They arrived at the venue right on time stepping into the lively ambiance with smiles as they approached the birthday celebrant."Happy birthday, Mr. Ramada, here's my gift for you. I hope you like it." Darius said, gesturing to Hezekia. She stepped forward and handed out the gift."Happy birthday, Mr. Ramada," she said with her sincere smile as she handed the present."Wow, thank you so much, Mr. Hidalgo, and also your date tonight is very beautiful," he said and gave a meaningful look to Darius.Darius glanced at Hezekiah, a glint of pride in his eyes. "Yes, she is. She looks stunning today," Darius replied, flashing her a warm, charming smile."Thank you, Mr. Ramada for the compliment," she shyly said."You're very welcome. I'll go great with a few more guests, but please enjoy yourselves!" he said leaving them to enjoy the evening's event."Let's go let's find our seats," Darius suggested as they walked toward their table and settled in.As they sipped their wines, Darius leaned i

"Good morning, Mr. Hedalgo and ma'am. How may we assist you?" inquired the saleswoman as they stood within the boutique. He is well-known in this Mall as he is one of the investors and contributors."I'm looking for an elegant gown for her. Additionally, please include a bikini, shirt, shorts, or a dress in the selection," he replied.The saleswoman acknowledged, "Okay, sir. This way, ma'am and sir," leading them. They followed her to the designated area."You can take a seat here while waiting," she suggested. Darius complied, occupying himself with his tablet.The saleswoman inquired, "Do you like this one, ma'am?" Hezekiah, upon checking the price, was taken aback. "Wait, this one is very expensive. $50,000 for this gown?""Don't be concerned, madam, as Mr. Hedalgo will take care of the payment.""But these garments, all of them are quite pricey," she remarked. The cost of one gown could cover a substantial amount of her food."No need to worry, madam. Simply choose the dress and c

Hezekiah felt so tired. " I hope to win the lottery to be a queen," she said. She was lying in her bed. Still waiting for her boyfriend's reply.Deciding to take a brief nap while awaiting his reply, she told herself, "I will just nap. I will call him later." After a short 10-minute nap, she was awakened by a sound.Excitedly realizing it was Sandro, she picked up the call, saying, "Hello, babe?""Hello, how are you? Sorry, I didn't notice your call earlier and text. I am so busy," he explained."No, babe it's okay. I'm tired. we closed the deal with one of the last target investors we had, and she likes my design," she proudly said to him."Yes, I am, but babe. Can I cancel our date tomorrow? I have a very important meeting with my client," he said.Hezekiah felt a little bit sad but grateful she was ultimately relieved not to have conflicting plans."It's okay, babe. I will go somewhere tomorrow too. Our big investor invited us to his birthday party, babe, and he expects me to be th

"Just shut up and go with me, no more buts," Darius said getting his hands on Hezekiah's mouth."Yucks," She murmured."Are you saying anything?" he asked while scrolling his iPad."Nothing," she said, keeping her mouth shut."I think that is Mr . Ramada's assistant, sir," Hezekiah said while pointing to the girl as they arrived at the location."I know, don't tell me," Darius coldly said, going in first."Very rude jerk," she said and clenched her fist.As they approached the entrance, they saw Mr. Ramada's assistant who guided them to the private room."This way ma'am and sir," The girl guides them."Thank you." She smiled awkwardly because her boss did not respond to the girl."Nice to see you both today," Mr. Ramada greeted, shaking hands with them."Good morning, Mr. Ramada.""Good morning, Sir," she sweetly smiled at the old man, following her boss's advice to help sway him."Please have a seat, Mr. Hedalgo and Ms. Peterson." They settled on an expensive sofa, facing the old man

"What is this? Why did you lock us in your room? What are you doing?" Hezekiah wondered and seriously looked at him."This is what you like, right? I know you have feelings for me so you sabotaged my relationship with Liana didn't you?" He walks approaches her and smirks."No! What are you talking about? I will never do that," she denied any involvement in ruining their relationship. "Are you denying it?" he asked in misbelief."You're mistaken, sir. I haven't done a thing, and I must emphasize, I don't have any feelings for you." She felt the cold wall against her back, realizing she had no escape. Kiah was cornered by her boss."You're a liar! Are you that desperate to ruin our relationship? You're so pathetic!"He yelled, and the intensity of his despise was evident in his eyes."What? am I pathetic? I will never ruin your relationship! You're the one who wrecked my life. After you make love with me you leave me behind hanging." She didn't care if anyone overheard them. She was done
