Nathan walked slowly ahead, confidently. I followed, my heart racing with each step, but my mind was blank. Behind us, I could hear Carlos’ voice rising, desperate and furious.
“Mel! Mel, wait!” Carlos shouted, his voice cutting through the noise of the street.
I kept moving, refusing to look back. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of turning around. Not after what he did.
Suddenly, I felt a force tugging at my arm, and I stumbled slightly. Carlos had caught up, his grip tight and desperate. “Mel, please - -”
Before he could finish, one of Nathan’s guards, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, stepped in with lightning speed. The guard grabbed Carlos by the shoulder, pulling him back with surprising strength, his expression cold and unflinching.
“Let her go,” the guard said firmly, his voice low but commanding.
Carlos struggled for a moment, his eyes wide with frustration and anger, but he was no match for the guard’s strength. “Get your hands off me! This is between me and her!” Carlos shouted, but his protests fell on deaf ears.
Pachi, who had been watching from the doorway, rushed over, his face filled with concern. He grabbed Carlos by the arm, pulling him back further. “Carlos, let it go!” Pachi begged, his voice strained. “You’re only making this worse. Don’t do something you’ll regret.”
Nathan had already opened the door of his car for me, waiting with an air of calm detachment. I took another deep breath and stepped toward the car.
Before getting in, I stole one last look at Carlos. His face was twisted with anger and helplessness as Pachi held him back, but I didn’t let it affect me. He had made his choices, and now I was making mine.
I lowered myself into the car, and the moment I slid into the seat, I was struck by how luxurious it was. The smooth leather, the pristine dashboard, the sleek design, it was a Benz, and it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen.
Nathan’s office was a masterpiece of luxury. Everything in the office showed taste and class. I concluded he must be from a very rich family. Every detail is meticulously crafted to reflect power and prestige. I couldn’t help but be in awe as Nathan gestured for me to follow him inside.
“Welcome to my humble abode,” he said with a wry smile, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “Let me get some paperwork sorted out, and we will be on our way.”
Nathan had asked that we come to the office before he took me to his planned venue for a little getaway.
I had a plan, one that involved surprising him with a lap dance he wouldn’t soon forget. As we settled into the room, my mind raced with the details of my scheme.
“I was actually hoping to show you something,” I said, my voice mixed with playful anticipation.
Nathan chuckled. “Oh really? And what might that be?”
“Just a little something special and exotic,” I replied, trying to sound casual while my heart pounded in my chest. “I thought it might be fun.”
He raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued but amused. “Last time you tried something like this, let’s just say it didn’t quite go as planned. You remember, right?”
I bit my lip, remembering the awkwardness of our previous encounter. “Yes, I remember,” I said, trying to hide my embarrassment. “But I’m sure this will be different.”
Nathan laughed, shaking his head. “Nope, can do. Why don’t you freshen up a bit? We’ve got a dinner to catch.
I felt a rush of heat at his words. He was so close, his scent intoxicating, and all I wanted was to be closer to him. “Sure, I’ll just... use the restroom first,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady.
Nathan gestured towards a discreet door at the corner of the office. “It’s right there. Take your time.”
As I walked toward the door, I glanced back at Nathan. His eyes were focused on some papers on his desk, giving me the perfect opportunity to execute my plan. Once inside the restroom, I took a deep breath, my mind racing with excitement.
I quickly washed and changed into my lingerie, the soft fabric feeling like a second skin. I applied a touch of perfume, hoping to add a final layer of allure to my surprise. The anticipation was electric, and I could hardly wait to see Nathan’s reaction.
With a final check in the mirror, I took a moment to compose myself. Ready to make my entrance, I stepped out of the restroom, my body alive with the promise of what was to come.
Nathan was still focused on his work as I looked for the switch and turned off the lights, plunging the room into a dim blue glow. I started music on my phone, the slow, seductive rhythm filling the space. Moving with deliberate grace, I approached Nathan, my hips swaying in time with the beat.
