Cinderella fairy godmother. She knew exactly what to bring and match, but the best part was the look on Robert’s Whenever I came out with a new ou
“A fucking police station, Pete!!!”“I now have to come get your ass out of the jail?”“Are you out of your damn mind ““What were you thinking?”“Just how dumb can you get for Christ's sake?”“How did I get stuck with an idiot for a son?”I thunder at Pete, vibrating with so much anger that I can barely contain myself. He is looking at me but I can barely see his eyes because they are swollen shut from the beating he got from the other party. His face is swollen and reddish in most areas, Pete looks like he has been run over by a truck. Dry blood traces all over his cotton top and his hair looks like a child took scissors to it. We are standing in the parking lot of the Las Vegas police prescient waiting for my lawyer, the whole place stinks of piss and burning rubber, looking around we are surrounded by patrol cars and cops roaming around, attending to their various duties which I am supposed to be doing too but here I am. “Dad, look I am sorry ok”“You need to have seen the other
AVA Robert storms out of his office, and into his private elevator. My gaze trails his exit till the elevator closes, I wonder how his left ankle is now. I don’t know what I was thinking when I made him climb down from my window but by the time I got a hold of myself the deed had been done.I am still in shock that I made the “Robert Williams” exit my house like a thief in the night. I have sent so many apology texts since then and he acknowledged them that it’s fine, so to make it up to him I prepared a surprise for Rob. Something I am sure he would love, I am getting excited just thinking about it. My phone alarm goes off signaling the time for lunch. Looking up from my system I glance at Anne and she is already packing to take her lunch break, Thank God! Anne has been unpredictable since my return back to work two days ago, she has been stricter and more nerve-wracking than usual, I can’t wait for this internship to be over. “Hey! You over there “I hear over my shoulder but
