Daryl ValerioI end the call before throwing the phone on the bed. I had a long day handling business deals and sorting out documents and now I was exhausted. After taking off my tie and shirt, I examined my chest in the mirror.Stella's marks from her nails were fading but still slightly present. She was one hell of a woman in bed. She did things that Suprised me to the limit because at first she was typically shy and what made me think more about it was that she hadn't done any of those things with Brad.I thought back on the first time I saw her. The only thing I thought was that she was a regular stupid maid that will get fired really soon. I was wrong; She was beautiful, with her hair tied up in a bun and those captivating blue eyes.When I found out that Amanda was cheating on me especially with that good for nothing Leon, I was fucking furious, hurt and angry. We've been together for years and not once did I ever cheat or look at another woman the way I did to her. I guess I wa

Mordechai I ran a hand through my hair before releasing a deep breath. This was not happening. I was so angry at my father ; he had no right to decide my life for me. I have no intentions of getting married right now. I knew that this would happen and the men helped along with it. If I wasn't married by then end of the year I will be removed from the heir position to the empire.My dad had been talking about it for over a year now and I had my sights on it to manage and be the CEO of it. But I didn't things would go down like this. Married or not I'm still capable of taking care of it and besides a wife will only get in the way. Especially one that is either a gold digger or likes to challenge me.I didn't even have a clue as to what my mom would say. She hasn't been around much for the past months either. It was suspicious but I never asked her anything about it ; that was dad's job. Matteo had been doing nothing than drinking and partying. He was going to be the owner of a small ca

"Welcome, Mr. Simmons have been expecting you".I stepped inside the house as the maid closed the door behind me. It was a wonderful place ; so spacious and the decor had perfect shades of grey and white. Denver sure has good taste."I'm Ruth by the way. I've been working here for some time now and I can tell that Mr. Simmons has a keen interest in you", the maid said as I followed after her."What do you mean by 'a keen interest in me? All I will be doing is some paper work", I say as we made it to the stairs. She stopped and looked at me with a small smile."Trust me, if you weren't well admired, you wouldn't be here".I kept silent after that as I followed her upstairs and into an elevator. She pressed a button and then we started to go up. I placed my hands in my coat pocket as I closed my eyes and went into my thoughts. I had a break down yesterday all because of what Devin said. I admitted to myself that I may have feelings for Mordechai but thats all they were. Or maybe it was

MordechaiI smirked to myself as I dropped another stack of files on Vanessa's desk. She will be back at work Monday and I hope she knows that it's gonna be one hell of a week for her. After leaving her office I went back to mine and was suprised to see my father waiting for me. We barely spoke after the meeting back in Paris. I really wasn't in the mood to talk about marriage right now."Dad, what are you doing here?", I asked but he didn't even glance at me. He kept staring out of space before he got up and gave me his attention. Seeing hoe serious he was, whatever he had to say can't be good. I sighed in my mind as I waited for him to speak."This assistant of yours...Vanessa was it, what's going on between you two?", was his next words which had me in an unresponsive state. What was he talking about?."What do you mean?""Don't play dumb with me Mordechai, now tell me whats going on? Is it because of her you don't want to get married. I have some very dear friends who have beautif

For a few seconds I stood at my office door wondering if I was in the right building. I had to blink a few times to register what I was seeing. Stacks and stacks of paperwork on my desk. This was unbelievable and seriously unfair.After closing the door I went to my desk and took a deep breathe as my anger started to rise. I shouldn't be suprised because with a boss like Mordechai this was bound to happen. He liked taking control and watching the people below him suffer. These files won't be completed until next month.Knock! Knock!I didn't even bother to say anything because I knew it was him. I sat around my desk and turned on the computer. I heard the door opened before closing after a few seconds. I didn't even glance at him. Probably thinking that this isn't enough paper work for me."Vanessa, finally your back. I see you have alot of work cut out for you".I could hear the mockery in his voice. I sat there staring at my computer screen hoping he would get my message that I did