My bra was a shallow-cupped bra that exposed most of my boobs to the nipple area while my pantyhose was lightly held by a thin g-string. I was as sexy as I could be.
I carefully placed myself on his lap, my body brushing against his. The sensation was electrifying, a mix of excitement and fear as I began to grind gently, every motion intended to captivate and seduce.
I felt a little uneasy because Nathan’s well-structured and fitted body now looked frail and soft. I thought maybe he was tired and maybe if I loosened myself a bit more.
But just as I began to lose myself at the moment, the lights blazed on with a sudden intensity, shattering the intimate atmosphere. My heart lurched as I looked up.
At first, it was difficult to see, but then it slowly became clear. Nathan was standing by the door, his expression a mixture of confusion and shock. So who was I dancing for?
“What’s going on here?” Nathan’s voice cut through the haze of music, his tone demanding and authoritative.
I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks, Nathan wasn’t the one sitting in the chair. The man I had been dancing for, the one whose lap I was sitting on, was not him. My eyes darted around the room, trying to make sense of the situation.
The man I had been so intimate with was now watching us with wide eyes, his face a mask of surprise and discomfort. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and I scrambled off his lap, stumbling slightly as I stood up.
“I - - I’m so sorry,” I stammered, my voice barely a whisper. “I thought... I thought you were someone else.”
Nathan’s gaze shifted from me to the man, his eyes narrowing slightly. “And what exactly were you planning to do?” he asked, his voice cold and controlled.
“I - -” I began, but the words caught in my throat. “I was just trying to surprise Nathan with a dance. I didn’t know - -”
The man I had been dancing for, stood up, his face a mixture of confusion and mild irritation. “I think there’s been a mistake,” he said.”
Nathan’s eyes were locked on me, his expression unreadable. “It seems there’s been a significant misunderstanding,” he said, his tone firm. “If you wanted to perform, you should have made sure you had the right audience.”
“I’m sorry,” I repeated, my voice trembling. “I’ll just... I’ll leave.”
“No you are not leaving,” Nathan said, his voice very firm. Turning to the man in his seat, “Steve, please you can leave my office. Never you come into my office in my absence,”
I was so embarrassed that I needed to leave to hide my shame. “I didn’t think you had left the office, I... I didn’t know, please who was that?” I asked, not certain that he would answer me.
“That’s Steve my younger brother, please put on your clothes, and let's leave.” He said with a firm, commanding voice.
I was about to put on my clothes when someone flung open the door with such force that my shock almost took me to the floor.
“Who the hell is this slut, Nathan?” She asked.
As I stood there, shocked and embarrassed, the woman’s voice cut through the room like a knife. "This is an office," she snapped, her eyes narrowing as she stared at me with the utmost disgust. "I suggest you stop slutting around with my husband."Husband? My heart sank. Nathan never once mentioned he was married. I was mortified, and the shame washed over me in waves. He looked at me with pity, I couldn’t look back, not to him and not to anyone as my gaze was on the floor.I wanted to escape from the scene and disappear, but Nathan’s grip tightened on my arm before I could move. He stepped forward, his voice dangerously calm but filled with authority."I am not your husband, and you will treat my guest with the respect she deserves," Nathan said, each word cutting through the tension like thunder. His gaze was locked on her, firm and powerful. “If you can’t manage that, I will personally have you thrown out of this building.”The woman looked taken aback, her confidence wavered under
