Chapter 6

Theron's POV

I was in my office and my best friend Adrian was there. He was telling me about his latest escapades with some girl. He is so crazy, that's why my sister dumped his ass. Don't ask me how because I never concerned myself with their relationship I'm not an overprotective brother and Alexis is capable of protecting herself.

" Oh you don't know man, that girl is a gazelle. Her boobs are so soft and her butt is jiggly and my hands feel are on cloud nine, " he waved his hands in my face with a stupid smile on his face. I chuckled and shook my head. This one is definitely a sex addict.

" Alright man but can you go now, I have so much work to do. And by the way, are you coming to the opening ball of the hotel, or are you going to shack up some gazelle?" I asked him with a little smirk. " What do you take me for, my brother? I wouldn't miss it for the world. Besides, I won't miss out on anything because I'm going to see my sweetie," he winked at me and I facepalmed.

As I said he and my sister had a relationship. It ended but Adrian never stopped pursuing Alexis. If I guess I would say Alexis caught him cheating and that's why their relationship went south.

" She is coming right," surprisingly saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He is a fucking man whore but he claims to love Alexis. Who even understands love because I don't.

" Listen, man, you know how Alexis Is. She is a tough nut to crack and a ball is not her scene. I will talk to her and find out if she's coming but just don't get your hopes up," I told him.

For a moment he was crestfallen but what could I do? I can't say anything to him because, in the end, it's between them. " Okay man, I will leave you to it. I need a strong drink," he got up and left. I feel sorry for him but there is absolutely nothing I can do. I sighed leaning back on my chair and closed my eyes to relax a little.

Not even a minute passed when someone just walked in. I opened my eyes and saw the last person I wanted to see. " Sarah,"

" Hello, Theron baby!" She exclaimed running to me and throwing her arms around. Her strong perfume wafted into my nose and I immediately wanted to puke. Being the gentleman I am, I pushed her off me in a non-aggressive manner although I wanted to push her hard so she would get a hint.

" What are you doing here Sarah?" I asked her in an annoyed tone. She was shocked as if I hurt her feelings. " What do you mean my love, I've missed you. I have been waiting to see you for a long time now," I rolled my eyes at her sickly sweet voice.

" Sarah, get some things straight. I'm not your love nor have I been. You and I had a fleeting fling years ago so don't read so much into it because you and I," I gestured between us, " Will never be a thing," I declared with finality. As always, it went over her head.

" Oh don't say that my love. This is real and I feel it," I chuckled in disbelief. My God, this lady must be crazy or tripping on something. " well I'm not feeling a thing so, please toss your feelings in the trash can and get out of here." Her happy caked-up face fell but I couldn't care less. I don't want her actions towards me to attract attention, especially the attention of my mother.

" Baby please list-"

" Oh, would you rather be escorted out by security? Tell and I shall arrange them for you," I said looking her in the eyes to show her I was serious. I could see that she was embarrassed but I would make good on my threat if she kept on being insistent.

With her face red, she gave in and stormed out of my office. I sighed once again. Good riddance! I so regret the day I laid my on her and ended up hooking up with her. I told her from the get-go that our relationship was just that of two consenting adults who just wanted to satisfy each other, with no feelings involved. Honestly, she is starting to get on my last nerve. She stalks me and she has even moved into the hotel just to paster me. Unfortunately, I can't turn down anyone who wants to stay in the hotel. If I do she might write a bad review about the hotel and create a scandal. So I bear with tolerating her presence. And my mother wants me to marry her? I would divorce her the very same day. She is not the type of woman I would want to spend the rest of my life with.

Benedicta's POV

Today I was so distracted while working. I kept thinking back at what happened yesterday. I couldn't stop thinking about that man. Why did he call me by that name? Miranda. Could I have some sort of connection to that person? Questions that remain unanswered.

I wish to see him again so I can ask him what he meant. Or maybe I'm just stretching the matter. Such things happen but it doesn't mean much. My God! Can you help me? This feeling of desperation won't let go of me. It's like a drive or force that is propelling me towards something unknown. Should I pursue this matter or not? Oh, God! My mind is in overdrive. What predicament am I stuck in and what does this matter to me?

I know what I can do to end this confusion once and for all. I will find out about the man and I will ask him about Miranda. Maybe if he tells me something about it and why he called me by her name, my mind will finally be at peace.
