Paige was surprised to hear his reply. Why would a man such as Simon want her company so badly that he had to spend such a huge amount of money to purchase a house just to have her attention. She hoped that everything would be as he said.

If spending a whole year in Yardstin is all she needs to do in order to keep her home and business, then it will be worth it. The money she will realize from working at the hospital for the year won't be anywhere close to being enough to buy a house. Even if she adds her income from Pai-boxes, it still won't be enough.

So, it was best to stay back, have fun, and keep her home at the end. Many people might refer to it as being selfish and lazy. But at that point, it was a hundred percent okay to be lazy. Paige thought.

All her life, she's been carrying everyone's burden. From one person to the other. All her income kept going into providing for her stepmother and sister in order to keep them happy. There was Stefan, whom she was indirectly taking car

    Simon placed a call to Charles, who picked up on the second ring. "What is the update?" He asked. "We dropped her off with her family at Anthill. All her money paid in full, including the bonuses, just as you instructed. Charles explained. "Good." He replied still clicking on his computer screen. He proceeded to open a mail from Bruce."Charles." He called, seeing the contents of the mail. "Yes Boss." "I will forward an image to you after this call. I need the fool in the picture tracked down, and interrogated. He threatened my guest with a gun at a restaurant today. When you find him, find out who he is working for, then do whatever you want with him. Just make sure to get me a name." He told Charles. "Okay boss." He replied before Simon could hang up. It was true that he has gotten rid of Melissa but he couldn't deny that not having a replacement or the thought of therapy was draining him of the little strength he had left. Being a sex addict haven't been his fault entirely. I

    "You don't have to. You really do not stand a chance and this is coming from a place of love." Paige told him smiling. "That can't be true. It's coming from a very deep place of hate. How can a beauty like you have such a foul mouth. It's so worrisome." He feigned seriousness. "Oh please" She stressed jokingly. "Anyway, I was hoping that one day, you could tell me about your business. I'll love to know how it works, Nathan told me your company deal on diamonds. How do one transform a precious stone from its raw state? I mean what are the processes it undergoes before getting to its final state." She engaged him, hoping to change their current topic and also hear him talk about his business. At least, that will be a starting point at knowing more about him."I sure will. Let's go eat now. I will tell you about it later." He replied. Paige nodded, she placed bottles of water on a tray and carried them to the dinning table. She was followed closely behind by Simon who carried their foo

    "Explore it Sunflower, please yourself. Explore every corner there." He watched her scream and moan with pleasure while he sang praises of her telling her that she was doing great. Moments later, Paige hit the biggest orgasm of her life. She slumped onto the chair exhausted and of course a wave of shame swept through her. She was disappointed that she let Simon see her in such a state. This was the most vulnerable she has ever been in his presence. Getting the cue, Simon stood up and wrapped her up in a warm hug. He carried her up in bridal style, with her hands fastened round his neck, while her face remained buried in his shoulder. Instead of passing through the normal entrance, Simon headed towards the wall on his left. He punched a code and a door no one knew about opened up. The door could easily be mistaken as part of the wall because it looked exactly like a wall. Just he wanted people to see. He went past the door, into a corridor with dim lights. He pressed another button

    Paige smiled sadly. "Which of the houses?" She asked. "The same house you sold? Please, which of the houses ma?" Veronica paused for a while before replying. "Oh, so you heard about it already. It should be from that loquacious boyfriend of yours. What was I even thinking? I must confess, I'm surprised that the both of you are still in talking terms though. I thought he dumped your sorry ass. Because we've been seeing him around with that Haroldson girl from Greywich since you left. Is he still your boyfriend though? Like, are you guys still dating or he dumped you?" Veronica asked with mocking laughter. Paige knew what she was trying to do. But she was determined not to give in to her stupid jabs. "I really don't see how my personal life became your business." She replied. "Oh it is. It is very much my business my dear. Are you giving all your money to your boyfriend Paige? I'm asking nicely because I care about you and your feelings. Stop giving that boy your money. We heard he

    "I'm sorry you had to go through all of this, no one deserves what you went through. It's all shades of wrong." Simon said genuinely. "It's fine though, I've made peace with all of it. I'm neither angry nor mad anymore. I just recall that phase of my life once in a while. It does hurt, but I'm good now. Thank you so much for being a great host and for tolerating my excesses." She told him. "Is that all you see me as? A great host?" He asked, but got no reply. Frustrated, he stood up. "I'll just leave you to eat your food. I was wondering if you'd like to go out today. I want to make a quick stop at my house at Lakeview. It's a beach house, and It's not so far from here. You said your favorite sport is swimming, maybe you'd love to come along for a picnic and a swim as well. I don't want to leave you here all alone." He offered. "I would love to!" Paige exclaimed before she could think twice. "I mean, I would love to see your beach house." She rephrased in a much calmer voice, getti