Nathan took me to one of the most exclusive and luxurious hotels in town. The moment we stepped out of his sleek car, I could feel the sudden change in the air. Heads turned, and it was clear that people recognized him. The way the staff greeted him, with respect and admiration, made me feel like I was stepping into a different world, one filled with luxury and privilege. I had never felt this important before, not like this.The grand lobby, adorned with marble floors and glittering chandeliers, felt like something out of a movie. As we were escorted to our table, I couldn’t help but notice the glances people gave us, as though wondering who I was. The way Nathan carried himself with such ease, it was clear this wasn’t his first time here. His confidence made me feel special like I belonged by his side. I felt like I was some sort of goddess and I walked majestically after him.When we finally sat down at our table, with a stunning view of the city’s skyline, the atmosphere shifted
Pachi’s face turned pale as Nathan’s words hung in the air. His usual swagger seemed to evaporate, leaving him fumbling for a response. "N-Nathan," he stammered, trying to regain his composure. "Our business - - of course, but - - uh... I didn’t expect you’d come here. I mean, this is… just a small café…"Nathan raised an eyebrow, his cool demeanour unchanged. "I go where I want, Pachi." His voice was smooth, and authoritative, as though he wasn’t just talking about the café, but about life itself. "Now, let’s not make this complicated."He gestured toward me, his hand light but commanding on the small of my back, and began guiding me to the VIP section of the café. I followed, a bit dazed, while Pachi stood there, rooted to the spot, still trying to gather himsel
Nathan leaned back in his chair, calm as ever, a faint smirk playing at the corners of his lips. He glanced at me, waiting for my reaction, his eyes glinting with amusement as if this were all just another game.I slowly lifted the cup to my lips, taking a small, deliberate sip of the coffee, savouring the moment. All eyes were on us now.I could see that. Lisa was still trembling, Pachi was frozen in the corner, Carlos was fuming with rage and I clearly do not understand why, though I loved itMy Nathan, as always, was calm and in control. He looked at Carlos as if he was not there. “Hope you are enjoying yourself? I want you to be comfortable and make sure you are not disturbed in any way.”I loo
Nathan took me to one of his hotels. As we entered the hotel, it was as if we had stepped into another world, one bathed in luxury and elegance. Marble floors gleamed beneath our feet, reflecting the soft glow of crystal chandeliers that hung like luminous stars from the vaulted ceiling. The air was perfumed with a delicate scent of orchids, adding a touch of nature to the opulent surroundings.Nathan walked beside me, his presence commanding yet reassuring. Every member of the hotel staff seemed to know him by name, bowing slightly as we passed. It was easy to see how each staff showed him reverence, their smiles genuine but mixed with the awe reserved for someone of his stature."Are you okay?" he asked gently for what seemed like the hundredth time. His voice, deep and smooth, cut through the splendour around us, grounding me amid
Nathan sat on the luxurious couch, his posture relaxed yet alert, his eyes never leaving me as I moved slowly across the room. My heart raced, but my steps remained measured and deliberate. I could feel his gaze like a physical touch, burning across my skin as I let the moment build, savouring the tension.I looked at him with a sly smile. “ You have not placed your order,” I said.He smiled back. “You’ve already collected payment.”‘Hmm, okay relax and try not to laugh this time,” I replied.“You have my word,” he said.With a subtle touch of my hand, I reached for the theater system and dimmed the ligh
