"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

    Once again, she shifted her thoughts back to the room. Her bedroom at the Kentley's Mansion was beautiful. But this right here was perfection. It wasn't as big as the one at the Mansion, but it was perfect, so perfect that she took out her phone and took a selfie. A reminder that she was once living a life of royalty and a reminder that she once slept and woke up in luxury, a lifestyle that few humans like the Kentleys experience everyday. Something to always remind her whenever she returns to Elfer-town that her experience at Yardstin was real.It felt good to know that within a couple of months, she has been exposed to a life of luxury, a life that she's never dreamt of her entire life. She dropped her phone and bag on the marble chair beside her. Then she walked into the bathroom. On opening the door, she was greeted by the lovely smell of lavender. She smiled to herself. It was now clear to her that Simon had no intention of taking her back to Creek Island before now. He knew la

    Both of them made their way to the side lounge. The cold air caressed their skin. A strand of her hair flew over to her face. Simon stared at her from his standing position beside her. Paige shivered in response to the cold air. She changed her mind about taking a walk since she was not properly covered, there was no doubt that she might catch a cold if she went ahead. "Let's just sit here." She told him and he nodded in agreement. He already decided within him that there was no way he was going to let her take a walk in what she was wearing. She sat on the lounge chair resting her back on the back rest. Simon covered her exposed thigh with a clean thick blanket that was placed on a side stool beside the lounger chair. It was a known routine that he loved sitting out on the side lounge every evening whenever he visited Lakeview. So, a thick blanket was always made available for him once it was evening. "Thank you." She told him gratefully. "Your house is so beautiful Simon. There

    Paige made her way to the bedroom, utterly exhausted. She didn't get to explore the beach house and its surroundings as much as she wanted but she hoped they would still come back. When Simon suggested spending the rest of the week there, she was thrilled and was tempted to accept. But on second thought, she knew it wasn't the best thing to do. There was no denial of the attraction they felt for each other.But his words about priority kept ringing in her head. So, she knew the only thing she needed was space, to be away from him at least for a while. So as to think properly and make calculated decisions. Being close to him strips her of the ability to think straight. So, spending the whole week with him at Lakeview will do her no good. Rather every single barrier she manages to build would end up destroyed in no time.All she thought about whenever she was with him was either how soft the feel of his lips will be on hers, his hands grabbing her naked ass or being wrapped up in his s

"This is suppose to be a small dinner between us and our family friends. Why am I hearing stuff like ice sculpture and game boards?" Noah Tedson asked nobody in particular. He was seated on one of the armchairs with his wife leaning on his shoulder while he stroked and caressed her hair and neck. "I thought so too." Felix Tedson, The youngest of the family added. "Mum." Franklin called turning to his mother. Every other member of the family did the same.The whole idea of the anniversary was for the family to have a round the table dinner with very few family friends. But hearing the event planner talk about certain things, it was obvious someone told her something entirely different and everyone knew it would definitely be Sarah Tedson. "What?"

    Paige stood in front of the mirror. She was still in her temp. room. Putting on a lovely ash colored dress Simon got for her. She twirled round, stunned at the perfection and beauty of the dress. The back of the dress was low cut and stopped close to her waistline with a tiny knotted rope at her mid back. She smiled satisfactorily and reached out to the shopping bag the dress came in, emptying all its content, including a four inches silver glitters heel, a perfume and a plain transparent box containing a bracelet fell off. She opened it up and brought the jewelry close. She didn't need a seer to tell her what precious stone the piece was made of. "Simon." She whispered in awe. A knock came on the door and Mrs Newman walked in. She helped take Paige's tote bag which had her few belongings to the car while Paige dressed up. "Oh, Mrs. Newman." She called. "How do I look?" She asked her. "You look adorable. There are no words to actually describe how breath-taking you look. Perfect,

    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!"