    She was filled with admiration for the beach house. If the Kentley's Mansion was extremely gorgeous then Simon's beach house was a masterpiece. Once they stepped into the house, she could not hide the surprise on her face as her gaping mouth betrayed her. Shaking her head in appraisal, "This is wonderful Simon." She whispered. "Oh my god!!"The outside wall of the house was made of glass which gave them a clear view of the ocean from inside. The blue center rug and royal blue chairs gave the white sitting room walls an extra pop of color. There were no curtains as a result of the glass outer wall. Everything about the house was exquisite and classy. Faux flowers with German embellished vases were positioned at the edge of the walls. Lounge chairs were placed at the side-lounge just outside the house facing the ocean. "This place must have cost you a fortune." She said looking at him. "It sure did." He replied smiling. "I'm glad you love it. Can I ask the cook to serve you something

    "My father was sent for and I followed him to the hospital. When we got there, he told the doctor that my mother fell down the stairs. Later, I snuck in and told the doctor the whole truth. But guess what, he did nothing about it. My father was neither arrested, detained nor interrogated. Everybody was scared of snitching on him while they watched him kill an innocent woman. The doctor had enough evidence to at least detain him, but he didn't." He continued."Well, mum never made it out of the hospital alive. She died a couple of weeks later. Her death brought about the hatred I have for my father. I seriously wanted him dead. Thinking of everything now, I think he was scared. He thought I was going to keep talking until someone pays attention. He locked inside the house for months. I stopped going to school and he got me a home tutor who took her time with me. She cared for me and loved me like her son.""A couple of months later, my father started misbehaving. He'd come home with dif

    "Maybe you should recheck the meaning of a tease in your dictionary Mr. Simon Kentley." She said seductively while stepping closer to him. She stood a few inches away from him. Her breath touched his face. Both of them stood staring at each other. Suddenly, she took a step backward and without warning, pulled her lace knee length gown up above her shoulder revealing her well rounded and firm breast that was held in proper position by a black rayon bra with a matching underpant. On seeing the work of perfection in front of him, Simon swallowed hard. He stood rigid on the spot without a word."Do you like what you see?" She asked, mimicking his voice. "Now, I'm trying to tease you Simon, you called me one a few minutes ago. I need to live up to my new title. So tell me, do you like what you see?" She asked again. "I love it, you are perfect." He replied, still standing at the spot. He wanted to move over to her and grab her ass firmly but he was scared of his legs. Something told him t

    A gorgeous hostess led them upstairs to a quieter VIP bar that overlooked the stage and dance floor below. They were shown to a small seating area by the balcony and settled at a table hugged by two half-moon velvet sofas. The hostess propped a beverage menu in the center and said, "Your drinks are on the house. Enjoy your evening.""Wow!" Ugo whistled. "We scored.""I think that hawker recognized you from one of your court cases. Because how the hell are we getting such VIP treatment when we're yet to spend a dime." Daisy said out loud."Wouldn't that rock." Ugo grinned. "Or it could be the chef guy.... That dude is full of surprises. I've gotten too many gifts than I can't count since I met him. Yet, he's not interested in hitting this ass." "He could be pretending." Daisy fixed in. "Or taking it slow. The good old ways. He might be hoping to win you over thoroughly before making a move. In order words, he wants you to....""Loose my damn guard. Mmmm, not happening, not gonna happ

    "Look what I brought you." Daisy said instead of arguing. She pulled the champagne bottle and the chocolates and crackers out of the paper bag. "I'm not quite sure how cold the champagne is anymore, but we still have to drink it. And I heroically saved all of them, including the chocolates and crackers from the guy I was stuck in the elevator with, so we’d better enjoy them.""Well, of course we still have to drink that champagne. Give me that." Ugo grabbed the hotel water glasses as Daisy pulled the foil off the champagne bottle. "I can’t believe you were stuck in the elevator all that time. And why weren’t you texting me back. Was your battery out?" "Okay, there’s a story there, but let’s toast to you first before I get into all of that." Daisy twisted the metal lid open and pulled out the cork with a gentle pop. After she poured a healthy amount into each of their glasses, she held hers up.