Our bodies moved together in perfect harmony as if we had known each other for years, every touch, every motion seamlessly connected. It was so spontaneous that for a while I thought I was in love. Yes, there was a natural rhythm, an unspoken language between us, where every breath matched, every sensation heightened the next. His hands explored my body with confidence, each caress sending shivers through me, igniting a fire deep within.I felt him inside me, filling me completely, and it was like stepping into paradise. Every thrust and every movement was deliberate, yet spontaneous, raw and genuine. My body responded to his with a passion I had never known, and with each wave of pleasure, the connection between us deepened.He was always in control, leading the dance of our intimacy with strength and precision. His dominance made m
I looked at Nathan, still processing everything he'd shared about Katrina, and then, almost without thinking, I asked, “Why do you want me to work for you?”Nathan didn’t look up right away. He kept his eyes on his phone, scrolling as if the question didn’t require much thought. After a few moments, he paused, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Then he said, in that smooth, composed way of his, “You can choose, either work for me or keep making love to me.”I blinked, completely taken aback. “What?” I said, more out of disbelief than anything else.He finally looked up, that mischievous glint in his eyes. “You heard me,” he said, his tone playful but with an edge of seriousness. “One or the other
Nathan and I stepped into the sleek, high-rise office building of Cains Corporation, and the tension between us was evident. My heart pounded with a mix of dread and determination, while Nathan’s jaw was set in a hard line, his usual confidence tempered by the storm we were walking into. The elevator ride to the boardroom felt interminable, the silence between us punctuated only by the soft hum of the machinery.When we entered the room, the atmosphere was as icy as the air conditioning. Steve and Uncle Jesse, seated at the large conference table, looked up in unison. Their expressions shifted from surprise to defiance. Alex Sommer stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his back turned to us, gazing out over the city. He turned slowly, a sly grin spreading across his face as he took us in.“Well, well,” Alex drawled, his voice oozing mockery. “If it isn’t Nathan Cain and his... entourage. What a pleasant surprise.”Nathan’s lips tightened, but he ignored Alex’s taunt. “What’s going on
Nathan arrived the next morning, his face a mask of frustration and concern. He didn’t wait for me to invite him in; instead, he stepped into the room with an urgency that instantly unsettled me. I had been expecting him after our tense phone call, but the weight of his expression told me this wasn’t going to be a simple conversation. I gestured toward the couch, and we sat down in silence for a moment. Hoping that he would ask me about my meeting with Carlos because I had a lot running through my mind. The situation we have found ourselves in was because I chose to love him.He ran his hand through his hair, clearly grappling with how to begin. Finally, he exhaled deeply and broke the quiet.“Katrina’s not backing down,” he said, his voice low but resolute. “She’s made it clear that she’s going to push forward with this lawsuit. She’s demanding 50% of my worth, and she’s threatening to implicate you further. Mel, this isn’t just about me anymore, it’s about you too.”I felt a lump f
The air in the café shifted the moment Carlos walked in, his presence as commanding as it was unsettling. He strolled over to my table with an air of self-assured arrogance, a smirk playing on his lips. It was clear from the way he carried himself that he felt in control, and the glint in his eyes told me he was ready for a confrontation.“Well, well, well,” Carlos said, pulling out a chair and sitting down across from me without waiting for an invitation. “I got your little... plea bargain. That’s why I’m here.”I frowned, confused by his words. “Plea bargain? I don’t know what you’re talking about, Carlos.”His smirk widened. “Oh, come on, Mel. Let’s not play games. Pachi told me you wanted to talk, to negotiate, to plead for a truce. Isn’t that what this is?”I shook my head firmly. “No, Carlos. I’m not here to bargain or plead. I’m here to talk some sense into you, to figure out why you’re doing all of this.”Carlos leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest. “Why?
When I arrived at Café de Royal, the sun was settling down. Its warm golden glow filtered through the windows, casting soft shadows across the tables. My heart raced as I stepped inside, half hoping and half dreading the encounter I had orchestrated. The plan was simple: meet Carlos, try to reason with him, and perhaps take one step closer to untangling the mess that had become my life. But fate had other plans. Instead of Carlos, I found Lisa seated at a corner table, scrolling through her phone with a focused expression.The sight of her made my stomach twist with unease. I had hoped to avoid her tonight, at least until I spoke with Carlos, but now that hope was gone. Taking a deep breath, I approached her table. She looked up at the sound of my footsteps, her eyebrows raising in mild surprise.“Lisa,” I said, forcing a polite smile. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”“Mel,” she replied, her voice cool but not outright hostile. “What brings you here tonight?”I hesitated, unsure of
The phone felt heavy in my hand as I paced back and forth in the dim light of my father’s living room. The weight of Don Chappo’s call was still pressing down on me like a stone on my chest. With a deep breath, I pressed Nathan’s number, my fingers trembling as I waited for him to pick up.“Mel?” Nathan’s voice came through, low and calm, yet there was an edge of exhaustion in his tone.“Nathan,” I started, my voice faltering for a moment. “I just got off the phone with Don Chappo.”There was a pause on the line before Nathan responded. “What did he say?”I sighed, gripping the phone tightly. “It wasn’t what he said as much as how he said it. Nathan, he’s not happy. He knows about everything, Carlos, the warehouse, Alex Sommer. He’s worried that this mess is spiralling out of control.”Nathan let out a long, measured breath. I could hear the tension behind it, the way he was trying to keep himself calm. “And what did he want from you?”“To fix it,” I replied, my voice cracking slightl
After my conversation with Nathan, my instincts pushed me toward Lisa. If there was any chance to stop this madness before it spiralled even further out of control, I needed to address the situation head-on. Lisa had to understand the gravity of her actions and the potential consequences they were inviting. Yet, with the police on my trail, meeting her in person was risky. Still, I couldn’t let that stop me.We arranged to meet at a small, out-of-the-way café, one of those places that managed to stay under the radar. I arrived early, scanning the room nervously, hoping no one had followed me. Lisa walked in shortly after, her usual confident stride somewhat subdued as she spotted me. She gave a hesitant smile, clearly uncertain about the tone of the meeting.“Hey, Mel,” she said, sliding into the seat across from me. “You sounded... urgent on the phone. What’s going on?”I leaned in, lowering my voice. “Lisa, I’ll get straight to the point. This thing with Steve, it has to stop.”Her
It was a quiet evening when my phone buzzed, breaking the stillness of the room. I glanced at the screen, seeing Pachi's name flash across it. My heart sank slightly; calls from Pachi rarely carried good news, especially in the tangled web of complications we’d found ourselves in lately. I hesitated for a moment before answering, bracing myself for whatever storm was about to hit.“Pachi,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “What’s going on?”“Mel,” he began, his voice tinged with urgency and anger. “I don’t even know how to start this, but you need to hear it straight. Carlos, he’s gone too far this time.”A cold shiver ran down my spine. Carlos had always been unpredictable, his temper as volatile as a storm at sea, but there was something in Pachi's tone that told me this wasn’t just another one of Carlos’s outbursts.“What did he do?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Pachi let out a long sigh, as though he was gathering the strength to deliver the news. “He saw Steve
I pushed back from his hold and sat down. Nathan stood there, his arms folded across his chest, the tension between us thick enough to cut with a knife. I got up and took a hesitant step closer, searching his eyes for a change of emotion, of vulnerability, anything to bridge the growing tension between us. I tilted my head up and leaned in, intending to kiss him, to remind him of what we had. But before our lips could meet, he turned his head away, leaving me hanging in an awkward limbo.The rejection hit me like a slap. I took a step back, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment and anger. “What’s going on with you, Nathan?” I demanded, my voice sharp. “Why are you pulling away from me?”He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as if trying to stave off a headache. “Mel, it’s not you. It’s... complicated.”“Complicated?” I repeated, incredulous. “What’s complicated about this? About us? You say you care about me, but you won’t even let me get close to you anymore. Who am I to you, N
Nathan arrived at my father’s house just after sunset, his presence commanding even in the dimly lit surroundings. I had been pacing the living room, a swirl of emotions gripping me, confusion, frustration, and a growing sense of unease. When he walked in, he gave me a soft smile, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes.“You said it was urgent,” he said, shrugging off his coat and laying it across the back of the couch. “What’s going on?”I motioned for him to sit, but he remained standing, his posture rigid. I decided to get straight to the point. “I spoke to Alex today.”That got his attention. His brows furrowed, and his jaw tightened. “Alex?”“Yes,” I confirmed, crossing my arms. “He told me a lot of things, Nathan. About you, about him, about Katrina.”Nathan sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “What did he say this time?”I stepped closer, my voice steady but tinged with urgency. “He said you betrayed him. That you pushed him out of the business and took his shares, he said that’s