    "I've been doing fine for years now. Please just go back to wherever you're coming from and let me be."Brett moved over to her and crotched down opposite her. "Go on a date with me, over the weekend."Daisy burst into laughter. "Is this guy a joke or something." She asked rhetorically, loud enough to Brett's hearing. "No.""Come on.....""I'm not going on any godforsaken date with you Mr Lexington. Not in your wildest dream.""Okay." he said pushing two open hands forward to calm her down. "Go to a fundraiser with me then. Technically, I wanted you to be my plus-one at the fundraiser organized by the Mayor over the weekend and maybe we could go on a date afterwards. But since you said no date, let's go to the fundraiser together." He offered."No.""Daiz. I promise you, if after the fundraiser, you decide that you don't want to be see me ever again. I won't bother you. Just this once, please?"Daisy became calm for a moment. She looked up at his angelic face and watched him flash a s

    CHAPTER 1"What time do you even plan on getting here. Are you sure you're still coming?" Daisy listened to Ugo whine over the phone."I'm all dressed up already. You'll see me soon, I promise. I just had a really stressful day at work and I had to make a quick stop at home to get into a more comfortable footwear." she tried explaining. Pushing the door of her walk-in closet close, she pulled a black leather jacket across her black singlet, sat on the bed and bent low to buckle her sandals when she heard Ugo's next words."You're changing footwear? Don't tell me you plan on wearing any of those boring flat sandals of yours.""Something wrong my flats?" "Really, you're going to ask me that." Ugo boiled."We're going out to celebrate for crying out loud. You have to look the part. Put on a pair of those gorgeous Louboutins you got there. Why do you splash so much money on exotic footwear when you don't wear them.""Hello, are you forgetting something? You're forgetting that you make me

    Paige was more shaken than she cared to admit. Somehow she did not expect Stefan to openly confess his infidelity. She had thought perhaps he would attempt to deny it."Why, Stefan?"He reached for her hands, but she pulled them out of his reach. "Why, Paige? Because you were always so unapproachable. There were times when you turned me on, made me so hot that I thought I was going to explode... and ......... and then you would just put up that damned 'don't touch me' shield. And when you did that I had to have someone else. Any woman.""You're a liar, Stefan. Why didn't you tell me that you wanted me?"He managed a winning smile. "I guess way back in my head I wanted to save you for marriage."Paige's smile was cynical and sinister. "It's too bad you didn't save Aurora, because I'm history, Stefan Riley."She stood up, holding her glass. Stefan never had time to react when she walked to his side and emptied the glass in his lap.She replaced the glass on the table, smiling. "That shou

    The next morning, Paige woke up to an empty bed. Simon didn't come in throughout the night and she was just too stubborn to go to him. She sighed, had a quick shower and left to grab a quick coffee in the kitchen. Veronica was prepping their breakfast when she showed up and she took two biscuits from the freshly baked ones and cup of coffee."Have a nice day Mrs. Veronica." She called."You too ma. But won't you eat something better than just biscuits? I'm baking banana bread." She called after Paige."Yummy, keep some for me. I'll be back in a couple of hours." She replied from the living room. She scanned the house and saw no trace of Simon. Gulping down her coffee and biscuits she rushed to the kitchen to wash the cup but it was taken by Veronica. "I'll do that ma'am." She offered. "Thank you so much." She grabbed her phone and sent Simon a quick text telling him where she was headed before opening the door.

    They floated together, each motion smooth and fluid as if the music had been choreographed just for them and them alone. Unspoken whispers and desires raced back and forth, telegraphing a savage hunger, a desperate need. Their bodies were in perfect harmony. Paige needed and Simon fed her.The desire to share her body with Simon Kentley surpassed all reason and common sense. But at that moment common sense was what Paige lacked most. She wanted to experience the waves of ecstasy he had given her earlier; she wanted the peace Simon offered, and in turn she would give him the love he sought from a woman.The musical selection ended and Simon led Paige through the throng. The next number was a rocking, upbeat tempo which got everyone to their feet, moving in time to the pounding, driving rhythm.Simon caught Tenor's arm. "We'll be on our way now.""You're leaving?" Tenor asked. Simon nodded, and Paige was as surprised as Tenor. "Give them whatever they want," he informed Tenor."You're

    Fiona boldly walked up to them and flashed a smile."Who the hell let this pest in for god's sake." Simon swore under his breath making Paige giggle. "Hi Mr. Kentley." Fiona started with her annoying voice. "Miss Ruben, how are you?" Simon called coldly but Fiona did not seem to notice the coldness in his voice. "I'm managing to survive." She replied. Leaning forward, she peered at Paige. "Hi there, it's you again." She smiled "Won't you introduce us officially Mr. Kentley. I mean we're all here because of her." She said, draping her arm on Simon's hand.He gently removed her arm. "Miss Ruben, this is Paige Patterson, my girlfriend."A frown marred Fiona's beautiful face. "Your girlfriend." She murmured in annoyance."Fiona's father is a business pal of my dad's," Simon stated, deliberately ignoring Fiona. "This woman is no fucking girlfriend of yours!"
